Introduction
The Blue Moon Tavern is intended as a highly social Role Play that demands character/player involvement and originality. The purpose is to have as much fun as you can and to try and discern the secrets of the tavern, the world, and the course your character is headed. Is he truly as evil as he believed? Is she truly the innocent girl she was dreamed to be? Are they truly who they were? This Role Play brings together characters from all over the realm, the province, the continent, the world, and the multiverse. I truly encourage everyone to try and make an OC that can, with time, become as identifiable and wonderful like a family member. If they were to die, we would shed a tear. Should they succeed in a quest, we would cheer for them. If they were to turn to the path of evil, we would feel a heartbreak so deep that despair looms over us all.
Originally, I was going to place this in the Advanced Roleplay forum, but I decided that it would be best if we started off simple since the beginning is simply that: simple. Nothing is complex, though it can be when given time. This RP is meant to be a living thing, always growing and ever expanding, with a heartbeat that comes from the energy and involvement of players. This RP is meant to be something relaxing, with the potential for excitement. I am hoping that this will catch everyone's attention and perhaps be provided with a few more ideas, some ingenuity to help make it something people would enjoy for a long, long time. Although, it'll end at some point, but that depends on the players and their actions. Perhaps it'll end when someone, anyone, or everyone manages to uncover the plot buried beneath existence of the Tavern and their own fates.
The Blue Moon Tavern
Long ago, Ranaamar was ravaged by a dark civilization known as the Dearmadta. A powerful empire that was corrupted by their supremacy and birth right had conquered the lesser races of the continent. However, they were at a constant state of war with the Shaarnathi, humanoid snake-folk who ruled the continent of Oo'bau, a forlorn place full of deserts and jungles; and with the dreaded Kuulhi, otherdimensional entities from beyond time and space, who ruled the continent of Shoba and the Great Glacier of Uldranor. The three ultimate powers fought fiercely, neither side giving sway, until a human under the tyranny of the Dearmadta led a rebellion, betraying the Dearmadta army in the process. His name was Walter Belnadez, a former general under the Dearmadta Emperor's personal army and handpicked for his unusual prowess in the ways of warfare. Leading a revolt with the other races, the Dearmadta army fractured and the Empire dissolved.
Though such a victory brought upon the most horrible of consequence. The Sharnaathi and the Kuulhi swarmed the continent of Ranaamar with their own army of monsters and minions, bringing with them long forgotten magics. Raping and pillaging the land, destroying homesteads and slaughtering innocents, they fought one another fiercely without any further distractions between their rivalry. Walter Belnadez, however, did not deter from his path of peace and freedom, and continued to fight with the entire continent at his back. They fought back with the tenacity of wolves, defending their home from monstrous invaders.
However, Walter Belnadez vanished from the midst of the battlefield. In the end, the races and remnants of the Dearmadta Empire drove back the invaders. Victorious, the lands were given to each of the great races. The Humans were gifted with Elrikur, a province of great beauty and the heartland of a new world. The Dearmadta, bloodsworn to forever remain from ruling the lands, were provided homes so long as they had remained scattered: a form of pardon for their last minute assistance. The other races thus ruled the other provinces, each selecting a leader.
Centuries later, as the stains of war began to fade, there remained the creatures of the war; fossils to remind the races that peace and freedom will always be threatened. Thus, these creatures have been named "Remnants." To remedy this, mercenaries have been hired to slay the Remnants, though many die in this venture. It wasn't until a mysterious tavern appeared in Belheim did success in the slaying of the Remnants rise. It was called "The Blue Moon Tavern." Legends state that the tavern lures those with a strong, yet unwritten destiny to its doors. However, these legends have been laughable to most, but only those who are lost or searching for something greater, to show their greatness, have managed to pass through its doors.

Character Classifications
Character Classifications (CC) identify characters with their current use of power. When they rise above the rest, they grow stronger. Between A-Class and Lower S-Class, there is a significant gap in power. The gap continues to expand in the S-Classes, where someone in Upper S-Class has considerable more power over someone in Mid S-Class. These growths come from hardship. When a MAJOR storyline comes into play, it is automatically deemed (at least) an S-Rank mission; of what variety, it is unknown. Though it takes time, the results help even the playing field. The more experienced warriors can easily outclass someone lower ranking than them. This shows the difference between veterans and newbies.
