Humans are a vile breed of creatures; any “mythical”, as the humans have dubbed them, will tell you that. They are selfish, always thinking of only themselves and their own. They are greedy, always hoarding more and more for themselves instead of giving it to those in need. They are territorial, chasing off anything that they feel do not belong in the places that they feel belong to them. And as if all that selfishness was not enough for the “mythicals” to hate them, the humans even brought a whole new concept to their lands; the concept of war.
Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years ago, humans came across the seas. Never before had any land-living creature ventured out that far into the terrifying seas, not knowing what was out there, if anything. The humans built ships; large, wooden structures that could float on the water even when the stroms caused the waves to get tall as the trees. Only a small portion of humans came, but they came with an idea of a world far different from the one already there. They came with armors and weapons. They tore trees down and built structures instead. They killed peaceful creatures because they were different from them.
It was not long before the creatures that had once inhabitated the areas where the humans settled, had to flee. The humans made their way of life impossible. They even attempted to teach them their way of living, telling them that their way was the right way. They crushed their caves and used the stone to build houses. They felled their forests and used to wood to build huts. They tore up their gardens and spread gravel instead.
But as it turned out, fleeing helped little. The humans were curious creatures and spread out all over the lands, making settlements whereever they felt like. Whether it was in the middle of an nymph clearing or under an elven treehouse, the would simply destroy any and all life around them, whether it was by the means of their weapon or by felling their homes and foods.
As if it was not bad enough that the humans were now spread out all over, it turned out that they were quite reproductive, as well. It was only a hundred years or so before there were more humans that there were creatures of any of the original kinds. Their settlements grew to villages. Some of those villages grew to towns and some of those towns grew to cities. The creatures that had once called these lands home, now lived mostly in hiding, fearing the shimmering blades of the humans.
As it turned out, humans are herd creatures. Without a leader, they run amuck. So, a leader rose for them. In one of the cities, a man claimed himself a King and had a castle build in his honor. He named some of the other humans as Lords, Ladies and other fancy titles, such as Duke, Count or Baron.
For a little while, the humans were peaceful.
Another human, in another city, then decided to appoint himself King as well. He named his Dukes and Barons as well and a divide was made. The two cities were now capitals of each their country and as they were about to find out, humans rage war.
War has been raging between the two countries for what seems like eternities. No one remembers why it even started or why they keep fighting, but neither intends to admit defeat. The “mythicals” are spread out all over the land; some hiding from the humans and living in peace with nature, some in villages or towns of their own and some in human cities and towns. Some abide by the ways of the humans and some of the old ways of their kind. Some have even mated with the humans, creating mixed breeds and magis.
Lately, over the past few years, a rumor has been buzzing around of a creature so strong that it could end all wars forever. A creature that could ground the Great Cities like a small plant. Sadly, no one seems to know what this creature is or where.
So... I am horrible at the whole fleshing out idea bit of GMing. It's fine. You can tell me :-P
Anyways, I am looking for dedicated roleplayers who can write at least a couple of paragraphs, has the decency to spell- and grammar-check their posts before posting them and doesn't mind that their might be a bit of a lull at some points due to IRL stuff and such.
I want this to be High Fantasy with Fireball-throwing Mages, bow-slinging Elves, axe-wielding Dwarves, Knights in shining armor and the whole shebang.
I'm picturing vile beasts roaming the wilderness and, well, wilderness that can eat you. I want people to get really creative with animals and vegetation.
I'm not gonna complain about seven feet tall, acid-drooling dog-rabbit hybrids with front paws the size of a normal person's torso and jaws like a crocodile. Or a plant that will cause yellow spots all over and kill you in slow and painful way; or one that can cure this.
I want some real creative roleplayers ^^
And, uhh, I'm honestly known to be a bit bitchy at times, but that's because I'm a great fan of detail. Even though I want everyone to be creative and all that, I would still appriciate some realism. Stuff like why the acid-drooling dog-rabbit hybrid does't burn itself.
I don't want you to be childish about it. I won't mind if you discuss things with me, like whether or not the acid-drool is actually acidic or if it's just poisonous to human skin and causes it to melt or something like that, but I don't want any “well, if it can't be my way, I'll just leave”... 'cause then I can gladly slam the metaphorical door in your face.
I'm not “rude”. I'm honest.
With that said, I actually do have some humor, though my sense of humor is quite special. I would blame the fact that I am danish, but even danes think I'm weird.
Like everyone else, I find it funny if people fall over; as long as they don't get hurt. I find nudity funny. I even find the taboos funny, sometimes. I don't mind a dirty joke or a “a jew walks into a bar” sort of thing, but we should respect each other.
Also, I rant a lot... Ahem...

Name:

Age:
Twenty-eight years of age (28)
Sex:
Female ♀
Sexuality:
Straight
Occupation:
Collector and Merchant
Tillia collects, and sells, the bones of various animals and beasts, some stones of various kinds, shells from snails and sea-creatures of many different breeds and seeds for plants that may be used for cooking, decoration or protection. And anything else she comes across which she believes may hold some value.
-==============-
Heritage
Species:
Anurae
Race:
Jungle Anurae
Genetic Attributes:
With their strong, frog-like legs, the Anurae have a God-given ability to jump about three times their own height into the air even without proper training and much higher with it.
With their nictitating membrane, a transparent third eyelid, the Anurae has the advantage of clear sight under water and the lack of a moment of blindness when blinking.
Anurae can hear both in the air and below water. They do not have external ears; the eardrums are directly exposed or may be covered by a layer of skin and are visible as a circular area where a humans ear would be.
Due to blood vessels directly beneath the skin, an Anurae may breathe through their skin when underwater. The oxygen is drawn from the water and stright into their blood.
During extreme conditions, such as drought, blizzard or famine, some Anurae enter a state of torpor and remain inactive for up to several months.
Some Anurae have a coat of poisonous gel on the outside of their skin to protect them from larger predators. Some have poisonous salvia, as well, to pralyze their prey to make it easier to bring home. Others have salvia that has a cleansing, numbing and almost healing effect.
Physical Genetic Traits:
Large, frog-like hind legs; many with frog-like markings as well.
No ears, only “hearing holes”.
Thick, slimy tongues with poisonous, cleansing or just sticky saliva
Some Anurae have frog-like markings all over their bodies. Thin, often very pale skin. Somewhat large hands, with no nails. They tend not to be very big; some of the smallest are known to be just above three feet at full growth and some of the largest stand at just about five feet.
Magical Capabilities:
Anurae have no special magical capabilities. In fact, they have none at all.
-==============-
Appearance
Height:
3'5” or 104cm
Weight:
45lbs or 20kg
Body Type:
With a genetically slender build, Tillia does not have a lot of curve to show. She has next to no bust and barely any hips. Her body appears to be as developed as that of a twelve-years old girl.
Hair Color:
Carrot orange with darker streaks.
Eye Color:
Sharp, almost glowing amber that reflects about any spec of light around.
Skin Color:
A slightly dark tan with a few olive green and black markings.
Special Traits:
Olive green, freckle-like spots on her face, shoulders, upper arms, -chest and -back.
-==============-
Talents
Abilities:
None
Magical Skills:
None
Combat Skills:
Tillia, and most Anurae in general, have more of a flight than fight instinct. They will do pretty much anything to stay out of dangerous situations, including, but not limited to, jumping into trees, fleeing underwater or just running like hell. It is rare for an Anurae to try and reason with a foe, either, as their flight instinct is very dominant.
Domestic Skills:
Tillia is quite good at cooking; especially fish as this is her favorite. She knows which plants can be eaten and which cannot; at least for her and her kind.
She can perform first aid on someone in need; give mouth to mouth, wrap a wound and lick wounds to clean them and ease the pain.
-==============-
Interests
Pets:
Tillia has no pets, but she would like a mount of some kind.
Hobbies
Cooking is as much of a hobby as it is a necessity to Tillia. She enjoys it thoroughly. She also enjoys collecting ingredients, such as spices and herbs, and fishing.
Collections:
Although the entirety of her collection is admittedly for sale, it is still a collection. Tillia collects, and sells, bones of various animals and beasts, stones of various kinds, shells from snails and sea-creatures of many different breeds and seeds for plants that may be used for cooking, decoration or protection. And anything else she comes across which she believes may hold some value.
-==============-
Personality
Likes:
Tillia likes water, lush vegetation, cooking, fish for dinner and the color purple.
Dislikes:
Tillia dislikes mountainous areas, rock surfaces, people who pee in the water and large, intelligent creatures.
Dreams:
Tillia dreams of a world where humans are not slaughtering each other and anyone who gets in their way; where she can build a hut by a lake with lush vegetation all around her and live in peace with the love of her life, whom she has yet to find.
She dreams of having a grand adventure before she settles down, though, so she can claim to have actually lived.
Fears:
Tillia has a natural fear of large predators, droughts and a somewhat irrational fear of large crowds.
Favorite Color:
Purple; because her mother had purple spots and the color calms her.
Favorite Food:
Roasted fish with fresh herbs; because it is fun to catch, fun to cook, smells delicious and tastes even better.
-==============-
Biography
Family:
Tillia only ever knew of her mother. Her father was napped by a predator when Tillia was just an egg and her mother cared for her at the bottom of a lake for the first year of her life. Her mother is, as far as Tillia knows, still alive and well; living in a small village of various species.
Social Heritage:
Poor, probably, though Tillia never considered herself as such as she never felt she needed anything.
Social Standing:
Tillia is still, technically, poor. She still does not see herself as such. She gets food every day from what she collects for herself, she is dressed and even has a sort-of job.
Childhood:
After spending the first year of her life at the bottom of a lake, feeding on raw fish and playing with sea weeds, the world above the surface seemed odd and terrifying. She had to breathe on her own by drawing air into her lungs and often got dizzy from forgetting. Her mother was there to guide her, though, so she never felt unsafe. She was taught how to jump properly so she could do so without falling over or straining a muscle and with the possibility of jumping around in the trees, quickly found new ways of playing.
When she was just about to reach her teenage years, her mother decided that they should settle, rather than the nomadic life they had lived thus far. They settled in a small village where several different species had come to live in unison. Tillia spent the remainder of her growth there, playing with other children for the first time in her life.
Occupational History:
None other than collector and merchant.

General World Information
Most of the world will be speaking the human tongue, simply because most of the world is inhabited by humans. Obviously, there are other languages from before the humans got there, but these languages are considered ancient and no one in the cities speaks them as their primary language. There may be a very few species/races that have decided to keep their own language, but most of them will have simply converted. Speaking the human tongue makes it less likely for the humans to slay you.
(Once other languages are decided/made, I will add them here)
All currency is in coins. The worth of each coin is different to each merchant, since there is no established worth of the currency.
Generally, gold coins are worth the most. These are worth at least a full set of clothes of wearable quality. Silver coins are worth about half of a gold coin. Bronze, led, iron and whatever else people have thought to made coins of are only worth as much as the person selling you stuff believes.
Gems are believed to be acceptable currency, as well, though you will most likely get screwed over if you try to buy groceries or clothing with gems.
Places of Notice
One of the Two Great Cities. The City of Earroldir is the “original” city of the lands, where the first King resided. It is a rich in both wealth and nature and considered a most beautiful place. With its lush greens around the nicely paved roads, it gives off an air of tranquility for the people that lives within the great walls. At least the ones who live in the inner cicle.
Earroldir is made up of three “circles”.
The center of the city is the King's Castle and the Grand Temple. These two buildings are placed on a platform much higher than the cicle around them. The King's Castle is, obviously, wher the royal family resides. The Grand Temple is the home of monks, nuns, priests and priestesses of the goddess Klavon, also known as the Angel of Peace. Her statue stands by the steps to the Temple.
The Inner Circle of Earroldir is where the rich and famous live. There they are safe from the dangers outside of the walls and protected by the markets from the stares of the poor.
The Middle Circle is the market distrect, where the hard-working, middle-class people live and work. Here is everything from tailors that make dresses with strings of gold for the royals to dirty conmen selling shiny rocks as gems to adventurers selling artifacts to simple grocers.
The Outer Circle is where the poor and unfortunate live. This is also where the Earroldir Army stays when not in battle to protect their lands.
One of the Two Great Cities. The City of Grapholo was the second city, where the King claimed war against the King of Earroldir. Though the Kingdom is rich from the many mines of the mountains around the city, the people as a unity is poor. By far the most of the city's income is spend on feeding the ancient war and keeping the soldiers alive.
The City of Grapholo is build upon three mountains. One mountain has the King's Castle on the top, one holds the Temple of Humossis, The God of Fortune. The people of Grapholo live down the sides of these two mountains and traders travel between the two roots with wares.
The third mountain of Grapholo is the home of the Industrial Quarters, where armors are made, weapons are smelted and magis are trained.
Between the roots of the Two Mountains of the King and the Temple, an arena has been built. This is where their soldiers stay when not at war and where they are trained to be ruthless killing machines.
The Temple of Iaanza was build when the humans first came to the land. It is said that Iaanza was actually an old word for “the land” in one of the natives languages. The humans, however, worship Iaanza as the God of Balance. The Temple and all ground around it is inhabited by those who live and breathe only to serve Iaanza.
According to myth, Boldor was built when humans first came to the land, to protect them from the much stronger and very vile creatures that lived there. It is said that the giant walls was all they could do to keep themselves safe from their magic.
Boldor is a giant fortress. Although it is no longer considered a livable place, many seek refuge behind the giant walls as a means out of the war. Also, the large, cave-painting-esque carvings in the walls are beautiful and tells stories of horror and beauty at once.

Deities
The deities of the world are actually an old species that just call themselves “The Ancients”. Ancients are immortal, indestructible and immune to all disease. They cannot die by any force of nature that we know of. They can, however, be killed by their own powers, or the lack thereof.
Each Ancient have a different power. Their powers varies from shape-shifting into anything they eat to brining the dead back to life. They are very rare and most do not consider them a joined species, but several different deities.
Klavos, the Goddess that watches over Earroldir, is an ancient of great power. She able to do many things by the sheer life force of the world around her. As the world slowly dies by the hand of the humans, her powers grow weaker and she is much more careful of who she lends them to and can only allow them to a true believer of peace.
Her powers include healing wounds and bringing the dead back to life, though she cannot guarantee that they have not changed when they do, as she uses life force in general and not their own life force to ressurect them.
She can also bless and curse lesser beings.
Her Blessings Include:
The power to heal, the ability to talk any language, the power to cure diseases, the power to “transfer energy”, incredible luck and such things. She cannot, and would not if she could, offer a blessing with destructive purpose.
Her Curses Include:
An array of diseases, from minor ones like a flu or diarreaha to such as a disease that would melt your flesh, one that would make you hurl everything you eat until you die from starvation and searing pains in your every muscle, joint and vein. Other than this, she might curse you with horrible luck, a terrible balance, the inability to speak, the inability to have children or even
She is also known to curse those of excessively vile nature with the curse of eternal life, but with a body that is not alive. These are called “Undead”.
It is said that any non-believer that speaks of her as “The Angel of Peace” will have the curse of horrible luck placed upon them. This is just a rumor though; they don't know if all those people already had bad luck.
The mark of Klavos:
Humossis, the Goddess that watches over Grapholo, is an ancient of great power. She can do many things by the control of the workings of the body. As more and more creatures are born, she becomes stronger and stronger. She is quite selective on who she give her blessings, as she enjoys a good show.
Her powers include infinite strenght and speed as well as the ability to turn eveything into gold. If something living is turned into gold, it no longer lives. It is simply gold.
Her Blessings Include:
Incredible strenght, unbelievable speed, the ability to breathe underwater, the ability to use magic, indestructability and such things.
Her Curses Include:
Diminishing mucles, weakening lungs, the disability to use magic, haemophilia, osteoporosis and many other horrible things.
The mark of Humossis:
Iaanza is an ancient of great power, once known to the lesser creatures that roamed the land as the land itself, but he is now known as the God of Balance. He is in conpmete control of the nature, be it plants, animals or any other life form that lives in his land. He can do anything he wishes and he is quite a tricky fellow.
Unlike his fellow ancients, he does not bless or curse anyone, unless he is asked to do so and get something else in return. One may request a blessing of him at his temple and he will respond with a request of his own. If one were to decline, so would he. He might even curse the one that had trobled him for no reason.
The mark of Iaanza:
Rare Species
Dragons as we hear about in the stories do not exsist. They may have, once upon a time, but they would have been too large of a threat and would have been wiped out before they could even say "hello" simply due to their massive size.
However, the dragon race is not completely extinct. Like most of the other creatures that roamed the lands before the humans arrived, the dragons evolved to fit this new world. Most people would not even recognize a dragon as a mythical, any more. Their appearances do not stray far from that of a human.
With white hair that shimmers like crytal under the shine of the sun, slitted eyes and long, bony fingers, they simply appear as a human with mythical ancestors.
The dragons can, however, change this shape whenever they wish. They will wrap themselves in a cocoon, much like a butterfly, and when they emerge, they will be a lizard-like creature with wings, about the size of a human. They will grow to their original size within a few weeks, but their scales are very soft through the process, so they usually stay hidden in caves for protection.
The word “genius” have many different meanings. In the human tongue, it is usually used to descibe someone very smart. However, it means much more than that to the ones that hold the name. It means everything. Humans tend to call them Demons or Devils, although they are in no way related to these creatures.
Genii are a tall, slender species, with long legs that end in in lizard-like foot and a long, lizard-like tail growing from the bottom of their spine. They have razor-sharp teeth, with canines about twice the length of the rest of the teeth and no lips. Their eyes are large and wide; with no iris or pupil. They have hair, but only on their head. Their skin is rough, with a feel almost like sandpaper and a dull, dark gray color. Their hair and eyes vary in color from dark brown to amber yellow or crimson red. Just about any color will do.
Genii are genderless. Their chest area appears to be that of a very fit human male, with defined muscles. They have no nipples, though, and no genitaila. Like with a bird, all bodily waste is handled by the “anus”.
The Genii are belived to live underground, as both their eyes and skin are very sensitive to sunlight and they can see perfectly in complete darkness.
Some myths claim them to steal human children, since their genderlessness will not allow them any of their own. Others claim them to steal human women, for some reason that has to do with reproduction as well.
Undead is a word used for any person that has been struck by the most terrible curse of the Goddess Klavos. They were once normal, living creatures. They might have been an Elf or a Dwarf; they may even have been a Dragon or a Human. They might have been anything before they were cursed.
Once a person is cursed with the “Undead Curse”, they are immortal in the sense that they will never actually stop living. The life force will never leave their body. Their bodies are technically dead, but because of the life force that is still there, they can still move around. Their flesh will rot and fall off. Their eyes will dry out of use, if they do not fall out of their rotten sockets first. They are walking, rotting corpses.
When they have lived for so long that they are nothing but walking bones and even their bones are turning to dust, Klavos gives them the opportunity to repent their sin and gain peace. If they do repent, they will die. If they do not, they will simply waste away to dust and their life force will wander around with no body.
An Undead with no body is usually called a Ghost. Ghosts are harmless, but can seem frightening to any species/race able to see these masses of life force that just wanders around.
Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years ago, humans came across the seas. Never before had any land-living creature ventured out that far into the terrifying seas, not knowing what was out there, if anything. The humans built ships; large, wooden structures that could float on the water even when the stroms caused the waves to get tall as the trees. Only a small portion of humans came, but they came with an idea of a world far different from the one already there. They came with armors and weapons. They tore trees down and built structures instead. They killed peaceful creatures because they were different from them.
It was not long before the creatures that had once inhabitated the areas where the humans settled, had to flee. The humans made their way of life impossible. They even attempted to teach them their way of living, telling them that their way was the right way. They crushed their caves and used the stone to build houses. They felled their forests and used to wood to build huts. They tore up their gardens and spread gravel instead.
But as it turned out, fleeing helped little. The humans were curious creatures and spread out all over the lands, making settlements whereever they felt like. Whether it was in the middle of an nymph clearing or under an elven treehouse, the would simply destroy any and all life around them, whether it was by the means of their weapon or by felling their homes and foods.
As if it was not bad enough that the humans were now spread out all over, it turned out that they were quite reproductive, as well. It was only a hundred years or so before there were more humans that there were creatures of any of the original kinds. Their settlements grew to villages. Some of those villages grew to towns and some of those towns grew to cities. The creatures that had once called these lands home, now lived mostly in hiding, fearing the shimmering blades of the humans.
As it turned out, humans are herd creatures. Without a leader, they run amuck. So, a leader rose for them. In one of the cities, a man claimed himself a King and had a castle build in his honor. He named some of the other humans as Lords, Ladies and other fancy titles, such as Duke, Count or Baron.
For a little while, the humans were peaceful.
Another human, in another city, then decided to appoint himself King as well. He named his Dukes and Barons as well and a divide was made. The two cities were now capitals of each their country and as they were about to find out, humans rage war.
War has been raging between the two countries for what seems like eternities. No one remembers why it even started or why they keep fighting, but neither intends to admit defeat. The “mythicals” are spread out all over the land; some hiding from the humans and living in peace with nature, some in villages or towns of their own and some in human cities and towns. Some abide by the ways of the humans and some of the old ways of their kind. Some have even mated with the humans, creating mixed breeds and magis.
Lately, over the past few years, a rumor has been buzzing around of a creature so strong that it could end all wars forever. A creature that could ground the Great Cities like a small plant. Sadly, no one seems to know what this creature is or where.
So... I am horrible at the whole fleshing out idea bit of GMing. It's fine. You can tell me :-P
Anyways, I am looking for dedicated roleplayers who can write at least a couple of paragraphs, has the decency to spell- and grammar-check their posts before posting them and doesn't mind that their might be a bit of a lull at some points due to IRL stuff and such.
I want this to be High Fantasy with Fireball-throwing Mages, bow-slinging Elves, axe-wielding Dwarves, Knights in shining armor and the whole shebang.
I'm picturing vile beasts roaming the wilderness and, well, wilderness that can eat you. I want people to get really creative with animals and vegetation.
I'm not gonna complain about seven feet tall, acid-drooling dog-rabbit hybrids with front paws the size of a normal person's torso and jaws like a crocodile. Or a plant that will cause yellow spots all over and kill you in slow and painful way; or one that can cure this.
I want some real creative roleplayers ^^
And, uhh, I'm honestly known to be a bit bitchy at times, but that's because I'm a great fan of detail. Even though I want everyone to be creative and all that, I would still appriciate some realism. Stuff like why the acid-drooling dog-rabbit hybrid does't burn itself.
I don't want you to be childish about it. I won't mind if you discuss things with me, like whether or not the acid-drool is actually acidic or if it's just poisonous to human skin and causes it to melt or something like that, but I don't want any “well, if it can't be my way, I'll just leave”... 'cause then I can gladly slam the metaphorical door in your face.
I'm not “rude”. I'm honest.
With that said, I actually do have some humor, though my sense of humor is quite special. I would blame the fact that I am danish, but even danes think I'm weird.
Like everyone else, I find it funny if people fall over; as long as they don't get hurt. I find nudity funny. I even find the taboos funny, sometimes. I don't mind a dirty joke or a “a jew walks into a bar” sort of thing, but we should respect each other.
Also, I rant a lot... Ahem...

Heritage
Species:
Anurae
Race:
Jungle Anurae
Genetic Attributes:
With their strong, frog-like legs, the Anurae have a God-given ability to jump about three times their own height into the air even without proper training and much higher with it.
With their nictitating membrane, a transparent third eyelid, the Anurae has the advantage of clear sight under water and the lack of a moment of blindness when blinking.
Anurae can hear both in the air and below water. They do not have external ears; the eardrums are directly exposed or may be covered by a layer of skin and are visible as a circular area where a humans ear would be.
Due to blood vessels directly beneath the skin, an Anurae may breathe through their skin when underwater. The oxygen is drawn from the water and stright into their blood.
During extreme conditions, such as drought, blizzard or famine, some Anurae enter a state of torpor and remain inactive for up to several months.
Some Anurae have a coat of poisonous gel on the outside of their skin to protect them from larger predators. Some have poisonous salvia, as well, to pralyze their prey to make it easier to bring home. Others have salvia that has a cleansing, numbing and almost healing effect.
Physical Genetic Traits:
Large, frog-like hind legs; many with frog-like markings as well.
No ears, only “hearing holes”.
Thick, slimy tongues with poisonous, cleansing or just sticky saliva
Some Anurae have frog-like markings all over their bodies. Thin, often very pale skin. Somewhat large hands, with no nails. They tend not to be very big; some of the smallest are known to be just above three feet at full growth and some of the largest stand at just about five feet.
Magical Capabilities:
Anurae have no special magical capabilities. In fact, they have none at all.
-==============-
Appearance
Height:
3'5” or 104cm
Weight:
45lbs or 20kg
Body Type:
With a genetically slender build, Tillia does not have a lot of curve to show. She has next to no bust and barely any hips. Her body appears to be as developed as that of a twelve-years old girl.
Hair Color:
Carrot orange with darker streaks.
Eye Color:
Sharp, almost glowing amber that reflects about any spec of light around.
Skin Color:
A slightly dark tan with a few olive green and black markings.
Special Traits:
Olive green, freckle-like spots on her face, shoulders, upper arms, -chest and -back.
-==============-
Talents
Abilities:
None
Magical Skills:
None
Combat Skills:
Tillia, and most Anurae in general, have more of a flight than fight instinct. They will do pretty much anything to stay out of dangerous situations, including, but not limited to, jumping into trees, fleeing underwater or just running like hell. It is rare for an Anurae to try and reason with a foe, either, as their flight instinct is very dominant.
Domestic Skills:
Tillia is quite good at cooking; especially fish as this is her favorite. She knows which plants can be eaten and which cannot; at least for her and her kind.
She can perform first aid on someone in need; give mouth to mouth, wrap a wound and lick wounds to clean them and ease the pain.
-==============-
Interests
Pets:
Tillia has no pets, but she would like a mount of some kind.
Hobbies
Cooking is as much of a hobby as it is a necessity to Tillia. She enjoys it thoroughly. She also enjoys collecting ingredients, such as spices and herbs, and fishing.
Collections:
Although the entirety of her collection is admittedly for sale, it is still a collection. Tillia collects, and sells, bones of various animals and beasts, stones of various kinds, shells from snails and sea-creatures of many different breeds and seeds for plants that may be used for cooking, decoration or protection. And anything else she comes across which she believes may hold some value.
-==============-
Personality
Likes:
Tillia likes water, lush vegetation, cooking, fish for dinner and the color purple.
Dislikes:
Tillia dislikes mountainous areas, rock surfaces, people who pee in the water and large, intelligent creatures.
Dreams:
Tillia dreams of a world where humans are not slaughtering each other and anyone who gets in their way; where she can build a hut by a lake with lush vegetation all around her and live in peace with the love of her life, whom she has yet to find.
She dreams of having a grand adventure before she settles down, though, so she can claim to have actually lived.
Fears:
Tillia has a natural fear of large predators, droughts and a somewhat irrational fear of large crowds.
Favorite Color:
Purple; because her mother had purple spots and the color calms her.
Favorite Food:
Roasted fish with fresh herbs; because it is fun to catch, fun to cook, smells delicious and tastes even better.
-==============-
Biography
Family:
Tillia only ever knew of her mother. Her father was napped by a predator when Tillia was just an egg and her mother cared for her at the bottom of a lake for the first year of her life. Her mother is, as far as Tillia knows, still alive and well; living in a small village of various species.
Social Heritage:
Poor, probably, though Tillia never considered herself as such as she never felt she needed anything.
Social Standing:
Tillia is still, technically, poor. She still does not see herself as such. She gets food every day from what she collects for herself, she is dressed and even has a sort-of job.
Childhood:
After spending the first year of her life at the bottom of a lake, feeding on raw fish and playing with sea weeds, the world above the surface seemed odd and terrifying. She had to breathe on her own by drawing air into her lungs and often got dizzy from forgetting. Her mother was there to guide her, though, so she never felt unsafe. She was taught how to jump properly so she could do so without falling over or straining a muscle and with the possibility of jumping around in the trees, quickly found new ways of playing.
When she was just about to reach her teenage years, her mother decided that they should settle, rather than the nomadic life they had lived thus far. They settled in a small village where several different species had come to live in unison. Tillia spent the remainder of her growth there, playing with other children for the first time in her life.
Occupational History:
None other than collector and merchant.

General World Information
Most of the world will be speaking the human tongue, simply because most of the world is inhabited by humans. Obviously, there are other languages from before the humans got there, but these languages are considered ancient and no one in the cities speaks them as their primary language. There may be a very few species/races that have decided to keep their own language, but most of them will have simply converted. Speaking the human tongue makes it less likely for the humans to slay you.
(Once other languages are decided/made, I will add them here)
All currency is in coins. The worth of each coin is different to each merchant, since there is no established worth of the currency.
Generally, gold coins are worth the most. These are worth at least a full set of clothes of wearable quality. Silver coins are worth about half of a gold coin. Bronze, led, iron and whatever else people have thought to made coins of are only worth as much as the person selling you stuff believes.
Gems are believed to be acceptable currency, as well, though you will most likely get screwed over if you try to buy groceries or clothing with gems.
Places of Notice
One of the Two Great Cities. The City of Earroldir is the “original” city of the lands, where the first King resided. It is a rich in both wealth and nature and considered a most beautiful place. With its lush greens around the nicely paved roads, it gives off an air of tranquility for the people that lives within the great walls. At least the ones who live in the inner cicle.
Earroldir is made up of three “circles”.
The center of the city is the King's Castle and the Grand Temple. These two buildings are placed on a platform much higher than the cicle around them. The King's Castle is, obviously, wher the royal family resides. The Grand Temple is the home of monks, nuns, priests and priestesses of the goddess Klavon, also known as the Angel of Peace. Her statue stands by the steps to the Temple.
The Inner Circle of Earroldir is where the rich and famous live. There they are safe from the dangers outside of the walls and protected by the markets from the stares of the poor.
The Middle Circle is the market distrect, where the hard-working, middle-class people live and work. Here is everything from tailors that make dresses with strings of gold for the royals to dirty conmen selling shiny rocks as gems to adventurers selling artifacts to simple grocers.
The Outer Circle is where the poor and unfortunate live. This is also where the Earroldir Army stays when not in battle to protect their lands.
One of the Two Great Cities. The City of Grapholo was the second city, where the King claimed war against the King of Earroldir. Though the Kingdom is rich from the many mines of the mountains around the city, the people as a unity is poor. By far the most of the city's income is spend on feeding the ancient war and keeping the soldiers alive.
The City of Grapholo is build upon three mountains. One mountain has the King's Castle on the top, one holds the Temple of Humossis, The God of Fortune. The people of Grapholo live down the sides of these two mountains and traders travel between the two roots with wares.
The third mountain of Grapholo is the home of the Industrial Quarters, where armors are made, weapons are smelted and magis are trained.
Between the roots of the Two Mountains of the King and the Temple, an arena has been built. This is where their soldiers stay when not at war and where they are trained to be ruthless killing machines.
The Temple of Iaanza was build when the humans first came to the land. It is said that Iaanza was actually an old word for “the land” in one of the natives languages. The humans, however, worship Iaanza as the God of Balance. The Temple and all ground around it is inhabited by those who live and breathe only to serve Iaanza.
According to myth, Boldor was built when humans first came to the land, to protect them from the much stronger and very vile creatures that lived there. It is said that the giant walls was all they could do to keep themselves safe from their magic.
Boldor is a giant fortress. Although it is no longer considered a livable place, many seek refuge behind the giant walls as a means out of the war. Also, the large, cave-painting-esque carvings in the walls are beautiful and tells stories of horror and beauty at once.

Deities
The deities of the world are actually an old species that just call themselves “The Ancients”. Ancients are immortal, indestructible and immune to all disease. They cannot die by any force of nature that we know of. They can, however, be killed by their own powers, or the lack thereof.
Each Ancient have a different power. Their powers varies from shape-shifting into anything they eat to brining the dead back to life. They are very rare and most do not consider them a joined species, but several different deities.
Klavos, the Goddess that watches over Earroldir, is an ancient of great power. She able to do many things by the sheer life force of the world around her. As the world slowly dies by the hand of the humans, her powers grow weaker and she is much more careful of who she lends them to and can only allow them to a true believer of peace.
Her powers include healing wounds and bringing the dead back to life, though she cannot guarantee that they have not changed when they do, as she uses life force in general and not their own life force to ressurect them.
She can also bless and curse lesser beings.
Her Blessings Include:
The power to heal, the ability to talk any language, the power to cure diseases, the power to “transfer energy”, incredible luck and such things. She cannot, and would not if she could, offer a blessing with destructive purpose.
Her Curses Include:
An array of diseases, from minor ones like a flu or diarreaha to such as a disease that would melt your flesh, one that would make you hurl everything you eat until you die from starvation and searing pains in your every muscle, joint and vein. Other than this, she might curse you with horrible luck, a terrible balance, the inability to speak, the inability to have children or even
She is also known to curse those of excessively vile nature with the curse of eternal life, but with a body that is not alive. These are called “Undead”.
It is said that any non-believer that speaks of her as “The Angel of Peace” will have the curse of horrible luck placed upon them. This is just a rumor though; they don't know if all those people already had bad luck.
The mark of Klavos:
Humossis, the Goddess that watches over Grapholo, is an ancient of great power. She can do many things by the control of the workings of the body. As more and more creatures are born, she becomes stronger and stronger. She is quite selective on who she give her blessings, as she enjoys a good show.
Her powers include infinite strenght and speed as well as the ability to turn eveything into gold. If something living is turned into gold, it no longer lives. It is simply gold.
Her Blessings Include:
Incredible strenght, unbelievable speed, the ability to breathe underwater, the ability to use magic, indestructability and such things.
Her Curses Include:
Diminishing mucles, weakening lungs, the disability to use magic, haemophilia, osteoporosis and many other horrible things.
The mark of Humossis:
Iaanza is an ancient of great power, once known to the lesser creatures that roamed the land as the land itself, but he is now known as the God of Balance. He is in conpmete control of the nature, be it plants, animals or any other life form that lives in his land. He can do anything he wishes and he is quite a tricky fellow.
Unlike his fellow ancients, he does not bless or curse anyone, unless he is asked to do so and get something else in return. One may request a blessing of him at his temple and he will respond with a request of his own. If one were to decline, so would he. He might even curse the one that had trobled him for no reason.
The mark of Iaanza:
Rare Species
Dragons as we hear about in the stories do not exsist. They may have, once upon a time, but they would have been too large of a threat and would have been wiped out before they could even say "hello" simply due to their massive size.
However, the dragon race is not completely extinct. Like most of the other creatures that roamed the lands before the humans arrived, the dragons evolved to fit this new world. Most people would not even recognize a dragon as a mythical, any more. Their appearances do not stray far from that of a human.
With white hair that shimmers like crytal under the shine of the sun, slitted eyes and long, bony fingers, they simply appear as a human with mythical ancestors.
The dragons can, however, change this shape whenever they wish. They will wrap themselves in a cocoon, much like a butterfly, and when they emerge, they will be a lizard-like creature with wings, about the size of a human. They will grow to their original size within a few weeks, but their scales are very soft through the process, so they usually stay hidden in caves for protection.
The word “genius” have many different meanings. In the human tongue, it is usually used to descibe someone very smart. However, it means much more than that to the ones that hold the name. It means everything. Humans tend to call them Demons or Devils, although they are in no way related to these creatures.
Genii are a tall, slender species, with long legs that end in in lizard-like foot and a long, lizard-like tail growing from the bottom of their spine. They have razor-sharp teeth, with canines about twice the length of the rest of the teeth and no lips. Their eyes are large and wide; with no iris or pupil. They have hair, but only on their head. Their skin is rough, with a feel almost like sandpaper and a dull, dark gray color. Their hair and eyes vary in color from dark brown to amber yellow or crimson red. Just about any color will do.
Genii are genderless. Their chest area appears to be that of a very fit human male, with defined muscles. They have no nipples, though, and no genitaila. Like with a bird, all bodily waste is handled by the “anus”.
The Genii are belived to live underground, as both their eyes and skin are very sensitive to sunlight and they can see perfectly in complete darkness.
Some myths claim them to steal human children, since their genderlessness will not allow them any of their own. Others claim them to steal human women, for some reason that has to do with reproduction as well.
Undead is a word used for any person that has been struck by the most terrible curse of the Goddess Klavos. They were once normal, living creatures. They might have been an Elf or a Dwarf; they may even have been a Dragon or a Human. They might have been anything before they were cursed.
Once a person is cursed with the “Undead Curse”, they are immortal in the sense that they will never actually stop living. The life force will never leave their body. Their bodies are technically dead, but because of the life force that is still there, they can still move around. Their flesh will rot and fall off. Their eyes will dry out of use, if they do not fall out of their rotten sockets first. They are walking, rotting corpses.
When they have lived for so long that they are nothing but walking bones and even their bones are turning to dust, Klavos gives them the opportunity to repent their sin and gain peace. If they do repent, they will die. If they do not, they will simply waste away to dust and their life force will wander around with no body.
An Undead with no body is usually called a Ghost. Ghosts are harmless, but can seem frightening to any species/race able to see these masses of life force that just wanders around.
