searching The Grail of Sunlight OOC(OPEN)

[GreenGreenWhirlWind 161]

 Ok, i'll admit: last RP that i tried to start was pretty needlessly complicated, let's try something a tad simpler.

Background:

Ages ago, king Gunther of the Griffish Isles was sent by Celestia on a legendary quest in search of the long lost Grail of Sunlight, from which the princess of the sun herself drank in the night of her and Luna's coronation, and which was created with highly powerful magical properties bound to it. The grail was found and stored deep in the vaults of the royal sisters' castle, but now the grail has been stolen by none other than Crimson Crest, sworn enemy of the Griffish royal family and descendant of the evil sorceress Midnight Jasmine, and it is certain that his intent in doing so is malicious.

 With king Gunther now long gone, there is no one in the Griffish isles that can go on the journey to retrieve the grail, and the elements of harmony are occupied on a mission in Neighgypt from which they will not be able return soon enough to help. As such, the Griffish royal family has sent a letter to all inhabitants of Equestria, promising a great reward to all who volunteer to help  them and succeed, claiming that they will grant the volunteer anything they want should they bring back the grail.

Will you choose to heed the royal family's call and help them recover the Grail of Sunlight?

[Unicorncob 5,628]

Name: Squall Cirrus
Race: Pegasus
Class: Rogue
Sex: Mare
Age: Early 20s
Special talent: She has a knack for navigation and map reading, and has a keen sense of direction.
Cutie mark: A weathered parchment with a red X in the centre.
Appearance: She is a fit Pegasus with a turquoise-coloured coat and a chocolate brown mane and tail. Her hair is a little scruffy. She also has orange eyes. She always wears a navy captain's cap with a horseshoe flanked by spread wings on the front; her prized possession.
Personality: Squall is an energetic and somewhat eccentric Pegasus, who gets rather excited when the opportunity for adventure (and money) shows its face to her. Having quite a smart mouth on her, she's rather outspoken and it's difficult to shut her up. She's also quite proud and cocky, and fancies herself a born leader. She's incredibly protective of her hat, so messing with it is a surefire way to get on her bad side. She's also not a fan of taking orders, preferring to be the one giving the orders; but that comes with having your own (smallish) airship.
Motivation: Money and fame, what else?

Nice, thanks for signing up, your stats are:
Strength: 2
Agility: 5
Intelligence: 4
Willpower: 3

Since you're a pegasus you can fly and walk on clouds, as well as use your turn and spend 30 mana points to cause either rain(makes the ground slippery, forcing the opponents to succeed in an agility test at the beginning of their turn, falling down in case they fail and making them lose their turn), fog(makes it difficult to see, giving all players a +1 advantage when dodging attacks and all opponents a -1 disadvantage when performing ranged attacks), lightning(hits one random opponent, causing a random number from 10 to 30 in shock damage), hail(deals 5 points of ice damage to every opponent for each turn it remains activated, but also drains 5 mana points from the user for each turn it remains activated), snow(makes it difficult to move, giving all opponents a -1 disadvantage when dodging any attacks and performing melee attacks) or frogs(deals 10 points of poison damage to all characters - players and opponents alike - for each turn it remains activated). These effects, however, can only be caused if the character has access to any clouds at the moment.

(BTW, if you know anybody you think would be interested in the RP, feel free to invite them to join in!)
