War of the Gods

[.::Kill0_0Frosty::.]

One ring to rule them all... One ring to bind them... JUST KIDDING.
Story Setting:

The story is set in a Kingdom known as Azaria. We could say that it is modern as they have flying vehicles and other electronic equipment, mixed with a little medieval, but not really... if you get what I mean. No futuristic robots and none of that "I need a candle to get to my bed chamber" nonsense. It extends onto two other Kingdoms, which have its own Royal families’. There are 3 Kingdoms all together each with different people. The main protagonists consist of members of the three of the most highly ranked families in Azaria, the Beaumont’s in Azaria, the Von Lichtenstein’s in Durch, and the Constantine’s in Septium. Their feuds have been known to stem back to the very beginnings of Azaria. You can create your own characters as you see fit, but as long as they have either one the three surnames mentioned. Each family pretty much has their own castle, with a royal family, King + Queen Etc, and then it extends to Noble men and Soldiers, and maybe even the maids who get involved somehow.
The families have ties that date back to the very Gods who created Azaria, thus bestowing upon them extraordinary powers and abilities, which they develop at a young age.

Plot:
Azaria is plagued by attacks from Daemons and Corrupted Humans, who've become tempted by the Constantine’s who govern the Daemon Army. The only hope for Azaria is forming an alliance with the Von Lichtenstein’s family, who recently suffered a huge defeat from the Constantine’s. However, there is still hot blood between the two families, and neither family would risk their pride in asking the other for assistance. The Von Lichtenstein King is dead after the Constantine invasion, and the Prince of the Beaumont’s seems to have close, yet hidden, relationship with the princess of the Von Lichtenstein, but so does the Constantine Prince, which is unknown by the Beaumont Prince. However their hatred for one another has caused a rift not only amongst them, but their people as well. They must overcome their hatred and form an alliance, for the Constantine’s are soon planning a massive invasion, to likes of which would put fear in the Gods. The final battle will take place in Azaria; therefore all stories should cause your character to end up in Azaria, unless you’d like to wander alone. The starting point would be during the invasion of Constantine into the Von Lichtenstein Kingdom, so the Beaumont’s and Von Lichtenstein’s could be at the Durch Castle watching as the Constantine's approach, or the Beaumont's may be in their own Kingdom taking in Von Lichtenstein's as refugees. Whilst Constantine would be invading Durch, or still be in Septium perhaps planning their next move.
There may be more than one Prince or Princess in each family, but Kings or Queens are restricted to one each obviously. Not sure yet, whether Kings and Queens should be apart of the story, or characters that you can choose to be… let me know what you think.

Character Choices:
It doesn’t really matter if you aren’t a royal or noble. I’m sure every character I’ve listed can do something of value. Your abilities can be as you want them to be, but no God-modding. Try to stay within the Magic, Telekinetic, or maybe amazing fighting skills. Perhaps he/she can heal quickly. Limit your abilities to at least two. You can have the ability to cast fire + read minds or something like that, that’s fine.

Some information about certain characters:
King/Queen: Orders must be obeyed.
Prince/Princess: Able to usher commands to Soldiers and Servants.
Knight/Warrior: Semi-Royal. Instant fighting skill so only one other choice.
Noble/Advisor: Semi-Royal. Advisors should be in contact with King/Queen often.

((I'll add my bit later))

[.::Kill0_0Frosty::.]

|*|Prince Cronus, accompanied by his royal guard, consisting of four soldiers and two higher order Knights, all of which were clad in shining white armour bearing the Beaumont's golden phoenix crest on their breastplates, all walked briskly up the steps of the Durch Castle. They were left undisturbed by the Durch Guards, who stood at the sides of the steps, holding their spears erect in one hand. Cronus's red cape flapped behind him in the wind as he walked up the steps, his mind set only on one thing.

He pushed the two large entrance doors open and proceeded into the gloomy lit entrance hall of the Durch Castle. Without looking around, he made his way towards the large marble staircase leading to the better-lit upper levels.
"You there, Beaumont, Stop! How dare you enter the abode of Von Lichtenstein un-invited!" said a voice from behind him. Prince Cronus stopped, and turned slowly on his heel, "What do you think you're doing?" shouted a young man dressed in blue.
"I am Prince Cronus of Azaria. Word has been sent to Azaria, that the Constantine's are invading the Durch front. I have been sent by my father to reason with your King," Cronus said, his piercing eyes staring at the man.

"Our King would not speak to the likes of your kind, Beaumont! We don't need your help!" shouted the man. Cronus laughed, and then nodded to two of his soldiers, who immediately dispatched themselves from his side and "tended" to the man. Prince Cronus walked into the large council room, to find the Durch King surround by his advisors. Several guards stepped forwards towards Cronus, their deadly spears aimed at his face.

"At ease, men," said the Durch King to his guards. "My advisors' tell me you have been sent to aid me. Ha! Who would've thought that you Beaumont scum had the balls to overcome your gutlessness," said the King with a smirk. His advisors' laughed along. Cronus' eyes darted over the people in the room, until they stopped at the very thing he'd travelled all that way for. He smiled at the young lady, and then turned back to the king, his warm smile gone, "I came here not for you, Von Lichtenstein, but to ensure the safety of your daughter!"

The King seemed confused at first, but then a soft snarling echoed out between his gritted teeth, "What?" he roared, jumping to his feet. Cronus ignored him and turned back to the princess, "You must come with me... it's not safe here anymore," he said, his eyes revealing his genuine concern for her. |*|

[Keikoa]

Name: Keikoa
Age:unknown
Gender:Female
Family:House of Constantine
Status in Family:Hand Maiden
Special Abilities:Telekinetic
Description and Backround:


Keikoa grew up in a humble town, and when presented with an opportunity to serve the queen an king in great Castle she took it. Though she is not particulary proud of the Constantine ruling, she follows along,and does what she is told. She holds a great power, and uses it to her advantage in her job. Keikoa does have a dark side to her when her temper flares, but trys to contain it.

(I dont know if thats good enough, let me know and i'll edit )

[.::Kill0_0Frosty::.]

((Yep, that would be perfect. Sorry if there are any flaws i've never done anything like this before))

[Keikoa]

~Keikoa's finger nails sounded loudly, as she tapped them one by one on loudly on the overly large chair she was sitting it. It was uncomfortable with a high back, and no cushin what so ever. Her flaming red hair was pulled back with a strand cover her forehead. Keikoa sat very still, her brows pulled together in a scowl. She sat next to the princess who was talking loudly about something, she didn't even care to follow.

Keikoa's apron was ruffled from a day's hard work, and she smelled of cleaning products. It all annoyed her, everything, but not a moment of working for Constantine Castle was she ever ungrateful to those who had brought her from her humble beginnings. Though she had some times where she envied the princess, even so far as the advisor, but she was proud of who she was.

"...lovely isn't it?" the princess asked.

Keikoa was lost in her own thoughts about the day's work, that she didn't even notice that the princess of addressing her.

"Keikoa!" The princess said loudly and very impatiently.

"I... uh... Sorry my lady, what is it that you asked." Keikoa said turning slightly in her chair.

"Isn't this amulet that my love has given me very beautiful." The princess said pushing her chest out to emphasize it.

Keikoa looked at the very unattractive green heart that was hung around the princess' neck, "Oh my lady is wonderful."

Keikoa stood lacing her hands in front of her, and turning in front of the princess. "Would you care for something my lady."

"Yes, as a matter of fact I would. Tea or something like that please." The princess said.

Keikoa turned away and headed out of the grand hall, leaving the princess to swoon over her hideous amulet, with the rest of her air head associates. She pushed open the grand doors, that were engraved with golden ballerinas standing on their tip toes. She walked down the long hall keeping her head down.

Constantine was a grand castle in itself, but what it had became was a shame. Keikoa couldn't stand it, but she never wanted to be ungrateful and counted every blessing. Just once would she love to get away and see what the other castles were like. The king and queen would never allow that of course they were drunk with power, and the need to control.

As Keikoa made her way to the kitchen, she said some hellos to some of the royals in the castle. She walked from the dining room, all the way to the back of the kitchen. The kitchen as always was clean, and white. Expensive dishes were in the glass cabinets, that were on either side of the walls. The cooks, and head maid were all standing by the stove each tasting a pot full of a red substance. Keikoa walked to one of the glass cabinets, and opened it pulling out a saucer and a small tea cup that was designed with gold.

Everyone turned to see who it was, and the main cook smiled brightly.

"Why Keikoa seems they are working you today." The cook said.

"I don't mind much Ginger, its my job." Keikoa said shrugging.

"Always the optimist, did you hear about what is happening at Durch Front." Ginger said pulling out a tea bag, and a small pot filling the pot up with water and setting it on the stove.

"Yes i did hear, princess wide mouth told me all about it." Keikoa said grinning.

Ginger's loud laugh filled the room, "Yes the princess can be very talkative, don't you think its wonderful."

"If you call over stepping boundaries wonderful then i guess but personally i think its awful, so many people..." Keikoa cut herself off, and shrugged again and leaned against the counter.

"You shouldn't talk like that, it means that you would have a better life." Ginger said alarmed, but then trying to sound soothing to convince Keikoa.

"Yes a better life of serving. Ginger now that sounds wonderful." Keikoa replied sarcastically. "Sometimes i wish i wasn't here but i have no where to go so I guess i have to make the best out of a bad situation."

"My dear, now thats pitiful." Ginger said somewhat disappointed, and walking back to the ground surrounding the pot.

[†ÐårK-Уmøñ-Hûñtër·†]

Name: Zanvan Tarmikos
Age:27
Gender:Male
Family: House of Beaumont
Status in Family: Noble advisor
Special Abilities: Fighting skills + Telepathy
Description + Background:
He usually wears the Beaumont's black and red robes with the family insignia on it. He is very confident in his advisements, which is a strength but also a weakness. He is kind and accepting to new ideas. Though, winning in an argument against him is rather hard.
He used to be a Knight for the Beaumont, guarding the Royal family personally but was injured in a battle where his left kneecap was torn apart. Although it was replaced, the muscle around it still had to be built up. Which...takes awhile. Anyhow, so they demoted him to an advisor where he could still guard the royal family but wouldn't be the front line.
Above all, he is humble to the Royal family and would put his life on the line just as any knight would. However, unlike most advisors he still has a mind of his own.

( I think that's good....If it's not, tell me. And...on your powers Kill Frosty...Can that "Render powers futile" also refer to fighting skills?..because that's not really a power it's just a learned skill, just wondering.)

[Keikoa]

(I barely realized that i left my signature on sorry about that)

The light was almost blinding when Keikoa walked into the Grand Hall. A young girl about the age of thirteen walked toward Keikoa. She stopped trying to keep the several teacups, saucers, and sugar all balanced. Focusing on the rim of the cups to keep the tea inside helped to not spill one drop. The princess became testy when things weren't perfect. The little girl stopped shortly in front of Keikoa, then bowing slightly as if she were a official. Keikoa only smiled, and waited knowing the girl was very timid.

Amalia was the youngest servant that ever worked in Constantine Castle. Even though her age differed from the rest of the hand maids, she worked the hardest. Amalia was ambitious, but she was also frightened, and easily intimidated. Amalia was treated no differently as a servant, which Keikoa couldn't agree with in any form. Orphaned at the age of ten meant that for the rest of Amalia's life she would always be servant. There was no way for her to go, so from now on she would learn what it was like to earn her keep.

Her beauty was waisted on being a mere hand maid. The girl's long brown hair sparkled with the sun, as well as her shy eyes. Light freckles played across her face making her seem completely innocent. The rags, only showed how much more she was beautiful. Amalia was small, but she had spirit and determination, and it showed in her eyes.

"My lady requested that I was bought in to serve her tea to the guest, and that you prepare the rooms, for the guest that are coming." Amalia said her head cast down avoiding eye contact.

Keikoa bit back a insult, "Very well, you take this, and I'll get to work."

"Thank you Miss Keikoa." Amalia replied taking the tray, which rattled a bit, Keikoa focused more on the tea inside of the cups.

"Just Keikoa my dear, I'm as equal as you are, go along before, the princess finds her mood." Keikoa said watching as Amalia smiled quickly, and turned around to walk.

Amalia stumbled with the tray. A tea cup rattled, and Amalia lost her footing trying to use one hand to settle it. The cup along with a stream of tea, tipped over the tray. Keikoa put both hands out stopping both the cup and tea. Steam lifted from the tea. Amalia frooze her shoulders going stiff. Keikoa carefully guided the cup onto the tray, and stepped closer to guide the tea into the cup. Amalia turned around smiling mouthing 'Thank You'. Keikoa winked and smiled to herself as she turned out of the Grand Hall.

[.::Kill0_0Frosty::.]

((Well yeah and no, Demon, because when i say rendering a power useless, i mean like if somebody has the ability to suck the life out of someone, i can negate that. I think it's actually pushing the God Modding rules though))

|*|He stared at the Princess, her intoxicating beauty overpowering his senses and thoughts. Even from where he stood, he could smell her scent, he could feel the warmth of her skin. His eyes closed at the bliss at which was coursing through his mind. Fogging his brain with wild idea's, and removing the fact that he stood stared upon by the eyes of his enemy.

His senses suddenly snapped back, when he realised the princess had not answered him. He opened his eyes slowly, looking up at her, his features turning dark beneath his hood. A Knight tapped him softly on his shoulder, "My lord, I don't think she's allowed to speak...," the man had said. Cronus turned his head slowly to face the Knight. "How crude...," he muttered to his guard with a slight smile.

He turned back to the King, "Very Well, Von Lichtenstein. If your daughter is too afraid to speak in front of you, then tell me what you ask of me to do for you, so that you may allow me to take her from this... place," Prince Cronus said, his eyes dancing from the King to his advisors.

The King sitting in his throne of carved stone, sat down again, seemingly amused.
"Poor boy, at the beck and call of his master. How does it feel boy, knowing you are like a hound to your father? Forced to do your master's bidding!" The King said, laughing again.

Cronus' calm seemed to have come to an end, he drew his blade and advanced upon the King. The King held a hand up, holding back his personal Guard. Behind Cronus stood his own Guard, their swords drawn too. Cronus pointed his blade at the King. It's metal shining even in the dimly rit room. The familiar roughness of the handle felt warming in Cronus' hand.

It seemed to somewhat calm him and excite him all at once. His hood had fallen back, revealing his handsome, chiselled features. The light flickered in his Amber eyes, turning them red. "I am here at my own will. Tell me what you want me to do, so i can take your daughter away from this place of malice, or i will impale this sword in-"
"Okay-okay! Perhaps you are right in being so swift," the King said, leaning back in his large throne, and placing his short, fat hands upon his belly. "I ask of you... to go visit our dear Constantine's and see what their reasons are for this sudden disturbance in our peace."

Cronus lowered his sword and stared at the King, as if he had been slapped across the face, "I... cannot do that. We Beaumont's have ensured a treaty with the Constantine. We will stay away from each other's land, and as long as that treaty is intact...," Prince Cronus said putting his sword back into it's black sheath.

The King Laughed, "I know full well of this treaty between your families, but that is all i ask. If you can stop them, or find a reason behind their sudden... aggressiveness, then you may take her," said the King with an odd grin. Cronus nodded, glanced at the Princess, and then turned on his heel ushering a command to his Guard to follow as he left the chamber. The two soldiers he'd instructed earlier stood awaiting his return calmly at the bottom of the stair. "Where to, Sire?" one of them asked. Cronus placed his hood back atop his head and said, "To Septium, I am in need of a word with our beloved Constantine...." |*|

[Keikoa]

Each room in the Constantine Castle were built like they were made for one of the royals. A perfect view, queen size bed, and a servent assigned to each one. It was simple, the guest had it made. Keikoa was assigned to go into five of the suites, and change bed spreads, set champaigne in each room, and basically fulfill each and every need of the guest.

Keikoa stood back, and exhaled as the large quilts, and sheets lay on the floor. This was only the second room, and she was on a deadline. Placing a hand on her hip, and pushing her red hair back over her shoulder and sighed. No help had came to even assisst, she only figured that the princess asked her so it wasn't there job.

The Constantine family truly was ruthless, and self absorbed, and truly didn't give two thoughts about others. Power, thats all it was with them gaining more power and nothing else. Keikoa bent down to gather up beaded quilts, and sheets in her hands, and using a little of her power to hold them up without falling. She tried to refrain from using her powers, and only depending on own ability to do her job, but it was inevitable. In order to make it easier on herself, and sometimes others Keikoa used them to benefit the others.

Pressing her back against the door to open it, she walked out dumping the quilt, and sheets into a bin. Keikoa went back into the room, and just stared at it. It dawned on her that she was tired of being grateful, tired of working like a slave just for room, food and board. Keikoa wanted something different for a change. But what? That same question had popped into her head for years, and nothing ever came to mind. Scum, all of them, just scum.

After a moment of tossing the idea about leaving around in her head, Keikoa side. Keikoa blinked her brown eyes a few times as if she came out of a daze. "Dreams, are only made to dream... Never to come true." Keikoa thought, then set back to setting up the room
