Souls of [insert world name here]
(WIP, sooo much WIP)

If you're confused, read the bottom hiders

The land of [insert world name here] has never been in more turmoil. The recent years have been hard, nature itself seems to seek its demise. Earthquakes shake the land, the waves grow larger and larger, and many towns and even some cities are slowly dying as a result. Even though this generation has seen its richest merchants, wisest rulers and most powerful souls. Yes, souls.

The land of [insert world name here] is rife with magic, and all of it stems directly from the soul. Each person is born with a special soul inside them. Each soul takes on certain defining characteristics, but all are unique. The power of Souls was discovered long ago, and now Souls have a central role in society.

The current age of [insert world name here] has been blessed with some of the most powerful souls that have ever existed, and perhaps that is part of the problem, as the most powerful souls have always been the most feared.

Souls

The souls of the people of [insert world name here] are all unique, but they do fall into several categories which are listed below. Most souls start very weak, and don't affect the person at all. Over time, the power of their souls will increase until it reaches a certain point. At this point, their soul will take on one of the more specific characteristics of their types.

However, just having a powerful soul doesn't mean you can use it, to use a soul, the bearer must learn how to use it. The soul a person bears is unique, and as such can only be used a certain way known to them alone. Each person's soul is a reflection of their personality and their traits, and they dictate what shape a person's soul takes. That doesn't mean that a soul cannot change a person's personality. Some souls do, and some don't.

Neither personality or soul are dependent on one another, personality has been known to shape the soul, but sometimes souls have been known to warp personalities.







The Power of Souls

The power of souls has never been thoroughly understood, even though it was discovered long ago. There has never been set rules or abilities, and there has never been anything but the defining characteristics of the soul to link one power to the next. Each and every soul has an utterly unique power inside of it, but to obtain the power is something in and of itself.

Each person has a unique way of utilizing their soul, and as such there is no defined way to use their power. If one person is similar to another, then their powers could also be used in a similar way, but this is the only frame of reference that exists for annyone to use. For those with completely unique souls, all they can really do is try as hard as the might, in the hopes of unlocking their latent power.

But this does not mean that it is always difficult to unlock the power of the soul. Each soul is utilized differently, and you will not find the way without looking for it.
Souls in Society

It sounds like you have a lot of stuff to do. I could help if you would like. If you don't, that's fine. I would be interested when this came as an RP though.

Alright, the first thing I really need badly is a name for this world

I'm sort of bad at this kind of thing, so can you help with that?

I'd also possibly like a name for the people in the grey square brackets if that's possible

If not then some brainstorming for the undetermined soul types might be good for me

Alright, I'll create a list of multiple names for the world, and the people in the grey brackets and get them to you as soon as I can. :)

I am willing to assist in this realm, as it is roughly familiar in a few concepts and ideas to a campaign setting or two I've written. That said, I believe there is great potential for building on what is here as a framework, as there's both ample room and time to avoid... I suppose the best term is stereotyping or committing to repetition.

I tend to be better with concepts as a whole than names, locations, persons and the like, if that is of any assistance.

As an example of sorts, I can already imagine a few roles between the souls at hand and the rising chaos of the world itself; explanations and rationale, in a way.

Cool! Can you PM me the details about that last part? I already had a main plot device idea, but I'm open to this kind of thing

EDIT: Although I might not be able to respond right away because I have stuff to do

I am in favor of utilizing oracle, seer or manifester as to describe someone who can actually manipulate, augment, alter or outright manifest their soul's properties into the flesh or through reality changing means. While quite generic, it leaves a sense of mysticism and question to the world at hand; the properties of a soul and its actual usage might be understood as a concept (likely only by those explicitly "in the know"), but it depends on if it is something that's universally understood by most everyone. In short, while everyone has a soul, not everyone knows about it or can even use it.

Mind you it is more or less Mazoy's call.

Oh yeah, I may need help with some kingdoms right now. All I've got that's concrete is written up there, and I have an idea for a desert city and that's just about it.

If you guys could come up with some kingdoms, that would be pretty great!

It's kind of bothersome for me on PMs, now that I think about it. I had the other guy PM me because he might've said something about the plot but he didn't

It's kind of fine either way, but I'd prefer it in here

So, I would be able to help you with the development of souls if you wish. I could also help with Kingdoms.

Sorry, I was asleep!

I have two ideas for a legendary soul and both are kind of important.

The first one is the Fire Emperor who had the strongest fire soul ever. When he first awakened he set his whole city on fire and his soul had to be sealed, but it was so strong it couldn't be sealed completely. Over time it made the nearby lands turn into deserts because of its overpowering heat but those lands have gotten used to it now.

The second one is the Oracle who was a seer who had the ability to see into the future.

The wording one those two a little bit iffy but those two are the only legendary souls I've got so far.

It'll be great if you can help with some of the souls

I need ideas for the cold soul because I only have some vague ones which I came up with just now

And I don't have anything on that lightning/wind soul

I would imagine a cold soul as someone who kept to themselves, probably a part being ambitious (As ice can break down things (rock) as time goes on). I have nothing for the other half.
