Lost in the Blind Eternities (Please Post in Alternate Dimension RP section)

What knowledge would you allow the right of widespread accpetance, and which would you erase from history?

This is an rp I would like to make but it is not necessarily based in Isiya and since the RPG/Text forum is locked i just posted it here.

Ok so I am making a little story with 2 main characters (Planeswalkers) that stick together through harrowing ordeals in a quest for knowledge. They try to find a map to an explored and dangerous plane known as Zendikar. This is based very much on Magic: The Gathering but due to the nature of a Planeswalker's abilities, they can travel to all kinds of worlds so don't be scared away just because you know nothing of Magic. If you want to join you just have to tell me what kind of magic you want to specialize in (i.e. mind magic, fire magic, ice magic, summoning, necromancy, etc.) and I will assign any number of the five colors of mana to your character (i.e. blue-black or green-white). Seeing as their are five colors of mana (white, blue, green, red, black) any kind of character will fit in, even if you just specialize in weapons and not magic. (There will be worlds based on video games if wanted. Anyone who wants to join this RP can make suggestions on where to go.)

More Planeswalkers can join but there will also be other charcters that join up with the main characters until they move on to a new plane. Any player can make a character that resides upon a plane but if you want to make a Planeswalker than I will help you with that.

Each Planeswalker must have a home plane, color assignment, and a weapon/magic of choice.

I will list the colors of mana and what their characteristics are:
Green: Life, Growth, Forests/Jungles. Green Planeswalkers revel in summoning powerful creatures, or swarms of smaller ones.
Blue: Wisdom, Knowledge. Blue Planeswalkers have a lust for knowledge and special in magics such as mind magic and counter magic.
White: Order, Honor, Civilization. White Planeswalkers have a feeling of honor and order along with loyalty to their allies. Their magic heals and augments themselves and allies.
Red: Chaos, Destruction. Red Planeswalkers are short tempered and strong. They use magics such as fire, lightning, and others.
Black: Death, Sickness. Black Planeswalkers are powerful and know what they want but will do anything to get what they want. They know magics such as necromancy, weakening of foes and augmenting of minions.

This RP will not have a posting max or minimum. I just request that when you post, you make it meaningful and not too short. I will say no one liners, though.

I will now post the two main characters for now. I will be controlling Lydia for sure but I may relinquish control of Shen to anyone interested.

Name: Shen
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Age: 25
Occupation: Planeswalker
Sub-Occupation: Elvish Warrior and Mage
Mana-Coloration: Green-White
Home Plane: Lorwyn/Shadowmoor
Guild/Clan/Tribe: Attempting to join Guilt-Leaf which turns into Wilt-Leaf

Appearence: An elf born without horns making him look human but with pointed ears.
~Height: 6'1"
~Hair: black
~Eyes: green

Clothes: Green elvish warrior tunic. Sturdy brown leather boots.

Weapons:
-A sword smuggled to him by Shen's father when Shen was exiled from his clan. According to elvish laws of beauty, an elf with no horns must be killed. Shen's father was the tribe's leader so he convinced the others to only exile Shen.
-A wepon that is 5 feet long and collapseable. It has two bladed edges each 8 inches long and sharp on the point and sides. The rest is wood other than a foot long handgrip in the middle. One of Shen's Kithkin friends helped him make it.

History: Cast out of hia tribe at a young age, he trained and learned magic and how to fight with a sword. He later befriended some kithkin who helped him make a weapon later on. He tried to sneak into his tribe's territory to talk to his father and rejoin the clan but he encountered a patrol. During the fight, a light spread across the sky known as the Aurora and the perpetual sun of Lorwyn turned into the perpetual dusk of Shadowmoor. When Lorwyn shifted, he had horns for the first time and he was accepted into the tribe. 1 year later, cinder's attacked while he was on patrol and just before he would have been killed, his Planeswalker spark ignited and he found himself in Ravnica during the festival of the guildpact. He snuck away in the crowd where he met a curious woman...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Lydia
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 22
Occupation: Planeswalker
Sub-Occupation: Dimir Mage
Mana-Coloration: Blue-Black
Home Plane: Ravnica
Guild/Clan/Tribe: Dimir

Appearence:
~Height: 5'9"
~Hair: black with blue streaks
~Eyes: dark blue

Clothes: Blue and black robes. Lydia wears a cloak she is never seen without. The cloak has a hood which she normally doesn't have on and the rest goes down to her ankles. She also wears silver dangling earrings made of etherium which shift in shape slowly.

History: She was a natural learner as a young girl. When she was just 10 years old, a Golgari creature was rampaging through the streets. Just before it crushed Lydia, her spark ignited and she planeswalked to the Alaran shard of Esper. She returned to Ravnica where she immediately enrolled in the Dimir mage academy. Now, as a grown woman, she uses her intelligence and looks to get what she wants. Unlike other Dimir mages, she is not good with memory magic but instead excells in mind, countering, and summoning magic.

Other: Her cloak is a whispersilk cloak. It is extremely rare and when worn (with the hood up) it makes the wearer completely undetecable through magic or any other means. Few people know where Lydia got it and even fewer know how.

reserved for first post

WRONG I am moving this to the correct forum. RP FORUM FOR RPS

ok. i wasnt sure what to do because it's not based in Isiya, though the planeswalkers may just pop by for a visit =P

Oh.... Hmm

I though Isiya was the planet?

so there are a *beep* load of planes of existence and Magic has a large amount of them. Planeswalkers can travel to them so technically they can go to anything with completely different laws and magic

In other words, Isiya is another plane of reality.

YES! SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!!!!! HA!

OOC: I am going to start this RP with a few beginning posts to get the story going. If you want to keep posting your arguments about planes please do it on another thread or on Path of the Planeswalker: Planeswalkers and others. Thank You!

IC:
The Blind Eternities, The Void, The Aether. No matter what you know it as, the place that connects all the planes, but lies outside of it have been a complete mystery to all, including those who traverse it. The Blind Eternites connect all planes of existence, no matter if large or small, natural or artificial. It seems like a place of great wonder and possibility. However, the Blind Eternities was not always known as a place of mystery, it was once a means of escape.

Long ago, there were creatures of immense size and strength known as the Plane Eaters. No one knew about there existence until a powerful Planeswalker was headed toward his home plane, only to find it slowly breaking up. When he arrived in the lane, the stars were all gone and the one of the twin suns had vanished. He looked about to see that the planet itself was slowly vanishing into nothingness. Just before he would have been killed, he left his home for the last time.

Enraged at the loss of all his friends and family, he pulled in the power of the Aether and his life force itself to cast an extremely powerful binding spell. One so powerful, it chained with all of the other Planes Eaters. The Multiverse would be safe from them, but he perished.

Now, someone plans to release, and control these ancient beasts of destruction for there own insane wishes and if they succeed, the multiverse may cease to exist with nothing but an Aether filled void.

But, a few Planeswalkers are about to stumble upon each other, make friends, and learn of the plot of this insane person. They realize that if they do not succeed, they will not even have homes to go to to talk of failure. They will have nothing.

OOC: redone first post so here is the firstpost of the story

Shen pulled away the leaves to see what was past the bush he was hiding behind. Another patrol of five elves passed by guarding a set perimter around their tribes village. Shen woul have to wait for a gap in the patrol if he was to sneak in. The patrols kept enough spacing in between each other so if anyone or anything tried to get through, either the current patrol would hear it, or the next patrol woul see it. It was extremely effective and impossible to breach. There was always an elf an arrow away from any would-be intruders. Shen let the leaves move back into place and he lied lower into his hiding place.

Shen was an elf, cast out by his tribe for not having horns. According to elvish laws of beauty, any elf with damaged horns or with no horns at all, must be killed. Yet Shen was spared for his father was the tribe's leader. Now Shen wished to speak with his father and try to rejoin the tribe.

When Shen was brought deep into the woods by guards and his father, his father managed to sneak Shen a sword before Shen was put into unconsciousness. With that sword, Shen learned to fight. He trained everyday in the forest, fighting the beasts and creatures that lived there and training his magic. Unlike the other elves on Lorwyn, Shen did not use magic as a means to kill. Instead, Shen learned magic to strengthen one's self and to incapacitate others. The other elves knew the sames spells except their idea of incapacitation was death.

When Shen grew older and became confident in his abilities of swordplay and magic, he vetured out of the forest and explored the wide plains of Lorwyn. He met and befriended a few kithkin and even a giant. Shen's kithkin friends helped him make him a weapon that Shen felt would be effective in combat. Shen dubbed it, the bladespear. It is 5 feet long and collapseable. It has two bladed edges each 8 inches long and sharp on the point and sides. The rest is wood other than a foot long handgrip in the middle.

Now was the time to advance. The next patrol was coming into sight and the previous was out of sight. To allow for the one second stall he needed, She pulled a string which tripped an elf. The others helped him up and kept walking. As they passed Sen's hiding place, he cast a spell. It caused the elves to fall forward softly and drift off into sleep.

Shen emerged from his hiding place, latched together his bladespear, and quietly moved past the sleeping patrol. He hoped he would get far enough into the perimeter that the patrols didn't see him, especially his lack of horns. There was a standing order to kill any elf with no horns, and Shen did not want to be the first kille by that order.

Shen moved silently past the next set of guards using the same tactic as last time. He walked past the unconscious elves and entered the outer reaches of the village. He took a moment to look around at his old home. But, that cost him the element of surprise because right then, someone noticed him and alerted the guards. Elves from nearly all direction surrounded him and unison, cast spells to kill him. Shen ducked down and cast a protective spell around him, blocking spells that would have hit him. The spells that missed, went right past Shen and hit the elves opposite of the caster. Now enraged, th guards moved in with their swords drawn.

Shen blocked, slashed, parried, stabbed, and got cut but he did not even think about not seeing his father. He ducked under someone's sword and hit him with a sleeping spell before blocking another sword. Eventually, seeing that Shen was very strong, the more elite elves came in and Shen's heart felt like it had been torn out and crushed. They had sent the Vanquishers.

Vanquishers were lethal killers. They are trained to sneak on foes or charge the head on. They prefer the former because then there is less blood. There blades have an extremely lethal toxin in it that kills in fifteen seconds, but it doesn't feel like that to the receiver. The poison slows down the victim's perception of time and for what seems like fifteen minutes to the vitim, but fifteen seconds for the attacker, they experience a pain so horrible, they tear their hair, their eyes, even their skin out in uncontrolled agony.

Shen backed away. He was scared, so very scared. He could only think of one thing, running, but he couldn't he was too scared. Shen finally managed to turn around and run but as soon as he turned, three Vanquishers stood face to face with him.

Shen thought he was going to die, and he would have, if a light hadn't chot across the sky, changing the perpetual sunlight into a perpetual darkness. Every creature upon the plane changed drastically save for the fae. When Shen looked down again after having looked up, the Vanquishers had walked past him like nothing happened. Shen looked round to find that noone was trying to kill him. Shen couldn't imagine what could have changed everyone. He reached up to scratch his forehead but felt something hard, and rough. He had horns. Shen was no longer an exile. Tears of joy welled up in Shen's eyes and he ran elated to the village leader's home where he found his father.

Later that day, Shen walked out of the village with a group of other elves for a patrol. Shen was so happy, so very happy. But that happiness would soon turn into fear because the once peaceful flamekin were leaving a path of destruction behind them as cinders, and they were headed straight for the forest.
