Underneath his jacket is a white frilled shirt with the end of the sleeves being frilled. On his left shoulder is a spiked up shoulder pad which hangs up rather than resting on the arm. His leather jacket has a few metal studs that are aligned like an X around Calvin's chest and the back of his left hand. Tied around his waist are two pouches that cover his hips. They are full of strange objects including luck charms.

There are two blade-shaped strips of cloth going down from the front of his waist down to about just below his knees. His gray pants are tight-fitting as well go down to just below his knees. His gray leather hessian boots take the rest of the way, covering the rest of his legs and his feet.

Personality: Most notable about Calvin is his obsession with luck charms, he never goes anyway without them. Overall he is a lazy, laidback and go-with-the-flow kind of guy. He typically doesn't let much anger or upset him. He always has his fearless leader, Libitina, held most of the work. He just goes out and does "his thing." He is a very social and big people person. If he's not on a mission, he's usually be something socializing.

He is a smooth talker and can usual get someone to do something for him with just a bit of work. Aiding him in his socialization, he always seems to have the natural git of trust. He is easily trusted, anyone willing to believe him without him saying much. He is respectful to everyone and is never caught smack-talking or taunting. Whenever he kills someone, he always gives them the proper respect. He always sees people at the same level. But he can come off as a bit goofy. Whenever he refers to someone, he never calls them by their name. Instead he gives them a nickname (for example: Libitina is "the boss." )

Calvin was trained from a young age to kill and fight by his mother and father. When he was six, his father was murdered. At the age of seven, he made his first kill on the Desert Assassin responsible for killing his father. who had betrayed the group by killing his father. A week after that, Calvin met Libitina who would become the new leader of the Desert Assassins. Ever since then, Calvin has highly respected his leader and fellow comrades like family.

Family: His father was assassinated by one of their own. His mother still lives but now lives the rest of her life in the small village controlled by the Desert Assassins. Calvin never knew the rest of his family.

Which Army does he fight for?: He fights for his master, whoever that may be.

Gender: Male

Weapon: He uses both magic and melee whenever he must engage in battle. He uses a longsword that's said to be made of diamond. It is rather old looking as the gold handle has lost much of its color.

The cloak goes all the way down to his ankles where it becomes quite tattered. Overall he is wearing steel plated armour, from a cuirass to shoulder pads to gauntlets. His entire body is encased in armour. The fingers of his gauntlets looked like claws. Around his waist is a dark green sash which reaches down to his knee.

For thousands of years, humans ruled the lands as the superior race of the world. We triumphed over darkness and conquered evil. We slayed mighty foes and saved ourselves from the hands of iniquity. For thousands of years, an everlasting calm seemed to keep all at peace. People lived their lives with happiness. We were hailed as heroes but still resented by our enemies.

Brought by strange and almost godlike beings, the modern age of 169 was consumed by danger and those days were some the darkest this world's ever faced. But a hero stood up from the hopelessness and darkness and laid their life down in order to eradicate this evil. It brought justice and salvation back to our land. Peace stood like a flag for everyone who lived to see it through. If only I could have a taste of that freedom...

Eighty-four years ago, 171 years into the Age of Humans the world was changed forever. An army of otherworldly beings that referred to themselves as gods came to our land. These beings looked like humans but they weren't. They had abilities and powers that crushed us mortals in every single way.

They demanded our world for their own, without a care to how we felt. Within a very short amount of time, all of those things we did in the past seemed to be obliterated. We were literally brought down to our knees by this monstrous force. Very soon the invasion of them finally led to the final place to claim, Varrock.

Koios, a god that stood against his kinds fought valiantly until finally he stood face-to-face with the ruler of his kind, King Dias Pallas Barn. The two fought in a battle to decide the fate of the world. But ultimately, Koios fought a losing battle and was defeated. After receiving a mortal blow by Dias, Koios said to the king that their race's greatest enemy intended to claim the very same land they stood upon and that she would be there within the month.

With the message delivered to the king, he prepared for anything. Just a week after the warning was issued... she arrived -- a woman who goes by the name of Lamia. She was the queen of the so-called Wasteland of the Abyss, the queen of the demon race.

She looked like a humanoid and apparently she was incredibly beautiful. But she was fiercely merciless, coming to our world all by herself. She expected humans, the legend tells us. But instead, she quickly realized that the blood that stained her thin blade was that of her enemies. Learning of this just made the goal that much sweeter to her.

Despite being outnumbered, Lamia easily decimated the soldiers that stood in her way. Her march steadily made its way to the capital once known as Varrock. Within a few days of arriving, Lamia had arrived at the capital. The knights before her were cleared one-by-one until she fatefully arrived at the king's throne room. She was eager to finally put an end to her enemy, citing "vengeance" as the true reason for her coming.

The two engaged in an earth quivering battle, trading blow-for-blow with each other. They were both so evenly matched that deciding who would come out the winner would be completely impossible. At the end of a long and extremely difficult battle, the young king Dias was the victor of the fight. He launched his mightful blade, Arbandor, into Lamia and ended her assault upon the gods.

The victory would not come without consequence however. King Dias was not spared, suffering a grievous wound when he silenced the queen. Not even a being of his power could survive from his injuries, passing away very briefly after the end of the fight. The last minutes of his life were spent with his son, Nomos. He tells Nomos what he must now do now that he must assume the throne.

King Dias was declared a hero by his people and was given a title, a name to forever go by. He stands eternally as the Hero King. With the death of his father now come and gone, King Nomos orders that no being from the Wasteland can enter this land. Those of us who survived the brutality of the gods were made slaves, serving them until we break and even beyond that. Twenty-three years after that fateful day, King Nomos passed away peaceful in his sleep.

His son, Minos, took the throne the next day along with his wife Atere. And they continued to oversee this world come into fruition. But as sudden as a bolt of lightning from the blue, King Minos' rule was cut short when he and his wife die under suspicious circumstances just thirteen years into his reign. Some speculated that the secret society known as the Desert Assassins had a hand in this but no such evidence was ever found to confirm this. Thus the reign of King Minos was more-or-less forgotten.

Minos and Atere's eldest son, Divus assumed the throne with his wife Leena. King Divus' kind heart led to peace and good times for the gods. Both king and queen watch quietly over their two sons and daughter. Their first-born and future emperor, Prince Lelantos Barn seemed to have more interest in studying human history than in politics. The king and queen made Prince Balor Barn, their second oldest, the Captain General of their army at the age of twenty-seven.

Resenting the humankind, Prince Balor ordered that we fight their war against those who carry themselves under the name of the Lumbridge Resistance. The vast majority of the human slaves were sent to battle. It was an indiscriminate call, both men and women were sent to battle even without combat experience. Far from the blood-red battlefields, the gods who fought now live in their homes in the most serene of times.

Twenty-four years have passed since that day and the war with the Lumbridge Resistance has hit an all-time worse.

More people are dying each day and it's only a matter of time until we reach the end of the war. This war has been going on for forty years and somehow the Lumbridge Resistance has managed to keep themselves from being overpowered by even the gods. But I wager that even that will eventually break.

´•._.•´Prologue of Fall From Grace

Within the keep of a large room, several stained glass window shimmered with peering light as if the sun were taking a look into the room. The room was lit up in multiple colors, like a rainbow was casting its life into the room. There were three windows along the west and east walls along with painted portraits of noble men and women, past kings and queens.

The walls were a snow white. There were two doors in the room, one to the north and another to the south. The doors were made of maple and looked very smooth. The golden doorknobs shined like a lamp. Within the center of this room stood a tall maple-wood table standing on top of a sea of red trimmed in gold. The maple table is trimmed by smooth gold.

Along the sides, top and bottom of the table were chairs made of the same material as the table. There were three chairs along the sides of the table and just one chair at the top and bottom of the table. The top chair was more decorative than the others, it was padded in a red cushion and it was trimmed in gold.

Sitting at the bottom right chair was a distracted, silver haired young man. As his mind pondered thoughts back and forth like a game of Ping Pong, he heard voices that sounded like simple muttered blobs of sound. He couldn't understand them because he wasn't exactly paying any attention to them.

Sitting on the top chair was a very important looking man, the king himself. His hair was about shoulder-length and it was jet-black. He wore a full-grown beard and he wore a concerned look on his face. His eyes were an indigo-purple and they had a glow to them. On top of his head was a crystal-like crown. It was engraved with dragonstones and diamonds.

He wore a long majorelle blue cape, its edges draped with white fur. In the center of his cape was a symbol of a lion. And his body is cloaked by a majorelle blue houppelande. The sleeves were long, reaching down to his mid-thigh and they were trimmed by white fur. Underneath his houppelande was a dark gray tunic and dark gray slacks. His boots were long, reaching to just below his knees and they were made of dark majorelle blue crystal.

Sitting in the chair to his right was his angry and seemingly bored looking son, Balor Barn. Balor had his left elbow up on the table and his hand was a fist. His body was leaning towards the table and his left cheek was smushed against his fist. The chair to the king's left remained empty. The rest of the chairs were full of men that looked rather noble. In the chair at the bottom of the table was an older looking man with short gray hair with some balding of the top portion of his head.

His face was hidden under the cloak of a long banner of gray hair that looked like a waterfall, reaching down to the bottom of his neck. His eyes were a light blue and they too had a glow to them. He wore a dark brown chiton which reached down about mid-calf. On top of his chiton was a black himation and his wrists are cuffed by a Majorelle blue vambraces that looked like crystal.

His feet were tied with caligae sandals that were made of the same material as his vambraces. Much unlike His Majesty, the man wore a very stern look on his face. All of these noblemen's eyes were glued onto a distracted young man sitting in the chair at the bottom right chair. His eyes wondered from thought to thought, lost in the forest of maple wood as he looked down.

Minutes went by and the young man didn't even realize that those odd blobs of sound had just vanished. His mind was still stuck in the mud of deep thought, still caught in the eye of a brainstorm. The king looked concerned but curious. His back was hunched over, his elbows arching up on the table.

His hands were folded together and pressed against his lips as if he were praying. His eyes seemed to be locked onto the same young man almost everybody else in the room was looking at: a young man with silver hair who was completely lost in thought. With each passing second, the rest of the Ruler's Counsel grew more impatient and the king seemed to get more concerned. "Raphael," he called out.

Raphael jumped out of his seat, about a foot into the air. He made his fall back down to the smooth wooden earth of which he bolted from. He shuffled his head left and right several times rather fast, sweat racing down the sides of his face. Everyone in the room except the king and the stern faced man let out a quick laugh.

The man at the bottom chair glared sharply at Raphael. His arms were crossed and his face hung low. "Human," angrily called the man. "are you done daydreaming?"

Raphael scratched the right side of his forehead. "Uh, y-yes," he tautly responded, steering his eyes to King Divus. "Forgive me, sire."

King Divus closed his eyes and let out a light smile. "Pay no mind to it," he quickly replied, waving his left hand once.

The king's smile fell from his face, returning to his earnest expression. "Raphael," he once called.

Raphael's smile went down too. "U-uh," he spoke nervously. "Yes?"

"What is your opinion on them?" curiously asked the king.

Raphael blinked several times rather fast. His mind was blank like a clean slate, not even knowing what exactly they were talking about. "My... opinion?" he blankly mumbled. "I... think they're great?"

Much of the Ruler's Counsel jumped out of their seat, their face gripped by infuriation. "You think our enemies are great!!?" they all shouted furiously. The king remained seated as did the man at the bottom chair and Balor. The prince still looked as bored as ever and the king seemed intrigued. The man in the bottom chair seemed incredibly irritated. All the men up from their seats shot daggers from their eyes like cannonballs at Raphael.

Raphael's heart sank like quicksand into the bottom pits of his stomach. A shiver ran down his body, raising his hands to about shoulder height and waving them left and right. "N-no, no, no!" he frantically denied.

Divus drew in a soft breath and released it back into his royal palace. "Settle down," the king suggested to his counsel. Those who stood up corresponded with their commander and laid themselves back down. "It's obvious that Raphael has misheard me."

Balor rolled his eyes. "Obviously so," he quickly scoffed.

Divus ignored his son's comment and kept his focus on Raphael. His eyes gazed softly at Raphael's nervously beating body. "What is your opinion regarding our enemy, the Lumbridge Resistance?"

Raphael inhaled and exhaled the nervousness out of him. He returned to his calm, composed self. He closed the curtains on his purple irises. "Well, sir, their power is pretty impressive considering that they consist of only humans." he calmly explained. "I think it would be wise not to underestimate them."
