Both posters detail how to find your way to the town that both factions call home. So it appears you have found two very distinct organizations and a new place to go. As to why you go and what faction you end up joining is your story to tell in time.

Introduction

Hello, this is an idea that me and my friend have been working on for awhile. If this takes off like I hope it does then it will be my first time being a GM. Not to worry though, my friend who will be Co-GMing has done this a few times, so I'm sure it will run smoothly. This roleplay should be very fun and I hope you can tell your friends and we will all have a lot of fun! If you like this please comment and ask questions, me or my Co-GM will reply as fast as we can.

As said in the CS, most fantasy races will be allowed. From things like Elves and Dwarves to Dragonborn (Like DnD not Skyrim) and Tieflings. There aren't many races we would say no to, as long as they are humanoid.

Well I have 2 potnetial races I'd play in mind. Dragon-kin, which are humanoid dragons with the whole wings and tails shtick. Another is essentially a naga, serpentine body, four arms, but much more bestial. I honestly don't know what it would be called aside from leviathan.

When it comes to the Dragon-kin, I'd much prefer if you went with Dragonborn. It's the same concept but without wings. As for the leviathan, I have to say no to that. It's simply to monstrous.

Name: Alderius (Alder) Stoneblood
Age: 26
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Alder looks a bit younger than this but general features are right, his armor is actually just a fair bit of leather armor that has the bright red and gold marks of his homeland. He has many scars from his days of battle but the most prominent is a long scar that goes from his clavicle to just below his ear.
Faction: Fions Light
Personality: Alder is a simple man, he understands strength and loyalty and has no patience for deceit, any attempt at such has been met with an axe. He usually has no problem being kind although he tends to show it through fierce motivation, he wants the best for you whether you like it or not.
Skills:
Great Weapons 2
Armor 1
Equipment: A set of leather armor adorned in red and gold colored baubles from home, a large great axe carried across the back.
Backstory: In his homeland, Alder was seen as a warrior, strong and fearless, he stood against the threats that stood against them and he stood like a tree. That is of course until the threat was already within, renegade mages, they destroyed everything they could, a quiet strike in the night, women and children, anyone unlucky enough to be caught in the flames. It was all that Alder and the other warriors could do to stop them, but in the end, the damage was done. Many of his kinsmen left to find safety with other clans, but Alder, seeing a poster, chose vengeance above all else and left to find Fion's light and face the mages that dared to attack his people.

(let me know if anything is out of place or not cool.)

Name: Kaze
Age: 31
Race: Dragonborn
Gender: Male
Appearance:


Kaze stands at an impressive eight feet tall exactly with rippling muscle that doesn't show how strong he truly is or just how heavy the partial giant is. The 'plates' running from his chin, neck, chest, stomach, and underside of his tail are a deep and dark purple. The rest of his scales are a jet black, so dark that it has blue undertones. His teeth, claws, and horns however are all a pure white. The eyes stand out just like the horns, a glowing crimson with slit pupils.

Faction: Arcane Bastion
Personality: Kaze is more of a reactor than an initiator. Preferring to just observe unless actively provoked or unless he feels something is incredibly wrong. Example would be someone on the verge of getting murdered. When he's not observing he's a very blunt being, getting right to the point and discarding flowery language. He also has a very short fuse and it gets to rather...extreme, levels. Which is why he tries to keep his distance from things, so it doesn't piss him off and then he breaks it.
Skills:
  • Unarmed = 2
  • Armor = 1

Equipment:
  • Weapons: His body is his weapon honestly. Namely claws, teeth, and the tail trailing behind him.
  • Armor: Leather Plating: Thick 'plates' of leather cover key points of his body. Namely chest, belly, and groin. The rest is light and flexible leather pieces. Compliments his natural scale hide.
  • Clothing: A simple loincloth is all he wears aside from his armor.

Backstory: Firmly believing the past is the past he has no reason to give out what he has done. Which tends to get anyone he's around to think he has done bad deeds. He just has the mindset that the past made him who he is today. Today is all that matters, followed shortly by tomorrow. But he does let others know why he decided to join the faction he did. It's because the mages are being unjustly accused, all of them lumped together with the bad apples.

If Fion's Light truly wanted peace they wouldn't have started a war with the magi. "Aside from fear this war has no point on their end." Is what he always says. Fear of what they don't understand. Which he was on the receiving end quite often given his bestial appearance. If he doesn't fight for the mages today, who will fight for him and his kind tomorrow?

@Kazemitsu Looks pretty good to me. Hopefully we can get some more people and keep this 50/50 split of the factions.

(And maybe some mages. Nudge nudge, future newcomers)

I'm interested. Although a few questions though. About a topic called the undead. So I have two characters in mind, a mage and a swordman. The swordman is pretty hard to fit in here, since although he is humanoid, he is dead, and brought back to life in a form of a skeleton. So he is pretty mixed between the two factions (I wonder how you see him, but I don't think he will be accepted. I don't have expectation for that). The second character is a mage that manipulates dark magic, or necromancy. That I think is more susceptable here, but I don't see dark magic as a skill, so I wonder if it is also accepted.

Hope to be hearing your answers

@Conscripts
The skeleton would definitely be a problem for both parties. As for the Necromancer, we decided to take an elemental approach to magic. All types of magic will fight into one element or another if not multiples. Necromancy would be a part of shadow magic.
