Int Check
♊ IC Stuff ♊Northern Brown/Green Region is Kaien.
Southwestern Black/Grey Region is Doniaeth.
Southeastern Lime/Green Region is Thao.
Central White/Grey Region is the Open ScarThe PlotOur world is not right, regardless of what shade of light you look at it from. An eternity of pointless battle will only continue to kill our world, and our people. Though, it's impossible to make such a sudden change for the better when the very people themselves know nothing else. And what of the cause of this war? Some say it was the god of this world himself who started the war, others say the founders of each kingdom simply were unable to get when they all had vastly different ideals. But for so long? Why? During the skirmishes on the battlefield between the three factions, a new threat arises, one that appears from the unknown and crushes the elite of each nation with ease, a colossi creature that has never been seen before. With this new threat to our homes, a shimmer of hope arises, the three nations arrange for a meeting of a temporary ceasefire... The first ever.Important People
Rhys WelchRhys Welch, the prodigal young inventor that has recently made a name for himself with his advanced skills in robotics and guncrafting. Being the boy who invented ARCs 'Aerial Robotic Combatants' which are essentially small mechanized dragons armed with guns, he has become the spotlight of Doniaeth and is growing in fame nearly every day.
Damon Krump, The AlchemistDamon is the current leader of Doniaeth, being a brilliant man with a superiority complex only able to be compared with a tyrannosaurus. He strives to find a method of immortality, and as such funds and pushes all scientists who research this goal head on. This man is also twisted in the worst kind of way, known to capture prisoners of war and use them for psychological experimentation, some even say he has brainwashed strong soldiers from enemy nations to become bodyguards. Despite his darker methods he is respected by his nation for his great mind and his ambition to progress, keeping himself alive and in power. 
Theresa BellflowerThe first of nobles dabbling in the experimentation of the Elixir of Immortality, Theresa was a young gunsmith who would later grow to become the matrarch of the Bellflower family which have a large amount of influence over the wealthy entrepreneurs within Doniaeth. As she was the first guman to be inflicted with the hemoplague, she is seen as it's representative to the masses. Her resources are currently being spent on the protection of her people and the research to create another sustainable food source. Theresa is also said to be a bit of a vigilante within Doniaeth, going out of her way to solve problems that arise around her.
Thomas E. Whiteroad, The PopeThomas Whiteroad has been a faithful man ever since he can remember. His father, the former pope taught him everything he would need to know. From basic magic to distributing and balancing taxes, even determining how much rations each district of his nation would need each year. This holy figure is indeed a very faithful man, though cold and heartless to those in need as he is blinded by his prestige and wealth. Though despite this, the people of Kaien revere him and his word is the closest thing to god even the peasants struggling to survive know. So he holds his clutches tightly on the throat of those he rules, and never loosens the grip of oppression.
Roza HeartfordThe military leader of Kaien, Roza Heartford is a strange woman. Said to be one of the greatest magicians of our age, she is capable in every category of magic and is most notable for summoning creatures that require armies to destroy. Additionally Roza is also a priestess of Glân making her an extraordinary healer that is not overlooked on the battlefield. With her intuitive talent, and hidden strategic genius she is a well-respected general of Kaien that is not to be overlooked.
Gretchen SchildbachAt the core of magic creation and discovery is Gretchen Schildbach, a small girl who adores destruction and chaos nearly as much as the next magician. Though her faith may be weak, and she may be frowned upon by higher authorities who give orders- she is not one to trifle with. The Pope often sees her as a neccessary evil within the church as she watches over the 'Little Magician Academy' within Kaien walls.
Zhong Xin DaoAs the military leader of Thaos, Zhong is feared as a relentless and bloodthirsty general who fills those on the battlefield with terror. Donning flashy clothing and a single katana, Zhong is able to combat with machines of war and experienced mages easily. Though it is the people within Thao walls that are most careful towards their general. Many lives are lost within the military academies in which Zhong had opened, for those not strong enough to master abilities are not fit to enter the battlefield in the general's eyes. Many people see this person as the current leader of Thao seeing the influence in which they have. However the empress who rules would say otherwise if she felt like it.
Fang Hua YanTitled the Merchant Queen, Fang Hua is a very famous woman within Thaos. Leading in the trade of fencing 'selling stolen goods' she brings in foreign items that are usually unobtainable and sells these odds and ends to turn a profit. She is most notable for bringing guns to Thaos, where they were disassembled and recreated, though bows are still the most prominent ranged weapon used by Thao soldiers. Fang Hua is a good friend of the empress, and is said to be twice as old as she looks, offering the myth that the two have obtained eternal youth by drinking the blood of those they had conquered.
Nyu Hou, The EmpressDisobedient, rash, spiteful, immature. These are things that would describe the ruler of Thaos the nation of war and conquest. Despite the girl's small-young look, she is old enough to be the most veteran of Thao warrior's grandmother and many generations before. Despite her legends of immortality and inability to appease her boredom, she is most known for one thing. Lack of leadership, she does not lead the nation that she rules, she simply states that it her's and that is all. The people run rampant and do as they wish, and Nyu simply watches in amusement.
More to come...Important Groups
Led by Theresa Bellflower this order of nobles is currently in control of Doniaeth's black market, are leading in Alchemic research, and are selling the most sought after guncraft in their nation. Though they are feared, and often discriminated due to their extended lifespans and inhuman strength, the nobles of this Order are seemingly on good terms with the people and are continuously in efforts to make their home a better place.
The Paladins of Kaien are seen as heroes of legend, with extensive histories reaching far into the birth of their country. Serving the Church without question, these knights of faith are the most respected soldiers of the Kaien nation inside and out. Leading their company are three men each holding the title of Crusader, each of these three men lead a smaller regime which serves directly under them. The Paladins are most notable for holding enchanted weapons which are family heirlooms or are gifted the weapons from the Church itself.

♊ OOC Stuff♊ ~
Spots Open 2/6 ~
To start things off barrels blazing, there will be a limited numbers of spots in this, so I hope that each one of you try your best. I ask that you all recognize that as much as I'd like to give everyone a position in this, how the story will be structured does not cater towards a big group and thus the ending results of this will be six characters taking place in this story. Additionally I ask that you all start with making characters from Thao or Doniaeth, since two of these spots will immediately be occupied. Don't worry, once we've progressed enough you will be able to make more characters should you choose. Lastly, I would ask that no sheets are to be posted in this thread. You may post them in the Interest Check if you want them to be public, or through PM if you don't, after the six players have been chosen they will be placed in a thread designated to holding these characters.~
Freedoms and Necessities ~
In this roleplay you'll have a large amount of freedom in creating your character's story. The world is here for us to build, and I've only really scratched the surface of what it's capable of. Though despite this, there are certain things that must absolutely be present in your character. They must be loyal to their nation, traitors and deserters are often hunted down before they can reach a safe location. They cannot exceed the power of any of the leaders within the nations, this is to avoid some gamebreaking and plotrending douchebags along the way. Lastly your character must show traits of their nation's ideals, I'm not asking for your character to be programmed into thinking a certain way, but the fact is that living somewhere your whole life will cause it's aspects to rub off on you.

♊ Chat Nonsense that will Answer some Questions ♊
[7:39:12 PM] Anderiel: A fire spell can give the fire the force of an 18 wheeler.
[7:39:13 PM] Ashifili: not creation or magnification?
[7:39:16 PM] Anderiel: Or make it rain from the sky.
[7:39:32 PM] Anderiel: Or cause a pilalr of flame to rise from the ground.
[7:39:39 PM] Anderiel: Fire Manipulation is...
[7:40:44 PM] Anderiel: Fire Manipulation - Moving x amount of fire with no physical means. Being able redistribute it over a set distance, and control it over a set distance.
[7:41:21 PM] Anderiel: So, unless they have some alterior means to start a Large Fire.
[7:41:33 PM] Anderiel: It's not very strong, unless you're in a forest.
[8:02:45 PM] Ashifili: how far does magic say fuck you to physics?
[8:03:25 PM] Anderiel: It's more like.
[8:03:32 PM] Anderiel: Lightning =/= Magic
[8:03:41 PM] Anderiel: Lightning = A Natural Occurence
[8:03:49 PM] Anderiel: Natural Occurence = Science
Lightning Magic = Magic
[8:04:10 PM] Anderiel: Lighting =/= Magic
[8:04:53 PM] Ashifili: so lightning magic is the shooting of lightning bolts and shizz, but it can't change what lightning itself is?
[8:05:19 PM] Anderiel: Lightning Magic is mana.
[8:05:40 PM] Anderiel: Therefore, it's not Lightning.
[8:06:07 PM] Anderiel: It's an imitation of a Natural Occurence in the form of a spell.
[8:09:44 PM] Ashifili: as a summary...
[8:10:21 PM] Ashifili: Basically, elemental magic is an imitation of the real thing, meaning that there are no elemental spells that can change the physical properties of an element?
[8:10:32 PM] Anderiel: Exactly.
[8:10:34 PM] Ashifili: As in, you can have lava, but you can't have liquid fire
[8:10:41 PM] Anderiel: Yes.
As such, elemental magic takes a natural occurence, such as an avalanche or a tornado, and then uses magic to mimick it. You can't do something to an element that reality doesn't allow, such as making solid air or gaseous rocks. So, you know, no one can break that rule, unless you're God.
[8:23:12 PM] Anderiel: Rhys Welch
Rhys Welch, the prodigal young inventor that has recently made a name for himself with his advanced skills in robotics and guncrafting. Being the boy who invented ARCs 'Aerial Robotic Combatants' which are essentially small mechanized dragons armed with guns, he has become the spotlight of Doniaeth and is growing in fame nearly every day. <--- Read that, and look for the word Prosthesis.
Why do I even type this stuff if it's not going to be read?
[8:25:12 PM] Anderiel: I don't even.
[8:25:16 PM] Anderiel: What the serious fuck.
[8:19:10 PM] Anderiel: Magic can't give X-ray vision.
[8:19:17 PM] Anderiel: Magic 'can' give invisibility.
[8:19:25 PM] Anderiel: But it's finite.
[8:19:32 PM] Anderiel: And not like perma-stealth.
[8:21:12 PM] Anderiel: Not spine surgery.
[8:21:24 PM] Ashifili: doesn't he do prosthetics though?
[8:21:28 PM] Anderiel: No.
[8:22:06 PM] Anderiel: He made the ARCs
[8:26:11 PM] Anderiel: I said Fantasy Tech.
[8:26:15 PM] Anderiel: No Sci-Fi Tech.
[8:34:06 PM] Ashifili: does magic bend the laws of physics/reality, generally?
[8:34:11 PM] Ashifili: bar Sky's wtftimemagic
[8:34:49 PM] Anderiel: The best way to explain it would be.
[8:35:15 PM] Anderiel: ST+MT=R
[8:35:30 PM] Anderiel: ST-R=MT
[8:35:40 PM] Anderiel: MT-R=ST
[8:36:00 PM] Anderiel: Science Theory = Scientific Knowledge or Imitation Magic.
[8:36:32 PM] Anderiel: ^
[8:36:48 PM] Anderiel: They are equal things, and are a part of reality.
[8:36:56 PM] Ashifili: so they can't change it?
[8:36:59 PM] Anderiel: Nope.
[8:37:03 PM] Ashifili: only do things within the constraints of reality?
[8:37:07 PM] Anderiel: Yes.
[8:37:21 PM] Anderiel: A rock cannot be a banana.
[8:37:25 PM] Anderiel: No matter how hard it tries.
[8:37:35 PM] Anderiel: No machine can do the impossible.
[8:38:11 PM] Anderiel: Sky's magic if it ever gets brought up.
[8:38:17 PM] Anderiel: Is just super advanced spacial magic.
[8:38:20 PM] Anderiel: #explained
So yeah, I'll go over all this stuff again.
There are two types of objects that can do magical stuff by forcibly sucking out mana from their user: magitech and magical artifacts. Now, Magitech is less efficient in mana usage compared to magical artifacts, and all magitech are equal only to a 'Principality-level magical artifact. That means that each single magitech object can only have one spell/use. If you then make that single use something like a manipulation spell, the usage would be very basic, and always weaker than a specific spell.
