[BACKSTORY]
On the great landmass known only as the Mainland lay two kingdoms: To the west, the kingdom Thoros, ruled by the revered king Hyvin - to the east, the kingdom Yaros, led by king Runar. The two kingdoms split the landmass nearly in half, and were locked in seemingly eternal conflict.
This conflict would have a bitter end for them both, however; as the vast armies of both kingdoms met in the fields of Valagarr near the border, both kings were slain in the fighting - leaving no heirs. The two kingdoms soon forgot their external struggle between one another and collapsed into two shells of what they once were, ravaged by internal conflict.
In Thoros, a man going by the name of Thygar, claiming to be the son of the late king Hyvin, stepped forward hoping to take his throne. Hyvin's younger brother Hygolar spread doubts about the claim - whether because he truly doubted his claim or to claim the throne for himself, noone could know - but he, too, made a claim for the throne, which split the once-united Thoros into two separate factions. What started as small skirmishes grew into full-scale civil war, with nobles on both sides ravaging the land for their would-be kings.
For a time, it seemed as though it would be different in Yaros, with king Runar's only son claiming the throne as his rightful heir. He soon succumbed to a sudden fever, however, and nobody knew who the throne would go to next. In the chaos that ensued, a noble of the strongest family in the kingdom nominated himself for the honor, to which the king's nephew, Gregor, responded saying he would "die a million deaths before seeing that usurper sit on the throne". They raised their armies, sending the kingdom of Yaros into chaos.
While the two kingdoms were troubled with their internal conflicts, some rouge nobles from both kingoms saw fit to liberate lands near the borders of the two countries, in the great mountain passes and forests that split them. They were branded traitors, oathbreakers and outlaws by their kings, but are no less a force to be reckoned with. Rumors have also spread of other more mystical things happening in the forests and mountains, should you believe such things. The united outlaw force is only known as the "Free Brotherhood".
While the conflict between the kingdoms has temporarily ceased, the hatred between the two peoples runs deep even to this day, and should one kingdom manage to overcome its internal struggle they would surely wreak havoc upon the other.
This is where you come in. Whether you are a noble participating in the power struggles of either country, a thief seeking to profit from the chaos, or one of the rogues occupying the borderlands, you know this is your time to shine.
This is what is known to the scholars throughout the Mainland. There are rumors of great continents to the west, with dragons and ents and giants, while others claim that you will fall off the edge of the world once you sail too far. Only an explorer can unearth the secrets of the Earth.
-----------------------------
[RULES] (More may be added later, don't be a smartass on this)
1. The basic RP rules that you surely know. 2. >>>NO GODMODING<<<. If you godmode, an NPC will godmode you in return, and remember that the NPC will be backed by the actual god. Moi. 3. Don't be a jerk outside of the RP. Be a jerk inside the RP if you want. 4. Ask for permission if you want to kill someone or deal serious damage (Out of character) 5. Admins will have to approve your character sheet. 6. Be realistic. However great of a swordsman or however epic a bowman sniper noscoper you are, you can't kill 5 people with 1 arrow or 1v10 the greatest knights in the land. This is godmoding, I suppose. 7. This is a MEDIEVAL (light fantasy) ROLEPLAY, so no MAGIC FIREBALLS OUT OF EYES. This doesn't necessarily mean magic doesn't exist in this world, but you wouldn't know of it. Yet. 8. Listen to admins. Whatever they say goes. 9. Please only have 1 CHARACTER, which means we (the admins) will create whatever characters you interact with. If it's a really minor character then by all means create him, but don't play the king's lines, for example. 10. Have fun.

Name: Tsunero
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Status: Declared a noble by the king, refuses to be called a noble
Class: Pikeman
Weapon: Whirling Blades(weapon he designed and forged himself), and a steel dagger.
Armor: Steel breastplate, steel pauldrons, steel vambraces, and steel tassets. Leather boots and pants. He wears a chainmail shirt underneath the breastplate.
Possessions: His weapon, seven scrolls in a foreign text, and a stone tablet inscribed with two foreign characters.
Faction: Claimant Gregor
Appearance: Short beard and hair tied in a ponytail. Yellow eyes, scar along his cheek.
Personality: Quiet. Disciplined. Simplistic. Compassionate. Wise.
Bio: Tsunero hails from a land far away from the Mainland. He arrived on the shores of a small town in Yaros, on a small boat with worksmanship unknown to the village elders. On his boat, he carried an intriguing cargo: scrolls in a foreign text and a stone tablet inscribed with strange letters, but most interesting was a weapon wrapped in fine purple silk. It was a kind of glaive, only it had two blades instead of one, on both ends of the pole. It was nothing like any weapon in Yaros.
Tsunero lived in the village to learn the Yaros' common tongue, culture, and customs. But of his land, he has refused to tell time and time again. As gratitude for the village elders' accommodation for him, he served as a guardian. He later on travelled around Yaros, and became a bounty hunter, and an exceptional one. He mostly hunted outlaw nobles that opposed the king. Over time, tales of his combat prowess reached the capital, and stories of a man from beyond the horizon weaving death with spinning blades made it to the royal court. He was brought before the king and was rewarded for his service to Yaros with land, titles, and riches. But he turned all of this away for a life of solitude in the mountains. This, the king granted.
In his solitude, he was visited rarely by monks. But one day, he received a surprising guest. It was Gregor, a nephew of the king he met while he stayed at the capital. Gregor told him how Yaros has crumbled to internal conflict, how the king and his son died, and of Lanos, who seeks to claim the throne. Gregor sought followers to aid him in taking the throne, and invited Tsunero to join him.
Tsunero accepts.

| @Privatus actually you can't be from anywhere but the mainland. Sorry. Or well, you can say you mysteriously washed up on the shore one day, as long as you don't have any knowledge of wherever you came from. |
