Q: First who is the QM, GM, DM, or whatever?
A: This thread was started by [@AcetheKidd], but I seem to have inadvertently hijacked it (I was just trying to give him ideas, I swear!). I'll be GM until AcetheKidd says otherwise.
Q: Second what kind of characters are allowed? Like limitations and such.
A: At the beginning, I'll only take human characters. The players may create NPCs of other races later on in the story.
Q: Third is there a timeline of some great war or something?
A: If we're using my lore, then yes, there is. The Void War was a brutal conflict that started when a portal in the sky opened from another dimension and let billions of Voidspawn into this world. Initially a spirit species whose only physical form was "fairy dust," they came to our world seeking bodies to possess in order to escape their crumbling world. Possession required kicking out the souls previously indwelling said bodies, resulting in the "death" of the previous owner. The resulting war nearly wiped out the human race were it not for the timely intervention of the twelve Guardians, several of whom were dragons. Caradras was one of them. The twelve Guardians kicked out the Voidspawn, sent them packing back to their crumbling homeworld, and closed the portal. Until the code is found that can destroy the portal for good, another Void War is always a possibility.

This war occurred a couple hundred years ago, and is still relatively fresh in the minds of the people.
