Tales of Phantasia-A New Beginning [Open]

[bass]

(Ok the general idea of the RP is that you can be whoever you want, you can role-play as Kratos, as whoever. You do not have to be just 1 character, you can be many. However, to avoid confusion it is advisory that you keep the format of:

[name]
[place]

just separate the sections to avoid confusion. It will kind of be similar to a main RP except it has to be from the Tales games. Namely, you can pick from Tales of Phantasia, and anyone from Derris Kharlan.)

[Dhaos]
[Derris Kharlan]

"My people..." Dhaos said as he walked through the barren streets of Derris Kharlan. The wreckage was catastrophic...there were bodies laying everywhere and absolutely no form of life left anywhere for the half-elfs. It had been 4000 years ago when a similar attack had occured and Dhaos shed a small tear at the memory of his only wife that had died 4000 years ago from that attack.

Dhaos, the great leader of Derris Kharlan, had a loss for words at what has happened to his people. Ever since the Yggdrasil incident 4000 years ago with Lloyd Irving & his meddling group draining the supply of mana from Derris Kharlan, & the murder of Mithos Yggdrasil, Dhaos had been the leader of the new planet. The new planet was once again in a large downfall of mana and the supply was low. Yet it was weird...there was no sense of explanation on who caused the attack.

Dhaos walked through the streets of his home and looked for any signs of hope left on Derris Kharlan. He could not help but cry at the thousands of bodies that lay dead before him. Women, & children all dead. "I will find whoever has done this to my people...I will restore Derris Kharlan..." Dhaos vowed to himself.

Dhaos looked up & saw through the fires a human figure in a cape carrying a sword. "YOU! WHO ARE YOU!?" Dhaos demanded towards the figure. The figure said nothing and simply vanished into the flames. Dhaos tried to follow the figure, but was stopped immediately by a collapsing building. "There is only one way for me to get the mana for my people." Dhaos thought to himself. Dhaos ran back to his palace which was in ruins & ran to a nearby computer terminal. He noticed that on the terminal there was a plentiful supply of mana on Earth's planet. "So there maybe still is some hope..." Dhaos said to himself. With that he vanished towards Earth.

Several years later...

Dhaos's armies had built-up & the war with Midgard was about to begin...

(Ok...I kind of want to keep it close to the story, but you have flexibility on who you want to be. You can add in Kratos Aurion & do his perspective, you can write the story from Cless Alvein's perspective, your choice.)

[AurionTobi]

[[Cless Alvein]]
[[Forest Outside of Village]]

"What a beautiful day..." Sunlight filtered down through the tree tops, dancing across the leaves and bushes on the forest floor. "Looks like its gonna be a good day for hunting." Cless commented, looking over at his best friend Chester.

"Yeah." A bit absent mindedly, Chester ran a finger over his bow's drawstring. Maybe today we'll find that huge boar the villagers were talking about earlier. That thing has enough meat on it to last for weeks!" He chuckled slightly.

"Well speak of the devil...Look over there Chester." Something was rustling in the bushes, obviously too large to be an ordinary forest animal. "I bet that that's the beast you were just talking about." The giant boar meandered out, followed by its two babies who were happily running around and snuffling at the ground.

"Let's see who can take it down first!" Chester challenged, drawing his bow and taking aim. Unfortunately, a sudden shift in wind caused the arrow to go off course, landing in a tree above the boars. Startled, the small family took off with squeals and grunts, heading deeper inside the forest. "Agh, unlucky..." The two friends took off after the beasts, following them to a small clearing with an enormous tree.

"I don't see it..." Cless sighed.

"I'll go look over here." Chester replied and ran off in the other direction.

"Where could it have gone?" Walking over to the tree, Cless gazed up at it curiously. How could such a large beast have vanished into thin air?

"Do not defile the tree..." A woman's voice suddenly rang through the air. Shocked, Cless jumped back as a woman appeared before him! There was a brilliant flash of light and to his amazement, the tree was full of life and vigor again...when the light faded, the forest was back to normal.

"W...what just happened?"

"Cless! Coming your way!" Chester shouted. Turning around, the swordsman noticed that both the boars and Chester were rocketing towards him...Upon seeing Cless, the beasts skidded to a halt. Angry and frightened at being cornered, the boar attacked!

"Look out!" Diving out of the way, Chester and Cless just barely avoided being gored by the enraged mother. The two babies took off squealing into the woods, to hide somewhere safe until the danger was past. Getting back to his feet, Chester shot an arrow at the boar while Cless hacked at it from the side.

No mortal beast can withstand a constant barrage of arrow and sword attacks, so thusly did the great beast fall, crashing to the ground with a thud. "Finally...Hey, who struck the final blow?" Cless asked, looking over at Chester.

"I...I'm not sure. Oh well, I guess today's hunt can just be struck up as a tie."

"Yeah...c'mon, lets head back to the v-" Before he could finish his sentence, the villager's bell that warned of danger sounded out, ringing over the peace of the forest. "Why is the villager's bell ringing? Whats going on!" Cless looked around startled.

"Let's find out! Hurry!" Grabbing his friends arm, the two raced back to the village, only to find an unspeakable sight before them....

[Dhaos/Kratos Aurion]
[Dhaos's Castle North-East of Midgard]

"Lord Dhaos..." a commander was saying to the Demon King.

Dhaos sat in a throne his eyes closed was pondering about what his objectives were.

"What is it?" Dhaos asked.

"We have found Yggdrassil. It's in the forest south of Toltus." The commander replied.

Dhaos said nothing for a moment. He than replied in a soft, but commanding voice.

"Send as much officers as you want & burn the village threatening the tree. Leave no survivors. The tree must not be harmed." Dhaos said.

"As you wish Lord Dhaos." The commander bowed & left.

"And thus does it begin..." Dhaos said to himself as he closed his eyes now deep in thought. "Martel...grant me your power to save my people. Give me the mana needed to save my people & destroy the inferior being that destroyed my home." Dhaos thought to himself.

The door opened & another figure walked through. This one was dressed in a kind of elegant armor. He had wings, a sword, & had messy/spiked red hair.

"Kratos..." Dhaos said noticing the strong Seraphim walking through.

Kratos Aurion said nothing and walked towards Dhaos who had now stood up.

"The time has come Kratos. It is time to show you the result of your hard work of the past. Look at what the humans of Midgard have done." Dhaos said pointing towards sphere.

Kratos walked over and noticed the development of the mystek.

"Do you see now? All that you & your son have fought for...all that they have tried to do, humanity has just spit back in your face. The mana depletion has gone to an extreme point now and for what? To eliminate me? You know that my intentions are otherwise Kratos. I want to save the supply of mana without killing as much people as possible. I want to save my own people. If there truly is evil, it lies in the hearts of man." Dhaos said.

"What do you want me to do?" Kratos replied in his calm, but strong voice.

"I want you to go to Midgard and do some reconnaissance for me. I want more information on the weapon they are building. I want to be prepared for the upcoming war. Also, if you can find the human that was responsible for the death of several of my people in Derris Kharlan, that will be an additional bonus." Dhaos said.

Kratos walked out of the throne room and thought to himself. "4000 years later...all my work...for nothing...Lloyd & his friends died for nothing...I'm sorry...son, but your intentions of what people should be doing have completely faded from existance."

Dhaos sat back in his throne and closed his eyes deep in thought.

[Fade to black...]

[Ok I want to include Kratos Aurion in this, but I'm giving you the option to RP as him if you want to. I kind of wanted to start him off to make a separate story onto Phantasia. Even though Kratos dies in Symphonia, let's say he didn't die and continued to live in Derris Kharlan serving under Dhaos as his right-hand man. It's up to you if you want to RP as him, or he can be a "neutral" character meaning we can both RP as him. Any actions that we make him do is finalized & none of us can change that. So if I make Kratos go to a place, he goes to the place, that can not be changed, but there is flexibility on what he does while he is there. This should give you some ideas. Let me know if you want to role-play as Kratos, me to role-play as Kratos, or if you want him to be a "neutral" character.]
