Humans are a vile breed of creatures; any “mythical”, as the humans have dubbed them, will tell you that. They are selfish, always thinking of only themselves and their own. They are greedy, always hoarding more and more for themselves instead of giving it to those in need. They are territorial, chasing off anything that they feel do not belong in the places that they feel belong to them. And as if all that selfishness was not enough for the “mythicals” to hate them, the humans even brought a whole new concept to their lands; the concept of war.

Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years ago, humans came across the seas. Never before had any land-living creature ventured out that far into the terrifying seas, not knowing what was out there, if anything. The humans built ships; large, wooden structures that could float on the water even when the stroms caused the waves to get tall as the trees. Only a small portion of humans came, but they came with an idea of a world far different from the one already there. They came with armors and weapons. They tore trees down and built structures instead. They killed peaceful creatures because they were different from them.
It was not long before the creatures that had once inhabitated the areas where the humans settled, had to flee. The humans made their way of life impossible. They even attempted to teach them their way of living, telling them that their way was the right way. They crushed their caves and used the stone to build houses. They felled their forests and used to wood to build huts. They tore up their gardens and spread gravel instead.
But as it turned out, fleeing helped little. The humans were curious creatures and spread out all over the lands, making settlements whereever they felt like. Whether it was in the middle of an nymph clearing or under an elven treehouse, the would simply destroy any and all life around them, whether it was by the means of their weapon or by felling their homes and foods.
As if it was not bad enough that the humans were now spread out all over, it turned out that they were quite reproductive, as well. It was only a hundred years or so before there were more humans that there were creatures of any of the original kinds. Their settlements grew to villages. Some of those villages grew to towns and some of those towns grew to cities. The creatures that had once called these lands home, now lived mostly in hiding, fearing the shimmering blades of the humans.

As it turned out, humans are herd creatures. Without a leader, they run amuck. So, a leader rose for them. In one of the cities, a man claimed himself a King and had a castle build in his honor. He named some of the other humans as Lords, Ladies and other fancy titles, such as Duke, Count or Baron.
For a little while, the humans were peaceful.
Another human, in another city, then decided to appoint himself King as well. He named his Dukes and Barons as well and a divide was made. The two cities were now capitals of each their country and as they were about to find out, humans rage war.

War has been raging between the two countries for what seems like eternities. No one remembers why it even started or why they keep fighting, but neither intends to admit defeat. The “mythicals” are spread out all over the land; some hiding from the humans and living in peace with nature, some in villages or towns of their own and some in human cities and towns. Some abide by the ways of the humans and some of the old ways of their kind. Some have even mated with the humans, creating mixed breeds and magis.
Lately, over the past few years, a rumor has been buzzing around of a creature so strong that it could end all wars forever. A creature that could ground the Great Cities like a small plant. Sadly, no one seems to know what this creature is or where.
So... I am horrible at the whole fleshing out idea bit of GMing. It's fine. You can tell me :-P



Also, I rant a lot... Ahem...

Deities

The deities of the world are actually an old species that just call themselves “The Ancients”. Ancients are immortal, indestructible and immune to all disease. They cannot die by any force of nature that we know of. They can, however, be killed by their own powers, or the lack thereof.
Each Ancient have a different power. Their powers varies from shape-shifting into anything they eat to brining the dead back to life. They are very rare and most do not consider them a joined species, but several different deities.

@ColoredCyan;
I simply adore the "excerpt from "The Real Hobgoblin" by Bumble Billowgub". It really tells a lot about your character's personality that is otherwise hard to show before the actual RPing begin. I like that you've chosen a Hobgoblin, a species normally not seen as intelligent, for your character and made her a scholar. The irony in that is just savory. Trying to imagine a curvy Hobgoblin, however, is not quite as savory :-P
Oh, did you forget the Dislikes? Or does she just not have any? If that's the case, I don't believe you. Everyone dislikes something.
Other than that, I like her and she's in as soon as Dislikes are fixed. Welcome aboard *offers handshake*

@robomonk;
You know how to please your GM with a hint of humor, huh? ^_^
I like how awkward your character is and how he just falls into place despite this awkwardness. He has that kind of, "Oh, honey", effect of just wanting to baby him because of how, sort of, pathetic he comes off as.
I like him. I'll accept him (someone needs to fulfill his dream :-P ) . Welcome aboard *offers handshake*

.:EDIT:.

No, I forgot something! *snatches hand back from robomonk*
Your character's magical ability to draw the light away; you need to explain that. Even if he doesn't know how it works, I still need to. And how can he use this type of magic? Neither of his parents has this ability (though I guess it wouldn't be that long of a shot for it to be some mutated Dark Elf power), so how did he get it? Some ancestors? Blessed/cursed by some deity?
A handshake will not be offered until that part is fixed.

.:SECOND EDIT:.
Also, I would perfer it if people would just drop in and tell me if they are working on a CS or something. I need to know how many potential players we have so I know if I should be out doing shameless adverticing.

Woohoo!
I did the corrections as you asked, (tl;dr he's descended from powerful light mages, but he only has a tiny fraction of their power.)
Wow, this was a surprisingly easy character to make, actually. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Anyway, off to please UCAS! (Will return tonight around 10PM GMT)

Are the gods real, or are they just a creation of human imagination? Can they grant their followers powers? I'm thinking of writing a paladin or priest, but...

The deities are real enough and you are free to create some of your own if you so wish. I'm working on creating information about the deities I have listed, but I have real life stuff, other RPs and so on to deal with, too.

Quick reference;
Goddess Klavon, Angel of Peace. Her blessings include healing powers, blessings and "buffing" powers. No offensive magic what-so-ever. Her curses include sicknesses of several different kinds, boils, gray skin and more.
Goddess Humossis, Goddess of Fortune. I've got no blessing planned for her, so go nuts.
God Iaanza, God of Balance, (lit. The Land). He doesn't do in blessings nor curses, per se. He believes in fair trade. You give him something, he gives you something. It can be pretty much anything.

I'm doing a little world-building to add the background to my character. It's nothing major, but I'm getting a little carried over and there is already quite a lot of it, so I hope you didn't lie when you said that "there can never be too much writing" lol

I've already decided a character. She'll be a half-elven priestess from a small village deep in the woods. Sorta cliche, but whatever.

I truly do believe that there is no such thing as too much writing, as long as all the writing has a purpose. I'm glad that your world-building, too. It makes me feel less alone ^_~

They're clichés because they work, honey ^_^

@Zombehs,
Yeah, thank you very much ^_^
Your name goes oh so well with my avatar (Zombatar :-D )

@ColoredCyan,
Uhh... All right. Can't delete posts anymore, huh? What were you looking for?

@Everyone;
I have a birthday thing today, so I won't be back for the rest of the day. I won't be home till around midnight and since I'm an old lady who needs to sleep at ten PM to be able to live the next day, I won't come on at that time either. Basically, I'm gone for 24 hours.
