Hundreds of years ago, close to the heart of every land there lay a gleaming tower of white that soared high above the clouds. When the denizens of this tower, the Phari, custodians of the light, were called to arms, the light from the top of the tower could be seen across the world.
Fifteen years ago, the ancient lord Shadowscythe rose from his tomb to wreak havoc. Though he was put to rest once again, his army demolished the largest of the white towers, bringing it to ruins and killing thousands in the surrounding areas. Those who remained of the Phari fled or were killed by rioters. The remaining towers eventually followed.
Only four Phari remained.
Today, the world slowly burns to ash, the demon lord Marchosias leads his armies across the land on a mad quest of destruction. Now, gathered at a bar, the Phari return to their homeland, in the Elvish isles, but they seek to swell their ranks again.
This RP is set in the Elvish Isles of Arelia. Kerectus is a disc shaped planet carried on the back of a giant space travelling, god-like wolf. The gods are also different, because Christianity and Judaism and what-not never really took on (though they still exist, but only barely!) It should also be noted that symbols like the cross are still recognised, and people still say ‘Oh god!’ The world is in a semi-futuristic setting. I.E You should consider it a modern world, but occasionally I might mention some sort of Sci-Fi tech, such as a laser rifle. Magic and sword & bows and stuff are generally considered more useful than guns, because what use are bullets against goddamn dragons? That was a rhetorical question. Dragon always beats gun, as does rock. In case I missed anything, check the totally disjointed Kerectus Universal Wiki (linked above)

Biography:
At the age of 12 Zaera ran away from his family clan, "The disbelievers of the wolf" or 'Antivolf' as per his family name, he could no longer be forced to carry the lie. While his immediate family were not much for practicing the rituals, the higher ups in the community strongly believed lies like that the world was the shape of a ball, Z would have no part in such games. His family were tolerable but as part of culture, large gatherings and speeches could not be avoided, the district often plastered in propaganda.
Zaera would sneak away from his home near the edge of the district, visiting a library a short walk out of the gardens, reading the true world history as well as many fantasy novels that were banned from the family library for even suggesting otherwise to teachings. A life like this would have been acceptable but at the age of 10 he was told by the grand elders that he would not be allowed to learn magic as it was not considered a natural part of life [by clan teachings at least]. Zaera contested this, knowing for a fact that some elders used magic for their own means but everyone just laughed and treated him like the child he was.
Zaera figured if he couldn't have powers, then nobody could.
At the age of 20 Zaera was commissioned to visit the Elvish isles of Arelia, the world was no longer at peace and he almost wished for the simple life of his naive former clan. Almost.
Arya Moyasu Magnus | 23 | Female | Elf Appearance:
Powers: Weapon projection - After her years of training as a mage, she is able to project any weapon that she can think of, depending on what's on her mind. She may spot someone else's weapon and copy its appearance but not its aspects. It will fade away once it breaks, so she uses everything in her power to project durable weapons. Cressel Flames - This certain fire spell will only trigger when she is using a weapon, during attacks, her weapons will leave a trail and will ignite seconds after the initial attack, causing for more of a chaotic way of combat. Dragon form - Arya's aura grows brighter and gives her the essence of a wyvern, gaining all it's strengths and weaknesses, her aura glows around her and the size is tripled from her usual height of 5'8, and she is more induced to be enraged more than ever.
Bio: When Arya first came into this world, she was dying, already losing her breath the second she was born. Her mother, who was a mage, infused her with the soul of an old dragon who was fabled to be kind. After the infusion, the young child was healthy, and ready for the new world. As the girl got older, her father taught her how to defend herself at a young age, from hand to hand, to expert swordsman dances from ages throughout her child and teenage years. Her mother taught her Magics and spells, but the girl only had projection spells in her mind. When her mother was teaching
her basic pyromancy, her mother vanished, never to be seen again.
The dragon infused within the girl had tried to outbreak when she was young, her mother saw this and gave the girl her own seal, to keep the dragon from taking control of her. As the girl grew, she was known by her excellent sword arts and pyromancy. Though, she was infamous for the dragon residing within her. She was long wolf traveling to different places to see where her occupation required her to go. She was a hunter, a hunter of beasts disguised as men, a hunter who excelled in hunting those who had too much power, like an assassin but more open.
She's often found by bodies of water to keep herself to what she calls 'Burning up' which states that her the seal might break it's temperature rises too high or so. "You're no true dragon."
At the age of 18 she became a hunter of those drunk for blood and has hunted down countless as of traitors and thieves. As she got older her skill with her blades and magics improved. She was slowly getting known as someone who acts like a hero but is actually the opposite.
Age 21 she began recruiting those who wanted to be a hunter of the blood drunk. Something he was known for already, since she was in need of those who continued her work since she was getting tired of it.
Age 23, present day, she now searches for her mother who was fabled to still be alive searching the lands to learn more magics from the first one who trained her in the way of arcane.
Inventory:
A twin blade that splits into a sword and a small dagger, tis her main weapon
A locket, though no one other than her knows what's inside
A vial of blood (Don't ask)
Dragon tooth necklace
A double barrel pistol that fire two bullets at once
((Was going to say no to the half/dragon thing, but you've handled it rather well, so I'll say yes. Unfortunately, you have not read the rules correctly. Please re-read them and then I will accept you.))

((So this basically means the best weapon of choice for a person who typically doesn't use magic OCs is a Railgun? Piercing is their specialty. Or just the amount of kinetic energy the impact has in general. You could've said you weren't using feasibly killable dragons. ))
((Wait, if it's impenetrable then what makes a sword or magic more effective? It's basically a downgrade from a gun.))

((*dramatic sigh*
Railgun's do not exist in a compact form. Unless you intend to mount a railgun on a dragon (or something of similar sie) you can't have a railgun.
Nigh-impenetrable. Guns, while powerful, are imprecise. Getting a bullet between the scales is quite a feat, requiring no small amount of luck. Getting a blade in there, however, is feasible.
Furthermore, you are far too focused on a single point in a paragraph meant to give context. There won't necessarily be any dragons within this RP. And saying swords are inferior to guns is like saying motorbikes are lesser than cars. They are both used to get from point A to point B, they just do it in different ways.))
((Magic Canonically comes in way too many shapes and sizes to describe. You should just pick a power and see what happens. If you don't want magic, that's a perfectly fine option, also using artifacts instead of powers is fine too.))
((On the gun thing, guns are most definitely more effective than swords in many instances, but a sword crafted for the slaying of dragons is going to be better for fighting dragons than a powerful gun, just as a gun forged and sealed to slay demons will be better at killing demons than a sword simply forged from a powerful metal.
The A to B thing is poorly worded, I believe that is what GG really meant.
In its simplest form, magic seems to give purpose. ))
