READ THIS FIRST!!
My first RP to lead, inspired by Jupingatna. Thanks Amras.
Story:
The world is at war. The 5 nations have been fighting for decades and there is no end in sight. The icy climate of Sylvark, the lava flows of Toromus, the sands of Al’Kiharum, the mountains of Syres, and the urban landscape of Chystor have all claimed parts of the fights. With standard soldiers and restrictions, the 5 nations have found themselves at a stalemate. Thus the age of mercenaries has begun…

~Weapon Components~
Weapons are made of 2 basic parts.
Sword: Hilt, Blade
Axe: Handle, Blade
Bow: Bow Wood, String
Arrows: Shaft, Arrowhead
Staff: Base, Staff Head
Daggers: Hilt, Blade
These parts fit into 2 Categories: Metals and Misc.
Metals: *Hilt, *Handle, Blade, Arrowhead, and Staff Head
Misc: *Hilt, *Handle, Bow Wood, String, Shaft, and Base
You cannot buy weapons, you have to make them. To make a weapon, you have to have a certain amount of experience determined by how many missions you do. Metals must be purchased, and Misc. items can be purchased or crafted.
Metals:
Bronze
Iron
Steel
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Mithril
Adamantine
Materite
Dragon Bone
Wood (Bow Wood, Hilts, Handles, Shafts, Bases)
Pine
Oak
Maple
Redwood
Bloodwood
*Mulberry
*Palm
*Yew
* Only usable for Bow Wood.
~Affinities~
Affinities are how your character functions. Each character has a set affinity.
Fighters: Earth
Archers: Air
Mages: Fire
Thieves: Water
Interactions between classes are like those in real life. Fighters are unaffected by Mages, but suffer a bit when working with Archers and Mages. Archers and Mages work well together, have no effect on Thieves, and work worse when with fighters. Mages are unaffected by fighters, fueled by archers, and cannot work in the presence of thieves. And thieves are unaffected by archers, work worse around fighters, and cannot work with mages. This is true for all classes and proficiencies.
~Training Grounds~
As a recruit, you have little skills. This is what the training ground is for. You cannot accept a mission until you have a basic knowledge of a weapon. To gain knowledge of a weapon, you must spend a “day” in the training ground. This means, you RP yourself to the grounds, and say at the end “(player name) then trained for the rest of the day.” After this, you cannot post in this forum until the next day. If you do, then the training will be canceled and you will not receive your credit for the weapon. This is how you gain proficiency, as well. You are allowed 2 proficiencies. Your main one must be of your base class, but your second can be of any class. Depending on what you choose, this can open up new classes for you to choose from. There is no list, but if you want to know what is available for your proficiencies of choice, ask me.
~Profiles~
Profiles help others keep track of your status. When you join the RPG, you will fill out the following fields:
Name:
Age:
Base Class:
Description: (Be creative)
Reason to become a Merc: (This helps me know how you’re going to play the game)
After your third mission, you will be required to post a new copy of this, with the following fields added:
Missions Completed: (Name the missions)
*Primary Proficiency:
*Secondary Proficiency:
*Secondary Class:
Gold:
Current Weapon(s):
Time In Training:
