[i]"When the broken wing beats, the storm grows stronger."[/i] [b][u]Premise[/u][/b] You, all play as the Birdfolk, a fantasy race of birdlike humanoids who have their own world known as Volata. An almost endless seeming stretch of floating islands, it seems like the perfect home for them, providing all they need, with ample amounts of wind to carry one as far as they could possibly imagine. Just don't get caught in a storm, else you'll be falling to the clouds below, to your certain demise... The skies of Volata are ample for adventure and exploration, especially for those daring to go against the well-traveled winds towards islands left unscathed by the talon of civilization, holding secrets and magic within for those who seek it. [b][u]Plot[/u][/b] You all share the origin of the sleepy island of Vetila, where things are beginning to spell danger for its avians. Stargazers and village elders sense a bad omen is afoot...yet even with their cryptic ramblings, it's not exactly clear as to what could be coming, only something that could be devastating. As an unlikely flock, you must form together to seek answers to these concerns, adventuring all across birdfolk civilization and beyond, slowly unfurling something much more...and possibly horrible. But, don't get your feathers too ruffled! Much to gain, much to learn along the way! Those thermals are quite nice around this time of year as well. [b][u]Lore[/u][/b] Much of the true history of the Birdfolk has been lost to time, or became legends at the back of old, forgotten books or bedtime stories for hatchlings. Their origin, even, is debated over different gods and spirits, worshiped in different islands. Currently, the Birdfolk live on the islands as peacefully as they can, either as nomads or sedentary to their homes, where Birdfolk civilization resides. Many different Kingdoms, States and Republics span across the sky, where within sit diverse cultures, usually based around the species of the birdfolk, or rather the large collection of them. While feuding and war remains a given for them all, a larger threat exists in the forms of many flying monsters that fill the skies of Volata, flying from storms or beyond the clouds below. The diverse set of aerial behemoths follow with death and destruction, stopped only by those bold enough to fly into battle with them. Feel free to ask any questions. I've had this idea in mind for a while, this is a bit of the simplified version. I'm debating between a small group and a large group, mostly since I plan for the characters of this RP to be a ragtag flying squadron. Thanks!
