Origin Nation Name: Itrora
Nation Description: Itrora is a major metropolis in the nation of Esmeash. The biggest city on the biggest land mass in all of the world. State and Church co-exist to dictate the citizens every move. Itrora is a place of severe economical divide, the rich are very rich and the poor are very poor. Famine and homelessness plague the common people of this city. Starvation and murder are the top two causes of death consecutively. The upper district is locked up, living in a perfectly blind world where the outside horrors are just statistics made by activists. And all the worlds problems can be solved through prayer and pennies given on holy days. (Think like really several England during the 17/18th centuries. Lots of industrialization and over-population. Poor people coming from a farming settings looking for work. Also pretty steam-punky).

Brief BackgroundEffie is not shy about her background. She doesn't see the benefit in keeping things about herself a secret. At the age of five Effie's mother and father were murdered in their sleep and Effie's eyes was cut out and she was left for dead. Later she would find out that they were part of a gang initiation. She was saved by Droai Oblos who worked on her for several months. Building her a new eye and nursing her back to health mentally. Oblos was a philosopher for the church. He studied under and for them, working within the recesses of the main cathedral in Itrora. He took Effie under his wing and she became his prodigy. She read theories and created her own, learned about politics, government and economics. Oblos encouraged her develop her own opinions on the societal issues that plagued Itrora. As she got older Effie asked more questions, about the world outside of the city. She made a plan to leave Oblos and Itrora to explore the rest of the world. However the night before she left Professor Oblos disapeared. He left behind nothing but an ominous note that made no indication of where he was going, what had happened or why he had left. The only clear thing about the note was that Effie was not to try and find him. Naturally, Effie began to revise her previous plan. Now with only one clear goal: Find Oblos.

I didn't really flesh out "The Church" much. I don't really think that it is going to play an important role, however I can come up with something more if it ever becomes relevant. I don't imagine it is like any modern day major religion.
Player Input: Why do you want to join this role-play? I like the idea! It has a really distinct D&D feel to it which I like. Plus all the people seem really nice and down to earth, which is awesome.
What makes you think yourself to be dedicated enough to be accepted? I might be new to the forums but I have a long history of RPing. Plus, I only plan on committing myself to one Role Play (and this is the only one that really piqued by interest), so I won't have to divide my time on here.
If you needed a break because of real life, would you inform anyone on this RP? Of course! Like the rest of us I have real world obligations (school, work and relationships) that might get in the way. I will always let you guys know when I won't be able to respond at any period of time.
