In a time where armies used both bow and gun, where man co-existed with other humanoids, demons and monsters walked the realm. The monsters and humanoids fought for hundreds of years, more and more species being found for both, until the Humanoid armies finally pushed the monsters back, to a single, large island. Occasionally, a powerful demon would rise up, and form an army, attempting to spread the reach of the monsters. Every time, an army of specialized fighters, called the Legion of Heracs, would push them back to the island, before killing the leader. Five times, it has happened, five times, it has been stopped. During times of peace, many monsters would escape from the island, and venture around Humanoid-controlled land. Some would create buildings, or giant caves, and terrorize the humanoids, before small groups of fighters would venture in, and destroy them, many joining the Legion of Heracs, becoming Heracians. Recently, new monsters have been discovered, with a new type of weapon. Adventurers and Heracians both have found books, written by these monsters, detailing how to use the new weapon, which many have begun to call magic, as it resembles the magic told in old stories. More and more monsters have begun to move off the island, and hints of another war starting against another monster army have begun to show. Will the Legion be able to fight another war, with a new weapon, just being learned by Humanoids, and already mastered by the monsters, or will they finally fall?

Yes, a new RP, from me. Yes, I will keep it alive. Yes, there are very little restrictions. Just post your profile in the Merc topic (Now up), and wait for me to verify your character, or tell you what needs to be fixed. I'll start this RP by this weekend, Monday at the latest.
The crowds cheered, as the Parade walked through the city. The Grand Master waved as he passed by, his loyal Heracians walking beside his horse, the Head Arms-Master and the newly appointed Grand Magister riding alongside him, the three horses decorated in beautiful and fanciful armor and cloth. Today was a special day, as the Head Arms-master was standing down, and passing his title to the next-in-line. The next-in-line rode along on a lightly armored horse, smaller than the other three, following behind the trio of brave leaders. Outside the walls of the grand city of Herac, a dark forced loomed closer, the cheers of the citizens and soldiers, the music of the royal bands, and the overall chaos of the ceremonial parade, covering the sounds of yelling, of blades sharpening, of the invasion army, preparing for the first assault.

Katsu-
Walking behind the Next-in-line’s horse, you wave to the citizens. You shiver as a group of large, muscular men wave at you, and wink. One of them whispers to the others, and they all start laughing. You think you hear a quiet bang, but dismiss it as a simple popper. Today is a grand day, as you are to present the next-in-line with the Arms-Master’s Blade, a strong, powerful sword, passed down along the Head Arms-Masters since the First Forging. A great honor is given to you, to hold it, and pass it to the new Arms-Master, you think to yourself.

Myren-
Watching the parade from a rooftop, you sit, wearing your black cloak. You hear a loud bang, thinking it’s a simple ceremonial noise. You snuck into the Grand City, hoping to find something inside. When you realized there was a ceremony going on, you climbed the closest building, and watched as a large army walked through the large street, towards a giant building, in the middle of a large field, surrounded by a river. Your familiar is sitting nearby you, under a shadow created by an umbrella. The roof has a primitive grill, tables, and chairs, with a few umbrellas. “I guess they use this roof for parties of sorts…” Jhret mumbles, looking around the roof again. “It seems pretty fancy.”
((So yeah haven't posted in this yet since my internets been on the fritz until today. A bit curious as to why Katsu, a common mercenary, is in some grand parade but whatever.....))
Katsu's eye twitched a bit as the muscular men began laughing. Before long his eyes closed as he grinded his teeth a bit. Soon after some 'unknown force' launched the men off helplessly into the crowd as Katsu continued onwards with the parade. Why he was even there he didn't have a clue but might as well take the chance to score some free beer and food while he has it.
