In SoL, the 'goals' become the drama and interpersonal connections/histories players make with each other. Plus setting in in places like a school/college for example give you a timeline to work with.

About Been at this game for a good while now. Starting RPing at the tender age of 15 back when Bebo was a thing. A year later I found myself forum Roleplaying and haven't really looked back since. Over these past ten years I have done practically every kind of RP you could imagine from Nation RPs and Arena RPs to 1x1s and Large group RPs. My last RP hobby was fighting RPs, which I have now decided to leave behind in order to pursue more SoL style Rps.
Outside of RP I am an aspiring writer, despite being terrible with words, as well as an avid gamer. If I am not on discord with the Guild or RPing in some way, I am probably on either my PlayStation or on Steam. Moved into D&D and ended up starting a podcast that has been an interesting journey.
Will update this shortly!
@HaleyTheRandom I honestly don't know what I would do without Haley. It might sound like a exaggeration, but I probably wouldn't be on this planet if it wasn't for her. She also pushes me that little bit further to be a better GM. And to also teach me that it is okay to say no to someone and that I need to grow a backbone.
Birthmark location:- On his back Birthmark powers:- The power of the elemental manipulation, Wind his strongest and water his weakest. He can't create elements from nothing, only manipulate elements around him Personality:- Kira is slightly biased in his thinking. He believes that magic people should be above pesky humans. He is very short tempered and thrives off chaos. Making other peoples lives hell, makes his simply more complete. He loves power and knows very well how to abuse it.
Bio:- Kira was born a bastard child into a small noble family. Growing up he had a standard magical education and didn't stand out in anyway at all. However as he was starting to approach his mid teens. As he went into a non Magic user school. Kira had been singled out and bullied, slowly stoking the anger fuelled hate that Kira took into him as he left his teens. When he turned 17 he had enough, now at college and the bullying still not stopping, Kira announced to his parents that he hated the humans and that he wanted them all gone. His parents, afraid at how vocal he was decided to disown him, kicking him out as they were scared at how the Guild might act if they found out about Kira's hatred. Thankfully The Disgraceful 5 had not ascended to power yet, and the book of law had not been invented. Later that year however she did, and the book had been created.
Kira, angered by the fact that he perceived The Guild trying to control his life, thrashed out and in response started his own ideology, yo overthrow the Guild and to Defeat the humans. After spanning the world trying to hire members, Kira is ready to make his move.
Back in the times of Yonder and Lore the world of Nova was filled with users of magic. Everyone was born with a black 'tattoo' like birthmark that gave them their magic abilities. For a time, the world blossomed and the world of Nova seemed like a happy place. The Happiness would not last however as soon a world war broke out, between differing magic users. The destruction of the planet was at stake, and many millions of people were killed in a war that spanned nearly a hundred years.
As a result of the war, the humans who were not blessed with magic, started to assert control and remove the magic abilities from people. Over the course of the next 100 years the population of magic users dropped further and further until it was nearly nothing. The smaller they got, the less they were remembered and soon the human population forgot about the magic users.
As time advanced, technology grew. Steam power, Internal Combustion, Nuclear Energy, Computers, The Internet and so on. Now Humanity is rooted in science. Refusing to believe the books of old that magic users existed. While humanity was making it's advances, the magic users blended into the background, living within these non magic user communities. However there was always a risk of being found out, of a magic users flipping and causing untold havoc. To this end, in 1895 the most powerful magic family; the Kaline family created The Guild. A sort of magic authority. A law of its own. Using its power it peacefully and sometimes where necessary brutally kept the peace between Non magic and magic users, helping keep their identities secret. Generations have passed and each family member has made their mark on The Guild, for better or for worse.
The year is now 2011, The knowledge of the magic users is still mostly a secret. In order to broker a more peaceful agreement, the last head of The Guild, let the leaders of the world know of the existence of Magic Users. A peace deal of sorts was created on the condition that The Guild kept it's kind in order. After the death of the old leader, a new Kaline is now in charge. Arisen to power in her late teens the first thing she did was to create a book of laws, restricting the use of magic in certain situations and making sure that Magic users kept their existence hidden. The book applied punishments rather sparingly. Except for the 'Disgraceful 5'. The new head of The Guild saw these rules as the core tenants of Magic society. As a result there were some serious and nasty repercussions that followed should a person break them. While this new head showed compassion and mercy in most cases, breaking these 5 tenants would cause a far darker, more merciless side to show.
The book of magic law was widely accepted by everyone rather rapidly, and as a result crime was low. People abide by them and things were peaceful. They were nice. However a new, more dangerous school of thought was brewing in the corners of the magic community. Kira Tenshin, a magic user born in bastardy decided that change was needed. He viewed the guild as intrusive; a bane on the magic users of the world. He also believed that Magic users should be at the top of the food chain, with those stinking non magic humans bowing before them. When he publicly began airing these views at 17, his half blooded family disowned him entirely afraid of any repercussions the guild might impose on them. Forced out into the harsh world, Kira's cynical attitude against humanity grew exponentially and he decided to form the Dark Shadow. a new force with one goal in mind: Destroy the guild and overthrow the non magic users, installing the rightful heirs of the planet Nova back to where they belong, at the top.
Kira however has been quiet as of late. now 23, he has spent most of his time travelling the world, and recruiting people for his cause.The guild have had him on their radar for a while now, but since he has been quiet and not done anything to raise attention in the past few years, people have left him alone. This has allowed him to amass a small force of his own. While it pales in comparison to the terrifying power The Guild possess, The Dark Shadow is now ready to make it's move.
The Disgraceful 5
1) Never Kill A Non Magic User With Magic 2) Never Use Magic In A Public Place 3) Never Kill A Guild Member 4) Never Use Magic To Assert Control Over Non Magic Users 5) Always Act Normal Around Non Magic Users
The Rules
The normal RP rules apply as standard. You should know them, live them, breath them.
In this RP there is going to be alot of fighting and conflict. If you are not confident in writing this then please think twice about joining. I am happy to help guide you through it if you get stuck however.
There are going to be set power levels in this RP. Everyone is going to be at different pre-defined levels. While this is can change during the RP it stops a Power Armed race.

Hi @vFear, If you can post the finished one into characters and I will approve it there. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I thought I would get notified if I had a reply, and I didn't.
Nation Name: Novan Commonwealth Nation Color: Dark Blue Nation Location: Southern Coast of the Northern hemisphere's super continent. Stretches rather far across. Doesn't go to far inland.
National Flag: Grey background with a 2D black phoenix in the center. National Anthem: This
Languages Spoken: Novain Religious Inclination: Doesn't have it's own religion. Instead it allows people to practice whatever religion that they should so desire on two conditions. The first is that your religion is not forced unto others. The second rule is that religion must have no sway in ruling the country. Anyone serving in the government has to abolish their ties to any particular religion.
Population: 197,000,000 Important Places: Druestrup (Capital City), Port Hovborg (Important naval city) Important People: Prime Minister Mauricio Arevalo, Queen Ernestina Bunting, Supreme General Leatrice Mcclintock, Foreign Minister Buford Trinidad Embassies: TBC Allies and Enemies: TBC
Government Status: Constitutional Monarchy Economic Status: Uses a free market model where state intervention is only used to stop the entire country going into financial ruin. Uses the currency the Yarn. The state however in recent years has started to introduce legislation and law which is starting to regulate certain sectors of the private economy. GDP Per Capita - 39,000 Yarn Social Status: Novans enjoy a comfortable life. With a healthy and strong economy there is also enough resources for everyone to live well. State services are sometimes strained and performance suffers. Compared to other places in the world however, Novans have it lightly
Military Status: Organised modern fighting force. Doesn't rely on conscription. People are free to serve if they wish. Military Structure: Standard deployment structure split into 3 areas: Naval, Air and Ground. Naval is under the command of the Novan Admiralty. The Novan Air Force has its own command structure. Ground forces are split into battalions. All 3 branches report to the Supreme General. Novan does have nuclear capability: 7 Nuclear subs and 14 missile launch facilities. There was a big push in the past 10 years to lower the arsenal from 500 warheads to 300. While there has been some decommissions, there has not been many. The nuclear arsenal is now predicted to be at 360 warheads. Military Deployment: The Novan Army has not been deployed in a full scale conflict for over 40 years. The last major deployment was 10 years ago on a peacekeeping operation. Novan strategy involves using small specialised and highly armed groups to make a impact, rather than focusing on numbers. Total Manpower: 1,100,000
Doiri is a beautiful terran planet which has been civilised for thousands of years. The year is now 2011AU and things are changing.
This is a nation RP which is set in modern times on the large planet of Doiri. It once started out as a group of small nomadic clans, scattered across the world. As time went on, these clans grew bigger and bigger and fought for dominance. It took nearly 720 years but the Nova clan united the entire known planet (Which was mainly the continent Ostburn) To celebrate this, The years were counted again, starting on 1st January 0 After Unification. As time went, the unified Nova empire grew from strength to strength. They started to develop better technology, pushing further and discovering more of the world. They discovered other smaller clans and took them over too. This carried on all the way until the 1700's where things took a turn.
People had become fed up of being ruled by a emperor and they began to rise up against their imperial overlords. Bit by bit, the empire lost ground, until it had been pushed out of most continents, and from that chaos, new countries arouse. The Empire, scared of losing everything changed, and formed the Novan Commonwealth, the first democratic nation in the world. No longer ruled by the king but by a prime minster who was elected. Further down the line they created the parliament. But it was not enough. One by one, the people of Ostburn began to rise up to demand independence. In order to avoid a nasty war on its home shore, The new commonwealth gave away the rights or ruler ship to these new countries on the condition that they agreed to have the king or queen as their head of state, and signed the commonwealth agreement.
This stemmed the bloodshed, and Nova still had a huge empire at its disposal thanks to the commonwealth agreements. However, as time went on into the late 1800's, it became apparent that many new nations no longer wanted to be part of the commonwealth, and either militarily or diplomatically left the commonwealth. And by the mid 1900's the Novan Commonwealth was but a shadow of its former glory. It still had plenty going for it though. It was the biggest country on the planet, in terms of landmass at least. It was technologically advanced, leading most of the technological revolutions of the time. And while that light was going out, the Novans were determined to hold onto it.
Entering the 2000's it seemed like the face of the world had changed. Many new nations had arisen and these newer nations were full of vigour and energy. Now it is 2011, the world is ready and things are about to start changing. This is where you guide those nations. Peacefully, Evilly or domineering.
So the rules:
1) The usual rules of forum RPing apply 2) No one can be more powerful than the Novan Commonwealth - No i don't have a god complex. But that way i can use it as balance, and to drive story. 3) Nukes are allowed, but not everything you have will use them. They are not to be used as toys either and that each one will take significant economic power to contain. 4)Posts will take place as weekly posts. So each post represents the week in your nation. You can report the goings on in your nation in any way you like, i prefer Media and Emails is good. 5) If something is confidential then make sure that your nation doesn't use that information in your reply... unless you have a spy of course. 6) Feel free to post in what order, but no one posts for the next week until i advance the week along. 7) Please don't abandon ship.
Nation Sheet: (Please post sheet into Characters subsection)
Nation Name: (Pretty self explanatory) Nation Color: (Mainly for differentiation on a map) Nation Location: (Northern Hemisphere? South? Landlocked? Collection of islands. It is all up to you)
National Flag: (A description at best. You don't have to provide a image) National Anthem: (If you fancy putting one in. And no...... You can't have pop as your anthem)
Languages Spoken: (Be creative, make up a whole language if you so desire) Religious Inclination: (Does your nation follow a religion? Does it have multiple religions within its borders?)
Population: (Be realistic, a small island is not going to have a population of several billion) Important Places: (where and why?) Important People: (who and why?) Embassies: (To whom which nations have embassies in your land? This will be hard at first but once we have a few nations together you can decide whether or not you want to be friendly with them and allow them to have a embassy with you) Allies and Enemies: (Once more nations have joined decide who your allies, neutrals and enemies are. You won't start off in war though. Bare in mind that both parties have to agree to the relationship status when it comes to history. If you want to be enemies with someone due to an incident several hundred years ago, you will need the other players permission.)
Government Status: (Monarchy? Constitutional Monarchy? Republic?) Econonic Status: (What is the official currency. How strong is the economy. Brownie points if you can add more information here) Social Status: (how do your people live? is their life good? or is it bad?)
Military Status: (what is the state or your military. Power. Troop count etc etc.) Military Structure: (what branches do you have, who are they under, and do they have sub-branches?) Military Deployment: (optional -- for going in depth.) Total Manpower:
Dont forget to add your nation history at the end. How have they come to be? Remember that most nations would have broken from the Nova Empire at some point, unless your nation is a far newer one which as formed from one of the original breakerawayers
NOTE: With the Novan Commonwealth, it is ok to include them as enemies etc without asking me. They are sufficiently big enough over the cause of time to have interacted with most people
Yes i am new. I am not a new RPer though as i have been around RPing since around 2009. It started with Bebo, then RoleplayGateway, and now after meandering through a few smaller sites. I am here.
