-=- The Story -=-

Once, when the world was yet trapped in darkness,
the goddess of Mana felled 8 incarnations of disaster
that guided the world to destruction, the God-Beasts,
with the Sword of Mana, and sealed them in 8 stones.
And, as the darkness left, the world was created.
The goddess of Mana turned herself into a tree, and fell asleep.
Many years passed...

Due to the actions of some who plot
to unleash the God-Beasts from the stones,
obtain power surpassing even that of the gods,
and to make the world their own, conflict breaks out
heralding the end of peace...

Mana is rapidly disappearing from the earth.
Even the Mana Tree has begun to wither...

AUTHOR NOTE FROM NOW ON

This RPG is made for those who have some experience with Seiken Densetsu 3. Therefore, if you are interested, yet you have never played the game before... well, the first option is for you to go look for it. The second option is to look at the next paragraph.

There is an entity called the Mana Goddess who, thousands of years ago, saved the world from eight incarnations of disaster, the God-Beasts, and they were sealed into large, horn-shaped crystals called the Mana Stones. Afterwards, she became the Mana Tree and fell asleep.

Nowadays, there are six main factions in power: Forcena, home to the Knights of Gold, Altena, lair of the Queen of Reason and her magician army, the Beast Kingdom, created by a beastman who was intent in having the rest of his people living safe lives, Wendel, who has been trying to keep peace amongst the others, Navarre, a band of thieves that used to steal from the rich to give to the poor, and Rolante, an impenetrable fortress that is known as the Castle That Never Fell. Three of these factions are trying to unleash the power contained in the Mana Stones, and so take over the world.

This RPG will need a minimum of 3 characters with different classes (and preferrably different races), but a maximum of 6.

- Fighter: A mercenary, squire, or merely a title-less warrior, these are specialists in the use of swords of various kinds.

- Grappler: A hand to hand warrior, they are strong and are able to attack multiple enemies at once.

- Thief: Stealing from the rich, and giving it to themselves, these knife-wielders are some of the fastest people you’d see.

- Magician: Controlling the power of the elements from their staffs, they can easily defeat enemies a weapon cannot.

- Cleric: Servant of the Mana Goddess, they aid their comrades through the use of healing magic.

- Cavalier/Amazon: Wielding a lance, these horseless warriors are very strong and agile.

-=- Races -=-

Humans: Your average, run-of-the-mill people. Can be of any class.

Beastmen: Humans during the day, wolves during the night; these are the beastmen. Usually covered with fur, even when normal, and their faces show their animalistic traits as well. Half-beastmen are just the same, only they’re more humanish.

Sprites: Special creatures naturally attuned to the Mana Spirits. While they age slower than most humans (to the point where, in their teens, they still look like children), they’re also less stronger than them.

Name: Alexhaur Silverclaw
Age: 28
Race: Beastman
Class: Grappler

Description: Alexhaur is tall for his age and is muscular built. His legs are long and atheltic and his arms are muscular built as well. His face is harsh and a short, brown beard together with a pair of yellow eyes decorate his face. His teeth are fanged and his snout a bit compressed, like it had hit a wall. His hair is a brown mess, which seems like it was last combed two years ago. He dresses in hard brown leather clothing with a thick vest, a thin woolen shirt and a pair of sturdy thick trousers. His hands are covered by bulked and much used iron gauntlets.

Special Attack: Force of the Wild. If his gauntlets are still on, he throws the right hand one on the enemy, aiming for face. Afterwards ( or in the beginning, if he has removed his gauntlets ), he charges at the enemy, dealing one-two punches at the stomach before launching a hard blow towards the opponents face.

Best skill: Strength
Worst skill: Spirit

History: Alexhaur was borned and raised in the wild. When he was too young to remember, he was kidnapped by a group of wild rangers. They brought him up as his own and he looked at them as his own family. When he was 18, he was told the truth. Alexhaur was shocked by this and ran away. He lived by himselves in the great woods and used his wolf-form to wander around the world for 5 years. He saw many things, and finally he learned who his parents were. They had died because they had joined a band of thieves. Alexhaur also learned that this was because they had lost their son. Alexhaur is now still wandering around, trying to find out what is good and bad in the world.

Can I join? Although I have never played the game, it sounds very familliar to one game that I have played and one game that I watched someone play and know the entire story about. The game I played was Tales of Symphonia and the game I watched someone play was Tales of Phantasia

Name: Celcius
Age: 52
Race: Sprite
Class: Magician
Height: 4'6"
Weight: 85 lbs
Hair: Silver to waist in ponytail
Eyes: Crystal blue
Build: Very light with a lithe figure. She is very, very thin which allows her to move quickly.
Clothes: A crystal blue kimono with a red sash. She has a chain of unbreakable crystals around her neck into which she can store mana to use for spells just in case.
Special Attack: Crescent Moon Stance, Frost Nova, Frost Arrow, Frozen Wind*
Best skill: Agility
Worst skill: Strength
History: As a child, Celcius was very sickly and weak. However, a cleric healed her of all her ailments and somehow transferred some of his powers to her. She learned to become a magician, learning very quickly a few spells that she specialized in. Even so, her best skill was agility which she used to develop her own attacks should enemies get too close for comfort. She created the Crescent Moon Stance for just in case use.

*Crescent Moon Stance-an incomplete fighting stance that uses high speeds and agility to deal damage to the enemy. Striking at pressure points on an enemy's body, Celcius can only deal medium amounts of damage if she strikes the targets exactly because of her lack of strength.
Frost Nova-a blue bolt of energy fires from her hands and strikes the enemy, dealing medium to heavy cold damage. Has a chance of freezing the enemy's clothes.
Frost Arrow-a bow of ice forms in her left hand. She draws back and a blue arrow of mana forms in her hands. She fires this as an arrow, dealing medium to heavy cold damage and temporarily freezing the affected area.
Frozen Wind-wind shoots across the battlefield bearing small ice shrapnel dealing light to medium light cold damage. No freezing.
