Sorry, the roleplay has closed!

An Age Without Gods begins Forty-Years after a mass extinction of deities. These deities had kept the world in line and commanded magic to flow through every species, even humans. But, with the gods gone most magic has withered, bringing down most species with it and leaving behind blood-thirsty husks.
The gods did leave behind some hope, rare and widely hunted for their blue blood that can bring magic to the person who drinks it, God Spawn; born from shards of the deceased deities. God Spawn look much like humans, their main distinctions being their blue blood, their unruly agility and strength, and a strange/off-putting gleam in their eye (unintentional).
God Spawn are also known for their incredibly strong magic that they hold within themselves, they are not nearly as strong as their god ancestors but they are essentially magic batteries. Most humans kill them and use their blood to enchant their talismans/staves/Amulets, others treat them like gods, hoping that they will be graced by their magic and become powerful once more, some even use them as weapons, placing them in their militaries as ultimate killing machines or healers; Able to heal or slaughter hundreds of soldiers at a time, lastly, only seen in one kingdom known only for its peace and prosperity, welcoming minorities and holding celebrations open to anyone, this place is called Aelythyr, Ruled by a fair king who is God Spawn himself.

Our characters have the goal of getting to Aelythyr, all of which being god-spawn with different backgrounds, powers will differ and you can be creative with them, as long as they aren't op. The role play won't stop at Aelythyr either, it will go onto the characters existing in the kingdom for a little bit, becoming an open-ended roleplay.

Kingdoms/Landmarks
(Will add a map soon)

The starting point, The Ilani Forest-
A once magic flush forest filled with creatures ranging from the smallest Song Bird to the Titanic beasts now only heard of in fables. Now, the only creatures in it are wolves, crows, and the sparse amount of deer that got lost in it. It seems to stretch on for miles and appears to absorb light as if it is trying to trap whatever poor soul that happens to wander into its clutches.


The Shrine of a dead goddess- (Will draw/paint.)
This landmark is located in the center of the Ilani Forest, it is a statue of the fallen Goddess, Lorowhym, their world's version of mother nature/Gaia. After the goddess's death, the clearing has become overgrown and seems to now be a beacon of mist. There is a bath connected to the landmark, leading out to an open field where a small and weary village can be found.

Mosswood-
The village at the mouth of the Ilani, parts of it seems to be consumed by the woods already. The village seems to strive off of trapping/hunting, which has dwindled slowly since the extinction, and villagers are starting to call it quits and pack up to find somewhere they'll have better income.


Draetik, the first Kingdom-
Ruler: Lord Blythe Draetik (Scheduled to marry Aderyn)
Heirs: Her younger cousin Holly Draetik
Allies: Draetik

The first and one of the most dangerous, your stay should be short. Most of the city is thirsty for God Spawn blood, it is more valuable than diamond in Draetik- owning one, alive, will make someone rich. The once clean and well-respected city smells of death and is filled with criminals and the Lord of the city has turned her back to the city, trying to focus on what can be saved.


Kraymore Mountain Range-
A dangerous mountain range cutting Draetik off from the other kingdoms, it is known for its strong shifts in weather and lack of cover. There are caves, but they are few and far between. They lead out into the next kingdom's country, you will come across a traveling circus filled with God Spawn, they will take you to the next Kingdom.


Sable, the second kingdom-
Ruler: Queen Octavia Sable, her husband, King Gwenmore Sable
Heirs: Their eldest child, Aderyn Sable
Allies: Draetik

Sable is filled with nut jobs who seek out and worship any God Spawn they can, hell, their queen is essentially a cult leader. The city is located directly off of the mountain range, known for its mining, the castle sits on top of a cliff and has lush gardens. Sable is also known for its highly developed technology for a fantasy world.


The Sable Catacombs-
Much like the ones in France, the Sable Catacombs are filled with bones, but these are of the dead deities, their spawn, and the now long gone fantastical races that once roamed alongside humans. These catacombs double as a discrete exit for those who don't wish to be caught.


Fyllnore-
A village that the catacombs open up to. The residents are hardy and are only adapting to the new world, telling tales of the old times. Fyllnore is known for agriculture and fishing, it is quite a bit larger than MossWood.


The Battlegrounds of Lelanolor-
Here is where a great war has taken place, between Sable, Kraymore, and the reigning champion with its GodSpawn soldiers, Helgroth. Many have died upon the once beautiful Lelanolor Meadows, Helgroth has demanded that the carnage must be left as both a warning and a trophy, slowly, the meadow is returning.


Helgroth, the third Kingdom-
Ruler: General Ladon Wellsore.
Heirs: His second in command, Korran Estonia
Allies: The kingdom has shut itself away and is rather hostile, is rather independent.

Helgroth has always been ruled by its military, but before the great extinction, it was known for bringing peace to the world. Now, the general has cast doubt on the world and will battle anyone who gets in his way of power. He treats God Spawn like horses and if they fail him they will be executed, he has yet found the need to drink Blue Blood yet.
The kingdom is now under strict curfews and very few are allowed to leave the kingdom without the perfect reason.


Geihenna Mountain Range-
Unlike the Kraymore, Geihenna is covered in lush forests and many animals have retreated into its welcoming woods. But your characters must be careful of wild beasts and thorns, the forests seem to be maze-like as well.


Aelythyr, the hidden kingdom-
Rulers: King Sabon Aelythyr, lost his wife a couple of years ago to an illness but he's remarried to Eowyn Dex
Heirs: He has three children, the eldest of which is, Maedai, She is known for her Musical abilities. The second eldest is Mannix, known for his intellect. And the youngest is Leatrix, known for her immense strength.
Allies: Has been forgotten, yet to reach out.

Aelythyr, located in a basin, surrounded on all sides by mountains covered in maze-like forests. This wonder of a kingdom has been long forgotten by the outside world, and despite being the smallest, it is quickly growing from all of those flocking to it for refuge. Aelythyr is a beacon for magic, and the closer one gets to the kingdom the more magical everything seems. In Aelythyr, it seems like nothing has changed.

Appearance:
(He stands at 5' 11 and has a symbol printed onto his back that he likes to cover up.)



Name:
Xenos Arious

Nickname:
None

Age:
Nineteen

Pronouns:
He/they

Sexuality:
Pansexual

Powers:
As a descendent of Zanazrail, the deity of Death and Enigmas, his abilities have something to do with death, but it resembles something of necromancy. He isn't one to revive but in a fit of rage, he can summon hoards of the undead to do his bidding. This of course takes a toll on his health, withering his energy, giving him migraines, and causing him sleep paralysis. His abilities work much better on the newly deceased.

Equipment:
Satchel
> A home-made note-book
> Writing utensils
> A money pouch
> A flask of drinking water

Though he isn't the fighting type, he has a well-taken-care-of sword on his side at all times for self-defense.

Personality:
Xenos is the sit back and observe type, constantly jotting down notes while trying not to be noticed. He can be rather closed off and likes to keep to himself, all he wants is to avoid conflict, but his mere existence makes that impossible. Because he's been the only one of his kind he's known for most of his life, he can get quite a bit nervous around other God Spawn, worried he's going to mess something up or embarrass himself.
When Xenos gets stressed he begins to shut down and will babble to himself, trying to calm down. He will rarely ever snap at anybody and has been known for flinching. Xenos has always tried not to get upset, worried that someday he might summon the dead on accident and he doesn't want to deal with it.
(TLTR: A young and quiet man who is slowly losing grip on reality/Mental breakdown hours tm.)

Likes:
+ Drawing birds/other nature things.
+ Insects/Arachnids, he collects beetles.
+ Making up stories to tell future companions.
+ Quiet people, they don't cause him stress.
+ Moss.
+ Being able to express himself, even if he's scared to.

Dislikes:
- Being disrupted.
- City settings.
- Most humans, he lost his trust in them before he could walk.
- Yelling/loud people.
- Messing up.
- Dogs.

Strengths:
+ He is an amazing artist and can copy almost any living thing down on paper.
+ He's wonderful at tracking/waypoints, able to navigate anywhere.
+ Can play the flute.
+ Has written down/drawn almost every plant known to man and its effects.
+ He is actually pretty well versed with his sword.
+ Incredibly polite and can talk his way out of almost anything.
+ Is incapable of being grossed out. (Can handle any sort of carnage.

Weaknesses:
- Prone to anxiety attacks.
- Gets claustrophobic very fast.
- He never learned how to cook so he ended up eating berries, grubs, non-poisonous mushrooms, and sometimes raw deer meet. (Therefore he is small)
- He can't be active for long after he uses his abilities.
- Hoards bugs and other small creatures.
- Constantly overthinking.

Backstory:
Xenos was born into slavery in Helgroth, at the end of the great battle of Lelanolor, hence where he got the brand on his back. As soon as his powers showed he was trained to become a killing machine, just in case another war was to break out. This was of course not fit for his mind that has been chock-full of wonder since he was young.
(Sixteen) One night, after a particularly jarring encounter with Helgroth's general, Xenos packed his things and broke out of his prison of a life. Most of that night he spent blacked out. All of his pent-up emotions bursting from him and used summoning executed prisoners/GodSpawn from their ungrateful graves and were used to clear a path for his escape.
The next thing he knew, he was in the middle of the Ilani woods, and he's been hiding in an old hunter's cabin ever since.

----------------------------------

Appearance:
Idalia is 5'2 and rather muscular for being small,



Name:
Idalia Aelius

Nickname:
Ida

Age:
Seventeen (About to turn Eighteen)

Pronouns:
She/They, He/They

Sexuality:
Pansexual- Isn't directly looking for a relationship.

Powers:
As the spawn of the Deity of the Sun and New Beginnings, Zathirore, her powers mainly surround creating light/fire. She can produce flames out of her body, she has had enough practice to be able to use the flames in a controlled fashion. (Balls of light, firewalls, can set
her body on fire and can possibly breathe fire, though it takes a lot of energy) Because of this, her body is naturally incredibly warm and she seems to be constantly running a high fever.

Equipment:
She has a crossbow she keeps on her person at all times.

Her Bag:
- Crossbow Bolts
- A box of kindle.
- A crossbow tuning kit.
- A strange letter.
- Candles.

Personality:
Idalia is a hot head and is rather stubborn, often taking lead and taking risks in harsh situations. It is hard to gain her trust, and she can be rather (Unintentionally) judgemental and can become restless around a person they deem untrustworthy. Idalia doesn't handle their emotions well and often lets their anger get ahead of them, this can cause mass collateral damage.
After someone gains what little trust Idalia has, they'll find a strong and caring ally. She might be rather eccentric and even violent, Idalia can be incredibly kind and sweet. She really is optimistic and idealizes her genetic advantage to the point that she can be arrogant- even without knowing it. She really is just a kid who grew up in an unfair world raised by a bunch of carnies that taught her that violence is one of the best roads to safety.
On a lighter note, Idalia is very competitive and above all other things, believes in fairness. Even if she loves winning, she loves winning fair and square and won't step on people to get her way, she isn't a sore loser either

Likes:
+ Sweets.
+ When things get competitive.
+ Celebrations, performing, and overall jovial occasions.
+ Loud environments/the big city. (She knows most city slums like the back of her hand, even in touch with a lot of the God Spawn in hiding.)
+ Children, human or not, most of them don't care what you are, she loves making them laugh.
+ Has a taste for mindless violence, she loves burning things down, if the situation calls for it or not.

Dislikes:
- Human adults, most of them are terrible, she's seen how they exist, they've seen them commit executions upon loved ones, Idalia can't help but despise them.
- Being referred to as any sort of adorable, they aren't used to it, they don't like being seen that way because they don't want to be seen as weak.
- The cold, stifles their abilities, along with the rain.
- Getting bored. (nothing god comes from a bored Idalia.)
- Bland anything.
- The dark.

Strengths:
+ Can become a literal ball of fire.
+ Is stubborn not to be played like a fool.
+ She's wonderful at distractions and deception, can come up with stories off the top of her head.
+ She is essentially a tank, despite her height, and could probably take down a grown man twice her size.
+ Idalia knows a lot of people and knows the slums of many places like the back of her hand.
+ She's good at taking charge in risky situations. (She will literally blast her way out if she has to.)

Weaknesses:
- If she uses her powers to their full extent for a long enough amount of time, she'll cook from the inside.
- Is stubborn enough to put herself and others in danger.
- If left alone for too long, something can and will crash and burn.
- Despite being strong enough to flip a grown man on his back, she isn't very fast, especially since her legs are so short.
- Is still just a destructive little kind, isn't the smartest.
- Her arrogance can and will get her maimed.

Backstory:
Idalia was raised in a circus caravan, being adopted by Nicolai Aelius, the main attraction and a hidden God Spawn. Somehow, over the years of traveling between kingdoms, nobody has suspected anything, after all, they usually woke up in the morning only knowing the carnival as a dream; Nicolai could make light apparitions and could even change the color of light for mood changes. Though, every time they left, there was some sort of great destruction, even leading to a few uprisings of God Spawn, bringing down a few of the much harsher villages down in the show's wake. Though, sometimes, when the spell to forget failed, one of them was found out and slaughtered. (And yet the circus thrived off of the public's ignorance.)
Despite the bizarre and violent upbringing, Idalia's guardians made sure to give her an at least honorable moral compass.
Just a couple of weeks ago, when her caravan was in Draetik, Idalia decided to go out on their own and figure out the world for themself- and maybe even find some companions along the way. She promised to come back and that together they'd go to the forgotten city together and perform.

Appearance:


Name: January Hyland

Nickname(s): None

Age: (Sixteen - Twenty-seven): 22

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Ace Aromantic

Powers: January is a descendant of Ethrevos, the god of Time and Beginnings, and as such his abilities are somewhat nebulous. His powers aren't quite reliable and cut in and out a lot, but they have something to do with speeding up and slowing down time. However, he must always return to the usual track of time- for example, if he were to speed up time so three hours took three minutes, he would then have to slow down so that three minutes took three hours. If he spends too long outside the 'normal' time, his body begins to break down- he'll begin bleeding from random places and eventually collapse. The more emotional January becomes, the less likely his powers are to work.

Equipment:
-Bladed Spear (he's excellent with spears in general)
-A pack filled with various survival tools (firestarters, food/water, pocketknife)


Personality: January isn't unfriendly, but not warm and cuddly at all. Generally cool, calm and collected, it takes an immense amount of strain to get January to show any emotion whatsoever. He's usually a very 'chill' person to be around, but it's like he never lets anyone in at ALL. January is terribly awkward in social situations beyond a simple conversation, as he really doesn't feel many emotions and doesn't wish to anyways. January spends most of his time alone and although he doesn't particularly dislike people, he doesn't like them all too much either.

Likes: Nature, balance, thinking, living off the land

Dislikes: Cities, people, conversation, small furry animals (ick)

Strengths: January is near impossible to ruffle and keeps his head in the direst of situations.

Weaknesses: January is somewhat obtuse and unsympathetic, and causes many a breakdown in more emotional people. He is unfortunately blunt.

Backstory: Born in Mosswood, January is a skilled hunter and lived a relatively normal childhood.... until, of course, he fell on a hunting trip when he was ten and started bleeding blue blood. January was somewhat freaked out by the intense array of emotions shown towards him by those in Mosswood and otherwise, so he fled to live a life of his own. He shows his face when necessary, but really he doesn't like to interact with other people unless entirely necessary.

Love Interest: "...no thank you."

Theme: (Theme is a song that you think fits the character.)
King Of Pain by The Police

Voice Claim: Aaron Himelstein

Other: Is this alright?

claim
i uh
don't know how active i'll be with school and with me being in two other rps rn lol
but i'll try to keep up
i just thought the setting was really cool

Appearance:

6'3


Name: Velfor Castidras

Nickname(s): Vel

Age: 26

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: He'd rather not, really. He's married to his research.

Powers: Born from the shattered soul and spilled, accursed blood of a long-forgotten god of chaos and destruction once said to have traveled across many realms to enslave mortals to his bidding, Velfor has inherited a great deal of strength from the ancient god's blood. He has the power to melt down, reform, and reconstruct matter into new forms on touch and prolonged focus, provided the source object has the same mass and weight as the object he intends to reform an object to.

Equipment: Nothing more than an old magic tome, an old amulet, a feathered cloak to hide his face when needed, a satchel usually thrown over a shoulder, a small pocketbook, and things to write in it with.

He can defend himself with basic dark magic in the form of condensed energy bolts as needed, but often keeps his powers and any magic ability fully under wraps unless the need arises. He does not like using his reformation powers on other living beings, citing it as being completely inhumane and dangerous.


Personality: Honestly, despite a normally quiet, stoic exterior, Velfor is always up for conversation. He seems to be quite knowledgeable and well-read on many subjects and always willing to lend a helping hand. He's somewhat obsessive when it comes to details and menial subject matters that might come across as pedantic to some, but he likes to keep up an affable, agreeable demeanor and remain a friendly face despite his dark, twisted powers.

Likes:
-Pigeons
-A good book
-Being outdoors
-Dogs. Really, most animals in general, but dogs seem to have a special place in his heart.

Dislikes:
-Horses. Horses creep him out.
-Being abandoned.
-Cults, for good reason. The whole worshipping thing creeps him out too.
-Being disrespected or treated poorly. It seems to hit a personal nerve with him and is one of the few things to set his temper off.

Strengths:
He is intelligent and very perceptive to the intentions and personal character of others. He seems to be very patient and accommodating of others, not letting much phase him personally. Velfor also seems to be a secretly good cook, but it's something he's very humble about.

Weaknesses:
-Has a hard time focusing his power under stress.
-Tends to get frustrated easily in tense situations.
-Power is physically taxing and tends to leave him exhausted using it for large objects or long durations.

Backstory: Originally born in Sable and raised by a cult priest, Velfor moved out to Fyllnore as soon as he became an adult to break away from the cult, conceal his lineage, and fulfill his dream of being a scholar and researcher of myths and gods of olden times. He's lived a quiet life so far, fearing the cult that raised him may want him back once more for nefarious purposes..

Love Interest: No. Seriously, no.

Theme: x,x

Voice Claim: I'll come up with one eventually, I actually really don't have one in mind just yet other than maybe Sanguine from Skyrim. :>

Other: Tell me if this guy's too broken and I'll scale him down, I'm well aware his powers are kind of op and I'll try to just tone him down as much as I can
Kinda basing his powers and lore off an existing god I have in my own rp settings so oop
If it's not okay with you, I can change it but I saw cults. i like cults

I can also give you details on his god forebearer, if you'd like. He's this eldritch, world melting god formed accidentally from a human soul reincarnated horribly wrong that's usually been sealed by other gods for eons to stop him from destroying other universes. Here, I imagine he's already long dead with all the other gods, but godspawn like Velfor formed with his powers would be highly sought after I'd imagine for many various reasons. :^)
