It's currently 2 in the morning and I'm pretty sure that I won't be falling asleep until I share this idea of a roleplay with all of you. This is an original idea that I've brainfarted over the last few months. Not until now have I decided to write everything down and settle on a solid basis. Before I tell you much more, here's the intro that I wrote up for the roleplay.

They say that long ago it was the mystical forces of magick that had led the world to ruin, the subjugating power tearing the old world to shreds as the sovereigns of the land pit their armies against each other to control the raw might of a single being. That being was a scared child, imbued with power foreign to her and forced to watch the bloodbath of conflict all centered around her. In the tales it is told that an unwitting boy happened upon her, teaching her how to trust, care, and love. In the end, that boy would sacrifice himself to save her, expelling the magick inside her and in turn destroying the old world, purging the cruel world of all but few. The girl was alone, left to wander the broken world until fate came for her, too.

Most assume this is only a myth, a child's tale told to warn the consequences of power, but there is no denying that something powerful came along and razed the old world. Whether it really was magick, or some cataclysmic weapon, there is only one thing that really triggered the downfall of the old world. Mankind.

It's not anything huge yet, and I apologize for the crappy writing. Like I mentioned before, it's 2 a.m. and I'm having trouble remembering words. The roleplay would be based around a rebel army fighting the tyranny of a subjugating empire in the new world. Though most don't believe the old stories of magick, recent discoveries have concluded that an old world artifact could hold the secrets of the destruction of the old world. The roleplay would be centered around a group of fresh recruits as they are exposed to war and all of its evils. It would be a pretty dark themed roleplay, exploring the ideas of death, war, magick, and fighting for a side that has its own questionable goals, etc. I plan to make it show that neither side of the war is bad or good, both of them utilizing methods of questionable morals and having goals that aren't exactly righteous. It will be up to the players to decide how their characters react to the realization that they're not exactly good guys like they think they are.

The world has modern technology such as automatic firearms, vehicles, electricity, (That's not super wide spread) and most things like that, though computers, the internet, cellular devices like phones, television, and similar ideas are non existent. The current time is give or take a thousand years after the destruction of the old world, and the equivalency of an industrial revolution is currently occurring, which isn't causing too much good to the world around them.

Pretty much mankind is hurdling towards the same path that destroyed the old world in the first place.

I'm sorry if my ideas are all jumbled, I'm not too good at getting my ideas fully explained. If you need any explanations or have any questions, please ask me. Nothing's set in stone yet and the world is still in development, so you're free to pop ideas and give constructive criticism. Thank you!

Edit: It'd probably be a high-casual roleplay in terms of quality.

And now, time for sleep. :)

I actually really like the idea. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot, though I'm not usually a "casual" role player in the sense that I write paragraphs worth of information for a single post, but I could certainly use it to lift my writing game.

High casual probably wasn't the best idea actually, I think it would work better as a free casual sorta thing. If I do it, I'd just like people to try their best, that's all. I'd expect mostly proper grammar and all, but as for writing I'd just want people to try their best. No one-liners, but as long as I see that someone is making a decent effort, that'd be good enough for me.

Thanks for taking interest though, I hope I'm able to set this all up! Sorry if anything seems jumbled, I'm typing from my phone.

Edit: Also, the name is a WIP, I'm gOing to try and think up something a little more original :)
