The majority of the human race has ended, fallen apart by its own greed. Very few human survived and those human are constantly in hiding in fear. The world is now roamed by beasts of unimaginable comprehension; beasts man told of by the legends of long ago. The world is no longer called Earth, but Saethenum(say-thee-knee-um). The reason the humans are living in fear is because the scars from Earth still remain present on Saethenum.

Unknown to where it came from, everyone is making false accusations as to where the evil came from. People claim hell, but rumors are spreading everywhere causing distrust among the regions. No one knows the name of the evil so it had many names from each region.

(T)(H)(E) (E)(V)(I)(L)
The evil is the antagonist in the world of Saethenum. No one knows where its from or what it is. The only thing people have only seemed to find out is that the evil plans to rip saethenum apart at the seems first starting with splitting the people then the guardians.

Saethnum is divided into five regions

Posted Image

MOUNTAINS: The mountain region is home to many creatures who fly such as dragons, griffins, phoenix's. They rule the sky with their mighty voices and power. GUARDIAN:
HEAVENS: Ruled by the heavenly creatures that are angels and where many meetings of the guardians are held. GUARDIAN:
FOREST: Majority of Saethenum's population is here and takes up the majority of land next to the mountains. The humans reside here as well as many of the fairies; most "mythical" creatures we can think of. GUARDIAN:
HELL: Where most of the dead is, where demons reside. Not has bad as humans made it out to be but still bad. GUARDIAN:
SEAS: The second largest region holding many of the sea creatures such as mermaids Atlantis and other underwater mythical adventures. Also one of the most beautiful places. GUARDIAN:
MEADOWS: This is where all creatures of the world go if they want nothing to do with the war. It is a place of danger and a place of safety. GUARDIAN:

Regarding Guardians:

The guardians are what the humans would mostly like be call gods. Though they are no where near being immortal, each guardian has the most magical powers as well as a greater sense of protecting and knowing what is right and what is not, they also rule over a region, but in no way are they to mistreat there people. The five guardians also have a duty of keeping Saethenum safe and in peace at all costs. However, these qualities have been lost by some of the Guardians of Saethenum; they want change, because of the Evil.
Once Five guardians, banded together - one world - Saethenum - was divided into five seperate regions with a fend-for-yourself type of attitude. Why? Because the evil force is working. Only few wise guardians remain- and those few have led their people whom they guard away from the modern world.
Guardians have access to the old ancient magic that was used by Saethenum herself. The magic however, has dwindled down in strength, because as the five guardians divided- something Saethenum didn't intend, so did the magic divide into five seperate pieces.

This story is going to range from having around five-ten people. We need guardians, as well as other characters that simply belong to the regions. I expect we'll be having a lot of mindless goon type of NPC's, just because of how the roleplay seems to orient. The main thing that's going down in this roleplay is -- for Saethenum and Evil to have epic battles -- and to see who wins. However, with how the roleplay is set up, it's pretty flexible for just about anything.
You can create any thing, really, but it's based off of firm roots in fairy tales- with things such as dragons, griffins, fairies, elves, mermaids, etc. But feel free to let you're creative juiced out and express them with a new species you want to create.
The main focus in this roleplay will be resolving the war; and to show the mess of the past, and healing the scarred planet.
Guardians of a land type are the strongest, best leaders for their region; they rule as peacemakers typically, and have command to an ancient magic within Saethenum.
If you want to be a human, you must realize the type of world their living in; modern technology isn't available as it once was-- only in select spots. An ancient magic set my the new creatures and god's has taken the once human filled earth and only left a handful of humans left.
The humans left were the utmost precious once; the smartest, best ones to survive, and who positively benefit the race.
Some humans have dipped into magic- and it's still needing to be honed.

Anyways, this is the general concept, I need opinions and what not now. :)

Good thing posting is allowed now cause:
One your forgot to mention the guardians completely as well as the evil. Also not only that, trust me on this, there is no way this roleplay could work with JUST the guardians, or else I'd be somewhere with it on the other site.

Yea...thats all I can think of now, but be prepared if I throw you more.

Characters Name: Ander
Loyalty: Forest, Seas
Guardian Of: Mountains
Age: 2 Milenia
Species: Pure breed Fire dragon

Personality: Ander is not reserved in the least when it comes to voicing his opinion. When it comes to his domain lands he is viciously territorial and will fight until intruders either die or flee. He has both traits of good and evil, for those who live within his domain and those who come to him seeking shelter and offer services in return he is kind and benevolent. For those who seek to take over his lands or to senselessly kill those who live under his protection he is worse than all Hell region unleashed in his fury.

History: From the beginning of the Fission and the creation of the regions the fire dragon clan began on the side of evil, seeking dominance of others as well as eachother. For thousands of years Ander fought through various threats, both brothers and sisters. He survived with cunning and brutal tactics and when the initial fighting was over he stood above all of his clan, unfortunately to do so, he is also the last of his kind to his knowledge. He took to the mountains and assumed the role of guarding those within, humans, fey, and other creatures. He constantly watched for those of his kind always hoping that there would be at least one of his kind that could understand him now.

Powers: Breath Weapon (Fire or pure liquid Hydrogen), Humanoid shape shifting (can switch between a half-elfish humanoid and a dragon), Molten Crafting (Can create items and artifacts from magma and lava), Fire Manipulation (can create fire, and bend any fire to his will), Great Call (his guarded charges are all but helpless and with a great roar that sends fear into his enemies, calls upon all the dizens of the mountains to gather into a legion), Dragon Fear/Charm (he can either scare target(s) from a great distance to discourage them from entering his domain, or he can lure them in so he can greater assess any threat to the lands he guards)

Strengths: Great leader and tactician, he believes that a good way to stay alive is to fight with cunning, skill, and brutal but strategic blows. Charismatic and willful and a benevolent guardian to those under his protection.

Weaknesses: He's lonely. As well his healing skills are minor, so much so he uses only little first aid, passable only to allow someone to survive either another battle or to retreat to the healers.

Appearance:
Ander

Double post suggestions:

create a neutral faction, something between good and evil trying to exist through the war without really wishing to be loyal to either side...again...makes for a better story...

you have six slots and five roles...perhaps you could possibly create another place? The remains of what used to be maybe...like a city that is still kind of standing...

how are these factions going to mingle...communicate? a map could help tell where the territories are as well as determine boundaries and such.

An advanced roleplayer wants to join? ;O -humbled-
You're character is accepted.

I like the idea of a nuetral faction - but wouldn't anyone that wished to remain nuetral just do nothing within their region?

As for the six slots...that was just incase someone wanted to join. ^^;;

Thanks so much for helping me/adding tips- I'm never GM'ed before. D:

I think I'll design a map now...

heh...not a problem =w=

it's a good concept and obviously I like it (otherwise I wouldn't have signed up =w=)

and as for the "neutral faction" they of course would be caught between the two sides in various battles...as the GM you have to guide the story to different locations as well as help along the plot when or if it gets stagnant...

this rp has A LOT of potential =w=

Characters Name: Nepariel
Loyalty: The Seas
Guardian Of: The Seas
Age: 6019
Species: Nepariel is a hybrid creature. His mother was a mer creature, and his father was half elf and half human. He doesn't know anyone else to be like him; because he's of the mix of magic, no half human/elf/mermaid combination in the same, thus making him unique. (Though he swears there is some dwarf thrown into the mix of him!)
Personality: He's a mystery, really. He takes on more of his mother than his father, because his mother had raised him. His mother was always quiet, thus he was. However, he inherited great leadership from his father. When he has too, Nepariel can step up and lead. He's the type of person who you can yell at for hours and he won't show any bit of being hurt, or annoyed. He knows how to stay calm. He's a humble person.
He's a drifter. He likes happy things. Nepariel is childish - he is still growing, mind you.
History: The great creature was born and raised by her mermaid mother, who lived in the sea. Naturally, Nepariel became avidly in love with the sea and the life it all offered. Even though he could go on the land, he spent as little time as possible.
As a boy, he grew a love for history, and the magic arts of his kind. This swelled into almost an obsession. Nepariel would be known to spend hours on end, looking at underwater libraries learning of the past that shaped up the present he now lives in. One thing he noticed, however, was that all the books were from the sea's point of view; not anywhere else.
Curious, he decided to go to the Guardian of the time: An old mermen known as Tekaria. Nepariel, stunned that he received a priledge to talk to Nepariel himself, he talked about the past, and about life over the sea; and if all the seas were connected, and maps and all of that sort.
Eventually, through many hard and long years of training, and enthuisiasm, Nepariel became the greatest, strongest, and most loved person under the sea. Even the sharks respected him. Time went on and on, and he learned more and gained more, and it eventually came to where he became Guardian. One of the youngest- most guardians were atleast 1oo,ooo. But nonetheless, this brought him a war ahead for him.
He now had enemies; people who didn't like how he reigned.
Nepariel still faces this problem, before the Darkness came, but now faces this, as well. As a defensive protection, he made all creatures of the sea live in the deepest, most hidden places, where others cannot find themm. His people are thriving and are set apart from the rest of the world; he divided himself from the rest of the world - he wants peace, not fighting. And that is what he does now- for he now spends much of his time on land.
Powers: Minor Transformation: Nepariel can transform very minorly, ex: His hands and feet can become webbed or more human-like, and when emerged in water, his ears become fin-like, however on land they are elven-like. His nose/lungs have the ability to take in water or air.
Telepathy/Levitation: Nepariel has pierce into most other's minds and communicate, and he can levitate objects at his command.
Materialism: Using water, Napariel can solidify and materialize things. EX: Henchman, arm chairs, boats, etc.
Master of the Sea: Nepariel, using old magic given to him as a sea guardian, has the ability to control the seas; (water) - he is master of it. He can make virtually anything possible if he is underwater.
Healing: In all living things, there is water. He can heal things with water - not all things, but some.
Strengths: Nepariel is a wise man; he is notoriously known for this. He is an amazingly fast swimmer, and his use of magic if amazing. He is a friend to many; it's just how he works.
Weaknesses: He has a delicate body. If he is out of the water for too long, his skin dries and he is naturally weakened. He isn't good at physical fighting.
Appearance:
Spoiler: click to toggle

Only a mere four foot ten, Nepariel is still growing. His body is weak and child-like, however, he will go through a transformation at some point - he hasn't his puberty yet. And when he does, it's going to hit him hard.

He keeps his clothing simple, and carries a gold triton - something that is passed down from Guardian-to-guardian.
