[h1]The Downfall of Velorio[/h1] When does a war occur? To know this, we have to look at war itself. War is defined as 'a state of armed conflict between different groups within a nation or state.' Interesting. In this case, our two groups are the Rebels and the Parliament. They are conflicted about which ways to rule. Our nation? Velorio. The beaming flying city. Every citizen is a brilliant person, many inventors or businessmen and businesswomen. Many a people have joined one side or the other, and while no battles have occurred, everyone is able to know that they will occur soon. So, what side will you join? When will you start the fight? What do you stand for? And more importantly, are you ready? [hider=Parliament] The original government of Velorio. Considered to be 'corrupt' by the rebels. They still control the upper and middle districts of Velorio, though they have lost the poor districts to the Rebel's protests. They all are dressed in the finest cloths, and often brag about their wealth and money, though a handful is more sensible. Their members have a branded tattoo on their arm, in the shape of an owl. They have a small army, called the Enforcers.

They stand against the Parliament, and claim that the people should rule. They, of course, have evidence, considering most have been wrongfully convicted, but they brought it upon themselves. They demand that taxes be withdrew. The poor favor them, because of their courage to stand up against the rich. Their numbers are bigger then the Parliament, but then again, the Parliament have an ally. The Rebels have no distinguishing marks, so there is no way to know if they have joined. [/hider] [hider=Velorio] Founded by some of the most brilliant men and women in all of the four realms, Velorio is often acclaimed by all sides for its brilliance. Even the poor are intelligent. Of course, not everyone is equal. In this world, intelligence is valued more than brawn or strength, though there are some who are both. Some children play together by doing puzzles.

While I won't seriously harm or kill your characters without consent, you can't be freaking invincible to any attack. 2. Ok, please, if some romance gets above PG-13, take it to the PMs, or fade to black. 3. It's allowed to curse like a sailor. I have no problem whatsoever. 4. No characters below, let's say...10. I don't want any four-year-olds to be taking part in a war. 5. Don't make your character find whatever they need to win the fight. Example: Gary found a pile of muskets and fired at the dragon. It dropped a magical sword that couldn't break. If you really need me to, I'll determine what they find. 6. No arguing in the OOC. And if you get mad at someone, don't take it out on their character.
