"I bent down, pulling out a smoke and lighting it as it cast shadows into the darkness of the alley. I had seen some things in my time, for sure, even a few bashed in heads, but this took the cake. The man's body was charred and burned with his skin ripped and set aside. A few of the officers were talking as they taped the scene from the crowds - a lot of us thought it was one of those dragonkins. Y'know, those folks that have a dragon as a parent." - Detectives of Easthaven, Vol. 2

Aeith is a world that is both stuck in the times of the past and in times of the future. It is a place where one can see androids as much as golems, where you can see TV screens in the dead of night as much as one can worry over witches. Malls exist just as much as fighter guilds. Lands can be ruled by governments as much as they can be by kings. Where the possible seems to meet the impossible - of Technology and Magic. Welcome to Aieth.

This role-play is a slice of life mixed with adventure. The main hub will be a tavern called Queen of Hearts Bar, where powerful and ancient magics keep it at [mostly] peace from the outside world. However at player's request (outlined below), there will be adventures to be had, lead by myself or Co-GMs - of course I may throw in myself. There will be some measure of RPG elements in that you can have spells/power/technologies that can grow later in the role-play. If you want assistance or want to keep some of them secret, please let me know.

This will be a generally chill role-play, however do note that I expect everyone to be polite, dedicated, mature, and to follow my direction - you're helping me build this world up by creating characters from any corner of the world and the nations that make it up. It is my world though.

Aieth is a world that is filled with both magic and technology. Things from hover cars to flying griffons exist, to tech bodysuits to wizards of great power. Though as we delve deeper into the world of Aeith, there are a few things to keep in mind!

Basic Terminology: A quick think of it, experts that delve into technology are usually called scientists while those who master magic are called wizards - they are both equally respected in their fields.
Starting Location: The Queen of Hearts Bar! It's a hub location for the whole RP where it's protected by ancient magics to be [mostly] a violence-free zone. The city is a mix of future elements and punk (cyberpunk), making it feel like an advanced and yet somewhat hopeless place of sorts, though people get along just fine, there are plenty of crimes and things happening in the city to make it feel 'gritty'. To top it all off, it has a dash of magic in there as well, with all races from dragonkin to elves residing it in's neon lights.
Guns: This is one of the things that you'll find missing in this particular world. However traditional weaponry can exist both with magic or technology! You can easily have a flaming sword either being powered by energy cells and oil or with magical runes etched onto the side - or even both, if that's your thing.
Magic: Magic can essentially do anything technology can - though it functions in it's own unique way. Spell users may put restrictions on their spells, as much as they would like. Generally speaking, if magic has zero restrictions, it still works but does so on a basic level. Think of a fire spell without any restrictions. Since it doesn't know what to do or how to function, it acts like a torch light - at best. However restrict it's shape to a ball and you have a small fireball that will go further and impact harder. Now let's say you restrict the fireball to be a ball that only shoots during daylight hours - now it flies faster and has a small explosion. These are simply examples.
Other Rules may be applied later as the world grows!

I am kind of interested but on the fence about joining. At the moment I'm leaning towards probably but I'll have to see what I think in the morning.

Hi, I'm sorry, but I couldn't finish the CS today. Got sick (yay). You can expect it tomorrow (if I'm feeling better that is). I hope that's not a problem? :)

Evening all! So I am new to this site entirely (past couple of minutes new) but I have RPd before elsewhere, been a while though. I like the idea, mind if I drop in a CS?

@SyvieneIgnis

To my understanding, we're currently still in the 'The More the Merrier!' stage of recruitment.

Now that you mention it, I am also sick at the moment. Maybe there's a gypsy curse hanging around, or something.

@ineffably@SyvieneIgnis - Both excellent characters and both approved! And I definitely agree. This role-play is gaining this sort of Cyberpunk feel to it, mixed with steampunk, sci-fi and fantasy. It's quite nice how it's coming along! Actually gives me an idea of the city that Queen of Hearts Bar is in now!
