The World of Mages
There is a world that you know nothing about. A world where magic exists and mages save us from certain death. And all of this is just in front of us. But we never notice. In this secret world, the mages of each country are governed by a Sanctuary, which basically just makes sure you don't try to bring back age old gods to destroy the human race. You laugh but that's a thing that happened.
There aren't many different races. Not as many as most books would lead you to believe at least. There's no hot as hell, sex bomb elves. There are werewolves but I'd recommend avoiding them. Same thing with vampires. They don't sparkle. They eat people. Kind of a big difference. There are goblins. They're rather nasty though. And there's the Children of the Spider. But don't get me started on them. Creepy bastards have a bad history with the Sanctuary.
Magic
There are two basic types of mages. Elementals and Adepts. Elementals are rather simple. They control the elements. Adepts is where it gets a little more confusing. An Adept could be able to do anything from walk on the ceiling, to Necromancy. They pick what they want to train in, though they often have to pay a price for abilities such as invulnerability.
The Story So Far
Three weeks ago, a group of mages calling themselves the True Sanctuary, separated from the Irish Sanctuary and declared war. Since then, the mages working for the Irish Sanctuary have been attacked numerous times by the rebels, and the Irish Sanctuary has begun to focus all their efforts on dealing with the rebellion. The mages of Ireland are in an all out war, and anyone who can fight worth a damn is expected to help. The Grand Mage, China Sorrows, has called for the forming of specialized squadrons to help fight this war. In this war, no one is safe.
So for those of you who don't know, this is an RP based around the world of the Skulduggery Pleasant series. If you haven't read the books, I strongly recommend doing so, but it isn't required at all for participation in this roleplay. The info I gave you above is probably rather confusing, but since there's a whole hell of a lot to cover, I figured I'd go much more in depth if this garnered enough interest to make it to OOC. So anyways, basically our characters will be part of one of these specialized squadrons mentioned above, tasked with thwarting the plans of some of the rebel mages. If anyone's interested just leave a comment below. I'd like at least 4 or 5 more people before I make an OOC.
