Hmm... Okay, so I'm going to spit out a bunch of questions, not all of which are about my present character ideas, but all of which I think are important for settling on a concept in a fantasy RP.

So:

1) So, humans only; I can dig that. Do we have fairly free reign over what nations of origin exist for our backstory? Are we allowed to play humans of different ethnicities?

2) So, magic is either imprecise but potent or precise but on a small scale, as far as player characters go. Are we limited to certain types of magic or nah? You mentioned illusions, healing and elemental in the interest check for instance; super summoning was outright said to be impossible without a lot of buddies to help out. Is there anything else we should think about if we consider magical characters? Also, is magic typically learned by focusing on a certain type (fire mage, illusionist, etc.)? I'm also guessing it's something that's taught rather than something you're born with.

3) How does the general public see mages? How do monster hunters and adventurers see mages? Are mages common on the road?

4) How badly do monsters plague the world? Are problems like the one faced in Temrin problems that villages around the world face, or is Temrin just a unique case of "oh crap"?

5) Curses. So, werewolves exist. Vampires exist. The occult exists. Hypothetically, then, are cursed characters - say, a berserker or someone whose appearance has been warped - also options? I doubt a monster would be allowed in a group of monster hunters, so I'm not even going to toss that into the ring.

6) Are we looking at a feudal setting with stark differences between the poor and wealthy? Are we looking at something a bit different?

7) Finally, what sort of period in history is this? Medieval technology? Renaissance? Dark Ages Europe? This is pretty important for me when considering what sort of equipment would be available to my character.

And I would like to reiterate: not all of these questions are related to what I want to play. However, in case my mind does some sort of spinny backwheely thing, they're all relevant to my character creation process.
