Background Information
Once, the world was united through fear.
Before the Great Shattering, a cataclysmic event that changed the face of the world as it was known, the known world had been a slave to unholy masters. Malefic beings held humanity in servitude, treating humans like cattle for their own personal use. The creatures that went bump in the night ruled fiercely, leaving the world dreary and hopeless. There were no legendary heroes during the Long Night; only the misery of a terrible fate that awaited the unlucky.
After all, who could stop the eternal chaos? Who among humanity could bring an end to their plight?
Humanity seemed content, knowing they had no power to hold against their accursed rulers. Their masters' greed, on the other hand, could never be satiated. They had always desired power and strength, even if it meant disrupting the balance of the world. Foolishly tapping into the lifeblood of the planet, the destructive power they sought to wield created an imbalance of magic, and roused the world from its lengthy slumber wounded and scarred.
Seas roared in pain, and the earth bled fire. Even the very skies cried out, lashing from the clouds with vicious anger. But even as chaos gave way to death and destruction, it, too, would give to a blessing—the Age of Heroes had begun.

Roleplay Information
You are an early twenty-something (around 18-22) villager from the tropical island of Pelae, the capital of the island chain ruled by Egokko the Storm Lord. Recently, his soldiers have been increasing their activity and ripping ordinary citizens from their homes and family, who vanish without a trace. Though there is little anyone can do in protest, everything is about to change for you upon the seemingly insignificant throwing of a Xaxisan peach.
Will it be fireballs shooting forth from your hands? The freezing breath of the sky blowing from your mouth? Or perhaps the stalwart strength of the earth keeping you on your feet? The world decides; time will tell.

Out of Character Information
Welcome to Bleeding Earth, Soaring Dragons: Heaven Awaits. This is a very basic jump-in world mishmash of various influences from fantasy, wuxia and ancient civilizations. Mainly, though, this is more so me wanting to play something Exalted-like, but not be bogged down by the setting or the game's rule set.

This is a jump-in RP, which means you don't have to wait for my approval to post a character sheet in the CS tab.
