The roleplay Celestial Alliance, originally born on the old fep forums, will be returning here. We moved to a free and smaller site because at the time, the forums were having page disconnect issues. A lot of players were losing posts, becoming discouraged, and the RP was in danger of dying out. Obviously those forum-posting problems are gone now.
After some discussion with the other CA members, we decided to move back. This is for two reasons:
1) Almost all of us are FEP members and would like to be active here. Hopefully this will also boost the site's activity.
2) We're looking for more RPers! If you're looking for a Fire Emblem-esque RP, please read more about the RP in the next post below. All are welcome to join.
Celestial Alliance has gone through multiple iterations, originally being tied to FETO battles and results. However, that is no longer the case. It is now 100% story, and done in the traditional format of posts. One difference that still remains is that I (Meneil) will be roleplaying more like a game/dungeon master, instead of a single character. I will also be putting events and characters for the players to interact with.

World Info:
The short version:
The roleplay takes place in a Medieval Fantasy world called Terca. Forty years ago, the world was ravaged by a terrible war, which destroyed most major clans. One of these clans was called Ragnarok. Although the territory and some of the people remain, the territory has fallen into local rule of the Celestial Alliance. Players will be part of the Celestial Alliance, and choose between the Luna and Sol divisions. Both sides will work together in order to complete missions, although each side offers a different perspective.
The long version:
In a world called Terca, humans fought with magic and weapons to make the land a hospitable place to live. Settlements were formed, and the beasts of the land were pushed back into the outskirts. Ruling families soon took over different territories, and were governed by organizations known as clans. However, humans were not the only race upon Terca. The humans constantly clashed with a native race, which they called Exodites.
Although the Exodites were similar in appearance to humans, the Exodites claimed to hear the voice of the planet. Despite attempts of peace and assimilation, their differences eventually lead to war. The Exodites inevitably lost, forcing them into hiding.
Exodites were nearly at the point of extinction, when the planet itself rebelled against the humans' rule. The sky was blanketed in a night which never lifted, which became known as the Eternal Night. Certain individuals 'awoke' as Exodites, and found their abilities to be frighteningly stronger than that of a normal human. A small group of Exodites, lead by the twins Ronin and Elminsc, banded together and waged war against all the human clans.
The major clans of Terca were Ragnarok, Sigil, Gaia, Libra, Suzaku, Gael, Resurrection, and Nexus. By the time the Exodites were finally stopped, only half of the clans remained. The Eternal Night had finally ended, along with the fighting. Nexus took the reigns of reconstruction, but even with newly formed alliances, there were too many people in need of supplies and homes. Forty years have since passed...
Local clans began to form in response to the people's needs. These clans act similar to guilds, in that they take people's requests and fulfill jobs. However, unlike guilds, the clans also have the authority on local laws and punishment.
In the ruined territory of Ragnarok, two local clans formed almost at the same time. One was formed from remnants of the old Ragnarok army. This group called itself Luna. The other group formed from civilians, who aimed to solve their community problems together. This group called itself Sol. Realizing that their goals were similar, and that they were all inhabitants of the same land, the two groups decided to band together. They called their newly formed clan the Celestial Alliance, but kept the two factions of Sol and Luna.
Characters who join this clan/role-play will be part of the Celestial Alliance. If you wish to be a character not part of the Alliance, please contact Meneil and discuss what you want your char's role to be.
Rules
We have loose rules to try and keep the RP fun.
1. Your post must be at least 3 sentences long. This is to give enough information for other players to respond to.
2. No godmoding or powerplaying. Powerplaying refers to when one player takes control of another player's character. You may only role-play as the character you created. Godmoding is creating an invincible character, more or less.
3. You are not allowed to kill or even hurt other players without their prior permission. (Except mine/Meneil's, because I'll be playing the 'NPCs'.)
4. Have fun! (I hope xD)
Alliances
The Celestial Alliance is divided into two factions, the Luna and Sol divisions. When joining the Celestial Alliance, players will choose to join the Sol or Luna division.
The Luna division was originally formed by remnants of the old Ragnarok clan. Most are previous soldiers of Ragnarok, or have experience with the old government. The Sol division was originally formed by Ragnarok's civilians. They formed in response to the people's needs, and work to complete community tasks. Although Soland Luna have banded together, as their cause is the same, they still allow some separation among their ranks. Below are the two factions and who is currently in them. When creating a character, you may join whichever faction you wish, unless the sides are uneven by 2 or more members.
Sol
Fredmir (Nikolas)
Speedy (2 characters: Ulric & Raine)
Sora (Kale)
Luna
Jac815 (Jac/Aries)
Math (Sakon)

Division: (Sol or Luna. You may pick unless the sides are uneven by 2 or more players. In such a scenario, you will automatically be placed in the division of less players)
History: (Minimum of 3 sentences. Who is your character? Why did they join the side they're on? Ect.)
Archive of Character Profiles
Username: Fredmir
Name: Nikolas
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Division: Sol
History: (Hm.. don't know if I'll make 3 sentences... I'll try!)
Nikolas has a shady past, he killed people that were believed to be his friends, broke out of jail and fought for some rebel army in another land. Even though he matured and now joined in Sol, he still hates authority and has difficulties following orders.
Nikolas doesn't care about other's safety when fighting, or whenever actually, he would even kill his friend Artea, if it gave him any kind of profits.
His reasons for joining the clan remains a mystery, he doesn't seems really interrested in helping the community.
Username: JacRipper
Name: Jac
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Division: Luna
History: A young man who knows not his place in this world as of yet. He lived with his mother until he was thirteen, when she took ill and died. Before her death, she taught Jac how to wield a blade and told him he was destined for greatness. Now, in order to find out what fate has in store for him, he has joined the Celestial alliance. He is now in the Luna faction, for the moon itself instills peace, and for the time being, that is what he wishes to do.
Name: Sakon
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Division: I guess I'll be in Luna since there's less members there
History: Before, Sakon was a good for nothing thug who passed his days fighting in the streets. That is, until his parents kicked him out of the house when he was old enough. With nowhere to go, Sakon decided to join the Celestial Alliance, since the only thing he was good at was fighting. There, he learned how to properly use a sword and shield, and became more disciplined, but he still only follows orders only when they get him to fight someone. Sakon is never seen without his two swords and his shield.
Username (for both): Speedy (EsricIX)
Name: Ulric
Gender: M
Age: 21
Division: Sol
History:
Ulric is a warrior without peer who's heart has been hardened by several tragedies growing up. Because of this he appears almost completely apathetic to those who aren't extremely close to him. With this rather cold demeanor he has developed most people seem to avoid contact with him unless it is absolutely necessary. He took up swordsmanship and also learned to wield axes in order to fight so that others (namely his sister Raine) will not have to go through the hardships he had endured.

Name: Raine
Gender: F
Age: 18
Division: Sol
History:
Raine is Ulric's younger sister. She is caring, optimistic and almost always gives others the benefit of the doubt. In a way she is everything her brother could have been if not for the events of their childhood. To this day she supports her brother and hopes to put an end to the conflict in the lands. She learned to use magic and staves in the event that she would ever need to assist her brother. Outside of combat she can be found beside her brother in watch of more Exodite hunters remaining silent unless spoken to as directed by her brother.
Shared Story:
Both Ulric and Raine come from a family that claimed to be descendants of the legendary Exodite known as Ephriam, because of this their family had soon became a target in one of the more recent Exodite hunts. A 16 year old Ulric managed to narrowly escape with his younger sister Raine as the extremists slaughter their parents. Devastated by the previous events, Ulric and Raine had no home and were forced to flee their home town. The two were awfully young for this task and were bound to fail until they came across the Celestial Alliance. The leader of the Sol division took them in and gave them a home, and though Ulric kept his distance from the leader he soon began to respect her and later chose to help fight for her cause in order to repay her for helping him and his sister...Ulric and Raine do not really know whether or not they are truly Exodites, though they do hope to find out someday.
