The back of the game package would read thusly:
Embrace your Wings. The world of Ashlin cries out for a hero...with monsters on the prowl, and an evil presence lurking somewhere in the distance, it is up to you to quest with your companions to retrieve Feathers of Ash to one day summon the Goddess back unto the land and cast out the anchient evil threatening the world...Will you be a master of Magic? A Blademaster to rival the greatest knight? Find your path in this endless adventure!
Choose Your Race:
Hyur are the most common race found in Ashlin. Though they can be the most varied in appearance; Thin, Tall, short, fat,..They hail from around the world...making them diverse. They hold the most basic of stats, and are well rounded. No real advantage in any one area, but no disadvantages either.
Xillites are a strange race that has taken on animistic qualities. While mostly Hyurian in appearance they have key differences. Animistic ears, and most often a tail, though there seems to be an abundance of canine and feline Xillites, it's said that the Marshlands of Ashlin have bread a more reptilian breed as well....This race tends to be a bit quicker than Hyur, naturally, but lack the raw strength (Its a very minor difference, don't let it play too much into your choice. If you have a specific animal that you want to be based off of that's fine. but they must be mostly human like in appearance.)
Lilites are a small munchin type race that has long held a hold on the magical arts. Though they find it easiest to manipulate the Aetheric Arts, there have been some Lilites that take up the sword, the most famous of which, Leudwig the Brave, became a paragon of strength and cleverness, having never had the natural grace for Aether as his fellow Lilites...
Hailing from the mountious regions of Ashlin these large brutish people have been long revered for their strength and prowess with heavy weapons, A few Geaors have been known to take up Aetheric Arts...but its a very rare thing among the race.

Weapon Art Classes
This class prefers to use large bladed swords that are heavy and slow, but hit the hardest of any other class. High Strength, and able to equip the heaviest armor leads this class to prefer to be at the forefront of battle.
Examples of Skill:
Giga Swipe-Level the playing feild with a huge swipe of your sword in a wide arc.

Example of Skill:
Slashing Victory- A series of quick stabs and slashes renders the opponent dazed and bleeding.
These masters of nature use a whip to enforce their will onto a beast of their choosing. Usually a beast master chooses a beast that they call their own. a partner for their adventure. These ferocious beasts lend there strength to their Master in times of need as well as their physical presence. There are tales that in its ultimate form the Beast Master can become like the animal itself...though no one is certain if this is true. They have low strength on their own, but their companion makes up for it. They cannot equip armor.
Example of Skill:
Gutteral Roar- Strike fear into the heart of your enemies with this powerful bellow.
Master Marksmen these bow masters take their craft very seriously. Their accuracy can compare to no other, and they're seemingly endless barrage of arrows make them a terror on the battlefield. Users of light armor they find the most strength in the back of the party.
Example of Skill:
Piercing Shot- Fire an arrow directly into the targets vital organ.
Masters of Stealth and Secrets, these twin dagger users are the quickest of the classes, but also hit the lightest, using their speed and ability to attack from all angles to make up for there extreme lack of power. They use light armor to stay fleet footed.
Example of Skill:
Back Stab- Attacking an enemy unaware, you deal double damage.
Aetheric Art Classes
An essential role in any party, the Sage's healing skills are called for wide and far. Masters of the Light, this Class has a close tie with the Goddess...and is therefore given her blessing. They use robes which offer no physical protection, but instead a magical dampening spell and favor a stave.
Example of Magic:
Ever Light- Your friends feel a warm sensation as all of their wounds heal, and their bodies feel refreshed and wrapped in the Goddess's love.
Masters of the darker Aetheric Arts, they're destructive skill can only be matched by the forces of evil they've sworn to defeat. Users of archeic tombs filled with spells they chant their spells. They wear similar robes to the Sages.
Example of Magic:
Phoenix Flare- Call forth a gale of flame to raze the foes before you.
This class, while at first glance seems inferior to the others, couldn't be more needed in a long battle. Though they can do no direct damage they're dances and songs give buffs to the rest of the party..increasing their strength, defense, or magical ability. Dancers wear no armor, but instead have specific clothing that attunes them with their dances. They carry no weapon.
Example of Magic:
Samba of Streoth: Quick movements cause the party to pulse with vigor and strength.

Also this is an RP thats based in an MMO, so you have your 'real life' char (which can be of any nationality because the game auto translates.) and your 'game char.' If you want to have multiple chars thats fine with me, but i want you to prove you can handle 1 first before moving on to multiple..Your first post IC will be you logging into the game for the first time. Also regarding skills, You will be responsible for making your own, I can help you make a few if you want, but i'm leaving it up to you. You have to clear the skills/spells with me first though, and they must be lvl appropriate. You'll start as lvl 1 so no huge stuff off the bat!
