Revert your posting to here. Also for all future refrences I have nothing against anyone on this forum that I know of. Also on other unrelated news I will post up who is in and what they are playing as soon.

I now just noticed the name of this RP, and a question has arisen in my mind.

Is there some sort of high and mightly religion in this world we should know about?

Yes there could be. However I did it mainly because it sounded good for the RP even though I worked it in. But also its the name of the mountainous region where you guys start off at (do to the naturally occuring stairs in the mountain and its height.)

Baiscally there are two religous sects. Istar and Xanthos. Baisically Istar is a Cult of people who cling to there weird ideals that will cause problems later and Xanthos is the heavy handed caste religion. They are your two major bad religons.

First off, if we're going by anime rules, my guy will obviously will have a bunch of fangirls, have amazing skills that most couldn't pull off, get his shirt ripped off for some/no reason and get laid first. Why? He's the pretty boy, that's why.

Anyway, what exactly do the Xanthos and Istar believe in? Any gods or rituals of any importance?

Actually... your character will have amazing skills that no one other than Janus would be able to pull off. The old crazy guy in anime is always uber powerful, but never shows it. Kind of like if there was a four year old...

Oh yeah, how could I forget? Then, it will turn out that Janus passes off his skills in an incredibly short amount of time to another person; usually the hero, the pretty boy, or the bad ass; though one person can be all three. The only requirement is that they have to be young.

Some stereotypes:

The Badass none-hero (male): Always the second best; always. Doesn't matter if he has trained infinitely more than the hero, they often don't have the strength of the "heart" the lead has.
The Badass none-hero (female): Falls in love with the first person able to beat her. Doesn't matter if it's a man, a woman, or a duck. After falling in love she'll blush a lot, try to hide her feelings by kicking the object of her affection's ass at any oppourtunity, and have sexual tension so thick it would make Son Goku's head seem as soft as a pillow.
Hot Amazonian Chick: Can beat normal men and the hero men senseless, but is utterly powerless against villains.
Kids: Always appearing weak, they either have a physical prowess that no adult can match or they have super magical powers. Often both. Oh, and they tend to be either ignorant or insanely smart.
Old Men: They can do everything, except get a girl, which is why most of them a perverts or have no sex drive at all.

In any case, by anime rules the instant one of you loses the girl, be it by KO, murder, having her crushed to death by Puchus, you will become a being of godlike power for the purposes of smacking down the villain.

Heck, why don't we just cut to the chase and use this: http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html

I've seen it used in many an RP anyway, and many of these apply to anime as well as RPGs...

They updated it? Cool.

so yeah...nice tangent. In case it matters, my spells are all DnD derivatives with new names, basically. I'll throw in one more a la Holy Smite when I have time.
