You're walking down the street looking for a change in life, whether it's because you're tired of being judged for your magic or maybe you feel 
like you need to step up and smack down these corrupt mages, you find two posters created by rivaling factions.

Both posters detail how to find your way to the town that both factions call home. So it appears you have found two very distinct organizations and a new place to go. As to why you go and what faction you end up joining is your story to tell in time.


[center][h2]Introduction[/h2][/center]
Hello, this is an idea that me and my friend have been working on for awhile. If this takes off like I hope it does then it will be my first time being a GM. Not to worry though, my friend who will be Co-GMing has done this a few times, so I'm sure it will run smoothly. This roleplay should be very fun and I hope you can tell your friends and we will all have a lot of fun! If you like this please comment and ask questions, me or my Co-GM will reply as fast as we can. 
(Co-Gm here, Name's Kronshi. I'll be supplying details inside of these parentheses)

[hider=Skill System]
Okay so for our skill system we will give new characters 3 points to put into skills of their choice. This is [b]NOT[/b] a table top game we just want to have an effective limiting system because some players will take things too far. What you will do is while making your character, you will put points beside the skills.
EXAMPLE: Fire Magic = 1 

[Hider=Physical Skills]
Slashing: This affects weapons such as Swords, Axes, and Kamas. Your average knightly weapons will fall here.
(This increases your capabilities with slashing weapons like the ones listed above.)

Piercing: This will deal with weapons such as Spears, Daggers, Rapier. Your typical rogue weapons or people ripper throughers will be here.
(This increases your capabilities with piercing weapons.)

Bludgeoning: This will affect weapons such as Hammers, Maces, and Clubs. You ever wanna smash someone to a bloody powder? Then put skill points here.
(You get it by now, yeah?.)

Two Handed: This will affect your big weapons such as Great Swords, Pole-arms, And War-Hammers.
(This allows you to wield two-handed versions of the weapons listed above.)

Unarmed: You ever want to kill a man with your bare fist? Well now you can!
(This allows you to fight bare-handed as hard as someone with a sword would.)

Archery: You ever wanna kill a man and leave something in his head his family will never forget? Ta-Da!
(This increases your capabilities with ranged weapons such as bows.)

Throwing: You ever wanna throw your knife in between someone's eyes because they are rude??? Do it.
(This increases your capabilities with throwing weapons.)

Shield: You ever wanna get in someone's face and give them a concussion? Say no more!
(This allows you to use a shield as well as increases how well you use them. 1 rank for light shields, 2 for heavy shields, and 3 for tower shields.)

Armor: You wanna not have to dodge everything? Then look here!
(This allows you to move in armor without penalty. 1 rank for light armor such as leather, 2 for medium such as chain, and 3 for heavy such as plate.)

Stealth: Ever want to sleep with some man's wife and live? Put points here!
(This increases your abilities in being silent and staying hidden from view.)

Trapping: You ever wanna set a trap and go ham on some poor man's leg?
(This allows you to create traps to surprise your foes. Better ranks equal more complex traps.)

Beast-Taming: Your dog a bad ass? Yeah he is.
(This allows you to train animal companions for battle.)
[/hider]

[hider=Magical Skills]
Light Magic: You an eye doctor wanting to make some side money? Blind your friend and foes alike.
(This allows you to use light to blind, heal, and manipulate.)

Shadow Magic: Ever want to sleep with a mans wife and get caught, but play hide and seek?
(This allows you to use shadows to hide and form illusions.)

Fire Magic: Ever want to roast your enemy like I roast marshmallows? #HINT# I burn them and throw flaming marshmallows at peoples roofs.
(This allows you to use fire for obvious reasons.) 

Water Magic: Ever want to drown a man a mile away from the lake?
(This allows you to use water in the same way as fire plus some healing.)

Earth Magic: You ever want to literally break a man? No more needed here.
(Just like fire but with more umph.)

Air Magic: Ever want to make a mans dream of flying come true you upstanding citizen you.
(This allows you to use air in the same way as water)

Blood Magic: You ever want to cut yourself to cut everybody else?
(This allows you to use spilled blood, including your own, to form weapons, shields, and any other solid object that you would waste blood for.)

Animal Magic: Is your dog a bad ass? Yeah. Are you also a bad ass?
(This allows you to take on the form of animals, gain their abilities, summon swarms, and use suggestion to try and make animals do your bidding.)

Ice Magic: Ever want to kill a man by saying "chill out"?
(Like water but frozen. It can still heal if you want it too.)

Metal Magic: Ever want to take penetrate to the next level?
(Similar to earth but less moldable although sharper)

Lightning Magic: Snap Crackle POP Fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
(What he said.)

Nature Magic: Ever vine whip a man to submission?
(This allows you to control plants in order to whip a man into submission)

As you put ranks into a magical skill, you will gain spells tied to that element. You are allowed to create your own spells and effects written like the example below. Yes, we will have a mana system so that your mage does not go around slinging fireballs at everyone who stares at him funny. You do not create the mana cost, me or my Co-GM will tell you the cost because once again No Fireballs at random strangers you murderer you.
[Center]Fireball (Lvl: 1)
I conjure a ball of fire at my target
Mana cost- ???
[/center]
Below is a template that will explain how many spells of each level that you will have based of your ranks, if you put ranks in multiple magical skills than you gain spells from each one.
[hider=Spell Rank Template]
Rank 1:
-One Level 1 Spell
Rank 2:
-Two Level 1 Spells
Rank 3:
-Two Level 1 Spells
-One Level 2 Spell
[/hider]
[hider=Aspect-Less]
Aspect-less are mages that have no elemental ties. They have no strengths but also no weaknesses. Aspect-less must put all of their ranks into being an Aspect-less since their magic is always growing and any straying off the path will lead to their magic overwhelming them and eventually killing them.
