APPROVED BY MIA-MOS!
This is my very first RPG, even though I love actual RPG video games...I've never actually been in a RPG online. I've watched my friend though, fma997, play them. By watching her, I think I can get a pretty good one up. Just for fair warning to all; I AM VERY COMIC! I use comedy to spice things up a bit, just ask fma997! Ok, let's get the sign-up started!
History
The world isn't perfect, life can't always be mended back the way it was. Some people search for fantasies to fix their lives, like the Fountain of Youth, or the Elixir of Life. Some people, even though very talented, can't help but chase feudal efforts. The land of Cro-An, a world where magic roams and beasts wander. Even with all their science and magic, and cure-all means, they can never stop death. Beings of immortality, like sorcerers and wizards can't even escape death, especially when it's on five legs and has eight rows of razor-sharp teeth. Even immortality is useless when you're body parts are torn and put into five different stomachs.
The alchemists try to create things like the Philosopher's Stone or the Elixir of life, but their efforts are usually in vain. Some are wise enough to accept that death will come to them, but majority of them waste their life by doing wreckless and unprofitable activities and stunts.
Even fairies and elves try to protect themselves by isolating their communities and cultures from the others, but death never overlooks the lone wolves. Natural predators to these races have always somehow adapted to the traps and magic of their devious prey.
To some, though, life is hopeless and so they find that they could only serve. This group of slaves usually commits themselves to the militia of Byfen, following any orders of war and murder. These people are pitied by some, but others scorn them and hope the military gets annihilated by death itself. But, the military usually never gets beaten and is usually the one who is dishing out the death.
But there are those who resist the military, but at the same time accept death as an option by their own hands instead of by the army. One mage knight, in particular, travels around trying to right the wrongs of the militia. He had studied in many areas, like magic and legends, but one legend caught his eye the most; the Treasure of Byfen, or Byfen's Treasure.
The legend of Byfen's Treasure goes like this; at the beginning of time, there was a man named Bysitius, who enjoyed life as it came. He was a thrill seeker; never giving in to physical weaknesses and restraints. One time though, he went a bit overboard and slipped off the side of a cliff. When he thought that he was at the end of his young, foolish life, a maiden elf crossed his deathbed and pitied him. She used her powers to heal his fatal injuries and took him back to her village. As they got to know each other, they developed affection, and soon got married. The name of the elf was Fendran, and it was said that her beauty was unmatched throughout all of the land.
After they were married and happy, Fendran bore a child, but the child was beyond beauty; it was said that the child was an angel. But for some reason, the child could never speak, and that made her a bit of an outcast. One day, the child was fed up with the slander of her disability, that she ran to the very cliff where her father fell and journied deep into its casyms, never revealing herself ever again. When her parents went looking for her, they only found a mountain of jewels, which when broken off, would regenerate into stronger crystals. This lead to a lot of advancements in magic and science, for the gems were great alchemic amplifiers and even enhnaced magic and were strong when infused with even the weakest metals. The girl's name? I should've said towards the beginning, but I saved it for now; her name was Byfen, and these crystals were called the Byfen Catalyst.
But the darker sides of science seem to try and twist this legend into grotesque, rationalized form of the original. They say that if these crystals were fromed by Byfen travelling to the center of the mountain, that something greater must be where Byfen is. Maybe even the power of immortality, but the powers of the crystals make it impossible to even escavate to the original entrance, making everything a lost cause. But it seems, that some people just won't give up; remember our little mage knight I mentioned earlier?

Too bad though, his son wanted to help those in need, and when he saw how the army treated those in need, he decided that the military wasn't an option.
After leaving his home, Stefan decided that he needed smoething to live for, so he researched many things, but the biggest things were magic and the legend of Byfen's Treasure. He read so much about the legend; always depicting every little detail in his mind, down to the minerals in the mountain that Byfen had wandered into. Although he tries to stay out of trouble, he can't help but aid those who are in pain from the militia. He hates them, even if his father is the leader of it, he stills despises them, and will never give in.
He had never hated his father, until he found a warrant for his death and execution by his own father. His heart and mind went blank, and all he could think of doing was resist the military even more, and make HIM pay.
