A few final notes before we get started! This post is to primarily help you out on the things your character would know about his/her world and to get feedback on how you'd like your character to be introduced and whether you'd like them to be part of the starting party or whether you'd like them to come later. I'd rather not bring in all twelve characters at once, so pick which one you'd like to come first. The RP will begin Monday, July 22nd, and you'll all get a message from me when it opens up. So please let me know about your characters before then!
For my Coroco/Guardian people (Frederick Johnson, Lucas Morander, Shola Rehau, Lilth, Nyx)
World Lore: The world was created by the five goddesses: Kirimbal, Nilan, Segae, Ilah, and Villica. They formed the world of Coroco from the chaos of the void. The bit of the void that remained became the darkness the Daal people worship and from which the Dire Queen came. To keep the void in control the goddesses created from the magic matrix (the place all magic comes from) beings called Guardians.
Guardians were given great reserves of power typically held in check by their Other, a being created to house their human heart and who holds their power in check. An Other killing their Guardian is the only way for the Guardian to be removed from the cycle of revival from death. The death of an Other devastates the Guardian, but frees them to be able to use their full (world-destroying) power, but they no longer have human feelings or emotions like compassion or empathy. Only a goddess can unlock their full power while the Other is alive.
Some Guardians have consigned their souls to the Dire Queen in order to escape the yoke of the Other dynamic.
A basic description: A land of many geographies. To the north and the west is an ocean populated by islander people. In the south is a swampy territory containing the mysterious ruins of a lost village, a ranch, and a few scattered villages. In the center are vast plains with the royal city in the middle. To the east is a dense forest and to the farther east is a mountain range over which live the Daal people.
Cyberia:
A radial city where there is no government, no police, only pure capitalism. Assassins can be bought to kill anyone for the right price and are usually employed by guilds, some of which steal children (being nest-robbed) to train. The city lacks natural things: grass, animals, bodies of water, etc. Generally very gray and dingy.
Sandbox:
Modern-day Earth where supernatural beings are more or less normal. There are rumors that the magic matrix here can be depleted and cause worldwide destruction, but it's seen as a conspiracy theory.
Waterworld:
This world was once like the Sandbox, but some catastrophe caused massive flooding and many to die. Those that remain have somehow forgotten about boats and people ride a train between islands. Metro Island is the biggest, most prosperous islands.
Paradise Island:
A world rebuilt after the apocalypse and now under totalitarian rule. Citizens function with IDs that also work as debit cards with money issued from the central bank. There are no personal vehicles, no pencil/pen and no paper. Everything is electronic.
