Solanara
Open!

I know my roleplays are known to die quite quickly but I intend to try to keep this one going for a long time. This idea stems from a book I tried to write a while back. I used this basic idea of this for a past roleplay but this time I wanted to expand on it more. I do intend on writing the book sometime but the characters I use for this roleplay have no correlation with the story, other than of course the queen. This is gonna be an open plot roleplay, meaning there is no set goal. Every character starts with their own goals and desires and where the roleplay goes depends on where we take it. There is a lot of information here. I obviously didnt cover every little thing, these are just the important bits in my opinion. If someone would like me to expand on something in some way, I would gladly do that. Anyways, on to the information!

World Info and Important Groups/Characters
Solanara
All that is known in current time is Arim's Kingdom, Solanara. It spans far and wide. The whole kingdom is surrounded by an expansive desert which no one in recorded history has found the end of and a similarly endless ocean.
Queen Arim
Arim is the queen of Solanara. She is considered by most a perfect being. Ages ago her husband died leaving her to rule alone. His death was blamed on a large rebel group named Kaszemgon. The queen has been ruling for longer than any has been alive. However, she still stands strong. She has a strong army which includes an elite force of magic users she calls her children.
Kaszemgon
Kaszemgon is the main rebel group. Most terrible things that happen are pinned to them. They hold the view that the queen is evil. Many members are survivors of attacks that authority claims was the rebels' fault. They are very secretive. It is hard to catch any one of the members and their base is unknown.
Arim's Children
No one is sure where these magic users come from. They are all very powerful and diverse. All were raised from a young age by the queen and her officials. Their devotion is almost unnatural as if they are manipulated to act in such a way.
Songbird Mountains
Three large mountains which border the north side of Solanara. The people who live in these mountains are usually flying species, fairies, avians, etc. It supposedly also used to be home to dragons but all that is left of their legacy is halfbreeds.
Tear Drop Forest
It is a forest in the midst of the kingdom which extends for many miles. It is easy to get lost in and is a common hiding place for criminals.
Hope Caves
A collection of cave systems on the west side of the kingdom. It is surrounded by many mining communities and is a huge center of income. The caves are considered extremely dangerous without proper knowledge and equipment.
Atala River
A river that runs from the ocean to a large lake in the middle of Ala City. It is good for travel.
Atala Ocean/Beach
This is the ocean that borders the East side of Solanara. Much like Sola Desert, it has no recorded ending. There are many coastal towns and it is a popular vacation destination.
Sola Desert
Few people travel into the desert. There is no seeable benefit to travelling a supposedly endless desert
Ala City
Ala City is the capital city. It is where the castle is located. It is well guarded and nearly free of crime.

Technology and Magic
Weapons
There are no firearms. The castle does have canons however They are rarely used due to the low knowledge and supply for them. It is mainly simple weapons like swords, bows, staffs, etc.
Transportation
Most use horse pulled carriages. There are many well paved paths for this form of transportation. A less common, though still viable form is portals though few have access to this. There are also small boats that travel along Atala River.
Technology
There are no computers, TVs, phones, etc. They do however have technology like fridges, stoves, lightbulbs, etc. They are in between modern and medieval.
Types of magic
Species- Species magic refers to, as it entails, the person's species. This magic is almost always genetic. Only humans can obtain a different species magic and only from a certain few species. Even if a potion or spell is used to make you look and have the powers of the species, they do not technically count as that species, and it will not pass on to their children. One can never have 2 types of species magic. So you can not be a half fairy, half werewolf even if one of your parents were a fairy and the other a werewolf. It is normally a weak form of magic. Species magic is often like how a fairy might be able to fly, a dragon can breath fire, or a mermaid can breath under water. Things that are specific to the species.
Traditional- this is just magic like weather manipulation, teleportation, general things that the person is born with. A child can inherent the possibility for traditional magic from their parents but a child may not inherit the exact same kind. For example, if a woman had hydrokinesis, her child could get something completely different that her close family has no history of. If one obtains traditional magic through means other than inheritance, it will not pass on to offspring.
Relic- Some of the most powerful magic comes from Relics. Some relics are man-made but some were in the world from the start.
Potion- Magic that can be made by nearly anyone as long as they have the supplies and know how.
Spirit- This is magic which results from a dead person. It is also commonly referred to as dead magic. Spirit magic is rarely controlled. It will seek out a vessel, normally preferring a weak or unoccupied one, such as an animal, plant, or even a recently dead body.
Obtaining Magic
There are several ways one can get magic.
Genetics- this is the simplest way. The offspring of a person with genetic magic has the possibility to get magic too.
Relics- Relics are items that contains magic available to its possessor for use. Weak relics are rather common, such as magical quills that never lose ink. Powerful relics are rare, such as a relic to control time. Some relics are made and some were there from the beginning of time.
Stealing- this form of magic gain is not easy to use. It requires someone or thing with magic to transfer magic from someone or thing to another person or thing. This is often how relics might be made but it is very draining to the person who is stealing the magic and might rid them of whatever magic they currently have.
Transforming- this is not necessarily magic gain. Like stealing, it requires an outside source to use their magic. It can change the magic of a person or thing to another. However the outside source could very well lose their magic. This includes things like Werewolf bites turning humans, or other such transformations that actually change the species of a person.
Possession- a ghost, or something of the like, takes hold of a person's body. This gives the possessed the possessor's powers but they lose some power over their body.
Potions- Often potions have a time limit. Permanent potions are rare. They do not change the genes of a person.

My characters

Name: Avalee Rinehart
Age: 23
Gender: female
Sexuality: bisexual
Species: human
Rank: She is a musician. She travels around, looking for work
Magic:
She owns a guitar which compels people to listen to her music. | relic

Personality: Avalee is very cheerful, sweet, and talkative. She loves to see others smile. She attempts to make friends with everyone. She loves theatrics. She tries to make everything she does colorful. Her excitement is hard to contain. She doesnt like to sit still. Staying in one place for too long is boring to her. She is also a bit of a romantic. She fawns over cute couples and dreams of her own fairy tail romance.
Appearance:

Not my art
Backstory:
Avalee always loved music. She would beg her mother to sing to her each night. When she was 10, she encountered a weak spirit. It offered to reveal where a relic was hiding that she could use to become a great musician if she let it possess her. She, being young and naive, agreed. It kept true to its word but she lost full control of herself. Over the years, she gained much of that control back, but every once and a while she loses it again. She also is constantly pestered by the spirit which she calls Fell.
Other:
Avalees guitar doesnt force people to listen to her music, it just compels them. It can be resisted but it is like resisting the temptation to eat your favorite food if you were offered it for free.
She owns two large wolffish dogs named Juniper and Crimson. They keep her company as she travels.



Name: Veles
Age: 31
Gender: male
Sexuality: Homosexual

Personality:

Appearance:

Not my art
Backstory: Arim found him as an egg. He was raised by the queen and her servants along with his "siblings". The queen seemed to take a shine to him. She has for a long time given him more freedom than the rest of his "siblings". He is allowed to freely explore Ala where the others are often kept under close watch in the castle until their efforts are needed. He always return to the castle each night if he leaves and seems to have an uncanny ability to tell when they queen requires his service without having to be told.
Other:
Veles keeps a journal full of little random sketches or drawings of people he meets who strike him as interesting.

I will roleplay the queen, Arim, but I am not making a form for her because she is supposed to be a more background character. Not to mention that I'd end up having to leave most of the form empty because she is supposed to have little known about her.

Poke, any takers?

This looks amazingly fun! I'll join as soon as I can get home to my laptop! ^^

Awesome! I can't wait to see your character!

Name: Meinke
Age: 18
Gender: male
Sexuality: bi
Species: human
Rank: One of Azim's Children
Magic: traditonal. *to be specific: Disintergration (when he touches something with he palms of his hands, that object can disintegrate if he isnt actively thinking about it-the husbands are usually wrapped in large bandages so he doesnt Oh, I dont know, destroy something important with hisbhands... )
Personality: very affable, but doesnt like to talk abot his more personal side.
Appearance:dark brown hair, brown eyes, freckles. Other then that he looks very average (I cant find a good pic unfortunately)
Backstory: Well, let's see....he grew up under the Queens watchful eye, may have accidentally destroyed a bunch of stuff before the queen finally managed to produce bandages to keep him from destroying the palace eon accident. Other then that, hes grown up just like the rest of Amin's Children (he personally hates the name but doesnt say it outlined loudon course). He also developed a fondness for drawing, albeit with a pencil in his mouth (kinda hard to do stuff when you cnat relaly use your hands)
Other: He can be considered average but hes relaly not.

Name: Arlena Octavia
Age: 19
Gender: female
Sexuality: straight
Species: human
Rank: Shes amemeber of the Kensog-kensw-whatever that group is called, Cruz I cant spell apprstntly.
Magic: Traditional. (nothing big, but she can shock someone by touching them if she thinks about I hard enough (or is completely distracted somehow)
Personality: Way to generous for hr own good, she works tirelessly to help others. She also is a natural leader, although it shows best when it's something to help others and not herself.
Appearance: again, cantfind an image. So think Thaia Grace from Rick Riorsans PJO series, but with kcuh longer hair and slightly darker skin. (Wanna bet who I originally basedArlena off? And no, jsut like my oc Nicore she is NOT meant to be a rjpoff)
Backstory: She was 15 ` she got evidently involved in some rebel group stuff, and since her parents recently died in a mining accident while at work, she went her own path and joined the rebels. Her dream is to one day fin a way beyond the desert, because she believes that theres more to the world then what's intneh kingdom and that no one can live forever (and seeing as the queen doesn't exactly have biological heirs.....)
Other: She doesnt use her magic whenever possible. She prefers manual fighting. Much more interesting and less wearing kn her nerves since she also feels the shock of it's a big one or multiplying a row.

While I very well can guess what type of magic their powers are, I did specify that you had to put it on there. I would also prefer you go through and spell check your form cause it is sort of hard to understand. Once you have finished that, I will accept.
