[OOC] Lost History: Lineage

Lost History: Lineage

History, a topic that can either interest someone or bore them to death. A subject that spans an immersive length of human history and before it. But, if you try to deviate from what is accepted as history by scholars and archeologists. Then you are laughed at, and your theories are considered pseudoarchaeology. 

But while some theories might just be false, like aliens building the Great Pyramids of Giza or Bigfoot. There are ideas, objects, and even places where accepted history cannot explain or try to deny that hint at something else. A hidden or forgotten past that most have barely scraped the surface. 

There are those who do try to uncover this lost history of the world. But you have not heard of them, for they operate as secret societies. These secretive groups are dedicated to uncovering this lost history. However, what they do with this lost knowledge is what divides them. Some seek power, some seek knowledge, and some seek more.   

However, one thing that has been discovered by all who seek this ancient past, are the Descendants. People whose ancestors come from this lost past and whose bloodlines give them a power that is separate from magic and have unlocked the use of it. Those who are Descendants are coveted by these secret societies for not only their power but also their bloodlines gives them an unexplained connection to relics from this forgotten era.                                      

The secret society called the Seekers is one group that seeks to uncover the truth and its connection to Descendants. As the group was founded by a Descendant. The Seekers, with its resources and Descendants. Try to discover the lost past of humanity and learn more about the past and what it means to be a Descendant.

Overview

Hello, and welcome to the rp. So, in this RP, you will be playing as a Descendant, a normal person, or, if you wish, an unawakened Descendant. A Descendant person whose bloodline dates to an unknown ancestor from the forgotten era of human history, and gives them powers and a connection to ancient relics. An unawakened Descendant is a Descendant that has yet to awaken their bloodline's power but still has a small connection to relics. Mainly those that are related to their bloodline. Your character will be a member of the Seekers, either a new member or already apart of the order.   

When it comes to your power, it can be anything but, time or mind control powers. Also it should be related to what your character's ancestor is. While you can decide what the ancestor is. Now, what who and what ancestor is, it could be anything. A powerful spirit, an elemental, a powerful mortal, a forgotten god. Just something or someone that would leave a mark on the ancient past in some way or would be important in the ancient past and had a power or ability that could be inherited. 

Now, during the course of the rp, magical non-human races and beings will be encountered, and magic is a thing in the setting though underground, and said magic is rare in modern humans. Though character wise the rp will be human only. 

Also, if you wish, I would be open to side arcs that deal with a person's ancient ancestor or perhaps a more personal one, like finding a certain artifact, for example.         

Now that is it and I am looking for a co-gm. If anyone wants the job, then either say something in the thread or send it to me by PMs. 

Secret Societies

The Seekers are the youngest of the secret societies. Only three hundred years old, but a remnant of the older secret society, the Order of the Ancients, which is defunct. This secret society was founded by the Croatian Descendant Jakov Jurakić in the aftermath of the destruction of the Order of the Ancients. While Seekers' ideals and structure are based on the Order of the Ancients, and most of their knowledge of the forgotten world comes from surviving Order of the Ancients' archives. What makes them different from the dead order is the fact that they focus more on discovering the past and uncovering the forgotten past's connections to Descendants, as well as why this lost era spawned their creation. They are currently led by Descendant Zdenko Jurakić.

The Lost Masons are a splinter group from the Freemasonry that broke off about five hundred years ago when some members first discovered a lost-era artifact and became focused on studying it and finding more. While they retain some of the structure and traditions of the Freemasons. They have widely developed on their own and are distinct from the Freemasons despite having similar names. The Lost Masons seek lost era artifacts and knowledge simply to hoard them and use them for their own purposes. What those purposes are is unknown. While not an actively hostile group toward other secret societies, unlike the Order of the Fallen. They can reluctantly work with others if the conditions are right for it. They are led by Grand Master Oskar Zeisl.

The Masters is a secret society that is the most aggressive in their gathering of lost era artifacts and lore. Their goal is to use the lost knowledge and artifacts to be masters of humanity and guide them toward a better future, or at least their version of that future. A vision not shared by most who know of the group's ways and how they negatively view the other secret societies. While they can cooperate to a degree with others under the right conditions, given the Masters' stances, they may not be trusted. They are currently led by Elder Hélène Trouvé.

The Order of the Fallen is the most secretive of the secret societies. Not much is known about the Order of the Fallen. One thing that is known is that their interest in the forgotten past is based on religious ideology. What is known about them is that while the smallest of the four secret societies, they are the most committed and have a library of knowledge that is even greater than the Seekers. Plus, they seem to worship an unknown god or unknown pantheon, and they are hostile to the other secret societies. They are led by a person known as the Archon, and little else is known about them.

Okay, so besides not having the complete cs, which includes a pic at the top of the cs. It is too bare. You need to add more detail to it, mainly to the appearance, personality, and especially the background, and be better grammar-wise. So work on that, please.
