It's students gone, it's halls empty, stands alone, a broken memory of times now gone. It has been 5 years since we left the heroes of Athalia Academy and many of it's students have either died or fled to hide from Marcus Cross who has taken over the school grounds. 5 years ago, Marcus Cross sent his army to Athalia Academy, his attempt to squash it. However, Maria and her students were ready for him, at least they thought they were. Though they fought valiantly, Marcus triumphed as he sent a large ball of energy toward the main building, killing a majority of the students held inside of it. Since then, Maria and the few students left in her care have fled the country of Elaniel to seek refuge in Oasari, Maria having an old friend there. Marcus, for whatever reason refuses to attempt a take over on Oasari and thus Maria has chosen it as their base of operations. Marcus, now under control of every other nation, excluding Xiuhcoatl, the dragon nation. Brako had been sent ahead of them to seek out the other dragons help while the small band of students and Maria must find a way to get to Xiuhcoatl without being arrested. Little do they know that as Brako nears Xiuhcoatl, he can feel the weak pulses of the dragons. Something is happening to them, what is Marcus doing to them and how can they help the dragons? Before they can ask for help, they must help the dragons regain their strength and get past this cursed that has been lain upon them. [hr] Yes, yes. My friends! It is time again for Athalia Academy to resurface with a new name! 'Legends of Lavanya' This does not mean that Athalia Academy is gone forever, however, as it can still exist if the characters build it back up again. But for the sake of the RP, the name has been changed to suit it's contents. Athalia is an RP and idea near and dear to my heart and I'd like to see it flourish once again. Please, please be kind to it. :3 [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/47731-101-guides-writing-posts-that-are-useful/ooc#]A Useful Link[/url] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/15176-five-steps-to-make-a-perfectly-solid-character/ooc#] Another Useful Link[/url] [hider=Rules] 1) Save the drama for your mamma. Drama should be dealt with in PM, not in the OOC. Drama in IC, however, is perfectly fine so long as it does not bleed over into the OOC as drama between RPers. 2) GM and co-GM reserve the rights to kick players out of RP for reasons they deem... well... reasonable. These could include disrespect, lack of posting for extended periods of time, or other various malconducts. 3) This RP is posted in Casual. There is a three line minimum and grammar is expected to at least be legible. Please try to proof-read to make sure your posts are making sense. 4) The minimum posting schedule should be one post a week. More is fine so long as it does not leave other players behind. (A loose posting rule may be put into place should it become a problem.) 5) One 'On-Screen' Character and a plethora of 'off-screen' characters allowed. Please consider your limits, the wellbeing of the RP, and if you have questions feel free to either PM the GM or co-GM. (There are exceptions. If you cannot avoid having more than one character on-screen at a time, please try to make it brief and only as needed. The GM and co-GM may contact you if it becomes an issue.) 6) Please make sure that if you have plans that they are run by either the GM or co-GM before implementation. That goes for changed character background, plot ideas, etc. 7) Follow basic RPG rules, if you are unfamiliar to them, please PM me. I will get on to you for breaking these rules so make sure you know them well. 8) The GM and co-GM reserve the right to change these rules anytime they see fit. 9) Please, Please always keep the best interest of the RP in mind. That means being mindful of how what your character does affects the RP and the world and whether or not to do said action. Just... be mindful. 10) If you've read the rules, please tell us who your favorite video game/anime/manga/TV show Character is! 11) Have fun! :3 [/hider] [hider=Character Sheet] Please try to keep the basic formatting. If you want to spice it up, feel free but I like the CSs to be clean and readable. If you need the raw, there's a link for that up on the right hand side of the post. PM me if you have problems.

And it has always been known as a magic heavy area. It's where most of the magic nations were centralized. However, during the time of the Salem Witch Trials, a certain Mage, the Originator as he is called, was tired of the persecutions and began working on a plan. This plan was called, "Project Odyssey." In this, a team of mages formed together to create a mana pool large enough to sustain the spell they were trying to pull off, the creation of a pocket dimension. It formed around Lavanya and closed off the continent and it's surrounding islands to the rest of the world. Then, the Originator, using a good chuck of his mana or energy pool, erased Lavanya from the history books and soon it became a mere legend. Travel from Lavanya to the 'mortal'/'human' side is more restricted, though it always has been this way. In order to leave Lavanya, one must obtain a passport with the key to open the portal to the other side (they pop out in the Pacific). They have to go through pretty rigorous training to ensure that they will not reveal anything to the humans. There are also some humans that do come to Lavanya but most of them are brought by Lavanya Citizens and sworn to secrecy. No one has heard from the Originator since and he is assumed to have passed away, but this is still under debate. [/hider] [h3]Upcoming Updates[/h3] [list] [*] Map of Lavanya [*] History of Lavanya [*] Nation List + Lore [*] Upcoming Mini-Plot Arcs [/list] [b]Note:[/b] ALL veterans will be allowed back to the RP. This does not mean to discourage new players from joining, it just simply allows for those players who already had a place here to continue to do so. New people are still welcome. I will announce a cut-off when I deem necessary.
