Well, this is like, the first RP I've ever started. Originally it was myself, Dais-Nan, Blackrouge, Morckin and I'm sure Akina was in it, too, if I remember correctly. This was on one of the much older versions of FFE. Then the place became Gaming Extreme, and the whole thing was lost, so I restarted it, only this time Firefrenzy, Drachnon, and a couple of others (Can't remember who) were taking part. Then the place got hacked, so it was all lost AGAIN. (You'd think I would have thought to save the thing on computer, but I only had access to the net when I was at school.)
I've attempted to revive the RP a number of times on various forums, with no success, so I gave up on the whole thing for a while. Now I feel like having another go at getting this going, and possibly finished. :P So, enough babbling about how this kept failing from me.
The story, in short, is a "save-the-world" sort. Basically, The Dark Angel (As legends refer to him) has risen from his hellish prison and now wants to take over the world again. (By taking over, I mean completely obliterating all forms of life, and letting demons, and all kinds of hellbeasts walk the earth.) So, it's up to a small band of people (Surprise, surprise.) to put a stop to this before things before they get too bad. These characters are gonna be round up by a mysterious (And annoying) talking cat, who has been sent to help stop The Dark Angel from gaining too much of a foothold on the earth.
Apart from that, the whole thing is gonna be mainly free form, within reason. I want this discussion thread to be put to good use, so that other participants may contribute their ideas to the story. As for the characters, I want them original; the sort you'll rarely find together in a computer game or book.
Also, the setting for this is gonna be somewhat medieval. So, swords and magic and all that jazz.

If you're interested, please feel free to post your character now. I'll post mine up shortly.
