All those who dare defy the rising economy and the changing world, will bow to it's will. Or break beneath it's weight.
Villages went from small shacks, to brick houses, Hammers and Screws to factories and smoke. Yes, my friend, the Industrial Revolution is on the rise, and you will Revolutionize with it. You will change, you will shift for it's will.
Times are changing, and so is your world. The kingdom of Almar is shifting, and so are it's several, smaller regions; Cinmark, the smallest of the regions, Bravewell, a large, coastal town, Houndstone, a small village within the dangerous marshes, Rayville, a sunny village east of Centerstone, and Centerstone, the largest and main village of Almar, with the castle In the middle of the kingdom.
With the Queen's death still causing grief, The king has spiraled into a tyrant, allowing the rise of child labor and harsh work conditions. The center of the destruction? Centerstone. Factories stand about, all run by several different figures of authority. Running the entire operation is a notorious Figure by the name of Rooker. Gaining millions from the revolution, he manipulated the king into agreeing to the Revolution. Yet, even he is unprepared for what is to come.
Kiernan, a sophisticated and intelligent man, works below the King as second in command. With the king bearing several children, it would be difficult to murder all and the king without being noticed, which is exactly what Kiernan wants. Anyone who knows anything, knows the Kings fighting ability, and Kiernan craves more than the throne. He craves power. He craves the crown. In order to gain the throne, he would need to rid of the king but only after having his own men, the entire kingdom of Lurnan, replace the authority figures in Almar. This would not only assure him the throne, but give him control of all of Almar.
Which brings us to your current state. Of course you just be frightened, I would be if I had just awoken in a strange room. This, is your new home young one, but only if you agree to what I ask of you. All of you, were chosen. Not by I, but by someone we far beyond my knowledge. You all have simple lives, but today, they change. If Kiernan succeeds in this overthrow, the entire fate of Almar, will be destroyed. As we speak, Kiernan's allowed his men to sneak into the kingdom. They hide within sewers and caves, like creatures. Now, I ask of you, are you prepared to fight till the end to save this world?

You have awoken in a strange room. You glance around as candles and oil lamps light up, illuminating the walls. It seems to be some sort of secret society, a guild perhaps. Around you are several of other figures just now waking up. Before you can speak, a woman appears, seemingly out of nowhere. Her words strike you, the kingdom is falling apart? Of course you wish to help, but you have a simple life, whether it be a merchant, a fisherman, or a housewife. You are no fighter, but you are not going to refuse becoming a hero.
In this rp, you are a simple figure. A person of no importance, with a bright future of action, mystery, and more. The kingdom is in danger, and it is up to you and your group to save it. Do what you must, whether it be fighting, stealing, sneaking, traveling to the castle or even to Centerstone, where no one with no importance dares go. But as you get closer and closer to Kiernan, he will become aware of your actions. Be careful, for a war is the last thing you want. You must fight to gain allies with the most skilled of people; Shards. Shards are beings that are the best of the best at their ability, but are nothing compared to what you are capable of. These shards, only have one ability. While your group, is capable of all.
There are five shards; The warrior, the trickster, the shadow, the light, and the whisper. Each shard is capable of one of the five abilities. The warrior; A fighter of legends. Capable of killing with one slap. The shard of strength. The trickster; A sharpshooter like no other. Capable of killing with a single shot from miles away, his speed and accuracy are matched by his thieving and manipulative ways. The shard of talent. The Shadow; The darkest of magic users. Their ability is purely in the dark arts. The shard of dark magic. The light; A user of pure magic, the light is capable of spells that can destroy an entire city. The shard of pure magic. The whisper; An assassin at worst, the whisper is notorious for killing the best of the best with no noise. The shard of sneak. Whether it be a notorious fighter, or a lowly merchant with no knowledge of his abilities yet, each shard is in the kingdom of Almar. And you need them to activate your true powers. Once your army is formed, gather evidence, Grow your magic, and find a way to overthrow Kiernan before he does so to the King. Your the new hero, and we need you..

Rooker
"That's interesting. No, really, I'm fascinated. I'm also leaving."
Gender; Male
Age; 25
Shard Type; The Trickster/ Shard of Talent
Personality; Rooker is "amoral," bearing no concept whatsoever of morality. He is narcissistic, egotistical, and displays a near psychopathic disregard for life, which netted for him considerable profits during the Age of Industry. By cutting wages by 100% and by extending worker hours in utterly unsafe conditions and casually executing those who resisted his rules, Rooker is highly feared. Rooker also possesses some amount of sexual impropriety, and a total disregard of loyalty or fidelity. His promiscuity is used to highlight his pleasure-seeking, self-indulgent lifestyle and his overall lack of concern for others or their sufferings. He also has both a limited amount of patience and a vain disposition about his appearance. Through his narcissism, his ego-maniacal nature, and his utter lack of respect for others, Rooker never shows any true signs of antagonism to even those who would consider themselves his enemies, viewing their attempts to foil him as almost amusing. This is best displayed in his attitude towards his enemies, who he regards as a playful rival of sorts rather than true threats.
History; Growing up, Rooker had a soft spot, often known as a gentle soul. On his 15 birthday, he caught his father attacking his mother. Used to his abusive ways, he attempted to run, only to have his father threaten him. That was the first day he used a gun. Putting a bullet between his father's eyes, his mother grew to fear her son. Soon committing suicide due to depression. In a rage of anger and despair, Rooker soothed himself by playing with matches within Grainfar's city barn, causing a fire and burning the village to the ground, along with everyone in it. Grainfar soon decayed into nothing more than a spooky forest. Rooker ran, becoming a mercenary and a skilled shooter. As he aged, Rooker became rich and powerful, owning the largest house in Centerstone and running the Industrial Revolution. He's become as deadly with a gun as a rattlesnake with venom.
Relationships; Few friends
Companions; ./A
Other; he wears this and has a small, heart tattoo upon his cheek bone.

Sealiah
It wasn't the cold stone beneath her feet, it wasn't the strange figures just waking up around her, and it wasn't the new room she now stood in, completely unaware as to how she ended up there. It was the puzzling woman standing before her, hood lowered and mystery flowing from her voice that confused and consumed Sealiah's attention. Her head still ached from the knock out, but that was all she remembered before waking up in the strange room. Or cave..or..whatever this was. She was scouting the outskirts of Rayville when she out. But now, she stood in the middle of a group of strangers, all slowly waking from a similar sleep. "Goodmorning, Sealiah." The hooded figure's wise tone kept Liah enticed to listen. "You are the first of the few to wake. Welcome, to the guild." Liah's brow furrowed, and unconsciously her hand reached back to grip her bow. Which, was now missing. "What...where.."
"I'm sure you have many questions.", the woman interrupted her babbling, "But let's await the others arrival before beginning. Please, wait patiently."
Sorry for the late finished application. It's done now! xD))

Willow
"I try to avoid people like you but I suppose diots are impossible to avoid."
Willow struggled to open her eyes. They felt heavy and her head was pounding. She scrambled to get on her elbows before pulling herself up. She could see a girl merely three feet away from her speaking, or a better word babling, to a woman in a cloak. She tried to find her words before speaking up. "Where am I?" She questioned. Her gaze shifted to the girl who looked in the same predicament. "And why are webhere?" She mumbled. She lowered back down to sit on her knees. Her legs felt rather weak. She rubbed her temples as she awaited a responce from either of the two.
Sorry for shortness. I'm really tired.))
