[i]What do you desire? Money? Glory? Power? Revenge? Or something that surpasses all others? Whatever you desire - that is here. The Tower of God. [/i] [u][b]Setting[/b][/u] [hider=The Tower] The Tower: The 134 floor tower is the world of the RP, so large that its nearly impossible to put in scale, just one floor being the size of US continent. The tower is split into 3 sections: Outer tower, Middle Area, Inner Tower. Outer Tower- The area where inhabitants of the tower are born in, the residential area of the Tower, most of them live on the same floor for their entire live. Middle Area- The residential area of those climbing the tower, which are known as Regulars. Inner Tower- The area where Regulars climb the tower, to ascend a floor, one must take a test to detemine whether one is worthy of getting to the next floor. Headon teleports people who seems worthy from the Outer Tower to 2F, the floor of tests. [/hider] Some terms to know [hider=Regulars,Rankers,Irregulars] Regular- Inhabitants of the Tower who are selected by Headon to climb the Tower. To ascend each floor, they have to pass a series of tests. From the start, they are teleported by Headon from the Outer Tower to the 2nd Floor, the Floor of Tests. Irregular- People who have entered the Inner Tower without being chosen by Headon, and that act goes "against the Tower's Laws". Due to powerful Irregulars like Urek Mazino or Enryu, they are seen as a symbol of fear. Rankers- People who have reached the Top of the Tower and attained a rank. One or two, out of 10 million regulars, become a Ranker. Thus, they're so strong that they're seen and considered as 'gods'. [/hider] [hider=Shinsoo] [u][b]Manipulating Shinsoo[/b][/u] Basically its the magic system of this setting. Regulars are expected to be able to use the basics (Enhancing their attacks/movements, etc) , but Wave Controllers specializes in manipulating Shinsoo. Shinsoo is measured in Baangs (or Rooms), if you can control 2 Baangs, you can cast 2 different type of spells at the same time (like casting fire & water magic simulteneously, even though its difficult). However, Wave Controllers at 2F can control only 1-2 Baangs. Rankers can control dozens of Baangs of Shinsoo. [b][u]More Detailed info about Shinsoo[/u][/b] Shinsoo exists everywhere in the Tower, and inhabitants of the Tower live & breathe in Shinsoo. In lower concentrations, it acts like a gas; In higher concentrations it acts like a liquid. Shinheuh are creatures in the Tower that live and depend on Shinsoo. Shinsoo Resistance is an ability which allows one to resist a certain density or viscosity of Shinsoo. The higher shinsoo Resistance, the less one would be affected by high concentrations of Shinsoo. (Something like Magic Resist) [/hider] [hider=Positions] There are five basic positions in a common team. Fisherman - The main offence of the battle, Fishermen are to dash into the heart of the enemy force and decimate their forces, usually through physical attacks. Spear Bearer - Spear Bearers act like snipers for the team, throwing their spears with deadly accuracy, but they can also serve a purpose similar to the Fisherman's by using their spear like a staff for close-combat. Technically speaking, they take all long-range matters into their own hands. Scout - Scouts will usually run ahead and investigate enemy forces for info, then return and deliver the information to the Light Bearers. They also help the Fishermen with offence. Light Bearer - Light Bearers store and deliver knowledge to their team-mates while guiding them with the light of their Lighthouse, acting as Strategist/support for the team. Wave Controller - Wave Controllers are the directors of the battle, aiding their comrades by healing their wounds, annihilating enemy forces or subtly changing the tide of the battle, all through the use of Shinsoo. There are many variations of this Position. They're like mage or something~ [/hider] [hider=Items] Pocket- Devices that provide a variety of functions that aid Regulars and Rankers in the Tower. It enables the wearer to understand different languages spoken in the Tower, and allows Regulars to make contracts with a Guardian. Other than those, it has functions akin to a handphone. Needle - Rapier-like weapon that is generally used for piercing and stabbing. It is one of the most common weapons in the Tower. Due to the high viscosity of shinsoo, Needles are more favored than swords. They're commonly used by Fisherman and Scouts. Observer - A device used by Scouts to collect visual data and pass the information to both Light Bearer and the Scouts themselves. It is also able to illuminate the darkness. Spears - Weapons used by Spear Bearers. There are generally two kind of spears: the ones used for stabbing and the ones used for long range throwing. Lighthouse - "The Lighthouse is the centre of all your battles. All information is gathered and all commands are given from here." , A lighthouse is like a computer, which acts as a command centre of the team. A lighthouse can form smaller cubes which gives Light and communication amongst teammates (Most battles occur in the darkness). [/hider] [u][b]Nobles & Royalty[/b][/u] [b]Ten Great Families[/b]- The Ten Great Families are direct descendants of the 10 Great Warriors who first came into the Tower with Zahard. They have a strong influence in the Tower, be it monetary or political (Most of the floors are ruled by the Ten Families). They're considered the Nobles of the Tower [hider=Ten Families List] Arie Family - The Arie family is headed by Arie Hon. Arie Hon stays at the 100th Floor of the Tower as the head of Arie family and his territory is the largest of the 10 Great Families. This family is also famous for its prowess in swordsmanship. Koon Family - This family is headed by Koon Eduan. Koon Eduan has the greatest number of wives and second-greatest number of children out of the 10 Families. There is a lot of veiled competition among his children and too much competition has created the 'official' fights, held once a year, after which the winners are decided to be his true children and the losers are abandoned. This family is famous for its cunning intelligence. Ha Family - This family is one of the 10 Great Families, it is led by Ha Yurin. The well-known Princess and High Ranker, Ha Yuri Zahard, comes from this family. They are known for their enormous strength. Bidau Family - The Bidau Family is headed by Po Bidau Gustang. This family is famous for its Research Association. Eurasia Family - This family is well-known for their ability to manipulate Shinsoo and for producing the strongest Princess of Zahard to date, Eurasia Enne Zahard. This family is led by Eurasia Blossom. Tu Perie Family - This family is led by Tu Perie Tperie. This family is known for Light Bearing. Ari Family - This family is led by Ari Han (not to be mistaken for Arie Hon). Yeon Family - This family is led by Yeon Hana. None of the 'descendents' of this family actually possess Hana's blood, as Hana is a virgin. All descendents are actually the children of Ilarde, known as the 'godmother.' This family is known for its female members' tendency to look down on men. Hendo Family - This family is led by Hendo Lok Bloodmadder. All members of this family except Bloodmadder have short lifespans due to a pact that Bloodmadder made with a Guardian in exchange for eternal life. However, this family has the greatest number of children out of the 10 Families. This family has the fewest Rankers and the least influence in the Tower among the 10 Great Families. [/hider] [b]Zahard Princess[/b] The Princesses are a sect of elite females chosen to serve Zahard, as the obligation for receiving his grand power. They are the "ultimate species" and a Princess is chosen every several hundred years. "They are an existence which, at times, serves as a sword to defend the authority of the King and at other times, is worshipped by the citizens of the Tower". The Princesses (informal and formal) are governed by a set of Rules: 1)They must not have a relationship with a man. 2)They must not marry. 3)They may not have a child. 4)They must not help an enemy of the Empire. They are considered 'adopted childrens', as none of them possesses Zahard's blood. Despite so, the Zahard family is considered the strongest family.
