In the Name of the Thane! (Fantasy RP) [Inactive since 09/02/2013]

[WolfHeart88]

((Greetings to all! I've been on hiatus way too long! So on my return, I bring you "In the Name of the Thane!" An Off-Topic fantasy RP.
So, let's get started right away! ))





The realm of Vikkal is divided into three lands:

The first is the realm of Haafiner, the military capital of Vikkal, ruled by the Bullman Cournel. Its cities are made of stone- carved into the side of a great volcanic mountain known as "The Sleeping Dragon."

The second land is the land of Cenu, ruled by Jarl Greyfing, the Dogman. It is the poorest land, scourged by theives and cutthroats. It is composed of busy, crowded cities of brick and wood, unkept taverns, and allies crowded with beggars and stalked by assassins.

The third and final land is called Gehana, it is ruled by Blasphemious, the Goatman. Gehana is the richest land, home to great warriors, artists and architects. It is known as "The Fabled Land", its structures made of gold, and grand, its feasts beyond delicious.

The Ruler of Vikkal has kept his identity anonymous for over thirty years. Because of this, the residents of the three Lands have began to believe that Vikkal has no Ruler, and only the three Jarls are responsible for  the up-keeping of this nation.
I will not tell you if this is true or not- you will all find out.

Vikkal is populated by Halfmen and humans alike- Halfmen being the magical natives of the land, and humans the settlers.

Halfmen, also called Beastmen:

An animal with a human stature, bearing strong resemblance to a human. They walk on two legs, and are usually stronger and more intelligent than a human. On the other hand, their animal instincts often cause problems.

Humans:

The humans began to populate Vikkal only recently- which is why they serve as the the majority of beggars.
As citizens, their lives are usually tough, and they are often discriminated against by the Halfmen. But, if a human rises above their usual status, and has become a Nobleman, Warrior, or Mage, etc, they are treated with respect.

The three kings are also known as Jarls, High Lords, or Leaders. Each has risen to power through hardship and strife. Under their command are Thanes- people that have earned the Jarl's blessing. This title is not to be taken lightly. And under Thanes are Landowners- the highest rank a common citizen can achieve under Thane. They are given their own plot of land, a farm, and servants. A good, but modest life.

Vikkal can be one mans paradise, and another mans nightmare. While this is usually influenced by who the person is, it is also altered by the Things.
Halfmen are not the only magical beings in Vikkal. The Things are alien monsters- each one of them has a varied apperance. Usually they are thin, black-skinned, and wet, hideous humanoids. No one knows we're they came from, but some believe they were spawned by the gods to take revenge for Jarl Enke's rule.
Enke was a blasphemous tyrant. He was the one who caused the fall of the Land of Cenu.

The Gods:

Akavi: The creator. A giant horse, who is the world. Literally. Her fur is the grass, her eyes the sea.

Kem: The Hunt God. He first created the Beastmen out of animals, and is responsible for how well a hunt goes.

Meki: The Warrior God- responsible for winning wars and battles.

Na: The mother of night, silence and seriousness.

Zek: The playful god of day, noise and frolic.

Bess: The life-taker. She escorts souls to her cavern- Assem; world of the undead.

Laws of Vikkal:

1. No Godmodding.
2. No Powerplay.
3. If starting a conspiracy/assassination, pm the people you want involved. Do not tell anyone who isn't involved- that would spoil the surprise!
4. To join, you must be at least somewhat literate.
5. If you read the rules, type, "Hail Akavi!" After writing your application.
6. You may try to overthrow Jarls, Thanes, or even the King of Vikkal himself. Know that this is no easy task though.
7. Anything is allowed here, as long as it's not unfair to other RPers, or restricted in these rules.
The world is yours.

(I presume that it is alright if we may apply now, since they WIP was taken down.
If not, I am sorry and you may pm me what you want to put in this post so you don't have to recreate it.)


Name: Thorek BlackBlood
Appearance:

Thorek is a tall dark-haired muscular male with a light tan and dark hazel eyes that are often hidden behind a mask that made up of an animal's skull, believed to be a bear. Several scars line his back, similarly his arms as well. He never wears too heavy of an armor, and often sticks to just a shoulder bandolier, armored plated pants with deer skin boots to help silence footsteps, and light gauntlets. His weapons varies in an array of daggers/knives along with bow & arrows. Thorek also carries a side pouch for gold and other little things such as poisins and other craft-able smoke bombs for a quick get away.
Type: Human
Gender: Male
Social class: Mercenary Assassin
Reason for going to Gehana: As a Mercenary Assassin, traveling is very common because of contracts people make are usually assassination targets in different locations. Thorek has been tracking his latest assassination contract who has stopped in Gehana recently for an reason he is bound to discover. He is also searching for a follow up contract once he is finished with his current contract.
Strengths: Stealth, thievery, archery, agility, and persuasion.
Weaknesses: Over drinking as it tends to make him reveal information, a sucker for pretty females, unknown new locations.
Likes: Riches(Gold, gems, rare items, etc.), good entertainment, reckless actions, those who can agree with him.
Dislikes: Over concieded people, people who rip him off for a deal made, being followed with out his consent.
"Hail Akavi!"
