~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excogitari
From the watery depths of the oceans to the peaks of the tallest mountains,
there is much to see in Excogitari.
Experience for yourself places you've only heard in tales
and spin some of your own: as many as you please.
There are places of hope, places of hate, places of wonders, places of horrors.
Explore as much as you wish,
but remember that your actions echo forevermore in this land.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Current Season:
(I stole the seasons idea from Falconetti)
North Equator: Winter
South Equator: Summer
Players:
7/7
...This is the last time I'm expanding the limit, I swear.

Rules
-Vested with my narrator powers, I control everything except your character's thoughts and actions. If I overstep that line, tell me.
-Quote or bold my previous posts.
-I can still deny your application. I'll probably let you in after you fixed what's wrong though.
-Don't ghost this RPG. If you're no longer interested, tell me.
-If you can't respond within three weeks, tell me. I will ping you if it has been two weeks since my response and then will revoke your spot after the final week.
-If the image you put in for your character's appearance isn't your art say so! I'm willing to give you some gold so you can commission someone or draw your character myself.
-This is meant to be single-player, but you can play with others if they agree to it.
-Your character can die. Probably won't happen unless your character always does way too many stupid things all the time.
-If you feel like I'm going too fast or too slow, putting into too little detail, or whatever, tell me so I can try to fix it.
-More rules may be added.
Note:
Unless I say so, none of the images in this thread was made by me.

Playable Species
Humans:
When someone of another species stares into their eyes for long, they'll see unsettling distortions. Stare a couple seconds longer, they won't be able to move, and are at the mercy of the human...Until the human can't keep staring at them or somebody moves the poor soul.
Orcs:
Orcs are known to be strong and big. They often have black, cool browns, or dark cool colored skins that help them blend in the shadows. They have the ability to see in the dark and endure colder temperatures better than others.
Average Height: 6'4
Average Base Strength: 55 pounds
Goblins:
Goblins are often short and small. They are one of the fastest species and have sharp teeth and claws. Their skins are light warm colors, typically green. They have excellent hearing that is superior to other species' hearing.
Average Height: 4'5
Average Speed: 39 mph
Mermaids/men:
They have gills on the side of their neck that allow them to breathe underwater. Mermaids and merman can use their singing voice to enchant other humanoid species to fall in love with them. Most gain their 'human' form once they receive a sign of true (doesn't have to be romantic)affection from a human under an enchanted coral arch.
For those still dwelling under the sea:

Avians Colloquially known as birdpeople
Most originate from Konosaius
They look like normal human beings besides their big bird wings, and the cluster of feathers here and there. They have sharp vision.
Wax winged
What their wings often look like:
They originate from Aegisis
The wax winged have wings that look, feel, and function like normal wings. However, under a direct flame, their wings start to melt like wax. They can remold and fix their wings by using fire to melt them in place.
Wereanimals
Some humans are cursed or blessed with the ability to transform into an animal. Some of these curses and blessings are passed down. Those who are cursed have no control over when they transform nor what they do when they have transformed.
Those who are blessed with the ability can control when they transform and what they do while they are in their animal form.

Continents and Countries You May Start In
Aegisis
Surrounded by water on most sides except east. Many say that it looks like a dragon opening its mouth. Its geography is similar to Europe's.
North of Konosaius and West of Minia
Countries:
Pompodis
South of Mirance
Pompodis has a caste system based on elemental attunements. Those who rank higher on the caste systems are given higher amounts of respect and favors. Humanoid species besides waxwinged, humans, and blessed wereanimals are given varying lower amounts of respect and are discriminated against.
From top to bottom:
Fire
Lightning
Ice - Air - Light
Water
Earth
Blood (Outlawed)
Mirance
North of Pompodis
A cosmopolitan country that lies around the 'Eye' of Aegisis. It often engages in trade with others and it's main exports are fine and beautiful glass sculptures, art, and seafood. Most are given tolerance by the majority of citizens. Ruled by an idealistic council which hopes to make the country a beautiful utopia whilst a crime syndicate lurking under their reaches plans to uproot them.
Konosaius
Lies south of Aegisis and south-west of Minia. Composed of scorching desserts, savannas, and rain forests. Avians originated from here.
Geography similar to Africa.
Countries:
Nicria
(Lakes and rivers are usually used for irrigation, farming, and transportation.)
(Some people are banished to oases.)
North of Republic of Konosaius
There are glorious and beautiful monuments that have housed powerful artifacts. To prevent the abuse of the artifacts' power, they are only used during dire circumstances. Some buildings and their artifacts are hidden, lost beneath the sand dunes and much about their locations' had been forgotten over time.
Many citizens are quite skilled in magic. Most have a lot of knowledge on light and blood magic and/or how to manipulate sand with magic.
Not too long ago, a vengeful man vowed that he would bring a horrible plague upon the country, stirring some anxiety from citizens. Only time will tell if he will follow upon his threat.
Republic of Konosaius
South of Nicria
Appearance and stuff varies heavily based on location.
Once occupied by Pompodis and other Aegsis countries but had declared their freedom many years ago. Many of the tribes' cultures had been wiped during Pompodis' colonization. There are still some pieces of territory where their folklore and traditional religions had been preserved in secret. Discovered Mokuni and some citizens are travelling there to explore and settle there.
Minia
East of Aegsis and North of Konosaius
Countries:
Masina
South of Isolavia, West of Ocyria
The inner region is rich and wealthy while the outer edges of it live in poverty. They heavily value reputation and has managed to portray themselves as one of the greatest countries to others. The ruling dynamast, Xhaou, is ruling her country with a corrupt mind. As her reign goes on, her terrifying organization, the yinying gongeren (or you can refer to them as the shadow workers), that invokes fear into the poorer people of her land inadvertently causes some social unrest...
Isolavia
North of Masina
It is inhabited by a relatively small population of orcs that covers a wide range of the cold north. The Tsaif rules over the vast cold lands and is often well-respected. However, Isolavian citizens are rather patriotic and wouldn't hesitate to overthrow the Tsaif if they prove to be corrupt or unworthy. Traditionally, male orcs go on hunting or fishing trips together to provide food for their families.
Ocyria
East of Masina
Composed of a main island that is trailed by a chain smaller islands near Minia. The islands are surrounded by petal shaped structures that are covered by solar panels. Has the most advanced technology of all civilizations, though had isolated itself from the rest of the world for a long time. Nowadays they're introducing others with their technology to help them out whilst trying to get some materials to help expand their islands' landmass.

The Elements
These are the Pompodis elements, you can ignore them if you're not starting there.
"Everyone is born attuned to an element, what element a person is attuned to depends on their personality, who they are fundamentally. Once a Pompodis citizen becomes 16, they must come before the elemental relic to receive a symbol that reveals their attunement. They will then be assigned to the appropriate caste for their element," - Ben Windchaser, an air attuned from Pompodis.
"We are all aligned to two elements. There is the Sun element, that is aligned with one's traits and strengthens during the day. Then there is the Moon element, that is fueled by emotions and strengthens during the night." John Tonitrus
Fire
One of the main elements.
The element of rebirth and transformation.
People attuned to this element are known to be impulsive, brave, and have short tempers.
Lightning
One of the related elements, related to the element fire.
People attuned to this element are tactless and. However, most of them have good senses of humor and good intentions.
Earth
One of the main elements.
The element of stability and abundance.
People attuned to this element are thought to be patient, practical, reliable, and hard-working. They can be stiff and stubborn in their ways and pessimistic.
Ice
One of the related elements, mainly related to the element earth. Partially related to water.
The ice attuned are known to be cold and distant. They are disciplined and are well in control of themselves. They are often ambitious and determined, but can be condescending.
Air
One of the main elements.
The element of intellect and communication
Air-attuned are often curious and might be indecisive or inconsistent. Some might be restless and often seek new people to talk to. Air-attuned are quick-learners and thinkers and can be quite charismatic.
Light
One of the related elements, related to the element air.
The light-attuned are often diplomatic and fair-minded, seeking justice and harmony. They might be quite good at winning debates. They often avoid confrontations and may often drown in their own pity. They dislike being alone.
Water
One of the main elements
The element of intuition and memories.
The water-attuned are sensitive and emotional. They often have good intuitions. They can be empathetic and their emotions can run deep. They might be controlling of others, self-indulgent, or an escapist at their worst.
Blood
Blood magic is illegal in Pompodis, punishable by death.
One of the main elements, the element of terror and evil.
(Not all blood-attuned are evil, them being evil is a misconception.)
People attuned to this element are headstrong and determined. They can be quite passionate about what they love to do. They experience intense emotions and might be resentful and/or vengeful.
