Xenozal - A World in Crisis{OOC}

[Knell]

{This world takes place in the Post-Future, only small remnants of technology remain. The most advanced being a handgun, but you could always enchant it with magic and make it cooler.}


Long ago in the realm that is known as Xenozal, there ruled a fearsome warlord by the name of Blade Soulheart. There was no one who could oppose him, and he knew he was invincible.

From the Great Hendorn Mountains to the Forests of Zender, his influence was felt.

That is, until one day when a warrior known only as the Phoenix Swordsman appeared. He was able to end the reign of the man known as Blade, sealing him away in a great crystal underground. But Blade was too strong for it and he split his soul into three parts. The Soul, Heart and Blade Fragments. They would subjugate the countryside and try to raise enough energy to revive their great leader once again, and just when he was needed the most, the Phoenix Swordsman vanished.

Thousands of years passed, and the world is locked in a state of constant war. The Fragments versus various other fractions.

That was when a group of warriors appeared, in an attempt to quell the chaos. They were on a race against time...because the revival of Blade Soulheart was close at hand.

Now you will decide, which path will you take? The path of the hero? The Villain? Or a path isn't bound to any side at all?

The adventure begins here.


Create your Warrior!

While she does hold the mysterious part down, she is more down to earth. She often smokes with her pipe or drinks sake and is will criticize a person on things. She acts whimsical and often quotes riddles. Anything that could be added is the fact she changes outlooks on situations: While down to earth in most normal social situations, in battle and important events, she's strategic, serious, deadly, maybe even a bit malicious when it comes to punishment. 

Don't brag about achievements and such to her because she'll ignore you and even criticize.

[Knell]

~Basic~
Name: River D. Scarlett
Age: 23{Perhaps far older}
Sex: Male
Personality: River is a bit of jokester, and is a very light hearted individual, never holding any personal grudges and being a good friend to a lot of people. When he's handed a job, expect him to finish it without delay, he takes his job as a deity very seriously. If you dare to harm any part of nature, he will destroy you, so watch out, even the kind hearted nature boy can unleash some serious whoop ass if you tread on the grass. He stands firmly against the Fragments, and will stop them at any cost from reviving Blade Soulheart. As for his views toward the other factions, as long as they aren't harming innocents or plant life, he doesn't really care.

Race: Dusios{Spirit/Deity of Nature}


~Appearance~
Picture:

SPOILER: Click to show

Height: 6'3
Weight: 210 LBS


~Combat~

Weapon:

Rose Whip: River can transform the rose he normally carries with him into a whip, allowing him to attack his enemies at an incredibly fast pace.
Buster Blade: River also carries a very large buster blade with him that he wields with one hand. He can swing it incredibly fast, allowing him to cut down many enemies at once.

Abilities:

Nature Energy: Coming with his race, River has a passive control over Nature Energy, of all the plant life and nature itself. Because of this, he can become far more powerful than one normally would think he could.
Whirlwind Windup: Channeling the power of Nature, River creates a whirlwind of air around his body, giving him enhanced defense and offense.
Enhanced Poison Endurance: Due to his relationship with Nature, River knows many poisons and antidotes, so if he were to be poisoned, it is likely that he already has the antibody within himself. It is possible to bypass this, but it won't take him long to overcome it.
Vulcan Shock Cannon: Charging the particles of nature energy around himself, River can fire a super condensed green blast of nature energy at his opponent, be it from his hands or elbows, he can also fire two at the same time. Should he choose to combine this with his wind powers, his next ability is revealed.
Vulcan Shock Ignition: Merging with his nature power, the wind ignites and becomes a torrent of green flame, causing the already powerful blast to become far more destructive. He rarely uses this ability because of the impact it could have on the surrounding area, but when he does, watch out.



~Stats~


Strength: Harnessing the power of nature energy, River can channel great physical strength. He can lift giant boulders with ease or even smash giant structures with little more than his own body.
Stamina: Again, harnessing the power of nature, River can enforce his body to such a degree that he could withstand a gigantic blast and emerge unscathed. He can fight for a long time without tiring, making him a very fearsome opponent.
Magic Power: He prefers to call it Nature Energy, which he seems to never run out of.
Speed & Reflexes: Utilizing the power of nature, he is able to use a technique called "Nature Step." Where he can travel between plant life within seconds, he can also glide on the wind as if he were nothing more but a feather, this ends with him being incredibly fast and agile.
