Plot back story in a nutshell - All non-human races have been banished from society, you can play as a member of any of three teams;
Byrds Guard - Humans fighting for human rule over everything, founded by Jenkins Byrd
The Kult - Demons, undead and generally thought to be evil, Fighting to destroy the humans in retribution of their founders death. founded by Captain Kult
The Order of Nytmar - Half-breeds and generally good races Fighting for not domination, but their own personal rights. Founded in the memory of Hayley Nytmar, not for her crimes, but her surrender.
350 years ago, in the city of Nytmar, life was different. Humans were tolerant of other races; the elves, gnomes, faeries, demons, and even the vampires were commonplace. It was a haven of technology and magic, with the human engineers working alongside elven sages. Mermen could be found at every bar. Harpies attended sermons from church rafters. Goblins would take part in political events lead by vampires. But it was one of those vamps that caused the problem.
313 years ago, children started going missing, 2 or 3 a week. It was a large city, and disappearances occasionally happened, so the city guard turned a blind eye. It was a few months before they even started looking for the culprit. It took 4 years of searching with no results until a demon guard captain by the name of Captain Kult found evidence that it was Hayley Nytmar, vampire daughter of the human mayor. It was an election year, so she bribed him into keeping it secret.
It was a further 3 years before someone else discovered it. People had been living in fear for 7 years, never letting their children out of their sight. When they finally found the killer, it was obviously going to be a media bloodbath, but a literal bloodbath was less expected. Hayley went quietly, allowed herself to be arrested, but the Captain Kult, went on a rampage when discovered to have taken the bribe. A young elven rouge, the fiance of Nytmar's last heir, died stopping him, and a younger human prophet girl by the name of Harriet was mentally scarred. Half the city guard was killed or incapacitated and it took years for them to recover the numbers. Hayley and her father, Jonas Nytmar, lost any reputation they once had. Jonas was overthrown by a racist human called Jenkins Byrd. Nytmar's Heir committed suicide over the loss of his love.
Byrd took instant control over the situation, first banishing undead, vampires and demons, then goblins and harpies, as the most 'evil' races, but with the lack of guards crime rose and most of them stayed. Soon, the guards got their numbers back, mostly human, and Non-humans were exiled all together, with crime blamed entirely on them, and the city was re-named Toeford, after the river flowing through it.
With Toeford's high stature in society, many other towns and cities followed suit and banished half their population, especially seeing the sudden drop in crime, that was in reality just due to the sudden influx of guards and loss of people, meaning guards almost outnumbered civilians. Some humans left their towns too, in support of their friends of other races. Only useful lesser beasts, such as horses and pack-mules, or meat bearing animals, like swine and cattle, were left in human society. Some cities even denied pets.
In need of somewhere to live, undead took over abandoned villages and demons and daemon took the local ruins. Vampires sheltered from the sun underground in self made villages. Goblins, dwarfs and harpies fled to the mountain caves for solitude, followed by the minators, gnomes and tourans. Mermen fled to their old homes in underwater cities, sirens followed. Elves, faeries, lycan and shifters went into forests, with eternal grudges against the creatures that forced their banishment. Half breeds and other races formed camps, some content to settle down, others wanting to fight back.
With the entire population scattered, humans flourished and the slums were cleared to be re-built properly. The city was walled off. Magical objects slowly became less common and less powerful as enchantments faded and humans magical skills wore down with no other magical energies left in them. Their technology had to be re-structured and started over from scratch. But whenever a non human society became too structured, they were slaughtered. Those living in natural formations had their surroundings for protection, and gradually built up, but humans still managed to slow their growth just enough.
Finally, 6 years ago, after 300 years of banishment, non-humans started to gain the organization needed, and some races even dropped grudges against each other. Many groups were formed, but 2 stood out for their basic goals. The Order of Nytmar, followers of Hayley, believed that she had done wrong, but in allowing herself to be taken into custody for the death sentence she had redeemed herself. They believed that humans and non humans could live in harmony again, but they knew it would have to be done by force. They were made mostly of humans, elves, dwarfs and faeries. Many other species were also members. Taurans and gnomes favored them, but mostly stayed impartial.
The other team, The Kult, followed the demon captains morals of greed and wrath, wanting to take Toe-ford back for themselves, killing all human occupants out of wrath and revenge. They were led by the first to leave, demons, undead, harpies and goblins, but also had other races in them. Many lycan favor them, although the more powerful 'lone lycan' sub-race hates them. They prayed for the day that their leader would return.

Name: Mool, first name long since abandoned
Nickname: Yarvie Mool
Age: 32 / 327
Race: 'vessel' – human in all ways but one, she can allow other minds to enter her body. They are the missing evolutionary link between human and elf, and very rare as they can only breed with others of their kind and their children are elven.
Team: Second in command at Harriet's outpost for The Order of Nytmar usually. Occasionally a warrior in Nytmars Assault.
Appearance: 5"8', reasonably thin. Looks human, except for the hair colour. Normally has neck length, strait pink hair, has been seen with much longer, frizzy purple hair. Wears loose fitting trousers or a skirt with a side-cut. Usually wears bright colors, but been known to wear black. Kind eyes. Rather flat chested.
Main abilities: Prophecy, thievery, knife throwing. Can occasionally cast fire based spells and wield a katana.
Sub abilities: Needle rain (a technique using a block of needles tied together and a knife, that causes it to quite literally rain needles in a small area.) Preparing the attack is time consuming, so usually used once in a mission.
No more skills worth noting (yet)
Basic Equipment: throwing daggers, penknife, 5 meters of 'sharp-string' (enchanted string to be sharp and strong as steel wire, but light and flexible as wool.) and occasionally a needle block.
Other info: lives in a tent in a small settlement outside of Toeford at the moment, is generally nomadic. Has multiple personalities, Mool is the prophet with pink hair, Yarvie is the thief with purple hair. Yarvie is slightly taller than Mool. Solquar is kept deep within the subconscious when possible. Each persona has a different ability
