Lost History: Lineage
History, a topic that can either interest someone or bore them to death. A subject that spans an immersive length of human history and before it. But, if you try to deviate from what is accepted as history by scholars and archeologists. Then you are laughed at, and your theories are considered pseudoarchaeology.
But while some theories might just be false, like aliens building the Great Pyramids of Giza or Bigfoot. There are ideas, objects, and even places where accepted history cannot explain or try to deny that hint at something else. A hidden or forgotten past that most have barely scraped the surface.
There are those who do try to uncover this lost history of the world. But you have not heard of them, for they operate as secret societies. These secretive groups are dedicated to uncovering this lost history. However, what they do with this lost knowledge is what divides them. Some seek power, some seek knowledge, and some seek more.
However, one thing that has been discovered by all who seek this ancient past, are the Descendants. People whose ancestors come from this lost past and whose bloodlines give them a power that is separate from magic and have unlocked the use of it. Those who are Descendants are coveted by these secret societies for not only their power but also their bloodlines gives them an unexplained connection to relics from this forgotten era.
The secret society called the Seekers is one group that seeks to uncover the truth and its connection to Descendants. As the group was founded by a Descendant. The Seekers, with its resources and Descendants. Try to discover the lost past of humanity and learn more about the past and what it means to be a Descendant.

Overview
Hello, and welcome to the rp. So, in this RP, you will be playing as a Descendant, a normal person, or, if you wish, an unawakened Descendant. A Descendant person whose bloodline dates to an unknown ancestor from the forgotten era of human history, and gives them powers and a connection to ancient relics. An unawakened Descendant is a Descendant that has yet to awaken their bloodline's power but still has a small connection to relics. Mainly those that are related to their bloodline. Your character will be a member of the Seekers, either a new member or already apart of the order.
When it comes to your power, it can be anything but, time or mind control powers. Also it should be related to what your character's ancestor is. While you can decide what the ancestor is. Now, what who and what ancestor is, it could be anything. A powerful spirit, an elemental, a powerful mortal, a forgotten god. Just something or someone that would leave a mark on the ancient past in some way or would be important in the ancient past and had a power or ability that could be inherited.
Now, during the course of the rp, magical non-human races and beings will be encountered, and magic is a thing in the setting though underground, and said magic is rare in modern humans. Though character wise the rp will be human only.
Also, if you wish, I would be open to side arcs that deal with a person's ancient ancestor or perhaps a more personal one, like finding a certain artifact, for example.
Now that is it and I am looking for a co-gm. If anyone wants the job, then either say something in the thread or send it to me by PMs.
