| Post subject: | The War of the Races |
Indira(in-dee-ra), a land of many races, one torn apart by the ravages of civil war. There are three sides to this conflict, those who support Queen Elisande and her allies, those who support Durzhum, and lastly, those who support neither, but use the war to their own advantage. These three sides are about to clash together in a spectacular fight for dominance, one that could very well rip Indira apart at the seams. This is just the basic bones of a plot I've got simmering..and if you were wondering where I came up with all this, it's all for a book I'm writing. Anyway, here's some other information you'll need if you want to join in: Races and creatures: Good: Elves: The Fair Folk, they all have delicately pointed ears and bright, sharp eyes. They usually have blue, green, hazel, or even silver or grey eyes, and blond, red, brown, or silver hair. Humans: The Youngest Race, Humans have rounded ears, and they are usually seen to have blue, green, brown, or hazel eyes, and blond, red, brown, and black hair. Dwarves: The Ancient Ones, they are the oldest and sturdiest race on Indira. They usually have black, dark brown, and rarely green eyes, as well as brown, red, golden-blond, or black hair. Half breeds(mixed elves and humans): They are the results of a union between an elf and a human, and as such, they inherit the good traits of both of the races, though at a cost. Once they reach the age of eighteen, they have to make a choice of what race they want to be counted as, either as a Human, or as an Elf. Faeries Dragons Pegasi Unicorns Evil: Shadow Elves, or Zingra Shadow Humans, or Lurim Shadow Dwarves, or Vingrist Shadow Dragons, or Drimva Goblins Dheumain: A crossbreed between a Shadow-Elf or Human and a goblin. Normally has dark hair and red eyes, along with unusually sharp fingernails and the mottled skintone of the goblin unless it's albino, then it has deathly pale skin. Wul'ghirs: A crossbreed between a wolf and a tiger. Claws and teeth of a tiger, head, snout, and tail of a wolf, usually has black mottled fur and blood red eyes. Vrini: A crossbreed between a pegasus and a unicorn, though twisted to the Shadow. Four scaled wings and scaly skin, and a jagged horn jutting from the forehead. Din'ai: A twisted faery. Wings like that of a bat or dragon, and unnaturally pale skin. Has the otherwise normal hair and eye color of a faery. Organizations: Light: Order of the Guardians, or Guardian Order: An ancient organization, one that has been around since the Creation of Indira. Those with the ability to use the Elements and/or the Sources are always accepted into this organization, where their abilities are honed and sharpened, and they are also entrusted to one of the Guardians, either a dragon, a pegasus, a unicorn, or, on the very rare occasion, a phoenix. After they are entrusted to their Guardian, they are encouraged to create a strong mental bond with the creature, via telepathic communication. Weapons training begins after this process starts, and after years(some times less) of training, they are finally promoted to the rank of a full Guardian, and are then dispatched as problems arise in different places in Indira. Shadow It is only rumored that there is an Order equivalent to the Guardian Order among those who follow the Shadow, but it's name is not known at this time.. Abilities: The Elemental Powers: Fire(Needs physical contact) Water(Needs physical contact) Wind(Desn't need physical contact to use.) Earth(Needs physical contact.) Spirit(Doesn't need physical contact to use.) (Physical contact means you need to touch an object to use the Elemental ability on it, so those that don't need physical contact can be used on almost anything.) Those gifted with these powers are born with them, and they usually manifest during the teen years. One is only usually able to control two or three of the elements, though there are a rare group that can control all five. If not trained after the abilities manifest themselves, the powers are often very weak, and unable to even do minimal actions, such as calling rain, healing the trees, etc. With the proper training, one can become very adept in controlling the elements, even going so far as to wreak havoc or repair damage done to the land. The Sources: Light(Heal, Restore, Banish Shadow, etc.) Shadow(Kill, Maim, Banish Light, etc.) These two 'powers' are the very Essence of the Light and Shadow, or of the Creator and the Destroyer. Other abilities: The Elements and the Sources aren't the only abilities there are. Other abilities include telepathy, telekenesis, clairvoyance, precognition, and several other abilities that aren't fully understood. More often than not, those who have these abilities are also able to control either the Elements or the Sources, and as a result, they have to be trained in the use of all of these abilities. Countries: Duzahka(Shadow) -Cities: Kruzei, Zhriven(capital city), Priern, Shuveil, Klumvau, and Rhozem Ivarice(Human) -Cities: Tuveli, Moril, Arimei(capital city), Finrae, Olamel, and Shriev Isolde(Faery) -Cities: Nairen, Tulei, Harvai, and Fierath(capital city) Jynorae(Elven) -Cities: Turameia(capital city), Hrila, Julmas, Larinei, Faereth, and Kulina Vinagra(Dwarven) -Cities: Grizit, Dumerai(capital city), Zimrel, and Pvirm. Abyth(Formerly under Human control, now overrun by goblins.) -Cities: Vruzel, Zhreiv, and Kibel Tur'alea(Shadow Elves) -Cities: Tzirm(capital city), Wrivelu, Griveas, and Druval Zire Veift(Shadow Humans) -Cities: Zarest, Yivarn, Srilev, Karilei(capital city), and Yvane Krimzain(Dheumain and Din'ai) -Cities: Viranil, Larthem, Vinari, Krazmel, and Lumov(capital city) Ifrain(Formerly part of the Elven kingdom of Jynorae, now in ruins) -Cities: None Geographical points, such as rivers, mountain ranges, lakes, etc., are still in a work-in-progress status, but I believe we've got enough to start. Oh yeah, if you want to join, post your character using this bio template: Name: Age: Race: Gender: Appearance: Weapons: Personality: Powers(What Elements, Sources, other abilities they have or can control): Guardian(yes or no): History(Brief, please): |
