I would have posted sooner, but since I was working on getting the next RP ready I would not have been able to post that without double posting or editing. So I waited until I had it finished. I will now address the posts that I had wanted to earlier.

Cetra ignoring the club has me a little disconcerted. I'm hoping that changes. As for the RP, you only posted once. I would imagine that you had a direction in mind for your character as anyone would. That would be how you would typically approach things until the main story started to unfold. But the RP needs to move along so it is important post. Moving it through will allow it develop deeper, but it is still stuck on the beginning posts with no one doing much of anything at the moment.

And Lady Rika I will be looking at your RP and give you the decision on whether or not if you will be needing to go through recruitment or not. I was sort of busy today doing work on the new RP so you understand that I have not looked at it yet.

EDIT: Also I have accepted Lady Rika into the club. So she is officially a member now. I was very pleased with her RPing skills and she will be a fine addition to the ranks of Royalty. First order of business for you would be selecting a Royal title if you are so inclined to do so. For the time being you are a noble until you choice a title. You may also take part in the Royalty internal RP with said title. You are also open to joining the current running Divided Connection RP and the new RP that I am creating currently.

And as for the RP here is what I have come up with. It blends a lot of themes together and events in history. So it should be interesting. I know it was made the comment before that this was like X-Men. And in some fashion that is correct. However, the approach is that unlike the X-Men where there really is only a few people that have powers and evolution is slowly taking it time. Magic is a general thing that anyone can use, people just don't know that yet. The most gifted ones are the only ones that are using because they do it without really thinking about it too hard. So here it is.
The World of Rumnir

The continent of Rumnir contains five kingdoms spread across the land. However, they were not content with simply their own land and thus have fought numerous wars between each throughout the centuries. However, in the last twenty years something has occurred that is shaking all of the kingdoms. There is a sudden appearance of a strange, mysterious ability in people to draw on nature and themselves to create. No one knows what is happening, but it is affect everyone equally without regard. Some think that it is a disease that infecting them and others a sign from the gods.
Five Kingdoms

Kithur: One of the northern kingdoms, they are currently at war with Jumin for the last two years. Their land lies in the northwest of the continent until it runs into mountains to the west. The land beyond the mountain is almost completely inaccessible making for their western border. To the north lies the coast and sea. They control most of the northern lands extending into the east north over Jumin. These are recent lands taken in the war.
They are recruiting magic users into their military for use against Jumin. It is policy and propaganda used to get the citizens to turn in people that can use magic. Part of what they say is that they are removing the threat from the populace and keeping the people clean. They do not care about age and will take anyone that shows strong abilities and put them in the army. Those that do not agree are not seen again.
Jumin: The other northern kingdom it shares most of its border with Kithur along its western boundary. To the east it is stopped by mountains that cut off the remaining half of the continent to the east. They are currently at war with Kithur attempting to retake the lands lost in the north.
Jumin recently came out of a war with Pilner to the south of them five years ago. It was then that they started using people with magic abilities. And with the war with Kithur they have continued similar methods that Kithur uses. The public is more willing to turn in people knowing that they are needed for war. Though there is a stronger sentiment that they are a threat to them and need to be removed. Some of the religious factions exist in the very southern regions of the kingdom.
Lothua: The central kingdom is completely surrounded by the others. Until the last century Lothua had fought numerous civil wars leaving the entire region unstable. The only reason no one invaded was the strength of military that each side had. It also meant weakening themselves to the other kingdoms, which they were often at war with. However, since the unification of Lothua they have been a threat to the other kingdoms. Fifty years ago they fought the southern kingdoms and held them off with their strong military. Since they have kept to themselves maintaining a strong defense that makes the other kingdoms ignore them.
Lothua is also well known for taking in magic users. They employ them in the defense of the kingdom making their military power even more feared. It is said that Lothua openly welcome all people that can use magic and that they have a secret underground that accepts refugees from the other kingdoms. However, Lothua has remained closed and such rumors cannot be confirmed.
Cormenyr: Part of the southern kingdoms, they exist along the mountains that border Kithur and the shore to the south. They have come out of a war with Pilner twenty-five years ago that devastated their lands and military strength. Since they have worked to rebuild their military while Pilner waged war with Jumin to the north. The weakened border guard has allowed religious groups from Pilner to enter spreading the growing religion.
Cormenyr does not trust the magic users though they do not openly attack them. The religious groups work independently of the kingdom, but are also not arrested for their actions against the people.
Pilner: The Holy Kingdom of Pilner is the origin of the new religion that is spreading across the land of Rumnir. Their borders lie against the mountains to the east and Jumin to the north and Cormenyr to the west. They evenly divide up the shore to the south with Cormenyr after the stalemate twenty-five years ago. Their military however recovered sooner, but is now being rebuilt from the recent war with Jumin.
Due to the religion Pilner rounds up the people that can use magic and puts them on trial. Depending on how strict to the teachings the region is those that use magic maybe be killed rather than given any fair trial. The people will often turn in those that show magic abilities, mothers are even known to hand in their children.

State of Magic in Rumnir:
Magic appeared in the land recently only twenty years ago for unknown reasons. No one knows when it actually occurred but the first recorded person with strange abilities was twenty years ago. Since that point the number of people with magical abilities has slowly been increasing each year. While a true census of the population does not exist it is believed that roughly one percent of the population currently has said abilities.

Filt Hol Grimthor the Heretic:
Filt was a researcher from the kingdom of Cormenyr born roughly thirties years before the incident, making him in his fifties now. His research has labeled him a heretic in most kingdoms due to his interest in magic and the people that can use it. His theory is that everyone contains magic within them and has the potential to control it in some degree. The only reason a small part of the population has shown them so far is because they are the most talented and well attuned to the magic. They are attuned to the point that it is second nature to them. However, it would be possible to teach others to use magic and be able to do what those that can do it naturally.
This theory is not widely accepted among the people and is considered heresy by some groups. The theory itself is known, though not often spoken since its words are dangerous when spoken in the wrong company. The man remains hidden since he announced his findings to the royalty of the kingdoms at the summit ten years ago. Rumors are that his is currently hiding in Lothua where he continues his research.

Pilner Religion:
The religion that grew up in Pilner replaced the old belief in pagan gods that the rest of the kingdoms believe in. There are a surprising amount of similarities with the new religion and the old one. They still believe in a number of gods, though the names have change what they represent is still fairly similar. The primary gods exist in reign over the natural elements, fire, water and earth. Then underneath that are further gods for weather, sun and moon. Most of the minor gods were removed that existed as now pagan gods. The area that they reign over were moved into the six existing gods, such as crops is under weather and war under fire.
Because of the similarities with the old pagan religion it was easy to convert people over. The new religion was instituted by the Kingdom of Pilner roughly fifty years ago and has since spread as the primary religion in the kingdom. It has also spread into the neighboring kingdoms that still believe in the old pagan gods, which are numerous and vary from region to region. The new religion was seen as a sort of standardization of the too varied religions that had created internal conflicts in the past.
They view magic as heresy and a distortion of nature. They are corrupting their bodies that were given to them by the gods and turning their backs on them. As such people that use magic that are caught face a variety of punishments. The first is conversion, attempting to get them to repent for their sins. However, there are some groups a little more fanatical than others that tend to ignore the first step. The second step is an inquisition, which calls on a formal request to the head of the religion to have someone interrogate and often torture the person. The final step is execution, if the person continues to refuse to convert and give up the use of magic they will be killed. The method of execution varies and is up to the decision of the local groups, which usually is based on the primary god they worship. Common methods are burning, drowning, stoning, starvation, torture or simple execution. Typically those that believe in the god of water will drown the person so that they may go back to the god for final judgment.

I have decided to forego having races. I originally had created a number of races only to realize that what I was doing was going to be conflicting with what I had created. So having different races became unnecessary for the overall scheme of things. Since I want magic users to blend in more and be like everyone else. It also makes it easier for kingdom recruiting people to hunting people outside of their kingdom as well without things being strange. So everyone will be human.

The people that can use magic go by a number of different names. Magic Users or Magic Person is the more politically correct term. Others are Magite, Mage, Magi, Magician, Corruptor, Bender, Alter, along with a variety of other terms. People see them as corrupting nature and bending it towards their own will, since they can use the elements of the gods. Pilner specifically calls them Magic Heretics or Nature Heretics. Since they are seen as breaking the code with the gods some are called God Breakers.


I will be adding my character later. I have a headache right now and hot and uncomfortable. I had fortunately done all of this up before that happened, so I just put it up. My character will be added when I can think without hurting my head.

As I said I would be posting up my character. So here it is along with the pieces of information you will need for your profiles. Standard stuff, though nationality will be important since there are five kingdoms and where you are from will impact things. There is a lot of distrust between the kingdoms, so being from Jumin and going into Kithur is not going to be fun. And old wounds do not mend easily.
As for the magic, you can have fun with that and do whatever you want. You can be as specific as just being able to run fast to as general manipulating fire. Magic comes in many forms so you can have fun and making it as obvious or subtle as you want. You also do not necessarily need to have magic. Not having magic is an option as well if you so wish it. The rest should be self explanatory.

Name: Eris Kiur Rhiemiu
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Nationality: Kithurian
Magic Element: Lightning
Occupation: Farmhand
Social Status: Lower Class
Weapons: None
Appearance: Eris has shoulder length brown hair usually tied back when she is doing work in the fields. Her eyes are dark blue innocent with forgetfulness. The village is poor surviving off of their crops, so her clothes are what little they can maintain. She wears a thick woven dress hiding her dirtied face. When she is in the fields she wears her brother’s clothes that hang on her thin body.
Background: Eris’ village lies on the border of Kithur and Jumin. It is often that the land changes sides during battles, but the village continues to go on living. They supply their food to whoever pays regardless of which kingdom they are a part of. When Eris was born it was part of the Kingdom of Kithur. However, it currently is in the control of Jumin from a recent raid two months ago. Because the village lies so far away from both kingdoms’ capital there is little care in what becomes of a small village with no military worth. Soldiers will pass through frequently looking for food and water, which the villagers offer up without question.
All of the villagers had grown to be flexible and not care about rulers, but simply living through the next day. They would offer whatever they had, including their women if requested. Eris was accustomed to this and did not hate the soldiers for what they did. They always passed by without incident. However, after the raid from Jumin ended the soldiers were restless returning back to the village.
When they returned the soldiers took what they wanted and Eris became the eye of someone’s interest. What happened to her is only known by the villagers who were forced to watch. After they were finished with her she was found unconscious, having fainted. She was brought back to her parents who learned of what happened to her and became distraught for Eris did not wake. It was two days before she opened her eyes and when asked what she could remember she only had a blank expression.
A month passed and it was quickly realized that Eris was pregnant, no doubt from what happened to her. However, when Eris was told she was happy, smiling to her parents who could only cry. She spoke to them telling them that it was Kign’s child. She could remember stealing away into the night with him and was convinced it was his. But they all knew that Kign had died six months ago in the field when soldiers from Kithur attacked. Eris could not be dissuaded and seeing that it brought her peace her parents remained quiet.
