OK so I had this idea way back when and I wanna try it out and see how far it goes. I should mention that the ideas for how the plot will go are still not exactly certain so I will probably be looking for people who are committed to be cogms to help me out from the get go. Any who! Here's my idea.
Since the beginning, there have been 2 major races: the children of the light and the children of the darkness. However, this is not a story of good verses evil. No, no. Neither side is considered "good" or "evil". As a matter of fact, both children or light and dark were once allies.
The children of the light and the dark stayed on their sides of the border and on occasion, would interact with each other. This is because neither side can last very long on the opposing territory, often meeting at the boarder between the two wolds. Both worlds and both races were very different. The children of the light are beings of beauty that rivaled that of the dazzling sun. They are healers and creature of life. Their world is bathed in sunlight, warmth, and life. The children of light are, by nature, kind, warm, gentle people. They specialize in fire, light, lightning, healing, and water magic. They are have slender, thin, lean builds, and are very quick, agile, people. Physically they are weak and tend to rely on their speed more. The children of the light are elves, angels, humans, fearies, and any other being know to dance in the sunlight.
On the other hand, the children of the dark are beings shrouded in darkness and mystery. They are also very beautiful beings, however, their beauty reflects that of the Moon. Like the moon, their beauty is best seen in the dark, where they thrive. Their world is that of eternal darkness, cold, and death. Very little vegetation grows there and their world is always covered in a thin layer of frost. From a young age, the children of darkness are taught to be ruthless, cunning, and cruel. They are trained to be the perfect warriors. They are strong and fast. Their builds tend to be tall, broad shouldered, and muscular. On some occasions there will be a few with more lean slender build. The specialize in dark, ice, Earth, illusion, blood, and black magic. The children of the dark consist of demons, phantoms, werewolves, vampires, and any other creature that has been known to lurk in the shadows.
Everything was fine and dandy between the two races for many, many years. However, like all typical stories of light and dark forces, things didn't go to well and war broke out between the two nations.The cause of this war? Simple. Growing populations. The nation of the dark had a sudden population BOOM, and with a larger population comes the need for more land for citizens to reside and the need for more food to sustain the new lives.
The king of darkness went to the king of light, asking for a small portion of land to sustain this sudden large growth. The king of light, fearing that if he gave the land would cause an uprising or the king of darkness to ask for more land, refused to give up the land. Thus the king of darkness returned to his hungry, crowded kingdom empty handed.
Time went on and the population of the children of darkness continued to grow at a rapid rate. The kingdom had become desperate and finally decided to take the land by force. This is where the war official begins. At first it was just a few raids from against the farmers. It was an annoyance, to say the least, for the farmers to come home to find their crops stolen or destroyed. However, what caused the children of light to retaliate was when a child was hit in the crossfire and ended up succumbing to their injuries.
More time passes and the war is full swing between the two nations. Both sides have created well fortified armies. Raids and loss of innocent life has become fairly common for both races. So much so, that the population has dropped to the point where both races would be able to live comfortably in their old borders. So why is both races still at war? Over the years spent fighting, rumors, bitterness, grudges, hatred, and the need for vengeance have consumed both races. What was once a squirmish over a small bit of territory, has become a war over old grudges, greed, hatred, and pride. It has become a war in which no side can win. The only way to stop this war now and to save both sides from destruction, is through love and forgiveness. But how can such a thing occur after years of blood and senseless slaughter? That's what you are going to have to find out.
Will love manage to somehow bloom on the battlefield and save both races?
Or
Will both sides end up destroying each other out of hate and greed?
That's about how far I have gotten! Again, I will be needing cogms to help me out with developing plot and such so if you are interested and willing to be committed to the thread then please speak up! If I get enough people interested then I will make this into a possible reality! I want to have at least 6 or more characters before we start. If we get to making an official thread then I will put more details about both races (like what subraces makes up each race and what they are capable and such). For now I just want to see who would be interested in something like this.
