Rules and CS

Rules:
1. I am the law. Seriously, what I say goes.
2. Any Co-GMs I appoint are also the Law.
3. Be like the Fonz, be cool, be kind.
4. You MAY make shit up. Like races, powers, and whatnot. Just keep these things in mind; You may not add any elements, you must get my approval first, and you must not contradict anything. I'll help you tweak it in the event you run afoul of that last point, but will deny it outright if those first two points are broken.
5. Be creative! I wanna see some cool stuff, things a little more interesting than double-katana trenchcoat guy.
6. Lighten up! while this isn't Monty Python, there's a fair amount of silliness in this setting. That said,
7. Know when to be serious! If everyone's busy lamenting the death of a character's child, now is not the time to bust through the wall with shotgun paladin on a T-rex.
8. These rules are suspect to change anytime I feel like, if necessary.

Elemental affinity and you [+]

Elemental affinity describes the unique magical make-up of ones soul, what type of energy makes up their essence. To determine your character's affinity, take a look at your personality, and compare it to these short descriptions and choose what feels most appropriate. If you have any trouble at all, don't hesitate to ask me for help.

Fire: Strong-willed, emotional, and proud, fire types tend to act first and without a lot of thought. They are usually ruled by their emotions, for good or ill. While prone to raging outbursts, you'd be hard pressed to find a braver soul. Their tenacity, courage, and passion often lends them well to leadership positions on a small scale, such as commanding a squad of troops or supervising a group of construction workers. They tend to be artistic as well.

Water: Calm, collected, intelligent, and a little cold. Water people tend to be quiet, intellectual types. They are patient to a point, but if pushed too far their rage can easily surpass a fire person's in ferocity. Their patience and intelligence lends them well to scholarly positions, and are also good at more research oriented positions as well. Unfortunately, water people often have difficulty showing emotion, so may come off as aloof, cold, or unfeeling.

Earth: Sturdy, wise, and a bit stubborn, earth types tend to be dependable, resolute individuals. Loyal to a fault and reasonable, earth types can be great friends, as they often possess gentle, caring natures. Earth types lend themselves well to being laborers or doing domestic jobs. However, if one thing can be said, they have a hard time with change, and are often very stubborn. If they have convinced themselves that they are right, there is little you can do to change their mind.

Air: Free-spirited, adventurous, and a tad unfocused, air types are often wild-cards. Laid back and agreeable, they tend to breeze through life, care-free and curious. They have a way with advanced technology, their curiosity pushing them to understand its workings. Unfortunately, this disordered lifestyle can lead to them being unfocused and unprepared, as the 'wing it' approach doesn't always work. In addition, they often experience severe mood-swings, and are more prone to mental illness. In essence, they go where the wind takes them, if you'll excuse the slight pun.

Light: Devoted, just, and slightly vengeful, Light types are often paragons of the community. They are often kind and selfless, capable of great acts of self sacrifice for the good of the community. Unfortunately, they tend to expect the same of other individuals, and some may have difficulty meeting their high standards. They also tend to bring the hammer down on things they perceive as 'wrong,' and will often excuse terrible deeds in the name of the greater good. despite their faults, they tend to be good more often than not.

Darkness: Driven, Protective, and a bit greedy, Dark types epitomize progress. While not as charitable as light types, Dark types will often go out of their way to protect their allies, and are often confident and driven in their purpose, if a bit arrogant at times. However, ambition, greed, and selfishness plague dark types, who despite their defensive nature will often do all that they can for personal gain. The difference between light and darkness can be a matter of scale. While a light person will protect anyone and willingly give their lives, dark types will even more fiercely protect friends and allies, but not strangers and not at the cost of their own lives.

Characters and other crap goes here!

Welcome to RUNE! This roleplay focuses on the planet of RUNE, a magical land where both arcane magic and advanced technology reigns, a place where almost any sort of character is permitted, without jumping into mary-sue territory or the realm of Anthros, of course.

PC's will play characters heading to the desert city of Rosa, located in TERRA, to join the adventurer's guild there, to claim fortune and glory! While this OOC exists, there is still some background left to write, but feel free to write up a character and remember that players may assist me in world build if they wish.

The lands of RUNE [+]

IGNIS:
IGNIS is easily the most inhospitable of the six continents, for a variety of reasons. For one thing the landscape itself seems to have gone mad. Plains of jagged, rusted metal, Volcanoes lake of acid, Deserts of rust instead of sand, and worse. Only the very stongest survive the horrors of IGNIS, and here, they thrive. For you see, IGNIS only allows the mightiest warror in the land to rule, because what right does a man hve to command those stronger than him? Every five years, a tournament is held in the coliseum in the capital. This battle takes place between at least a hundred volunteers, and only one man will survive, the new Warlord. For you see, all battles are to the death. Nothing forces the previous Warlord to join the battle, though he can. Those warlords that do decline participating are often respected, for it is wise to know when you are no longer fit to rule. Many former Warlords have served as advisors to the new Warlords in the past, serving to guidethem so the things like the Vulpine Genocide are not repeated. The previous Warlord died recently, and with the tournament approaching that void will likely be filled soon.

AQUA:
In stark contrast to their Ignan neighbors, the Aquans live in a very habitable, some would say pleasant locale. For the most part, Aquan land consists of an enormous amount of tropical islands, with some underwater cities even. However, it is not without danger. Terrible things lurk in the depths, and more than a few islands are infested with cannibals. To the south, there are larger, colder landmasses. The two islands of Lapis and Lazuli are the largest islands, and mostly consist of snowy, though habitable, wastelands. The extreme south is almost completely unliveable however. AQUA's government is Semi-democractic, run by ten tribes. Each individual tribe chooses a representative, and one is elected as their president, elected by the other representatives. Voting for themselves is forbidden, as to prevent a complete stalemate in voting. The Sapphire tribe is in current leadership of the council.

TERRA: .
TERRA is by far the largest continent, and the most geographically (and racially) diverse. If it's not a glacier it can likely be found on TERRA. However, notable features include RUNE's largest Desert, mountain range, and forest. Peculiarly, under the western half of the continent there is an enormous tunnel running all the way through the continent, large enough to allow trade ships to pass through. As for government, an ordered Empire is employed, with succession based on lineage. However each would-be heir must prove themselves worthy in a trial determined by the people. If the family in power cannot produce a worthy successor, the people elect a leader from one of the other families, and succession proceeds normally. The general time period in which a family has control is referred to as a dynasty. Currently, the Jade family is in power. Notably, TERRA has an Empress at present, which by sheer virtue of chance has not happened in at least two centuries. She is also quite young, a mere sixteen years-old, and her leadership capabilities are often called into question because of this.

VENTUS:
While TERRA's lands may feel mundane and IGNIS may seem overly antagonistic, VENTUS is a happy medium. Ridiculous, but not necessarily mean-spirited. No less deadly though. In VENTUS, most of the landscape is rock and iron, however in some areas there is some truly warped gravity, resulting in floating platforms of stone and metal. There are at least three the size of small countries, these just sort of hover in more or less the smae spot, and countless numbers of smaller ones that just sort of roam. Though citizens of another continent havenothing to worry as floating islands that escape Ventus fall into the sea. Other than that, there are huge fields of windswept stone spires, tall and thin, as well as flat fields of iron sand, that are often plagued by windstorms and magnetic maelstroms. Still, it's not all bad as VENTUS is among the most technologically advanced of the civilizations. As for government, the traditional Royal families evolved into Various Merchant Houses over the course of VENTUS' history. Currently, the Topaz family is the dominant profiteer.

UMBRA:
UMBRA, the land of darkness. A fitting name, as for whatever reason the sun never shines all that brightly here. In fact, during the day the light level can be compared to sunset or sunrise. As such, UMBRA is quite cold. In addition, the sky seems to be a sort of reddish purple during the day. However, there is nowhere in the world with a more spectacularly clear view of the night sky. There is enormous detail in the starry sky, and the beautiful nights are an oft-cited tourist magnet. As for lands, while no IGNIS it has its dangers. Most of the land is rolling hills with but one mountain. There is a very tall cliff at the northern-most tip of the continent, and quite a few bogs and marshes. However, beware. to the northwest is a hellish nightmare forest, with trees of flesh and bone, with a hunger for things constructed of similar materials. As for government, UMBRA is odd. UMBRA is an Oligarchy, that is an elite few rule over the land (so, a royal family). The odd part is that the exact nature of the law or government is completely up to whatever family is in charge, until they are inevitably overthrown somehow. However, the leader, by tradition, is always referred to as Czar. This way, Rule often bounces between benevolent and tyrrannical. The current house in power is the Onyx house, which is the former.

NOVA:
NOVA, the land of light, also fitting. Nowhere does the sun shine brighter, the snow fall purer. Out of all the Continents, NOVA is said to be the most beautiful. Rolling snowy hills, gentle tundra, shining ice fields, and a truly breathtaking 'forest' that seems to be made entirely of crystalline structures. While there are dangers in the wilderness, they are said to be much more benign than other lands. And when compared to places like Ignis you better damn-well believe them. Novan citizens are fiercely loyal, zealous even, and extremely pious. NOVA is the only continent where demons and devils are unwelcome, for instance. While harsh on lawbreakers it is not an orwellian nightmare by any means. They was a dark time, however... NOVA is ruled by three governing bodies, each with checks and balances against eachother, to make sure the past stays in the past. There is the Archmage, who is simply the best mage in the land, often aged and wise. Then there is the Archsaint, appointed by the remainder of the royal families. He (or she) is mostly a figure-head, but is often the spiritual core of the nation, and does carry weight in decision-making. And finally the Council, which consists of 100 various seats, each member is elected by the public. The current Archsaint is a man of the Silver family, and the current Archmage is a Siren women by the name of Rue-a. Any rumors that the two are romantically involved are unfounded and to be ignored.
