This is where you put the Info for Familiars that you want to play as. They are beasts that were effected by the Blessing and were changed(See Familiar Info for more about them) and can form links with a Gifted human, becoming loyal partners. Your Familiar character can be one that you can make for your Hero characters or one that is unlinked and can be chosen by another members hero character to be linked with if both agree. Info you need: -Photo: -Type of Beast: -Age: -Sex: -Powers: -Personality: -Linked or UnLinked -Where It can be found in Vern if Unlinked

Familiars were animals of Vern that were affected by the Blessing and became a supernatural version of themselves, with a new amplified body, 1 to 3 powers and human or slightly below intelligence. This Animals could bond with a Gifted human that has close Blessing energy with them and once a link was made, the two would be inseparable. The way to form a link was done through time spent together. In very rare cases, a Monster can become a familiar, but the only way to create a bond with them is through sexual acts.

The the event, called the Blessing, that caused a pillar of light to flood Vern with strange energy caused some some humans to develop powers or Gifts(See the Gift Info topic for more about that.) It also causes monsters to appear from strange rifts that appear across the world. A system was made where men with Gifts could join a Hero Guild in the capital City to be trained and paid to fight the monsters. A War Hero was made the leader or GuildMaster of the new Hero Guild and was in charge of picking new recruits and maintaining order. New Heroes had to be at least 17 to join and were paired with a veteran Hero to train under and go on a their firsts Quest with. Three training grounds were built, for new Heroes to train under veteran Heroes that they are paired with and for skilled Heroes to hone skills. A dorm was also built for Heroes to live in and a few meeting halls was also built in the city for Heroes to meet for Groups Quests to discuss plans. When the pillar of light that had caused the Blessing, which was still covering Vern in a invisible energy that was making some people that turned 14 get Gifts, started to change red, it caused male gifted to have Lust Rages, where the longer they went without sex with a woman the more restless and angry they got, till they go crazy from lust and go on a rampage to find a woman to have sex with. Sex with a woman was the only thing that could calm a male Gifted Lust Rage, but it would start to build up again after a while, making long Quests impossible. And along with that problem, more monsters started to appear. To deal with this, The king made a new rule that women(who in this world was thought of a weak and not fit for combat by most) with Gifts could now join the Hero’s Guild. They would be payed more, but they also had the extra job of going with a Male Hero or Group and taking care of the sexual needs of them so Lust Rages don’t happen. If they didn’t want to do that then they could not join. A Ranking system was also given to Heroes based on quests done and how well. Heroes with higher Ranking could get better quests and pay. Rank 50 was at the bottom and Rank 1 was the top Hero.

Thank you for joining.

That does sound a bit like this idea. I think I remember seeing the manga when looking for new ones to read.

A small lake at the north of Vern FarmLands, near the coast. It is used as a place for livestock to drink as they graze in the grasslands surrounding it.

A small Settlement near Weim Lake. Most of the people there are UnGifted farmers that grow crops in the fertile lands they live on.

This is a OOC chat to talk about new gift ideas if you have one you would like to add to the ones in Gifts Info Topic.

The land of Vern is a large landmass that is can be divided into 3 parts. The west part is the Vern FarmLands, the a thick forest called Wolfvine Woods at the south. The center is a Deep jungle called TangleMist and contains a large swamp called the Bog. The East part is a place called the Barrens, a area with freezing, shadow covered snow plains in the north and a blazing desert in the south.

Thank you for joining, @DreamsnThings.

Info you need when making your character. -Photo -Job -Name -Age -Sexuality -Gift Description(if they have one) -Personality -Bio List of Gift Types(More to be added later.Let me know in the Gift OOC topic if you have a idea for a Gift you want to add.): -Physical:The body of the person changes, gaining new physical abilities.

They have great strength and one or two more physical abilities. -NightStalkers:People that have pale skin that gets burnt by the sun and need to feed on blood from time to time to survive. They are a bit stronger then normal humans, but are much faster and agile. They can blend into and travel from shadow to shadow and turn their bodies into a black fog that can fly and change shape freely. They can also drink the blood of something to grow stronger for a time, depending on how much blood taken. -Slimes:People with bodies made of goo that they can shape freely.

Examples of this are: -Element Mages: People that can control one natural element of the world, like fire, earth, plants and darkness. -Rune Weavers:People that can weave energy to create runes. When placed on something, the runes cause a effect, depending on the Rune. Placed Runes draw power from the person that place them and can only be active as long as a person has the energy to do so. -Summoners:People that can create magic circles that pull things through it and into the world, like weapons, beasts and objects. Most people can only summon one type of thing, like beasts or weapons. -Wisps: People whose bodies are 2-8 inches tall and have become made of pure, living magic energy. They have wings that let them fly and have the power to bond to a person, giving them a boost of energy and 10-80% boost in physical abilities. Plus, each Wisp has 1-3 Magic Rune’s appear on their body when they are born, depending are their magic strength and the person when a Wisp bonds with them, has those Rune effects applied to their bodies. Gift Types can be mixed, but it is rare.

A village of Herders that raise livestock on the plains that surround them.

This topic is for basic info on the land of Vern.

Sounds good! And thank you again for joining.

Quests are missions given by the QuestMaster at the GuildHall, who is person that logs and rates all quests that come in. They be requests sent villager leaders via a SummonBoard(most village leaders in Vern have a SummonBoard, a magic paper like material that when written on and a rune is pressed, the writing disappears and a few minutes later the appears on a SummonBoard in the GuildHall owned by the QuestMaster.This allows for quick calls for help when needed) to deal with a monster that appeared or Gifted people that are causing problems. They can also be requests by the King or a noble when they need protection when traveling or a Gifted or monster is after them. Quests have a ranking system that shows how difficult they are, 1 being the easiest and 100 being the hardest, but the harder the mission, the better the pay and the better chance for higher loot.(Monster disappear when killed, but sometimes leave a part behind, like a eye, tooth or claw. This item can be used to forge a weapon or item that has unique features, based on the creature.) A higher difficulty quest needs more Heroes, the number decided by the QuestMaster.

Thank you for joining this club, @Starcry! As you can see, I’m still working on completing it and if you have any ideas that you think would make it better, please let me know.

-Name:Neki MoonShade -Age:28 -Gift Description:Black Panther BeastShifter. Can turn into a full Black Panther or a half human/half Panther form. Has enhanced physical abilities and senses. -Personality: Neki is Narcissistic, thinking that he is the second best looking person in the world, stopping often to admire himself in a reflection or to flirt with any woman that looks at him, thinking they are smitten with him. But thanks to his past he has a strong sense of helping those in need and will not hesitate to help anyone. -Linked Familiar(If they have one):Does not have one -Hero Ranking:39 -Gear(Weapon(s) of choice or Special Items they Use): A long sword made from metal infused with a special monster hide that lights into flame when struck. -Bio:Neki was born in the Farmlands to a pair of simple, poor parents. From a young age, Neki was entranced by tales of heroes, wanting to become one himself. But he was born with a weak body and a shy, timid nature that made him hide his dream of becoming a Hero deep inside. Then on Neki’s 14th birthday, when the teen was working in the fields he noticed a carriage on the road. It was heading for Rhyrm and from the look of it, was carrying a Noble. Has he watched, a wolf monster appeared in front of the carriage. The beast looked around in confusion for a moment, then charged to the Carriage. Neki was frozen in fear as the beast slammed the carriage, smashing it to bits and tossing the people inside to the ground. As the wolf moved over to one of the people, ready to bite down on them, Neki found his body moving, running at the beast. The danger was forgotten, as his need to save the person took over. His body filled with a strange power and he found himself changing into a black panther, his Gift awakening, as he tackled the wolf. He fought hard and beat the wolf, but was hurt badly and passed out. When he woke up, he found himself in his bed, bandaged and cared for. His eyes moved to the side as a chair creaked and he found himself looking at the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was so stunned he could not speak as she told him that she was the person that he had saved and that she had wanted to thank the handsome young Hero that had risked his life for her. She gave a warm smile at his shocked face, before telling him to get some more rest, as she stood and left. That encounter awoke two things in Neki that day. One was his Narcissist side, after all if the most attractive person in the world(to him) called him handsome, then he must be the second most attractive person in the world(he decided). And two, his desire to help people and become a Hero, no matter what. -Quest Status(if they are on one or free to do one):Free

-Name:Mark Fang -Age:39 -Gift Description:Wolf BeastShifter. He can turn into a half or full wolf and has enhanced, strength, speed and senses in his three forms that grow the more animal like he becomes. -Personality:He is laid back, but reckless and has a natural charm to him that comes from his polite, noble bringing and confident nature. -Linked Familiar(If they have one):Does not have one. -Hero Ranking:42, is a bit reckless on Quests, so his Ranking is low, despite being very strong and skilled. -Gear: -Bio:Mark was born to a noble, Ungifted family where all the members, except for the mother, looked at Gifted people as monsters. On his 14th birthday, Mark’s Gift awoke, causing his whole family to turn on him, abusing and insulting him for not being a Pure human like them. His mother, Holly, was his only saving grace, the kind woman raising him to be a good man despite the hardships, taking on as much of the abuse as she could herself. Mark loved his mother dearly and grew to hate the rest of his family, but kept those feelings hidden. The only other person that Mark got along with other then his mother was His mother’s personal Guard, a Bear BeastShifter named Luke(Mark’s family liked to hire Gifted to work for them, so they could rule over them). The man was a giant and a skilled fighter, but had a gentle nature, especially to Mark and his Mother. It was obvious to Mark that Luke loved his mother, the man lighting up when she was around, but he never made any advances. Mark’s mother also was attracted to Luke, the kind man so different then her husband, who had a temper and would take it out on her. But she held her feelings in to, afraid what would happen if her husband found out. But one evening Mark’s father, jealous of the way his wife treated Luke, beat her in a fit of anger. Luke and Mark came running at the sound of Holly’s scream and burst into the room to find her on the floor, her face and body bloody. Mark felt a rush of anger so strong the world went red and his beast side took over. He lunged at his father and unleashed his anger on him, beating almost to death. He only stopped when his mother weak voice begged him to stop, not wanting him to have the weight of killing someone, even that man, on him. His parents were taken to be treated and his father told the story how his crazy BeastShifter son had gone crazy and attacked both him and his wife. Mark had fled his home when his father tried to have him arrested, being chased all the way from Rhyrm City into WolfBane Forest. The people after him gave up, scared of the forest and thinking that he would die to the monsters in it. Mark was found by a group of Wild BeastShifters and taken care of. They taught him to fight and survive and 10 years later, the man traveled back to Rhrym city under a new name, looking much different when he left, to watch over his mother from a distance and to earn a living as a member of the Hero Guild. He has been doing that for 10 years now and has helped train a few younger Heroes, taking on a father like role for Zel MistRune and Leva Black. -Quest Status:Free for a Quest
