You can’t halt progress in the end. No matter how set in your ways you are. If you don’t change with the world around you, you will find yourself obsolete. So we change, we adapt, and we grow stronger for it.

This is my call to those who would hear it. Angel’s Landing needs you. A new enemy stalks the streets of Angel’s Landing and we are the ones who can defend it. To those of you who have the will and the strength to do it. The Tower of Stars is looking for new recruits. The ranks of The Knights of Stars have grown thin and our enemies have grown stronger.

Heed the call those of you who would join me.

Setting

Knighthood takes place in the city of Angel’s Landing. Millennium of war and peace have ground the city of Angel’s Landing to dust time and time again only to have the city to be rebuilt upon the old cities bones. Now it is home to towers that rise from the slum streets where the higher you go the richer it gets...and the deeper into the skeleton of catacombs beneath the streets you go the poorer and more dangerous it gets.

The setting is Fantasy turns sci-fi as Galendar started out as a fantasy setting. This can be seen in the way that the line between technology and magic is not always clear. It can also be scene in the large variation in lifespan and the appearance of races that are traditionally seen in fantasy settings making use of your 60th century top of the line tech in conjunction with their 5000th year old magic.

Characters

As a result of the setting characters should be a mesh of fantasy character concepts with a sci-fi spin. Or a Sci-fi concept with a fantasy slant. Ex: Knight who uses nanobot strengthened armor, a shield of kinetic force and a sword capable of changing form to a variety of other weapons. Or. A ship mechanic with a penchant for magic items used for repair on his high tech vehicles. Please feel free to come at this from either angle but you should try to balance your character between having a sense of fantasy and an edge of the cyber. Treasure planet, Shadowrun, and The Asgard from Marvel's new Thor movies are good places to draw inspiration.

Characters will be new recruits or possibly veteran members of the Tower of Stars guild. Characters should possess some sort of tech, magic or combat expertise. They Tower of Stars takes a variety of individuals everything from ex soldiers, to hackers, to mages. The guild is not a military organization but one of its primary functions is combat.

The Tower of Stars provides a variety of services for its contractors, some of the jobs are less than savory and it is rumored occasionally have included assassination. All of the jobs taken are approved by The Master of Stars and The Avatar of Storms himself, Christian Highfell. Christian allows many of the members of the Tower of Stars to take their own jobs usually with a cursory approval.

Characters should have a strong backstory and ideas for their own jobs as well as a means for fitting into the overall plot line of The Tower of Stars battle for survival in Angel’s Landing against The Stygian Blade guild.

If you are interested I have the OOC up as we speak. I do have a few characters and players that should have their stuff up in the next couple of days but no worries I have a longer timeline in mind for this so please. Drop in and check it out.

OOC

At last!!!! I'm so in! >}

I hope some other people are as excited as you are

Haha they better be, it'll be awesome!

And to everyone lurking, don't be scared of my ava and sig, I'm a real darling.

Interesting. I almost wish the scale were larger, as I always have many ideas that can only be used where science and fantasy meet.

What do you mean the scale was larger? and im glad to see such immediate interest

Yes, I like this.

Awesome, feel free to poke your head into the OOC. Im currently writing up and posting my characters and NPCs that need to be finished up

As it is, we're defending a single city against a smallish group of enemies. Or so I can best tell. With such low stakes, it feels like there is very little creative room to wiggle around in, and stretch the possibilities of the fused genres.

Well to be honest you'll be taking missions that could conceivably stretch all over Galendar outside of just the City of Angel's landing. The sheer volume of material ive added to Galendar over the course of using it a bit as my D&D setting so I decided I'd keep the core of it focused so that no one gets super overwhelmed but if you had some other ideas id be open to them.

Very interested. I shall check this out in more detail after classes.

Yay more new people

@ThemerlinhawkIs this still open to join. SOunds interesting enough

@Crazy Doctor Yes please come join us

Figured I'd bump this. We are finishing up our first little plot arc. We currently have 5 active people total including myself. If you see this anday are interested we aren'the very far and it is easy to join the fun if you're interested

@Themerlinhawk Would an android archer/ witch work? They wouldn't be able to use magic per se, but they have managed to blur the line between chemistry, nanotech, and magic in the form of potions and mystical brews.

@TheUnknowableThat sounds like a really interesting character idea. The ooc should be in the first post you're welcome to hop on over and join us. I can provide details for any questions you may have. so ask away

Is there an explainer for the magic system somewhere, so I can adapt my character? Most of his "potions" are just chemicals and biochemicals, many enhanced by nanobots he can control (he adds a drop of his "blood") but there could be a few that don't fit.

Here you go, this is the opening post. I would say that potions would be a sort of alchemy that could either be wild or channeled magic depending on where the magic is coming from that is being stored in the potions. Additionally for the most part technology is pretty damn advanced so if the potions are largely a form of tech then that is okay too. Also that is the opening post so it has a lot of the important info. There is a fair bit of stuff that ive left out specifics for because i didnt want to overwhelm people with info that wasn't immediately relevant or interesting to them, so if you have specific questions i can dig up the more detailed info upon request. Like for instance the God section is purposefully vague so if you take a liking to one of them lemme know

I just noticed the magic section in the OP of the OOC. I think I'll say it's a form of Wild magic, that his nanites can absorb and store the most types of magical energy inside themselves for later use. Would that work?
