A futuristic fantasy with knights, action, adventure, and full of mystery and intrigue.
Within an enormous golden castle built above seven rings or sectors. The Castle being the Eighth. The massive structure floats above what they call the "lower lands" that are believed to be dangerous. A King and SkyKnights rule and protect the dwellers of said floating kingdom. Twenty three years ago the Queen died of strange circumstances, but it was concluded that she died from illness. At the same time, the two year old Princess went missing leaving the King broken hearted. The land hasn't been the same since, and many were left in mourning.

Years later, the Duke declared rebellion against King and Country. Most of the SkyKnights and Paladins have been killed off. Any Paladins or SkyKnights that agreed to work with the new King were granted pardon, the ones who chose otherwise were executed on sight. Only one High Paladins has been left alive, although there are rumors that some might still be alive. Celestine Arkwright (My character) a SkyKnight known as "The Lady of the Golden City" still lives as well to rebuild and protect the people. They live in squalor because of the Duke and current King's greed. Now she works towards the goal to find the lost and true heir, and over throw the "False King".

((These characters are free to use during your role plays. Make sure to abide by the information provided for the character. If you are not sure PM me.))​


Rogue Faction:

Rogue Smith (Charles Smith) – This middle aged family man owns the Rogue Smithy on the First Sector. He treats all of the other Rogues like his own kids too. Everyone needs a good mentor right? He not only acts as a doctor, but does the surgeries for the Rogue Knights, SkyKnights, and Paladins. He was once a Smith who did excellent work along side of his dear friends and fellow Smiths in the palace before the rebellion. He has short wavy coppery brown hair dusted with bits of gray, and baby blue eyes that shine when he smiles. He has crowfeet wrinkles, but it only gives the man character.


The Order Under the False King:

SkyKnight 01 (Sir Gareth) – A very muscular SkyKnight who works under the False King, He is good friends with Sir Lucan, but the two are also rivals vying for the passions of their fellow Knight, Lady Gwen. Gareth is the very debonair type. His hair is a deep chestnut brown and his eyes are a rich emerald green.

SkyKnight 02 (Sir Lucan) – Less muscular than Sir Gareth, but still nicely bit. This SkyKnight is more fit for speed and agility. Lucan also works under the False King, He is good friends with Sir Gareth, but the two are also rivals vying for the passions of their fellow Knight, Lady Gwen. This handsome dirty blonde is the very playful and flirtatious. His violet eyes glitter when he smiles.

SkyKnight 03 (Lady Gwen) – A SkyKnight that works under the False King. With curly blonde hair and gray eyes the woman is quite beautiful, but she is known to be very serious and only seems to care about training to be a Paladin.
