The Purge

Det is my co-owner. Listen and bow down to her to :P

______________________

We live as four now, though I hear that once upon a time we were one. One big mighty civilization that flourished in their time. Every member worked together to create the perfect world under the rule of our sovereign leader. Then he disappeared. Don't look at me; I don't know what happened to him... I don't think anyone really did. In the uprisings that followed, four humans tried to take the thrown, each claiming that they would be the best for the job. In the end, no one received the crown, but all died trying. Still, the people were in chaos, scattered and broken. Our way of life hand been turned upside-down, what were we supposed to do? After about three years of turmoil, someone who actually had a brain in their heads came to a decision. Each of those leaders had stood for something... had wanted to bring something to the table and in general, every person had chosen one who they wanted to follow. Why not go their separate ways and live under those principles? Each person chose the way they would live, but not before swearing to one day proves that they were right and the others were wrong. Nowadays, at the age of sixteen, that promise reappears in what we call The Purge.

They make us fight, to prove the winner. Many die, we know that no one ever knows the results of the matches... they don't announce it. Babies are just raised up by one human (who can't speak anyway... what with her mouth gone), and are sent off to battle. We were the colors of our factions into battle, to stand tall and strong. So now here I am, on the eve of war. The eve of the Purge.

And so it was that the one became four. Each stood for something different, and the citizens were raised differently. Each had the ways of the group they were in. They didn't choose it, but they still live like it. The four factions are as so:

There were those who blamed the chaos on lack of bravery. These set people became the Crivetes and were warriors that would stand up to any challenge. They are fearless and strong, physically and mentally, never cringing or backing down. To stare into the face of an enemy and not even have to bl
ink before ending the light in their eyes.

Some blamed the lack of order and knowledge and became the Liress. This faction is brilliant and uses all of their resources to bring wisdom and science to themselves. They are cunning, tricky, and deceiving in their ways, preferring to outsmart or humiliate an unworthy mind instead of educating the lesser bunch.

Some blamed the emotions in humans and became the Guipice. Each Guipice was as hard and solid as a rock, and put all of their interests aside for the good of the whole. They were unfeeling, unmoving, and forever sturdy. Never do they lack a firm foundation. Cold like the ground itself, they have eliminated the humanity within them, making them a challenging force.

The last group blamed hesitation for their problems. The Mordai were once a shy and cowed group, but have long since changed this. On the battlefield they are renowned for never once doubting their actions. With brutal force they simply act in the moment and do not dwell on it afterwards. This unpredictable style has made them a strong when fielding combatants. Added to that the Mordai refuse to give up, seeing it as a sign of hesitation. They fight to the death and if they could, beyond.

OoC://

Wanted to join. Then I saw the age requirements and realized I don't have any characters whose ages are just at 16.

Major turn-off.

[Aw sorry Dragon :c Me and Det decided there needed to be a solid age for them all. ]

OoC://

It be fine; I guess. A lot of other roleplays -- that look rather interesting -- have rules that turn me off to wanting to roleplay in them.

Name:
Ventus
Gender:
Male
Age:
16
Deion:
 

Ignore the flames, its just the girl.
Personality:
People call her the girl on fire. Mostly its because of her bold and outgoing attitude. From birth she has been taught to not fear a soul, to look danger in the face and then spit in it. Being fearless doesn't make her unkind, though she isn't the nicest nor the most 'perky' human you will ever meet. Held at sword point, she can easily stay calm due to the lack of nervous tension that normally would be in her body. Some might say she is a little to...what is the word...spontaneous. Overall though, even with her childhood bring a ton of qualities to her personality, she is typically a steadfast, loyal, and decently sweet girl. Not to over-talkative though you had better watch yourself carefully when she is around lest she does find something negative about you to speak up about for there is about a 90 percent that she will let everyone know what she has observed.
Faction:
Crivetes
Skills:
Over-all fun to be around so she can make friends better than a good half of her faction mates. She is a eloquent speaker... able to hype up a crowd with only a few sentences. She is built body wise more to evade and come from behind then anything else

Weakness:Temper, has to many awkward pauses, tends to phase out more than she should, can't stand when someone takes advantage of a rule that wasn't stated clearly enough, hates to seem less important then anyone else, doesn't even consider second place winning, only first is a true prize. She is a bit judgemental though its really only in a way that would help herself be advanced in the end.... stuff like that.
Brief History:
In the  Crivetes compound, your taught to be fearless from the moment you can walk. Heights have always been a big issue with her though... she hates um. To bad the shelter is on a cliff.  Overall, she was about a above class worker. If given the choice, and if she survives this, she would probably end up doing something with written words or even medicine. All of which depends on her making it past the Purge of course
Weapon (your choice of 2):
Curved daggar and accuracy bow (good at moderate distances.... sucks at long ones).
Other:
