OCC: Awakening: Age of Conflict

[Falconer]

Chateau du Terreche
The torrential rains beat against the stained glass windows as thunder crashed overhead. Lowering his blade, blood dripping from the broken tip, Sir Arith stared in disbelief. “It is over?”
“It is over,” a second knight agreed, dropping the broken halves of his lance next to the corpse of Magus, the last and greatest of the Sorcerers. “The evil of their kind has finally been extinguished.”
“Artorius, how can you be certain?” Arith asked. “Their kind have hidden before-”
“The Grail assured us that Magus was the only remaining living Sorcerer in the world. And with the destruction of the Death Scepter by Sir Lancel, we need not worry about any undead either.”
“Then it is finished.” Arith leaned wearily against the wall. “The Order of the Temple has accomplished its mission…”

Genetic and Environmental Anomaly Research Syndicate (GEARS), outside Kansas City, Missouri
“It has begun,” Dr. Kevin Nexado said. “Prepare to inject.”
Inside the sealed room, the lab assistant leaned over and injected the serum into the first patient. “Beginning nanotech treatment, the assistant said, his voice muffled by his gas mask. Around the room, small vents opened, pouring a cold fog of particles out.
For a moment, tester and patient were obscured by the mists. Dr. Nexado leaned forward impatiently. “Jacobs? How is the patient?”
From out of the mists the body of the lab assistant came hurtling at high speed, smashing through the reinforced safety glass like it was wet paper. Dr. Nexado scrambled backwards as the patient stepped into view…

The demise of the Sorcerer Magus signaled the end of the Third Age, ushering in the Fourth Age, the Age of Peace.
A Templar scout has reported a government quarantine of a research facility in Missouri. Interviews of an escaped janitor have confirmed the Temple Council’s worst fears- someone, using modern technology, has started to recreate the Sorcerer power to mutate and control humans and animals. Now it is time to begin the Fifth and final Age, the Age of Conflict.
You are a Templar knight, born into a wealthy family and raised without being told the nature of your legacy. You have been summoned before the Temple Council, to join others like you in an attack on the G.E.A.R.S. facility, to eliminate any mutated creatures and destroy all traces of the technology before the situation escalates.
Good luck.
The fate of humanity rests in your hands.

Sounds awesome

[Jishdefish]

Name: Ivan Kinder

Weapon of Choice: Flail
Personality: Persistent in chasing down a lead he has always had his way with the world with his magnificent articles. He was shocked to learn that his knack for finding the hidden truths in things was actually a gift of his Templar heritage.

So where are all the people that voted for this one? Ersska, Dragon444?

[Ersska]

Sorry. I'm still interested. I just haven't had much time to come up with a character. I'll try to get something posted by the end of this weekend.

-slides in-

Name: Jade
Occupation: Bassist.
Weapon of Choice: Halberd.
Personality: A little spastastic, Jade nevertheless tends to be really serious when he needs to be. He favors the halberd because of it's reach, and because he can actually air bass on it...

[alondor]

Name: Alondor Dariflo (Dar-if-low)
Occupation: Cryptologist
Weapon of Choice: long sword with a longer handle than usual that he uses as a club on occasion but also likes the maces

[Makla]

eh sure why not. i'll bite. i might be a bit rusty, though. i haven't rp'ed in ages

Name: Kailik 'Wolf' Markstaff
Occupation: Lawyer (hate me! muahaha!)
Weapon of Choice: Bolas
Personality: likes to think he knows everything and usually tries to look the leader. however he has great respect for those he sees as his superiors. has fairly dark humor and a morbid sense of reality

let me know if i need to change anything

[Falconer]

Wow, good, I'll just wait until Ersska posts her character and then we'll start.

[Ersska]

POOF!!!! I'm here! Sorry I took so long.

Quick question: Do the characters have to all be male? If so, I'll just change the "she" to "he". ;P

Name: Tobi Brackner
Occupation: Gymnastics and softball coach
Weapon of Choice: Rapier
Personality: Tobi is very patient with people. She's quiet unless spoken to or coaching. Although usually calm and collected, she does not hold back in competition and may too get carried with it (which obviously can sometimes be bad thing)

[Makla]

my internet is being funky. lame wireless card is freaking out. so i might not be reliable to be on here every day if i can't get it working right. some days it just doesn't like connecting
if that's the case and my character needs to be used, ersska has full rights to use him as needed

[Ersska]

Aw, I feel so special! Don't worry, Makla, Wolfy's in good hands.

[Falconer]

All male? No.

Okay, I will go start it. *rubs hands together* this is going to be sooo much fun.

[Ersska]

I just thought I would let you know I'm going to be gone for the next four (maybe five) days. So, if you start the rp, don't expect a post from me until sometime next Thursday or Friday. Sorry for any problems this may cause.

If there's anything extra I need to know or you just feel like telling me, go ahead and reply. I'm going to check the site again later tonight before I go to bed. After that. . .I'm gone.

[Makla]

when is this getting started anyway?

[Falconer]

As soon as I find that stupid file...

EDIT: It's started.

[alondor]

My weapon is now changed to a pair of short swords with extra long hdles i use to wack people over the head with
