Hello people, and welcome to Essence. It's an ongoing RP universe with one complete and two ongoing seasons, for one of which we're currently looking for a few new players. 

What is Essence? Essence is the fabric of this fictional world. It's the life-force of everything. It exists in animate and inanimate objects alike. It's the fuel for magic, and the host of the soul that gives everyone an individuality. It's also the shortened name for our RP/world.

It's mostly based in our world, the location is somewhere in Western Europe, the country has no name but the city does- Loom. The year is 2035 but technology is only slightly more advanced than the one we have now. 

However, what is different is the populace. The world of Essence is inhabited by angels, demons, humans and chimeras (any mixture of the above). Those have nothing to do with your typical biblical characters, they merely share the name. None of them are abnormal either, although currently angels are near-extinct and chimeras are new and rare. The basics of the world you can find [url=http://essence-of-the-world.weebly.com/]here[/url]. An extended version, but not one we'll necessarily stick to, is [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/78099-the-loremasters-tome/ooc]this[/url]. Please read the info on the first link as it's going to be important to how you play your characters. The second one gives you additional information and is thus optional. 

Now, there are a few differences to the site as well. The basis of the world we play Mending in can be found on the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/74885-essence-of-the-world-the-mending/ooc#post-2309433]ooc[/url]. In the most simplest terms, you're going to play students in a magical academy teaching you how to keep the peace in a post-war world. To do that you're using shards of the “Essence of the World”, a creature created by combining the remains of the original 3 races. After the war said creature (named Hazumi) shared her powers with humankind and now you students of her, taking on the shapes of weapons or musical instruments. 

It's also largely a sandbox-type RP and although we have missions and overarching plots, we do rely on player initiative to create sub-plots, brainstorm about relations and bring in new aspects of the world. 

It's not a first come-first serve type of RP. Depending on the effort you put in your CS I'll tell you if this is, in my opinion, the right RP for you. We're all very devoted and have pretty high standards for the content of what we're writing. If you have any questions, feel free to pose them here. Same goes for CS-es, which you're welcome to post straight to the Interest Check for evaluation.
