Birthplace- unknown

Gender- Male

Age- around 13 years

Preferred weapon- the katana would be his weapon of choice, carried on his back as he's to short to have it by his side

He is short, strong-willed, and often underestimated by his peers. Taito also has a cheerful, active and competitive personality. He always wanted to become strong and avenge the death of his parents at the hands of roaming bandits, but his uncle always refused, forcing him to labour the fields.
While training on his own in the woods near his uncle's farm, he was hit by a dart that seemed to come from nowhere, his sight suddenly became blurry and darkness took him.

[txfirefighter]

Everyone is the Japanese town...

[1337]

Everyone is the Japanese town...

i wrote my background before looking carefully at the map...
so i thought my uncle being japanese, he had to be from Jun Huan.
But my parents were wandering merchants, so i was born somewhere on a tradepost

Character Creation-
Name- Eirikur Torvaldson
Birthplace- Etan-Vard (which by the way, sounds really strange to a scandinavian)
Gender- Male
Age- 17
Background- Eirikur was born as the son of a hunter, as many in Etan-Vard are. However as he grew he got mixed up in odd sorts in the locale area, and before long he were not using bows to shoot animals any longer, but axe, both of the two handed sort and the throwing kind to murder and enforce money. His father, know as Torvald Larson, was greatly dissapointed with him when he learned of this development, but when he raised his voice in protest the gang that Erikur was a part of murdered him, this happened when he was 15. When Erikur heard of this he entered a rage like no other and spent one year slaughtering his gang, with no regard of being discovered. The corrupt officials in the city feared that he would come after anyone with a connection to his old gang and thus tried to lock him in the city dungeon. Alas they failed and Erikur fleed the city traveling to the capital, working as a mercenary with his trusted axe. From here he traveled long and far, killing for his bread. Like any mercenary he tends to get bloody drunk after a battle, wasting his earnings. After one such night he awake at the story start
Preferred weapon- Two handed Dane axe and throwing axes.

Red text is out of Character, and I guess we better get this show on the road

As you wake, you feel your limbs stiffen, you are surrounded by strangers in similar situations to yourself and standing before you are black clad men, with Swords at their sides and strange devices in their hands, one is wearing a suit and seems to have no weapons.

He was in Beltrisa looking for supplies for one of the defense systems when he was hit on the head, knocking him out.He soon woke up to an unpleasant site...

Preferred weapon- His fists, but he ain't to shabby with a pickaxe

So what are we doing now, saying what we would do in this situation?

[henkalv]

do we have clothes and preferred weapons?

[SodimizinPanda]

i am assuming we were stripped of our weapons however the narrator must clarify before we continue

[Blxz]

Since my guy had no weapons when he was attacked anyway its no matter to me.

I, Ebashi, stand up and check the exits. As they all appear to be guarded I notice my other companions. Noticing a few different peoples and races I edge my way over towards to big burly Pavol-onian. They are rumoured to be fierce fist-fighters and this situation may degenerate quickly and some backup in a fight may be handy to survival.

Otherwise i remain silent and begin to study the unarmed suited man while watching my back. He will speak of his own accord when he is well and ready.

[SodimizinPanda]

Then ill carry on then lol

Awoken by the shuffling of feet and hushed voices, I slowly rise to see where I am. I feel a war drum banging in my head and feel dried blood from the source of the pain. I notice 2 teenagers from my town here, one is awake and seems to be anticipating something.

I put my back against the wall and analyze the others in the room. Not much chance escaping this place on my own. I'll keep my eyes on the little one in hopes of a sign or something to make out this mess. I wonder if this had something to do with the Rite of Passage.... 'Die a disgraceful fools death'. Hmph i guess we'll just have to see...

[txfirefighter]

I rotate my head and see another boy from my town. The pain is unrelenting and makes it hard to keep my eyes open for long. I get up and stand near my townmate and wait; studying the men standing in the room with us. The unarmed man is quite interesting.
