I had an idea for a RP set in a medieval era with a fantasy twist. You know, dragons, vampires, zombies, demons, magic, inhuman abilities etc.

Let me present it in a simple way. I'm on my phone so I'll keep it short for now.

Two kings, two kingdoms, two big conflicts.
Humans vs. Orcs kinda thing. (WoW Alliance vs. Horde as an example.) Basically, 2 races being racist or whatever should be the reason to raze eachother's kingdom an wipe the population away. It could be fun with organized battles, ambushes on merchants and stuff.

What do you think? You can expand on the idea so we make something that is enjoyable by all of us.

EDIT: Added the shaped Story of the RP to the first page + CS. (3.2.2014)

The land was in harmony for many generations, with only slight conflicts between the two largest powers. These were the Kingdom of Armania and Razgar's Clan. Humans and Orcs never liked each other to begin with. The reason being was, that long ago, Orc ancestors invaded these lands and Humans kept them at bay. When the blood hungry old Orc Warchiefs passed away, the new ones tried to wage peace in exchange for land, for them to settle peacefully. The great king of that time agreed on such a request as the war has taken up a lot of resources and eventually lives of great men and women. Eventually, there was peace and harmony for ages to come. Until the Humans felt hungry for land and power. Not only that, but with the new king, there was a lot of racism propaganda going on. Orcs saw the same thing going on in their cities. They did, however, not lust for land. They knew that their past Warchiefs made mistakes on great scales, but Humans were blinded by their hatred, which developed through all these years. Recently small groups of rebels were ambushing the Human caravans, leading Humans to think that their Warchief is responsible. That was exactly what these rebels wanted the Humans to think. That went to far ... King Arman IV has made an Armanian Union, gathering forth the races who oppose or despise Orcs as well. Orcs had no other chances and they had enough of Human arrogance, forming Razgar's Tribes together, gathering forth the races who would love to see Humans dead, or bound to their will. Both sides will fight for land, honor and glory.

And so ... The Great War has begun.

HUMAN KINGDOM:
Kingdom of Armania (King Arman IV) -> Alliance: Armanian Union -> Humans, elves, fairies, dryads etc. You can make your own race, as long as it's pure and it would be acceptable to be in great relationship with Humans.

ORC KINGDOM:
Razgar's Clan (Warchief Razgar) -> Alliance: Razgar's Tribes -> Orcs, minotaurs, ogres, dark/evil elves etc. You can make your own race, as before. It has to be a race that humans would most likely disapprove of.

We're getting closer to an IC my friends. My character coming later today, but CS is here for you guys already.

CS:
Name:
Age:
Race:
Side: (Armanian Union or Razgar's Tribes)
Appearance: (Picture)
Personality: (Aggressive, friendly, flirty, loyal?)
Backstory: (No need to put an essay here.)
Weapon: (Your primary weapon. It can have special abilities.)
Magics: (If you're a magic user. If you're a Paladin for example, you can only use Holy magic. No fireballs and lightning strikes etc.)
Other: (If you wish to state something not listed, or expand on some other matter.
Strength: (One thing your character does well or possesses.)
Weakness: (Self explanatory.)

NOTE: If I, or anyone else thinks that a character is OP, or the user portrays him as Godlike and I can confirm that myself, I'll ask him/her to edit the character. (Also applies to characters doing Godlike or dodgy stuff during the RP.) If he/she doesn't comply, they will be removed from the RP. (Sick of all the demon/vampire crosses, super duper assassin's creed assassins ... I'm very picky about this, so I'll read every CS closely.)

Presenting the rules too:
- No godmodding,
- No metagaming,
- And other logical stuff. (Mostly respect towards other RPers OOC.)

One warning = OK. Two warnings = Removed from the RP. (If people complain about you too much and I find it justified.)
I am the only GM as of now.

I am interested in this idea.

I have some thoughts about the idea:

A conflict between two kingdoms could be over a single event:

Such as a catastrophe for a negative event, like a plague that invaded a kingdom and incited a war.

Or

Such as a profitable economy that flourishes for a positive event in a single kingdom and the other kingdom becomes jealous and starts stealing from the first kingdom, the other kingdom recognizes the theft for what it is and now they declare war against the other.

And/or there could be a land outside either of the two kingdoms-that is ruled through sheer power and cunning. Remaining independent and "for now" neutral to either kingdom, deciding to just bide their time to strike against either kingdom at the most opportune time. What motive could there be to strike and what might they be waiting for? No outsiders would know.

I like your ideas Gareth. I think that there should be a conflict about a contested province/territory, which then 'throws' out the racism, hatred and hostility, which results into the mobilizing the armies and waging war and death upon each other.

Idk, Orcs tend to be the obvious choice...maybe we should go for a different approach? whats a relatively obscure fantasy race?

Humans is an obvious choice. But it's not just that simple. The kingdoms have many races that support the kingdom's cause. Example that I came up with earlier:

Human kingdom (Working on a name -> mostly pure races):
- humans
- elves (whatever varieties)
- fairies
Etc.

Orc kingdom (-/-)
- orcs
- werewolves
- minotaurs
- ogres
Etc.

I don't want it to sound too WoW-ish tho.
This is just an example to give you the idea of what I mean with the word kingdom. Each a home to different species. We can also add neutrals of course. -> enemies to both.

- undead
- dragons/dangerous wildlife

You can expand on the races as well.

As much as I despise them, there's always dwarves for a neutral. Maintaining trading alliances with both warring kingdoms, giving them reasons to support each side, rahter than hating both.

Or we could start making stuff up, which is always good.

Subtle idea... Here we have three kingdoms:
[a][b][c]
A and C both want more territory, they agree to start a 'war' with each other and march their forces all over B who cant defend itself on both sides. Once they come to the middle, they can sign a peace treaty and dissolve B entirely since they already have all of their armies sitting on any positions of importance while 'preparing' for war.
