To whom it may concern, greetings and welcome to the Griffins. We are also known as the Rebellion, or in less polite circles, Those Fucking Anarchists. This letter is here to help you get situated, and informed about what is going on. And that starts with a history lesson. Don't worry, it's a fun one. So, as you may or may not have guessed from the evil sorceress who took over the world, magic is real. Now, our friendly neighborhood dictator would have you believe that she has granted those who deserve it, magic, and that she is a godsend, here to bless us in any way possible.
Well that's a load of horseshit. And let me tell you why. Since the beginning of time, magic has always been around. It's in the air, the tress, the water, even in you. Sorcerers are just the lucky people who are able to harness that magic. Now, long before all this, but just a little bit after the dinosaurs, sorcerers and normal humans coexisted. But, seeing as us humans are the literal scum of the earth, we drove the sorcerers away. This created a discord between the two groups, and as they evolved, they grew farther and farther apart, until the humans believed magic to be nothing but a fairy tale.
All that changed in the year 1922. That was when sorcerers were discovered. And that's when the world began to crumble. On January 1st, 1922, the sorcerers came out publicly to every government around the world. And they were greeted with open arms. Their powers helped advance technology at rapid speeds, and they helped to heal some of the worst ailments. But there were men and women out there who despised the sorcerers for their powers, angry that they didn't have their abilities.
None of this hatred was helped by the fact that sorcerers were becoming more and more common. By the year 1975, sorcerers made up almost 40% of the world's population. And if it's one thing humans don't like, it's being threatened. Worried that the, "good-old fashioned, normal folk" would soon become extinct, violence against sorcerers became much more common. Despite their powers, it was hard to defend against a surprise bullet to the face.
All this violence led to rifts between the "norms" and the sorcerers. And it's what led to where we are today. America was always a hub of sorcerer activity. A majority of America was in fact, sorcerers and as such, in 2000, Lucille Laurent was elected the first sorceress president of the United States. She'd pledged to end violence against sorcerers and to unite the people as one loving group of humans.
And unite them she did. By 2004, she'd enslaved the norms of America, and called for sorcerers all over the world to rise up against the humans and destroy them. And many did. By 2007, Lucille Laurent was now Empress Lucille Laurent of the Sorcerers' World Order. Yeah, it's pretentious I know. Humans were forced to work, and the sorcerers who didn't agree with that, were killed.
The humans who escaped enslavement and the sorcerers who went against Lucille soon found each other. Their common enemy turned them into allies, and they formed the Griffins, a name chosen for what it represented. The humans are the lion, angry but strong and stubborn. And the sorcerers are the eagle, granting the lion the wings and the talons it needs to defeat it's foes. It's beautiful I know.
So yeah, that brings us to 2016. The Griffins are hard at work trying to bring that bitch Lucille to her knees, but it's a hard war to fight. Luckily, we have you. Yeah, this is a generic letter, addressed to everyone, but everyone who joins the Griffins is important. A war isn't won without people. Remember that, and train hard.
Sincerely,
Jessica Lancaster
So, basically this RP is about a rebellion against a sorcerer dictator. It takes place in an alternate history, where magic is real, and b now is more common than non-magical humans. Our characters will be members of the rebellion and they can be either humans or sorcerers, it doesn't really matter but yeah. If you're interested or have any questions just say something down below.
