It had been the fear of all living creatures on Earth since the end of World War 2, the end of the world by threat of nuclear warfare. The all-consuming destruction of their power was more than enough to stave away any idea of actually utilizing them. However as Humanity crept into the 22nd century, the diminishing amount of resources brought about desperation that dissolved any sort of sensibility. Peace talks were a fragile attempt to prevent the coming destruction both with the population of Earth continuing its exponential growth and off-world colonization years away, there seemed to be no hope left. It was so on May 23, 2137 the third and final world war erupted with a hair-trigger pull from engulfing the world in nuclear fire. Only one week later, the first nuclear missile launches were detected kicking off a chain-reaction of world-ending power while the innocent lives of the world awaited the end. On May 30, the year 2137, a miracle occurred. A gigantic light blue barrier, almost unable to be seen, stretched across the missiles' trajectories world wide. The barrier surrounded each missile as it approached, encapsulating them into spheres where their explosions were contained and the energy absorbed. Shortly after this miracle appeared, A series of reports quickly circulated detailing similar strange groups who were chanted unknown words holding their hands up to the sky and proceeded to collapse after the nukes were taken care of. The world cried in Unison at the sparring of their once unavoidable fate, a scream of rejoice that quickly turned to terror. The ancient, powerful magic that had sealed the realm of mystical creatures, monsters, and magic itself had shattered opening portals to Earth releasing both terror and beauty all in equal force.
That was not the end of Earth's problems as a sinister entity became aware of their world, a consumer of life and lord of destruction. Amidst the chaos of monsters' rampaging across the globe, a small portion of his horde of twisted creatures invaded as well weaving death and destruction even against the modern armies of the world. The more inexperienced mages who had not participated in the ritual rose to the defense helping to turn the tide. The following month saw the population of Earth halved and much land lost to the fearsome monsters let loose into the world. The evil forces were pushed back and a great defensive wall was established along the border of Humanity's remaining territory. The opening of the portals was soon not to be the curse initially thought for humans could also enter through them and go to worlds unknown with resources to solve their old crisis.
The persecution mages had suffered for centuries was absolved in acknowledgement in of their value against the new threats and choice to save the world. With government support, A series of academies were constructed across human territory with the main purpose of bringing together the magical knowledge of the various disciplines into a centralized area. The school teaches a list of roles with need of magic but not are as revered or as valued as the ones who follow the combat path of magic. It was for this reason that all students must be trained like a magical militia, even those not interested in the military. A strict divide was shortly created by ancient families of magic and what were referred to as 'new bloods', those who obtained power after the rupture between worlds.
This was all in strategy to defend from the dark entity's army who would certainly return and most likely with their master. One aspect was clear, the evil power would need a stronger portal into the worlds then the ones' currently present and while the portals were useful, they seemed to be changing Earth to fit with the magical energy of the other realms it was now tied too. Of course not all creatures were monsters seeking out blood, there some benevolent beings that came through the portals, which became referred to as 'Gates'. There were also creatures that were neither such as the magnificent dragons, who were also the most sought after. It became known that if a warrior defeats a dragon in single-combat, the dragon would pledge his or her service to them. This was also the case in which an individual saved the life of a dragon.
What had once been Fantasy has become reality, a dangerous world in which Humanity has only just begun to stand on its feet. Its only hope is to rely on the new generation of warriors to come from the academies, mixing technology and magic to stand their ground.
Well that's what I have for now, would anyone be interested in this kind of RP? I welcome any questions and will try to answer them the best I can.
