Coureurs Griffon (Griffin Riders)
A fantasy role-play set in medieval times in a different world
✥ Ancient Times
Before Georante was founded by elves, the lands were untame and mystical creatures roamed the wilderness. The elves came from the unknown western lands and settled in Georante. Humans came after them and soon dominated the entire land except for the northern mountains. Dwarves from the unknown southern lands and settled on the island of Euxaxu. A few decades after, the area was full of cities and towns and the kingdom of Fidelite arose.
✥ Bonne Sage Era 1350 B.G. - 2150 A.G.
The kingdom of Fidelite spanned across the entire land of Georante in the Bonne Sage era. They were good and wise, wanting the best for their people. To make sure nothing evil would poison their lands, they created a special order called Coureurs Griffon, or the legendary Griffin Riders. The Griffin Riders flew across the land on their mythical beasts, making sure everything was fair and good in Georante. To become a Griffin Rider you had to go through years of training and schooling until you were qualified enough to be one. The school for Griffin Riders was in Brisllîhe, a large city in the eastern sky lands. The students for this school were handchosen by the king and queen of Georante, the founders of Fidelite. The person chosen had to have a special talent for magic. This magic was used so that the rider and Griffin could communicate with eachother through thoughts. Griffin Riders were supposed to be strong, skilled, and intelligent people. They were known to be smarter and more able to use complicated magic than regular humans. The Bonne Sage era lasted for many decades until a rider named Xerxes finished his training to be a Griffin rider. He allied with the elves (a race that lived far up in the northern mountains) and learned the magic only a sage and ancient elf knew. With that power he turned the elves against the kingdom of Fidelite and the Griffin Riders. With the help of the elves he killed every last Griffin Rider and took over Georante to rule as a tyrant. He also turned against the elves and sent them fleeing to lands west of Georante. All the Griffins were killed with their riders, and the Coureurs Griffon no longer existed.
✥ Xerxes Era 2150 A.G. - Present Day
Xerxes was supposed to be a long time ago, but the ancient elves gave him the secret to preserving life. Xerxes learned that one baby Griffin still existed, kept on the small western island of Euxau by dwarves. He killed all of the dwarves on the island and seized the small Griffin. Now he is the only Griffin Rider in existence, and controls all of Géorante from the capital city of Maestion. Prophecies written in the anicent times by elves tell of a group of Griffin Riders strong enough to bring down Xerxes, but no Griffins exist now. Another prophecy tells of an anicent word of power that can undo Xerxes.
✥ Prophecy
(Translated from Elven language)
"Behold the syllables of power strong and mighty a group of riders must find each syllable, five but first they must find a den nearby and find their destined animal to be the first is deserted and blistering protected by scorpions and venomous snakes the second is cold and high hidden in a damp passageway the third is unknown and untamed once a kingdom that could hold it's own the fourth was once where your elders were hidden high up in the clouds the fifth is with the evil itself use these words and your mythical beast to overthrow the greedy tyrant "
✥ Magic
Magic in Georante takes energy to perform, depending on the level of the spell. When your character first starts out, they will only be able to use a couple small spells. As their understanding of magic grows, they will be able to cast harder spells and use less energy. A Griffin Rider can automatically use magic to communicate with their Griffin through thoughts. A Griffin and it's rider can feel each other's emotions.
Starting Spells:
"Karge Tulena!" - 'Light On', casts a glowing yellow blob above you to provide light.
"Tuevada Kius Zelv!"- 'Strengthen/Speed/Weapon', allows your weapon strikes to be faster and more powerful.
"Ralik Avkne Pagen!" - 'Calm/Peaceful/Flee', causes small animal opponents to stop attacking and flee for a limited time.
As you get stronger in magic, you will learn more spells.
✥ Plot
One day you are attending to your normal business when something catches your eye. You decide to see what it is, and end up walking quite a ways from your town. As you near the object, other people are gathering around the object also. The object was a glowing stone, and a prophecy sits upon it. You and the group you are with are destined to fulfill the prophecy.
✥ Rules
1. As this is supposed to be unmodern, you don't have phones and technology. You also wear clothes that are somewhat medieval. 2. No metagaming, godmodding, or power-playing 3. Grammar usage in your cs and posts are expected, as well as good descriptions 4. I have a basic plot line for this role-play, your character doesn't need to start murdering people :) 5. We start when I say so 6. Romance and cussing at your own risk, it's not my fault if you get banned 7. Obey me and admins 8. Just because it's not in the rules, doesn't mean it's okay 1. put 'why one' in the other section of your cs to show you have read the rules 9. No Mary/Gary Sues 10. You can die, as there will be a lot of fights and action in this role-play. If you die, get over it and make a new character 11. I am probably missing some things, so i'll make rules as I go along also 12. When you make your character, they cannot be royalty.. your character will probably be something like a farmer, clothes maker, etc. 13. We will start when your character has found the object in the plot
The admins are TheRealKhiione and ninjasquid1.

Name: Reth Jared Reed, though he normally goes by 'Red'. Age: The teenager is sixteen years of age. Gender: Male, of course. Couldn't you tell? Job (rule 12): Farmer. Well, farmer's apprentice as his dad expects him to follow his trade. Appearance: Never really bothering to actually find someone to cut his hair properly, Red usually does it himself, with whatever he can find laying around; whether it be steak knife, or mirror shard. As a result, his dark locks are asymmetrical, a bit longer on one side of his face than the other, which is jagged edges and strands. With his haphazard bangs, the boy has almost covered his entire left eye, and therefore cannot see from the iris unless he brush the hair back. As for the colour, well, it's where he got his nickname honestly; dark auburn streaks, shot through with the intertwining natural highlights of russet, copper, and ginger. A few weeks back however, he managed to get his sticky fingers on some berry dye, and has so dyed the tips of his bangs crimson. Lately, he's begun to grow a bit of a stubble, though he's not nearly brave enough to hack the hairs off with a shank. Not yet, anyways.
Oddly enough, Red's eyes are unnaturally bright; a electric cerulean-blue that seems to have the gift of piercing one's soul. Because of this, the boy is sometimes referred to as 'Bright-Eyes' or 'Lightning', though the names are less common as Red discourages them. Within his light irises, noticeable grey and gold flecks can be spotted, giving the eyes a piebald effect. His eyes are wide & expressive; like that of a baby seals which can make him hard to say no to.
Tall and gangly as teenagers often are, Red stands at 168 centimeters, or roughly five ft ten. However, this isn't exact as the human doesn't go in to have himself measured often. A measly 145 pounds, one could easily tell that Red doesn't hog his food, or overeat. As a main skill of his is running, his muscles are pretty lean, enabling him to be a good runner. Rather pale with just a pinch of creamy peach, Red is obviously Caucasian, as is his ancestors. He has a natural birthmark on his left hand, a small blotchy spot of darker skin. In addition, he has a tiny mole beneath his left eye; though not many people know of it, given his current haircut. Personality: Perhaps an unwillingly kleptomatic, Red has a variety of treasures hidden within his cottage room, all pickpocketed from the various officials, and even some of the other children. Given his current demise as being labeled a peasant, the teenager manages to remain optimistic and level-headed throughout the chaos. When it comes down to it, Red can be incredibly loyal; refusing to give up on a close friend even if they're past sanity. Despite this, he can be very distrustful of others, especially if they are offering him a uncertain deal. He struggles to keep a calm, and collected composure, and so often uses a 'poker face'. The teenager is also incredibly lazy and is constantly pushing things to the last minute. Lastly, when Red wants to be, he can be alluring and charming; leading to his gifted silver tongue. Biography: Average life, nothing tragic. Skills: Good with running, as he has fair stamina and speed, Red is also incredibly gifted in the art of stealing, as he is both silver-tongued and with sneaky fingers. A final ability of his is imitation, as Red can successfully mimic most males, and even a couple of females. Other: why one? --- Griffin's Name: Alekzender, often called 'Zen'. Griffin's Gender: Male. Griffin's Personality: Easily excitable, Zen is just a flurry of optimistic energy. He's incredibly playful and outgoing, and loves to express himself in odd ways; whether it be presenting a 'gift', or nipping on someone's clothing. However, he's also brash, and tends to rush into situations quickly, leaving it up to Red to pull him out. Griffin's Skills: The griffin focuses on speed and stamina rather than strength and defense. Because of this, he can be a hard opponent to land a hit on, and has seemingly tireless energy. Other: why one? |
