A Foreword
This is a reboot of an RP by the same name. All credit for the idea, and a good portion of the following text goes to Cynder. With this iteration of the RP, we want to focus on character interaction, just like in the original, but add in a dash of world building. Players will be allowed to add in bits of information about lucis/earth as they please, though planning things out in OOC would be a good idea first. This RP is by everyone for everyone, so have fun!
Introduction
The year is 2066.
It has been exactly twenty years since two parallel, yet unseen worlds, finally made contact with one another. It has been officially nineteen years since these worlds viewed and respected each others differences and soon, it'll be time for the 19th anniversary of peace between this two extremely different worlds. After the very fabric of time and space split, Lucis and Earth, forever separated, became one through a massive breach in the sky.
This wormhole, dubbed by common tongue as the "Black Gale" is home to miles of unexplored wilderness and the infamous "mysterious labyrinths" which are known for appearing randomly, spawning a number of monsters and always changing in design when entered. In order to combat the threat of wildlife, labyrinths and even potential war between the two worlds, a number of academies have begun to pop up all over the areas of the Black Gale currently inhabited by humans.
These academies vary by location, but all have the same general concept -- "the end result is peace." Each school takes a variety of races from both worlds and by allowing them to co-exist and learn from each other, students work together towards graduation. Upon graduation, students are officially recognized as "Gatekeepers", an honor by any form of government and realized by both worlds to be enforcers of law, peace and overall, protection.
You are one of these students. Perhaps you are ordinary or extremely gifted, good with technology, magic, alchemy or people. Either way, you've been chosen by the headmaster of one academy in particular -- the Academy of The Arcane Artes. It is unknown as to why students are chosen, but the academy itself is outstanding by standards with high graduation and some of the most famous Gatekeepers are known to have graduated from there.
That being said, the option is yours to take.
Will you accept the offer?
The Worlds
Earth- Home to humans, who, over the past few thousand years, have advanced their technology to ludicris degrees. With everything from laser guns to giant mechs, humans are able to make up for their weaknesses. They have developed ways to make just about everything but space travel efficient. There are still 3rd world countries, still stuck in a retro-modern era, that ended 50 years ago for most 1st world countries. humans are completely incapable of using magic, at least Earth-dwelling humans, anyway.
Lucis- Home to just about every fantastical race you could amagine, though the most common are elves, dwarves, orcs, gnomes, and goblins. All of the races have their own take on magic. Some learn it, some have it from birth, while some never have it. Lucis is very low-tech, somewhat comparable to medieval. This lack of technological innovation was mostly due to the convenience of magic.
If you create an original Lucian race, you have free reign on world building for that race, though, if someone wants to make a character with your race, your gunnu have to give them a share of the world building.
The Academy
To be updated over the course of time. In the meantime, enjoy your uniforms that just recently arrived in the mail -- just in time for the first day. (all credit to Cynder for the uniform images)
The Letter
The letter is received at the same time for every student. It is dropped nearby the student (such as a windowsill) by a raven, black as
night. It can appear during the night, day, afternoon or elsewise. Should you be a second year student and so on, you receive a variation
of this letter that is simply updated information about you. After this letter is received by the academy, you are to receive a uniform
bearing the academy's crest with the choice of a cloak or coat.
There is a sheet attached that is required for you fill out. When filling it out, please delete all brackets, thanks guys!
Rules
1.) You may have as many characters as you'd like and/or can handle.
2.) If you have any questions, please leave them in the thread, PM a GM or visit our chat. You may also request to join the skype group.
3.) I am not the only GM, just go look up, and you can see the loads of people who can judge your character sheets, answer questions, and other things.
4.) Shouldn't be too much of an issue, but there is to be absolutely no powerplaying, metagaming or godmodding allowed.
5.) Avoid speedposting. There will not be a posting order, however, we do not want two pages between the same two people.
6.) Respect Co-Mods, they have all the same powers as GMs. You may speak to us in the skype group if you wish to be a Co-Mod.
7.) No smut is permitted, anything past hugs and kisses is either "fade to black" or take to PMs.
8.) You may attack another player's character, however, you cannot kill them without permission.
9.) You'll receive a warning if you start drama outside of the Roleplay: first one to start, first one out.
10.) If a troll appears, feel free to poke at it, but don't feed it. Do not be a troll yourself.
11.) Not a rule, but I'd love to see some character development, plot twists, proper grammar and so on.
12.) You may not control another person's character without their permission.
13.) We all control the plot together, so use the chatzy and pm to plan things. Using titanpad to write collab posts is highly suggested.
14.) If someone else already created a race you want to use, go off of what they put or ask them about it.
15.) Have fun and enjoy yourself!
Well, my hands hurt after applying BBcode to all of those lines, so, enjoy.
