Omnes Britannia

For as long as man can remember, he has faced monsters in his quest to expand and grow as a species. Some among his people tried to make peace with the beasts, but often these peaces were short lived, and man quickly found himself in conflict with them again, though some were born during these peaces who gained a new power: These monsterborns found themselves gifted with the ability to warp the elements to their will. Their abilities, cristened magic, allowed them to gain dominion over the realms.

In 505 AD, a man was born of a dragon and a king. This man, known as Arthur, led the people of England, as well as their neighbors in Scotland and Ireland, against invaders, and became known as the one true king of Britain.

Near the end of Arthur's life, a discovery was made in Egypt by English traders. This discovery was the Rosetta Stone, and with its discovery, so to were discovered the Angelic Runes: Words of power, which allowed man the ability to use magic without being born of monsters.

For 500 years, this form of magic was studied, refined, and its users began to develop their own philosophies and views on the matter, and, as man is wont to do, splits began.

Four houses, four clans were formed, each taking up residence in different parts of the islands.

In Perth stood the Northern Clan, Ignis, who used their powerful fire magic to take to the air.

In York was the Eastern Clan, Aqua, whose torrential waters were used to overpower all.

In Devon, the Southern Clan, Terra, used their powers over the earth to shield themselves from their aggressors

While in Connaught settled the Western Clan, Ventus, fighters whose agile fighting was backed by the wind.

Between the fighting of the clans within the isles and the general mistrust between the countries that made them up, the alliance forged by Arthur should never have lasted. And yet, for nearly half a millenium, it stood.

Today the British Isles are a place of shaky politics. Ever so slowly, the Arthurian Alliance shakes at its base. Speak of war is rampant, and it seems that both the English and the Scots are building armies for a confrontation that has been brewing for 5 centuries...

Right, so this is the Alpha Interest Check for this rp (Beta Interest Check is here.), with an actual story and background set up.

The character sheet rubric is as follows:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Personality:
History:

Even though this is in free, I'm not expecting any one liners. You're expected to have good spelling and grammar, and to write 3 sentences per post. Not anything difficult, but certainly not what's expected in Casual.

The only real considerations in character creations are as follows:
1- Scribes (The users of Runes) may only practice one of the 5 schools, due to the secrecy the clans use, and the difficulty of learning and using the different alphabets. You may have tattoos and prepared runes from any clan, so long as there's a reason for you to have it.
2- Monsterborn characters look mostly human due to the strength of human blood. They can use magic of any of the 4 elements, and have the power to combine the elements, though they lack a certain finesse, which they make up for in variety that mixing spells brings.
3- Magic is NOT going to be a be all end all. I'm not sure what the balancing factor will be, but in a fight between a Monsterborn, a master swordsman, and a master scriber, there's no way of determining who would win outright.

So yeah. Finally, my co-developer and the creater of the Runes/Scribing is CrimsonWarrior55, and he's the guy to ask for questions about that part. Anyway, looking forward to starting this, and I hope you guys will be stoked as I am.

Finished CSEdit:Is there going to be a specific number of people to get before we start?

Just want to hear from a few... I'd like around 6ish people before go time, and right now we've only got 3 down and 2 waiting, plus a couple invites with no word yet.

Name: Roland Pendragon
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: TBD
Personality: A very stiff and unyielding young man with a strong sense of justice and want to do the right thing, though a bit lacking in sense. He believes in trusting people until given a reason not to trust them.
History: Born to a family of knights, Roland was raised from a young age to be a soldier, and told he carried the blood of the legendary king in his veins. He and his peers took little stock in his name or ancient family history, but the boy was commended for his excellent skill with the blade. At age 14, he was conscripted into the Scribe-Killers, a group of elite knights, trained in the use and interruption of scribe magic in service of the king. In spite of his training and knowledge on runes, he is unable to use scribe magic beyond that which is infused to his armor and sword, though he is highly adept at interrupting and redifining the runes used by other scribes.

We make characters, we invite more people, we start this shiz.

We're sticking fairly generic. I think the runes is specialized enough, no? We'll leave it as a maybe, but not from the start. Nonhumans are monsterborns, who have the blood of monsters.

Looking good. I've got someone to design a magic base for this RP, so... Yeah, Interesting stuff is happening.

Honestly, I'm not too worried about the sample, so long as you promise to keep to the standards on pain of being booted... I'll post a skelly now though.

Name:
Age:
Gender:

History:

Yeah, super basic.

It will be nice if we can have a free RP that avoids all the one sentence shitposts.

That's kind of the basic idea. This is in free because I want some speed, but the standards I want aren't quite up to casual for this, even though that's where I normally lurk.
