[OOC] Humans VS. Magic-Users (Ch.1:Beginnings)

RP-Status:Open (Temporarily Accepting new applicants)
𝓗𝒱𝓜
Humans vs Magic Users
Plot/Overview:

(No surprise) Simple as the title, players will create characters which are Human or 'Magic user'. These two factions, as history entails, constantly rival and even attempt to destroy one another. Zero reason other than vengeance, upon vengeance fuels the animosity between them. Only one factor differentiates Human & Magic-User; Magic-users possess one 'Magi-Talent'. A innate magic feat/ability. Minor as this detail may be, chaos still riddles the world. However we must ask, Players, what will your actions unfold? What path will you forge?

(Another term for Magic-User = Magi) and their magical 'talent'. Overusing this ability can risk grave harm, even death. Mana is the energy which fuels magic. Thus a Magi requires mana, which flows through their body, to harness, cast, utilize, or activate their ability. Allowing this 'mana reservoir' or 'mana bank' to deplete to pure emptiness will cause the subject to die. For a magi's body heavily relies on the mana which flows through them. First signs of mana-overuse or using their ability to much within a certain time span are dizziness, headaches, aching of body, and fatigue. Next, their bodies senses could become dulled or lessened or nausea could be enduced. Thirdly they could take on symptoms of illness. Finally being death or comatose stasis. Things such as rest, relaxation or eating can refil someones lost mana reserves or energy. Just like if someone were to over exhaust themselves physically.

 Now I would like to cover another, final feature to Magi Talents. Of course, a Magi only possesses one talent or ability. Example being, a Magi who can manipulate/create/harness the element of fire. However, Magi can have a 'secondary trait' or 'side-effect' to their ability. Example being, one who manipulates fire, is natrually resistant to high-temperatures or even fire itself. Another example could be, someone who has extremely high/magically empowered speed, they could process things quicker so their movements or actions are not blurs. A final example could be, someone with super-strength, could also possess some sort of resistance factor. So if they used full strength and punched a wall, they wouldn't break their bones or etc.

Couple things about the world. Turmoil and chaos greatly thwart the blossom/progression of technology and even society/civilizations as a whole. Here's a few things to quickly cover. 

Pseudo-modern - regions of this world possess marvels of current age such as hospitals and even motor-vehicle transportation. While other regions exist within a 'medieval' state, using fire as a light and heat source could be the norm. (Any questions on the sense this makes, please ask, for i question how much others will understand this rule x.x )
The colossal land-mass which this story/RP takes place greatly deters the ideals of exploring outward or by sea. (At least for most.) Not to mention, majority of the land remains unclaimed or 'wild'. Thus could be typical for civilians to 'endure the hardships of home' rather than forge their own path/colony. (Also, surviving as a whole can prove rather strenuous between nature/the wild, along with the turmoil between Humans and magic-users.)
I'd like to ban guns as a whole, but i'll simply say (Unless all players decide to ban guns entirely) this RP's universe and it's fire-arms level will replicate around the time of about 1500's-1700's. or better yet, i'll cover below what i expect/we should have.Matchlock Musket/Pistol is the most common and only type of fire-arm. Even then, they are rare.
Firearms are far from being mass produced. Yet some militia have been known to use them. (Yet is very rare.)
Cannon's exist. So do grenades/bombs. They are far more common then (Matchlock weapons) hand-held fire arms.
Humans invented firearms, cannons and bombs to combat magi and the wild.
Gunpowder and ability/place to forge these weapons, aggravates or intensifies their rarity.
Currently standing, Fire-arms, Cannons and Grenades/bombs are a marvel/rare. Thus, this realm is far from the transition of 'life by the blade' to 'life by the bullet/explosive'.
Areas or settlements of importance within the RP will easily be able to be entered/created by players. (Once their character is submitted or simultaneously.) Simply start a PM with myself and anyone involved with the idea(s)(Not required, but titling the PM 'HVM Dev: (Usernames involved) would be extremely helpful.) Then we will start working on/proceed with installing the new RP lore. Also, to submit a new settlement. I will need to ask people to follow the template which will be placed below. This outline will ensure enough details will be explained/exist for ease of interaction for players which did not create the settlement.
Name: Title/Name of the settlement goes here, pretty simple.

Human or Magi Settlement: Which 'faction' is dominant. (Do both factions exist? (Rare, but possible.))

Alignment:  A settlement's alignment is the general alignment of its citizens and government—individuals. Those who dwell therein can still be of any alignment, but the majority of its citizens should be within one step of the settlement's overall alignment. Click here to see a page showing alignments.  

Population: This number represents the settlement's population. Note that the exact number is flexible; a settlement's actual population can swell on market/event days or dwindle during winter. This number lists the average population of the settlement. Note that this number is not strict and more used for assistance in clarification or helping fruition of the idea. After the settlement's total population, a breakdown of its racial mix (percentages) could be (So not required) listed in parentheses.Thorp - Fewer than twenty.
Hamlet - 21 to 61
Village - 62 to 200
Small Town - 201 to 1,000
Large Town - 1,001 to 3,000
Small City - 3,001 to 5,000
Large City - 5,001 to 10,000
Kingdom - 15k
 

Government: This entry lists how the settlement is governed and ruled. Here's a few types to help generate ideas.Autocracy: A single individual chosen by the people rules the community. Leader's actual title can vary-mayor, burgomaster, lord, or even royal titles like duke or prince are common.
Colonial: Settlements ruler is a figure-head for a distant colonial power: a magistrate, governor, minor landed noble, or etc. He or she may have limited autonomy in running the colony, but ultimately answers to the colony's founding power. Colonies are typically seen as resources for their founding government, not having much political power or influence.
Council: A group of councilors, often composed of guild master members or members of the aristocracy, leads the settlement.
Magical: An individual or group with potent magical power, such as A high priest, an archwizard, or etc leads the community.
Military: The settlement is an armed garrison that exists solely to serve the military forces deployed there. It may be a massive military base and training complex, a wilderness fortress or a keep that patrols a major trade route, depending on its size. The settlement may even be an ordinary town or city that recently fell under military rule after a coup or uprising that led to the declaration of martial law.
Overlord: The community's ruler is a single individual who either seized control or inherited command of the settlement.
Secret Syndicate: An unofficial or illegal group like a thieves' guild rules the settlement-they may use a puppet leader to maintain secrecy, but the group members pull the strings in town.
Dynasty:Power is concentrated in the hands of a single family or a small group of closely related, inter-married families. These elites have ruled the settlement since its inception, and manipulated the power structure to ensure they remain in power.
Plutocracy: The wealthiest and most influential merchants rule this settlement. Wealth is seen as a sign of good character, ethics and even divine favor. The poor have few, if any rights that the wealthy are bound to respect.


Qualities: Settlements often have unusual qualities that make them unique. I'll list a few to get you started, if this section is applicable. Here's some ideas to get the ball rolling. (Or even use.) Academic: Settlement possesses a school, training facility, or university of great renown.
Holy Site: Settlement hosts a shrine, temple, or landmark with great significance to one or more religions.
Insular: Settlement is Isolated, perhaps physically or even spiritually. Its citizens are fiercely loyal to one another.
Notorious: Settlement has a reputation (Deserved or not) for whatever reason it may be.
Pious: Settlement is known for it's inhabitants' good manners, friendly spirit, and deep devotion to a deity.
Prosperous: Settlement is a popular hub for trade. Merchants are wealthy and citizens live well.
Rumor-mongering Citizens: Settlement's citizens are nosy and gossipy by fault. -very little happens in the settlement that no one knows about.
Strategic Location: Settlement sits at an important crossroads or alongside a deep-water port, or it serves as a barrier to pass a bridge. Tourist
Attraction: Settlement possesses some sort of landmark or event that draws visitors from far and wide.
Abundant: The settlement has access to extraordinary natural resources: rich farmland, a deep lake, excellent hunting grounds nearby or even a convenient source of magical sustenance. The local food surplus makes the settlement a major exporting hub, and increases the standard of living for its inhabitants.
Artist's Colony: The settlement is renowned for the excellence of its local artists, performers and craftsfolk.
Asylum: The settlement is host to an infamous madhouse or asylum (or perhaps a prison, gaol or notorious workhouse). The presence of these dangerous, mad souls has hardened the townsfolk, making them suspicious of strangers and paranoid about the possibility of an escape or other tragedy.
Gambling:The settlement caters to vice and greed. Casinos, gaming houses, opium dens and bordellos are all common here, and serve as the town's major industry.
Guilds:A variety of trade and mercantile guilds control the town's industry and trade. These guilds are highly specialized (a printer's guild, an eggler's guild, a swordsmith's guild, a diamond cutter's guild,ect), and usually semi-hereditary, with children following their parents into the guild.


Terrain: The landscape which this settlement exists upon. 

Dangers/Disadvantages: Any disadvantages or dangers a settlement might be suffering from are listed on this line. A settlement can have any number of disadvantages you wish to inflict on it, although many settlements have no disadvantages. Here are some examples. Anarchy:The settlement has no leaders—this type of community is often short-lived and dangerous.
Bureaucratic Nightmare:The settlement is a nightmarish, confusing and frustrating maze of red tape, official paperwork and petty tyrants in positions of minor power, who relish enforcing all the useless little rules.
Fascistic:The settlement is governed by a totalitarian regime. Sadistic and legally all-powerful soldiers walk the streets, enforcing the settlement's brutal laws. Outsiders are mistrusted and undesirables often simply disappear.
Hunted:A powerful group or monster uses the city as its hunting ground. Citizens live in fear and avoid going out on the streets unless necessary.
Impoverished: Because of any number of factors, the settlement is destitute. Poverty, famine, and disease run rampant.
Plagued: The community is suffering from a protracted contagion or malady.
Rampant Inflation: Towns sprung up around a rich mining camp or profitable dungeon, and settlements undergoing a revolution or military junta alike, this settlement's economy is out of control.
Soul Crushing:The settlement has an oppressive, frightening atmosphere. Its architecture is eerie and seems somehow wrong or corrupt. The people are strange and furtive.

Imports/Exports: Major purchases and sales of the settlement.

Specialized Jobs: Jobs native/special to the settlement. Or a list of most promenent/common jobs to be upheld within the settlement.

Currency System: Currency which the settlement created/utilizes. Could be simple bartering. (Many/most settlements within this world, use Gems for trading.)

Notable NPCs: This section lists any notable NPCs who live in the city, sorted by their role in the community, followed by their name and then their alignment, gender, and race, in parentheses. Example: Mayor (Fredrick, Neutral, Male, Human/Magic-User)

Player-Character Origins: This section lists any Player-Characters who's life started here. Or who's majority of their life beginning was spent here.   

Summery/Information: A little paragraph or piece describing the settlement. Or an area to cover things which are not able to be explained within the previous sections.

[b]Summery/Information[/b]:
Speaking of 'wild' or untamed lands within this world. One should be informed of the several 'mythical type' creatures which roam the world. Pixies: (Typically found in deep/dense forests, or swamps.) Many are seen as a 'small orb of energy with wings' due to being to small for the human eye to perceive it's faintly humanoid appearance. They do not communicate or cannot communicate with humans or any being besides their own kind. Yet, oddly enough, have been known to be protected by other creatures. Finally, they are abundant with Mana energy. Thus Magi have been known to 'prepare' or create 'mana potions' out of them or consume them outright to regain/replenish their mana.
Golems: Two different types of Golem exist. Ent's, which are Wood Golems. Then, Geog's which are Stone/Rock golems. Stone golems have been known to have the ability to disassemble themselves to appear as a normal batch of rocks, enabling a surprise or hide factor from enemies. (Not to mention making them harder to kill.) Whereas Wood/Forest golems can never perform such feats. (Although many hide among trees impeccably well. As though camouflaged.)
Dire-Animals: Larger, tougher, meaner versions of ordinary animals. Such as (But not limited to) Wolves, Gorillas/Apes, Boars, Bears, Scorpions, Arachnids and Big Cats.
Basilisk: (Known to inhabit dense/deep forests and deep cave-systems.) Technically a form of 'Dire-Snake', yet possesses venom which petrifies the victim. However this 'petrification' process is not instantaneous. Skin or even material exposed to this venom turns into stone. (People have been known to live with 'petrified' or stone-limbs, due to the limb or etc not being exposed to enough venom.)
RULES:
Site rules: Alike all content on this site, one must be asked to follow the site rules. Yes elements of gore/violence will be apart, or can be, yet that does not mean we will go overboard. (We don't need reports or readers vomiting from our posts.)
Application-Process: To enter/partake in this Role-Play. One must post their character and 'apply' within the OOC. Once permission is given, said character can be posted in the CS thread. Also said accepted character may then post/be active in the IC. Even if someone possesses a character which is accepted. They must apply with each and every character made. Even if the new character is an NPC.
Play nice: Ya know, the standard stuff. Don't auto-hit or god-mod. No perfect/flawless characters. Maintain a good 'posting flow' so no double posting. (Wait for two people to post, before yourself.) And all that happy stuff.
Communication is key: Please, start PM's with me if you have ideas or concepts to pitch. This could mean anything from simple character background/development, locations/areas for the world, and even future plot events to unfold within our adventures with this Role-Play.
Vulgarity: Keep swearing to a minimum, I don't want to read curses for the sake of cursing. Now, adding flavor or 'style' to a character, is another story. (This goes for violence too, fighting may be a part of this, but please refrain from going overboard with gore.)
Character limit: Currently 2, unless otherwise arranged.
Post flow: Once someone posts, they must wait for two people to post before they can post again. (This is in place to avoid 'speed-posting'.
Combat: If two people cannot conclude a winner/victor of a dispute in character. The GM's will be the judge of that. Pretty much meaning two dice will be rolled, one for each character, the higher number will be the winner. (I doubt we will encounter this as a problem, I believe in you all.)
Plot armor: Yes, it can exist. I will never force someone, to have a character die. Yet I encourage others to remember. “Death can be our strongest tools as writers.” Something I was once told. On my spectrum of things, I'll typically notify players outright, when/if a NPC I control, is kill-able or possesses 'plot-armor'.
Not as important: Despite possessing an 'arena' tag/genre. The only reason it does, stems from factor of high character-combat probability. Thus, competition isn't truly the element/genre, but sheer combat capability/element is. (Hopefully that makes sense)
Concerning Player Count: Once three players other than myself are accepted, IC will start. Optimal/Goal amount of players will be five. However, if eight players other than myself are active the RP status will be switched from 'apply' to 'closed'. (Having a Co-Gm(s) can alter this number/situation) This rule is not in effect until needed IC wise.


Review: Important points


Players will create a Human or Magic user.
Never forget, conflict or hatred exists heavily between the 'factions' or 'groups' of Humans and Magic Users. (Hence the title of the RP.)
Magi/Magic-Users, only possess one magical talent or innate ability. Also, overuse of this power within a small time-span is deadly.
Character sheet format exist within the 'CS' section.

Sounds good @LetMeDoStuff

Personal note for those observing the thread. I have some plots for the RP to start off. Yet this chapter may be more of an 'intro' for peoples characters, or simply grant chance to have characters get to know eachother. (Or even follow some characters plots/storylines) Whereas the more 'lengthy' plots, will cause other chapters to start. (Doubting I'll change threads for new chapters, probably just have the title changed, or have a note visible on the first post. When new chapters begin/initiate.)

@LetMeDoStuff Sounds more than reasonable. Looks like SaikaAnge is working on one. Let's hope some more show up within the next few days! 

GM/Settlement Note: I'm going to try and get up some 'starter locations' today & tomorrow. Though i should let people know in advanced, unless otherwise desired. I don't plan on having a full fledged 'map' for the RP to follow. But in certain descriptions I'll let people know what direction Settlements/civilizations are in correspondence to one another. Allowing people to work their own ideas in, or not be overly restricted/feel they have to follow a guild-line/map. (Since in my history of RP'ing, i've found outright maps to be 'restricting') Also, like the OP states. People are more than welcome to help build settlements/areas/help the RP with ideas. While they enter their character.

Also, added a 'settlements' section on the first post of the CS thread. So settlements created/active can be put within said section.

Here are the settlments I've created thus-far.

They are semi-subjective to update/edits. For example, several bits of NPC information will be plugged in later on.

Personal/GM Note: This 'Chapter' of the RP, will mostly take place around the settlements of, Moonbright-Village, Jin's Shack/Cabin, and Thalburn. (Along with any other player settlements created, if the creator so chooses!)

Please note: This is where the GM's character, Jin, will start. West is the village of Moonbright. Even further North-west is Thalburn. Then, extremely far, to the east Alfheim stands.

Name: Jin's Shack/Cabin

Human or Magi Settlement: Magi

Alignment: Neutral

Population: Thorp – One (at the moment)

Government: Anarchy – Not enough people live within this small area, Jin 'upholds' the law around there, due to it being his home.

Qualities: Insular: Settlement is Isolated. Common for people to travel nearby this location without actually stumbling upon it.

Terrain: Located within a forest. This forest is located within the center or between several other civilizations. Yet traveling to said civilizations can be quite a long journey. (Except that of the village of 'Moonbright'.) A sizable lake is also located not far from the 'Shack'. Yet neither is visible from each-others location.

Dangers/Disadvantages: Distance: Located several miles from any settlement, getting outside help or resources can be a difficult or 'long' task to complete. Hunted: Wild monsters/animals commonly stumble or observe this location and use it as a hunting ground. Especially due to it's lack of people protecting it.

Imports/Exports: None, other than the services which Jin provides to passerby's as a guide or selling/trading animal goods. (Such as hides/tusks/fangs etc.)

Specialized Jobs: N/A due to size

Currency System: Barter and Trade

Notable NPCs: Jin 'Sin' Baal

Player-Character Origins: Owner of this shack is long gone/dead. So this section isn't really applicable.

Summery/Information: A decent log-cabin of sorts, located within a dense forest. The forest is typically avoided due to the harsh terrain or hazardous wild-life within. Another thing worth mentioning this forest is centering several civilizations, large and small.

Please note: Closest settlement/area to where the GM's character will start. (Thus, west of Jin's Shack/Cabin) North-west of this location is Thalburn. Alike all of the settlements, Alfheim exists extremely far East.

Name:  Moonbright 

Human or Magi settlement: Mostly Humans, Magi are typically outcasted or 'shooed away'

Alignment: Lawful-Good

Population: Est. eighty to one-hundred citizens (Village)

Government: Anarchy/the citizens rule this small settlement.

Qualities: Rumor-mongering Citizens: Settlement's citizens are nosy and gossipy by fault. -very little happens in the settlement that no one knows about.

Terrain: Rolling hills

Dangers/Disadvantages:  Anarchy:Village is protected or law is enforced by the civilians, thus possesses no militia. Other than those who instructed themselves to be. Hunted: Powerful/wild beasts and some threats of magi/mankind seek to cause harm upon this settlement or use it as a hunting ground.

Imports/Exports: An inn/tavern is the most 'business' structure within the place.

Specialized Jobs: Barkeep, Maid, Server/waiter/waitress, Self-proclaimed guard/peacekeeper

Currency System: Barter and trade

Notable NPCs: Tavern-Owner/Barkeep (Ron, Neutral, Male, Magi) 

Player-Character Origins:

Summery/Information: Rather small human settlement located within a set of hills. The terrain often causes people to waltz right past it, or endure difficulty discovering the location. Citizens are kind to outsiders, though if they are discovered to be a Magi or someone who wishes to live there. This kindness tends to fade. The settlement is centered by an 'inn/tavern'. The barkeep or owner of this tavern provides a lot of the protection/guidance to this place.

Name: Thalburn

Human or Magi Settlement: Human

Alignment: Lawful-evil

Population:  Large-City: Est. 8k citizens

Government: Overlord: The community's ruler is a single individual who either seized control or inherited command of the settlement.

Qualities: Attraction: Several things invoke travelers to come from far and wide. One is the gambling/casino setups. Another would be the 'fire-arm/explosive' manufacturing business who recieves 'lax taxing' due to 'arming the military'.
(Semi)Prosperous:Despite the harsh taxing of the militia/government, this settlement is a decent hub for trade. Merchants and wealthy live extremely well.
Gambling: The settlement caters to vice and greed. Casinos, gaming houses, and bordellos are all common here, and serve as one of the town's major industry.

Terrain: Sitting atop a massive plain, scarce thickets of woods littered around the City. If a force of any militia of sizable number marched upon this settlement, their presence would be detailed long before their arrival.

Dangers/Disadvantages: Fascistic: The settlement is governed by a totalitarian regime. Sadistic and legally all-powerful soldiers walk the streets, enforcing the settlement's brutal laws. Outsiders are mistrusted and undesirables often simply disappear.
Impoverished: Because of any number of factors, the settlement contains sections suffering great destitute.

Imports/Exports: A fire-arm/explosive manufacturing business, Weapon-smiths/Blacksmiths, Casino/Gambling attraction employee, 

Specialized Jobs: Fire-arms/Explosives craftsman, Militia, Medic/Doctor,

Currency System: Barter & Trade, Thalburn Galleon. (Coin system)

Notable NPCs: Thalburn-King (Kain, Chaotic-Evil, Male, Human), 

Player-Character Origins:

Summery/Information: One could call Thalburn an 'industrial' or 'technologic' marvel, compared to other civilizations within the world. Not only is the militia which protects this settlement armed with 'cannon's, explosives, and muskets'. The civilization itself shows abundant use of indoor plumbing and electricity. Of course, due to size, magi live within the towering walls of this city. Yet the militia doesn't take kind to Magi. In reality, the militia which runs the place, are rather out of control and power-mongering/abusing. Horrific taxation runs rampant, to keep the military, hospitals/medics and etc well equiped or status. Magi are not 'banned' from living within Thalburn, they are just constantly watched and harassed. Even more so than the average civilian or passerby traveler.

Please note: This settlement is one of the furthest from the starting location of the RP. It's information is here purely to allow people have knowledge of it. For I would like, the start of the RP to not partake within this Settlement. 

Name:  Alfheim (More of a territory, or collection of towns.)

Human or Magi Settlement: Both, yet Magi populous is far larger than human.

Alignment: True Neutral (Civilians of all spectrum exist in Alfheim)

Population: Est. Two-Thousand inhabitants (Large Town)

Government: Council: The Agricultural guild, Artisan guild, Mercenary Guild, Stonemason Guild. Each has a respective leader, who is involved with the Council. Also, the 'Alfheim militia' possesses a leader involved with said council. These five individuals are entrusted with governing or guiding Alfheim. Of course, each of these Council Members, possess two and maybe even three subordinates who they are training to possibly one day take their spot. Yet each have a 'right-hand subordinate or individual' who would be instantly permitted their position if something tragic occurred. Council members are able to be voted out or replaced, if enough votes are issued or 'proper protocol' is endured. (However, one guild cannot veto another guilds leader, unless under specific circumstance.) 

Qualities: Academic/Guild: This place hosts several academic and guild organizations. Enabling training/enlistment in any Institution. (Only certain guilds allow 'dual-membership'. For example, the 'Alfheim Militia' will not enlist/accept you, if you are apart of the 'Mercenary guild'. Yet the Stonemason guild, will accept you if you are apart of the Alfheim Militia or Mercenary Guild.)
Insular: Of course, this society shares it's own sets of creeds and cliques. Though despite this, this civilization shows outstanding loyalty or protection over one another. Also, this place is rather 'isolated' to outside forces or circumstances.
Prosperous: An active hub for traders and travelers. Though individuals who wish to 'lawfully barter' in aspects of selling items or being a merchant, they must be involved or familiar with the 'Artisans Guild'. Just like, any who wish to enlist their services as a 'builder' or 'architect' must be a member of the 'Stonemasons Guild'.
Notorious: Alfheim shows notoriety due to it's system of government, along with their use or active guilds which thrive within it's boarders.

Terrain: Plains, forest and one mountain exist in this territory/area. Capitol is a castle/fortress of sorts, whereas several villages exist around the area. 

Dangers/Disadvantages: The stretch of 'wilds' between each 'minor town' or around the capitol causes dangerous beasts to roam (or even bandits) within this area. Though a good portion is kept 'in check' or 'monitored' from the militia or mercenaries guild within it.

Imports/Exports: Resources gathered from animals/beasts killed within the territory, Jewelry created from the minerals, gems and precious metals mined within the territory. Farmed goods and even lumber. Goods which come from merchants which travel around the world and cross paths with Alfheim.

Specialized Jobs: Alfheim Militia, Mercenary Guild-Member, Stonemason Guild-Member, Artisan Guild-Member, Agriculture Guild-Member.

Currency System: Alfheim possesses a strong influence from the barter and trade system. However many within the territory are avidly using the 'Alfhiem coin/Currency'. Though it's typical that only citizens (even then, some don't) utilize this system of currency.

Notable NPCs: 

Player-Character Origins:

Summery/Information: Despite only existing for about a hundred years. This area has become renown as a 'safe-haven' from outside turmoil. Undoubtedly, this area suffers from inner squabbles and outside threats. Though manages to keep a steady balance of prosperity and destruction, considering other parts of the world. The Humans and Magi living in this area are on a thin thread of 'peace' and 'understanding'. Often to events break out, where one side is enraged or upset with the other and the outside influences of the world is typically the greatest factor in this discord. However it's citizens can be far from 'innocent' in this measure as well. Many citizens, human and magi, possess fear of the possibility of war out-breaking or scarring this land permanently.

Once a year, this territory hosts a 'Guilds festival'. Where each guild prepares festive-esque activities. The artisans guild prepares all sorts of stalls or vendors which have prices sometimes higher or lower than normal, along with arranging banquet or feast orientated events. (Or things such as pie/food eating contests, or entertainment based events like plays or other types of games.) Stonemason guild will organize creative or building themed contests or games, along with vendors which have deals unlike those found year round. The Alfheim Militia and the Mercenary guild, compose a tournament where anyone can participate. Finally the agriculture guild organize petting zoos/scenarios or other festive type things. This yearly event, causes a lot of outsiders to make their way to the territory of Alfheim.

Bio

Notice: This settlement is located on the Outer-Rim colonisation surrounding Thalburn and all nearby major towns; more specifically, MiddleSeed is directly West of Thalburn.

Name: MiddleSeed

Human or Magi Settlement: Human and Magi, but mostly made up of Magi under the Sarkath Doctrine agreement.

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Population: Village - 93 Individuals (Around 80% Magi, 20% Human)

Government: Incognito Syndicate - Though officially run by Spokesman Lilo Vermina, the official power he has works in coalition with the remains of the Ty' Un Resistance.

Qualities
 - Abundant - The settlement has access to extraordinary natural resources: rich farmland, as well as a personal and 'Private' quarry for goods and materials.

 - Artist's Colony - The settlement is renowned for the excellence of its local craftsfolk, as well as talented musical individuals.

Terrain: Much like it's major competitors, MiddleSeed sits behind a small woodland between Thalburn's smaller Western plain, sitting directly on a spot of fertile land, with a small patch of Stone fitted to a local mini-quarry for personal needs and exporting.

Dangers/Disadvantages: 
 - Paying the Damage - Though the damage caused by both encounters was not life changing to Thalburn's standing, it did give them a reason to bleed natural resources from the Outer-Rim Colonisations, though it does not take so harshly on those under the Sarkath Doctrine.

Imports/Exports: Large Quantities of Stone, Iron, crafted Gunpowder and Coal from the quarry are exported, along with the successful Farming industry, but in return Steel is brought to provide the tools to ensure the flow stays on track. Some of this Steel goes to another cause, though...

Specialized Jobs: Agricultural Plot Owner, Agricultural Plot Management, Inn keeper, Varied-Type Musician, Vice-Spokesman, Spokesman, Miner and A more vague role chosen only by selection...

Currency System: Barter and Trade, Thalburn Galleon (Shared Coin System of the Province)

Notable NPCs: Spokesman Lilo Vermina (Male, Lawful-Neutral, Determined and promising leader, Human), Cari Stoke (Female, Lawful-Neutral, Vague, Magi)

Player-Character Origins:

Summary/Information: MiddleSeed, despite being under the Doctrine, are one of the many refuge points of the Ty' Un Resistance remnants. A bubbling spot for the completely unknown remainders of the organisation, it provides basic manufacturing and produce to keep it going with great ease. In rooms behind lock and key, the Sarkath Doctrine was signed. An agreement that almost controls the settlement, it gained the policy title as a mock against the leader of the previous Resistance. It keeps the settlement under a routine of supplication towards the Thalburn cause, but in return is given a grantage of freedom and small share of advanced materials. Now being one of the key points for another upcoming plan, the town is known for having an incredibly large connection with keeping contact with other villages and far cities.

@LetMeDoStuff

This is magnificent and will be added immediately to the Settlement-Section.

Anyone feel free to make their characters involved or from the settlements provided. Or, like @LetMeDoStuff did, create your own. (Of course, they will need to be 'accepted' and follow protocol, etc.) If you desire more information on any settlement, feel free to ask OOC wise or even through PM. ^_^

Name/Alias/Title: Draco 
The Master of Demons, The Demon Mage

Appearance:


Quote: "Those who fight me are a disease, I am merely the Cure"



Age:
19

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Straight

Race: (Human or Magic-User)
Magic-User

Magi-Talent:
Draco has the ability to summon demons. Demons however, are a variety in their case. Draco can summon many demons which could be considered 'foot-soldiers' but, he also has the ability to call upon Legendary Demons, rulers in their own. 

Habits/ticks/quirks (etc):Often sighs at doing anything
Speaking his mind
Humming a specific tune


Skills/Talents/etc.:Draco has a very large pool of magic and so can create many summons
Is extremely extremely aware of fine details
His skills with a dagger are unparalleled


Likes:Being lazy
Being left alone
Cake


Dislikes:Fighting
Both Humans and Magic-Users
Carrot


Personality:
Draco not only dislikes Humans, but also Magic-Users. He dislikes having to live amongst this never ending war. His life has been damaged over and over and has shaped his personality. He is a very quiet man, with an accompanying expressionless face that even in battle, rarely changes. He hates working but will always follow orders from his superiors, but will complain softly.


Bio/History:
Draco has left a group of mages and now, living isolated, practicing his magic. He has managed to master his summoning and has learnt that the smallest portion of arcane magic can summon his companion, an Eagle, shrouded in darkness but also able to speak. Draco has never settled anywhere, always moving around to lower the chances of confrontation. A small human army learned of his whereabouts and quickly dispatched to attack him, but in his defense and last ditch effort, Draco summoned fifty Demons, a feat many couldn't believe as summoning 1 demon was a challenge itself, his name quickly spread from ear to ear, making his existence harder to be discreet.

Voyage
Draco was part of a group called, "Voyage" and it started with good intentions, however through the influence of a member, the others began to agree (6). The group turned to brazen butchery, laying waste to everyone and everything in their path. The group of Mages became rich, with only one goal in mind, to conquer all. Draco however, couldn't live the life anymore, with regret, he left the group. But leaving was no easy feat, the rest of the group tracked him down, as his offensive power was key to their attacks. A bounty was placed on his head, a bounty even a king couldn't refuse.

After The Voyage
Draco has been hunted for months, both from his former group and also from various bounty hunters. Where he goes, destruction often follows and so he is mostly seen alone, away from others. If he is seen in town its often for restocking and or gaining information about Voyage.


Equipment/Tools/Items/etc.:A small dagger with an engraving of a Demon on the blade
Cloak
Backup dagger


Other:
Draco will often fight hand-to-hand, using his magic ability rarely as he doesn't like using it.

Name/Alias/Title: Ris 
Jeanne Christina Roussin, heiress to the Roussin fortune and daughter of the high-priestess of Lemä

Appearance:


Quote:"I always wanted to be 'free' and act only for 'the right reasons'. And now that I finally am, I doubt my own perceptions..."



Age: 21

Gender:Female

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Habits/ticks/quirks (etc):Reckless and stubborn- Ris has made a habit of displaying reckless behaviour, she doesn't care much for planning or her own safety when she believes to be doing the right thing.
Frequent smirk- Some might think her mocking everyone around her with her smiles and smirks. But she's just the type who prefers to smile and tuck away all her other emotions.
Dreamer- When she isn't on-duty, Ris often loses herself in thoughts. She likes to  ponder philosophical and morale issues, but tries to ignore her own most burning questions such as; Is it right to take justice into my own hands? Don't Magi have a sliver of humanity in them and if so, what would justify my judging them?, since they only frustrate her.


Skills/Talents/etc.:Huntress- Ris is a skilled huntress and especially gifted with her bow. She knows how to track game (and other targets) and survive far away from civilization thanks to years of experience. She also has (although limited) skill fighting with knives but her forte most definitely lies in the long-range.
Perks of being a lady- Growing up in a prominent household, she received a good education (due to which she knows some things about topics ranging from history and economics to cooking and medicine) and has quite a few connections in other settlements. Her way of speech and how she carries herself tend to betray her upbringing and make it hard for her to blend in with commoners.
Violin player- There are few things Ris enjoys more than playing the violin, which she has been doing since age four.


Likes:Making- or listening- to music
Water- Rain in particular
Sweet food
The smell of pines and lumber
Target practice and hunting
A good discussion


Dislikes:Magi
Killing (without good reason)
Feeling ignorant- or being accused of ignorance
Hot weather
Presumptuous people
Alcohol- She doesn't dislike alcohol perse, but she cannot handle liquor very well and dislikes how it breaks her down so easily


Personality:
Ris can be very unforgiving and she blames the existence of Magi for her personal losses, as was taught by her religion and upbringing and confirmed by later experiences. To her Magi equal untrustworthiness.

She doesn't care much for her own safety, but feels all the more responsible for the lives of those under her command. Most people see her as a very serious woman with a natural authority, but when she's around friends, she can't help but smile broad and often and is always in for a joke. She can lose herself in a hunt or when playing music, which are the things that help her relax and unwind from her responsibilities.


Bio/History:
Jeanne Christina Roussin is the daughter of high-priestess Sophie Roussin and former Fishermen Guild leader Charles Roussin. Most of her life has been divided into two aspects; 
	She spent spring and summers with her aunt on mother's side in the wilds, where she learned how to survive and fend for herself. During these summer she also developed a strong sense of self and character and learned about the faith of Lemäika. 
	Autumn and winters were spent at home in the town of Elmend, where she cultured more 'civilized' traits such as an appreciation of music, carpentry and the finer things of life. This dual upbringing was to prepare her for following in the footsteps of her father, to become a prominent council-member backed by the power of the faith. Her whole life had been planned for her but on Ris’ request her mother waited to play matchmaker and plan her wedding until her 20th birthday.

A year ago, not long before her birthday, life as Ris knew it was disrupted when her father was assassinated (along with the burgomaster and a dozen other prominent council members of her hometown Elmend). A group of disgruntled Magic Users were behind the attack and plunged the town into turmoil. In the aftermath of this incident, the hate Christina had been taught to feel for Magi only grew and she happily joined a group that set out to hunt rogue Magi and bring them to justice. Her mother disagreed fiercely, pleading with her to become a priestess of Lemä or grasp this opportunity to demand a seat on the council. But Christina had set her course which resulted in a falling-out with her family, which is something that still haunts her. Half a year ago she left Elmend and hasn’t returned since.

So far Ris (a nickname she soon started using rather than her given names) has gladly seized her freedom and the opportunity to travel. Her natural authority and cross-settlement connections soon allowed her to climb up to a position with responsibilities and some command within the loosely organised group of bounty hunters. For the past few weeks Ris has been leading a group of five others, chasing an infamous rogue Magi, determined to bring him to justice.


Equipment/Tools/Items/etc.:Survival gear packed in a backpack (food, rope, flint etc.)
A small rowing boat she currently uses for transportation
Bow and quiver as well as two knives and her armour
A wooden pendant in the abstract shape of Lemä, a gift from her mother
Her violin (which she tends to store in a hidden compartment of the boat rather than carrying it around everywhere)


Other:
Ris is a follower of the faith of Lemäika. 
She also has a long scar running down the length of her back and several smaller etched into other parts of her back, which she tends to hide under thick layers of cloth.

Name/AliasFae 'Vy Na' Nikia
Vy Na - Marksman of the Stone - Son of both Sides

Appearance

Quote
"My brothers, sisters and friends gave their life for a cause without success...That's why I try to rewrite their legacy."

Age
24

Gender
Male

Sexuality
Heterosexual

Race
Magi/Magic User

Magi-Talent - Stone Skin
Fae 'Vy Na' Nikia possesses a more defensive ability in the terms of Earth Manipulation. Here, we see him form a tough outer shell around his body concentrating on tough, rigid stone to take the impact of hits and shots if need be. Though reactions are key, the time in which it forms is not something of a disadvantage, and allows him to take the impact quickly without doing too much harm. A Full body coating is where the most strenuous feelings come from, usually leading to a short, temporary weakness in the leg muscles. It is most effective in short, quick bursts on a limb or specified thought to briefly protect a single area, then change the location of the plating again. One other use of this is for brief camouflage. Whereas the movement in his muscles tire down his mana for using the stone-skin, covering a small/medium area of his body, whilst simply hiding the unhidden parts, can make for temporary disguise and blending. Even if it isn't used to hide from an opposition, it can be used to simply scout in a stationary location from afar without the trouble of being recognised ever-so easily.

Habits/ticks/quirksNatural Vigilance - Having grown through a downfalling cause, Fae knows when the time to be cautious is, at that makes for most of the time.
Determination - Being brought into his cause, Fae has a strong and natural determination to complete a task by any degree, as long as it is beneficial.
Perfectionist to Planning - It gets on his nerves to just go in with improvisation. At least some sort of rough guideline can set the uneasiness.

Skills/TalentsInformation Gathering - Having a fair share of leading a second life only to remove the suspicion of being a remnant, he's found a lot of trust and places that can provide him with useful movement patterns. Connections equal benefits in this world.
Mixed Fighting Preference - Though this means he does not excel in one particular fighting distance or style, Fae's gotten the time to study different techniques and tastes to find an overall mixed style that balances out his abilities, be that long-ranged or up-close hacking.
Militarised Equipment Familiarity - Not being as good as some of the other masters in MiddleSeed, Fae has a good understanding of the components and workings of the far richer and more advanced blade and new-age firearm. This does not shine brightly, except in the making of ammunition.
The Musical Talent - Spending time in an area renown for its Musical interests, Fae has taken a good amount of time to familiarise himself with the surrounding world of tunes and melodies. The two instruments he particularly excels in includes the larger String section and the brass horns, to be exact.

LikesThose who have reason, and those who have justifiable reasoning for their actions.
Fruit and Meat of the Upper-Class imports.
Taste in the Arts of Music and Craftmanship

DislikesThose who fight for the 'Hell-Of-It', or act based upon the lack of action pre-hand.
Overly pampered meals, with random flavourings thrown into them.
Immoral or randomised action, based upon complete 'Instinct' without initiative.

Personality
Fae has always had a wide-spread appreciation for what people do in their lives, despite those nit-picked icons. His overall friendliness has made him quite a figure both in real-society and on-task espionage. Though, that has had its show of remorse towards certain foes, which can have pros and cons to the future. This depends on who he was tasked to combat out of defence. Fae has been known to mostly possess a strong ability to talk his way out of conflict, unless its necessary or towards what he believes should be done. Though he is not oppressive towards any of the two species that wander and flourish the realm, he does have a tendency to bind them as one, making it difficult to narrow down the fault of an action and blame it towards a much larger suspect. Most of his actions are affected by some of his general well-being, having seen life only to be happy with what he has to offer.

Background
Brought up in the Inner-Rim settlements of Alfheim, he moved down to MiddleSeed as soon as the talk of Resistance was afoot. Conflict between the Magi and Humans were almost completely normal and ignored, but the Ty' Un Revolution was one to go down in the newest of history books. The resistance originally forged itself in Alfheim, having only goals of removing the oppression to both sides of mankind, which allowed them to claim a few small settlements facing that problem. Fae was amongst those who joined rather early, towards the end of the Settlement-Campaign, where the next target was the arising troubles of Thalburn. This led to their name being recognised, and quickly seen as an inspiration.

Where peaceful rallies only led to the 'Massacre of the 105', the conflict was expected to go on for many years past current times. Here, this only led to the disasters of the Two-Encounters. Two simultaneous attacks on both the Expeditionary Militia Patrols and the City itself made for a bloodshed, and mostly for the rebels. Where they reigned supreme against the patrols, they were quickly surrounded and cut down by footmen, whilst the city did take numerous amounts of damage from guerrilla strikes in the midst of the charge, many were seen to perish before they reached their target.

Ultimately, the attack was only successful in certain ways, having the tactical victory for the Resistance, but the total conflict's victor as the Thalburn. Thalburn had gathered up those of the Patrol attack, including the leader Sarkath, and executed them publicly in the city's staging area. Those who survived were almost only those who took part in the guerrilla raids during the charge, as they were able to pass on by detection. Fae, being one of these, was mortified at the simple loss of so many united hearts and determined souls, and went into hiding like many of those who also were lucky enough not to perish.

The Sarkath Doctrine was set in place, making those who would continue to strategically and morally support the Thalburn ruler less likely to face oppression and more likely to gain necessary goods without having to fend for themselves. Fae knew of where to make his settlement, and with a small unit of survivors, took refuge in MiddleSeed, where he's remained for the past eight years since the Ty' Un Rebellion's critical defeat. He still believes that the people of his birthplace will someday be determined to repeat history, but with a different outcome in mind.

Equipment/Tools/ItemsTwo Handheld Hatchets, both fitted with the fine steel allows imported from the Thalburn Trading Companies; the right with a small hook for multi-use defence and general utilisation and the left with a short pike blade, for multi-use offensive and general utilisation.
The 'Thalburn Proof of Citizenship under the Sarkath Doctrine' [Or the TCS] along with a small canteen clipped to a makeshift villagers webbing.
Medium-Long Ranged steel Thalburn Crossbow [Not always on the personnel.]
Small rucksack for smaller basic needs or wants.

Other
Amounts those of the Magi and Humans, around with the oppression and conflict, it sometimes gives Fae a slightly less trustable background. His mother was a Magi, his father a Human. The Magi see him as an undeveloped and lesser-friend, whilst the Humans see him as an inbred towards the Father's honour. This doesn't inflict him greatly, as it does not actually involve a lot of discrimination, but instead the little things based around the trust, if the fact is known, that gets on his nerves.

He also holds a Ty' Un symbol in the form of a tattoo on his back, towards the right shoulder. It is quite different, as it only is known and linked to the affiliation through symbolic translators and members of the old Ty' Un rebellion itself.

He also enjoys simply being around either species. Having blood of both sides, which does though make his magi abilities slightly weaker than the average user, he finds himself comfortable finding ways to fit in to both groups. If anything, the conflict he fights for only was based around overall oppression, and not a biased species.

@Hippo AF

This character is great, but there is one issue.

With his ability, along with power of said ability, there is a skill which concerns me a little.

"Is extremely fast, almost moving so fast it looks like teleporting"

That's more like A magi-power, super-speed. Thus it's alike your character has two powers.

Removing or greatly reducing, the speed-skill. Pretty much is what i'm asking/needing. Other than that, this character is more than acceptable.
