I know this is a lot to read, but I would request that everyone read this main post through before posting, as it contains some very useful information for getting started in the RP. The map may also be useful to refer to. It is in the heart of December in what little remains of the world. What once was a planet that flourished is now dying from its own society, very little of the earth remaining, predominately dominated by the New Empire itself. Over the past year a massive war has been waged, one that cost many their lives. Among the lives lost was the dark emperor himself. Consumed by power, glory, and darkness, Korben was defeated at the hands of his enemy, the rebellion group started by his ex-general: the Order of Lux. The Order's leader, Eclaire Tonnerre, sought to create a republic for the remaining nation, striving to end the oppression that was slowly killing their land and its society. She was going to end the destruction of elves, the experimentation on adolescents, and create peace and true order. However, things did not go according to plan, and a new evil lurking within the shadows struck. At the time of victory for the rebellion, Oryx and his men attacked. They had been waiting for the opportune moment, and arrived it had. He forced Eclaire to retreat, many believing her to be dead. Instead, she rallied the remains of her loyal comrades, as well as a few newcomers, to her cause: the Messiah. A small group working silently, they plan to somehow get things straight, from a new government that treats its society worse than before. Oryx, the demon god, has now taken his place upon Korben's throne, ruling a crippled Langerdon in the New Empire. The criminal underworld has aligned themselves loyally, though many seek their own means rather than the good of their nation. After the war, much was lost, including many of the highly advanced weapons and technology that Gabriel Stross had built and designed. Tanzynite production has slowed, if not halted, at the loss of Doctor Julius Verstand, causing the deaths of many who were dependent upon Tanzynite. Now the price of the chemical has skyrocketed, driving people to desperate and drastic measures to acquire the funds for their survival and addiction. Upon Eclaire's absence and the news of her death, Yevgeni Malachite, human in appearance and part-angel in blood, seized the base of the Order of Lux, disheartened by all of the many lives lost from the war. So much blood had been shed, and now he is determined to right the wrong and have equal blood shed by the empire. Renaming Eclaire's rebellion to the Seraphim Order, Yevgeni is the leader of the new rebellion, their symbol one of peace and a union between humans and mages. Yevgeni's motives and actions are entirely unique and his own, and while he empathizes heavily with losses, there is an odd glint in his eye that makes one wonder if he's enjoying it. Perhaps you are of one of these conflicting sides, or maybe you have chosen to remain neutral and watch the conflict from afar. Many of the members of the Seraphim Order are currently leaving Rhasolvich, after a charitable contribution to the rebuild of their village. Meanwhile, the New Empire is in a conference, with Oryx at their head. What they shall discuss is up to the Emperor himself, though perhaps the movement of the Seraphim Order, or even Messiah, is of great alarm to them. Most, if not all members of Messiah, are likely aboard the ship Oathkeeper, doing whatever it is you're doing to keep alive and plan your next move, likely awaiting Eclaire's orders. If you are neutral, I wish you luck surviving the streets of whatever city or town you're in. You can be anywhere on the map, but Langerdon is heavily guarded as is the Forgotten Isles: (All red territories are imperial, whereas blue are loyal to the Seraphim Order and have not yet been seized by the New Empire. Langerdon is the Imperial capital, while the City of Ruin is the Seraphim Order's base. Further descriptions of these towns and villages will come shortly, courtesy of Vaude for taking the time and dedication to writing them.) Note: when posting, I would like to request that everyone use the following format (or something similar) Character Name -- Side Body of post. Because we have a lot of characters I realize this could get very confusing for those trying to keep up with the RP and it might make that extra step of memorization easier.
