Eldrida is a land teeming with life, and civilization. The people of this land thrive upon the power of magic as well as technology. While finding pockets of civilization in this world is of little challenge at times, the land holds many secrets and mysteries that are still to be discovered. These secrets can either lead to tremendous riches or imminent death for the most curious or bravest of travelers who wish to live their lives to the fullest.
Those who wish to live much more peaceful and serene lives can decide to either live in one of the many floating archipelagos cities that liter the skies or the other many smaller towns and cities that cover the ground. With either choice, the people of Eldrida are always given opportunities for nearly any type of career that wish to go for. Whether the career might be to become a scholar, a farmer, a politician, or even one of the royal guards of the Kingdom of Aradia. Whatever the choice someone would decide upon, it is considered a mandatory task that all the people of Eldrida must attend the Academy of Zephyr, where all people learn about the history of the land before being taught the understanding and control of how to operate most if not all magical and technological devices that the world of Eldrida revolves around.
The first lesson to be taught is of the power of the Eternum crystal, otherwise known as the source of all magical energy. Little is known about the sparkling light blue crystal other than the fact that historians state that it was one day found during an excavation in one of the mines southwest of the royal city of Aradia. When first discovered, the crystal gave off a strong pulse of energy that launched nearly every single miner from the mines due to the large pocket of it found within. After endless amounts of research and experimentations were done, they were able to extract the large chunk of the crystal from the mine only to find that they were soon able to harness strange abilities that differed from one person to another after just making contact with the crystal itself. Experiments continued after that day and eventually the excavation for more of the crystal became a major investment. Within the span of a decade or so, the understanding of the crystal caused the evolution of technology to spike rapidly, new weapons, new forms of transportation, and even new ways of communication sprung up like wildfire. It was only a matter of time before the largest pockets of the crystal was decided to be used upon other pieces of land to see if it could be used in other ways. To everyone's surprise, the first subject to be used was the royal city of Aradia, installing the largest chunk of Eternum into the ground itself and with the help of those who had mastered their power, they were able to lift not only a ginormous chunk of land into the air but also the royal city itself into the sky. Strangely enough, after a certain altitude, the city and land itself stabilized in the air, no one understands how or why but the advancement was on everyone's mind that it was not of any concern at the time. Soon after the first of rising the city itself into the air was done, attaching and causing other objects to fly through the air was trivial at best. Ships soon flew, eventually even people that did not have the ability to fly originally were given a chance to do so by strapping a device to their backs. However, strangely enough, with this device it appeared as though the energy from the crystal could be drained into the user's body causing the crystal to apparently 'die' before dropping the individual until another crystal would be installed. Scientists still ponder on how and why this appears to be so with people and animals but when it came to ships and land, it apparently did not ever run out. It is speculated that when attached directly to an individual, the power of the crystal is being drained into the user's body to compensate for the weight of a lifeform rather than an inanimate object, but yet, this is still simply a speculation.
The second lesson to be taught at the academy is how to control, learn and understand one's own abilities as well as how technology and magic works throughout the world. Since, everyone is different when it comes to gaining their power at birth, at times it can be difficult to help individuals understand and control their power since at first, the instructors are unaware of what an individual is capable of as well as what their limitations and weaknesses are. Because of this, the first few weeks can be nothing more than testing out different simple situations for the individual, whether it be if they can breathe underwater, set fire to a small piece of paper, have super strength, etc. After learning about their power and what they are capable of as well as what their limitations are, they are taught through tests of their abilities that grow more intense with every few weeks that go by until they've grown a mastery of their abilities. During this time, they are also taught that every device, vehicle, and object they ever may come into contact with will always have some form of the Eternum crystal installed into it. Depending on what they wish to do with the object, or device, they simply need to place their palm over the crystal and it will react to their command. For privacy and ownerships, Eternum crystals can be modified by those who originally installed it to cause it so that only the owner can activate the object, device or vehicle. The same user is also able to cause it so that certain other individuals can use the same device as well.
After these first two lessons are taught and completed, the lessons that follow after are information regarding the royal family, royal guards, authorities, laws, and other smaller details. After everything has been taught, individuals are given a final test to see what they have learned to make sure they have mastered every subject before they are finally allowed to graduate from the Academy and go forward with their lives.
This is where our story begins.
Captain of the S.S Infinity, this particular individual decided that he did not want to live the normal life simply to work for the Royal family, just to spend every single day of his life toiling away just to be paying taxes so that the rich could get richer and the poor just to become poorer. So, instead of heading to the academy to learn about his power or any of that, he decided to learn to control his own power his own way. While this meant his methods of learning were much more extreme due to him battling against wild animals in the process, he eventually mastered his power on his own and soon became lost in his own mind about how everything worked in the world. The fact that Eternum was suddenly found all of a sudden out of nowhere after centuries of it being hidden from sight, the fact that it was able to hold up so many large pieces of land, the fact that when used to have people fly, it drained quicker than when inside an object, all of it made no sense to him. With his questions unanswered and with no book or person able to give him a direct answer, he decided that he would go in search for an answer on his own one way or another. Crafting a giant pirate-like ship through the use of his own bare hands and installing together the largest chunks of Eternum he could mine or steal, he eventually set sail for the open seas and skies in search of answers. All while recruiting as many individuals as he possibly could that would help him on his journey, no matter what stories it may lead him through.

More to come and be added as you guys see fit or come up with! Just because a role is taken, if the role is nothing that seems impossible to have more than one person, you can be in the same role with another person.
For those who do not want to start or want to be apart of the S.S. Infinity crew. Ask for the role and it shall be added if it is accepted.
For hundreds of years, the Demon Slayer Corp. has always been known to protect the innocent throughout the world, even when high political figures refused to accept them, they did their job with the sole goal of destroying all demons and to protect the innocent. Over the years, there have always been new recruits coming and leaving the Corp. it was thought that they would be around forever and eventually the fighting would one day come to an end with humans coming out victorious. The sad truth however was the fact that as the years went by and one generation after another takes up the mantle, little by little, many of the new generation have either stopped believing in demons or the reliant on the growing advancements of military force grew.
Centuries went by and eventually modern day has arrived, technology flourishes, the old weapon known as swords are now replaced with guns, and transportation is much vaster. Even with all these advancements around the world however, deep in the shadows, demons still lurk about, feasting upon unsuspecting humans. Yet, unlike the old times, the Demon Slayer Corp. is nowhere to be seen this time around. It is thought that after the new generation had taken over and the lack of belief in demons as well as courage to face them grew, there has been no one around that wanted to join the Corp. causing them to eventually fall apart.
However, even without the Corp. there are still many of those out there that still have the courage to fight and believe in the old ways. While it is not as official as it once was, there still resides Demon Slayers out there in the world, protecting those that cannot protect themselves from demons and if one is to search hard enough, there is always someone out there that will help.
Strangely enough, those that have seen these new generation of Demon Slayers have also been whispering rumors about how some of these new ones have actually been demons themselves. Whether it is true or not has yet to have been identified as many people either brush aside the possibility of there even being such things as demons, or Demon Slayers. While those who do believe, deny the possible fact that a demon could ever be a Demon Slayer.
Deep within the shadows however, a new threat is coming...one that has never been seen before and will test whether or not the new era is strong enough to continue the legacy of the Demon Slayer Corp. or if they are doomed to death.
Hey!
So, besides the obvious fact that this is a roleplay based on the show "Demon Slayer".
I would like to first bring up that this will be a complete AU. So, no canon characters unless there is a reason to bring them in. Aside from that, this will be based off modern world.
@BangoSkank Ah, alrighty. Thank you. I did notice the formatting cheatsheet that was below. Though I had also noticed there was a few things that the cheatsheet did not mention such as about centering which I was also able to do by [center] and the end of it just with /
Hello there! Was never too great at introductions but here I am!
I've got plenty of ideas for roleplaying however as I'm in the process of making an interest thread, I just noticed...does the site not support different types of fonts as well as font sizes? Or am I just not finding it?
