I have an idea for a new plot. I tried to post this up once before, but then my internet died, so if this post doesn't explain things well enough it is because I got bored trying to type the same things twice.
"For those who dream, this is a world beyond anything that they could think of. A place where nothing but adventure exists. A world that could only be found in the minds of children or gods. A place far away from The War and where the end shall be found." -From the Epic 'Sky World'-
The world as the people know it has been at war since before people could even write. The beginning of the war had been lost in time. It has been going on for so long that fighting comes as naturally as breathing to people. People are drafted into the army at the age of twelve and no one has yet lived past the age of thirty. The two countries in the plot, Isalamae and Inolim, are the only two left after the long time the world had been at war and now both finnaly want to end it, but niether will accept defeat or a truce.
The players will be asked to have a character between 14 and 22, the average age of people, but can play a character at any age they could be in the army for. Everyone will be adept with almost all forms of weaponry and some can use some magic.
The basic beginning of the plot would be, The King of Isalamae, whom will be the king of the players, beleives that there is a weapon to end the war and wants the players to find it.
What you people think?

I'm in, so long as I can have the Destruction mage with the sanity problem. Also would it be alright if he is more skilled with magick and is only good with a spear or staff?

I like the sound of it too.. but.. as Im already involved with a war that is currently focused on finding a particular weapon *rolls eyes and grins* I dont know if Id want to take on another plot so similar. If youre short of players though, Im happy to help out. It sounds like a good idea babe.. well done!  |

I guess, but your character sounds almost identical to Catrux's character. I need more details and you will also have to ask Catrux if it is okay with him.

O.o Totally forgot about Catrux.  I'll come up with something else, though. To the drawing board! *points finger dramatically* |

I really jumped the gun on my last post. I wasn't ready and I'm sure that the players don't have enough info either. Here is more INFO! ;D
Races:
Overraces:
Humans
Gnomes
Dwarves
Elves
Halflings
These are the main races of Isalamae and Inolim. They are called the Overraces because only their kingdoms have survived the war. There is an exception however. Orcs (See Underraces) have been part of the two coninents from the beginning, but since their features resemble that of the more beastial Underraces they are classified there. On Isalamae they are treated the same as every other race, but on Inolim they are treated like scum.
Underraces:
Orcs
Taurics
Hellspawn
Heavenspawn
Dragonspawn
Of the Underraces the Taurics are the most beast like in looks, but are actually the most civilized. They have the upper body of what looks most like a human and the lower body of a 4-6 legged creature, with the exception of the snake lower body. The most common lower bodies are horses, griffins, hippogriffs, and snakes. Hellspawn are humanoids, with demonic features, that are usually quite ruthless. Heavenspawn, are humanoids, with angelic features, that are mericiful. Dragonspawn are humanoids, with Draconic features, that love magic. All three "spawn" races have wings, bat wings for Hellspawn, bird wings for Heavenspwan, and dragon wings for Dragonspawn, sprouting from their backs. On Isalamae they are treated properly and on Inolim they are kept as slaves.
As an example for the format I will put up a fake character.
Name: Dranor
Race: Human
Title: Black Mage
Description: (Physical looks. Personality. Favored Magical styles. Weapon preferences.)
For title one can put down anything. Since each persons skills are an inborn and self trained thing everyone does things differently and as such no two spells or fighting styles will be the same. Therefore everyone develops a title for themselves which defines them.

Blargh, i was thinking that a weapon master Angelspawn that escapes from slavery and then fights for Isalamae. Since he was a slave he is the master of chains mainly, but learned the use of more traditional weapons in his time after slavery. He would have no magic, but would have abilities to enhance his fighting prowess that are almost magical. Tell me what you think, and I will finish it up

After thinking about this plot I've decided to change a few things and explain others. Magic...magic will now be unrestricted with the exception of flying, teleportation, hovering/levetation, or other magical forms of transportation.
The basic plot will be as follows:
The world as the people know it has been at war since before people could even write. The beginning of the war had been lost in time. It has been going on for so long that fighting comes as naturally as breathing to people. People are drafted into the army at the age of twelve and no one has yet lived past the age of thirty. The two countries in the plot, Isalamae and Inolim, are the only two left after the long time the world had been at war and now both finnaly want to end it, but niether will accept defeat or a truce. The King of Isalamae, whom will be the king of the players, beleives that there is a weapon to end the war and wants the players to find it. He is a great scholor whom puts great faith in old legends and has sent the players to a contenent floatin high in the sky to find the weapon.
(The following info is not known IC)
There are actually several contenents that make up the "Sky World" and each tell a little of what the people who created Sky World have discoved about the war. Everything up there is advanced, magically and slightly technologically, furthur that the world down below even though it has been unihabited for many centuries. The people were supposedly trying to find a way to stop the war, but something stopped them and wiped them all out. Now the players will have a chance to do what an entire civilization couldn't accomplish and find out why everything is as it is.
I WILL be starting the plot THIS weekend so put up your character bios using the template shown in a post above.

Name: Tekk
Race: Dragon Spawn
Title: Dread Mage
Description: Tekk is a part black dragon, which is evident in the scales that randomly cover his body. His fore arms have and wings have the highest concentration of said scales. He is 17, stands at 6' 6" and has short spikey black hair. His eyes, teeth, and tounge are noticably draconic. From the base of his wings, scales burst forth on his back for a short distance, along with the random assortment on his back.
Most view Tekk as being insane due to his very different beliefs, for instance the one about him being a god to be. He isn't arrogant per say but is very confident in his abilities, and has a habit of underestimating those he is working with. Tekk would prefer to be on his own, and cares little for athourity.
Tekk is highly skilled with destruction magick, spear, and staff, though he rarely uses the material weapons.

I'll come up with something else, though. To the drawing board! *points finger dramatically*
