The Elder Gods (sign-up)
 

i've never tried this before so i thought i'd give it a shot and see what would happen. "The Elder Gods" is your basic destruction of super-natural beings by the use of a magical doo-hickey. The purpose is to get a group of adventurers together, find out just what they need to throw off the tirany of the ruling diety's, and banish them from this world. If you've ever read David Eddings (The Elenium and Temuli), then sweet, because that's the world it's in, except this time fantasy characters are accepted. Um....I don't know if this will get any takers, but if so, just post away with:

if i've left anything out let me know.

[edit]
alright, here's how thing's are going to work (if this isn't allowed, let me know or just delete this, cuz im going by the seat of my pants): The layout of the land is still the same, so are the customs and people. However Sparhawk, Martel, Sephrenia, and the rest don't exist. We still need to find the Bhelliom, which may or maynot be in the lake. For all we know, Ghwerig has it. Azash is still the evil elder god of Zemoch, but Otha doesn't exist any more. Since the title implies two, there's a new one called Da'shan in Rendor (no more heresy, they're all devil worshippers, yay!). All classes stated in the book are allowed (church knights, Domi, etc) and all fantasy chars (elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc) are allowed. Why? Because I want to be an elf dammit! Anyway, if you've read the books this will be a fun way to get yourself involved. If this goes well maybe people will be interested in doing another based of the Belgariad. Who knows? With that said, here's mine:

Name: Calie
Race: Half-elf
Class: Huntress
Appearance: 5'6, tilted eyes and a willowy body, and wears tunic, hose, soft boots, and a hunters cloak with the hood always up and a scarf around her mouth.
Weapons: Long bow but falls back on a dirk in tight quarters.
Skills: stealth, tracking, beast tounge, improved night vision, and an expert with long bow.
Bio: Since she was young, Calie had always felt a strange connection to nature. It wasn't until her 14th year did she notice that she was not developing like the other young girls in her village. That day her mother told her about her herritage and about the young elven man she met in the woods while bathing in a pool. Horrified that she wasn't completely human, Calie covered her face with a scarf and ran into the woods, taking with her an old hunter's cloak. From that day she had never taken either of them off. For 10 years she lived on her own in the forest, learning from the animals and living off the land. But now, her elvish side can feel a darkness growing and she is compelled to join humanity again.

With an intro like that, how can I NOT join up. I'll join, because you're going to need all the help you can get from veteran RPers.

Name: Samson Garuga
Race: Human
Class: Swordsman
Appearance: Short shaggy blonde hair, blue eyes. 6ft. tall, and lean muscular. Wears leather gloves and leather boots, and always wears a black cloak with a hood on it. Has a scabbard with a large sword on his left hip.
Weapons: A shortsword, several knives, and his sword-magic ability.
Specialized skills: He has two of them. One of them is that he can easily use any kind of sword, no matter what kind it is. Secondly, is that he can channel elements through his swords. For example, he can have his sword start on fire, and have a fire sword, or charge it with electricity, or make it freeze his opponent upon contact.
Bio: Samson was raised by his parents in a small village. His father was a swordsman, and his mother was a mage. Hence, his ability to use both swords and sword-based magic. When he got old enough, he went off and became a free-lance assassin. He'll do any kill, if you pay him enough.

(Normally, the profile includes the "Appearance" and the "Weapons the person carries".)

i figured for appearance wise people would bring it out when they first introduced their char (same as weapon pref.) but i guess its easier this way. going to class, be back around 12.

church knights allowed?

Meh, I guess I'll jump on board. (Pun not intended) And it sounds like Raidan's going to be a Magic Knight

Name: Sara Dresn
Race: Human
Class: Mercenary
Apperence: 5'9, short, red hair, blue eyes, usually has blue armor
Weapons: Halibard, short spear
Specialization: Aerial attacks
History: A surviver from a kingdom that was whiped out in a massive war, she now sells her services as a mercenary, but she still has her standards to uphold.

no dragoons in the elenium or tamuli.

So what would the closest thing be then? She could just be a fighter who prefers to use polearm-type weapons then.

Great, now my grades at school will tumble down.

Character name: Ansythesay
Race: elf (incase of no elven people use human here)
Class: scholar
Apparance: look next to the text at the avatar. Difference from that is as follows- wears robe, always has a bag of something along.
Specialized skill(s): She has a great knowlage of correct mathematics, engineering and grammatics.
Char Bio: Was born in Lamorkand. Studied in a university, but hardy got in. Now is considered a inventor. Owns a little workshop in her hometown. Personality is happy and curious.

Flarecobra: http://www.therpgportal.com/elenium/campaign.shtml has some information.

Name: Shafixshus

Race: Human

Class: Ninja

Appearance: Jet Black Ninja garb. He is a typical ninja. He has really short brown hair and a katana strapped to his back. His eyes change color to reflect his mood. Red = angry. green = tranquil. yellow = confused, etc.

Weapons: Ninjitsu, His katana, some ninja stars and a ninja rope. not to mention shadow magic.

Specialized skills: Stealth shadow magic, channeling this into the fighting.

Bio: Shafixshus (thats pronounced sha-fix-shush) is a very evil person. He worships an evil god, however, he thinks the deity isnt evil enough. Therefore, he wants to make a stand as a god of mischief and...weirdness. He figures if he kills a god, he'll become one.

Name: Rath L'lantin
Race: Human
Class: Rouge/Theif

Apperance: Tall, slim, and not nearly as in shape as he likes to think he is. He dresses in deep blues and greys, some times supplimented with earth tones. This is clearly a considered choise, as he does not want to stand out either in a croud or while pursuing his "trade". His hair is mousy brown, and he has an angular, if plain face.
Weapons light cross bow, rapier, throwing needles, general use knife.
Skills: Light fingers and Stealth. Appraisal and Athletics would come second. And of course more than a little ability at Bluffing
Bio: A traveler by nature and a theif by birth, the aquisition of treasure is only the means to paying for the next week's good time. Vindictive if crossed, he often finds that he has worn out his welcome, and travel becomes as much nessesity as pleasure.
