The World

The majority of this world is covered in water excepting the one large landmass that the races call home. Much of it is explored, but unsettled, and many old ruins and other 'adventure spots' dot the land. Monsters roam the lands, and often come into conflict with the races. If it hadn't been for the crystals that fell from the skies in the early days, the races would have been wiped out long ago.

The Crystals

In the beginning, two crystals were formed from the base matter of the universe. The crystals of chaos and order represented a balance when they fell to the land. Chaos in the western deserts, and order in the lush east. Since then, there has been one hero graced with the power of order, and one with the power of chaos during times of calamity - of which there have been many. However, this is not the only power of the crystals. The energy of chaos permeates the air, and at times creatures become empowered with it - creating Kishin. The energy of Order is less unpredictable, and infuses the races to power their magic and technology.

Kishin is the name given to creatures that are imbued with the power of chaos. They are larger and more powerful, and often have strange abilities. When they are killed, the chaos energy manifests into a physical object known as a Kishin egg. If another creature eats the egg, it becomes a Kishin itself. And if a Kishin eats another egg, it becomes even more powerful. Kishin represent a significant threat to the Races, and thus they often set larger bounties on such creatures. There is one way to destroy a Kishin Egg, and that is to cleave it with a weapon. When done so, the energy dissipates and some absorbs into the weapon that did the deed, giving it greater abilities.

However, since the new emperor took the throne, rumors of kidnappings and experiments with Kishin Eggs have started to circulate out of Zann...

The Lands

In the many centuries since the beginning, the races have created three civilizations.The Zann Imperium in the west was created by the first hero of Chaos, to protect the crystal from the monsters and from hands that would misuse it. The Kingdom of Sanctuary in the East, by the first hero of Order for a similar reason. And Cornelia, a large city-state that takes up the center of the land, a natural barrier between Zann and Sanctuary. Founded by the White-Gold Dragon bloodline of Order and the Onyx Wyvern Bloodline of Chaos, it is a land of harmony and is said to have been created due to a vision granted the founding heroes.

In the past few years, Zann has become more aggressive, expanding and accelerating their military buildup. In response, so has Sanctuary. This, of course, means that Cornelia had to do the same. Tensions between Zann and Sanctuary are high, and Cornelia worries the prophecy is coming to pass.

The Races

All civilized races on Tretigon are humanoid, though not all are humans. Though they have their own culture, they also have all integrated together into the lands and the cities inside.

Humans
Elves
Canidae - Features of Wolves, Foxes, etc
Felindae - Features of Felines
Avions - Long, feather-like hair and feathered wings that allow for short flights
Aqeous - Blue-skinned with headfins and forked tails

Magic and Technology

Magic, Magitech, and Technology are the three sides of the triangle that society is built upon. Magic is something that is granted to those bloodlines blessed by the crystals, who are so known by a Mineral and animal - such as White-Gold Dragon and Jade Wolf. Over the years, many children have been born of the blood, so near anyone can be born with the ability to cast magic - but those with a direct line are often more powerful.

Magitech is technology created that mimics magic effects, and is used both by those who can't cast magic, and just in everyday life to make it just a little bit easier. Some examples are imbuing a sword with the ability to burst into flames, or a small device that can lessen ones speed in the air so a deadly fall becomes a simple landing.

Technology has advanced far. Airships are outfitted for battle, and weapons are usually augmented with magitech for a multitude of reasons. Almost every weapon has the ability to mechanically transform between a melee form and a ranged form, while others are simple magitech combinations such as shotgun-gauntlets. The most common ground transportation are bird-like creatures called chocobos.

Why are you in Cornelia: Lives and Trains in Cornelia with his family

Personality: Kind, Gentle, Loyal, and Passionate. He tries to make friends, and is supremely loyal to those he has. Should someone slight them, he will come to their defense without hesitation. He is also somewhat awkward, especially should someone flirt with him.

History: Alren was born to the bloodline of Jade Wolf, but without the ability to use magic. Far from a disappointment, his parents raised him well and his clan treated him as an equal. Though he is young, he showed great promise in the art of skirmishing, often outspeeding bullies and with acrobatic prowess to take unorthodox routes through Cornelia. One his fifteenth birthday he was tasked with crafting his own weapon, and though what he made was small, it holds power and Arlen is very skilled with it. He has never been in real battle yet, but he longs for the day that he can get out of the city and adventure, build relationships, and see the world before settling down with a female he finds himself to love.

Race: Elven
Starting Class: Warrior
Appearance:

Equipment:

-Dagger which she keeps in her boot. This blade only allows her to attack in close quarters and is mainly used for emergencies-

Why are you in Cornelia: Heard rumors of a rare and priceless occult book that harbors many unspoken

Personality: A kind, sweet, and bold girl who usually says what is on her mind. She does her best to help when she can and is always happy to teach another person the best ways to fight and train for combat. Celestia's method of talking is a bit poetic in a way and she tends to ramble about how interesting the occult and magic is. Since she holds no magical talent, she decided to do research and learn about it instead.
 
Name: Ohli Azu Sapphire-Tiger (Real name Zela Ohl)
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Race: Felindae
Starting Class: Thief

But with blue instead of orange complimenting her black stripes

Equipment:
180852

In addition, she's armed with tools of her trade, including various lockpicks, a small kit of painted tin and colored glass pieces (to switch out real valuables for costume jewelry), a jeweler's eyepiece, a small ball containing a magitech light spell, and a bag to store it all in.

Magic: low-level ice magic. Not strong enough to be a weapon, but useful in keeping her alive.

Why are you in Cornelia: To make a profit off of the wealthier citizens.

Personality: Comes off as a little full of herself, boasting her masterful forgeries and expert thieving skills in a hyperbolic way, making her sound better than she really is. Despite this air of confidence, she's well of her real level of skills but she's good at playing the long game, making people think she's better than she is to get business. Her façade is also a good disguise for her true feelings, appearing happy and always three steps ahead when in fact she's as scared as any other street urchin.

History: Ohli was born in the Zann Empire. As a young girl, she seemed to be set for life to have a prosperous childhood and with her inherent ice magic a high standing in the Empire's social circles. But for reasons that were never explained to her Ohli was placed on an airship at a young age and sent to Cornelia for her safety. However, during her travels her ship was shot down by unidentified assailants. She survived the crash, but it became clear that those who shot her down were still looking for her. Left with only one option, she decided to live off the street, fending for herself and assuming a new identity, changing her name from Zela Ohl to Ohli Azu.
 
Apparently I forgot to visit the interest check and didn't get any emails about new posts. I'll hopefully have a profile done by the end of the day.
 
Hello. I'm back. Time to get to some character reading!
 
Name: Jimothy Verdantson
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Race: Canidae
Starting Class: Artificer

Appearance:
10192.jpg

Has auburn hair, fox ears, and a bushy fox tail. Has casual clothes like those in the picture. His armor is a form-fitting suit with grey-painted armor plates added on over the chest, on his lower torso, and on his limbs with a hood that's molded around his fox ears. He wears a brown cloak over all of that over his armor and he wears it separately from his armor on cold days in general.

Equipment:
-Bullpup Assault Rifle/Parrying Dagger: Custom-built by Jimothy, it is a weapon designed for medium to short-range and melee combat. It uses what he considers to be a robust and elegant design. If the functioning parts of one mode become damaged (the blade or barrel), it is still able to transform into and fully function in the other mode. It is able to fire in single-shot, three-round burst, or full-automatic modes. Its accuracy isn't the best beyond moderate distances as its main purpose is to stop any hostile that gets too close dead in their tracks or stop them from stabbing him. It's mechanisms literally revolve around a heavily reinforced central point made of exotic materials, the barrel separates from the firing mechanism, rotating back to hug both sides of the grip (making just enough room for his hand) as the blade/hilt rapidly extend when it switches to dagger mode. When going into gun mode the same happens in reverse and the dagger mechanisms retract to hide within the grip (locks slide into place to prevent the dagger from extending and fouling the weapon when it's in gun mode). There is a shoulder guard that can be optionally extended when it is in gun mode. Jimothy enjoying loading it with special ammunition when he gets the chance, but he only has a few low-quality fire and ice bullet magazines at the moment as he's blown most of his funds on his other weapon.

-Offensive Bolt/Defensive Shield Projection Magi-Enhancement Device: What Jimothy's been spending most of his funds on, a device that takes his weak magical gift and heightens it to new levels of power. It does this by passively storing his lightning-aspected magical energies and later focusing them into magitech spell-casting matrices at the press of a button. This device takes the form of a thick left-handed gauntlet, with its delicate mechanisms hiding behind armored plates. In its Offensive Bolt Projection mode, two rods extend from the back of the palm allowing it to throw bolts of compacted lightning magic, which explode violently in bursts of electricity that scorch and shock whatever they hit. In its Defensive Shield mode, a small buckler extends from the forearm allowing it to project a forcefield to create a wide and weightless round shield (that does extend over the surface of the buckler). The projected energy shield is capable of stopping moderately powerful magic, bullets, and other short-lived impacts dead in their tracks, though it fails only after a few seconds when consistent pressure is applied to it. While he's not likely the first to make use of magitech for the purpose of augmenting their own talents, constructing such a device has been his dream since he was a child. He has plans to make better versions of it in the future, though most of all he wants to hopefully create a version suitable for mass production so it can find it's way into the hands of the local Cornelian army. The main thing stopping that is the fact that the device must be used by someone with their own innate magic and its internal mechanisms are highly complex.

-Alloy Armor and Armored Cloak. While he's not quite used to it, this is a form-fitting kevlar armor reinforced with light-weight alloy plates in key positions around his torso, arms, and legs. Suitable to prevent his vitals and limbs from glancing/low-power blows. Not wanting to bother with a cumbersome helmet, he's added a hood with chainmail built into it that's also molded for his fox ears. He wears a cloak made of chainmail and light-weight cloth over it all to help protect the armor from the elements and to keep his tail safe. The cloak has a high collar to better protect his neck and a simple hood in it as well. He prays that he doesn't have to go to the desert wearing all of this someday, wearing all this in the summer already results in a nearly unbearable build-up of sweat and body odor. It's also not the best-looking armor, as he did make it himself.

Why are you in Cornelia: The workshop he works at is inside Cornelia, but he's also been itching to get some field testing done so he's fully ready to take a break from his regular duties to get some adventuring done.

Personality: Jimothy is easygoing in his day-to-day life as he's gotten it down to a matter of simple, but enjoyable, routine. Enjoyable because he has ample opportunities to get lost in tinkering and he has a good job with a steady income. He believes that one shouldn't worry overly much about things beyond their control and to try not to control too many things in life regardless. When he does have to confront an issue in his life, he prefers to take a methodical and orderer approach to it. He likes to crack jokes and be snarky to keep the mood light out of a sense of compassion (as one does when one tries to make light of the fact that two separate armies might march out to conquer Cornelia any day now), though he is capable of being fairly serious and professional when he has to. He is very proud of his custom-made equipment and perhaps overestimates what it can do. He likes to talk shop with other technically minded people, though will generally try to only talk about what other people around him are interested in. He is respectful to those who use their skills to protect Cornelia, but he has no desire to be caught fighting on the front lines of any future conflicts or to be part of any armies.

History: All his life, Jimothy Verdantson has lived his life inside of Cornelia. He was born in one of its towns and now lives in one of its cities. With his natural talents, he was able to get himself a spot as an apprentice in artificer's workshop in his teenage years at a slightly early age. He's spent the past few years there, slowing putting together his personal weapons and a suit of armor in his free time with his own money. His bloodline on his father's size includes lightning magic, a gift that he's mostly neglected in favor of learning how to build magitech. Recently he's been wanting to properly field test his gear so he's been looking for an adventure to go on or even just the right opportunity to come up. In the meantime, he has been attending weekend combat lessons in preparation for this.
 
SO consider me interested. I might just need to DM you a few things since I have a character in mind and such but we'd probably just need to work a few things out
