INTRODUCTION:
The year is 1910 in the country of Austria-Hungary and the various kingdoms within are vying for control of the Empire of Austria (Cisleithania) and the Kingdom of Hungary (Transleithania) as a whole.

Embroiled in a secret war are the kingdoms of Bohemia, Bosnia, Bukovina, Carinthia, Carniola, Croatia-Slavonia, Dalmatia, Galicia, Herzegovina, Küstenland, Lower & Upper Austria, Moravia, Salzburg, Silesia, Styria, Tyrol, and Vorarlberg.

This secret war has culminated into the Kingdom of Dalmatia, where combatants have gathered to claim the prize of the country for their victory. But victory does not come without a price... and the soldiers have paid a heavy toll for the power to participate in this otherworldly conflict.

Each kingdom has searched far and wide for those who bear "The Mark". Two have come to fight for each kingdom from nations around the world. Those chosen few have sacrificed their immortal souls in order to summon the spirits of "The Mark", each bound by contract to do their Master's bidding until the death of he who summoned him.

But there is one who bears "The Mark" who hides himself in the shadows and wields the Class of Emperor... awaiting the day that he can claim victory and snatch the country into his own grasp.

CLASSES:

Here are the different Classes. Each category of class adheres to a certain type, and within are two evil classes, two good classes, and three neutral classes. Also listed is a very vague example of their skills. You may add to a class's skills if you claim the character of that class.

Only one character from each class may be in play at any given time. A neutral character can become either good or evil at the whim of the Master. Choose wisely.

MARKS:

Each "Mark" is different and you will be asked to present what the mark looks like. It can be something of your own design or from history, though I do ask no offensive marks please (i.e. a German swastika). You must present the mark along with your character bio.

Relationships between bearers of "The Mark" are encouraged. They can be same sex or hetero, whichever you choose. They can even be over faction lines (i.e. an Evil character can hold a Good character in their thrall) if you wish.

CONSTRUCTING YOUR CHARACTER:

To create your character, you have various choices to make.

Country: First, you must decide what country to be from. Remember that there can be two people from each country. If you are from an EVIL country then your Class must be Evil or Neutral, if from a GOOD country than your Class must be Good or Neutral, and if from a NEUTRAL country your Class can be Evil, Good, or Neutral. Please consult the Country breakdown in the PLOT post and the Kingdom map above to find out what country you want your character from.

Class: Second, you must decide what Class your bearer of "The Mark" will be commanding a minion of. Once a Class if taken, there can be no other characters with that Class (i.e. The Emperor starts out taken, so no one can take the Emperor Class for themselves, except me obviously since I'm playing The Emperor's Bearer.). Keep in mind that you will be playing both your Character and their Class Minion at once since the Class is an extension of the Character's will.

Character: Third, you have to fill out my pretty little Character form! Actually, it doubles as your Character and Class form. Here you can add specific abilities to your Class minion (or keep other abilities secret). Keep in mind that I will need an image of "The Mark", a Character Image for your Bearer of "The Mark", and a Character Image for your Class minion as well. That's three images you must provide before I approve your character, as well as the other information asked for in the form. If something has a (YC) after it (YC = Your Choice), that is a space that you can CHOOSE to answer but don't actually have to answer (i.e. who does your character sound like). Keep in mind that your character doesn't necessarily have to have skills related to that of the summoned Class Minion (i.e. A police officer could have summoned the Scholar with his Mark.), but please do keep in mind that this is 1910.

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY FORM:

Please leave in the code tags as it will make things easier for me. If you DO NOT leave them in, I WILL NOT accept your bio.

CLOSING THOUGHTS:

I hope you all enjoy this RPG. I actually had a dream about this... which is what prompted my creating this RP. I thought it'd be a fun idea.
I think my sleeping mind just merged FATE/ZERO, Gosick, and Star Driver all in one and this was the result....
Anyway, enjoy and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
