Memoirs of a Hero: A Warriors Beginning

[Solarized]

A lone figure sat in an old fashioned rocking chair, the type that creaked with every repetitive movement it made but would never be repaired no matter how loud it squeaked or how many pieces of wood fell off of it’s arms. The room itself was dark; almost pitch black, except for a small glimmer coming from a candle on a desktop in the corner of the room. It was here where the figure sat and seemed to be working. All around the walls were various pictures and weapons, which appeared to have been used, some still carrying the blood of its wielder on them. One particular sword hung high above the rest of them, the figures weapon, and it was this weapon which destroyed many evils in the past.

The figure himself was very old from first appearances. His skin seemed frail, fragile and sensitive but it made it clear enough that this person was indeed very old. His grey hair was very thin and there wasn’t much left, only those falling over both ear, leaving the crown completely bald. However it seemed that the years had been extremely kind to the man, his body seemed to be in top physical shape still considering his age and his balance seemed better then most teenagers. He had clearly spent his life maintaining his strength and he could easily live a normal life.

As he sat at the desk he took a pen out of a small drawer next to him and opened up a large book which lay in front of him. The book was empty except for the lines that had already been printed inside and it was at the first page where the figure began to start writing.

If you have picked this book up and decided to read it’s contents then it appears that I have finally passed on to a higher plane of existence, or plummeted down to the fiery depths of Hell underneath us all. Which? I do not know yet. However that is not why you are reading this. Is it? You want to know about me, don’t you?

Very well, I will begin then.

My name is Dusk Adams and this is my story………………………

I'll post my bio shortly. Just need to tweak Dusk's basic bio to fit in with the story.

 

[Mitsukai]

OOC: Changed the bio

Name: Julian Reign
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Appearance: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/Angel_Edge/JulianPeign.jpg (it's a bit dull I know)

Personality: Julian isn’t exactly talkative, but his curiosity can get the better of him in certain situations. He has great confidence in his skill and abilities, but then he won't go around gloating about them either. He can be very empathetic towards others without expressing his owns feelings, as he believes he must understand both sides of the story before passing judgement. He is witty, and in battle may sometimes let out a quirky remark or tease to his opponent. Most of the time though his content nature he shows towards others is a mask hiding his true feelings. At times he can be very pessimistic in his own thoughts, and shuts himself from the rest of the world.
The main reason being his thoughts, for example the omniverse and everything in it. What is true purpose? Just to be born, to breed and then finally die, only to pass on your genes to your offspring so they may continue this pointless cycle? Julian refuses this fate, and seeks to find a way to defy it and make a true meaning out of life.

Bio: Nolani, the spherical rock where Julian was doomed to live. Well in his eyes. Julian's father Dalmen was the younger brother to the king of Rumenisca, the capital of the planet Nolani and as expected from a capital to be the centre of attention in the Nolani Empire. As it was, being a member of the royal family meant that Julian received extra attention from the soldier training academy and quickly rose through the ranks along with his cousin Enwar, otherwise known as 'Prince Enwar the future king of Rumenisca and the Nolani Empire'. By the age of fourteen, Julian had reached the famed title of 'Weapon master' which, (as the name suggested) meant that Julian had received top grades in the use of all 'Primary use' weapons (basically the most popular and the most useful, eg. Sword, Bow, Axe, Gun, staff, lance etc.) and top grades in the use of 'Secondary use' weapons. (Kunai with Chain, gauntlets, shield etc.) Julian was pleased with himself, but still felt incomplete in a way.

As a Nolani weapon master, Julian had an expected level of expertise he had to uphold. In fact, all Nolani Weapon masters did. They were the pride and joy of the Nolani Empire and were one of the reasons why they were known throughout the omniverse. In reality, all Nolani soldiers (especially the ones who were trained in the capital) were exceptionally skilled with weapons. All soldiers were brought up led to believe that in battle they were nothing unless they held a weapon. These teachings disgusted Julian in a way, because it demanded how people were to live, and neglected the use of another important weapon that didn't necessarily exist as a physical form at all times. This was of course, the art of Magic.
Nolani was very fortunate that their skill with physical weapons was unmatched as an Empire; their disbelief in the power of magic had almost cost them a fair number of wars.

Nobody else in the empire agreed with Julian on his opinions, except one.
Sarania, Julian's personal tutor, and one of the most skilled female fighters in the Empire agreed with how Julian felt and they became close friends. As Julian's tutor, Sarania felt obligated to teach her pupil everything she knew to survive in battle. This included Magic. Sarania had been taught by her former tutor just as his tutor was taught by his tutor etc. It was secret, but it was a gift that Julian greatly appreciated. Unfortunately Sarania knew little about magic when it came to all its many forms. She was only able to teach Julian two kinds of magic, Mind magic (otherwise known as telekinesis) and incantations. Julian preferred telekinesis, and learned it quickly. He had poor skill when it came to memorising the words to an incantation. Julian used telekinesis in combination with his weapons and realised he could use it in order to wield a 'Giant's Knife' which was basically a giant great sword that only the strongest of warriors could lift. However they did not take into account the strength of mind, and Julian used the weapon as the perfect exercise tool for his skills.

Everything was starting to change, and Julian was beginning to see the world from a different perspective. He began to think that all he truly needed the whole time was magic. His mind soon changed afterward though, as news of an assassination attack on the king and several skilled warriors reached his ears. Julian had been awake, too busy testing his powers on any object his eyes would come across when an assassin attacked him too. Julian had defeated the enemy with ease, but it appeared others had not. Only he and another skilled weapon master had survived the assassinations, which were later discovered to be sent from a neighbouring planet. The King had been killed, and Enwar was appointed the new king of the empire. But none of this concerned Julian, until he was brought news of his tutor's death. That moment, was when Julian realised what had made him feel whole. His only friend, Sarania. Determined to defy destiny, and bring back his friend, Julian left the empire without informing anyone and set out on a journey to learn... To learn everything he needed to learn in order to fulfil his wishes. He has recently gained information of an energy, one that could help him achieve his goals and more. He has also heard of a prophecy, which fortells the birth of a being who is one with such an energy.

Extras:
Weapon/s: Julian can wield pretty much any weapon he picks up, but his favoured are as follows;
Flam berg~ http://www.aurorahistoryboutique.com/products/E000036_L.jpg~ this blade was specially crafted for Julian once he had reached the rank of weapon master, and is his favourite. It's light weight and perfect balance means that Julian can deliver lightning fast thrusts and can easily parry most attacks.
Giant's Knife~ the sword slung on his back in the picture~ this weapon is newest to Julian but one he is terribly skilled in using. He can barely lift it of course, but due to his telekinetic abilities, he doesn't have too.
Shock arm~ a long metal 'bracelet like' armband hidden on Julian's left arm.~ a more technologically advanced weapon, Julian has to charge this weapon before he can administer a blast of electrical pulse energy that deals more damage close-range.

Theme Song: Incubus-Wish you were here

(Yeah it's true that Dusk didn't meet any of the characters and so you would have to create new ones but with some of the more powerful characters who join it might be possible to alte their background to suit the story if you know what i mean. Like change their appearence but actually be them.)

Name: Dusk Adams
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearence: Though he looks like the occasional loner now with a stern look on his battle scarred face, it never use to be that way. At the age of eighteen Dusk didn't look anything like the person you know him as today, instead he was more of an tennage Harry Potter look-a-like if anything, right down to the glasses. He was a lot skinnier as well, though he had some muscel on him and he was slightly smaller as well.

He would usualy go about wearing all sorts of clothing. The battle armour wasn't a part of his wardrobe at this stage of his life. Dusk didn't really know the word style, putting any top over any pair of pants. Usually he would wear a white long sleeved t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans with some white trainers on his feet.

Personality: Dusk has always been shy of crowds. He's never been too pleased to be met with a bunch of strangers. Also unlike his normal straight to the point stlye of fighting he was more quiet and nervous during his fights.

Bio: Dusk Adams is probably one of those well known faces in the Omniverse. Probably not ranked alongside such beings as Ukiah Oregon or Valyon Lightstar for power or popularity but for acheivements and his never ending struggle to fight for good.

Dusk's story however starts 20 years ago, when he was born to a young 14 year old girl who had gotten drunk one night and not thought of the consequences. Dusk was born in a shoddy back alley hospital in Manchester, England and abandoned on the same night. As his mother left him he was left in the care of a poor english family, who brought him up like their own child.

In a twist of circumstances, Dusk's foster mother was unable to give birth having recently being diagnosed with cancer which prevented her form giving birth to any child. She saw the child as a god send and because of the time of day she decided to name her new son Dusk Adams.

As he grew up Dusk learned to "survive" in the tough and sometimes deadly streets of Manchester. He quickly taught himself various forms of martial arts, quickly learning and mastering various forms of martial arts and armed combat. At the age of 12 he had mastered kung fu, jujitsu and even drunken boxing. Over time Dusk was seen as a protector of the "geek" community, usually standing up to the jocks and the bad kids who wanted to have their own way. He would ocassionally get into fights on the playground, no matter who the opponent and bet them so badly they would change their ways. Dusk had taken his first step to what he would become today.

At the age of seventeen, after finishing college and gaining a somewhat advanced level of education compared to most teenagers his age, Dusk decided that he wanted to see the planet in all it's glory, in all it's wonder and mystery. Packing his backpack he set out first towards America and then hopefully beyond to every country on the planet.

However it was in New York where he first realised the evil the planet held dep within it's core. After just one night in the city Dusk was attacked by a small gang of thugs who wanted nothing more than the backpack he carried. They seemed serious but Dusk dealt with them instantly. Though the incident was easy to deal with it showed Dusk that the evil he had seen on the streets of Manchester wasn't just contained to that one city. The evil ws spread out across the entire planet, like a virus spreading through the system. Dusk realised that there were other peple who couldn't defend themselves and from heere on in if he saw someone in need or danger he would help them out.

Continuing across America Dusk came across many who needed help or protecting. They seemed too afraid to ask for help so Dusk would act out on his own. His kindness would usually result in him having a bed for the night or some food to take. It wasn't much but Dusk didn't rally want anything for doing the right thing.

A month after starting his trip he came to the U.S capital, Washington. It was here where Dusk's adventure would truely start. After a few days there Dusk received a text message from a withheld number. The message was short but straight to the point,

Come here if you want to protect the planet

It was followed by a set of co-ordinates which seemed like the middle of nowhere, the Amazon rainforest to be more precise. However Dusk was intruiged by the message. By now he had only helped only a few people out but it was clear that evil was all around and maybe it was nescessary to get some help to fight it. Grabbing his backpack once again h made his way to the Amazon rainforest.

After several months of travelling Dusk came across a small temple deep in the amazon rainforest. It was very old and looked more like a ruin than anything. Walking inside he was shocked to find what was there though. There he found a small group of warriors, who seemed like veterans compared to most other warriors. Dusk was greatly welcomed into the temple by the master, a young warrior called Reng-Shu. He had recently taken over the mantle of master after the past one had recently deceased and it was him who sent Dusk the text message. He had an offer for Dusk, to live and train with the warriors for several months though he wouldn't explain why until the training was complete.

Dusk accepted the offer, jumping at the chance to learn from such great warriors and stayed in the temple, for several months, proving himself to his strict new mentors and learning more techniques that would help. By the end of the training Dusk would've learnt every martial art on the planet.

At the end of his traing Reng-Shu approached Dusk and explained their situation. It appeared that these warriors had once all fought against the evil's of the planet and had won time and time again no matter how hard the battle's may be. However ver time it seemed that the warrior's spirit in each of them died and they began to believe that no matter how hard they fought they would never destroy the evil. Dusk saw that these past hero's had since given up, their belief in the world had evapourated with time, however Dusk was adament to continue where they left off. Seeing this determination Reng-Shu saw a catalyst which they could spread their message across from once again. His training finally complete Dusk was made an honuary warrior of the temple. Here he was given the symbol of the temple and what has become his now recognisable Valkrye symbol as a tattoo on his back. Reng-Shu wanted Dusk to go out and defeat the evil in their name, whcih Dusk gladly accepted.

efore he left though he was given an extremly powerful weapon which was kept safe deep in the temples unknown depths. This weapon was the one and only Valkrye sword, a sword whith emense power yet the grace and flow that would never be found with a weapon so powerful. The blacksmith that created the weapon had intended for a powerful soul to use it, but the warriors themselves didn't believe themselves worthy of such a weapon. He had spent much time and energy on the sword, decorating it with beautiful hand crafted wings which spread from the sides of the handle, wrapping themselves around the users arms while the blade was so thin that it could slice through any man made object. They all agreed that Dusk was ready to handle the sword and believed that he was worthy to use it in the face of evil.

Dusk left the temple with a new found purpose and mission. He now realised that evil, no matter in what shape or form, would have to be stopped at every corner and he would have to be on the front lines for every battle that occured. Slowly he would become known as one of the Omniverses secret heros, one of the few that managed to go unnoticed on their travels, but for now he would simply start off as a new warrior against the forces of evil.

Weapons: Valkrye sword. Dusk hadn't learnt his soul powers at this time.

OK, I'm using an old bio from an RP that just died over time, and I really liked this character. So now I've changed him slightly to connect him to both my future character and your character in this RP.

Now I just hope more people join this...
