"so, the time has called us together, I fear that this may cost us more then it will ever be worth or known. I will be brief The lords have the lands thinks that the rise of bandits and that there is now a cult like religion, are threats to us all and must be stopped. I'd must admit it seems to be much more at work here, there are far to many soldiers being recruited or maybe its just enough to stop the tides of the possibility of war"

I'm debating on use of magic, if we do use it, it will not be super common and mainly only on the battlefield
people using/generating it will be limited to either special tools and/or abilities that cannot be spammed out

how many people are we looking at?

Right now, I currently have no limit, as far as I am thinking, It can just start off as 1x1 and if others want to join then cool. I have a rough story line thought out, but always keeping it liquid and in motion.

so one would be in the chinese warring period or is it more medieval?
What characters are allowed?

Chinese warring period, where bows are more common and guns have yet to see the battle field. although,if the story goes well enough, guns will be more around. Although I am open to any knights who wish to join the bash or pirates, But if your going to be of a Medieval theme, I would prefer to see the who and why they would want to be in that time frame of china. Sense Europeans was rare at that time, they would have to travel either thousand of miles by sea or cross like three mountins

I'm not so well-versed in the chinese warring period (Other than having read Kingdom and taking chinese courses) - but I believe imperial assassins were a thing back then (applying to men and women alike, i mean)?

Any reason behind it? - warring states are quite the unusual topic from what I have seen of the board so far.

Well, If your wanting to be true to history, An assassin wasn't special trained by imperial or by anyone, They was just run of the meal farmers that being allowed to only use rice sickles to kill who ever they was paid to. Do to the fact that 90% of the country side was just that, one could easily pay off one farmer to kill a person who had to be traveling that area and then skip town and no body know the wiser or if they get killed then your only out a few coins.

More or less for this story, I'm going to be lose with history and not be clung to historical facts, and be open to the fantasy part of it, such as the light use of magic. all that Matters to me is that everyone has fun and enjoys the story, if nobody wants to do it,then that's fine.

I never said no - it was just about clarification. The point is that female and warrior contradict themselves - so I would have to go with spy/assassin, specialized in infiltration and maybe a kill if absolutely necessary. Or you could just call her a guqin player/ 'entertainment'.

If any magic at all, small illusion magic or light body enhancement.
Weapon of choice, small blades or hairpins (also for throwing).

If you need a bio we can start in 20 mins after your answer. if not. right now ^^

To be honest from what your describing for your assassin, I wasn't really planning much on,but that is fine, I can work with that, in fact it gives me a bit more freedom.( also, I just saw where i was posting with the wrong character lol, oh well, I'll fix that later.) I will start a post in fantasy rp, section so that if anyone else feels its their fancy they can.

also, It will have magic in it, as long as it doesn't get too far out of hand

alright. I finished my char. Have a look at it and tell me if it is okay this way. (Plus tell me what magic she is allowed to take)

If your talking about useing Lanfen, she's fine, although her bio, is a bit murky and hard to understand. There is a lot going on in it. Not saying its bad, but just needs to be more elaborated on and smoothed out with more details. As far as magic goes, I'm not ruling out too much, I might have to do a case by case ruling on magic and how its used. The best way to think of it, if your character is using it, there needs to be a reason on how she is using it and to some degree why.

you can always ease your way into the magic part, I would hope that everyone would do that, sense that seeing character growth over time is one of the things I always strive for and push others to do.

sounds about right but.. extensive bios kind of restrict the player movements :N
I was trying to get the agent stuff under a cap without having her train in some secluded place ^^

I like the idea of finding 'personal' magic on the way. So I'll be starting with none.

could you link the start post here - so I can find it easier?

Well, you can look at it like that, but who's to say she not self taught. I mean assassin in general take their lessons from several different studies of the Asian culture, She could be just starting out and with over confident attitude find herself learning the hard way at times and easy way at times about being an "assassin" or "spy"

well she has been doing small stuff so yes - she is and will be.

Sounds good, the best way to think of magic in a sense, is that feeds off your physical self. The more you use and the more often you use it,the more tired you become, although, i was thinking of trying to add a like adrenaline rush, to the characters, like in many rpgs, like final fantasy have limit breaks and guages and ect, like moment where your characters has that like shinning moment, where they unleash a barrage or do things that is normally beyond their limit
