Gifted (Invite Only)
This is an RP for me, raider and Unknown Entity. I may consider allowing over people to join at a later date.
Okay, first things first we'll talk about the world. It's similar to earth in that it has 4 seasons but is smaller than earth and therefore has less gravity, we aren't talking jump 20 feet here but you get the idea. The RP will begin in a heavily forested part of what I currently refer to as the third continent, It is the largest of the four continents and extends over a wide variety of climates. Because there are only three of us I think it'd be a good idea to split our characters into different parts of the continent, Raider I'd like to place you in the far North, if that's okay with you, on the demon front, I'll explain later. It would give you complete free reign on what happens to your characters, well there would be some borders but meh. Unknown I'd like to cast you as the current main female lead, but that is a character that I created and can understand If you would rather make a character yourself.
And know I move onto this continents culture. It is heavily tied to the 5 gods: Sylph goddess of wind, Ifryn god of fire, Elesra goddess of water, Bronx god of earth, and Kryn the two faced god of life and death. The gods are all linked to the magic of their element which technically makes all mages priests. As the gods are beings of pure energy they cannot truly inhabit the physical realm and thus the majority of communication is done through dreams. Naturally a god will not commune with just anyone, it is usually restricted to the top ten mages of their affinity although the gods have been known to take interests in some individuals for no disernable reason. The gods choose the affinity, magical element, of every new child that enters the world, you could liken the process to a form of betting game where everyone starts with the same cards but how and when the cards are played is up to the god. The reason for such a process is that every mage has a different magical strength or power level making them more desirable to the gods. Okay I realise that talking about the gods doesn't really count as culture but in my opinion culture is a mixture of belief and history.
So we move onto history more specifically what and why the demon front exists (told you I'd explain) The demon front is a border that stretches from one coast to the other, it is a defensive formation that is manned by soldiers from all over the continent. The name is self explanatory but I'm going to say it anyway, the demon front was made to halt the demon armies. And now to explain why there are demon armies running amock, I never really fleshed this out but basicly, city + idiotic people who think summoning demons is a good idea = stable demon gate in city. Heh heh, most of the story I made doesn't focus on that area. The gods introduce a new variable into the human gene pool to combat the demons, a gifted, a god marked mage with an inhuman magic level (rules of affinity still apply) throughout the age of the gifted there has only been one gifted at a time, another being born immediately after the other had died, and only once has there been a gifted who had no affinity with any element. Next post I talk about story and characters... must... sleep
