Hello hello, OOC here! Just some standard stuff copied from the Int Check I’ll be putting some more world info and stuff for the players below and also in the Char tab to help facilitate character creation and set up the world a bit more.
Now, for some pretty standard rules from myself:
And here are some rules to abide by:
1. I have very few, and really, most are guidelines, but If nothing else, read this one. It is likely the most important rule here. In regards to combat - PvE should be simple enough. Against lesser mobs I'll likely let you go ham as you need to and feel free to describe what you do yourself. Against bigger threats though, you do not get to decide whether or not you hit an enemy - or if your attempt at something was successful or not. I do. If you're unsure, just ask. In the case of PvP...which isn’t going to happen often, figure it out yourselves or I’ll arbitrate the results and no one will be happy.
2. I will be attempting to post twice a week for those that have posted. This is not exactly a hard and fast rule, as I won't be keeping any strict deadlines here. Only real rule I have - is post at your earliest convenience. At most I will be willing to wait a week. After that, I'll continue posting as usual whether you post or not. Go long enough, and well, I'll probably start checking for a replacement.
3. Once I make a final decision on something, that's it. I will try to be as fair in things as possible, but if you're not happy with it well...too bad, I guess. If you're unhappy enough to give me grief or constantly question my decision after then either leave yourself or I will eventually eject you from the RP and banish your character to the shadow realm.
That's it really! Anything else just ask!
I’ll be expanding on other concepts in the Codex over the week but if there’s any info you need to make a CS ask and I’ll provide.
The World:
Welcome to Alavaris! The city of steam and capital of the Our’ous religion and the Oros Empire. A city with a long, storied history of both religion and mans rise to power in the region. It and the Maison d’Violette shall be the base of operations for our little maidenly demon hunters. The surrounding countryside and city itself shall be where your hunts take place, at least initially. Who knows, maybe you’ll have to travel to Naraheim itself, eventually…
The world itself isn’t quite high fantasy, rather, its more of a steampunk flavored inspiration with steam trains, airships, and clockwork. I’d say, something like Bioshock and other similar settings would be a good idea to look for in terms of themes and settings.
The City and Empire itself has recently had a bit of a shock. After losing a holy war against the northern territories of the Krysa, not only did their armies become shattered, one of the prominent nobles and philanthropists that had garnered a great deal of public and support among the common men, was found to be consorting with demons and feeding false information to the church about the Krysa, leading to her execution.
With the increase in rising demon activity, the church was made an offer by one of their few sanctioned and acknowledged legal sorcerers - she’d create a group specifically designed to hunt demons.
You, are a new recruit in this organization.
Violet Garden
An organization of officially sanctioned demon hunters. In the five years since their creation, they have become well known both publicly and in private circles for fighting demons wearing their iconic maid uniforms while also being a force to be reckoned with. It was created by Livia Fiore, the youngest of the Fiore family after bringing to light her mothers treachery and her own dealings with demons.
New recruits are given training in etiquette, cleaning, cooking, and domestic chores…and as well as one can expect, demon hunting. Any maid that goes here for training is required to engage in such activities for five years barring expulsion or other dischargement. They are trained in a variety of weapons, though most generally use a combination of rifles and sabers.
As demon hunters, their weapons also often contain catalysts of either gems or some other material of some inherently magical being in order to aid with magic casting and sealing.
The Demons:
Your foes. The terrible antithesis to humanity that exists buried in the roots of the great tree. Normally, demons are unkillable by normal, mortal means. Certainly, you can cut and slice their physical bodies but without magic or holy power they will merely find themselves resurrecting in Naraheim or in places particularly suited towards their Clan such as a particular bloody battlefield or other similar place depending on their clan.
This makes them particularly difficult foes to deal with, as either exorcising them and returning them to the cycle of reincarnation or permanently sealing them somewhere via magical means is often the easiest way of dealing with them. Though, really, all one needs to do is in some fashion shackle or destroy a demon's Soul to permanently remove them from existence.
There are five clans of demons, and each demon clan has a particular affinity for certain abilities and behavior. Violet Garden has further divided them into other classifications of ease of reference and to determine ones danger level. Typically, the maids only care about sealing or permanently killing ones of 'High Demon' level or above due to resources and time required to do so. All maids are roughly trained the art of binding and killing as well.
Binding and sealing a demon within an object or in some place requires four things:
Races:
Humans, make a primary majority in the Empire along with a handful of other non-human races such as the Elves, Firbolg, and the Krysa. Truthfully, there are many other races out there within the realms left behind by the endless cycles of Our'ous, but they are separated by endless gulfs of space and typically require magic of some sort to travel through and not all races will be friendly to humans, or to the gods, for that matter.
Check the Char Tab and informational posts there for anything else of note, such as some other world history things and some information regarding demons~

Binding and sealing a demon within an object or in some place requires four things:
- A place or object to actually contain the seal
- The Clan, and preferably, the name of the demon in question though the name is not needed
- Sufficient magical energy to either overpower or weaken the demon before attempting the seal
- An incantation or magical bindings to actually bind it.
Races:
Humans, make a primary majority in the Empire along with a handful of other non-human races such as the Elves, Firbolg, and the Krysa.
