Magic is fading from our world. Spell casting is still possible but it's extremely difficult to do, to the point that any major work of magics are done by a team of casters to avoid death by exhaustion.
The age of warriors wielding the powers of the abyss and cosmos are gone, the world has lost much of it's splendor after the Magic wars that ravaged it. leaving the world a scarred battlefield with less and less beauty.

However in the absence of practical magic a new power has been discovered. To make up for the gap created technology has evolved. Steam tech has served the world well int he absence of magics bounty. Trains, lights and even primitive personal technology has been developed.
But what is most impressive is the creating of the Casters. mechanical devices that allow their wielder to fire special shells that the remaining mages have imbued with their magical powers. These devices can house one spell and can be recharged by mages for a small fee.
this has revolutionized warfare as now commanders lead their soldiers wielding this mighty weapons. Though as is the nature of such things, Many casters can now be found on the black market as well as the shells both scavenged or stolen from the battle fields.

SETTING

The Yastan Kingdom

The Yastan kingdom
This kingdom was once a center of trade and diplomacy, however the magic wars that ravaged the plains turned it for the most part barren. Many oasis dot its now barren plains that the low folk migrate to and from on a seasonal scale so as not to tax what little workable land they have.
The capital though once built for trade and culture has become a military fortress housing only those of the royal family and those who can help the Yastan war effort. Four times a year military recruitment is held but only 10% of the applicants make it through selection and only capable mercenaries make it further than the first strata once inside the palatial city.

The Holy Imperium
https://spikeybits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Imperial_Palace_Terra2.jpg
After the loss of magic, the Imperium rose up from a massive influx of political influence in their local church. These zealots do not scorn the loss of magic and instead see it as a divine decree to cease their reliance on the practice. The Imperium is no friend to any mage who practices unholy magic and they seek to spread their influence through military might.

The Zimian Empire
https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/754/225/large/artur-zima-desert-city-by-artek92-d79tuid.jpg?1432302646
In contrast to her sister nations Zima is an empire run by a council of mages. As magic faded and those who could wield what power was left became a political power the Zimans elected their most powerful mages to the council. Now the Empire has become a beacon to mages everywhere who cannot find their place in the other kingdoms.

Keirran was raised and tutored by the most brilliant mages the kingdom had it's disposal, even though he hasn't traveled far outside his home he has had explorers and scholars summoned to him to learn what they have to teach him.
As the kingdoms continued to war with each-other a thought occurred to the young prince, That if the three kingdoms could be brought together under one purpose then it was possible to return magic to the world. As if by providence the same year he came up with this theory a young girl was betrothed to him, a girl who could cast spells as easy as breathing. The prince poured himself into this thoughts seeking a way to make his vision a reality, However as the wars continued the Kierran's vision shifted from one of unity to Domination. The other nations had to be brought to heel especially the Imperium who posed the most threat, not just because they wanted to destroy all magic users but also because they would abolish the monarchy so that the church could rule.

The plot for this first chapter is heavily involved in the Yastian kingdom. it's establishing the party and their need to leave the kingdom with the princess to find out why she is the only mage in ages since the Mage wars to be able to cast magic like the times of old.
it's gonna be great, we got class hierarchys, conflict between the soldiers and the crown and a despotic prince.

How do you feel about a non-human character who is the princess' bodyguard and their life forces are bound together meaning that if the princess dies my character would die? I am thinking the race she is makes deals like this on a regular basis with royals and nobles and whatnot that it is like an inherent magic specific to this race.

AngelDellaNotte
I had brainstormed about that before.
So extra human races. the Vierra, the mithra and the others demi humans that Final Fantasy has are all tied to magic in this world. Since its faded they have become more bestial thought they are still intelligent.

As far as the life pact I don't mind it if it's a little less magical and more honor bound type of thing. since that sounds like a type of spell/curse that would require a lot of energy to bind and part of this narrative is that even mundane spells are hard to conjure do the weakened magics of the world.

but with that I think i'm goin to turn in. Had a busy first day of work and have to get up early again tomorrow. I'll write up something on the prince at some point.

Just to recap, we have an angsty thief gunslinger, an optimistic princess to be, a rash headstrong fighter, a prince on the edge of reason, and possibly an oath-bound body guard.

Junko Enoshima

I'm not sure how well a Beast master type character would work junko could you elaborate a bit?

Not so much a Beast Master, able to cull or tame anything they come across, but moreso someone who managed to befriend A beast due to the circumstances they were both in at the time. By that I mean, it was freed, and managed to remember my potential characters act of kindness.

I'm just brainstorming unique character ideas since this rp sort of caught my interest.

IejirKothar
02-24-2019, 06:48 PM
Sorry Junko but the role of beasts in this world is not something I think can work out with a critter of that size. Maybe something smaller like a carbuncle but the idea of having a creature as large and feral as that at a characters beck and call is just clashes with the whole aesthetic of this early chapter.
I just can't really see a person able to keep a beast like that tame and still interact in the story believably.
I would suggest a summoner type of character but given the state of magic that isn't viable either.
can you tell me what this character would even be interested in as far as the setting and plot?
I'm having a hard time picturing a reason for this character to be involved with the story at all.
The thief is in the city and trying to prove the viablity of technology, the fighter is trying to prove himself and join the army, The princess is the linch pin of the Princes plans for world domination.
I just need more info to work with to try and make this idea work.

The Kytan: They are what most people in the world would consider a primitive people refusing the advances of technology and relying on the old ways. Stories say the Kytan were once humans who became so involved in magic it changed them into something else. They are most noticable by the rune patterns that mark their skin, what the priest say are ley lines coursing through the Kytan and a source of their powers. Legend says that when a Kytan's powers are perfectly in harmony the markings will glow however the phenomenon has never been seen by any living being.

The Kytan are a very religious people whose beliefs have always been tied to magic. Many of their religious rites are akin to magical rites. They are a serious people who are duty bound to whatever path they have chosen. They have been known to produce some of the fiercest warriors despite their lack of technology. They are an isolated people as well not interfering in the affairs of outsiders with the exception of their Guardians who once protected the leaders of the world. Many tried to persuade the Kytan to lend their warriors to their cause but they always refused and the Guardians were only meant to protect and would not fight a nation's enemies unless their charge was in immediate danger.

The Kytan living far in the northern mountains and are a hardy people used to the harsh winters. Very few people outside of the Northlands have seen a Kytan as they aren't known for traveling outside of their mountains.

Name: Kaede (pronounced: Keyed)
Player: Angel Della Notte
Age: 20
Race: Kytan


https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/0e/07/cb0e07aaaa08d2d8b7eb83704b87fa7d.png

Bio: Born to two warriors of the tribe Kaede was selected at a young age to begin training as a warrior to follow in her family tradition. Training began shortly after she was able to walk. It was always something she had excelled in. At the age of eight she was selected to become a Guardian, something there had not been in many years. Tales say that long ago Guardians were warriors who were bonded to the leaders of many Nations. To have a Kytan Guardian was quite a status symbol. Prestige aside having a guardian meant you had no reason to fear. A Guardian's life force was bound to their charge and failure in their duty meant death. It was seen as one of the highest honors to be selected and become a Guardian. However over the years it seemed less and less Guardians were selected until they became nothing more than a child's tale. The Kytan priests said it was the will of the gods but would never elaborate on it.

When Kaede was chosen it was a surprise to everyone. Her training was only half complete but she was to be bound to the Princess Anastasia and bindings worked best when the two were similar age. In the case of the two girls only a couple months apart. The binding ceremony was conducted and Kaede moved south with Princess Anastasia. A Kytan weapons master came with them until her training was completed at the age of sixteen.

What very few know outside of the Kytan priesthood is the Kytan were desperate in needing aid. Several years of harsh winters and foul crops left them without enough to survive. Which is why the priests offered Princess Anastasia's father the opportunity to have a Guardian for his daughter. It was a gamble indeed as no one outside of the priests knows there hasn't been a successful binding in generations. They were so desperate for help the priests faked the ceremony leading everyone including Princess Anastasia and Kaede to believe the magic had worked.
