The Story [+]

The world of Protogonos. At its beginning, history has been read that this planet was once a smaller one orbiting a larger one named Sfoungari. Until one day the planets center gave off a massive eruption of heat and matter. This eruption caused the planet to grow to one day crash into the planet S'foungari and knock it afar within the solar system. As a result Protogonos was turned into a new planet. Ever growing and changing for millions of years.

One day. A Seraphin, a being with transdimensional powers, made its appearance within the planets solar system. It found Protogonos to be a world of limitless power and resources. Not only this but it had inhabitants of mostly Dragons of various species. Living among these Dragons were beings named Descendants (Of Dragons). These beings resembled the Dragons in tenacity yet were not as big or as strong. However the Seraphin found these beings to have a series of complex emotions similar to his own and began to commune with them. He found them intelligent and most importantly while they were not immortal like the Dragons they did have their souls and complexities. Their souls, hungry for more, can never fade away and could remain as different forms within the world forever. However once this occurs for most amnesia usually befalls them and they float away intangible to air and space itself. Those that remain limbo for a period too long fade out from this dimension entirely.

The Seraphin made Protogonos its home and made himself a wife from one of the Descendants. Her name was Mana and upon death ascended to be the Seraphins eternal wife. Before her death she had many children. Each one capable of great power and immortal unless harmed through severe means. They led a movement to expand their territories. Against the Dragon forces of Tevlanuik. As time went on the Seraphin and his Descendants children were able to overtake the Dragons. With more land taken than ever before they began to make use of the countless resources on Protogonos. The god being was pleased and began to teach Descendants forms and usage of power within their souls.

His children, and their descendants, were far more exceptional at using their souls potential and reshaped the world as time progressed. However as time progressed the Seraphin was seen or heard of less and less. Even to the point that those who lived believed he and his wife created a world in the stars above for the ascended to go to and live the rest of their lives in peace and joy. Others believed he was gone, returning to where ever he came from or to simply spend eternity away, and there are those who believe he will return. For after his disappearance the world was put into chaos. Volcanoes erupted, earthquakes ripped and meteors hailed the planet. With what they learned from the Seraphin they put to use to protect themselves.

Once the disasters were finished the Descendants found their knowledge to be sharpened given the harsh conditions of living on the planet itself yet remaining the top of the food chain and still developing to be a testament of their abilities. With confidence they spread out into the world and retained territories. Each individual Descendants having a specific trait due to their geography. The different home lands for Descendants are Fotia, Nero, Gaia, Vrondi, Tearian.

Time passed and as the tale of how things came to be was held with high regard. But for some it came with distaste for the Seraphin. Abandoning his children, his people. But not only that but many in this new generation began to believe that as they lived longer, were stronger and more capable compared to their past selves they believed they were capable of more for themselves than the Seraphin. Even capable of ascending into Gods themselves. This belief spread and was shown light with action. The bloodline of immortal beings Mana gave birth to waged war with those who did not want the mind set of relying on another being for their own evolution. Due to the fact many of those who were with the immortals or children of them were starting to disappear or be found dead with various carvings cursing the Seraphin.

Sensing his people were in turmoil the being returned. The one they simply called "God", returned to see what was happening. Upon returning he claimed a throne within the skies. Visible from below by all and a place for all the lands leaders to see his declaration to make the world his. To be a proper God to them and rule over them. However there are those who do not want, or believe they do not need a God to take care of them. So there are rumors of a war. For under the Gods rule were the ascended. However instead of being roaming spirits they were focused reformed beings of energy like flames. Even despite this the Lands of the Descendants were forming a unified group to kill the God using knowledge found by these independents.

The Descendants [+]

Rules. They're fun right?
No godmoding or powerplaying as usual.
No sex or cybering in explicate detail over the board.
RPGuild rules apply.
If your character about to die and you choose to save them a dice roll must occur to decide if they live or die. Another must be done for their level of Ascension.
No infinite stamina, magic, or weapons unless said so by the GM
Respect and pay attention to each other both OC and IC
NPCs made by players other than GM will not have significance to the main story.
The main story comes into priority over your characters stories.
Try to make at least 2 paragraphs per post.
GM is master of the domain, creator of order. And you may call him Rai.

Dice Roll logic: For a fatal wound to kill your character a roll of a six sided die will be made. The result is 3 and below they die. The Ascension level if you choose to Ascend will be done in a similar way. You will choose 3 possible things your character can become through Ascension and a dice roll will be made to see which is chosen.

Ascended Adv/DisAdv
Advantages: Ascended beings are usually older, sometimes significantly making them capable of being more wise and adept. They can perform ghost abilities such as dimensional stepping (going through objects via a parallel dimension.) Their bodies are made out of soul, which is fiery for descendants of dragons. Making them able to set things on fire with their very bodies and even move as controlled flames. Sometimes reaching the point where natural weapons cannot harm them at all. Their affinity for magic is increased. They are freed of flesh and blood's desires and needs such as eating or sleeping. They cannot feel pain and some of the most powerful are indestructible by natural means. Limbs can be absorbed if dismembered to regrow without issue, or if one limb is missing it can be reformed with ease, even beheading.

Disadvantages: Amnesia befalls all characters Ascended so they must relearn what they once knew. They must have strong will to stay in their original forms so many Ascended become animals, weapons, objects or simply fade away. Anything that puts out flames can potentially kill most Ascended, as their bodies are made of flames. Flaming bodies without control hurt or kill anything in it's path and can fade away with the wind. Ascended have little strength physically compared to that of Descendants. Any character with slight control of their soul and magic affinity can damage a Ascended and if an Ascended's form is damaged, dismembered or worse it depletes some of their magic gauge to fix the deformity immediately.

Magic
Magic is the interdimensional powers of a god written into a soul and broken down into limited constructs. Think of coding in video games, or the matrix. Imagination, character, training, skill, affinity are all factors. The soul makes the magic possible, the mind makes the soul work. The atmosphere and other dynamics can affect the success in even casting a spell. With developed skill, spells can be cast at different levels, a simple flame spell can be expanded to summon fireballs. A spell meant to put one person to sleep can put down a dozen as well as give them nightmares. It's related to one house and the doors will open depending on the house you are in. Coincidentally a lot of magic is learned from schools or teachers in this world. But the more advanced arts are hidden and require self teaching or special training.

There is a gauge for magic. Your soul is linked to your magic directly giving it the code to be able to push out spells with little to no cost depending on your character's training in the art. There are no limits on magic use most of the time as most spells are not tremendously powerful. For those who are well taught in the arts of magic or who use the more powerful spells their spells must have a limitation to it in order to be accepted.

If you happen to throw fire. Ask yourself some questions on realism.
How fast is it going?
How hot is the fire?
What length can it go before fizzling out? etc.

Technology
The level of technology is high. Mostly weaponized, medicine, and aquatic technologies may I add. Other technologies are mostly modern with the old world mixed into it. Magic sees to the comfort of nomadics and technology sees to the life styles of the average citizen you could see today. This being said the world is still very harsh and science is a means to an end as most scientific pursuits are superseded by magic. Only three kingdoms have become pioneers in the road of technology. Fotia, Tearia, and Nero. Fotia focuses on weapons and heavy machinery. Tearia has come very far in their water exploration technology, pillaring on the most advanced Kingdom if they were not so secretive. Nero is medically advanced, curing most diseases and sicknesses that has befallen their people. There are no space advancements besides highly advanced satellites within their skies that are both weapons and more. Other planets have been observed but few have gone beyond their realm to visit the solar system above just yet. Despite their advancement, they have chose to stay put so to speak. And work on true dimensional warping.

Lugia [+]

Quote: "This was supposed to be a freeze ray, but I think it works better as a toaster."
Name: Sol Ignis
Age: 24
Ascended: No
Race: Sajukai/Bleek
Species: Descendant
Gender: Male
Sex Preference: Hetero
Abilities/Powers: He prides himself in his inventions... however, they never work correctly, pretty much forcing him to rely on his fire and lightning magic instead. He is also quite fast, however, his scales aren't as tough as they should be, making him somewhat vulnerable to weapons. He is also capable of flight, though, he's not very good at it, yet.
Lightning Bolt - A simple magic spell which fires a small lightning bolt from one of Sol's claws (usually the claw on his pointing finger). The lightning bolt is actually created by firing a single electron from Sol's claw into the enemy, the rest of the lightning bolt relies on the attraction between Sol's positively charged claw, and the now negatively-charged enemy.
Fire Breath - With Sol's mixed Sajukai and Bleek heritage comes some fiery abilities, one of which just happens to be the ability to breathe fire. In order to do so, Sol usually casts a type of fire magic inside his own mouth, and uses his own breath to spread the otherwise small flames around his foes.
Slice up - A rather simple attack which utilizes either Sol's sword, or his claws to slash at the enemy nearly non-stop, doing so at high speeds, however, due to how quickly the attack is performed, there's little to no control over where the enemy's getting attacked.
Fire Ball - A more focused attack than fire breath. For this one, Sol focuses his fiery magic in his hand until it forms into a ball, after which, he throws it at the enemy.
Lightning Grid - A more advanced lightning magic where Sol creates a grid using his lightning bolt attack built to hit as many enemies as possible. This magic takes a lot out of Sol, and he only uses it when he's in a bind.
Weapons: A strange, bronze-colored sword that has electricity sparking off of it which was apparently supposed to be a combination laser gun and blade. Obviously, that didn't work, and he looked back at the idea, and figured that it was just plain stupid anyways. He also carries around various, random, malfunctioning rays, most of which he's forgotten the original use for.
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 205lbs
Physical appearance: Sol resembles a dragon much more than a Seraphin, and as such, his body is completely covered in scales, which are a bright, golden color. He also has a four-foot long tail, and two wings, each of which match his body in size. His snout is somewhat long and skinny compared to other dragonlike descendants like him. The scales on his underbelly are a silvery white, and his eyes, wing membranes, and claws (which measure in at a measly four inches long) are all a red color. Those are the only things that make him stand out from the other Bleeks... well, that is, if you don't count his ridiculous choices in clothing, which includes his weird green hat, goggles (which, by the way, don't do anything), and his 'trademark' green coat with a bronze trim. His pants are actually somehow normal, being simple denim jeans that are just about the correct size. All of his clothes are obviously fitted to include tail and wing holes. While he is dragonlike in appearance, he has a bipedal stance, even if he stands on his toes rather than his entire foot. He also has four fingers on each hand, or rather, three fingers on each hand and an opposable thumb on each hand as well. He also always carries around a plain brown bag that has all of his failed inventions in it... and thankfully, he hasn't invented too many things yet.
Personality: Sol is somewhat energetic, and very curious about how certain things work, however, he can seem pretty distant towards his friends, especially newer ones.

History: Sol was an oddity, not only because his father is from Fotia, but also because neither his mother nor his father were bipedal, yet, he was. The first few years of his life were fairly normal, save for the fact that he had to hide the color of his eyes and wings to keep him, or really, his family from being judged by the other families. Sol never really liked the idea of Ascension, mainly the fact that you had to die, and somehow trust that you'd still exist for some reason, the fact that his peers would almost never keep quiet about it. It seemed to Sol that these others were basically giving up on life over some sort of idea that what comes afterwards would be better. Sol had some minor aptitude with magic, but that was nothing to write home about, and he was simply 'average' when compared to the rest of his kind. This cycle of 'Get a C in magic, pretend to listen to peer's opinions on Ascension, go home, and repeat' went on for about thirteen years, which seemed to be how long it took his father, Magmus, to figure out that Sol was bored with his life. That was when Magmus, despite Luminis, his mother's, complaints, took Sol to his homeland. It was there where he finally found his passion, inventing. The place was so different, almost opposite from where Sol grew up, and, for a while, the only place Sol knew about. There were so many different machines everywhere, and they seemed to work on something that wasn't magic, and something that was actually visible, physical, and impossible to disprove. Of course, by then Sol had noticed something had... left his mind. Something wasn't inside of his head anymore... it was weird, but, at this point, he didn't actually care. He had to know how to make these things.

The three weeks Sol spent in Fotia were amazing to him. It took him a little while, but, after asking some of the locals how they make some of their machines, Sol finally figured it out... kinda. Sol, after figuring out what he needed to know, spent the last hour of his vacation gathering supplies to make various machines with. Sol's father, who was happy simply to see him happy, paid for all of the supplies (which wasn't that much) for Sol, who, being as young as he was, was completely broke. During the trip back, all Sol talked about was how he was going to make this trinket, or the next gadget which didn't seem to bother Magmus at all. Once Sol returned to his home, something seemed off, he seemed more restrained in his thoughts, which was reflected by his first few inventions, which were a flashlight where the glass the light passed through was of a smiling Seraphin face (basically, just this emoticon :) ), a bubble-generating gun, and a pillow. Not only were these inventions not what he had in mind, but they've already been invented before. Frustrated with his 'work', Sol left Vrondi for a little bit, and the moment he left, he noticed something... that thing... it left again. Sol tried inventing just outside of Vrondi, and finally came up with his first invention worth mentioning, his sword. Sure, the laser part didn't work as he had intended, and the thing seemed to randomly spark electricity around the edges of the blade, but he felt that this invention was finally his own. He finally made his own thing, now he just had to find some way of doing this, while still at home.

Yes, every time Sol went back into Vrondi, he was incapable of inventing anything that could be used to harm someone, something that annoyed Sol quite a bit. He asked himself how he could possibly stop this 'thing', which turned out to be the bubble which protected the city filtering out any 'bad' or 'impure' thoughts, from affecting his work... of course, while Sol was under the influence of this brain-washing sphere, he was bored. Nothing seemed sufficiently exciting, or even really fun. Unfortunately, he had to put off inventing until he found a solution to his dilemma, which, in no less than ten years later, somehow came in the form of a crazed beggar, uttering complete nonsense to passers-by. The descendant seemed completely unaffected by the bubble's mind-prying influence, as evidenced by his anger towards certain, snootier, members of the community. However, Sol wasn't completely convinced, yet, and as a test, Sol walked up to the descendant, sword drawn. The descendant shouted in fear at Sol's weapon, prompting Sol to sheathe his sword and ask the descendant how he became immune to the bubble. The descendant pointed to his tin foil hat, which seemed completely weird to Sol, who initially laughed at the man, and returned to his home. Once there, he decided to put together a test, and made several hats out of several materials. Sol tried all of them, however, none of them seemed to work, that is, until he tried, almost as a joke, the tin foil. As a part of his test, he left the bubble, put on the hat, and then re-entered. Every other time, he'd still feel the bubble's influence on his mind, however, this time, he was free. His mind wasn't effected by the bubble with the tin foil hat on, however, he didn't want to draw attention to the fact that he had escaped the bubble's influence, so he put on the dumbest looking hat he could find, and, just to draw more attention away from his tin foil hat, he put on a pair of goggles. After that was done, Sol went on an inventing spree, finally able to create inventions with his own mind and in his own home. Within the last year of his life, he came up with three new inventions, none of them worked properly, but at least these failures were his own.

Quote: “Welcome to Somnior Remedies. What can I do for you today?”
Name: Noxxus Somnior
Age: 37
Ascended: No
Race: Nayudo
Species: Descendant
Gender: Male
Sex Preference: Hetero
Abilities/Powers: Noxxus can move around quickly and quietly, but can’t take hit very well. He’s completely blind, but with his enhanced hearing he can easily pick up even the faintest sounds.
Sleeper’s Grasp – Noxxus puts his hand on a foe’s head, and in about 10 seconds they’ll fall asleep. He tends to use it a lot, since it’s not lethal, but still effective.
Noiseless Dash – Noxxus quickly dashes from one spot to another. It’s almost impossible to detect him while he’s doing this. He doesn’t use this one a lot, unless he knows exactly where he is and exactly where he’ll end up.
Dark Cloud – Noxxus throws black powder on the ground, and it creates a thick cloud of black smoke around him. Anybody who is caught in the cloud is temporarily blinded. Another attack that he rarely uses, since he has a limited amount of black powder.
Weapons: A bag filled with black powder, as well as a small knife for emergencies.
Height: 6’7”
Weight: 210
Physical appearance: Noxxus is tall and slender, with very little muscle. His skin is mostly black, with purple scales above his eyes, as well as on his arms, legs, and tail. His eyes have no pupils, and the irises are barely visible. He has black hair, which he keeps very short. When he’s running his shop, he wears a black vest with “Somnior Remedies” printed on it in large white letters. Any other time, he wears a similar vest without any text on it. He also wears black pants.
Personality: He is kind and welcoming to most people, and it’s hard to anger him. He goes out of control when he is angry, though.
History: Noxxus was raised in Nero. He was completely blind since birth, which is normal for Nayudo, so it wasn’t much of a problem back then. He did well in school, and learned to use magic pretty effectively. His parents owned a small shop in Nero called Somnior Remedies. It wasn’t very successful, though, since it was overshadowed by many other shops in Nero that sold the exact same thing. Noxxus couldn’t see why they didn’t just go to other places. When he asked them about it, they just told him they didn’t want to leave Nero.
Somnior Remedies was eventually started to go out of business because his parents weren’t earning enough money to maintain it. Noxxus knew it would’ve been fine if they’d just gone somewhere else. His parents considered his idea for a while. They eventually decided that it was the only way to keep their business afloat. As much as they wanted to stay, they left their homeland to live in Fotia. Their journey was tough. Both Noxxus and his father were blind, so his mother had to do most of the navigating. It took them a while to get there, but they did eventually make it.
The warm, volcanic mountain was the exact opposite of the cold, dark cave they were used to. There were also some natives who didn’t take too kindly to them. At first, moving there seemed like the worst decision they’d ever made. Noxxus eventually got used to it, though. He’d adjusted to the warm temperature, and taught himself to ignore the racist comments made towards him. With less competition, Somnior Remedies was much more successful.
Despite their success, Noxxus’ parents couldn’t handle living in Fotia as well as he could. They moved back to Nero before long, but Noxxus stayed behind. He was perfectly capable of running the shop on his own, even with his lack of vision.
