[@Tancuras]: Can't call dibs! Anything could happen. :hehe I'll take care of assigning essences in the background. The idea is that characters have no clue about the world that the magically enabled live in. At some point, however, that's going to change. Fate sucks. [i]Edit:[/i] And let's be real here, letting characters learn things on their own is probably best for the development of the roleplay. I'd like to see what the characters want to learn and how the characters handle their new responsibilities. As they do so and the plot moves forward, I'm going to update the lore with new information. Open world? Open world.
