Eden, Saga 1: War of the Magi (Original and Sign ups!)

Name: Richard 'Val' Valentine
Gender: Male
Appearance: 6'2 with an athletic, muscular build. He has short neck length white hair and dark brown, almost black eyes. He dislikes armor and weapons, but carries a greatsword for tough situations. He doesn't like drawing attention to himself, so he only travels at night, and favors dark clothing. He wears a long black tattered overcoat, with a simple black shirt, leggings, and an old pair of brown Ranger's boots. He wears a golden wristband on his right wrist, a band he received from his old Master, which marks him as a Yssgradian Swordmaster.

Magistine: ???
Weapons: Colossus, a massive blade requiring great strength to wield. Forged from the hardened Red Steel of the Yssgrad Desert, the blade seems to be made of fire.

Bio: Age 23. A young man originally hailing from Ragnarok, he was the Firstborn son of a minor noble family. However, his entire family perished in a mysterious fire, when he was still just a child. Only he and his younger sister, Amelia, survived. The two fled the Dukedom, but with only the clothes on their backs, they didn't make it far. The pair made home, such as it was, on the streets of a small merchant village, where Richard took to stealing, in order to keep his sister alive. They lived this way for some months, until Richard met another boy his age, a boy only known as Bean. Bean was quick and smart, and already an accomplished thief, and so he taught Richard the tricks of the trade. However, unbeknownst to Richard, the boy was a psychopath, who had murdered a man for the first time at age 4. Bean developed an unhealthy fascination for Richard's sister, and during their largest job(A job that was all Bean's idea), Bean betrayed him, and left him for dead. Richard spent three years in jail, and when he was finally released, neither Bean nor his sister were anywhere to be found. Lost in despair, Richard, now a teenager, snuck onto a ship heading south. The sailors caught him when he tried to find food, but the Captain pitied the boy, and spared him, on the condition that he work. After several more months at sea, the ship landed at the lone port in Yssgrad, and the Captain gave the boy a choice: Make a living as a sailor from then on, or try his luck in the city. Richard declined the Captain's offer, which would prove a choice that would change his life forever.

Now calling himself Val, he tried to find honest work for some time, and for a while, he succeeded. He worked as a mover at the docks for some time, before he was fired for punching the Port Boss in the jaw. He fell back on his old skills after that, but when he broke into an old Weapon Shop, the owner turned out to be an aging Swordmaster of some renown, and easily caught him. Instead of turning him over to the authorities, Gerik took the boy as his apprentice, and trained him in everything from Swordsmanship to Ironwork to calligraphy. Now, present day, he leaves on a quest for vengeance, and answers.

Is this RP going to be as in depth like the other one was? Because I still only know just the basics and I kinda of have a lot going on. (Just downloaded a word processor and spreadsheet for my tablet should help out allot with the cyoa and posting in general. Since I have someplace to type before hand and proofread before I post.) I would like to join but with everything else and my limited knowledge I am unsure if I can join?

Right now I am on the fence.

In depth like the FF RP, you mean? No. This RP will be more like Austur, and RoS. I don't see a reason why you can't join. Since Emperor isn't online right now, I will boot up the Discussion Topic, for any lore questions.

This is an original RP. You don't have to memorize anything, as it is not based on a game, and there is no pre-made lore that you are required to know.

What are the other types of Magistine and what would be acceptable for them?

I was wondering about what types of unlisted Magistines are available for use for future reference. Like, a grey Magistine being Vorpal/Void, which is essentially a null element with no particular alignment. Maybe a purple one for poison.

Also, how different are the gods in this compared to their Greek counterparts?

Wait, are there any gods in this besides Hecate, Nyx, and Kaos?

So I assume that the other Magistines come from other gods?

Hephaestus is Fire, Gaia or Demeter is Earth (Earth like rocks or earth like plants and stuff?), Oceanus; Poseidon; Hebe; Cymopoleia; Nereus; Phorcys; Tethys; or Thalassa could be water, Hades; Thanatos; Erebus; or someone else could be Darkness, and Hemera; Eos; Aether; or Apollo could be Divine.

So my original question was how different are the gods in this compared to their Greek counterparts?
