Religions

There are two different religions throughout the world: Ludianism and Topisism.

Topisishm is the worship of one god, Topi. A brand new religion was created somewhere between the year 125-127, the exact year unknown. Led by clergy of women and men alike, this religion quickly spread throughout the continent. Currently, this is the main religion many worships - overpowering Ludianism. The holy texts and verses are written in the new language, Ukruri.

Ludianism also called the Old Religion, worships 12 Gods and Goddesses. This religion existed for eras and is still here to this day. Now it's dwindling to ashes, many forgetting the worship and practices of this religion. Little people are struggling to keep this religion alive due to Topisism taking over the world. All scripters and verses are written in the old language, Ibesh.

Languages:

Ibesh, the old language that is still kicking to this day, but very few speak and understand this language. In case you were wondering what it sounds like, it has the quality Latin language.

Ukruri, the language was discovered in the year 135BC, but it wasn't as popular. As the years go by, this became popular and the main spoken language. Everything you see now would be in this language, so prepare your ancient brain for the confusion.

Ikloni, the language the natives speak, but only a few can interpret it.

The 12 Deities

╙┈♔◦☓◦☙◦♔◦☙◦☓◦♔┈╜

Cieus
The God of destiny, fate, accomplishment, and failure. He takes the form of a handsome man with eyes of gold. Those who worship him are called Fate-Walkers and his followers are named Fate-Weavers. Cieus works with Xiarae and Azaos. Sworn rival of Okohr; even their followers clash with each other.

Xiarae
The Lady of Death and Queen of the Underworld; goddess of funerals, death, souls, and extermination. She has two faces: one of a skull and the other of a human. Xiarae may be beautiful, but her personality is not. She works alongside Cieus, her half-brother.

Okohr
God of war, vengeance, destruction, and chivalry. Unlike the other deities, he's a demon - a chimera demon, to be exact. Father of all chimeras and the husband of Xiarae. He has a rivalry with his half-brother-in-law, and their rivalry has lasted for centuries.

Hames
The God of parties, wine, tricks, and freedom. The youngest of the 12 deities, making him more childish and less responsible. Taking the appearance of a boy, but can shift into an imp whenever he feels like it. All the gods are neutral with him, and they agree that he can be quite annoying. Hames is the lover of Nena, the two producing offspring.

Amera
Goddess of hunting, animals, nature, and adventures. Never hunt for pleasure or gain, or else you'll suffer her wrath. She's very protective of her animal children (loving them more than anything) but doesn't mind if mortals hunt animals for personal needs. She takes on the form of a white falcon with blue eyes - she never uses a human form unless needed.

Azaos
God of messages, riddles, dreams, and wind. He's the Father of Oracles, handpicking virgin women to have the power to see into one's future. Father of the Ladies of Fate: Xutia, Tedia, and Kastia. His daughters work with the Lady of Death - never anger them, or you'll get death's punishment.

Eher
God/Goddess of shelter, marriage, love, and family. Their actual gender is unknown, with some saying Eher is a man, and some saying they're a woman. They're neutral with most of the gods - having no alliances or enemies with them. However, disliking Okohr for war tearing families apart, and Xiarae over death killing off loved ones.

Nena
Goddess of hatred, curses, the dark, and secrecy. She's enemies with most gods and goddesses but remains neutral with Eher due to them keeping to themselves and Hames, with ancient stories saying that they're lovers. It's said that she has children, but she never says who (for the fun of it all). She has a friendly rivalry with Okohr - the two enjoying a bit of chaos.

Olo
The God of law, order, wisdom, and judgment. The King of the 12, the oldest out of everyone. He was very popular within the Ludianism religion, but as time goes on, his name started to be forgotten. His rivals are the gods and goddesses that bring chaos to the mortal and godly realm and allies to those that help benefit both realms.

Camla
Lady of the Seasons and loved by all mortals alike. She's the goddess of seasons, agriculture, fertility, and abundance. Camla is a close friend and ally with Amera, with a small number of stories saying that they're lovers. She hates Okohr with a passion, but she hates Nena more - who doesn't love sibling rivalries?

Xivra
Goddess of medicine, miracles, resistance, and birth. To those that want to become a healer/doctor, she's the main one that they worship. She's allied with the gods and goddesses that bring peace to the world and hates those that try to bring chaos. Xivra is the wife of Olo, making her the Queen of the 12.

Isin and Ikeda
God and Goddess of day and night, time, stars, music. Isin is the God of the moon, with his twin sister being the Goddess of the Sun. The two go hand-in-hand to keep the world in the day and night cycle - with the mortals considered to be one complete god instead of separate ones. They're the main children of Olo and Xivra, aiding both parents whenever needed.

Grand-Knight 0/1

The leader of the group of knights and are in charge of issuing commands to those beneath them. Age doesn't matter, but the experience and expertise one has.

Senior-Knights 2/4

Knights that have learned and trained in what needs to become a knight. Their the 3rd ranked in the group and treated with respect by the recruits. Normally, recruits would go to these knights for advice or aid them on missions. They're not as strong as those above them, but that doesn't mean they should be taken lightly.

The Griffins

╙┈♔◦☓◦☙◦♔◦☙◦☓◦♔┈╜

Each knight had a griffin, but they got slaughtered by the mysterious group of soldiers. With the resurrection of their riders, they too were brought back from the dead to aid them once more. Like their masters, they created a pecking order amongst themselves.

Name: Gavin Matthias Carline

Nicknames (optional): none for now

Code Name: Legion

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Rank: Senior-Knight

Wanted Rank: Content

Where your loyalty is towards now?:

Gavin trusts his fellow knights who entered the black mist with him. Despite the code that he swore to keep, he lost all confidence in his country during the experimenting. They told him that they’d be able to serve better, but the pain of the experiments was a sign of betrayal to a him, a knight who was only faithful. But he wholeheartedly trusts his squad, especially since they battled through the horrid experiences together. Plus, a country can change a lot in a hundred years.

Appearance:

Gavin stands at five feet and ten inches. He has a lanky, long build to him, but he does have some (but limited) meat on those bones. He is built broader in his shoulders with just slightly smaller hips, making his torso a weird trapezoidal shape. His arms and legs are wiry and scrawny looking, but this man will give you a run for your money.

He owns a long, lean, oval face, covered with small freckles—especially on his nose. These were not genetic, however, but rather from spending too much time in the sun. His jawbones are not defined but are not hidden completely away with fat and skin. Rather, he is in the middle. He has downturned eyes which gives him a wistful or faraway look about him at first glance. However, you can see all sorts of emotion spring behind his dark, deep coffee-brown eyes. He is very expressive and his light haired, thin eyebrows will do jumping jacks all up and down his forehead. He has deep, rich, honey-colored hair, but not the light summery shade, rather the dim, thick, slightly mahogany coloring. Or in other words, he has dark brown hair that has a slight warm color to it. His unruly, wavy hair hangs down to about his chin which sometimes gives him a similar look to the Irish Setter, especially with his long, yet rounded nose. He keeps it, however, in a ponytail.

He has several scars, but only one on his face. This was his first scar during an unsupervised dual set up by the other squires of his class. It was him versus a boy who had teased him about his family’s background and history. While he received a single scar running from the top of the right side of his forehead, down to his temple, the other boy returned to his dorm covered in cuts and bruises. Other scars are from battle, a notable one is an ugly scar running down his left calf leg. He also has scars from the experimentation. Small puncture marks are on his arms, but they can only be defined correctly by studious about of staring. They seem like odd freckles or tattoos instead. He also has a small cut on each arm, almost symmetrical, from when they drew blood.

Personality:

•Unforgiving •Protective •Murderous •Quick-tempered •Impatient •Nurturing •Sacrificial •Expressive •Musical •Emotional •Prideful

Gavin holds grudges and will rarely forgive an enemy. He despises betrayers and cowards and will not try his best not to associate himself among them. He is protective of his family which is now his squad given that his family is now dead. He will defend them with a fiery passion and will kill the offenders unless stopped. He can be quick-tempered and will try to hold some form of patience and kindness for the annoying person’s sake. He doesn’t like people who drag out stories or stutter constantly. Just get to the point already! He will participate in some small talk, but not excessive. He doesn’t like it when people skip around subjects, just keep with one and we’ll talk about it for a while.

Despite his outer appearance and no-nonsense personality, he is an old softie for creatures. He has a nurturing heart for when they are helpless and will do all he can in his power to help them. He has cared intently to different animals of all kinds; most of his experience is in farm animals, however. While he has little patience for people, he has more for critters. He will raise his voice when one won’t come to him when he means to help them, but will instantly soften his voice and apologize. He will take the time to train them and has dedicated a good portion of his life to them. He prefers their company over man’s because he’s both an introvert and they don’t judge you cruelly. Because equine were present during the battle of the black fog, he is a bit nervous and cautious of them now.

He is very loving towards his family. His love language is quality time and gifts. He will tend to them carefully and this is where you will see him the most lively. As his trust will be gained more in the squad, more of his teasing nature will pop out. He will still be hot-headed and his protectiveness strengthens. This carries on to sacrifice for them. When he gets betrayed, it burns like a branding iron pressed on tender skin because to be betrayed means that you had to have trust first. And with trust is a portion of love. He can’t control who he loves no matter how hard he tried in the past, so he doesn’t distance himself as he used to. He’s learned that it doesn’t work like that, so he doesn’t bother with it anymore. If it’s broke, fix it.

He is actually very musical and he can carry out a decent tune. He has a fine baritone voice that he used to sing soft lullabies to his children before the war. He’s also been known to play some simple songs on a gittern. He is expressive and emotional. Sometimes his emotions take over and he does things he later regrets, but he tries to make sure he doesn’t live with it. You can’t life in the present if you live in the past. A less talk and more action type of guy.

Gavin found the experimentations a betrayal because of the pain. (I imagined the experiments being kind of dystopian-styled.) He hated the way he was treated and he was prodded around like a sick hamster, kind of a pride issue here. He didn't like how he was treated afterwards. He was a senior-knight and was treated like a child learning how to read and write--being taught by people who didn't know what to do or how to help either.

Griffin's Name: Beckett (nicknamed “Beck”)

Weapon(s):

Takedown Recurve Bow: Gavin prefers a distance weapon, that way he can’t see the life drain out of a person. He doesn’t like crossbows because they are ungraceful. The small, portable, pistol crossbows require a too-close range for a comfortable shot. Instead he uses a takedown recurve bow. It’s more portable than a longbow and he isn’t trained in how to use a horsebow. The limbs are strong enough for him to be standing 80 meters away and hit his target. He’s a good shot and pulls 70 lb.

Bastard Sword: However, he does need a melee weapon and so he also wields a bastard sword. This weapon is a one and a half sword. It can be used by one hand, but it takes special training and Gavin didn’t enroll in that. He uses it with two hands. It is mainly used for cutting and slicing. He doesn’t like to use it because it is messy, but it does the job and keeps him alive.

Two Knives: He has two concealed knives that he rarely uses. It is only there as a last resort.

Family (optional):

Everyone is dead because we are now 100 years in the future. Below is just their status before the black fog.

Father: Gawain Harper Carline (alive)-age 67

Mother: Serina Kaitlyn Carline (alive)-age 63

Older Brother: Charles Dean Carline (alive)-age 40

Sister: Winifred Ann Carline (alive)-age 36

Younger Brother: Trenton Randolf Carline (deceased)—died in war as a soldier on the front lines—age 30

Wife: Emily Winter Carline (deceased)—died during childbirth—age 27

Oldest child: Fauna Belle Carline (alive)—age 9

Younger child: Jasper Saul Carline (alive)—age 6

Allies: So far, only his squad

Enemies: He holds a stiff grudge to the Caimid Empire and he is now always biased of horses, swearing that they are all Kelpies. He also remembers The Abyssal Riders quite well.

Affiliations: Leavalon Empire

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Significant Other: Open!

Likes:

Animals, the outdoors, quiet, fire, super soft things, music

Dislikes:

When people skip around subjects and drag on long stories, Magic (it’s too unpredictable), war, needles, the cold, blood

Strengths:

Accuracy: as said before, his accuracy is wonderful. Part of it is because he’s a natural and another is from practice.

Speed: he is fairly fast on his feet and he has an average amount of stamina to compliment this trait.

Loyal: when you become part of his family, he will die for you

Weaknesses:

Strength: he has back muscle for sure, but he doesn’t have a ton of bicep or size. He is a wiry figure who is surprisingly strong.

Easily Angered: because of it, he’s been known to nearly kill someone. He almost got kicked out of training because of the dual he had as a squire.

Impatient: he has little patience for humans and he tolerates little. He can come off as harsh and cold because he snaps.

Powers (Up to 5):

Theme: Putting things together/making things

Ranking: 0 is the weakest, 5 is the strongest

Recreation: Rank 4: He can reform a broken object to something similar to what it once was. It is not identical, but close. If you shattered your sword he could mend it. Broken glass? Fixed.

Healing: Rank 3: He can mend broken bones, cuts and stab wounds. He cannot help someone who has cancer or needs a heart transplant. He can’t help organs, diseases or some unique issue (like hemophilia). He can’t just change genes nor create things out of the blue.

Telekinesis: Rank 2: He can’t pick up big heavy things like mountains or homes. He can barely pick up a 160 lb man. It is useful to take your opponent’s sword. He can only use it to move one thing at a time, however.

Rock Sculpting: Rank 5: He can shape rocks into different figures and he can carve them decently. Arrowheads? He can make them out of any type of rock no matter the material. Need to camp somewhere for the night? That big mountainside over there can provide some shelter.

Bio (optional):

Carlines were always some form of little nobility. They weren’t big dogs, but they were better than middle class. They had comforts and leisure and their sons would all train as knights. They did originate as cheats and liars who first fooled people into believing that they were rich. Then they actually became rich from stealing and by tricking. Eventually they did straighten out, but the dark past haunts the family name.

Gavin started training as a squire from the age of ten. Before that, he spent his time playing with the farm animals that lived on his property. He tried his best to save a cat who had gotten mauled by dogs. Unfortunately it didn’t work. He spent time with the horses and trained one to rise up onto its hind legs on command. He kept a blind chicken alive for four years (it died of old age) and tended to a calf whose mother had abandoned it. It survived.

He was known among his peers as a hot-head and also a cry baby because he had a hard time keeping his emotions in check. However, after he dueled one of the more popular boys, as he had insulted the Carline name, he gained more respect. He also gained a steady eye from all the teachers and he had almost been expelled. The other peers gave him space. This happened at age 14.

He was 19 when he met his wife, Emily Winter. She was a little higher in class and status and was 18 at the time. She came down to see her younger brother sparring and Gavin was desperate to impress a pretty girl, so he challenged the most senior knight for a dual to the blood. Gavin got the scar on his calf from that, but he had caught her attention. After the medic took care of him, they talked a bit then again later on that week. Soon these talks became more frequent and a year later they were wed.

She didn’t make it past 26 years old due to their second child’s difficult birth. The child survived and was taken cared of by a nanny. When the war started, Gavin sent his children to their Aunt Winifred. He never saw them again, but after the experiment he was able to send them each a stone sculpture of a griffon.

Other: Just curious, how long do griffons live?
