Missing in the Guild! (MIG) A topic to post lost ones and found them.

If I were to list all the people which I would want to rejoin with it would take a long time so I will only list my RPs (includes an interest check which was about to become a RP) and the good RPs that I was a part of when the old guild went offline.

My own RPs:

Memento - A Memory of Today, Kept for Tomorrow, while Remembering Yesterday - just stared OOC when the Guild died
Boarding School of Freaks (BSoF) EX RP, might revive on this new Guild
Aerethia (Multiple RPs in a Fantasy setting raging from Sword&Magic over Steam Punk to Modern Age) - Was in interest checks, and a OOC in the setting was made twice
Multiple smaller RPs which did not last to long.

Active RPs I was part of:

Tenshi Jigoku Academy (TJA) 4 (a legendary thread, one of the Free RPS with a huge number of post) by Overlord Roo, meet with some fellow roleplayers from it alreay
Andreemea: Initiation by ImportantNobody
Black Lagoon - A Life of Chaos and Lies by VanceXentan
A WWII Eastern Front Tank Crew RP (IC was named Tank Clash) by Trooper

Ex RPs which I was part of:

Earth Prime by Azure Sea
Vampire RP 1798AD by Azure Sea
Cladwell's Academy of Magical Talents (both the original and redo) by Aisling (original)/ Kuroku (Redo)
Tokyo: Humans Vs Demons by Destroyer4292
Probably number of ex-RPs which I don't even remember

That is pretty much all the major dead or ongoing RPs which I was a part on the old Guild. I hope I can meet up with most of the people which were on most of this forums, especially the ones that were ongoing.

Hope that someone actually wants to find me to. My name is still the one I had on the old Guild so finding me is not that hard! I am and will stay your fellow roleplayer gamer5. Contact me via PM if you recognize me!

Blood, tear, deaths & war

It is the year 2053 and April just begun in the small town of Buje located in the north west part of Istria, a peninsula sticking into the North Adriatic.

In the past 40 years the world has gone from bad to worse. During period from 2021 to 2033 most of what were once single countries, united into one of the five great megapowers.
Holding North America, most of the Pacific Islands and all but a few countries in South America that was from where the Atlantic Alliance started.
Formed the countries which made the former Soviet Union and what was Easter Europe, the Euroasian Union.
Under the word of Allah and controlling North Africa, Middle East and parts of Central Asia the religious Islamic Union.
United in their defiance stand India, China and Indochina, joined together in the Asian Front.
In the south, with Australia and South Africa as leaders the Southern Coalition.

After they all of them all formed in 2033 the world the turned into the battlefield, UN rendered powerless and the European Union forced to retreat from its south and east areas. Only the short lived Free Nations Military Alliance, which united from ex-EU members in south and east Europe, manages to buy time as the superpowers focus elsewhere.

A short time line:

2019 - The Great Economical Crisis (GEC) starts
2021 - To combat the GEC (by expand internal markets this way) USA and Canada join into the United States of North America. Other countries follow suit
2025 - The proto-megapowers begin sharp militarization to expand their industry and combat the GEC
2030 - GEC ends but large militarization has left the diplomatic atmosphere of the world in a state in which a spark would lead to a global war
2033 - Asian Front forms, creating the last megapower
2033 June 6th - The Takla Makan border incident between Asian Front and Euroasian Union, beginning of World War III
2036 May 21st - Free Nations Military Alliance forms in what use to be members of EU in the south and east Europe after it abandoned this areas in April
2040 January 1st - UN estimates that WW3 has made 13 million people into refuges and reached a death toll of 26 million
2040 February - In an attempt to gain a base the Euroasian Union attacks Japan (landing on Hokkaido)
2040 April - To stop the Euroasian Union the Asian Front attacks Kyushu
2040 December - After singing a peace agreement (in June) with the Southern Coalition the Atlantic Alliance attacks Japan (landings in the area of Nagoya)
2050 January 1st - UN estimates that WW3 has made 72 million people (of which at least 45 million are from Japan) into refuges and reached a death toll of 104 million
2050 Armed forces of Euroasian Union, Islamic Union and Atlantic Alliance push into south and east Europe
Late 2052 - Despite heavy resistance from the Free Nations and remains of both UN and EU forces, the Free Nations Alliance is forced into the mountainous regions of the mountains in the eastern part of South Europe
February 2053 - Armed forces of Euroasian Union, Islamic Union and Atlantic Alliance push into Istria

You will be play a member of the resistance forces which are trying to desperately defend the town of Buje from the armed forces of Euroasian Union, Islamic Union and Atlantic Alliance.

Name: Iruna Hareno
Age: 16
Gender: Female
School preferred: Any, as long as she gains new knowledge (will be edited after some time to fit which school will be in dire need of students).

Appearance:
Iruna stands 168 cm (5 feet and 6 inch) high and has a shoulder-long dark blue hair and black eyes. She usually wears light clothing which is easy to move around but her trademark are her ocean blue gloves made out of a combination of materials to give a combination of comfort and protection.

Due to lack of good pictures this is the closest appearance to how Iruna looks.

Main Skills/Elements:
None. Iruna doesn't know any magic what so ever.
Her only prominent ability is to learn really quick, no matter what is that she learns.
Has a impressive reading speed of 1000 pages/hour as well as a fit and healthy body.
Psychometry, the ability to gain information from objects just by touching them.

Personality:
Iruna is a quiet and shy girl which rarely talks with people. Her true self is always well protected under a veil of silence. In really she is a caring girl which holds her friends and life at all very important. She also loves books.

Anything else that you wish other people to know:
Iruna is a genius by any standard which you could take. At the age of 16 she has seven titles as a magistrate (of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Geography, Architecture and Art). Her IQ is way over Mensa standard and she won a number of world level competitions (including fencing, chess, karate and over ten other martial arts). She is also know as "The Perfect Lady"
Carries a SIG P229 for self defence (with a 13 round 9 mm magazine and a few spare magazines in her bag, mostly due to a kidnapping attempt three years by some country in hopes of foricing her into making them a nuclear weapons production facility).
Always carries a bag with her, in the bag there are the basic needs from first aid, over water supply, to rations, notebooks, paper spray and other useful things, like a solar power based universal power charger/generator.

Yuuriy

Name: Yuuriy Ingeli Revelis
Age: 15
Gender: Female
School preferred: Gishink's Abyssal School

Appearance:
Yuuriy is 145 cm high (4 feet and 9 inches) and has a extremly long black greasy hair which well recaches over her height. Her right eye is blue and her left is red. Her cloaths a veil of black dust-filed robes which over time earned a large amount of wear and tears looking more like a combination of something a vagabond would wear and something from a horor movie. Yuuriy has especionally pale skin which makes the large number of black scars of many sizes that cover her body stand out even more. The most notacable scars are the two large ones which reach to her face, one which goes from her left shoulder, spirals around her neck and then travles over her left cheek and up to her left eye. The other stretches over much of her body, staring somewhere above her left kidney and diagonaly making it's way over her torso, neck and ending on her right cheek.
Yuuriy, a few day before her 13th birthday.

Again due to lack of good pictures this is the closest appereance to how Yuuriy looked a few years ago.

Main Skills/Elements:
Necromancy, ice magic, dark magic.

Personality:
Altrough once a normal person, today Yuuriy's old personallty, if it even exitsts anymore, is buried under a mass of hate and scorn for humanity. Yuuriy now little cares for anything other then hersefl and gaining power.

Bio:
Yuuriy had a normal life until five years ago her father's firm went brankroupt which was followed by him falling to alcholoisam and staring to abuse his family. This lasted for two years after which Yuuriy's mother took her two daughters and left to live with her mother. What followed was ten months of a life which, compared to before, appeared like heaven to Yuuriy, trough the court process of her parent's divorce still hounted the family. Then a week before Yuuriy's birthday the court process ended with a victory for Yuuriy's mother and the family now planned a large celebration on Yuuriy's birthday with dual pourpouse. But the father in the meantime begun taking drugs and was growing more psyhologicaly unstable. Then the morning of Yuuriy's birthday came, her mother and sister were busy preparing the celebration, her grandpatents were shopping for the last needed party and she was in the school. But then to Yuuriy's house her father came and in all his madnes he killed his ex-wife and older daughter and waited for Yuuriy's arival. Then Yuuriy came home, but the events after that are still not clear, both to the police and Yuuriy's memory. The epilouge was quire clear, Yuuriy killed her father, buried her mother and sister under a tree where they used to play duing the peaceful time of thier life and then, filled with rage and hate towards humanity escaped as police sirens approched her house. From there on Yuuriy lived a life on the run, with her madness escalating into random murders from time to time. During the two years on the run made many enemies with organizations which wished to recruit, study or kill her.

Anything else that you wish other people to know:
During the events on her 13th birthday Yuuriy almost died but her own affinity for necromancy patched her up turning large parts of her body into more undead then living tissue. This increased her physical abilities beyond what humans. The black scars on her body are the most apperent tissue which was rebuild by her magic.
She wields a whip made out of carbon-nano fibers, tungsten carbide and magical materials which is not a powerfull weapon but also allows her to boost her powers and project them trough the whip, creating ice from it. It is called "Bloodied Black Whip".

Zerana

Name: Zerana Saraner
Alias: The Black One
Age: Over 100 years

Appearance:


Magical abilities: High level of elemental magic. Alchemy of great levels (knows how to make the Elixir of Life).
HMA: Shadowing
Other skills: Material arts. Master of strategy and tactics. Writing poems and novels, sculpturing, drawing, making building plans, engineering, culinary skills, knitting, designing. AKA most of the existing non-combat and non-magical skills.

Back story: Zerana was one of the most prominent students of The Traveler at his Great School of Magic (founded 261 years ago). After The Traveler left she replaced him as the headmaster and desperately tried to save the crumbling school but failed and left. During her journey in search of The Traveler she found the Magical Airship "Ïliyum" and with the help of small town she repaired the airship and turned it into a mobile school and headed on in her search for The Traveler while setting up the portal to her school. As she entered the area near Cadwell's the portal was already up and running.

The Traveler

Name: ???
Alias: "The Traveler"
Gender:??? (possibly male)
Age: ??? (the first record of The Traveler appeared around 700 years ago, but is know to have lived during in Egypt during the 14th dynasty)

Appearance: The Traveler's most common appearance is that of a 6 feet high young man with brown hair and eyes and plain features but he is know to change his appearance at his own personal whims or to blend into different surroundings. How he does this is unknown but he is definitely not a Shapeshifter.

Magical Abilities: All. This mysterious magician has learned at least the advanced level of all known magic and in combat uses all with equal power and skill, but this power is limit by the fact that by himself Traveler is not powerful just well learned, he realies on the magic power of a mysetrious supporter to unleash magic of great maginitueds without using artifacts, rituals or spots with great magical powers.

Personality: Little is know about The Traveler. His personality is warped in a wail of mystery.

About The Traveler:
Although not so know outside of the ring of the highest magic users The Traveler is quite famous amongst the powerful magicians. His contacts stretch across the land and it's rumored that he could easily rise the most powerful mages into a army with almost unmatched power. Strangely The Traveler doesn't seek power for the sake of gaining more power or ruling the world, as he himself told: "One day my power will be needed, but I hope that day is far in the future because on that day many souls will leave this world." The number of rumors about him is gigantic and he once also was a school headmaster, some 200 years ago (the school was abandoned 76 years ago, after the second headmaster and a disciple of Traveler left it). He is considered to be one of the most powerful mages in the world and definitely is the most studious one.

Where is The Traveler now:
The Traveler usually travels around the world but he heard that recently a number of magical education institutes was formed and that they are seeking teachers. As usual Traveler decided to share his knowledge with others and came to the area. He noticed Zerana's approach and decided to become make a greenhouse on Iliyum's upper hull, where he lives now in a small hut which he build while offering his services to any school which calls upon him.

Aerethia, 342 A.A.F.

Aerethia (Aeretiya both names can be used equally) a lush continent roughly the size of Europe and enclosed by oceans from three sides. North of it lies the harshly cold Snowlands which are as large as Africa.

History

In times long past a single race, the Ancient, ruled Aerethia and it's world Aethia with might and magic. But over 10000 years ago a magical experiment went wrong and most of the world of Aethia was ravaged by magic and most of the population of the world died or went crazy. Only Aerethia, protected by the most powerful magical shield, survived intact but cut off, by large magical vortexes which appeared on the edge of the magical shield which protected Aerethia from the harmful effect off the event.

During the next 10000 years civilization rebuild itself under the three races which were once ruled by the Ancients: Humans, Canis and Felinae fought wars, build momentous and sought new knowledge. But then mistakes from the past were repeated again, when a team of mages unlocked the Shrine of Winter Mountain and recreated the event which destroyed the Ancients on a much smaller scale, destroying the grandiose City of Asker and marking the beginning of a new era for Aerethia. The Asker Valley was closed off after all survivors left it. This event marks the beginning of the Aerethia calendar since the Kingdom of Asker ruled over all races of Aerethia.

A small group of refuges from Asker came to the Moon Lake and fearing that war will engulf the continent. They founded the core of what is to become the largest city of Aerethia, Moon City. Our story is set in a time when the advancement in science and magic start to change the continent of Aerethia.

Races of Aeretia

Humans, major race
Your ordinary humans. Unlike other races humans posses a variety of cultures and languages.

Felinae, major race
Felinae are humanoids which greatly resemble cats and are around 5 feet 2 inch tall. They are covered in dense fur, have cat ears, eyes and a tail. Their affinity for magic is smaller then those of the humans. They usually prefer agility over strength. Most Felinae live on the Catis Peninsul in south Aerethia or in the western part of the Moon Plato. Humans and Felinae can interbreed, giving a half-Felinae which retain their cat ears, eyes and a tail as well as some of the agility of the Felinae but have almost the same affinity for magic as humans; those are commonly called Nekos. Nekos can breed with humans, Felinae and other Nekos.

Canis, major race
Canis are muscular dog-like humanoids which like aggression and warfare, their height varies greatly but most are around 5 feet 5 inch tall. Although their ears and tail have shortened greatly they still retain a dog-like nose and short fur. Canis are extremely loyal to their nation. Most Canis utilize strength in combat. Of the species which can use magic Canis have the smallest affinity for it. The largest part of Canis population lives in western Aerethia. The interbreed ability with humans is proven and a half-Canis will have have Canis ears and a tail as well as a much larger affinity for magic then the ordinary Canis; given the rarity of such cases and their sterility there is no common name for half-Canis.

Ancient, minor race
Ancients are humanoids which resemble humans a great deal. The main difference is the height since the average Ancient is 7 feet tall and their inhuman hair and eye coloration which ranges from light yellow to dark violet, as well as their pale skin. Most Ancients have weaker bodies then humans, but all are born as mages. Humans and Ancients can interbreed and the result is a human with a weak body but which usually is a strong mage.

Lowers, minor race
Lowers is actually the term for a group of sentient species which are not intelligent enough to develop a civilization of their own but can fit in some roles of the Aerethian civilization since they posses some intelligence. Lowers are split by the magical element which dominates their habitat.

Countries of Aerethia

Canis Empire
A militaristic country with the Canis as the main population. The regions of this country are: The Waring Ridge Coast of Vor, Sed Valley, Great Canis Plain, The Coast of Sarta, The Long Swamp. Parlamentar monarchy.

Felinian Federation
Split in half the Felinian Federation is made of three provinces, two automatons provinces and two territories. Those are: Catis Prov., Senor Prov., Tekor Prov., Salimar AP, Marsor AP, Felin Province and Military Territory. Most of the population is Felinian with the percentage of humans increasing towards from Senor to Marsor, where they are a majority. The Felinian Federation is made of two parts, the South "Great" Felinia and the North "Small" Felinia. This is a result of a migration after the Fall of Asker when humanity granted North Felinia, then a low populated woodland, to Felinians due to fear of a Canis invasion. The Federation is ruled by two parlaments.

Human Confederation
The top country of Aerethia, just like USA in our world but more similar to the European Union, the Confederation is a union of human countries spanning across the whole continent. The countries are: Aranodorian Kingdom, Moon Territory, Military Territory, Beros Territory, Bay Territory, City of Teras, Esur Territory, Sarasian Kingdom, Three Oasis Union and Valorian Union.

Pirate Union
The Pirate Union is a country with no government, no law and only one rule: survival of the fittest. Known cities are the Wall City and the City of The First Pirate.

Moon City
Moon City is the largest Aerethian city and has just a little over 2 million people living in it. It's spread across many islands which dot the large Moon Lake (roughly the size, and shape, of Switzerland).
Moon Lake is located roughly in the center of Aerethia and the largest Aerethian rivers flow into the lake. North, west and east of it lies the large Moon Plato which is a lush lowland are which supplies large quantities of food. South-east lies the Small Desert, a area of arid conditions, south-west lies the Ore Mountains which are full of mining communities. Directly south of the lake and connected with it via the gigantic 114 m high Moon Falls is the Grand Canyon which connects with the Great Bay and then the oceans of Aethia.

Right now Aerethia is experiencing a parallel magical and industrial revolution as the invention of steam power and Magic Input Code (MIC, something like a magical binary code) launch Aerethia into a age of urbanization after it's political modernization.

That is the basic setting, basic info will be given about the specific setting for each the ideas bellow:

1. School life in Moon City
Moon City, the largest city in Aerethia and the place with the best education. Now we follow those which are about to embark on their third year of Moon Academy's Lower School. Note that those are fourteen years old by Aerethian birthday system in which all born during the same calendar year have the same age. Meaning that all the character which will be part of this would need to be born during 328 A.A.F. or failed a year.
Also if you want we can follow one of the many clubs of Moon Academy's Lower and Higher School. This will allow characters of many ages. If you want this say so in your post.

2. Construction of the Great East Railroad
The Great Desert, for centuries it was a area trough which only camel caravans and desert nomads could move freely, but now one of the greatest engineering undertakings of Aerethia is taking place - the building of a railroad straight trough the desert. But the harsh desert, the unwelcoming locals and even the logistic and other problems of such a project will put all the people involved into situations which might threaten to end the project and stop them from making history and building the Great East Railroad.

3. ITS Isana
Valor, the city of traders on the far south east end of Aerethia, center of salt production and the most important port of humanity from the times of Asker. Now as Aerethia rushes forward many opportunities arise for the people of this city and such one is the Lamar Independent Trading Company, a recently founded company which seeks to start trading both the newest mass product build in Valor - the Music Box along with the usual cargo of salt and other products. To do this they will use a new ship which was named Isana, after the Ancient name for the Wayfarer Gull, the bird which travels over larger distance without losing it's way. The ship is now looking for crew of all kinds, from the ones needed to operated the ship to the traders which can make use of the extra cargo space to fighters to combat pirates which might appear during their voyage trough the notorious Pirate Sea. Now the Independent Trading Ship Isana is to sail as soon as the crew assembles, with the capital of Felinia, Catis, as the first stop.

4. Nomads of Snowlands
North Aerethia, know as the Snowlands, except for a few small fortifications along the roads of the Ancients and a few settlements where there are some ways of farming, animal husbandry or catching food which provides a constant source of food, lies full of scattered nomads or covered under glaciers. Everyday is a struggle to survive. But now even darker days are coming with their origin from the south. Lured mostly by rare herbs needed for powerful medicines or animal furs needed for expensive clothing, hunting parties and then large expeditions are now coming into the Snowlands. This will not be just any conflict, this will be a fight for survival for the nomads which live in this land.
