Gladiators of Eria
Story
The endless sand of Eria, an immense dessert wasteland. Home to raiders, nomads, slave Traders and Gladiator schools. Officially Eria is recognized as one Kingdom, but in truth it is split in many territories of raiders and bandits all taking their share of plunder. The Eria Kingdoms Capital city Ghaza is a complex of immense Temple Pyramids and poor houses in between, once located in a Gigantic Oasis now barren, poor and abandoned. Eria however is far and wide known for one thing, 'The Eria canyon Gladiator challenge! Every ten years Gladiator schools from all the far corners of the lands gather around the canyon, setting up camp near the canyon’s border. Spectators from all around the world drawn to the canyon for this spectacle make themselves at home in temporary city's set up around the canyon’s Pyramid stadiums. The Eria canyon Gladiator challenge is the biggest gladiator tournament in the history of Earmor and held only once every ten years. Every gladiator school that participates drops some of the best gladiators in their school in the canyon. This group then has to fight for survival, honor and eventually Victory.
Info & Rules
The rules of the gladiator challenge are very simple, each school drops a group of gladiators in the canyon, depending on the size of this group the gladiators have to gather 2, 4 or 7 Gladiator mark's of honor. Once all the marks are gathered the gladiators will have to find one of the five magical keys that unlock the Eria canyon gate, once the group passes the gate they are declared one of the five winners of the Eria canyon Gladiator challenge!
The Eria canyon Gladiator challenge once sprouted one of the eldest and grandest stories in the history of Earmor, your role in this RP is to crawl into the skin of one of the gladiators that made that story a reality. you will all be dropped into the canyon, experience the The desserts horrors and wonders and eventually you will be branded as hero and mark this world whit one of the grandest legends ever created.
You will all start out as companions in one of the largest gladiator schools in Eria the school of a human named 'Zorak Mumio'. Zorak himself has in the past won the Gladiator challenge five times in a row and is a living legend in these desserts, you as one of his most prised gladiators will step into his footsteps along whit your companions.
Note: Zorak treats all his pupils like sons, he goes on whit this school because he wants to gives slaves a second chance to freedom. YES, slaves. In this RP you ended up in the school the same way, slave trade. so you will have to include this somewhere in your character biography or something. It is the only requirement that your characters history must have.

The Lorepainter System
Just as a short explanation to how my Rps work:
You post your action, I tell you what happens.
Make sure to clarify exactly what you do.
Any rolls needed are done by me.
The Lorepainter system bases itself on one simple thing: Being easy to learn.
It has complexity and loads of material to create unique and fun characters, but at the same time it is very simple.
The core principle is to have as few Charts as possible.
In pretty much any system I’ve ever played in I’ve had to constantly ‘Roll on the Fear Chart’, ‘Unconsciousness Chart’ or ‘Cooking Eggs Chart’.
Looking up these charts in huge rulebooks every five seconds has always annoyed me, so in Lorepainter I try to have as few charts as possible.
And so far, we have ONE. The ‘Difficulty Chart’.
The Difficulty chart is applied to every action that requires a roll, deciding how hard the action is.
What difficulty an action has and what bonuses you get to your roll is decided by the DM, even though some specific actions will have preset bonuses or difficulties.
The difficulty chart and the setup of dice rolls can be found below.
Note that, as this RP is online, I will do all the rolls for you.
Also Lorepainter ONLY USES D6’s! That’s your regular dice, for those of you that arent tabletop gamers.
Multiple D6’s will though be used every once in a while.

All dice rolls are set up like this:
Melee Attack: Roll: (1d6 +4 from Preparation)4(8).
Green: Action Name Red: Number of Dies (Dice) Orange: Bonuses
Blue: Roll result without applied Bonuses Teal: Roll result with applied Bonuses
NOTE:
If you Roll a 6 on a dice and you have not reached a crit yet another dice will be rolled and added to the final result.
This can be repeated.
A dice roll is required whenever your actions are ‘out of the ordinary’.
For example, jumping over a cliff or climbing a wall.
Your actions also require a roll when they affect other players’ characters or NPCs in a hostile way or in any other way they would not like you to.
Of course, ordinary actions like talking does NOT require rolls.
Positive actions towards other players’ characters, like casting a healing spell or guarding them with your shield, still requires a roll as such actions count as in ordinary.
A dice roll is of course also required whenever the DM says so.

When performing an action that requires a dice roll you should never fully post the action, but only the beginning of it.
For example, you should NEVER post
“My character runs toward the enemy, swinging his sword at him and cutting off the enemy’s head.” What you SHOULD post is more like this:
“My character runs toward the enemy, swining his sword at him...” Once that is posted, you should wait for a dice roll to be made and for the DM to finish your action.

In the Lorepainter system you will see the terms 'Turns' and 'Actions' be used several times, so here's a short explanation to what is what:
An Action is, for example, attacking someone.
You have one action every turn.
But, if a spell says 'Lasts 5 actions' it does not mean that they are all YOUR actions.
This spell would for example end after you and four of your friends have performed an action.
A Turn, though, can contain many actions.
A turn is started whenever everyone has made their actions (even though a turn might sometimes be ended early if only a few people are missing).
So if a spell says that it last for five turns, you will be able to make five actions before it ends.

As for Combat and character Customization, Lorepainter uses a wide variety of feats and a simple Stat system. Also note that Lorepainter uses a set amount of hitpoints. They do though replenish themselves after every battle, unless you get some pretty severe wounds.
The feat list will be posted lower down in the character creation part (Even though the full one will not be posted yet, but revealed gradually).
The stat system, though, might as well be explained here.
The stats in Lorepainter are like a permanent bonus to roll.
The DM decides which rolls use which stats, even though some rolls have presets.
Some feats change which rolls uses which stats.
When a roll gets a bonus from a stat, the bonus you get is equal to half the amount of points you have in that stat, rounded down.
There are five stats.
-Strength
Affects melee attacks and (of course) your character strength.
-Willpower
Affects how good your character is at magic.
-Dexterity
Affects ranged attacks and your characters agility.
-Cunning
Grants no actual combat bonus but is required for a lot of feats.
Also works as your character general intelligence.
-Endurance
Increases your character hitpoints.
Base hitpoint pool is 50. Each point of endurance increases the hitpoint pool by 10 points.

In the Lorepainter system ANYONE can cast magic.
You might though be more or less successful depending on how many points you put into your Will stat.
BUT, you can also choose to specialize your casting by taking a stat in one of the three Casting Specializations.
The three specializations are Incantation, Channeling and Runes.

The Incantation feats grants access to Incantations.
Incantations are incredibly powerful spells that even at a low mastery level can cause great devastation or other effects.
But, once used they have to be restored. Restoring an incantation either takes a great deal of In game time or an incantation power stone.
And Incantations are not something that you just go around throwing at every rat you see.
For instance even a Master incantator only has 10 Rune Slots.
He might KNOW a hundred different incantations, many of which he has invented himself, but he can only prepare ten of them.
The first level of Incantation gives three incantation slots and allows you to learn ten Incantations.

Channeling is a much more casual form of magic.
Unlike wizardry, channeling allows you to tap into an unending stream of magic.
But keep in mind that channeling is not nearly as strong as wizardry, takes longer to master AND is VERY specialized.
For instance there are several types of Channeling, ranging from Elemental Channeling to Psychic Channeling.
And unlike the wizardry feat which is just one feat that has to be upgraded so and so many times you have to upgrade each type of channeling separately.
Channeling though a much more flexible playing style in combat.
Whenever you make a successful magic-related roll you active all channeling feats that you have, allowing you to channel magic without further rolls.

Runes are the secret behind summoning and shape-shifting. A rune is also called a contract with a spirit, and only one can be made at one time. Every spirit resembles a different creature and element in Earmor and making a contract whit such spirits imprints his mark on your body in the form of a tattoo, hence why they are called runes. a runes grants you access over shape shifting abilities which you can then upgrade at a level-up. They also grand you access to a summoning tree, these trees are unique to each spirit. an that note, summoning trough runes is quite different then one would think. The word summoning in runes means calling upon the power of the contracted spirit. this can have various effects such as summoning lesser creatures or even certain natural events.
As one last note before you guys make your characters, know that the system now contains character Levels.
You get 5 Stat Points and 1 Feat Point per level. I will grand levels both in combination whit some sort of an 'experience' system and when I deem it appropriate.
Character creation
Humans are a race born after the first Era of this world, they vary great in both looks and personality's. The humans quickly rose to one of the most powerful races in this world, covering almost two third of the known world with their empires and kingdoms. They are jack of all trades, good warriors and magicians and sometimes even better politicians and preachers.
Humans in Earmor look just like us. In Eria however where our RP takes place their skin is a tad darker and almost everyone wears long robes against the warmth.
Elves are an ancient race, they came to existence almost halfway trough the first Era. Their ancestors are said to be the 'angels' as we call them now, they did however lose their wings. Elves are very in tune whit the spiritual and magical world around them, many of them having a boon in magic and druidism. The elves have always been a divided race and they hold to their different faiths as if they were their own life, faith is almost everything for an elf.
Amongst the elves we can clearly see three groups.
[For 2 feat points the elves can get the feat 'blessed by nature' granting them access to special rune contracts and allowing them to have two rune contracts at the same time.]
Amongst the elves we can clearly see three groups.
one of these groups are the Tasianian elves. Those who follow the savior prophet, he who defeated the first walker and revere him as if he was a god. They are very strong in their beliefs that the void was warped into darkness by the voidwalkers themselves who saw the 'lesser' races as their play things. They are very strongly against the use of any kind of voidic energy's and have often been known as executors of users of void energy's. The modern form of this religion is in today’s society accepted by many races, humans being one of those. It is probably the primary religion of this world and today known as the Tasian Church.
Tasianian elves are probably the most elegant elves of all. They are often slim whit light tones of hair. Tasianian elves often have tatoos on either an arm or their back. these tatoos can range from prophecies writen down in the Book of creation to personal things. Tasianian elves also have very strong facial features and probably the most pointy ears you could expect from an elf.
Another group of elves however have a different view on the void as the Tasianian's. They believe that the void was corrupted by the touch of lesser races and that it should be purified, for years they preached the word of the old walkers, trying to get the other races to follow them, but they eventually failed. Most of these elves have tried in their life to channel voidic energies and purify them, but in known history there is only one who ever succeeded. Today he is known as 'the Reaped One'. Over the years these elves have been persecuted by the tasiarian's as heretics and betrayers to the Savior prophet who was believed to be send directly by the creator. They became generally known as Dark elves as because of regular contact with the voidic barriers their skin turned Darker, absorbing lesser voidic energies. The main believe of these elves lives on in the organization called 'The reapers' The rest of their races however has been consumed by hatred and feelings of vengeance, they became terrorists and practitioners of voidic sorcery. [Dark Elves are unplayable]
Another group of elves ventured into the great forest, in fear of the prophecy of the blackening, they prepared themselves by harmonizing whit nature and the world around them. They follow the Savior prophet just as Tasianians do and see the void as something warped and corrupted but also believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, and a hope to purify the void to it's former state. They call themselves wood elves.
Wood elves are less tall then any of the other elven races. they are more sturdily build and have many traits you would expect to see from people living their lives deep in the wilderness. many wood elves are fond of their sacred animal tattoos, thus they often have them imprinted on their shoulders and various other places of their body. not many elves ever wander away from the forest, and those that do are seen as outcasts and are rarely allowed to return.
The sand Orc's also called son's of the sands are one of the Orc sub-races. They are nomads and live in traveling tribes having survival as their primary goal. In the First Era the Orc's were created by the Dragons, as subjects to their Draconian priests or Isitrium. The Orc's have a very strong feeling of duty towards the dragons and were closely involved in the Black Dragons defeat. As The Isitrium the orc's see it as their personal duty to protect the dragons and keep The black dragon sealed away. The orcish race has brought forth some of the greatest warriors in the history of Earmor and will probably continue to do so again.
Orc's are a big muscled and proud race, their skin can vary from Dark brown to beige. Beige is the color most often seen whit the Sand Orc's. Orc's have on their shoulders and forearms little bone stumps sticking out of their skin, some speculate it is because of their draconian heritage though none know it for sure.
After the Elder Dragons the Isitrium are the very first race created, Their father was the mighty Isith, High Dragon of the walkers. Isith amongst his brothers ruled over Earmor and tamed it's lands, bringing order to the world. From that world rose the great Isith empire, whit Orc's and elves as it's main population and followers. The Isith empire was erected by the preachers of the walkers, who deemed themselves equal to the creator. Eventually the corruption of these walkers led to the twisting of the void and the orb of prophecy's. The orb was said to contain all the prophecies made by Tasar, the Draconian savior prophet who defeated the first corrupted walker and sealed off the voidic barrier whit his own soul.
The Isitrium are a Draconian race. They are humanoid in appearance but are sturdily build like the Orc's. They have the heads of their Dragon ancestors and scales cover their entire body. Some of the Isitrium are able to breathe fire, like their ancestors.
The Herges were the first race ever created, and were created by the Maker himself. They were supposed to be immortal, and so they would have if it was not for the intervention of the walkers. The appearance of new races, not created by the maker led to war between The Herges and these lesser races, many were wiped out. And as the generations passed, their gift of immortality faded. They became few and and up to this that there is only one Herges left from the immortal Days.
Herges are a lizard folk. they were supposed to be shepherd of the world, keeping nature balanced. It was there sacred duty and up to this day some of them still perform it to the best of their ability's. In modern society the Herges have integrated. There is still racism, but it has weakened immensely over years.

Herges Are lizards whit humanoid features. they are evry slim and agile and soft scales cover their body. they are mainly carnivores though some times they have been seen eating plants.
Nobody knows exactly when or how Megmarks came to exist in our world but many say that they are the children that came forth of the joining of Azeres, the firewarder (A Dragon and one of the first to have existed on Earmor, and sister to isith.) and Elos, the Tiny giant. Both of these were extraordinary masters in their respective element Fire and Earth. And so are the Megmarks, they are masters of Earth and Fire channeling.
Megmarks are a big, proud calculated and self-controlled people. They can stand up to 8.5 feet tall and have skin that varies from red to Orangeish brown. Some of these creatures have horns though not all of them seem to have them, those that do have horns are mostly females. Megmarks have very wide shoulders and thick forearms, making them look bulky and clumsy.
Picking your stats is one of the most simple processes.
You get 20 stat points which you can put in any of the stat fields you want, but you might wanna check out the feat list first as most feats have stat requirements.
Note that all stats start at 1, not zero.

Note that all stats start at 1, not zero.
To start out, everyone gets 5 feat points which you can use to pick feats from this list.
Tha Majority of feats will not be available to you from the beginning.
There are three Major Feat Types:
Combat, Magic and Survival
Combat are feats which determine which stats grant bonuses to melee and ranged attacks. They can be active and Passive.
Magic feats are feats that unlock new ways of casting spells.
There are three types: Wizardry (Runes), Channeling and Incantations. Some of these Magic Feats also support Magic in general.
Survival feats are feats that Help you survive out in the desert and are very useful when getting lost.
