You're welcomed to join a open world with fantasy brimming to its very fibers. Get lost in this mysterious land. Discover lore. Fight, survive, find love, make enemies, change the world. The premise is to choose a bloodline and join as a character of your choice. Someone who is a bit new at fighting, or a novice even is just as viable as someone who is well trained. Though death is possible in this world I want to see characters grow.
Use your characters motivation to keep them going through out their journey from place to place in this world. Due to the number of various things that can be done and the actual time needed to travel place to place will make this roleplay long term. The world is mapped but when traveling things will likely occur. So traveling will not be boring.
The people you will be playing with. The Descendants, will be varying in looks depending on their bloodline. The idea is to have a diverse cast of characters who can learn from each others differences. This will require you to play as a descendant than just a normal human. Being a descendant means being more attuned to the elements in some way and living a more natural yet structured life. Think of a clash of ancient Greece and medieval days with magic, magical technology, and steam punk technology slowly budding in.

These are the Descendants and their bloodlines.
Tyro image
Tyro / Fire / Earth
Born of the volcano.
Rulers of Fotia. A kingdom built within in-circulating volcanoes. Their activity is kept to a minimum due to the heat's transfer. Blessed with knowledge the Fotians have forged technologies to improve their situation. Trains, elevators, and explosive powered projectiles. The early stages of steampunk technology has risen to prominence within their land. Despite their love of physical combat, lack of attire due to the heat of their land, and desire to constantly hunt dragons. Their element is fire.
Nayu Image
Nayu / Darkness
Born of the shadow.
Rulers of Nero. Elegant aristocratic people who live mostly by sound rather than sight. They are the most finely clothed of descendant races. Their solitude within their dark underground kingdom has left them isolated. Underground caverns that stretch out endlessly into the depths are found throughout their lands. Including terrible Basilisks. Many born blind and cast aside unless able to be cured. They are the creators of fine musics, text books that use touch, and the blood selling trade attracts strictly Nayu buyers, because of this many fear their blood drinking. Their element is darkness.
Image of Oro
Oro / Earth / Wind
Born of the mountain.
Rulers of Gaia. Many Oro are born with wings, claws or tail. A rare few are born with jewel like scales on their skin. They are also known for having superior strength. High atop the mountain peaks sits the stone towers of the ancient rulers. Dragon statues. Hardy and unscathed yet beautiful and rare. Very similar to their people. The Oro of Gaia have the most massive royal palaces. Ones big enough to house their many pet dragons. The Oro have a kinship with dragons and even protect the wild ones that live behind their mountain. The Oro are known to have thick hides and thick heads. Given their high altitude they also wear thick coats and are the main buyers of furs. Their elements are earth and wind.
Sol Image
Sol / Light
Born of the sun.
Rulers of Vrondi. The Sol have a king who the land itself was named after. He has lived since before the ancient war and has remained as a ever lasting spirit. The Sol do not wear much. Their lives revolve around sunlight and they are able to replenish their bodies with it. Their land is a place of rest where they protect the small number of seraphim within the lands. Plants are also under their command and they live mostly eating them. Vrondi itself is a extremely lush jungle with vegetation and fruit a plenty. Their homes always have vines or flowers sprouting around. Their element is light.
Lassa Image
Lassa / Water / Electricity
Born of the sea.
Rulers of Tearia. At the oceans floor near the oceans surface sits a city within a dome. The dome is filled with air which allows foreign blooded descendants to visit though very few do. The waters belong to the Lassa even if they contend with pirates the most. Many Lassa are born with webbed hands and or feet making walking on land hard. Yet their ability to breathe both water and air is a minority, a special fish once found can grant one the ability to breathe air. Within the depths of the ocean they have found remnants of ancient magic that worked like technology. Much like a budding Atlantis Tearia is able to use underwater vehicles, rapid fire projectiles and have their own weapons forged through countless experiments.
The capital is blocked off by two large mountains and is only accessible through a drenched murky cave. There are small islands surrounding them. Their element is water.
And these are their ancestral blood.
Seraphim / Divine
Born of the Divine will.
These are the rare few born with seraphim blood. They are sought after for their pure looks. Their tender flesh and smell and their connection to the divine. The highest worth of slaves are seraphim ones. They are often born with wings and or a halo. Seraphim find it hard to impossible to hide their bloodline. the Divine is their affinity.
Dragon / Chaos
Born of primal chaos.
Dragons are not stupid. Though many run in the wilds without a bit of knowledge of the descendants a few dragons remain in the know. Some remain from times of ancient. Some Dragons know good magic. Can transform into a descendant and live among them. Having Dragons blood is hard to hide for the most part though the destructive power is not to be trifled with. Primal Chaos is their affinity.

Rules
Basic rules apply. No Godmoding, Powerplaying etc.
This is casual to advanced so at least three paragraphs is needed for each post.
No ongoing details of sex and mutilation etc. Some is ok.
The IG stands for In Game. What is allowed must be achieved in the roleplay.
The descendants range from demon, angel, dragon, and mixes between these. Nothing more or less.
The world is as it is, confusing and mysterious. Keep it that way, however your own history and even something like a village can be created to fit it. The overall world must remain the same.
Fighting and dealing with death is based on how I decide things should go. But as this is story driven Ill be lax on that as it is not my focus. I dont intend to allow anyone to survive everything either.
Rules for combat
Try not to do these. Its not a big deal if it happens as what makes the most sense story wise will be what will likely happen.
Autohit - Establishing a confirmed hit or contact in the same turn an action was initiated on an opponent is prohibited. Participating parties are allowed to react to any action when applicable, and recipient of a perceived hit is permitted options in response to the proposal of an enemy player in accordance with Play-By Post rules. Ruling An interception may infer an autohit if the receiving party is unable to respond to the action of the proponent.
Godmodding - Control of the opponent or their actions is forbidden. Negation and Immunities may full under this category.
Meta-Game - Using Out Of Character knowledge and information in character. Blatant unjustified actions is prohibited pertaining to precise disassembling of a character or ability/power they control. Retroactions and Precognition fall under this category. Information your character does not have access to constitutes as Meta-gaming.
Precognition - The power to perceive predetermined events is not allowed. Calculations and heuristic creativity is permissible.
Retroaction - To undo an action proposed by the original party in the next post is unacceptable. An action can be cancelled by a player with minimum committal when applicable, but the act of reseting or reversing a previously stated action is disallowed. Example: creating an action, and upon the enemy player's response, deciding that said established action never occurred. Meta-gaming with explicit intent in a Retroaction is forbidden.
