Humans are a vile breed of creatures; any “mythical”, as the humans have dubbed them, will tell you that. They are selfish, always thinking of only themselves and their own. They are greedy, always hoarding more and more for themselves instead of giving it to those in need. They are territorial, chasing off anything that they feel do not belong in the places that they feel belong to them. And as if all that selfishness was not enough for the “mythicals” to hate them, the humans even brought a whole new concept to their lands; the concept of war.

Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years ago, humans came across the seas. Never before had any land-living creature ventured out that far into the terrifying seas, not knowing what was out there, if anything. The humans built ships; large, wooden structures that could float on the water even when the stroms caused the waves to get tall as the trees. Only a small portion of humans came, but they came with an idea of a world far different from the one already there. They came with armors and weapons. They tore trees down and built structures instead. They killed peaceful creatures because they were different from them.
It was not long before the creatures that had once inhabitated the areas where the humans settled, had to flee. The humans made their way of life impossible. They even attempted to teach them their way of living, telling them that their way was the right way. They crushed their caves and used the stone to build houses. They felled their forests and used to wood to build huts. They tore up their gardens and spread gravel instead.
But as it turned out, fleeing helped little. The humans were curious creatures and spread out all over the lands, making settlements whereever they felt like. Whether it was in the middle of an nymph clearing or under an elven treehouse, the would simply destroy any and all life around them, whether it was by the means of their weapon or by felling their homes and foods.
As if it was not bad enough that the humans were now spread out all over, it turned out that they were quite reproductive, as well. It was only a hundred years or so before there were more humans that there were creatures of any of the original kinds. Their settlements grew to villages. Some of those villages grew to towns and some of those towns grew to cities. The creatures that had once called these lands home, now lived mostly in hiding, fearing the shimmering blades of the humans.

As it turned out, humans are herd creatures. Without a leader, they run amuck. So, a leader rose for them. In one of the cities, a man claimed himself a King and had a castle build in his honor. He named some of the other humans as Lords, Ladies and other fancy titles, such as Duke, Count or Baron.
For a little while, the humans were peaceful.
Another human, in another city, then decided to appoint himself King as well. He named his Dukes and Barons as well and a divide was made. The two cities were now capitals of each their country and as they were about to find out, humans rage war.

War has been raging between the two countries for what seems like eternities. No one remembers why it even started or why they keep fighting, but neither intends to admit defeat. The “mythicals” are spread out all over the land; some hiding from the humans and living in peace with nature, some in villages or towns of their own and some in human cities and towns. Some abide by the ways of the humans and some of the old ways of their kind. Some have even mated with the humans, creating mixed breeds and magis.
Lately, over the past few years, a rumor has been buzzing around of a creature so strong that it could end all wars forever. A creature that could ground the Great Cities like a small plant. Sadly, no one seems to know what this creature is or where.

So... I am horrible at the whole fleshing out idea bit of GMing. It's fine. You can tell me :-P

[hider=Actually Important Ranting]
Anyways, I am looking for dedicated roleplayers who can write at least a couple of paragraphs, has the decency to spell- and grammar-check their posts before posting them and doesn't mind that their might be a bit of a lull at some points due to IRL stuff and such.

I want this to be High Fantasy with Fireball-throwing Mages, bow-slinging Elves, axe-wielding Dwarves, Knights in shining armor and the whole shebang. 
I'm picturing vile beasts roaming the wilderness and, well, wilderness that can eat you. I want people to get really creative with animals and vegetation. 
I'm not gonna complain about seven feet tall, acid-drooling dog-rabbit hybrids with front paws the size of a normal person's torso and jaws like a crocodile. Or a plant that will cause yellow spots all over and kill you in slow and painful way; or one that can cure this.
I want some real creative roleplayers ^^

And, uhh, I'm honestly known to be a bit bitchy at times, but that's because I'm a great fan of detail. Even though I want everyone to be creative and all that, I would still appriciate some realism. Stuff like why the acid-drooling dog-rabbit hybrid does't burn itself.
I don't want you to be childish about it. I won't mind if you discuss things with me, like whether or not the acid-drool is actually acidic or if it's just poisonous to human skin and causes it to melt or something like that, but I don't want any “well, if it can't be my way, I'll just leave”... 'cause then I can gladly slam the metaphorical door in your face. 
I'm not “rude”. I'm honest.

With that said, I actually do have some humor, though my sense of humor is quite special. I would blame the fact that I am danish, but even danes think I'm weird.
Like everyone else, I find it funny if people fall over; as long as they don't get hurt. I find nudity funny. I even find the taboos funny, sometimes. I don't mind a dirty joke or a “a jew walks into a bar” sort of thing, but we should respect each other.
[/hider]

Also, I rant a lot... Ahem...

Character Skeleton for you, in case you want to start working on your character right away, even though this might never lift of due to... well, pretty much anything from too little interest to nobody following from IntChk to OOC... You know what I mean.
Also, more might be added. Alright, it most likely will. Okay fine, it will for sure.

[hider=Character Skeleton]
(All things in one of these (parantheses) must be removed)
(There is no such thing as writing too much, even if you feel the need to write a detailed story of the origins of the name you choose for your character. As long as you feel the need for it, it needs to be there. Just... put all things too long in a hider. You're welcome to add new “tabs” as well.)
