Story:It's been twenty years since the destruction of The Hellfire. The shards of the soul edge have vanished off the face of the Earth. And the warriors that once stood against the forces of Evil are no more than lengend now. And true heroes have been scarce.

But true heroes isn't all that the world will need.

Recently a merchant in the streets of Spain, noticed a man, clad in armor. The very ground shook beneath his metal covered feet. The man stumbled into the market streets.Merchants, peasants, and shoppers alike stopped and drew their gaze towards the man. They were all horriefied to see the man engulfed in flames. They all covered their ears as the man let out an inhuman scream. Soon the armor began to crumble inward, as if under pressure. As the seemingly empty armor imploded, a wave of dark energy swept the market.

The skies darkened throughout the world. And from the mave was sent a single ember that soared across the landscape of the nations, to a dark place. The ember inbedded itself into a mound of dirt that rest in front of a wooden pike. From the grave burst an arm, a creature like arm. Soon the creature freed istelf from the grave. It stood, as the once feared warrior Nightmare.

Acroosed the world this darkness was felt. Warriors across the lands sensed a great evil.

As Nightmare gazed down at his armor clad body, he knew he was still not whole. "SOULS..." cried out the creature. Nightmare knew in oreder to reclaim his body, his former humanity,and his sword SOULD EDGE he would need to be reunited with his soul. But for every gain there must be equal loss.

Nightmare now travels the lands, accquiring souls. He recently left Dunland, leaving the villages and towns in utter carnage. All life that once stood, now perished at Nightmare's command.

100,000 souls. That was the price put on his soul before Nightmare was reduced to ancient ruins.

As he begins his quest, warriors from across the lands recieve the task, to stop Nightmare, however not all choose the side of good. Some wish for the sould edge to be theirs, some wish to aid Nightmare to reep the benefits of his powers.

Regardless of the sides, one thing is apparent... the world faces it's end if nightmare is returned to his true self.

NP edit: Clearly you did not take note of my previous comments regarding your other RPG. The first post is marginally better (good job), but subsequent posts are making me cringe. I like to think people have pretty free reign in this forum with regards to RPG content and format, but the constant 'net-speak is something I simply cannot abide. Please, please take some pointers from the other GMs in this forum and make games/posts that are both creative & high quality. We have a variety of resources in the Role Playing Resource Forum should you require help.

here are the finer points of the game

As you travel, you gain weapons and supplies.
Earn gold for various reasons.
You will encounter other warriors along the way
the fights would be written out and talked through
if u want an example check out some lightsaber fights on the RPF

I'll be controlling the character of Nightmare, unless somebody wants to take control of him. If you do, you're kinda like the dungeon master.

No god modding, no killing other characters unless they are in agreement.
everybody pm me the CS before posting...

thats it for now

Date Posted: 7/31/07 7:28pm Subject: RE: Soul Calibur: Blades of Destiny
Name: Kilik
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Homeland: Ling Sheng Su Temple, China
Motive: Purify himself, his weapon, and destroy soul edge.
Weapon/fightign style: Bo Staff Kali-Yuga
Special skills: Purification
Bio: Origins

Kilik was found as a baby on the doorstep of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple, widely considered to be the greatest martial arts school in China. After the monks of the temple gave up their search for the child's parents, they decided to raise him as an orphan. Eventually, he was regarded as the temple's finest student and was hired as one of the school's teachers, eventually leading him to be the elected candidate for inheritor of the holy bo staff, Kali-Yuga, one of the three sacred treasures of the temple. However, he had always remained somewhat troubled and insomniac.

[edit] The Kali-Yuga and the Evil Seed

One night, his "sworn sister", Xianglian, visited him as he was deep in thought, and revealed that she had become elected for inheritor of the holy mirror Dvapara-Yuga. But she also divulged the details of a conversation she had overheard; that only two of the treasures still existed at the temple, because the Krita-Yuga had been stolen years ago by her biological father and that the monks had been hiding this the entire time. She had been nominated for the Dvapara-Yuga instead, because she had told the master of the temple that she felt unworthy to inherit the Krita-Yuga, considering her family history, and her selfless reflection was a prominent feature of her inheritance of Dvapara-Yuga.

However, the night before the succession ceremony, the Evil Seed rained down on the temple, and an evil presence overwhelmed the inhabitants. Sensing the evil, the monks who were preparing for the ceremony immediately transferred ownership of the holy artifacts to Kilik and Xianglian. Minutes later, everyone in the temple lost their sanity except Xianglian. With madness combined with his great skills, Kilik killed many temple members as everyone fought one-another. Xianglian realized the power of the mirror and slung it around Kilik's shoulder, causing him to regain his sanity as she lost hers. When Kilik had completely regained his senses, he realized that the monks had slaughtered each other. He tried to leave, but the only other known survivor, Xianglian, blocked his way, now totally corrupted by the Evil Seed, and attacked him. He tried to avoid hurting her, but was forced to kill her in self-defense.

An old man, the Edge Master--advisor and teacher of the Ling-Sheng Su martial arts--found Kilik's unconscious body in the temple. He set the corrupted temple on fire and carried Kilik home. After two days, Kilik finally awoke, and Edge Master told him the truth: Kilik and Kali-Yuga had been infected with the Evil Seed, the source of which was the demonic sword, Soul Edge. The only thing protecting his sanity was the Dvapara-Yuga, and he could never remove the holy mirror from his shoulder at any time. Wrought with grief that his life had come at the sacrifice of Xianglian's, Kilik trained with Edge Master for three years, trying to learn to control the evil within himself and Kali-Yuga. Once his training was complete, Edge Master gave him the final test of destroying the Soul Edge, and Kilik embarked on that quest to purify himself and his weapon.

Soul Calibur

On his journey, Kilik traveled to an Indian port town to request a pirate ship to take him where he wanted to go. He met the Japanese pirate of the Ryūkyū Kingdom, Kyam, who instantly took a liking to him, and granted Kilik's request for boarding, provided the ship's captain, Maxi, agreed when he returned. As Kilik waited for Maxi, a mysterious ship approached, which resulted in an attack, led by Astaroth. Maxi returned, and Kilik assisted him in the attack, but every member of Maxi's crew was left dead, and Maxi decided to aid Kilik in his quest. Later, the two met Chai Xianghua, a member of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard, who aided them in their travels. (Although neither Kilik nor Xianghua knew that Xianglian was her long-lost sister.) With Maxi and Xianghua's help, Kilik stormed Ostrheinsburg Castle and defeated Nightmare, although Maxi was thought to be killed and the Dvapara-Yuga was destroyed.

After Nightmare's defeat, Xianghua and Kilik were challenged by the demonic entity, Inferno within a demonic void. Kilik was too weak to fight, so Xianghua fought in his stead. During the battle, her keepsake tai chi jian transformed into the holy sword, Soul Calibur, allowing her to defeat Inferno. In the end, however, she was forced to leave the sword behind in order to drag Kilik to safety as the void collapsed.

Soul Calibur II

Afterwards, Kilik returned alone to Edge Master's hermitage, continuing to perfect the technique of neutralizing and purifying evil energy. Four years later, he sensed the return of Soul Edge, and set out on another journey to defeat Soul Edge once and for all, so that he could atone for the sins he committed the night of the fateful Evil Seed. Along the way, he encountered Xianghua again. They argued over their difference of opinions (namely, they both argued that it was their duty to destroy Soul Edge this time), but they still travelled together in the end.

Soul Calibur III

While purifying a town infected with evil, the two encountered Zasalamel. Kilik engaged Zasalamel in battle, but lost. Before he lost consciousness, Kilik heard Zasalamel tell him that if he challenged Soul Edge unprepared, he would be trapped in its dark abyss. He awoke a month later in Edge Master's hermitage, carried there by Xianghua. Sensing a terrible energy within his wounds, Edge Master had performed a special ritual to treat them. Kilik realized that he would not be able to seal Soul Edge with his current strength. Thinking to himself, he placed his hand on his chest and realized that the fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga was gone.

Edge Master then ordered Kilik to begin training. He surrounded himself in a dark aura, similar to a person affected by the Evil Seed. Armed with only the Kali-Yuga, Kilik realized that his target should be the evil energy within Edge Master. Within three months, Kilik managed to strike Edge Master with a purifying blow, enough to free his teacher's mind, but at the same time, seriously injuring him.

Edge Master told Kilik that even though he still lacked skill, and that a pure spirit strikes only at evil without harming the body, he noted that Kilik had made good progress in a short time. He handed Kilik another fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga and a letter from Xianghua. She wrote that she would improve on her skills and regain her courage, and she believed that together, they would be able to destroy Soul Edge. With these words, Kilik set out west to once again pursue the evil.

OOC:btw i forgot to add "Appearance" to the CS





Name: Keden
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Homeland: Hyrule
Appearance: About five eihgt, young, light brown hair. Dressed in a black tunic, with chain mail leggings, carrying a sword around his back.
Motive: Destroy soul edge, free the soul of his serrogate father and save hyrule
Weapon/fighting style: Master sword / fencing, swordplay
Special skills: Horseman/ Horse is named Erage
Bio:

Keden was an orfan. He found himself as a mere child, abandoned at the gates of the Hyrule castel. For days he slept at the foot of the castle's entry. He often was kept awake by the sound of a horse, frequently passing through the great hyrule plains.

One day howver, a gaurd noticed Keden standing alone by the walls of the castle. The gaurd was curious and asked for the boys name. Afraid, Keden did not asnwer. The gaurd asked again, and began to approach the young Keden.
Soon Keden spoke, explaining he knows very little about why he's here at the castle, saying his parents never came home from the feilds. He was brought by his aunt for safe keeping according to her.

"Safe! These plain are anything but, Skullkas, no to mention that brat always trotting around at all hours" the Gaurd said laughingly.

Keden stood speechless.

"Come, you may stay in my cabin, it's not much, but it's better than the castel walls" the gaurd added.

Over time the gaurd became like a father to Keden. Keden was young, and doesn't rememeber much about his parents. The gaurd became the only family he had. And over time the guard taught Keden how to fight, soon enough Keden was a strong boy and a feirce swordsmen. ANd all seemed peaceful. Until a nightmare struck Hyrule.

When Keden was 16, a man, clad in armor entered the castle. He claimed to be a messenger from the lands of Europe.When the man arrived most feared it to be Gannondorf. However, Gannon was nothing compared to this evil. Within a year, Hyrule became engulfed in terror and darkness. And all were in despair.
The demon ow resides in the castle, holding Princess Zelda and the royal family as prisoners.

However when all seemeed hopeless a young warrior arrived. Brave and strong the warrior battled the demonic terror that struck Hyrule. However the young warriro was not able to destroy the creature. And once nothing stood his his way, the demon destroyed the entire castle. Keden escaped, only to find that gaurd who had been like a father to him, lay motionless in the gasp of Nightmare. The evil creature absorbed the gaurd's soul and disposed of the lifeless corpse, in a pyre that was once Hyrule's Temple steps. And just as easily as he came, Nightmare vanished.

Keden ran quickly to the temple stairs, to quickly remove the gaurd's body from the pile. He began to weep, however as he raised his head to the doors of the temple he saw a light. He noticed the doors we open. He walked nerveously to the great doors of the temple. As he entered, he saw on the alter the warrior who fought Nightmare, he was curled up. His lifeless body seemed to be shielding something. It was a sword, a sword stuck in stone.

Keden then appraoched, he instinctively grasped the sword, with one tug, the sword sprung from the stone. He held it, the swrod was light and strong. He knew whathe must do.

He's spent the last four monhs tracking Nightmare on Horseback with his Horse Erage. Determined to restored Hyrule and free his father's soul.

Date Posted: 8/1/07 1:06pm Subject: RE: Soul Calibur: Blades of Destiny
Name: Xianghua
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Homeland: Ling-Sheng Su Temple, China
Motive: Find her purpose, and live up to her mothers last words
Weapon/fightign style: Krita-Yuga
Special skills: Minipulating others without their knowledge
Bio: Family history
Xianghua's ancestors, the Chai family, have groomed men and women alike into seasoned warriors of China for many generations. The woman who would become Xianghua's mother, Xiangfei, was sent to the prestigious Ling-Sheng Su Temple to learn the art of swordplay. She diligently trained and became supremely skilled with the tai chi jian, surpassing many of the monks at the temple. Following her father's passing, Xiangfei forged a forbidden romance with a monk at the temple, Kong Xiuqiang, thought to be the most prominent candidate for inheritor of the holy bo staff, Kali-Yuga. Not until the illegitimate birth of their first daughter, Xianglian, was their love made known to the other monks. The monks remained very strict regarding the temple's edicts and Xianglian was taken from her parents on her second birthday. Xiangfei became too wrought with grief to remain at the temple. Han Dongxiu, a sworn brother of both Xiuqiang and Xiangfei, urged Xiuqiang to leave with her and start a family with his lover, but Xiuqiang refused, and Xiangfei agreed that it was for the best. But as a final goodbye, Dongxiu helped Xiuqiang sneak the Krita-Yuga to his lover, to serve as a promise the two would one day meet again.


[edit] Xianghua's birth and childhood
Unknown to Xiuqiang, however, was that when Xiangfei had left the temple, she was pregnant with a second child. She secretly returned to her homeland, was taken in by the Chai home there, and became a soldier in the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard. Months later, she gave birth to her second daughter, Xianghua, but never revealed anything about the girl's father or his lineage to her. By this time, the temple had realized that the Krita-Yuga was missing, and found that Xiuqiang had stolen it. He was exiled from the temple, but Xianglian was to remain there to be trained as an orphan. Xiuqiang eventually discovered Xiangfei's whereabouts, but the Chai family asked him to leave her alone, as she believed that he was training and she would be happier in her ignorance. Meanwhile, when monks from the Temple came to Xianglian, searching for the missing sword, all they found was young Xianghua playing with a battered tai chi jian, and they gave up the search years later. Only Xiuqiang had known that the jian Xianghua had been holding was actually the Krita-Yuga in disguise. As time passed, Xianghua had learned to use the jian just as well as her mother when Xiangfei died sometime after Xianghua's tenth birthday. Six years afterward, Xianghua became a member of the Imperial Guard.


[edit] Soul Calibur
Eventually, the emperor of Ming Dynasty China had become displeased with the search for the "Hero's Sword"; he never heard back from any that had ventured out, including Li Long. He sent members of his Imperial Guard to help the quest advance more quickly. The guards traveled under the guise of a traveling opera troupe, with Xianghua to be the main attraction, so as not to raise suspicion of their true motives. As she prepared for her journey, she recalled her mother's dying words--that she was born to complete an important task and that she must cut her own path through an uncertain future. With her mother's keepsake tai chi jian, Xianghua left on her own. On her journey, she encountered a member of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple in China, Kilik, and a Japanese pirate of the Ryûkyû Kingdom, Maxi. Told of the Soul Edge's evil nature by Kilik, she agreed to aid both of them in their journey to destroy the evil blade, not knowing all the while that her long-lost older sister, Xianglian, had been killed by Kilik as she had been consumed by a berserker rage on the night of the notorious Evil Seed.

With Kilik and Maxi's help(mostly herself), Xianghua stormed Ostrheinsburg Castle. Maxi stayed behind and defeated the castle's guard, Astaroth, and disappeared soon after. Kilik and Xianghua together slayed the enemy hordes and reached Nightmare. Kilik used his holy bo staff Kali-Yuga to defeat the azure knight, but immediately afterward, the combatants were pulled into an ethereal void where they stood opposed to Inferno. His prior battle had left Kilik too weary to fight. As Xianghua readied herself, her mother's keepsake unveiled itself as the holy sword, Soul Calibur. After a fierce struggle, Xianghua defeated her opponent with Soul Calibur's protective power. As the void started to collapse, she carried Kilik out of it, though her mother keepsake's sword was left behind.


[edit] Soul Calibur II
After destroying the sword she was sent to find, a mysterious man approached her and awarded her with an unnamed jian in return for the great deed she had done. Once she returned, Xianghua fell in disfavor with the Emperor because of her failure to find Soul Edge. She was stripped of her rank and reassigned to a menial position. Xianghua kept her role in Soul Edge's destruction secret and never reported it. Four years later, news reached her that the emperor had attacked Xiwei (present-day Xi'an), which had been the center of government in the Ming Dynasty's western territory. The emperor believed that the fortress had been withholding Soul Edge from him, and when the fortress guards killed his envoy in annoyance of his blind obstinancy, he ordered that the city be summarily destroyed and all the citizens executed, under the public justification of a revolt. When the castle fell and the sword was not found, the emperor summoned Xianghua in his stupor and asked her to investigate the ruins, as her experience could be useful in locating the sword among the rubble. Xianghua found out the truth behind the attack from Ming spies. Though she believed that she had destroyed Soul Edge, her investigation proved otherwise, and pieces of it were rumored to exist in this place. If this story had been true, Xianghua needed to find every fragment and destroy them. She left on a second journey alone, convinced that this was a burden she had to bear, since she failed to destroy Soul Edge completely the first time.


[edit] Soul Calibur III
During her adventure, Xianghua was once again reunited with her companion, Kilik. While on their journey, the two of ran afoul of a "man with a scythe" (Zasalamel), who wished to eliminate people who had the potential to destroy Soul Edge. Zasalamel attacked and defeated Kilik. Afterwards, Xianghua took the gravely injured Kilik back to Edge Master's home, where she heard that Kilik would make full recovery. After leaving a letter for Kilik, she departed, seeking an old general whom Edge Master had arranged for her to meet. Training with the old general, Xianghua's skills improved significantly. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy due to her failure to help Kilik. She told herself, "Don't Be Afraid!!!" in meager attempts to convince herself. The old general noticed her anxiety and provided sage advice:

"Sometimes, the path of the warrior requires letting in dark feelings, weighing them, then letting them go."

Xianghua then began to train her mind. Rather than becoming weak, she would be more fluid and allow her heart to filter in both the good and the bad. After months of training, she felt that she was ready and bid farewell to the general, beginning her journey anew. So she left the temple to fight by herself.
