[i]In the beginning, only the afterlife existed. Gods and Goddesses lived with each other in harmony. It was paradise. However, it got dull. Boring. Eons of time passed. The gods decided to build a new world in a blank canvas which has been availible to them for ages. One for peace. Harmony. A sandbox for them to design. They sculpted every mountain, lake, and cloud with care. In their image, they placed a being to inhabit the land. Titans. Titans are much like us, only they are suited to their element and tower at 200 feet. The gods gave them powers, much like them, and made certain areas of the world for them. Their elements. Mountains for the frost titans, the forest for the earth titans, fire for the fire titans, and everything else. The gods called this land Aion. For a while, the gods could walk into Aion and the titans could walk into the afterlife. Little did they know, while they were creating the titans, they made a grave mistake. The abilities that they have, to form the world, to gain omnipotence was too much. They staged an uprising. They fought with the gods for who rules the lands. In a last ditch attempt, the gods entrapped the titans in a world of limbo using a tablet known as the Templ'r. Gods cannot create new dimensions without it. They started over. They began to create new races, less powerful ones. They let them live there. In fear of what has happened before, the gods left them with tablets that tell the tales and sealed off this world from there's forever. The races lived in harmony for a while. In one large kingdom, they flourished. Until The War for Peace. During this war, the races began dividing. Different ideas. Some races were blamed for things that were false. They separated kingdoms and moved out to different areas in the world. A council was created of every being that meets in a tower. Many, many, many years later.. the tablet is broken. The titans are released back into our world, albeit some horribly deformed, mutated, and powerful. With them corruption comes. Beasts turn more aggressive than usual, beasts which only come out at night are now our everywhere. Certain things get mutated or destroyed. This is where you come in. Slightly before the creatures, you begin hearing voices. An urge tells you to go somewhere deep in the forest. Soon enough you can't ignore it and set out. Meeting there with a few other people, you learn that a tablet has been destroyed. You must gather key pieces of the tablet and send the titans out. Complete the gods' work.

They have huge castles which are surrounded by an even larger kingdom. Humans are best known for taming all sorts of beasts, from horses to dragons and even sea serpents. They have the natural ability for wanting to explore. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Dwarves] [img]http://pre08.deviantart.net/6af5/th/pre/i/2006/127/b/e/dwarf_by_shonensan.jpg[/img] The Dwarves live in mines by the northern mountains. They are best at creating weapons and brewing alchol. Dwarves are, well, dwarves. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Giants] [img]http://orig13.deviantart.net/50a7/f/2013/020/3/f/guardian_of_the_stairway_to_heaven_by_m_hugo-d5s52wd.jpg[/img] Giants are huge, aggressive, dangerous people. They pride themselves on war. They keep dragons for pets. The height of giants varies wildly, the shortest being 15 feet tall and the absolute tallest being about 50. They live in the cold, northern mountains where they transform caves into warm homes. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=The Ursine] [img]http://media.schadenfreude.net/2009/04/nornmalebear.jpg[/img] The Ursine are bear-like warmongers that live deep in the forest. They believe that normal bears are just feral Ursine, and sometimes attempt to communicate with them. Ursine are not stupid, though, and rather intelligent, Planning out effective combat staretegies quickly. The Ursine are even more dangerous than giants. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Elves] [img]http://pre04.deviantart.net/09bf/th/pre/i/2011/246/1/c/dark_elf_by_butjok-d48sq6u.jpg[/img] The elves live in the hills. Large hills, which are almost like mountains. They live inside of the giant hills. They stand at about 7' on average. They are an extremely developed and civilized race. They are the most intelligent of all of the races. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Crustaceans] [img]http://pre12.deviantart.net/3870/th/pre/f/2012/051/0/d/crustacean_soldiers___undressed_by_freakyfir-d4qear8.jpg[/img] Crustaceans look like, well, crustaceans. From crabs to lobsters to shrimp, crustaceans live by the western coast. They keep normal crustaceans as pets. Possibly the strangest race yet. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Gargoyles] [img]https://s.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/01/garg.jpg[/img] Gargoyles are the most aggressive race and live by an active volcanic island. Although they can fly, they aren't very intelligent and are barbaric. Think orcs. But not orcs. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=The Naga] [img]http://orig09.deviantart.net/a26c/f/2013/328/c/9/naga_by_anastasiareddress-d6vigl1.jpg[/img] The Naga live in the southern swamps. The kingdom which they live in is a remodeled Titan fortress. They're basically humans from the waist up and snake from the waist down. Their kingdom is half-submerged in the water which they've grown accustomed to. They have a deadly venom which paralyzes and kills their prey. [/hider][/center] [center]---[/center] [center][hider=Certain Things That You Need To Know] Magic in this world is rare and not everybody studies it. The people that do often have a hard time controlling it. You can have a mage character but they won't be good right away in the RP, just to warn you. It will be a very slow progression. Different races have likely never met before and if they have, it was in a time of war. Creatures from both Greek and European mythology exist in this world. If you wish to be a vampire or werewolf, message me so we can sort it out. Although I put the general personality of the races there, not all of them are like that, per say.
