Hi all. I've been away from Sylestia for ageeessss so I thought I'd start back with a brand new rp :) Also pinging some old friends

Back story
The Kingdom of Maizina, ruled over by the secretive Central Sect, has been living in peace for years now. The four noble houses, Farol, Savali, Kalayo and Pagos, have ruled their respective lands in isolation from one another, preventing the horrific house conflict seen years ago. These four houses have access to powers that no human should hold, and wield them cautiously to maintain their power. The noble houses have prospered and the poor have been little more than slaves.
However, one week before the anniversary of 83 years of peace, the head of all four houses are murdered in one simultaneous attack. No one knows who or what killed them. On the same day, a number of the common people, previously slaves to the noble houses, gained powers of their own.
Tensions are now high as the world is dragged into chaos. Some are searching for the truth behind the deaths. Some are using the mayhem to gather more power for themselves. Some are simply trying to further bring on the downfall of the Kingdom of Maizina

Houses
Farol
Power: Light
Quarter: East
Main export: Cloth, paper, silk
Farol are highly respected, even by the other noble houses. They highly value tradition and preservation, and so technology has not advanced there in the past few centuries. They fight using ancient techniques and draw knowledge from history. Their main house is on the edge of a forest, and they often practice ancient arts in the trees. The Commoners in the Eastern quarter are very proficient craftsmen and artists.

Savali
Power: Shadows
Quarter: West
Main export: Coal, minerals
The most secretive of the houses, not much is known about their inner workings. Their main house is in an old crater that was formed by a meteor centuries ago. They own many mines, and the Commoners in their quarter generally work there. They are very good at covert operations and make good spies. The Savali are sneaky and work best at night due to their powers.

Kalayo
Power: Fire
Quarter: South
Main export: Wine, wheat
A resilient people, their main house is located in the desert. They can survive almost anywhere and continue fighting against all odds. They are a fiesty house who hold grudges for a long time. They don't easily forget wrongdoings and tend to rush into decisions. Most of their Commoners are farmers and work the land

Pagos
Power: Water
Quarter: North
Main export: Meat
The Pagos' main house is located atop a glacier. Their earliest ancestors were nomads, and tended livestock in the highlands. The Commoners of the Northern quarter live similarly, farming livestock, although some keep their livestock in one place. The Pagos are fiercely loyal and work best in a team. They move spectacularly well in groups of three or four and will defend their homelands at all costs.

The Commoners
Power: People
The Commoners are slaves to either one of the four houses, or in the Central Block. They are hard working and resourceful. Recently, some have been developing powers related to people. Note, this does NOT mean mind control. It's things like sensing emotions, detecting lies, knowing where people are, seeing someone's future/past, etc.

More information
Powers are rare, even in the Noble Houses. The Commoners have only just started developing these powers, and only few have been granted them. This also means they are not always proficient in their skills. Write jingle bells in your form if you have read this. Please do not make all characters have powers. Also, most of the story will take place in the Central Block, in between the four quarters. The Central Block is administered by the Central Sect. This is just so we don't have people all over the place, but you can go to and from if you want!

Rules
1. No godmodding and PLEASE no overpowered characters. It's no fun for everyone if someone ALWAYS has a special attack that automatically defeats everyone
2. Please have at least two characters. More are allowed but only take on what you can keep up with
3. For nobles, if your character is from the same house as someone else's, try and coordinate on back stories a bit
4. No one line responses
5. If you have read the rules, add your character's favourite colour to their likes section
6. DO NOT injure/kill someone else's character without them giving the okay
7. I will occasionally be doing an overall narration on particular big events to keep things together, please try to stick to those.
8. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

(Really bad and choppy sorry!)

:3 I just got back form overseas so I'm a little tired... You can expect finished forms in the following days though! And long time no see, loli :3 How's it been? (Which reminds me, I finally have my hands on the 1/2 Prince books, though I can't find number 2 :< )

Edit: i call Savali !!!! Though curious, with the crown princes/princesses, does that mean our characters are now the leaders? Because each head is currently dead, and I assume that our characters were already next in line when the heads were alive. Or are they crown princes/princesses now because someone else took over from the dead heads? And are their surnames the same as their house name?

WIP - A commoner without powers will be made soon, and the one liners for history and personalities are currently notes - don't read them @_@
_________________________________________________

CHARACTER FORM

'Will you trust me? Can you trust me?'

Name:
Alexiel Savali

Age:
19

Gender:
Female

House:
Savali

Rank:
Crown Princess

Power:
Shadow Manipulation

Appearance:

Sorry :< Hard to find a good pic to depict the person I have in my mind. (I have other pictures to but...) To be fair, in my head, she has short white hair that's in a boy's cut, sort of like Soushi Miketsukami, and wears a white/light grey kimono with a deep turquoise obi. But this works quite well as well! Hope you don't mind >~< Though due to the eyepatch let's say she has heterochormia, where her right eye is a crimson red as opposed to a hazel brown in her left eye.

History:
Alexiel was born to the rulers of the Savali house, minutes before her brother. As first born, she was taught since young how to rule the land of which the Savali owned, her parents confidant she'd be the next to rule. Due to the requirements for a Savali leader, the training was harsh, but Alexiel never gave up. It had helped that she had friends to aid her, and her twin as well.

Since a young age, Alexiel had adopted a male persona - much like how her twin somehow ended up adopting a female one. They often took each other's places when the other was needed elsewhere, and this soon became integrated into their training, and strengthened the twins' relations. A good thing, since they it gave them each a person they knew they could trust.

As Alexiel grew up, her ideals soon started to shape, and upon meeting a commoner by the name of 'Marethyu', her resolve was set. She would make Savali a better place for the commoners, and she started with the military. Working her way up, she was soon one of the main leaders there, and aided the civilians by reducing punishments and such. It worked - and even if the commoners don't know she aided them, it's fine to her - at least till her parents' deaths. Now about to be sworn in as the new leader, Alexiel has bigger issues to face, and tougher choices. But with her brother and friend by her side, she'll be fine.


'Remember this, Alexiel - you are to be the next ruler of this house. Act like it.'

Personality:
Perhaps one would call Alexiel 'aloof', 'cold' and 'heartless', but some would disagree. They'd say she was kind, thoughtful, warm - the other traits are but a mask. However, one cannot deny that she is a woman of few words, one, who more often than not, bears a male's appearance.

In truth, she's just a human who bears an enormous responsibility, and it's affecting the way she can behave, resulting in a mask of apathy and an inherent distrust to most people. People who, unless they get to know her better, would only ever know her as a cold-hearted ruler.


'I am worried, brother - leading this house is no easy task. It places us both at risk, including you, Marethyu. And what if I were to err? It could mean Savali's downfall, and the deaths of many. I do not tbelieve I am up to the task yet, but what choice do I have?'

Strengths:
Due to lack of physical strength, Alexiel's main asset is her speed - both for wits, thinking and on foot. She's no dud either, being intelligent and sharp-eyed. 'Acting' and 'Analysing' - reading people, or simply to understand literature works and the like - can be noted as her skills as well. Stealth, but that's only usual for a Savali. Alexiel hides many things.

Weaknesses:
Light, as usual. While unaffected by sunlight and similar weather-related lighting, bright artificial lights irritate Alexiel, and Farol-ablities can weaken her. Though, like yin and yang, where there is light, there are shadows, so while completing disabling her isn't possible, it's safe to say that Farol-abilities would be the most efficient way to cause her distress.

Further, due to lack of physical strength, Alexiel has to rely on her speed - if that's taken from her, while she may be able to hold her own in a fight somehow - she will most likely end up the loser. She's not entirely good with people skills either, and perhaps her distrust in most people can be considered a weakness as well.


Likes:
Simple - shadows, peace, quiet, nature. She likes calming things, but doesn't mind some noisy loud things either. A good book can also captivate her attention, though she may not always be free to read, instead she may be more often found with a pen in her hand. One can say she likes the colour purple, or silver, though it's debatable which is really her favourite - she seems to like both equally alongside white and black. A less known fact though, she doesn't mind a good prank or two. A more better known fact? She likes Marethyu and her brother.

Dislikes:
Too much noise and lights disturb her, she prefers them evened out. Not too bright, not too noisy. Betrayal - although she knows she'll probably face this countless times in her life, nothing hurts more than trusting someone only to have them turn their back on you. For some reason, she doesn't like Kalayos much, something about them being too... 'troublesome'.

'I dislike them simply because they cannot learn to forgive. It is as mother said - holding a grudge is akin to drinking poison whilst expecting the other to die. It doesn't help anything, instead it destroys you. This, I'm sure, will be their downfall. Or perhaps, it may yet be their greatest asset? A drive, of sorts, unhealthy as it is.'

Trivia:
Alexiel, Allen and Marethyu share a couple pets between them - two wolves, male and female, names Yoru and Reimei, and a hawk, lyrebird, owl and raven, male, male, female and female, names Aeolius, Apollo, Nyx and Luna.

CHARACTER FORM

'Even if everything seems impossible, hope will guide the way. Never give up.'

Name:
Marethyu Iridum

Age:
19

Gender:
Male

House:
Savali

Rank:
Commoner, Servant

Power:
Empathy

Appearance:



History:
It wasn't easy to live as a commoner - since young, Marethyu's had it rough - especially since his name meant 'Death', aside from 'Man'. Bullied, picked on, yet still having to work in the mines, and juggling school all the while, it wasn't the most ideal life, but somehow, he made it through.

Perhaps the encounter with the princess of Savali had aided him - when Marethyu was young, barely a teen, he'd fallen down, dropped some items he was carrying. Alexiel, who was out without supervision due to a task, helped him then, and a shaky friendship was formed, one that would last and only grow when Marethyu became a servant at the caste, and later, Alexiel's personal aide.

He's been with her since then, and will continue to do so even after the head's death. A promise he made that he will never break, and he's become one of the few people Alexiel can completely trust - even if she expects him to betray her sooner or later, which he will never do.


'I know it's hard, Marethyu, but please, don't give up. Thing will look up for us, I know it!'

Personality:
Marethyu, a generally calm and quiet boy, is usually seen as mature beyond his age. It is also known that he bears a passive and submissive nature, rarely showing aggression unless need be. Tranquil and kind, some think of him as an angel, while those who see a colder, harsher side, think of him as his name implies - Death.

'Calm, Alexiel. Think about this a moment - you are a Savali, one who bears the power of the shadows. If you were to lose your temper, where would that leave us? I understand your pain - your father has just passed, and at another's hand - however, please think of the kingdom that your father built. He would not want it fallen because your temper had gotten the better of you.'

Strengths:
As few know his place by Alexiel's side, his identity allows him to perform deeds the royals cannot - stealing, spying, assassination... He's able to try his hand at those 'activities' without fear of being recognised. Further, he is able to easily remember things, and can hold his own in a fight. His work in the mines make him harder to take down, and since young he learnt the art of imitation.

Weaknesses:
He started training a tad late, being roughly 13 when he joined the castle. Needless to say, while he can perform spywork and similar tasks, he is not the best, and can still make mistakes, especially in fights.

Likes:
Music, he enjoys playing or just listening to songs, and if it wasn't obvious enough from the time he spends with the royals' pets, he likes animals as well. He also enjoys nature, and during his free time, if he's not singing with the birds or practising, then he's helping out the other commoners. He also likes reading and may sometimes be found doodling away, and does tend to like earthly colours like green or brown.

Dislikes:
...Somehow, not much. He doesn't particularly like bullies or people who hurt his friends or family, and he hates to see them in trouble or pain. Majority of the time, it depends on the situation if he'll dislike something or not, but he definitely does not like drinking.

'-coughs- Ahem. Erm.. Alexiel, not to be rude, but what the heck did you just give me?! I think it just killed off my taste buds!'

Trivia:
Alexiel, Allen and Marethyu share a couple pets between them - two wolves, male and female, names Yoru and Reimei, and a hawk, lyrebird, owl and raven, male, male, female and female, names Aeolius, Apollo, Nyx and Luna.

CHARACTER FORM

'Even if things start to look down, just look up! The sun always comes after the rain, after all!'

Name:
Allen Savali

Age:
19

Gender:
Male

House:
Savali

Rank:
Prince

Power:
-------

Appearance:

...Yes, erm.... Pink hair and coat... nope >~< White hair and coat? Yes! But trying to find Allen Walker fanart that actually looked right was... horrid, and this was one of the pics I actually liked... (unless you'd like more...bloodied photos) so I hope you don't mind some description, though aside from the 'he looks like Allen just a bit more childish' there's not much - he just has heterochromia, where his left eye is red, and his hair just barely hides it, so he sometimes wears an eye patch like his twin.

History:
Allen was born to the rulers of the Savali house, minutes after his sister. As second born, he wasn't the main focus of his parents, and got away with a less strict training regime than his sister. True, they shared similar training - but it was on different levels. Alexiel was more prone to end up in the infirmary if she made a mistake, while her brother would probably just be sore for an hour or so.

To be fair, Allen was more of less left to his own devices the moment he proved able to handle the basics of being a royal, and an 'understudy' for his sister. Because of that, he ended up with a much more enjoyable life, being able to have more fun and less scrutiny placed on him. Though, he did aid his sister whenever he could - they were twins after all, and twins had to be there for each other.

Soon though, after their parents realised that the twins were able to fool others into thinking one was the other, both were soon wrapped up in harder training to ensure that if need be, they'd never be distinguishable from the other. For once, training was fun.


'Allen, you will never have to carry a burden like the crown that will be passed to Alexiel. She must not allow herself to be led astray, not even by you, my son.'

Personality:
A complete contrast to his sister, Allen is trusting, cheerful, energetic and enthusiastic. He's rarely upset, but when he is he can make quite a scene. While a usually happy-go-lucky, friendly guy who can brighten up anyone's day, he can be a bit loud and intrusive, making a few find him annoying.

He can laugh off nearly everything, and tries to let nothing get in his way - he's really persistent and determined. And when need be, he can be serious as well, including being more cautious with who to trust. Like his sister, Allen has a few shades to his personality, but is nearly always the more approachable of the two.


'Geez, you guys are really, really stiff, you know that, right? Like, come on, live a little! Have some fun! We're not getting any younger you know! Besides we're not the rulers yet, so might as well enjoy ourselves, am I right?'

Strengths:
Allen's determination and innovation helps him tons, especially since he finds it difficult to fight 'normally', as others put it. With a mix of dance and twin blades, Allen created a fighting style that suits him, so aside from innovation and creativeness, one can say his strength is also his love for arts. He's good at sneaking too.

Weaknesses:
Allen's weak constitution means he lacks strength and can easily fall in a fight, and is prone to falling sick - but thankfully not by much. His playfulness and compassion can also be considered a weakness, but sometimes, it's a strength.

Likes:
Allen loves the Arts, and can easily be found drawing or playing music. It's easy to find him in a library as well, or simply enjoying the company of animals and nature. He likes soft colours as well, like lavender or blush, and prefers the soft daylight to the darkness of the night.

Dislikes:
It doesn't appear as if anything troubles him much, but he does get a bit miffed if he sees others being bullied or treated unfairly. He's a bit childish as well, so some things like formalities and proper etiquette are things he dislikes. He also bears a hatred for loss of life.

'Y-you... How dare you! Get away from them! Stop this madness, they may be commoners, but they are humans too! We have no right to treat them this way. They may have a quota, but think, will they really be able to fulfil it if you wound them, if you maim them?! They would not! Now, if you want them to do well, I suggest you get these poor people some water and food.'

Trivia:
Alexiel, Allen and Marethyu share a couple pets between them - two wolves, male and female, names Yoru and Reimei, and a hawk, lyrebird, owl and raven, male, male, female and female, names Aeolius, Apollo, Nyx and Luna.

Heya Soltra, glad to see you around! How are the 1/2 prince books?!?!?! I'm jealous that you have them, I've only read the manga still XD
Things have been alright for me, super busy and probably only getting busier. But such is life. How was overseas?
The Crown Prince/Princess is theoretically the next head of the house, however I'm sure some pesky people will try to take over. They were already next in line before the old heads were murdered, so likely their daughters or sons. :)
