Magic: The gathering- war of the planeswalkers

[SargentToughie]

Planeswalkers, the unquestioned most omnipotent force in the entire multiverse. These warriors travel from world to world, doing whatever they please. As planeswalkers are not bound by the borders of the worlds, they have not take affair in the fate of whatever world they visit, as they are not bound by the same rules as regular mortals.

They have the power of gods, and what happens when gods turn on each other? Armageddon... that's what happens. It began when two planeswalkers disagreed on the fate of a world.

Julius Stallonart- a human from the Alara shard of Bant, thinks that the world of Teramin should be left alone, it's people allowed to prosper. In peace

Alkaloth dor gurtea- a dark and deranged Elf from the the land formerly known as 'lorwin' believes that the races on Teramin deserve to be enslaved and made into his own personal army, so that he may march across the entire multiverse and capture all of it for his own entertainment.

This conflict, affects every planeswalker in the entire multiverse.

now, everybody must pick a side.

good or evil, Save the multiverse, or dominate it with a steel fist

Spoiler: players

Pick a side, and make a bio... all of the typical bio pieces are to be included

and lastly: your faction, which general's banner will you fight under? Which planeswalker will you side with?

....

you have several days to get your character in to me, if you need help making a good character, PM me and I'll get back to you.

also, if you're new to MtG, welcome to the nerd's world

Spoiler: rules, READ ME

I'm sorry that I thought I could expect people to use common sense without my saying anything, so here are a few ground rules to make this whole thing a lot easier for me, and other people who can't be on 24/7 to battle for glory

1) Slow down, I really want this to be an epic war thread, but that can't happen if people are posting every 6 seconds, so try to slow-go on the posting

Odds are, I'll need to add more rules as the RP goes on, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it

 

[Flying-Emu]

I'm in to this. Could you maybe give a short list of planes? I'm not into Magic that much, so I don't know the mythos. I'll totally craft a sheet though.

 

[cptjack42]

I'm in. I like the card game, And this seems to have a good backstory. Plus, I've been looking for a RP to join lately.

 

[ae86gamer]

I'm interested. Great story.

But can you explain what these are
-faction
-which general's banner will you fight under
-Which planeswalker will you side with

Also if you could provide a link to what Magic is. I have no clue what it is.

 

[SargentToughie]

It's Julius vs. Alkaloth, you choose which planeswalker to side with and begin the war.

Also, for those unfamiliar with magic, here's a handy website [http://www.wizards.com/magic/]

this should provide you with all of the information you need to build your character. and I'm also adding your character's Mana affinity as a required field

You have the following to choose from:

1) White
2) Green
3) Blue
4) Red
5) Black

for the sake of sanity, let's not do multi colors, pick one.

*EDITED*
Name:Freya Saga Vidar

Gender:Female

Race:Human

Plane:Ravnica.

History:Freya is a very kind a gentle soul. Believing that no life should ever be taken. She dislikes fighting very much. Not looking a day past her twenties she is a very beautiful woman. She has long brown hair and deep blue eyes. She was born with what is know as the "planeswalker spark". Even though she was born with the spark it still took many years for her to ascend. The reason for her ascension is the murder of her family by raiders. As many Planeswalkers go mad from the powers they have she was tutored by the older ones to prevent this.

Though there is no need to eat, drink, etc. She still does these things to maintain her sanity. Freya has not spoken to a non-planeswalker in hundreds of years. She knows, as soon as she meets someone, she will outlive them, and that she will have to live with the loss.

Fighting style: She has a staff that has a blade at the end of it. Colored gold and red its blade has almost never been used because of her dislike of fighting. If needed she can also use magic. She is extremely skilled at using magic. When fighting her movements are very fluid and graceful.

Mana:White.

Faction:Julius Stallonart

Tell me if this is ok. If it needs more or parts to be taken out or fixed just tell me. This rp is going to be fun.

 

[Berethond]

Name: Rho'dar

Gender: Male

Race: Demon

Plane: Aldaran shard of Grixis

History: He grew up with an extremely short childhood. Necromancers killed his sire and dam, and he sought revenge. Became a demonic mercenary, worked for pay. After he became a Planeswalker, however, he spent aeons traveling, and meditating. He learned to start ruling instead of letting them rule him. Now, he wishes to extend freedom for all, but most of all peace.

Fighting style: He's got major magic powers. He's also got a sword, but he doesn't really need it.

Julius Stallonart.[sup]*[/sup]

Mana: RED

[sup]*[/sup]Yes, I put that on purpose. Rho'dar is a good demon. However strange that may sound.

Also, let me know if you need me to change anything.

 

[SargentToughie]

We're already off to a good start.

I look forward to seeing more players... hopefully

EDIT: AE86: there are some issues with your character.

1) There are no humans in Lorwin, but I'll let it slide if you say that she went to Lorwin in order to avoid her home plane after her spark awoke.

2) People don't 'receive' the spark, they're born with it.

3) this isn't really a problem, but Ajanni Vengeant would have a lot to talk about with your girl (/joke)

 

[cptjack42]

Name: Ailed Rellin

Gender: Male

Race: Angel

Plane: Alara-Bant

History: Although born a angel on Alara-Bant, the plane of light, Ailed never really liked having to uphold such a strict code of honor, and he never had any taste for upholding the law. However, he was able to go along with what the rest of the world believed was what he should do. Until he discovered the spark and became a planeswalker, that is. He immediately left his home for the plane of Shadowmoor, a plane that he had decided would be perfect to indulge in his corrupt greed. He has, over the years, been nicknamed 'The corrupted Angel' by those around him, and continues to strive for more land and power.

Fighting style: Uses a deadly combination of his skilled swordsmanship with extreme speed, agility, and expert control over flight. He is also known to have the ability to absorb magical attacks to give himself more power.

Color: White

Alignment: Alkaloth

 

[SargentToughie]

It is a total disaster! Only three confirmed players?

It seems that it's time to start doing some... advertising, players, those of you who wish to see this idea of an RP flourish, either sign up now. Or PM anybody who would be interested

I myself have already sent out a plea of help to a few people, but I fear that the fan base of our beloved card game isn't broad enough to warrant a full on RP.

Players, PM any who you think may be interested in playing, and kindly include a link to the RP

 

[Berethond]

Maybe you should consider posting something in <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.87934?page=2>this thread.

It might be fortuitous.

Name: Bartok
Gender: Male
Race: Djinn
Plane: Wildfire

History: Bartok is a being of amazing power, and a clever one at that. He has quite powerful magic skills, unfortunately overconfidence is his greatest weakness. He takes greater joy of playing games with his adversaries than killing them on the spot, making him more irritating than deadly. However, try and breakthe game on him, and he'll be done messing around with you.

Fighting style: Djinn do not regularly use weapons, depending on their great magical ability. Bartok is no different, taking great pride in his attributes and his intellect to take on any enemy.

Color: Blue

Alignment: Alkaloth

 

[Flying-Emu]

Name: Elira Greendale

Race: Human

Sex: Female

Mana: Green

Plane: Ravnica

Background: Born into the tumultous city of Ravnica, Elira was quickly recognized as a powerful practitioner of Green magic; bringing life and natural beauty to all that she came in contact with. A quiet, brooding young girl, she was recruited to the Gruul clan.

Powered now by base instincts and viewing civilization with distaste if not outright disdain, Elira spends little time in thought and more committing herself to the restoration or destruction of whatever she deems worthy of the respective courses of action.

Headstrong, arrogant, deadly, and beautiful are all words that describe Elira. With fiery hair tied in a tight tail, garbed in fire-hardened leather armor with knee-high boots, and wielding an ancient quarterstaff, she cuts an imposing figure despite her small size.

She spent much time in turmoil over which Planeswalker to fight for, but at last chose Stallonhart; believing that the possibility of another rise of civilization a small tradeoff for giving the people of Teramin their freedom over slavery.

Faction: Stallonhart

Fighting Style: Primarily magical, Elira has developed her quarterstaff (Taken from ancient oaks harvested to save them from the advent of Ravnican civilization) into a powerful weapon. Even when she is far from any natural power, she is able to morph the staff into a variety of wooden companions; ranging from squirrels to buffalo. When she has no need for secrecy or battle, she forms the staff into the shape of a small jaybird, which rests upon her shoulder quietly.

As said previously, her primary ability is in magical prowess. As long as a facet of nature exists, Elira has strength. A babbling brook, a stunted tree, as long as it is a measure of life or the natural order, she may draw further strength from it.

How was that?

To necroswanson: Lilliana Vess would crush all of the other planeswalkers, and besides. Folks like them have been dead for years. But I feel your desire for a few of the more badass planeswalkers out there, however.

[chomesuke]

Name: Edgar Ileowen
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Plane: Ravnica
Mana affinity: Blue
History: During the ''peacefull'' times of the guild pact Ileowen(he used to be called by his last name and throws a fit when someone uses his first name) was one of the highest advisors of the azorius. But after the fall of the guilds the people he ruled called for his head. He decided that he didn't want to die. As a rogue mind mage he tried to re-climb the social order, and regain his prestige and might. His plans where coming to a completion(like the good blue mage that he is) when he was stabbed in the back by one of his peers.

He died. or at least that was what he thought that must have happened, as a blue mage he knew that at least 3 vital organs where hit, no ravnican magic could heal him.
And then he heard it, a voice, a marvelous child. But what was she?

3 days later he knew it all, he was on a world thay called ''lorwyn'' apparently he just walked right out of his own world. After he was healed up(and tried to thank the elves that healed him) he trained himself in this walking of worlds. After a couple of unpleasant days he blinked out again, this time waking up on a world of metal.
this world was make completely made out of metal. But some sort of shield made it so that he was unable to plainswalk(worldwalk just didn't sound right) out of here.
After a few hours he saw a tribe of catfolk, again some new specie he didn't know.
They took him in, and in exchange of his help with artifice they trained him in non magical combat.
He crafted many artifacts to help his leonin friends in the battle against the memnarch.

After a while he suddenly felt this shield that held him where he was dissapear, so after completing his most powerfull artifact(a sword called worldslayer), he left, leaving the leonin more intrigued to where he left that grievious to his departure.

He appeared again in the world of Teramin where he saw two mages fight. Intrigued as he should be(being blue and all) he found out by mind reading what is was about.
He let out a little scream.
He found fellow planeswalkers!
This was huge! he wasn't alone! As the other 2 men where still fighting he figured out that he needed to choose one side and help that side out...

Fighting style: A halberd, basically a blade on a stick, as he calls it often. And offcourse his magic. But during his time in mirrodin he relied mostly on his halberd, so he is quite skilled in that department. when using magic he relies on countering his opponent's magic and then slowly killing them.

Faction: Alkaloth Gurtea.

Name: Malice
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Plane: Otaria

Mana affinity: Black

History:
Malice is the soul survivor of of Cabal City and Aphetto. Before Chainer's rise to power he had a crush on Braids and in her honor had placed a curse on Otaria that would outlast the Cabal itself. As time passed and Chainer rgew to power the First's attention drew away from Malice, and this angered him. Chainer had brought The First the Mirari, but Malice's power far surpassed the mere bauble.
As time passed and Chainer's insanity claimed him Malice learned how to channel the mirari himself, creating incomprehensible horrors. As Akroma, Phage and Kamahl rose to power he found himself withdrawing form the world, building up an army of his tardemark nightmare, Hypnox, a gift to the newly risen god Kuberr. But to much time was wasted and as he came forth, Karona had already been pierced by Kamahl's great blade, and Kuberr was gone. Otaria was Malice's new playground. And play with it he did.
Malice spent years turning Otaria into a horror that Gix himself would have dared not go. However all was not well and Malice's heart despaired at his loss of Braids. Eventually he sent his many monsters across the world searching for any sign of her, but none ever came. As time went by, another item much like the Mirari was discovered. But malice hated it, it reminded him of Chainer. He destroyed it, and absorbing it's power to become his own, awoke as a planeswalker.
As time passed Malice grew rather bored of Otaria. He spent much time travelling the other planes.
He spent time on Mirrordin introducing horrors that were not there before.
On Kamigawa he granted the ogres much power, but soon found himself being replaced by demons, and eventually, a Myojin.
On ravnica he had group sex with the Gorgon sisters whom birthed Svogthir, and the Nephilim. However as the war broke out and the Nephilim hatched, Malice grew tired of it.
He spent much time in Phyrexia trying to rebuild it, but found he had no taste for artifice.
He has spent most of his recent years simply drifting in the multi-verse.
Malice is in fact, quite insane. He's fierce, unrelenting, and worst of all, intelligent. He has the right nightmare for almost any job, and will use them a he sees fit.

Fighting style: Malice relies heavily on his summons, but is nimble and fast. For personal combat he has a short sword and a plethora of corrupting spells.
Faction: (What, no Lilliana Vess?)Alkaloth Gurtea.

basic appearance: Long thin blonde hair hanging down to his waist. His eyes are red, almost aflame. He wears a strange breastplate seeming to be made of wood, but looking as though worms were crawling in it. He wears a long black chang pao under the breast plate, with leather pants tucking into boots designed similarly to his breastplate, with a set of gauntlets matching as well.
He wears purple goggles over his forehead and a tattered grey scarf at his neck. His sword is strapped behind his waist.
