On the planet of Arcadia, the birthplace of Man and Elf (Dark and "normal"), there are many things rooted in mystery and wonder. For hundreds of years, there was a symbolism, the belief in the power of the gods, and the worth of the arm and sword, but just as wind blows, life must move on. Technology must be improved, and truths must be discovered. As the world became more and more modernized, the thought that these "gods" truly existed or not came into question. It was a little at first, but as technology was further advanced to the point of traveling to the stars and beyond, the power of the gods weakened and the use of Magical elements became obsolete, potions began being thrown aside for band-aids, and sword and shield were replaced with gun and laser. These people called themselves the Illuminavit, or the Enlightened in an ancient language.
But not all wished to join the technology, fearing both the growing power and the abandonment of the most ancient of traditions, many began to revert to old ways, using sword and bow, worshiping gods of sun and moon, eventually forming their own faction, calling themselves the Tanau, or Elder in their oldest of tongue.They deconstructed factories and relearned magic, recreating potions and salves to heal wounds. Hand crafted sword and shield once again. Though they were adamant about sticking to their old ways, many that joined the faction were not used to the old way. Some even died from lack of proper medicine, thus, the Tanau began to combine the old technologies with the new using some of the greatest minds of the Illuminavit that were neutral in the factions to began forging new vaccines, falling back to the modern age where vaccines were available, food was not processed, and the land was tilled, not manufactured.
The Illuminavit took notice of this and began preaching that their "gods" were fake, figments of imagination, and began ordering people to abandon their false idols and take the right step toward a brighter future. Most took great insult from this, demanding that they leave and let them worship in peace, but the Illuminavit would continue. They began to assert their power and even ban the public worship of the gods. After a decade of oppression, the Tanau began to grow very large in size and eventually started fighting for their right to do as they please. Organize a government, use magic to create powerful defenses, and eventually take a continent for themselves. They formed a true force and seceded from the Illuminavit's power. They continued to combine magic, old world arms, and technology. Bringing their old age weapons into the new age. Laser targeting compound bows, hard-light swords, laser reflective chainmail, magical shield sand deflected artillery. Now fighting for not only their own survival, but also the survival of the old ways, the Tanau resist the Illuminavit, while their oppressors fight to preserve both Elven and Human lives and inspire great intelligence. They tried many tactics to bring peace to the stubborn Tanau, creating a prison for the worst criminals available, offering technologies, and even offering to build towns and cities for their people. All were denied, and now the Illuminavit conspire to wipe them out for the betterment of Elven and Human races.
^^^^ This is kinda WIP and might change. If it does I'll let you know.
Basically, as I'll build in the first post whenever it goes up (Thursday maybe), I'll explain that our characters will be arrested for reasons unknown to them and be transported to the prison I mentioned above, but something will happen, they'll be dumped onto an island, have to survive, and will eventually come to have to save the world and both factions from total annihilation.
Here's a CS for ya to work with.

That's it. I don't want to know your character's Bio, we can build it as we go. If you want to make a Bio, I'll understand.
My two characters, Mathew Harper and Annie Yutanis will be up later.
