Lands of Lemea OOC

Lands of Lemea

Far, far on the eastern edge of the known world stands Lemea,
There is said, that somewhere north from the Lacremia Mountains stands,
The Well of Wishes, which is said to grant any wish that those which reach it may have.
Lured by such promise thousands of people, marked as adventures,
Leave for Lemea, with only a few returning from the journey...
From the "Legend of Lemea"

Parts of Lemea

Kaymari

Name: Province of Kaymari (Elv. Saro'Gavis)
Political Rule: Judicial & Executive Rule under the Governor of Kaymari, Legislative Rule under the Emperor of Alagora.
Status: Part of Empire of Alagora under the crown of the Kingdom of Everas.
Location: The west most part of southern Lemea.
History: Kaymari (and Lemea) was first discovered by the explore Gamier di Massiar, which sailed past it during his voyage around the world, somewhere in late 476 E.A. It took almost a decade for the next expedition to come to Kaymari, this one lead by the Geworian explorer (in Alagorian service) Limoy di Krama, which stumble upon the land while searching for the east entrance to the Northern Sea Route (a naval route passing north of Ainyas). They set up a small port and explored the west areas of the province, coming into contact with the local elven folk and four years later founding the Colony of Torvey (named after Limoy's first son). It was next year in December of 489 A.E., after a man speaking of wonders in the far Kingdom of Ayya that the legend of the Well of Wishes started to invite, at first more explorers and soon adventurers to come to this land, leading to a influx of settlers and quickly expanding along the coast southwards. This sudden change made the elves quite agitated and in year 495 they struck into Kaymari, taking the port of Arunin, but were unable to hold it for long as resistance from both local populace and a quickly assembled but experienced army of Alagora soldiers and adventurers armed with firearms and mounted on horses brought from Ainyas colonies. After two more years of war on 31st May 497, a peace treaty was signed between Sear and Alagora, in which all land between the rivers Ivenia and Selkiar were to become a part of Alagora in return for a promise of elven observes in all military institutions in Kaymari as well as that Alagora never keeps more than 25 thousand soldiers and 5 thousands guns in Kaymari. Later a agreement that traders of both nations would have a favored trade position in the other nation was added; as well as an unofficial promise (which until now remains unbroken) of the Alagorian Emperor to never keep military force or build fortifications inside a day's walking from river Ivenia. After this a peaceful time fell over Kaymari with only occasional raids by powerful Orc Chiefs quickly being stopped by the local military. Thanks to this and the fertility of the province Kaymari is quickly rising in both population and wealth, promising to become a second Kingdom of Sorka inside half a century.

Sear Kingdom

Name: High Elven Kingdom of Sear (Elv. Aisa'Sear)
Political Rule: Executive Rule under the King (Ais), Judicial Rule under the Queen (Isa) and Legislative Rule under the Council of People (Sear).
Location: North of Ivenia River and west of Kazuh Mountains.
History: Once spreading across much of Lemea, Sear is now confined a shadow of itself, but it still has many wonders and riches, as well as some of the oldest buildings in constant use since the time even before Rheas ruled Everan. (The whole history would take books so a short overview will be enough). Until around 14 centuries B.E.A. Sear was unchallenged in ruling Lemea but then humans from Ainyas, pushed by the Orc migrations, came pouring into the lands, forcing the Elves all the way back to what today is the Middle Orclands. For four centuries this situation stood still, except for the increasingly close relations between the human newcomers and elves as Orcs pushed southwards from Ainyas into Lemea. As the 9th century B.E.A. begun the Orcs reached the northernmost parts of southern Lemea - today's High Orclands - and two centuries later took the whole Orclands, pushing Sear across the river Selkiar and humans south and west, ones into today's Yana and the others into Ayya. This was the extend of their progress as even united, the tribes could do nothing against the powerful magical defenses that Sear raised on river Selkiar and the Driders and witches which kept the forests of Aen'Rain (Liguria) and Aen'Isoneya (Black Forest) a deathtrap for Orcs for centuries, until in 1st century E.A. the Great Elven King Lians'Omeyu and Queen Ayia'Suya lead a campaign and pushed the Orcs back all the way to the High Orclands. This stayed the same until in late 5th century E.A. Alagorian explores and settlers started to arrive in the south-west part of the country at a rate which greatly worried and angered the King and Queen leading to a three years war which ended with the loss of all land south of Ivenia River. Using the opportunity Orcs also retook most of their lands, with only the south most part of Orclands under partial Alagorian control.
Notable places:
Lea'Veas - City - Founded in 43th Century B.E.A.
Osi'Loas - City - Founded in 44th Century B.E.A.
Asi'Nalea - City - Founded in 45th Century B.E.A.
Asi'Sear - Capital City - Founded in 45th Century B.E.A.

Orclands

Name: Orclands (Elv. Yari'Mena)
Political Rule: Tribes (usually ruled by a Council of Elders or a Chief). Sometimes more tribes are untied under a Warchief.
Location: Between the Kazuh and Lacremia Mountains, east of river Selkiar and north of Ligura Forest.
History: Once a part of the Kingdom of Sear, then split amongst many human states after they arrived while running away from Orcs and finally taken over by Orcs until the Sear retook most of this area until a few years after the arrival of Alagora. Today Orcs are slowly working on repopulating the southern parts which were abandoned in the face of the Sear invasion.
Notable places:
Hohg'Shar - Ruins of the elven city of Lar'S'Kaya which once stood on the west shore of Kaya's mouth into Sey'Olasa Lake.

Ligura

Name: Ligura Forest (Elv. Aen'Rian)
Political Rule: None/Matriarchy under Queen Shhir Raag
Location: Southeast of Kaymari, south of Orclands, eastward until Lumina river.
History: For centuries by the Sesv'Elis-Garr Errha agreement except for the shore of Lumina was given to the Driders and their Queens. That remains so until today and driders still inhabit the depths of this forest. As peaceful people they only attack those which conduct large-scale woodcutting or those seeking to take their land and make it their own, like Orcs. For centuries this has kept the Orcs at a bay but a century ago Yana managed to use forest fire in south-east Ligura to take and expand a small territory which now driders have no way and wish to retake.
Notable places: Ahhar Shhar the nest of the drider Queen somewhere deep in the western parts of the forest.

Black Forest

Name: Black Forest (Elv. Aen'Soneya)
Political Rule: None, trough some places have a basic political rule
Location: East of Ligura Forest across the Lumina River until the River Silvinia
History: Even in elven times this forest was a refugee for those marked or scorned for society and until their departure from some distant land at the beginning of 1st century E.A. the home of the Night Elven race. Today it remains covered both in dark evergreen forest, danger, secrets & magic.
Notable Places:
Witch Village – Deep in the western part of the forest stands a small village of witches, the largest known settlement of such kind outside of Ainyas. Ruled by a council of all witches older then 100 years. Founded sometime in the 2nd millennium B.E.A.
Ancient Dwarven Tunnels of Lacremia – Just north of the forest stands the entrance to the tunnels which once connected a long forgotten dwarven city with both the Black Forest and Ayya. Now it is one of the paths which can be taken to get to Ayya from Karans, but dangerous and vile creatures now inhabit it and the city they lead to.

Yana

Name: Empire of Yana (Elv. Seya'Losi/Yan. Oyana Teekoku)
Political Rule: All power is in the hands of the Emperor, trough local lords with large armed forces have some influence, at least in their own fiefs.
Location: Islands of Yana which number in thousands, a part of cleared out Ligura Forest.
History: Settled by these running from the Orc migrations southward in 9th century B.E.A. the country was first nothing more than scattered settlements and farms, but during the next ten centuries aristocracy slowly grew in power until a state of almost constant war erupted. It was the will of four men, in quick succession, to unite the country that finally end the war in 250 E.A. by the establishment of the Empire of Yana. But soon a new problem appeared before the country, from east the Karano people arrived, settling on the coastlands east of Silvin forest and on the islands of Karans. This lead to the policy of closed borders as well as, after a forest fire cleared a large part of Ligura, to establishing a military stronghold and settlement there so one could take it and use it as a invasion point towards Yana. Even today the leaders and most people of Yana remain fearful of strangers, even adventurers, only a few places have been left open for all to pass trough that are: Wayana, Daitsuka, Asunaka and Konasu, all which stand either on artificial islands or the Ligura coast, so no foreigner steps into Yana, trough a few foreign military & science experts have been in secret (at least to the people of Yana) brought to the Imperial Palace in Yanakyo.
Notable Places:
Wayana – Special Port – A small port settlement which allows adventurers to head eastwards to Daitsuka
Konasu – City – The only city open to foreigners in Yana, still the Ligura forest and distant naval trip from Kaymari make it a next to no existent Alagora trading spot

Urime – City – A large Yanian city
Ezui – City – A large city near Asunaka

Karans

Name: United Republic of Karans (Elv. Alsia’Karano/Yan. Karano Kyowakoku)
Political Rule: A Council made out of 12 representatives of the Port Towns, 7 representatives of the City of Karans and five experts (military, diplomacy, economy, internal affairs and legislation) [23 total] is the Executive, Legislative and Judicial body of the country.
Location: Islands of Karans and the coastlands east from the Silvina River.
History: Little is known from where do the Karano, the primary inhabitants come from, but they have first been noted by the Empire Yana in 312 E.A. and only eight years later Karans was build and soon afterwards the Republic was formed. Trough lacking in land command, both technologically and somehow physically & psychologically, the Karano were at home on the sea. They were so efficient in naval combat that a single victory of one small Karano vessel over three large Yana ships made the large country decide to ignore the existence of Karans rather than to risk a total naval defeat of their island country. From then the Karano people and the Republic of Karano have spread both inland, trough not to much and eastward finding and calming the strange but amber-rich Amber Coast.
Notable Places:
Fort Resea – The most inland and west point of Karans is a fort which marks the end of the Karans Republic and the start of the trip along Silvinia River

Political Rule: A Queen holds Executive power, the Council of Sages is the Judicial body of the country and the Voices of People (a council) is in charge of Legislation.

History: First settled by those on the run from the Orc somewhere in 12th century B.E.A. for centuries the country, safeguarded by Oppan and its Yorra fortress, stood split into small countries ruled by the great cities of that time. It was only that in 1st century E.A. with the founding of the city of Ayya, dedicated to the land and the Goddess Iunna that the unification of the country trough the standardized religion made by Ayya’s priestess and the political marriages of the ruling family of Ayya. And so as the light dawned on the first day of year 462 E.A. that Ayya was unified by the silent passing of Lord Arran of Oppan, without even a single battle or war being waged. This peace is also why Ayya is full of wonders, scattered through this land, its cities and settlements and the reason it is believed to be the home of the Well of Wishes.

Notable countries or areas outside of Lemea

Name: Empire of Alagora
Political Rule: The Emperor holds the highest Executive, Judicial and Legislative rule trough the feudal system gives a certain degree of autonomy to regions not governed by a emperor-appointed Governors.
Location: The Alago Peninsula in Everan, Sorka region in south Lowenar, parts of coastlands north of Altakar Kingdom, Kaymari province in southern Lemea, town-sized trading ports in Ainyas and Lowenar.
Info: Untied from the countries of Alago Peninsula on 24th August 0 E.A. Today it is the most powerful Everan country doe its advanced military technology, immense wealth generated trough trade and large population.

Name: Holy Kingdom of Geworia
Political Rule: Executive power lays in the Holy King’s hands while the Council of Bishops is highest Judicial body. The Legislative part of the country is in the hands of the Holy Father, a elected priest and the head of the Mersian Church (which exhibits much power over quite a few countries in Everan).
Location: Taking large parts of west and central Everan Geworia borders Alagora's home territory to the north (trough the Alagor Mountains block all but a few miles of coast for easy travel).
Info: Formed by the Roseliua Family from the Kingdom of Geworia this country is most notable for its almost blind devotion to the Mersian Church which teaches that all inhuman is bad and the demons and that “corrupted” by them are messengers of evil and should be destroyed. This leads to Geworia leading, roughly each twelve years, an expedition into Aiynas, the home of demons, to wage war and conduct genocide in the name of their religion.

Name: Kingdom of Dormedon
Political Rule: The king and a council of nobles share all power in the country.
Location: Far East of Everan, the south of the Dorme subcontinent.
Info: In 201 E.A. the Kings of Dormedon started to work closely with powerful nobles from their own and nearby human countries and used all possible resources to expand from a small kingdom in south-west Dorme to the second human country by area of Everan under its rule.

Name: Orc High Chiefdom (Karz-Dera)
Political Rule: The High Chief (Karz-De) is the highest ruler in all meters, trough local Warchiefs and Chiefs have a certain degree of autonomy.
Location: Plains, taiga and tundra in north-west Dorma.
Info: As Dormedon finished the unification of south-east Dorma it looked like the Orcs north from it, split in many tribes and constantly fighting amongst themselves would be an easy target for Dormedon, but then Karz-Surga (Karz the Great also The Great Chief) quickly united the Orcs by axe and then proceeded to mend the centuries of wounds caused by wars between tribes. Through its successors still had many troubles, the might of Karz-Dera makes Dormadon thread carefully and focus on the south-west rather than the north-west.

Name: Centaur Plains
Political Rule: Only unofficial Dormadon rule over human settlements and the Keaton, an advising council of Centaur Chiefs which rule over the nomadic Centaur tribes after being selected by the whole tribe by a decisive majority.
Location: North-east from Dormedon.
Info: From before written history the Centaur tribes ruled the plains of north-east Dorma and that stays so until now.

Name: Republic of Kamay
Info: A small country located on a strip of tundra north of the salt Lieh’s Lake and on the volcanic islands of Kamay. Little is known about it except hear-say tales of snow-white skinned blonde people who run around next to naked in a land where only two summer months melt the permafrost of its tundra.

Name: Kingdom of Rheas (Once Empire of Rheas)
Political Rule: All Executive is in the hands of the ruling King/Queen (in Rheas the oldest child, no matter the gender, takes the throne), while the Legislative is split with the House of Lords and the Council of Commoners (a tax based system in which those which pay more tax have greater political power). The High Court of Rheas is the highest Judicial body.
Location: A small strip of land between the Souna River, Fealbuth River and the sea.
Info: Once ruling most of Everan, from the coasts of present-day Alagora to the lush forests of north Geworia, now Rheas is a duchy-sized kingdom. Today it remains one of the rare places where, backed by almost a thousand years of such practice, all are equal before the law, no matter the race, creed or gender. It is also a place where the freedom of thought, speech and emancipation are on the highest level of all known lands. This is one of the main reasons that Rheas is a source of new philosophy, medical breakthroughs and engineering practices, only falling second in terms of military technology where the guns and soldiers of Alagora defeat them.

Name: Yaes Numir Seyur (Union, Military, of Demons)
Political Rule: Military Alliance with no shared political elements.
Location: All of Ainyas except a few small Alagorian ports and the Rark Soval/Coast of Salvation which is occupied by a large Geworian force.
Info: A military alliance of demons and other inhabitants of this continent against the, next to regular, military attacks of Geworia. Little is known about most of this land except that the rare spices and commodities that it generates prompted Alagora in opening a number of trading colonies on the coast of Ainyas.

Name: Altakar Kingdom (Alt. Merak Altakar)
Political Rule: The King has full Executive power, shares some Legislative power with local nobles. The Elasia Sirawisah (Sira's Sisterhood) provides priestess for Sirawmah (Moon’s Council) the highest Judicial body.
Location: North-west Lowenar, right south (over the sea) from Alagora.
Info: Formed from the breaking up of the great Arhovan Empire now only Sirawisam (a religion which worships the Moon Deity Sira) which is the most practiced religion, points out that this county once belonged to Arhovan, as with time their customs grew into a mixture of Arhovan, ancient Rhean, Algorian and even some from the lands south of the great deserts of Lowenar. Still even with this they hold tightly to the Arhovan custom of scholastics and have some of the best mathematicians, astronomers and medical experts in the world of which many decide to leave Altakar work in Alagora.

Name: Sorka
Political Rule: King of Sorka, a vassal of Emperor of Alagora, has full rule in all matters in all lands in Sorka not belonging to the crown of Alagora.
Location: Southern tip of Lowenar .
Info: This region doted by Alagora ports and mining settlement and rich in livestock, ores and farming land is it the largest continuous part of Alagora outside of its homeland. The wealth and size of the region allowed it to become the first area outside of the Alagora homeland to be put under its own crown (the crown of Sorka). Except for this Sorka is an important stop for resupplies and rest of ships heading to the east or those returning from such a trip.

Name: Mahiras
Location: Half way to the Far East of Lowenar
Info: A large subcontinent, inhabited by many races is split up in many smaller or larger states with many governing systems. Alagora has a number of trading colonies established for the sake of importing ivory, gold, silver and spices as well as to supply ships heading eastwards towards Far East Lowenar.

Name: Loraya & Inichi
Location: Halfway between Mahiras and Orientar.
Info: Loraya (an island chain) & Inichi (an subcontinent) are lands covered in jungle spanning around the straits of Merkkas, which allow quicker voyage from Mahiras to Orientar. It is also rich in spices and other commodities, meaning that many trade ports of Alagora dot the area.

Name: Orientar
Location: Far on the east end of Lowenar.
Info: Orientar, a land in which many wonders are found and in which luxury goods are bought and sold everyday. Unfortunately the wealth of farmlands and resources means that is heavily populated and the Alagora has no way of projecting its military power more then to protect a few scattered trading ports. It should be noted that Mugen Okoku (Lit. Land of Fantasy) a country populated by Youkai is also located here. Also the ports of Orientar, in particularly Eroku-minato, are the stating locations for sailings to Lemea.

Before you head to making a character:
Obviously no Godmodding. Silly stuff, references and so on are OK.

This will stay always open, new characters will join the group(s) when a opportunity for that arises.

Notes on making the CS:
If you plan to make a country or a race than use the Sheets provided for that!
Country of Birth, is obviously, the country (or general area of one of the continents) where was your character born.
Country of Origin is the country (or general area of one of the continents) where your character decided to start its journey towards Lemea.
A good description would work for an Appearance, trough I would then probably go around and try to find a picture to go with that description.
Skill sections are manly to have an easier look on what skills our characters have. Note that almost all magic in the RP has to be linked to an ELEMENT or CELESTIAL body. For making things easy, the world of Lemea is located at the exactly the same spot as Earth in a Universe in which everything except Earth (which is replaced by Lemea’s world) is exactly the same.
YOU MUST PUT A REASON FOR TRAVELING! It is the plot driver after all.

Notes:
You don’t need to be the controller of your homeland. If you have no country to call your own put the one where your race has the highest overall population.
Common Features are what features does the race share and which indentify a race as one. Magical ones are how common does the race provide natural magic user and if (and which) some elements specially influence (and in which way) the race.

Notes:
If you wish you can make your own country and place it somewhere outside of Lemea and inside the known world.
I used Earth as a template but there are many differences between Earth and this world.
Everan is similar to Europe with an undiscovered connection with Lowenar.
Lowenar is Africa and Asia - note the lack of the Red Sea. There will be no Suez channel counterpart in this world.
Aniyas is the Americas. There is a chain of islands in the cold north connecting Ainyas and Lowenar.
Lemea is actually a large subcontinent in the area of what would be the Pacific Ocean west of north California and Oregon. It is connected to Aniyas.

Co GM(s): Tatsua Aiisen - IC, Non-Setting OOC

Noteworthy stuff:
The most advanced technologies are those of the Empire of Alagora which is as developed as the 1550's Spain.
Elves have the highest understanding (and development) of magic and use that to counterweight humanity's technology and numbers.
This RP will definitely include Magic, Adventure, Encounters with Hostile Life forms, Casual Level IC Posts, Sceneries, Lolis.
This RP might include PC Deaths, An End, Kittens, , Reference to Manga & More.
This RP probably will not include Science Fiction, Aliens, Spaceships, Computers.
This RP will definitely not include IC One-Liners.

The year is 523 of the Era Alagoria (E.A.) and now we shall follow those which dare to become adventurers and travel trough Lemea to search for the Well of Wishes.

Questions, comments and posts of all kind are welcomed as long as you don't post just for the sake of posting (AKA SPAM!).

[Mr_pink]

Name: Siegmier of Untersbach
Age: 29
Race: Human
Country of Birth: Untersbach
Country of Origin: Untersbach

Appearance:

"Siegmier"

Armour and usual apperance:
He also wears a few rings on either hand.
His second sword is identical to his first

Bio: Siegmier was born to be what he is today. His father was a knight during the crusades of Untersbach on the several city states that lived beneath it. Siegmier was picked by his father's commander to be a keeper at the age of two. By the age of six he was being taught the basics of swordplay which he was a prodigy at. He eventually adapted the style of using two swords during his teenage years and perfected the art. He was the perfect soldier. Par one thing, his personality. He was treacherous and quick thinking. While he would obey orders on the grounds that he didn't want to die for disobeying the Oracle's decisions, he often at least tried to rebel every once in a while. Nevertheless, they kept his training on until his late teen years.

When he was around 18 his instructor saw him fit for battle and sent him, along with a small troop of footsoliders to capture a small village who were prepared to take on Siegmier and his men. The other Keepers who trained with Siegmier took a month each to plan, as expected of them. However , Siegmier charged in as soon as his men were ready. They attacked at night and as loud as possible. This was a cunning tactic made by someone who knew that the village would have expected him to plan ahead. The loud roar of Siegmier and his men startled the night-guards who prolonged the time it took them to react and alert everyone by actually trying to see what the source of the noise was. They charged through the gates and practically beat the village guards with their own fists in order to occupy the village. After all, a village with dead guards is as good as no village at all. Siegmier's instructor was impressed with his ability to actually ransack the village with minimal weapon use and no killing. Much unlike Siegmier's classmates. As a reward, a weapon of Siegmiers choice would be forged from the best metal on Untersbach, Tungsten. Siegmier chose two cutlasses, which he became known for.

When he left his training, he began training to be a captain of a ship. This training took him five years, inbetween which he had to go and fight the Oracle's crusades and battles. He eventually did complete his training but, didn't have enough coin to actually purchase a ship and crew. Soon enough though, the Oracle noticed Siegmiers skill with a boat and began plotting to discover new masses of land to spread his religion onto. After the year was over, the Oracle had gathered a crew worthy enough along with a ship made for a king in order to send Siegmier out to map out new territories.
Personality:
If you aren't Siegmiers friend then he will most likely betray you at some point. He doesn't like many people and prefers money to conversation. That being said, he is a bit of a loudmouth and is willing to talk to someone he trusts and calls a friend.
Combat Skills:
- Very quick with his swords
- Knows how to dodge
- Can fight multiple enemies at once using his dual swords
Adventuring & Survival Skills:
- Expert at drawing maps
- Able to circumnavigate
- Expert at sailing any size or type of ship
Other Skills:

Reason for traveling: Coin more than anything else. Mapping out the country will earn him a hefty amount of gold straight from the Oracle's pocket and making up a few things about him converting people to a religion he doesn't believe in can increase that amount.

OK reserving spots is fine! Hope to see more post up soon!
And please if possible add a picture of your character's face, except it doesn't have one.

[Mr_pink]

Alright, don't expect to see much of it though haha, I'm more making this guy comedic in personality in contrast to his appearance.

The Hidden Kingdom of Fae'lanse...
Name: Fae'lanse, also known as the Hidden Kingdom or sometimes the Realm of Fairies.
Political System: Monarchy (Led by the Queen of Fairies and her wonderful Princesses.)
Location: "Aelis'ri 'n Eine", a place often referred to as being everywhere and nowhere. Existing parallel to every kingdom in the world, the hidden realm of fairies exists in all places at once, but can only truly be found when guided by their mystical inhabitants. Because of how Fae'lanse's magic works, it has been known to appear in countless absurd places in the past, one fairy once even reported guiding a human there by travelling through an empty goblet at one point. The human miraculously fit, but it truly is a testament to the strength of Fairy Magic for an entire kingdom to be hidden within such a small space.

History

Fae'lanse was founded by the Hero of Heroes, the Great Fairy Queen who was said to have battled an army of giant wizard dragons to save fairykind from the evil cat people who were intent on eating all fairies. Through her guidance and magic, the fairy people gathered and formed the kingdom in the shadow of a human one, living alongside them without the humans realizing. By using ancient magic, the fairy kingdom shifted in and out of existence on the boundaries of civilization, appearing wherever fairies needed solace to lead them to salvation.

Other: Due to how it's been concealed in the shadows of all "Mortal" kingdoms, Fae'lanse is unknown to most outside of legends and tales. It is not recognized as real by most individuals and nations, although some magic-savvy folk have come close to discovering it in the past.

...and its magical inhabitants, the Fairies.
Name: Fae (Fairykind, Fairies, Fairy)
Homeland: N/A
Country: Fae'lanse
Common Physical Features: Often small in stature and with pointed ears, most Fae also possess fair skin and glowing, colour-changing eyes that set them apart from ordinary mortals. All Fae possess wings of some sort, although the type of wings is often dependant on the individual.
Common Physiological Features: Fairies are among the only varieties of "Existential Beings" in this world, they don't possess a life in the conventional sense, instead they are more akin to a sentient magical phenomenon that continues to exist only because it continues to believe in its own existence. Technically, this makes them immortal, but due to various circumstances as well as a vulnerability to existential attacks, this is not actually the case.
Common Magical Features: All Fae are masters of shape-shifting, flight and invisibility. They possess a prodigal magical ability that surpasses even that of the elves, and if given enough time, most Fae would be able to master any conceivable technique, art or spell simply through watching it preformed.

Nice. Accepted!

Will be off for today, coming back on in eight or so hours!

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Added a description for the Fairies.

[Mr_pink]

Name: Untersbach
Political System: Theocracy, the leader is the 'Oracle' who can speak with their god.
Location: South of Talga
History: Untersbach has a rich histroy detailing the many battles. Most of the battles were waged for religious reasons and headed by the Oracle at that present moment. Eventually, Untersbach became feared for their strong military prowess and tendency to wage war for very little things. The Oracles are selected from birth and are trained by the present Oracle. Every Oracle is chosen for their ability to talk to Xotic, the God of Untersbach. The Oracles also appoint their council which consists of military advisors, economic advisors, culture advisors and more. The Untersbach army also created the 'Keeper' division who are soldiers picked out at birth to be specially trained from a very young age. The Keepers were trained in secret for the first few generations but soon footsoldiers began leaking the information about the keepers and it was soon made public.
Notes:
- Highly Religious
- Most of the continent is either owned or is the same religion as Untersbach
- The Oracle is all powerful
- Xotic is more powerful than the Oracle

bah i'm changing it.

Race: Zenohunts

Name: Zenohunts
Homeland: Ainyas
Country(s): Small tribes of Zenohunts have migrated into to the some of the hills of Lemea, but do not control actual countries.
Common Physical Features: Zenohunts are usually very thin, and have animal ears and an animal tail.
Common Physiological Features: Zenohunts have a lot of the same biological features as humans, except from the tail and the extra pair of ears. Zenohunts' ears and tail and judged by whatever animal they are based on, and biological features may adapt so that the tail may feel things, and the ears may have the ability to hear things. The ears may be able to hear things better, depending on what animal they are based on. Zenohunts are known to also share the personalities of the animals they are based on. This sometimes does not apply.
Common Magical Features: Zenohunts are masters of nature and light magic, being able to summon lights and blind things, or summon vines to hold people stationary. This is due to their normally peaceful motives, and that they are partially affiliated with nature due to their animal features. If there were 100 Zenohunts, about 15-20 of these would probably be mages.
Other: Zenohunts are a relatively secret race. They live in underground houses in small tribes, where they are not seen. The only ways into these houses are by hidden doors, making the entire house itself completely concealed. Zenohunts tend to cover their animal features when outside of their homes, and claim themselves to be normal humans. They also speak in their own language, known as 'Zenospeak' by the Zenohunts.
I should also say there are not a lot of Zenohunts in existence. The tiny tribes they live in are sparsely populated, due to the fact that new Zenohunts can not move into towns because they can't find them.

James Feryana

Name: James Feryana
Age: 14
Race: Zenohunt
Country of Birth: Low Orclands
Country of Origin: Low Orclands

Appearance: James is a medium sized boy, who has short, black hair that reaches down to his ears. He has ocean blue eyes, and small lips. His ears are small, as is his nose. He has grey wolf ears on his head that usually point straight up on his head. Leading down to his body, he has a small-medium sized neck, and a thin build. His arms are quite thin, and so is his legs. On his extreme lower back, he has a grey wolf tail that protrudes from him. Clothing wise, he would wear a large cloak that covers his entire body that just reaches the top of his feet. This cloak also has a hood to cover James' wolf ears, which he would fold down to prevent the two points from appearing. He would also wear a mask to cover his face. He doesn't want anybody to know how young he actually looked, and was. Inside of his cloak, James would usually be wearing casual, everyday clothes.
Bio: James was born to a pair of parents who were, just like James, wolf Zenohunts. The parents would go out and get food for James, because they wanted their young boy to have a happy life, and not know that their life would end in a few years. They would keep James entertained and teach him how to hunt and do other things, such as cook. As years passed on, James started to notice his parents getting weaker and weaker, quite slowly and quite unnoticeable.

One day, when James was thirteen, he asked his parents if they were alright, since they were looking really, really weak. The parents said that they were alright, perfectly fine, and quite healthy. James did not believe them, and continually asked every day what was wrong with them. After two weeks, James' parents knew that they had to tell James what was wrong with them. They sat him down, and had a long talk with him about a disease that had been developing in their bodies for who knows how long. They said that they were going to die really soon, but did not know when. James was, of course, quite upset at this, and sat crying in his room for days.

Finally, when James was fourteen, his parents passed away. The rest of the Zenohunts in the tribe had a funeral for them, and most of them were willing to take James in as their own son, but James always declined. He didn't want to live in this stinking tribe any more. He didn't want to hide from everything underground. He wanted to explore, adventure, and live his life to it's fullest. So, that's what James did. He packed up his belongings, and put them in a backpack. He put on a cloak, covered up his tail and ears, and slipped a mask over his face. He then went to the tribe's elder, told the old man that he was leaving, and walked away. The young Zenohunt cried many times, but did not turn back.

Personality: James is a very, very shy boy. He doesn't like to get into crowds, not even those of friends that he knew. He would never be the one to start conversations, and would always be the one to keep quiet in them. The poor boy has been through a lot, and doesn't like to reveal his past. However, if you manage to befriend James, he can turn out to be a really nice boy. He would be kind, and often crack a joke at a time he finds good for one. Even to his best friends, he would never admit that he was a Zenohunt, nor admit how old he really is. Well, if someone were to pull his cloak off, he probably would be found out.

Combat Skills: James is a beginner in nature and light magic. He can blind people with his light magic and make lights with it. With nature magic, he can trap people by summoning vines from the ground. Eventually, he hopes to learn more magic.
Adventuring & Survival Skills: James knows a lot about nature, due to being a Zenohunt. He can smell things from a certain radius around him, and his wolf ears help to hear things. Unfortunately, that makes him prone to walking into a trap. Some bandit could yell 'help' and James would be running toward him, thinking that someone really did need help.
Other Skills: N/A

Reason for traveling: James wants adventure. He wants to experience new thrills of life and explore new places.
Other: N/A

After seeing Cake's CS, I had a wonderful idea;

Race: Shota-Bishi

Name: Shota-Bishi (sometimes shortened to ShoBi)
Homeland: None
Country(s): None, they live scattered around the world rather equally
Common Physical Features: They are physically identical to humans...only more adorable/handsome
Common Physiological Features: Their younger/original form (Shota) is that of an adorable little boy. In this form, their magic is at it's strongest, however they are physically weak. While their older form (Bishi) is that of a very attractive teenage boy. While their magic is weaker in this form, they gain greater physical prowess
Common Magical Features: After living for around 200 years, a ShoBi will gain a teenage form. The physical capabilities of this new form tend to be based of the magical power of the ShoBi. While they are not naturally proficient (prodigies not withstanding) at any school of magic, they are capable of learning any they wish
Other: While at first glance, both of their forms seem to posses separate personalities (and sometimes even seem like different people), this is in fact false. Many ShoBi are merely acting out the part of a teenager simply for fun, while others who are timid gain more confidence in their older looking forms. Because both of their forms are physically identical to humans and other such races, they have little trouble intermingling with other races
Notes: Historical records indicate that this was once to different races; The Shotacon and the Bishonen. However somewhere along the line, they breed together to become a single race

[Cake]

On a side note can we have two characters.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

These races. Loli-people, Shota-people and FAIRIES.

[Cake]

I'm switching to a slayer cause of this.

[Card Captor]

Really? I'm sorry Cake. If it'll make you feel better, I'll come up with something else. I didn't want to make you scrap your character

Knight or not you still need a physical dps in every party or you'll get crushed by anti magic.

JK though. I'd like a beast hunter character but i can't decide what route to go.
