The Ethereal Plains

Welcome, my friends, to the Ethereal Plains. The very core of none other than this Ethereal Presence. In here you will find the personae I have taken on during my stay with FoG.

~~~

SHORT INTERVIEW WITH THE ETHEREAL PRESENCE

A: Yes. Before you question me if I am an "Anime" fan, I have already given my answer.

Q: *blank stare* Ehem! Moving on...

Q: How do you come up with a character?

A: My brain is messed up so everything that flows into it counts as "spur of the moment". I can never rest on one thought for so long. I often times just think of a name then follow suit from there.
*(Yeah something must be wrong with me. )

Q: How do you build your character then?

A: I am rather lazy when it comes to in-depth character building so I tend to keep things simple unless it is required to go in-depth, or in the most rarest of times, I would go the Extra Mile to flesh out more details about the character I'm working on. But most often than not, I would go for a simple character set-up and then build him/her up as I play the role. The number one rule I follow is to at least have every basic detail required to make a character. Name, Age, Gender, Bio, Personality. If I have all those, then it's a character.
*(Yes, I can play female roles but I personally think I suck at it.)

Q: What genres do you prefer to role play in?

A: I am a versatile "RPer" if you would allow me to say so myself. I can play in any genre as long as that certain RP has caught my interest. Mostly, my favored role play genres are always tied with fantasy.

Q: Do you have a--

A: No.

Q: Are you will--

A: No.

Q: Will you d--

A: That's it for questions! Now take a look around the Ethereal Plains for as long as you like. Have fun.

RP: Bloodlines
RP Status: Dead

Full Name: Zied Gray

Nickname: Zied

Age: 26

Appearance:



Mastery: Hand to Hand Combat

Sacred Artifact:

Items: 3 Sacred Cross. (keeps one hanged as a necklace) A pair of dice, a faded picture of a woman, a gold ring, pouch of coin, a small bible

Weapons: Metal knuckles hidden under his red leather gloves.

Species/Job: Human/Raven

Personality: An honest and content man. Zied lives life one day at a time. He believes that there is no point worrying about the future because for him, all there is to life is to do what you can while you can. He always had a smile on his face and is a cheerful and bright person with a heart of gold, until the woman she loved was murdered by stray New Breeds. This forever changed Zied into a distant and quiet man. Years after the tragedy, Zied became a ruthless Raven seeking vengeance against those who stole away his bethrothed. He however retained the heart of gold and an occasional smile escapes his lips once in a while.

Background: Hailing from the town of Freylon, Zied lived life as a jack of all trades. He would do any sort of job so long as it doesn't involve killing another human. Orphaned at an early age of 5, he struggled through his childhood trying to keep living an honest life. Instead of stealing, like the other street rats do, he would work hard for a day's meal. He was about the age of 12 when an old lady took pity upon him and decided to take him in. Little manners need to be taught to him for he is a kind hearted child. He got along well with the old lady and her grandchild Arnelle, who was about the same age as him.

At the age of 17, old age took its toll on Zied's foster grandmother. He and Arnelle were both orphaned when the old lady passed away. Vowing to take good care of Arnelle, Zied started working harder than he used to. Arnelle helped him out by taking on her grandmother's business, medicine mixing. A fact that kept themselves sheltered and well fed. Life was good for both of them. Their bond turned sweet when Arnelle made a silly joke about them living like a married couple. Little did she know that Zeid held her in his heart more than just his foster sister. Zied confessed his feelings to Arnelle and after a little bit of hesitation from the girl, both of them found themselves sharing a new bond.

Indeed life was sweet for them until they reached the age of 20. After a hard day's work, Zied stopped by one of the Jewelry stores to buy a pair of gold rings. He had planned to surprise Arnelle when she got back from gathering herbs for medicine mixing from a nearby field. But alas, nightfall came and Arnelle hasn't returned. Worried, Zied set out to look for her with some of his friends. All of them shattered to see the bloodied and gruesomely torn body of Arnelle hanged in one of the dead trees.

Zied couldn't scream, he couldn't cry. All he felt was an aching pain in both of his fists. After the burial, Zied shed a single tear and left the town of Freylon. He sought the location of The Nest and has lived there ever since.

RP: B.L.A.N.K.
RP Status: Unexpected Conclusion

Name: Matt Connor
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Upper class

Personality: Matt is a perfectionist. He hates things done crudely and without fashion. Systematic and organized, Matt can make even the most stressful work a cinch without even having to try hard. Clever in more ways than one, he is definitely a role model for aspiring young businessmen. A natural workaholic, he would at first glance, look to be the serious type and an "All work no play" kind of guy. This is proven wrong when he is off work. He loves to unwind and lets loose like there is no tomorrow. He works hard but parties harder.
He may seem to be well like by the people around him but in reality, he only has about a handful of friends he can trust. Not the type to be easily swindled, Matt knows how to choose between good friends and bad ones.

Bio: Born as the only son to Christopher and Julia Connor, Matt is the heir to Connor Pharmaceuticals, a company his father established long before he was born. Belonging to a rich family, Matt had lived a pampered life without coming to know any hardship whatsoever.

Upon reaching maturity, Matt decided it was time for him to learn of the outside world. What he came to see came as a shock to him. People dying of sickness, the wretched government system, everything was so messed up outside of his shell. Feeling as if he has the power to change things, Matt decided to work with his father in their pharmaceutical company. Having graduated from a distinguished med school, Matt proved to be a valuable asset to the company. Up until now, he has worked non stop with the goal of creating cheaper yet effective medicine that many of those unfortunate people can afford.

His actions that time did not fail to capture the eyes of an FRDM.F Officer who happens to have taken an interest in him and saves him from certain death.

Reported to have been "dead on arrival" after being rushed to the nearby medical facility, FRDM.F secretly transported him to their headquarters where he was modified to become a Z Generation human or Z-Gen.

Upon complete recovery, Alfrei was given a chance to join Swords, FRDM.F's elite task force where he continues to pay off his debt of "a new life" to Freedom Frontier.

RP Status: Dead

Name(s): Micrei (Fairy Tongue); Michael (Human Tongue)

Appearance:

Human Mode:



Fairy Mode:

Spoiler:

RP: Losing My Heart....
RP Status: Dead

Name: "Irvine"

Age: Hundreds of years old. (estimated)

Appearance:



Traits: Like any other vampire, Irvine is physically stronger than humans, faster than horses and more deadlier than wild beasts. The only trait that distinguishes Irvine from the rest of his kin is that he does not have the weaknesses others of his kind later on exhibited. He can walk in broad daylight and isn't wounded by silver or anything holy. His bite doesn't infect humans and can only turn them into his own kind if he were to give them his own blood.

Personality: Irvine is a refined vampire. Calm and collected, he rarely loses to emotions like anger and frustration but when he does, anything living would be better off hiding from his sights. He cares less about humans and only sees them as cattle but shows even lesser care about his own kin. He would feast on a human if he is hungry and would most likely leave them alive, but Irvine will kill another vampire on sight for no reason without second thought.

Spoiler:

RP: Parallel
RP Status: Dead since my partner never showed up anymore

Bio: Born Japanese, Shin's family moved away from the country while he was still very young. Forced to live and adapt to a foreign environment, Shin grew to be distant. He was often mocked and made fun of during his highschool for being different or "weird" as the students put it. This became one of the reasons why he hesitates to make friends.

Even so, he has managed to make a few friends, particularly those whom he share the same interests with... Video Games. To Shin, playing video games and immersing himself into the make-believe world was his escape from what he has classified as "the stupid reality". As much as he says that the world around him is stupid, Shin still cares and is naturally gentle. That being said, he is also not the type who would turn his back and run away at the first sign of trouble.


In-game Name: Hiryuu
Class: Pyrokinetic - Commands the element of fire to do as he wills.

Spoiler:

RP: ~Endless~
RP Status: Died since my partner quit FoG

Name: Jasper Gray

Age in photo: 25

Brief Bio: Born to unknown parents, Jasper had started his life in an orphanage. Naturally curious, he came across the question "Why?" countless times at an early age and has tried his best to find an answer each and every time. However, his curiosity often leads him to situations where he sometimes gets into trouble. Jasper has always been the meek one among the kids at the orphanage. With that, he became the center of mockery and a prime target for bullies. Showing little to no signs of resistance, he just endured whatever life decides to throw at him.

The hardships ended when he reached the age of 7. Jasper was adopted by a rich widow with little time to live. He was groomed and educated to grow from a fine lad to a gentleman. Jasper became attached to his foster parent and loved her dearly. He was shown the beauty of life and was taught many wonderful things that he thought only existed in fairy tales. It was after the time of his foster parent's death came that he discovered something about himself that forever changed his life. Jasper grieved the loss of the one person who taught him how to live and decided there was no point in continuing his life. It was that night when he stabbed himself with a knife through the heart that he found out he could not die.

Personality: Even though he was taught the beauty of life, Jasper remained somewhat distant and detached to the world around him. He cares little about worldly events and mostly thinks of people as nothing more but pawns on a giant chessboard called earth. All these changed when he found out he was unable to die.

Spoiler:

RP: Sanctuaire Estrange
RP Status: Dead

Abilities:

Mimic - The oldest trick in his book. Rigald can impersonate any person he wishes to copy. Young doppelgangers can only do so much as to impersonate and nothing more. An adept doppelganger can temporarily inherit the traits of the person/being he copies. It is rumored that powerful doppelgangers can make perfect copies and can assume the persona any time he wishes.

Phase - Yet another standard trick. Doppelgangers branch off from the family of ghosts so they have this. Very handy.

Temporary Clairvoyance - A doppelganger will have the ability to forsee a short distance into the future of a person. Particularly when the death of the said
person draws near. Should the doppelganger choose to warn the people close to the person in question, he will mimic the person and show the last thing that
person will do before his death to those related to him/her. Rigald rarely does this though.

Ethereal Form - The plus of coming from the ghost family. Rigald can choose to vanish to the ethereal plain whenever he wishes. Works well on humans.
Some human beings have the ability to see Ethereal forms thus making this ability useless on them.




Bio: A man who lived a short life as a human, Riglad used to deal with shady businesses among all sorts of thugs, drug lords, and mafia families. His wide array of specialties range from dealing drugs, being a hired gun, smuggling shipments, thievery, bank robbery, arson to kidnapping. He lived a classy, always on the run life until he got assassinated when a business deal turned sour. He harbored a strong grudge against the group who placed the hit on him causing his spirit to linger on the mortal plane.

It was a harsh life for him being a ghost but he got used to it after a long, long time and soon, he was able to exact his revenge on the people responsible for his death. However, this came with a price. Even with this said and that done, Rigald's spirit did not find the peace he was ultimately longing for. He continued to linger amongst the living finding no comfort, nor shelter, or even a decent soul to converse with. He became a vengeful spirit, hell bent on killing anything that breathes life. All his ghostly years were spent alone for the others of his kind despised his evil nature. They made sure to steer clear of his path and condemned his existence. Having no friends in his miserable state, Rigald's hatred grew on and on along with his loneliness. The only thing that kept him sane was humankind's ever moving forward progress. He became fascinated with the so called Technology and took the time to learn about almost all the gadgetry of those whom he used to be.

It was the cure to his violent nature and he was able to suppress his murderous and destructive impulses. However, his loneliness still needed to be treated. He was longing for company. Someone he could talk to, someone to share all the pain he has endured for so long. He needed a friend badly. Often times, Rigald would wander the human populated areas and envy those who were sharing quality time with friends or significant others. It was his strong desire that completely changed him into a different being. It was that fateful Sunday morning in the park. The lovers whom he often kept his eyes on would usually sit by the bench close to the lake, but that day, it was only the woman. She looked so lonely without her man it made Rigald sad. He wished he could materialize and take the man's place even for a short while and he wished hard for it. Miraculously, it was granted. It took him two months to realize that it was all him who granted what he wished for back in that day. He has changed into something more...

With his new found ability, Rigald began to ease his loneliness by mimicking people and having spikes of conversation with the friends of the person he mimicked. He had fun for a short while but later on realized that those people were not really 'his' friends. It made him sad but was given new hope when he learned of Sanctuaire Estrange. Upon visiting the place, he discovered that this is where he should be and so decided to move there and start anew.


Personality: Having settled down, Rigald has completely changed, at least in some part, from being a cold-hearted killer to a gadget freak. He no longer desires to kill humans. Though he occasionally toys with them, thus giving birth to his mischievous, playful side. One part of him hasn't changed though. Rigald had always loved to involve himself with anything shady. Perhaps it was the thrill of doing something illegal or the need to break the law he doesn't know... or care.
A shrewd business man yet a loyal friend. (If he finds you useful) Yet he will not show it easily.

Extras: If anybody needs electronic gadgets in Sanctuaire Estrange, Rigald is their man. Of course, that is if they're willing to pay the price. Oh yes! Prices are negotiable. *smirk*

Appearance:

Spoiler:

RP: [C]omplex Situations
RP Status: Dead

Appearance:



Name: Kyosuke Hidekawa

Age: 21

Role: Guardian #4

Weapons:

Eternal Frost - A finely crafted katana given to him as a gift by a Master Sword smith. The sword itself responds to Kyosuke's innate power to manipulate Water and Ice thus, making it easy for him to draw upon his power to the fullest. He however, refrains from using it too much for he is the type who relies on skill rather than the power he possesses.

Cold Heart - Kyosuke's personal katana crafted by himself. It has no other special traits except that the blade is longer than Eternal Frost and always as cold as ice. (He crafted this sword after priestess Saya's tragic death)

Crystal Arm Guards - In the event that Kyosuke finds himself unable to use Eternal Frost or Cold Heart, he uses his barely visible but highly durable arm guards as a weapon. It also harnesses his innate power thus forming a coat of cold around his fists allowing him to fight barehanded.

Ether Wakizashi - A gift he received after saving an old lady from the clutches of the emperor's evil army terrorizing a small village. He has yet to figure out this defensive sword's capabilities. According to the old lady, the sword was a relic of the past used by a legendary warrior who was said to be just like Kyosuke.

Character Description: Kyosuke is a man of his word. Brave and always looking forward, he is the type of man who never backs down from a challenge. Usually laid back, most people think of him as a quiet person but it is quite the opposite. He is outgoing and enjoys the company of his friends, especially Saya's company, though he seldom gets the chance to be close to her side.

He has locked his private feelings for the priestess after accepting the fact that he can never be anything more than the priestess' guardian and friend. Although he still has a faint hope that someday, things might change between them. Loyal and steadfast, Kyosuke is bound to his duty and is willing to risk his life in exchange for everyone's happiness but mostly, to see the priestess' smiling face.

Background: Saya's death and after...

Kyosuke saw with his own eyes how the emperor struck down his beloved priestess and her lover, Habaek. For him, it was as if time had significantly slowed down as he watched both Saya and Habaek fall to hard earth. He couldn't believe what his eyes allowed him to see. Over and over he pressed the thought that they aren't dead unto his mind... and heart. He wanted to believe that there's still something that can be done but alas, the Emperor's army successfully held him at bay.

Fueled by anger, Kyosuke unleashed his full power against the Emperor's relentless army. The number of bodies that fell lifeless around him drastically increased. He wanted to rush to the side of his beloved priestess, hoping to find her still alive and that he could still save her, but his efforts were in vain. Too powerful... that was the only words that best described their adversary that time, and Kyosuke was helpless.

As the battle raged on, Kyosuke finally managed to force open a path through the heavy line of soldiers to where Saya and Habaek lay. Wounded and limping, he continued to slay enemy soldiers that came left and right with the intent of taking his life, but Kyosuke's anger proved to be a worthy ally. Upon reaching his treasured priestess, Kyosuke's heart shattered like fragile glass. There she lay, silent... and lifeless. The pain of his superficial wounds cannot simply compare to the pain in his heart as he held his priestess' lifeless body in his arms. A single tear escaped his eye that quickly froze into a shard of ice... then everything went black.

How they managed to survive matters not to Kyosuke. He cursed the days that followed with him being allowed to live, he cursed Saya's lover who couldn't even protect her from harm, yet couldn't bear to hate him for he was the reason he could see Saya's smiling face. He cursed the Emperor for taking away the one person who mostly occupied his heart. Devoting his time solely to refining his swordsmanship, Kyosuke distanced himself from the guardians, especially from Habaek. He disappeared without word to anyone and pursued a new level of strength.

After some time of wallowing in his grief, Kyosuke finally came to realize what needs to be done. He forged a sword and transferred his innermost feelings of hatred to the blade... he named it Cold Heart. "With this sword, I will let him feel my pain as I slowly drain the life out of his cursed existence!" was his oath to the blade.

Kyosuke returned to his duty as a Guardian of the Priestess only when word reached him that the Priestess whom he deeply cared for will be resurrected.

This one is rather unique among the crowd of personae since no profiles are needed for the RP itself, but to add on to the list, my character's name in the RP is Fiona and is female. That's about it.

RP: Seiiki
Status: Ongoing

Name: Euridyce V. Jager [Yae-ger]
Age: 24
Height: 6"1
Weight: 188 lbs.
Class: Swordsman/Magi
Affiliation: Swords of Force
Weapon: Rune Blade named Setsuna
Magic Proficiency: Wind/Lightning
Guardian: Female demi-god of wind named Yvone.

~Yvone~

Background:

Euridyce, also known as Dyce to many, came from a rich family of Magi merchants, the Jagers, who sought harmony between magic and technology. How have the Jagers managed to accomplish such a feat remains shrouded in mystery, but the Seiiki council acknowledged their accomplishment and thus, gave them the lead role in supplying technology to the world. It was that fruitful relationship between the Jagers and the Seiiki council that gave riches to the Jagers that could last hundreds of generations throughout their bloodline. However, during the young years of Euridyce, one fateful day changed everything...

An unknown organization of Elite Magi Warriors has risen from the depths of darkness to wreak havoc upon Seiiki's inhabitants, their reason? Unclear. Their goal? Nobody knows. The once peaceful Seiiki suddenly became a battlefield. Houses burned left and right, people died everywhere. Those who resisted were mercilessly slaughtered, and those who submitted were turned to slaves. Skilled warriors were spared by the unknown organization and were forced to join their ranks. But the organization had no intent of stopping there. They set their eyes upon the Jagers and their successful harmonization of Magic and Technology, seeking to increase their power even more through means of advanced weaponry.

Fearing for the worst, Lysander Jager, the young Euridyce's father, instructed his most trusted men to take his son, along with a device to somewhere far away. Being a Magi himself, Lysander Jager would not allow their family's secret to fall into the hands of the unjust. It was a fierce battle. Many have died and even more were injured, but the unjust prevailed. With his last leg of strength, Lysander Jager destroyed their lifelong accomplishment along with everything related to it leaving the organization no means to resurrect what they have accomplished. Victory came at a high price.

In the peaceful town of Sevii, many years later, Euridyce grew to be a very skilled magi warrior under the tutelage of Sevii's Elder Magi, Reonole. Here, he met Khim Saiger, a runaway fascinated with Magi Arts and Guardians. Both of them trained together since their childhood and soon found themselves sharing a strong bond of friendship. This was also the time Euridyce earned another nickname thanks to Khim Saiger. She was the only one Euridyce allowed to call him by the name "Euri".

After finishing his training and attaining a Guardian named Yvone, Euridyce sets out to join a resistance faction called Swords of Force, a group of Magi Warriors who vowed to put an end to the dark organization that remained elusive throughout the years. Euridyce kept this a secret from Khim for he knew she would tag along and get herself tangled up in a mess where both of them could possibly die, he did not want that. He was out to seek revenge and he was not too keen with the idea of dragging others along with him and his vendetta.
