Character Creation Part 1
Perhaps it was because you were only one person. One legend that managed to create the reputation that many before you desperately chased, especially at such a young age. You had seen the four corners of the entire world, fought countless monsters, demons, and gods.
The Great academies across the sea, in Summerwood, in Cheon and Gwan, all produced heroes, scholars, great men, and women who would forever be linked to legend and History. Their greatness came from the Empire of Yangho, whose armies and roads linked the entire world to it.
It was about to enter the second century of its golden age.
But in Iaban, the continent of your birth, it was far from the peaceful empire that dominated the continent's politics. The land too fragmented by the many cultures, many languages… it's many peoples.
But things were changing that made land rife with war. The Schwarzen empire of the March and Schland were mobilizing its forces north to Apria, and the rebellious, Romian lands of Vahlbury.
Emperess Elizebeth of the Folklands seeks to unify her father's kingdoms, after seven years of bloody civil war, showing no mercy to the brothers that betrayed her.
His Imperial Minister Zho Cao seeks to put an end to the Lilin Republic, after more than a century of coexistence, between the republic, and the Successor Empire of the West.
The Great city-states of the Talion people are holding an election to become a federation of Talia, to fight off the Schwarzen menace to the south.
And in Horopylia, a young king comes of age. His destiny written in the stars, and the sages, that he would conquer the entire world, with the Goddess Meria by his side.
But you are not one of the great kings, Councillors, Ministers, Republics or Emperors that will shape the continent in your own image.
You are just a humble hero, mastered are the ways of travel, of hunting, of scholarly pursuits, magic… of war and adventure.
Yet, your story and that of your students will be the ones who define the destiny of the world.

[]Select a Premade Character.
Where is your Academy?:
[]The Free City of Mergadia: One of the few independent regions within the Schwarzen client state of Kaplodia and the wealthiest city on the continent. Its wealth comes from its position at the connection of the three major rivers of the southern continent, and the taxation of the river traffic, the exchange of goods, and for being money lenders in the various wars the empire has partaken in. The Empires influence is very... noticeable here. Your academy was founded on getting even more money, and not producing great heroes that could protect the people. (Double Starting Wealth, Under the Authority of the City Council and thus, the empire. Double the Expenditure on Land taxation.)
[]The Lakeside City of Elkhoft: On the Banks of Lake Ashada, in Permia, there lies a city of peace, prosperity, and love. This is not that city. A town of drunks, debauchery, and sin, they just gave you the academy lands for free, thinking it would bring in more tourists. Unfortunately, you have to deal with drunks, and their reputation, from destroying both your academy and your reputation. (Disaster Roll increased by 10 until certain actions completed, You are not taxed and only have to pay for supplies to feed your students and staff. Getting well-paying missions will be… difficult)
[]The Fangshire Stronghold Igland: Deep within the Fangshire forest, there are the woodsmen who work the land, raise the trees, and chop them down when they are ready to be used. The Foresters of Igland see the academy as a welcome addition to their city, but they warn that the spirits of the forest might be angry if you build any more than they offer you. (Spirits of the Forest will prevent you from building until defeated or negotiated with. Highest quality building material now 100% off if you work with the Foresters.)
[]The Rotten Port of Nukvale: The Largest city on the Continents western coast, it is abundant in fish, trade, and problems. It is corrupt, its people living under iron handed ministers and magistrates, who leech the life from the city. But underneath it, all is a thriving underbelly that seeks to make those powerful, smart, or mad enough, immeasurable wealth. (Criminal element here, Students may be kidnapped and held for ransom. Access to Rare and magical artifacts, if you know where to look. Taxation... what taxation? Don't you mean bribes?)
[]The Small Country village Of Summerhold: In the Lands of the Angshire, There sits a small village in the valley of Kings. This place has been known as a quiet, quaint little town, known more for its sheep and friendly faces. However, it is beautiful, in tune with nature, and a perfect place to train the next generation of Heroes. (Out of the Way, Good luck getting many missions that aren't herding sheep or guarding from wolves. A Spirit lingers here, and it is happy to see heroes again. Taxes are small. The Wars in the North may come to this place, and you must choose a side.)
[]The Center of the World: Milthwaite: A city closest to the Geographic center of the Continent of Iaban, it has been a central part of the great legends of the past, from Gregor the Good, The Speaker of the Dead Lunius Cassius, and the sight of the great Temple of Meria. With such a place steeped in magic and in legend, it is the perfect place to train heroes. (In a holy site, Magic gets... wierd here. Temple Tax. The King of this nation might take an intrest in you.)

[]Shwazen: Great soldiers have always been produced in the harsh lands of March and Schland, where men are trained at birth to wield the spear, the sword, and the shield. From the age of 6 to when they are 18, they are drilled in soldiery, discipline, and strategy, along with agriculture, carpentry, blacksmithing, and architecture so that they can expand their empire across the continent, as to complete the Dream of their first Schwarzen king: Freidrik the Unifier, to unify the continent, so that they may live the rest of their days in peace.
Every Schwarzen strives to complete that dream, as it is their destiny to bring order to the continant.
Their leaders of the Schwarze Family have been known to respect strength, courage, and bravery, with much of its government centralized around the emperor.
They hate the Talian's because of the decentralized nature of their republics, and for believing that everyone is born free.
Shwazen: (+7 To Personal Combat, +4 to Martial. Rival to the Tallian and Romain culture.)
[]Romian: The Great Minds of the Romain only set their sights on greatness in all things construction. Through the great coastal cities of the Romain Confederation, Halnor, Raven helm, and Dragon's Tooth, great monuments and structures of stone, marble, and even the great redwoods of the Fangshire forests.
They exploit the resources of the land to build monuments to human achievement, believing that man needs to carve his own destiny without the gods. As they are small, isolated from anyone who would be their allies from the Schwarzen's, they band together in times of war, and even in times of peace, they are close as brothers to one another.
They hate the Rusanic's for believing that their goddess will save them from all ills, and not taking it upon themselves to craft a better world.
Romian: (+5 to Stewardship, +2 to learning, -50% to the cost and constructing buildings in your academy. Rival to the Rusanic Culture)
[]Tallian: The Great City States and Republics are your home, where the citizens of all walks of life, debate their issues, in public forums, where great councilors elected by the citizenry steer the ships of states. Amongst their greatest asset, their diplomatic ability is legendary the world over.
Their disunity, however, has led them to conflict and war with each other, as each ideology brings its own problems, and they all can't stand each other.
Even with all the conflict and strife, they believe that every man, women, and child are free to make their own destiny, and have an equal say in running the state, no matter how ludicrous their ideas may be.
It has led them to conflict with the Schwarzen empire, who view that freedom as unnecessary, and dangerous to the order they wish to bring.
Tallian: (+7 to diplomacy, -50% to diplomatic action cost. Rival to the Shwazen culture.)
[]Rusanic: As the Legend goes, the Great Lady Meria breathed magic into her people to protect them from the harsh wilds of an untamed land. Soon their powers grew, until they needed it no longer. But the goddess let them keep their gifts, for the coming wars and for her return. The mages here are not as skilled as those across the sea, but their power stems from nature… and nature the Rusanic's value more than anything else.
This attitude has led them to not build many great cities of stone and brick, instead, they made them out of fireproof ironwood and Greenwood, and raise great castles of earth and mud, and magic.
They despise the Romains for believing that mankind has a choice in the great problems, and can fix them. They believe only the gods can fix the problems of their world. And they will force anyone who says otherwise to taste steel.
Rusanic: +5 to Learning, +2 to martial, +1 to Health, +50% to the cost of upgrades in your academy. Cultural Rival to Romain.
[]Angshire: The Great kingdom Flokland was home to the great sheep and cows of the Iaban, which have fed the nation for centuries. Their fields are filled with dogs, sheep and cattle. In that sacred trust between land, cattle, and man, they have thrived. And in their such close bond, they speak to the animals themselves.
Their bond with animals has developed a system of animal and human representation between both species, with each animal voicing their concern about the fact they might be eaten by humans, and vise versa, which leads to very interesting conversations.
The Hantzu believe that the Angshire are possessed by demons and animals spirits from the east, and they must be cleansed before they are destroyed by those spirits. by murdering them.
Angshire: (Animal Tongue Trait unlocked, +2 to diplomacy. Food Expenditure halved. Rival to the Hantzu)
[]Hantzu: The Refugees from the east, they landed in Xunzhou, where they built their home. But the shadows across the sea, are where they come from, and in the shadows, they will always remember. And they will never be slaves to it again.
Since they are from the east, they have a distinct style of government and building, taking more after the kingdoms to the east, and having a figurehead emperor who lets the bureaucracy runs everything. And they believe the spirits guide people.
The Angshire dislike them because they are easterners, who have kidnapped them by the thousands to be sold as slaves for centuries, and who wish to eradicate them.
Hantzu+7 to intrigue, +2 to personal combat. Expenditure when all positions at the academy filled is set to 0. Rival to the Angshire.)
Every Schwarzen strives to complete that dream, as it is their destiny to bring order to the continant.
Their leaders of the Schwarze Family have been known to respect strength, courage, and bravery, with much of its government centralized around the emperor.
They hate the Talian's because of the decentralized nature of their republics, and for believing that everyone is born free.

Romian: (+5 to Stewardship, +2 to learning, -50% to the cost and constructing buildings in your academy. Rival to the Rusanic Culture)
[]Tallian: The Great City States and Republics are your home, where the citizens of all walks of life, debate their issues, in public forums, where great councilors elected by the citizenry steer the ships of states. Amongst their greatest asset, their diplomatic ability is legendary the world over.
Their disunity, however, has led them to conflict and war with each other, as each ideology brings its own problems, and they all can't stand each other.
Even with all the conflict and strife, they believe that every man, women, and child are free to make their own destiny, and have an equal say in running the state, no matter how ludicrous their ideas may be.
It has led them to conflict with the Schwarzen empire, who view that freedom as unnecessary, and dangerous to the order they wish to bring.
Tallian: (+7 to diplomacy, -50% to diplomatic action cost. Rival to the Shwazen culture.)
[]Rusanic: As the Legend goes, the Great Lady Meria breathed magic into her people to protect them from the harsh wilds of an untamed land. Soon their powers grew, until they needed it no longer. But the goddess let them keep their gifts, for the coming wars and for her return. The mages here are not as skilled as those across the sea, but their power stems from nature… and nature the Rusanic's value more than anything else.
This attitude has led them to not build many great cities of stone and brick, instead, they made them out of fireproof ironwood and Greenwood, and raise great castles of earth and mud, and magic.
They despise the Romains for believing that mankind has a choice in the great problems, and can fix them. They believe only the gods can fix the problems of their world. And they will force anyone who says otherwise to taste steel.
Rusanic: +5 to Learning, +2 to martial, +1 to Health, +50% to the cost of upgrades in your academy. Cultural Rival to Romain.
[]Angshire: The Great kingdom Flokland was home to the great sheep and cows of the Iaban, which have fed the nation for centuries. Their fields are filled with dogs, sheep and cattle. In that sacred trust between land, cattle, and man, they have thrived. And in their such close bond, they speak to the animals themselves.
Their bond with animals has developed a system of animal and human representation between both species, with each animal voicing their concern about the fact they might be eaten by humans, and vise versa, which leads to very interesting conversations.
The Hantzu believe that the Angshire are possessed by demons and animals spirits from the east, and they must be cleansed before they are destroyed by those spirits. by murdering them.
Angshire: (Animal Tongue Trait unlocked, +2 to diplomacy. Food Expenditure halved. Rival to the Hantzu)
[]Hantzu: The Refugees from the east, they landed in Xunzhou, where they built their home. But the shadows across the sea, are where they come from, and in the shadows, they will always remember. And they will never be slaves to it again.
Since they are from the east, they have a distinct style of government and building, taking more after the kingdoms to the east, and having a figurehead emperor who lets the bureaucracy runs everything. And they believe the spirits guide people.
The Angshire dislike them because they are easterners, who have kidnapped them by the thousands to be sold as slaves for centuries, and who wish to eradicate them.

Special Traits:
[]Homunculus: You are a creature that was born out of suffering and death of war, by a rogue alchemist trying to play god. Innocent lives were snuffed to fuel your heart, the stone that has caused you so much grief.

You are something both far better than humanity could ever hope to be... and also far inferior then they could possibly imagine.

But the gods do not care for reasons. You stained your hands with the blood of kings. (Diplomacy set to 0. One of the kingdoms of the Iaban will be sending assassins after you. The other kingdoms view you as a hero and will pay triple the usual mission reward. A Dark Mage wants revenge for ruining his plans.)
[]The Necromancer: It started when your mother died, you wished to see her one last time. It than became an obsession. You rose from the dead as a mad person, fighting evil with evil.

A few notes Subspecies, ages, and training level that may appear in your Academy, along with a few other things:
A Note on the classes age range and specialties.
The Classes will typically range from ages 10- 19, with the older students being more trained than others, with a few exceptions.
Students will not get a character sheet unless they prove themselves on hard missions, which will not be very often.
Younger students will also need to be cared for if things go wrong at the academy, like making sure they are being well fed, clean, defended if you are in a hostile area, especially if they are not trained.
Missions will provide classes experience, which will raise their rank, which will allow them to take more dangerous missions, or defend the Academy if it is attacked better.
Note: As the Headmaster you and the teachers are the first and last line of defense to the students if the academy is attacked by a hostile force. if you fail, your students will fight for their own survival, and if they lose, they will be killed and its game over.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Human Subspecies That may be your students, and other oddities.
Homunculus: Children made by alchemy, using the souls of their parents to be created. Due to their unique nature, they are much stronger then a normal human and are much more magically inclined than an average human as well. However, due to their artificial nature, they have strange appearances, like strange multicolored hair, different color eyes, and being able to regenerate from injuries if minor enough.
The stigma comes from a few mad alchemists destroying the city of Winterwilde five hundred years ago, with almost two million people being absorbed into a seven homunculus and causing the Schwarzen Waltz. All homonculus who are born must hide their identities (Which is a usually a mark on their body, of a dragon eating a sun) or are forced to hide in the woods or wilderness around their birthplace. if they are found, they will be tortured to death.
The parents of said children are usually barren parents who want a child and are willing to risk everything to protect them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragoniod/ Human Dragon Hybrids
Dragons are shapechangers, spending much of their time in the wilds to remain in their true forms, resting in their horde. But sometimes they... take the form of a human and.... engage in activities of the sexual nature.
A few months later, a scaly baby, potentially with a tail, or wings, is born. A baby that may turn invisible, breath fire, or fly. Most of the time in most other era's, they can live normal lives, with the added appendage being just something that they need to live with. However, with the looming wars and xenophobia, these children are brought before the local leadership.
Their existence proves a dragon lives nearby, and that it may begin to attack them. The fear always wins. The baby sometimes is killed, sometimes used as bait, or abandoned in the wilds to fend for themselves.
While armed men go to kill their parents.
Most do not survive those few months alone.
A few do, however, rushed away to the lair of their father and flown to an ally who owes them a favor, or to a member of their family who does not care about the stigmatization their family now has.
There are good people in this world, and they are shown that good, with many of those same scaly children wanting to show that good as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dryads:
The Forest Spirits that populate the woods and other natural habitats have only a few things they care for, the protection of their homes, the safeguarding of their young, and maintaining the balance of nature.
They do not reproduce like humans, with spirits being born through the planting, sprouting, and growth of trees and bushes, their populations fluctuating on any given year.
However, with the growth of civilizations, there is a worry that they will be lost, and the fear turns to violence against lumberjacks, hunters and other traveling folks traveling through the woods.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THe civilized Monster Tribes:
There are Two civilized monster Tribes that have friendly relations with Humans. The Orcs and Goblins.
Orcs are tall primal beasts who lack intelligence in the way of literacy, and magic but make up for it in strength and cleverness on the battlefield.
Most orcs live in fortified strongholds in the mountains and do not do much trading other than getting food and other supplies for the winter, in exchange for steel from their well made weapons.
Goblins are more of the mages and rangers, and the more socially acceptable group of monsters.
They are very intelligent but are weaker physically then every other species on the mainland, so they are constantly trying to improve their crossbows, magic and fighting ability.
Goblins live in small villages and cities, nominally falling under human rule, though they do suffer from a little bit of racism from their overlords.

The Prince
(Prince POV)
You looked at the man with silver hair with a frosty look. The red eyes of the man were filled with disdain, but the glowing red sword on his side was still in its scabbard, so you knew for a fact he was not in the mood for a fight. But the remainder of his body was cloaked in an illusion, a shimmering mist that showed nothing, and showed everything at the same time.
It was quite annoying.
"Aren't you a little old to be playing hide and seek?" You asked as the mans illusion broke, your sole eye narrowing as the mist evaporated. "Why not just make yourself known every now and then? It would certainly not be any more chaotic than the other heroes who make themselves known around the continent."
The man glared at you, his hand resting on his sword. "The affairs of this land hold little concern to me." The man's baritone voice replied. "And selling my skills like a whore does not interest me. Nor do I intend to take part in the request that has been delivered across the continent."
Ah, so he heard about that too. A crazy wealthy legend deciding to start an academy for heroes in the middle of a civil war. "You think that bastard can do it? Start an academy to train heroes."
"Heroes cannot be trained. They are born with their destiny written." The man replied. "Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool."
You crossed your arms. "And you think your fate is written?"
"My fate has not been met, nor my destiny. The man replied.
You unfolded your arms. "Well, I'm going."
"Why?" The man asked, "You are a prince with a nation who needs you, your fate is with them, not playing teacher to your lessor's."
The anger burned in your heart, but you did not show the emotion that he wanted to see. "No one is my lessor. Not if they have the skills to make it so."
The man than did something that made you crawl within your own skin. He laughed. "An arrogant fool as always. You have learned nothing since you lost your eye."
"No. I've learned that to change fate… you have to have the stones to do it yourself." You replied.
There was a chuckle again. "You think you can break your curse?"
"Yes."
"Than you are a fool." The man replied.
The man then disappeared into the mist, and you were alone again.
Dammit, old man.
AN: A little insight into one of the teachers you can hire.
