There once was a world filled to the brim with magic called Altaera. The citizens lived in peace as magic controlled the land and kept it in balance. The world was peaceful and held together by five magic towers spread across the land. Yet suddenly one day one of the magical towers malfunctioned and blew up causing a chain reaction between the other magic towers causing the world to suddenly collapse into chaos. Those that survived the sudden explosion were few, and many were mutated and maimed, injured beyond recognition. The world had suddenly been plunged into the apocalypse. Any animals currently alive were mutated into giant beasts that ravaged the land and any who had survived. Technology is now non-existent. Magic in this new land is very few, those who have it keep it hidden in fear, for people blame the state of the world on the magic that once kept it in peace. Those who are found with it are known to be hunted down and murdered. At the head of these murders is a large group that calls themselves the Alliance Against Magic(AAM). These consist of many powerful individuals whose goal is to put an end to all magic left on the planet. Yet there have been other groups arising, including magic users who use their magic to strike fear into the people around them, whose goal is to use fear and murder as their weapon in order to make the world into one controlled by magic. These groups are known by many names, but together they are known as The Revolution. But then there are the few that band together in order to try to restore the world to that of peace. Magic users and others combine together to try and fight against the AAM and other groups in order to bring peace to the world between magic users and those without magic, they are simple known as The Peacekeepers. The key to peace may lie in the rumors that there is still one magic tower that is partly in tact, its pieces scattered across Altaera. The hunt is on between all three groups.

This is where you come in. There are many paths to chose in this new world, some easier than others. The future of Altaera lies in your hands.

Rules:
1) One character to start. After the first week of the rp, I will raise this to 2 but they will have to be of a different faction.
2) No fighting, in all arguments my decision is final, i do my best to make it even.
3) No God-modding, you know what this means, your character isn't all powerful
3.5) In addition, magic users are limited in their powers, nothing too big, most magic is gone from the world any magic user still alive is a little weak.
4)No cursing please due to the variety of ages that may be joining.
5) Decent Grammar, I won't be too picky just no tons of spelling errors, you must be fluent in English, and post atleast 2 lines of RP each time you post.
6) (Sorry for all the rules, just setting stuff straight) Please rp in 3rd person, book format. Its easier if we all rp in the same format, if you need help I will be.
7) All characters will be accepted by me before they rp in the rp thread.
8) Lastly just have fun! I know these rules may seem daunting but thats just to quench possible arguments down the road. The main goal is just to have fun rping!

Race options:
Human/Nonmagic User(NMU): These are your nonmagic users. Due to the apocalyptic world everyone pretty much as some sort of specialty that keeps them alive through all the mutated creatures and other survivors who are a threat on a regular basis.
Mutant: These people have been mutated in some way that favors them for survival. From wings, to claws, to abnormal growths and features, they have some special trait that was caused by the chemicals/magic released in the explosion that helps them survive. They are outcasts, many are looked down upon by both magic users and nonmagic users.
Magic User(MU): They are all in hiding, they each have a special ability that is unique to them. Due to the lack of magic they are weak and can barely defend themselves through magic alone so they usually have some sort of other trait as well.

Lopai's Characters:
Colbria Nathair (Colby)

Age: 13
Race: Mutant
Sex: Femanle
Mutation: Instead of having legs she has a long, green and scaley snake-like tail that ends like that of a rattlesnake but his strong and muscular like a boa's. She also has a flap of skin on either side starting just beneath her shoulder and ending at her hip (kinda like a cobra hood) when in a normal mood this flap lays flat against her body, but when she is mad the "hood" splays out revealing bright orange and gold patterns on the underside of the flap.
Other Abilities: Her nails are pointed like small claws and she has a pair of snake-like fangs which are filled with a hallucinogenic and pain-numbing venom. She has an incredible sense of smell and uses her tongue like a snake to help her smell things. Her bright yellow eyes narrow to slits when dilated, she has pointed ears (like an elf) and her tongue is long, thin and forked.
Alignment: She used to be revolutionist but left because everyone was scared of her and she hates both fear and death equally. (I'll explain precisely why she left in the RP)
Personality/info: She is dry, sarcastic and takes a long time to warm up to anyone. Once she does there is no way she is abandoning you. She dislikes it when people are hurt but never has any idea about what to say to the injured person. She is suspicious of pretty much everyone and is generally very rude about it due to people being terrified of her mutation.
Bio: I'll tell you in the RP because I haven't hammered out the details yet :p
Other: She hates sweet food, when everyone meets her she is wearing a huge brown cloak, concealing her entire body (Except the tip of her tail) and she thinks she is the only mutant (until she meets everyone else)


Kosa's Characters:
Raven

Age: 17
Race: Human/Nonmagic User
Sex: M
NMU specialty/weapon?: Uses a simple black bow and black arrows, pretty accurately and in fast succession. Makes his own arrows as replacements but takes a while. Might have a small knife or dagger but not sure of that yet.
Other Abilities/weapons:
Mimic- He is good at copying people's voices and gets better as he hears more of them. He already has almost master proficiency of a male and female voices of unknown origin (to everyone else) up to the point that he can switch between the two and his own voice with ease so it seems that there is a flawless conversation between three people. However he says that he will never copy the voice of a child...
Light/Stealthy Walker- He can move really quietly so sometimes he may arrive behind your shoulder and you wouldn't know
Alignment: Neutral, but will become a Peacekeeper, and work in a group (ironic)
Personality/info:
Raven is a very unemotional person with a reserved personality. He rarely shows emotions though bursts of those can come about under certain rare circumstances. He is a major loner, not hostile but liking to stay away from people, thinking or brooding. Despite this he wouldn't wander off or leave characters he is with. Also he will pitch in into conversations/discussions and missions but don't expect him to be open about what he is feeling, his past or anything personal. Also while Raven is reserved he may show kindness and signs of caring toward younger characters (maybe the young acting/ carefree types as well). He is quiet but reliable, logical too. Also while there is the whole huge thing against mutants he is okay with them. It doesn't mean he will be nice or wouldn't avoid them but he will avoid them because he avoids people in general and not because of the mutation. This does not extend to mutated animals whom he has a deeply rooted dislike. He often has a sad or melancholy air around him.
Appearance:
(He is not as feminine as this image makes him look)
Raven wears black simple clothing that is comfortable and does not hamper physical activity(in the picture he is in a t shirt but he has something with long sleeves for cold weather). He has long hair usually kept in a braid down his back but the tip only comes down to the middle of the back unlike in the picture. Also it doesn't stick out so much and there is locks of hair hanging over his shoulder though the braid sometimes does that. His bow and arrows (black) are kept in a quiver on his back. Besides that he sometimes he wears a leather backpack in which he stores necessities such as food, water, a blanket, and other things needed to survive. Around his neck is a thin silver chain with a silver oval pendent dangling from it, the sort of opening locket you put pictures into. (it's really the only deeply personal thing he has.) DO NOT TAKE IT! Do not touch it. Do not come near it. Do not even look at it too closely. Otherwise you will end up in trouble, he is very protective of the thing
Bio: Before the explosion Raven lived as a member of a family of four. He had a mother and father, and a younger sister El, who was blind. No matter what happened they always stuck together and were happy. His parents died due to the explosion and he was left taking care of El. He did and never let her know they where gone. Even when she received a fetal wound from a mutant animal in the forest and was wasting away she thought her parents were at her side. After El's death Raven was left all alone in the world with only his past for company.
Other: He is deeply stuck in his past, and it's almost constant presence makes it difficult for him to be friendly or to act cheerful. He estranges himself from others so as to not to burden them/ hurt them and so he wouldn't have to trust and form relationships with others and hurt himself further (I would like to actually change that so he could be a bit more open and make friends).

Updates/Announcements!

Hey everyone! This will now be our thread for updates. Keep a lookout here for new and interesting things and updates.

5/20/15: Hey everyone! We now have five people in total! YAY! I will look for one or two more. If we get one more before saturday we will start early, but if we only get one more I will start this on Saturday since I am off work early and also have Sunday off. If we get one today or tomorrow then we will start this Thursday when I am also off work.
I have also decided to limit the amount of magic users in the rp due to the circumstances. Until further notice there can only be 7 magic users, others will be there as sub-characters i will create during the course of the game to help fill out the other groups. I don't think this will be a big issue with since we don't have too many people so don't worry too much about it. This number will most likely increase further on in the rp, remember keep looking here for updates!
Finally I am working on creating the post with all our characters so we don't have to scan if we want to look for information on a character. I may ask for some things from you if I can't get pictures to work or something so just a heads up!

Accepted! :D
Just remember the limitations of magic in this world so the magic will be weak. So anything that is summoned will be of very little quantity or very small. Atleast as of now until magic is returned back to the world, but that is explained throughout the rp once we get there.
