Aeith is a world that is both stuck in the times of the past and in times of the future. It is a place where one can see androids as much as golems, where you can see TV screens in the dead of night as much as one can worry over witches. Malls exist just as much as fighter guilds. Lands can be ruled by governments as much as they can be by kings. Where the possible seems to meet the impossible - of Technology and Magic. Welcome to Aieth.

I plan to run this role-play as a slice of life mixed with adventure. The main hub will likely be a bar/tavern of my making, where powerful and ancient magics keep it at [mostly] peace from the outside world. However myself, or at player's request (process to be determined), there will be various adventures to embark on. I'm likely to include some measure of RPG elements, in the typical sense, such as allowing powers/technology (if one wants) and allowing growth.

The important parts that are coming to mind right now is that Aieth is a Sci-Fi / Fantasy world. Flaming Swords of Power exist just as much as hover cars. The only tweak is that guns do not exist! Instead the more tech-inclined will have energy-infused weapons. Think of a flaming sword, but made and powered via technology, if that's your thing.

Chances are magic will follow a rather simple concept - the more specific the restrictions to a spell or enchantment, the more powerful it can be. Example is a normal fireball might only go 30 feet and dissolve harmlessly, however if you give it a charge time of 10 second, it can be more powerful. Even more so, say you have to be in the presence of a red-headed female - now it's ten times as powerful because of the specific restriction. It's just a silly example though.

Outside of this, I am probably going to look for serious and thoughtful role-players who can contribute to the making of the rest of the world. So, feel free to think of characters that come from any land or nation or kingdom! You can be a traditional warrior from a northern kingdom that keeps to the old traditions or perhaps a knight who employs stealth-based technology in her duties or a spy who uses a dash of magic to extract information - just remember, anything technology can do, so can magic for the most part and visa versa.

Very interesting.
Much interest.
Wow.
:o

I can imagine cybertech would be a prevalent science; 'old hero' types retiring after losing limbs or something to that effect.
Is there currently an industry in biotech? Genetic enhncement/synthesization backed with magic mostly to stabilize the medical needs of the world. I kinda have an interest in this direction of world-building mostly for the sake of pushing a character.

<3 settings that mix sci-fi and fantasy.
Genuinely interested.

@Lumiere - Don't see why not! Since I'd be reviewing all the sheets for sensibility, I say go for the idea - so long as this check gains enough interest!

@Lyla
Oh yes. I do like this idea.

I am thinking either a scientist who uses tech or magic to boost his research. I would love to see more before I write him of course.

You've got my interest.

@Avanhelsing - Sounds definitely possible! Yeah, wrote this before bed and now I'm on my lunch break, haha. I'm going to be making a service battle droid. There is going to be a lore about them and everything, however they are a special breed of combat andriods. They will mix magic and technology.

Squish.

This sounds really interesting!

As for a possible character I have no idea yet. I do wonder something though, what is the difference between science and magic in this rp? More specifically, is magic 'fancy science' trough bio-engineering/genetic manipulation? Or is it actual magic (like what you see in movies and such)?

I am really interested in how this world is experienced through each and every character. A king or scientist or even a hero would experience the world very differently than a low-paid human who can hardly defend him/herself.

@Camey - Magic is like in fantasy, meaning it's supernatural in nature and functions more or less like - uh - magic, haha. There are theories on how it works, but it's never been proven, only used and studied. ^.^ The major theory of the time (which I'll probably work on tonight) is that magical symbols and the like open small dimensional rifts into other planes of existence to allow energy to flow one way in a specific manner.

So actual magic. =3

@Lyla
Great! That's something to work with :)

I'm slapping my interest down c:

Just for funsies, so you guys can see the banner. =)

Ooh, so pretty

@LordofthePies - Thank you. ^.^ Hoping this gets a bit more interest though! I'm obviously itchy to do something with this setting.

I'm interested!

Maybe if we get a couple more interests, I'll make the OOC after work tomorrow. ^-^

Definitely interested!!

Probably in about an hour to two hours, I'll start working on the OOC. ^.^ For those of you still watching. ^.-

I am drawn to magic-tech world just because of how many possible characters you can create. So I am interested.

I'd like to throw my own interest into the fray.
