"One. This dark crystal's power has grown unstable. Some fledgling power has infected it. I will contain and control it; this will cost the mortal world" - The Four Revelations of Dakkru
Briefly, the character I play, Vilthis Trayus (Male, Xacha), has been a follower of Dakkru's faith as an inquisitorial agent against the Blackflame. His means are however questionably Machiavellian in nature.
As per settings would indicate, the most plausible leader of Dakkru worship is Rulayne in Yliakum whom was sent by Dakkru in her revelations to spread word of her worship; whom Vilthis is answerable to. The roleplay approach I take is associated with a 'noir fiction' style with the undertone of detective narrative, espionage and cult hunting in chief.
A sample of the narrative style from a (supposedly) continuing arc: Clandestine Wars http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=37059.0 (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=37059.0)
A character background: http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=37063.msg421335#msg421335
Presently, I'm exploring a new storyline where, the character Vilthis Trayus, chances upon a young apprentice and takes him under his mantle teaching him the tools of his trade to later be a cult hunter in his own right. The apprentice history shaped under the unsettling circumstance he is raised in, schooled brutally in the arcane, combat, espionage and investigation. The animated relationship between Vilthis and the apprentice is a turbulent one resulting from Vilthis' dubious sense of humanity and his distant uncharacteristic cold demeanour. Resultingly, the apprentice matures to be a sort of an hardened anti hero with profound destiny ahead, albeit with a troubled history that creates an interesting flavour with character interaction.
There are no bars to candidacy. Interested party for the role of the 'apprentice' please kindly post here with details you may find useful in the consideration for this part. Subsequent decision would be posted here.

does this all really have to be planned out?
-
Well, it's something that affects character history for both parties so it has to be spelt out. It's not a casual pancake jamboree with no consequence whatsoever.
-
what if the player wishes to do something completely unexpected?
-
Well, the plot only speaks of the main theme. The creativity comes through the scenarios that would be poised and responded to.

Well, I believe in the RP by invitation school of thought. And the truth is ICly my character is very snoody.(For purposes of settings compliance mainly and adherence to canon precedents) The very purpose of a casting call is to define a conclusion. If I intend to the contrary, I can simply go on a basis of an impromptu interaction without substantial planning, they often don't have any binding impact on the 'character'.
My character history has been mostly shaped and codified from planned, advertised and done so on invitation basis RP. The Tapestry of Secret, the Jacula series, Marsuveus Saga...this list goes on. If you would search the history of some masterfully planned saga's shaped by the likes of Giroum, whom was my mentor in RPing, you would probably see the justifications why and how they are more likely to be taken as precedents to future actions and regarded as canon. I would however not assert my RP doctrine on you however. This is a casting call, not a draft. :P

Deedro's about 5 years old right about now, still a street urchin trying to get a fortune; he could be convinced if need be but it would be a little hard arguing with a stubborn 5 year old like himself.

Kalypson: Tall for a young age, muscular, soft spoken, dark eyes. Usually has skins from hunt clipped on belt and pack. Intertwining reeds and swords in a blue and black tattoo crawls up both forearms. A similarly patterned tattoo emerges from under his belt line. Tattoos having meaning to Kalypson, define his struggle between good and evil, evolve from his studies crystal way. Has room to grow and define character, and would settle well into roles involving hunting activity, seminary, right and evil, good and wrong... 8)
Be interested to learn more.

First off, let me say that I am deeply intrigued by this/these ideas. Whereas this RP dates back to several past RP's seems like a great idea as well. Up to this point I feel that your initial post, Vilthis, and all that followed are great ideas. While Vamese has taken a leave of absence due to a small RP between Sesine, Xilnaya, Rakhun and himself... My alt/new main(?) Felear is in fact a lost soul trying to find his place in the world... He has just one friend and is not involved in any major scheme or role aside from being obsessed with money and making it known that he is willing to do anything for the right price. As far as I can tell, his role in Yliakum doesn't conflict with a possible future consideration for this role... His story would possibly even leave him wide open to the possibility. In any case, I am curious to find out what happens down the road for everyone involved wether I take part in any way or no way at all. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for expressing your interest, Vamese. a 'screentest' would be conducted at a convenient time.
Thanks for your recent participation Kalypson, in the "Proving grounds"
