://The Crown of Eden...




When Apothos fell into ruin during the Eternal Eclipse, known civilization was swallowed whole by unimaginable horrors never seen before and fierce eldritch storms ruthlessly tore the planet apart. Before the scattered Cardinal Races would be annihilated, they created a massive vessel-city that would sail into the sky to avoid the destruction. It was risky to dare pass into the Ocean of Ashe, the violent tempestial mass that now overtook the skies, but it was the only chance they had. The ship was fitted with the strongest arcane barriers they could muster in a hurry, and the population departed only hours after for this desperate exodus. If only there was a happy tale to tell of this journey. The hull of the vessel-city was already breached in moments upon entering the swirling mass and countless were pulled into the sundering maw of the sky-ocean as the ship was ripped piece by piece. By the time they were able to escape the swirling jaws, only fragments of the massive vessel remained intact. The gigantic aircraft, once the size of an entire city, had been reduced to that of a shambling hamlet of shredded metal and wire. Anchoring high above the atmosphere, like a glimmering crown in the darkness, the survivors breathed a sigh now that their journey was finally over. For the moment, while bathed in the precious beams of light from the golden sun on the horizon, they were able to forget the violence and malice of the dying planet below.

But the survivors were soon made to face a grim reality. They suffered too many losses to infrastructure to continue their plans of settling smoothly in this new home. What was left of the ruling authority made a difficult decision. To preserve the power reserves of the damaged arcane-core, the inhabitants were all placed in a deep asleep to await the time when the apocalyptic storms settled. When the time comes, they must return to face their old sins, to reclaim their shattered world. 

Ages have long passed now and the first of these people have begun to awake, heeding their fateful call. But things are not what they expected. Will they be able to accept their new destiny?


Rules:
1. Basic RPG site rules apply.
2. My word is law on an outcome of an event, as this roleplay is meant to emphasize consequences and rewards based on actions. This is purely objective and by no means will I do something out of spite. I am willing to be reasoned with if you think something was unfair, but I do not tolerate whining or raging. ((So it can be on record now. There is no plot armor in this RP. I will give a few hints that what a character is doing may end up endangering them, but nothing more.))
3. Don't be a wanker.
4. Have fun.

After-Word:

Here's what I've got for you. I'm not sure if it's what you had in mind.

I'm really excited for this concept though, it's nice to find an RP with some depth to it.

That's perfect, short and simple. Go ahead and post it in the characters. I plan on taking a surplus right now since most RPs have a high drop-out rate as is, and I'm sure mine is no exception. I hope you stick around. :^)

You're accepted, post the sheet in the characters. I don't know how well I can incorporate his memory into the lore, but I'll try to work something in.

I want to ask, what sort of technology do we have present here? Since this is both sci-fi and fantasy I imagine that there is both magic and advanced technology am I correct?

The reason I ask is because I want to make a soldier here, but I need to know what equipment was common for a soldier to have.

Throw him in.

@Claw2k11

It was common for most of the races to employ melee weapons, since the Cardinal's powerful magic allowed for superhuman ability. It would just be more practical to use enchanted swords or something because they could just use magic to overcome more primitive arms like those of bullets. Most of the time, warriors were given weapons that simply amplified their abilities or magic. Humans were the only exception, being that they developed weaponry that utilized highly concentrated aether due to Alchemy. With their sprawling factories, they were able to mass-produce these devastating firearms. Their soldiers would be less specialized and trained, but they would be able to quickly replace lost units at an unmatched pace. The Imperial airships or war-machines were especially feared, which would be armed with arc-cannons or something of the sort. These large batteries discharged overwhelming amounts of aether capable of leveling an entire region with a single shot.

In short, you are correct, there are both types, but technology also relied on magic.

I hope that answers a bit of your question.

For one i'd like 'haste' as a magical option for spells. further down the line I was hoping for an anthromorphic transformation.

Much of the old magical knowledge has been lost in the destruction of the world. But there are ways to perhaps uncover some of the things you mentioned back. "Haste" is a relatively simple thing, so it wouldn't be the problem of knowing it, but being able to use it. Naturally, possessing magic and gaining more power is adjoined to growing the 'Soul' for the Cardinals. Most of the character have lost their touch to their magic, but will be given a chance to recover it. Quite early on, in fact. Though, in this roleplay, as I have stressed, everything has a consequence, even benefits are not always so clear. I have to warn, all magic leaves a lasting mark within a person because it relies on the push of darker emotions. Such as turning into a beast, would require someone to forgo their logical thoughts and embrace primal instinct.

Even for just a short while, they might not be able resist the call of the wild. And funny you should mention that, because there is actually a Cardinal race in the roleplay whom were shapeshifters.

@Light

Yeah, there is still room. I plan on accepting more than intended due to the fact that I know a large majority people will probably drop out around the beginning. It's just the nature of these things, so it's best to have a surplus. :^D
