[CENTER][IMG]http://images4.alphacoders.com/184/184508.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [Center][I]The Kingdom of New Torrea. A kingdom that has gone through lots of changes. Revolutions, reconstruction, revolts, and just now, does it seem that things are finally settling down.... Only to be brought to its primitive stage once more. King Allamon, the kindest king the kingdom has seen in ages and the one that was about to bring peace to not only the kingdom, not only the whole country, but to the whole continent. A virtuos and yet relentless man, has fallen ill and become bedridden, leaving the kingdom in hands of Prime Minister Donat. An intelligent, but unscrupulous man that would stop at nothing to see the kingdom not only prosper, but expand. With the king bedridden, nothing stops him from fulfilling his ambitions, even while the princess tries her best to stall his feet at every step Donat gives, he is still steadily advancing. The kingdom's finest have all gone to his side, and few remain loyal to the real king. This is the story of a group of people that will try to stop the Prime Minister with all they have... or die trying.[/I][/CENTER] [CENTER][h2]FACTS[/H2][/CENTER] [list] [*]There [B]IS[/B] magic in here, but the number of mages is really limited. I will go into more details if someone asks me something either here or in a PM. Every country has a mage of the court, who is the most powerful (known) mage in the country. I don't want the RP to be filled with mages, please, because, as said earlier, there aren't a lot of mages. [*]The only race you will be able to play here is human, though angels and demons also roam around here, there are no elves or dwarves or such. [*]There are some special, real special weapons we'll find here. Their name is Dragon Gauntlets, and there are four of them in total. I'll leave the rest to your imagination as to what you think they can do. Each country holds one of this, and the people who wear them are called Dragon Knights. There are many great stories about them, and they roam around the masses even now, and hold an special place alongside the rulers of each country. [*]The level of technology here reaches guns and weapons of the like, but there are no TVs, cellphones, or crap like that. Still, guns are really scarce, just like magic, so most people still prefer good ol' steel. Guns aren't full auto, but revolvers and snipers are a reality here. [*]Including New Torrea, the kingdom we'll start in, there are 4 other countries your character can come from. [/list] [CENTER][h2]The Countries[/h2][/CENTER] [list] [*][h3]New Torrea:[/h3] This country is bustling with people and technology. With a medieval Italy styling, this is where our story will start from. King Allamon rules here, but he has fallen ill and become bedridden with an unknown disease. His health is really precarious, and his daughter, Princess Strea, tends to him day and night, with no positive results in sight. Prime Minister Donat is now trying to make New Torrea expand. An intelligent man, yes, but with no strategic insight or the slightest idea of what war is. Many back him up, but there are also those who do not, but that's a minority as of right now. The people ache for a revolution now, but a revolution that will bring nothing but pain for them. Klomos is the Mage of the Court here. [*][h3]Milokis:[/h3] Librarians and mages are the majority here. With a look like that of ancient Germany, Milokis is often dubbed as the Country of Wisdom, even though the greatest library of the continent is in a city near and not in Milokis itself. The Mage Council is made-up of 10 exceptional mages, the most powerful mages in all the continent. It seems there's also a Mage of the Court here in Milokis, even though it defies the whole concept of the Mage of the Court being the most powerful mage in the country. The whole country is protected by a barrier that doesn't allow people to get into the country without being a mage OR walking all the way there, in order to protect against foreign attacks. [*][h3]Nijiara:[/h3] The agricultural country, there's a vast flora and fauna here, as well as really dangerous monsters. Assassins and rogues come from here just like the food, of the best quality. The buildings in here are styled like those of feudal Japan. The King, Nodabu, is an strict man with an strategic mind, but still supports New Torrea with all his might, being their principal ally during times of war and such, but with Donat being in charge right now, Nodabu has shut down all communication with them. However, the Mage of the Court, Theana, still keeps on constant contact with New Torrea. [*][h3]Hoskaros:[/h3] The biggest country of the other three, they are the biggest military force in the continent. They operate through a council, much like Milokis. Their buildings are like those of middle age Russia (If that makes sense xD). They don't hold any communication with any other country, but with Nijiara in order to get food. The Mage of the Court, Gnash, handles all of their political affairs, and also seems to be quite a racist man, hailing from the same country he is now serving in. [/list] [Center][h2]The Magic[/h2][/center] Magic here is quite simple. You study magic and specialize in some kind of field, where you are able to achieve great things, but this also closes your probabilities of casting other magic in large scale, however, you can still cast little thingies like flames for cooking or things of the like. Of course, you can study something else, but that will be harsher on your body. Example, if you study necromancy, then you can cook something with pretty little flames, but can't shoot big-ass fireballs, and you also get to resurrect the death! Yay~ [h2][/h2] [CENTER][h3]The Rules![/h3][/CENTER] [list] [*]No Godmodding, metagaming, or otherwise. Please! [*]No Mary Sue, Gary Stu, etc... Leave some room for development! [*]You can have as much characters as you want, but heads will start rolling after I see some of you not being able to control all of them. [*]No flame wars in OOC! Pretty please! [*]If you really have a problem with someone, take it to PM's! [*]In any case, if things get out of hand, my word is final. [*]You cannot kill other people's characters without permission! First, talk with the owner of the character, then bring it to me and we'll see what we can do. [*]Keep everything PG-13. What happens after kissing and hugging, please, keep it to yourself or go to the PM's. [*]No speed posting, please wait for one or two people to post before you post again. [*]Post your CS in the Int Check, please, we don't want this to become flooded.

Please specify what their magic can do. Since I don't want to overcomplicate this, mages are able to do many little magic thingies, but can only do big thingies of what they specialize in.
