Hi everyone! So, for everyone who prefers the Telepath universe to Hell Quest, I've brought back the formerly-dead Nation of Hubras RP from the Old Forums!
Backstory
Quote from: the random one
This story will take place on, you guessed it: the continent of Cera Bella. It centers on the nation of Hubras (Hubras is located in the north, between the area of Somnus and the Great Forest), ruled completely by Psy (can you see where this is going?) The Psy minority wedged its way into the political system of Hubras by "subtle persuasion" (mind control) of the people. The political system is utterly corrupt, with ministers and officials changing laws to their advantage. Psys are now the upperclass and can tell any non-psy what to do. The non-psys are obviously a bit angry about this. A few insurgencies came up. They were crushed, and the Psys (let's call them the Nationalist League) tightened the grip on non-psys. A few patrols of Detectors (basically people who can read minds easily) were put on to the street to weed out anyone who thought badly the government. This did not stop the rebels; their number grew larger every day. The government passed law after law, limiting the freedoms of non-psys in an attempt to put them in their place, but that did the exact opposite. The unrest is almost to the point of being a civil war by now. Aristocrats' houses are attacked and robbed, the government orders countless executions, and mobs become more and more violent.
NoHR takes place a century or so after TSoG, although technology hasn't advanced that much.  The Shadowlings are in anarchy because 'the officials in the government got killed in a quite explosive event.'

Factions:
The Nationalist League is the ruling party of Hubras.  Pretty much all of the Psys in Hubras are part of it.  It 'produces loads of propaganda to stay popular among the Psys and to attempt to keep the non-Psys quiet.'  They control most of the army of Hubras.  Some patrol the neighbourhoods to watch for suspicious people.
The Mechanics are a mercenary group who are mostly based in the Great Forest, east of Hubras.  Some frequently venture into the city to sell their goods to either the Psys or the rebels, while others remain in the forests.  They are highly-paranoid of the Psy government.
The Rebels are a group of citizens, some Psys, some not, valiantly battling the government of Psys in Hubras.

As for the rules, they're the same as your average RP: no character control, no invulnerability, no invincibility, and so on, and so on.
For simplicity's sake I'll use the same sign-up sheet as before.
Name: (obvious)
Race: (Human, Spriggat, Gelf, Scorpion, etc.)
Class: (Swordsman, Psy Fighter, Shadowling Guardian, etc.)
Affinity: (if non-Psy, pick the one that best describes your personality)
Faction: (see above)
Bio: (description of your character)
Skills: (special skills- keep it realistic)

I'm not sure how this will relate to the other one- does it take place before it, after it, or shall we just say the old one never happened since it got abandoned?

[spoiler=Character Profiles]
[spoiler=Bromtaghon]
Name: Osrie Anaca
Race: Human
Class: Crossbowman
Affinity: Shadow
Faction: The Mechanics
Bio: Osrie was born in Hubras and always liked stealing things as a child.  One day he was caught, but he managed to escape his captors and fled to the Great Forest.  There he was taken in by the Mechanics, who taught him how to fire a crossbow.  Eventually, he began manufacturing and gained an aptitude to building golem parts.  He dislikes the rebels for stirring up the city and making it harder to smuggle goods in, but he also dislikes the Psys for taking over the city.
Skills: Good with crossbows, can assemble/disassemble golems easily.
Attacks: Melee, Crossbow

Name: Reese
Race: Human
Class: Psy Fighter
Affinity: Shadow
Faction: Rebels
Bio: Reese was a former Ravinalian priest who liked to gamble. Eventually he lost all his money and was forced to flee north to Hubras to escape his debts.  When the Psys took over, he refused to join them and helped the rebels instead.  There he met Caitlin and Kayle.  The three were soon annoyed by the Rebels' inefficient methods and fled northwest to the Dragith Sea in hopes of summoning the legendary Mortiferous.  He mastered techniques such as Shadow Blast and Dark Vortex, and can manipulate small Dark Shields.  For some reason, he hates the topic of Shadowlings.
Attacks: Mind Blast, Shadow Blast, Dark Vortex, Dark Shield

Name: Caitlin
Race: Human
Class: Psy Assassin
Affinity: Shadow
Faction: Rebels
Bio: Caitlin was a former student at the Psy Academy.  However, after she was caught stealing a book from the bookstore, she was expelled.  She headed northwest to Hubras, originally to join the Psys in destroying the rebels, but after saving a wounded Rebel she learned the atrocities the Psys had commited.  She joined the Rebels where she met Reese and Kayle.  The three were soon annoyed by the Rebels' inefficient methods and fled northwest to the Dragith Sea in hopes of summoning the legendary Mortiferous.  In battle, she sneaks behind enemy lines and shadowblasts them, using Feedback to restore her health when wounded.
Attacks: Mind Blast, Shadow Blast, Feedback

Name: Kayle
Race: Human
Class: Bowman/Psy Healer
Affinity: Shadow
Faction: Rebels
Bio: Very little is known about Kayle.  He joined the rebels almost immediately after the Psy took over.  He eventually met Caitlin and Reese during a mission. The three were soon annoyed by the Rebels' inefficient methods and fled northwest to the Dragith Sea in hopes of summoning the legendary Mortiferous.  Kayle uses a bow and often enchants the arrows with shadow, but he prefers to act as the group's Psy Healer, healing Caitlin and Reese whenever they need it.
Attacks: Bow, Mind Shield, Long Shield, Big Shield

His loving father, the minister of trade, had been murdered by the rebels. He swore to find his murderers and rend them limb from limb. He would make them fear the name of Korsan...With this in mind, he left the psy academy with a small band of fellow black capes, seeking money (The Nationalist League pays it's troops well) or adventure, or simply going along out of friendship, each with a different affinity, and set off... for Hubras.

He can still think like any human being but he can't talk due to the scorpion's thick throat. Also, his Scorpion instincs play into his life occasionialy. Such as when he is trying to keep someone away, he instinctivly rears his tail up and hisses. Also, when he sees a rat, he just can't help eating it. Anyway, after the horrible experiment, the Nationalist League threw Criss out into the desert so he'd never bother them again. After a couple of days in the desert, he found himself being captured by the mechanics as part of their new military idea 'Animal Troop.' Anyway, Criss now finds himself in a cave being burned with a red hot poker by a mechanic dressed up as a Nationalist League member.

[spoiler=The Story So Far]
Seth (Steelfist), a Black Cape, reaches the capital and joins the Nationalist League.  He is assigned to finding a minor Rebel leader and heads to a village to do so.  Zack Arcon (Zackirus), a Tratenite, arrives at the same village.  Meanwhile, Mako Ker (Duskling) is hired by the Rebels to kill three rebels: Caitlin, Kayle and Reese (Brom.)  When he arrives, they have begun summoning Mortiferous, the Lesser Serpent; however it is not at the full extent of its power.  Mako then carries out his mission, killing Reese and kidnapping Caitlin, but Kayle escapes to south of the capital.  Realizing he needs more power, he hires Osrie (Brom), a Mechanic, to find the Violet Orb. 
Zack, realizing he was in Cera Bella (a mortal enemy of Traten), follows Kayle.  Meanwhile, a mysterious human named Rainen (rainen) throws a special shield around Reese, and he awakens, alive, in a cave by the Sea of Dragith.  Rainen then follows Caitlin and saves her from a group of Nationalists.  Meanwhile, Osrie finds the Violet Orb with the help of a mysterious Psy Hermit and his Teddy Bear (NPCs) and returns it to Kayle, although they were observed by Seth.  Kayle heads to the cave by the Sea of Dragith, followed by Seth, and is met by Caitlin and the weakened Reese, however, Mako has caught up with them again and attacks.  Having spared Zack's life, Zack then 'thanks' him by knocking Reese out, but eventually Kayle and Caitlind defeat Mako.  They tie him up and interrogate him.
Mako soon escapes and Zack falls out of a tree, knocking himself unconscious.  While questioning him, Caitlin realizes he's from Traten, but soon Seth arrives, knocks them out, steals the orb, and leaves with Zack following him.  Zack, Seth and Mako meet up near a clearing and Seth discusses the orbs.  His research gave him only one lead in his search for them, which happens to be Rainen.  Rainen, meanwhile, Contacts them and tells them to follow him.
Caitlin, Reese and Kayle discover that the orb has been stolen.  Caitlin reveals that she took Zack's crossbow, and, thinking he stole the orb, destroys it.  They soon decide they can't stay for long in the cave, and make plans to make a hideout in Lake Alto, but wait to see what Zack, Seth and Mako do, afraid of being attacked again.  Meanwhile, Rainen travels to the Psy Academy, where he stays for about a year.  Later, he recieves a message from a creature. Haunted by what he saw. Rainen uses his powers and jumps back in time so that he can do something about this creature.
A giant inhuman thing attacks the beach, killing Seth and nearly killing Mako (who escapes.)  Seth comes back to life as a spirit, seeking revenge.  Zack, meanwhile, is captured by people who have mistaken his identity; but he decides not to tell the truth in case they kill him for being a Tratenite.  Eventually they discover they have mistaken his identity but he is kept in captivity, where he meets Annabeth Krath (Zackirus).  She escapes using cryokinesis, but sets off an alarm.  Zack and Annabeth defeat the guards and manage to escape.  Zack and Annabeth then meet up with Rainen who is found in a coma.
Rainen wakes up and learns that Zack is from Traten, but not being of this world, he decides to help him as Zack's only goal is to get back home. The three join together and set off for Lake Alto where Annabeth's cottage is located. Later, Zack tries to buy a new crossbow, but accidentally reveals he is from Traten, the Nationalists then issue a bounty and hire Mike (Mikew871) to capture him. General Detore soon realizes the prisoners have escaped sends a letter to Mako Ker requesting him to capture Annabeth and Zack.  Meanwhile, Kayle attempts necromancy using Soul Charges in the Deeper Downs and manages to awaken Cerzak, Caitlin wipes his memory to prevent him from turning. 
Zack, Annabeth and Rainen reach Annabeth's house.  Rainen goes to meditate while Annabeth introduces Zack to her parents.  Rainen is then attacked by shadow creatures.  Nearby, in a cave by Lake Alto, Mike and Mako meet each other and decide to team up to kill Zack and Annabeth.   Seth floats to a cavern beneath the Psy Academy searching for orbs.

Do we start from the beginning?

Bromtaghon

As in, pre-the random one's Nation of Hubras? Sounds good for me.

This is déja vu from the first one.  No one really joined until, like, page three.

Should we start anyway? Or wait for others to join (if they ever do)? Nobody started to interact with each other's character until quite far in anyway, in the old one.

Bromtaghon

Feel free to start! In the old one, no one joined until the story had started, anyways.  I'm still writing my character's story.

I'm not sure about Cryo Cross considering he's an assassin- not that it's overpowered, it's just that it's not exactly subtle and sneaky.

IC:
Osrie glanced behind him for any passerbyes, then, content that no one had seen him, entered the grove.  He quickly abandoned the path and began weaving in and out of the trees.  Eventually, he met the path again at an intersection.  He looked around again, paranoid, then climbed over a large log, around a rock, and into a small clearing in the grove.  In the center of the clearing was a row of tiles.  Osrie looked around once more, then stepped forward onto the tiles.  Immediately, they slid apart, and he fell forward into an unlit tunnel below...

OOC:
Yay! Cliffhanger!  I was bored, so I made a picture of the above scene.

[/spoiler]

If you look VERY carefully you can see some distortion in the upper-right corner where I edited out the Hero and a tiny bit of the GUI.  I also combined the images for a Mechanic Swordsman and Crossbowman; in case you're really stupid or really sleepy, that's Osrie.

Seth, after many long weeks, arrives at the capital, and enlists with the Nationalist league. Black capes are in much demand, and he is admitted immediately. The local general briefs him in the political situation, and states that there is no need to test his abilities, as they believe the Psy Academy's are reliable. "But," The general continues, "we are not certain of your tactical ability. I understand you have the Sight? That is too rare for us to waste, but we aren't sure if we can trust you with a team. Fortunately, you brought a team of your own along. All you need to do now is pass a small assignment, to prove yourself. If you succeed, we shall accept you as a team leader. If you fail, you will simply be assigned to another team."
"And the assignment?" Seth spoke for the first time throughout the meeting; the general had barely stopped talking long enough to breath.
"Simple. You have to track down a small fry rebel leader. We would prefer it if you brought him back alive and relatively unharmed. We would understand, of course, if this is not possible. Do try to prevent the enemy destroying any information they may have inside the base, of course; the more the better. Now, move along – I have other people to see!"

Leaving the building, Seth heads to the northwest, contacting his team as he does so. We have an assignment. Our target is a small village to the north-west. Meet me at the north gate. We leave immediately.

It's certainly interesting as CraigStern's never told us what's beyond Cera Bella, but it's a nice twist.  Also, aleck has a K at the end of it, I think.  Also, what's platinum blond?

Zackirus, that should be fine. Even if it isn't, playing the RP for a while should smooth out any rough edges.

Is anyone else posting a chapter?

Bromtaghon

With a muffled thump, Osrie fell onto a pile of dirty rugs, breaking his brief fall.  He got to his feet and glanced upwards at the trapdoor, which had closed.  He smiled and looked around.  Osrie stood in a small room, bare of any furniture save the pile of rugs Osrie had landed on.  Though it looked empty, Osrie knew it had once been a Mechanic outpost.  Eventually they had abandoned it when a Psy had stumbled upon it by chance, and Osrie had claimed it as his own home.  He glanced to his right, where a small tunnel led into the darkness, and in front of him, where a tapestry was hung in front of the northern wall.

Osrie approached the tapestry, then reached behind it and pushed on the wall.  The 'wall', in reality a pair of secret doors, were pushed open, and Osrie walked into a small passageway behind them.  This room was even smaller than the previous one, with barely enough room for Osrie to stand.  In front of him sat a chest which took up most of the space.  Osrie knelt down and opened the chest.  He withdrew a few items from it, stuffed them in a sack, then closed the chest and returned to the main room.

Osrie entered the dark tunnel, carrying the sack behind him.  Soon, he was surrounded by complete darkness, though he knew he stood in a maze of poorly constructed traps and old barrels.  Having memorized the path, he made quick progress and eventually reached a set of stairs.  At the top was another trapdoor, which he pushed open.  Osrie climbed out, then closed the trapdoor and covered it with a pile of leaves.  Heaving the sack over his back, he followed the path west towards the nation of Hubras...

"Ughhhh," Zack mumbled regaining conscious, "my head".

Zack lifted his head and open his eyes. He was on some sort of beach. There was a gentle sound of the ocean behind him. Zack tried to get up but he didn't have the strength, his body was aching all over. He looked up and saw that the ruminants of the boat and the plank that he drifted on were scattered around him. He lay there for around 2 minutes before he left he had the energy to get up. His clothes were soaked and his crossbow was nowhere to be seen. "Whe...where am I?" Zack asked himself. He looked at shore and noticed it went on for miles. A nice grove of trees where he could sleep in peace was just beyond the shore around 500 meters down. But wait he thought before venturing to the grove, what happens if there are muggers. I have nothing valuable with me. Zack walked to the grove and took of all his clothes and set them out to dry. There was a small pool of water, enough for Zack for take a dip in. After his bath he went out onto the beach and gathered up materials that have survived; a water bottle, a slightly wet backpack, some berries that were growing in the grove, and a cool black stone he found on the shore. Knowing he would have to survive here for a while he started a small fire and sat in the grove eating some of the berries. He put on his clothes after they were dry and fell asleep.

His dreams were plagued by a nightmare, but Zack was too weak to remember anything.  

The Next day he grabbed a long stick and headed the opposite direction of the shore, assuming there was a town close by...
