• There IS magic in here, but the number of mages is really limited. I will go into more details if someone asks me something either here or in a PM. Every country has a mage of the court, who is the most powerful (known) mage in the country.
• The only race you will be able to play here is human, though angels and demons also roam around here, there are no elves or dwarves or such.
• There are some special, real special weapons we'll find here. Their name is Dragon Gauntlets, and there are four of them in total. I'll leave the rest to your imagination as to what you think they can do. Each country holds one of this, and the people who wear them are called Dragon Knights. There are many great stories about them, and they roam around the masses even now, and hold an special place alongside the rulers of each country.
• The level of technology here reaches guns and weapons of the like, but there are no TVs, cellphones, or crap like that. Still, guns are really scarce, just like magic, so most people still prefer good ol' steel.
• Including New Torrea, the kingdom we'll start in, there are 4 other countries your character can come from:
  • New Torrea, Known for being the country with the greatest technological advancements, guns are already a reality here, but only in here, so you either buy one here or get someone to send it to you. It has a monarchy.
  • Milokis, Every mage hails from here and studies here. The Mage Council rules over everyone, and are the most powerful mages in the whole continent, studying under one of the mage council is an honor.
  • Nijiara, The agricultural country. From here comes all the food eaten in all the other countries. It has an extense fauna and flora, but their armies aren't as though as others, so they rely more in assassins and rogues. It also has a monarchy.
  • Hoskaros, The biggest country in the continent. They had a big expansion several years ago, but have now calmed down after the assassination of their last king. They now have became a democracy, however no one holds a position above others, much like in the Mage Council, where everything is decided through votes.

Interested. The story so far sounds a little bit like the manga/anime Akame Ga Kill; is that the kind of atmosphere you were going for, or will this be a more optimistic setting?

Yeah, I got the inspiration from it, but I want this to have a more optimistic side to it. The first part of the RP would be what is seen in the prologue, and then we'll move on to more catastrophic, world menacing things. >:D TBH, I took inspiration from both DA:I and AgK.

I see! I haven't played Inquisition (that is DA:I, right?) or any of the other Dragon Age games, but I'm very familiar with the AGK manga. Due to there being only four Dragon Gauntlets, are there only going to be 4 players? If not, are there other forms of magical weaponry and/or could someone without a Dragon Gauntlet overcome a Dragon Knight?

Of course! There are lots of spots open for this for people to come right in! And yes, people CAN overcome Dragon Knights, either alone or in a group, it all depends on the person, tbh.

Alright, cool. Judging on names alone, is Nijiara sort of a rough Japan-equivalent? I was thinking of making my character come from there, because he uses a katana, which makes less sense if he were to come from a country with a more western feel like Torrea.

Tsubasa [+]

• Expert Swordsman - Having trained most of his life in the art of the sword, Tsubasa is quite adept with a blade. Drawback: Without a blade he's severely weakened.
• Stealth - Becoming an assassin has taught Tsubasa the importance of stealth. He can't make himself disappear in shadows or ninja his way across buildings, but he's good at staying unnoticed and setting up ambushes. Drawback: Once noticed, he's hard to forget.
• Agility - Tsubasa is significantly faster than the average person during activities such as running and leaping. Drawback: Brute power is lacking.

• Sekiga - This sword, its name meaning "Red Fang" is a well forged and well maintained steel katana that has been in Tsubasa's family for generations. It bears a dangerous enchantment.
• Standard Traveling Gear - All that stuff required for world-wandering, like a pack and sleeping bag.
• Extra Clothes - In his line of work, Tsubasa often makes use of disguises.

Question, how far along are guns developed? Are we talking about flintlocks? Or revolvers, or something further down the line? You mentioned they were scarce but no mention of how advanced they have become.
