It has been two hundred years since Alexander Farrow I released magic back into the world. Along with Fafnir, the Mooneater, he has taken over much of the population.
Laird Xander Farrow II sits upon his throne in New York City. As it has been for the last two centuries, he and his men are plump and well taken care of, while those below their boots fester and die in the Lower City. Vicious creatures lurk in the alleys and in the sewers, even in the men and women themselves. Illegal activity runs rampant in the Lower City, as well. Though, all the Imperial forces care about is that the people don't get in Laird Farrow's way. Unfortunately for them, a group known as the Resistance is slowly gathering momentum in the Lower City's ghettos. The Resistance strives to tear humanity from the Imperial's iron grasp, one way or another. There is only one thing on the Imperials' and Resistance's minds-- war.
- The reason that this roleplay is to be 18+ is because of the mention and reference of specific topics, such as: disease, starvation, drug use, prostitution, and other adult themes. There will be violence and death. However, as I abide to RPG rules, if you need to fade-to-black or use a skip, please do so.
- What you have read above is not the full lore. I have a document that provides the entirety of the lore. Some things may be omitted in the RP, while some things may be added. I have only linked it here so interested players can start thinking about their characters and asking questions. Of course, I will not add the whole document to actual OP. It'll be much fancier-looking, I promise.
- There will be a magic system in place. It is listed in the google doc above. However, I may implement a new type of magic called Illusion, which allows magic users to "charm" or influence people in a variety of ways. Kind of like Jedi mind tricks.
- There will be four races in the roleplay. Two will be playable in the beginning (humans and sidhe) while another one may open up later down the road.
- Players will be able to make characters on both the Imperial side and on the Resistance side. If you wanna make a baddie, go ahead!
- Players will each start with 3-4 side character slots. Side character slots are used in an interesting way. Let's say that you have two characters already, but both of them know/interact/butt heads/etc with other characters quite regularly. These characters are important, but unfortunately they are not as important as the characters whom you have filled out sheets for. Maybe they will become important later on, who knows. Either way, players will be able to create 3-4 side characters which they can use. Think of them as actual characters who you don't have to fill out sheets for. You may decide that you want them to become major characters later on, but if you do wish for that to happen, then you must eventually fill out a sheet.
- Please, please, please be active in the RP: this means be active in IC, OOC, Discord, or whatever else comes along your way.
- I will only be accepting six to seven people, not including me. Order of interest does not apply. I will be looking through post history to see who are the best candidates.
- I do not want to hear "maybe I'll join"; you join or not. This is because it has caused issues with me seeing how many people we have in the roleplay.
- I do not want to see "cute" characters, i.e "lolis" or "traps".
- Again, this is high-casual. We're not asking for huge posts. We're asking for quality characters and posts (which are at least two to three paragraphs long).
- This is an 18+ year old RP. Dark themes such as death, disease, famine, etc will be present. If you're easily triggered, don't join.
- If you don't wanna follow these set rules, then there's no point in joinin'; it'll just cause conflict.
- I'm going to definitely need co-GMs that can be trusted.
