Long ago, a war was waged between two nations, Grindinar and Mitan. The battle lasted many years, but in the end, Mitan was victorious. The war was hard fought, and the Mitan, fearing another war would destroy them, created the Tai-Par training grounds. Select boys and girls were chosen and sent to these grounds to be trained by the high monks in the Sha'ai Disciplines. A long time has passed, and the Tai-Par training grounds still exist. But instead of training for war, the people brought here were trained to be Peacekeepers.

At least, that is what you are told. The Tai-Par training grounds have always been shrouded in mystery, and all those who enter are not allowed to tell anyone what goes on there. You are among the most recent chosen to go there and be trained to be a Peacekeeper. You have been loaded up into a wagon, and have set off eastward. Are you nervous, or excited? Fearful of what may lie ahead, or ready to face any challenge put in your way?


So, uh, thats the lore. Not much. This is meant to be a semi-slice-of life style RP (Im not quite sure if i'm going to add a twist to the plot or not). Right now im just looking for interest in the premise. If i get enough i'll expand the setting/lore. Oh, and P.S.: This is an old RP i took from myself from another site, but im not sure if im allowed to post a link to that site.

Quite a concept you've got there. I may or may not join, depending on the equivalent Earth time period, and whether or not the setting contains magic (there are WAY too many settings with magic out there).

I was planning on keeping magic not very powerful, but still good enough to learn over the sword or whatever. As for time period, what changes between Renissance and Mideaval? (Im not the best with history)

The renaissance was a period of learning starting at roughly the late 1400s, in which europe begins a revival of roman culture and science becomes a novelty rather than a heresy.

Key differences include:
- No armor. Armor was given up when the earliest guns were produced, seeing as they could punch right through thick plates.
- Early guns. Things like muskets and one shot pistols that take thirty seconds to reload.
- A large emphasis on the sciences, arts, individualism, and pleasure (at least in the upper classes. The lower classes don't notice any change).

Sorry, i dont find that appealing at all. I'll stick to mideaval. If you're still interested though, i think i have enough interest to start an OOC.

Im afraid i dont know the difference. Whichever is closer to the stereotypical fantasy settings is what i'll probably use.

Actually they still used armor to certain extent. Thing is that only heavy cavalry ever used the full knight armor get up and that was expensive and also becoming inefficient since you had mass firing of guns as a strategy that meant that they were gonna get swiss cheesed.

Also as for my interest in this game. I'm not really attracted to it because it's really vague and I have no clue what we're doing outside of Slice of Life and a school/academy set up. Which again is vague and not very distinctive.

Yeah, i get that. Im working on expanding the lore and maybe adding a twist to the plot. Before i go further, who would want a twist to the plot to make this more interesting?

I think you don't need a twist so much as just more detail and perhaps an actual plot.

@Jerkchicken

There really isnt any plot. As of right now, its all going to be explaining the setting further and slice-of-life play. Im asking if anyone wants any actual plot.

@Wishful Stray

Thanks for the interest. I'll definitely get started in the setting more.

@Grnmachine Do we all have to play students (which is fine), or can we play an instructor?

I'd probably want a plot since just pure slice of life is pretty boring to me.
