I've entered the 2009 RPG contest with Norm. Wish me luck hehe. :><:

MAJOR EDITING IN PROGRESS!


Groups


Angelis Guard,

A guard of elites who train fiercely for their people. They are honored by where they stand. They are used in times of dire need, such as a war or brewing trouble. They are divided into teams, each with a specialist of each class. It is rumored they descend from the heavens to watch over, hence the name. These men stand strong and true and weaknesses are not acceptable. Courage and Loyalty, with specialized skills make an Angelis Warrior.

Group Y - Unplanned yet. More information to come :D.


Main Characters

Tenebrae (Added for Vrael in honor of his Tenebrous map) [Latin for Darkness],

The leader of the Angelis Guard, he alone holds the secret of what happened to the Guardians so many ages ago.
Alistair [Greek for Guardian or protector]
Strongest of all Warriors, Captain of the Angelis Guard, a small group of elite specialists who are great at what they do. He commands other commanders but has his own platoon of men. He commands Vehemens, and Validus who wield almost no magic. He believes magic is for the weak so he does not use it, he can easily break spells and wards with his great blade made of steel which he carries with him at all times, no matter where he is. He keeps weapons hidden throughout his body, making him a force to be reckoned with.
Ace [Latin for One or unity]

A commander who is easy to talk to, and can easily create bonds between people. In the Angelis Guard, he commands the triplets Letifer, Leto, and Letum. He has created unbreakable bonds between these triplets and him, ultimately bounding them to him and him to them. Would you have done the same thing in his position?

Support Characters

Vehemens [Latin for violent, furious, impetuous]

A man who is enraged easily and flows with adrenaline at almost all times. A simple comment can induce his rage. He is frightened of Alistair, because of one time that he battled with Alistair in a skirmish and lost almost immediately.
Validus [Latin for strong, mighty, powerful, exceeding]

A barely legal kid who shows potential, he is Alistair's son and trained under Alistair since he could walk. He takes after his father and carries a duplicate of his father's blade, except instead of steel, his is made of black stone, which is enchanted with magic but he is prohibited from using it. He dreams of beating his father in a skirmish.
Letifer [Latin for deadly, mortal]

A triplet, the youngest and weakest in his platoon, but makes up with it as he is quick and wields two daggers, each wickedly sharp with engraved symbols. He claims he has a unstoppable talent in which others will be frightened so he is reluctant to show others except for his brothers. What is this secret move he has been hiding?
Leto [Latin for kill, slay]

A triplet, the oldest and strongest of the three, rash and quick, but who is constantly humiliated by Ace for ridiculing his brothers. His sword and shield are made of black stone, which has entrapped magic in it, which he decided not to use on others after his last experience with unleashing his magic from its prison. What happened in the past to make him afraid of his own magic?
Letum [Latin for death, ruin, annihilation]

A triplet, the one in the middle, who is average at fighting, but wisest and commands powerful white magic, which he can heal and shield himself and others as needed, he makes sure no one gets injured. He has yet to show the limit of his power. Does he wield more magic? How much power can he use?

Digging the latin.

Make a character named "Tenebrosus" or "Tenebrae" in my map's honor :D

How about some data on your plans for gameplay, spells, systems, ect?

Also, don't let the latin go to waste. It's just a suggestion, but have a correlated theme. I have taken my theme to be darkness (not the stereotypical evil baddie darkness, but the badass kind of darkness that you never even know is there), and am doing everything in my power (well, that I can think of) to make my map dark. You could definitely go the "fire" route, it's already set up. Carmine = crimson, find the latin for "sun" "blood" "fire" "lava", ect.



None.

Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

I do the same as you; most of my character names are latin =P

Vrael has a point, you'll probably want to add gameplay details to your topic. People like to know what they're supporting =)

I'd love to test and help out if I can.

Hope it turns out well =)

Some data I'll add soon. Sorry for the delay, homework :] and the 9th grade Benchmark is a little beast.

Mmkay. I'll circulate my game about Carmine :P

I like that.

isnt written in stone an expression for when something is permanent?

Jun 10 2009, 11:40 am JaFF Post #16



I think 'carved in stone' is a stronger expression. Makes it sound more solid and eternal.
