The Alchemists of
Asteria
[/div] [div class="textbox one"] Welcome to the land of Asteria, a land that is focused on creativity and magic. In Asteria, alchemy has become quite popular in recent years dominating over wizardry though not without its flaws still making wizardry still popular among many. Due to its high popularity in both occupations, it has drawn many different races in from all over the world making Asteria the most diverse city and the most random. Any event can take place here at any time like that day it rained grape juice for three days straight. Many civilians clothes were stained that day. Thanks to its many intelligent civilians, Asteria is considered the most advanced for its time as "technology" has not made an appearance yet. Despite its peaceful status among the rest of the world, it doesn't mean evil can't find them or others and that is exactly what has happened. The civilians of Asteria are slowly disappearing without a trace and no one has been able to figure out way until one day, a mother of a lost daughter is convinced she saw her wandering around the city late at night. But after sending out another search party for the young girl, there were no traces of the girl and the case was closed. There have been many theories about the incidents but nothing has been proven. Asteria still moves on in it's positive, up-beat nature but many still do not forget the missing people of Asteria. Even a board has been placed in the marketplace with photos of the missing.

As a civilian of Asteria, you live life under the three principles;
  • Harm none, and treat each as you would want to be treated.
  • Do not disrupt the flow of life and summon not the dead.
  • Keep your faith pure and love unconditionally.
Live life full of laughter while trying to solve the cases of the disappearance of fellow civilians. Find partners to help you on the quest to solving the cases and digging deeper on matter. Besides, how bad could it really be in such a happy-go-lucky city? You'll have to investigate, travel, fight horrible monsters outside the city, and maybe.... find love along the way. [/div] [div class="textbox two"]Species/Races: Due to Asteria's high diversity within the city, there is no restriction on species or races. Meaning the player can create any sort of being of their imagination as long as it does not restrict the character from progressing through the story. Example: A mermaid cannot travel on land unless you can create a do-able method.

Occupations: There are two different types of "Occupation". You have Academic Occupation and Contribution Occupation.
  • Academic Occupation: Academic Occupation refers to either Alchemy or Wizardry (Witch or Wizard for the appropriate genders)
    • Alchemist - An alchemist is someone who studies the art of alchemy and can create various of potions, powders, and like-wise items that can result in various of different outcomes. Alchemy is a popular method among Asteria as it has the similarity of Wizardry but does not cause the same strain as Wizardry does on the body and allows the users to conduct a wider range of abilities. However, it takes much longer for the process compared to Wizardry.
    • Wizardry - A Witch or Wizard is someone who studies the art of Wizardry and can perform various of spells dependant on their studies in little to no time. However, unlike Alchemists, they are limited to how much the can perform per energy and are restricted to whatever they studied. In Wizardry, they can perform more powerful spells compared to Alchemists.
  • Contribution Occupation: As a rule of thumb in the land of Asteria, it is important to contribute to the community by donating your time for the need of others. This can be through running a shop, gardening, various of crafting, teaching, and so forth. The possiblities are limitless. There are no restrictions as long as it benefits Asteria in some way.

Faith and Religions: In Asteria, it is believed devoting yourself to a God or Goddess will bless you with a skill or talent. There are three in total, however if at anytime the character strays from their faith, they will lose their skill or talent along with becoming cursed with a disability (EX: Color Blindness). Characters cannot switch faiths but can also choose not to have one. Common ways of keeping your faith pure is by saying your blessings or keeping marks of your God or Goddess with you at all times.
  • Asteria or Titaness (Goddess): Asteria is the Goddess of nocturnal oracles and falling stars, who was also the mother of Witchcraft. It is believed Goddess Asteria created the city Asteria after falling victim to another God in order to protect her followers from such evils and suffering that awaited outside. Asteria is the most popular chosen Goddess due to the relation of the city and her magical blessings.
    • List of Blessings: "Mana Charge" Can perform magic longer, "Recovery of the Star" When you're feeling burnt out, may the stars light you back up, "Nocturnal Wisdom" You are able to process things a lot faster at night.
  • Enki (God): Enki was believed to be the God of Water, Crafts and Creation which makes him popular among Alchemists as the base of most potions is water.
    • List of Blessings: "Holy Water" Increase the effectivness of potions, "Hand of Crafts" The things you craft are better quality compared to others,
  • Orah (God): Orah is the genderless God who is believed to be in favor of love and intelligence. However, there is little known about Orah making it less favorable among many but may peek the curiosity of the curious.
    • List of Blessings: Because there is little known about the God, gives the believer a random Blessing of their choosing with a price.
[/div] [div class="textbox three"] Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the magic work in this world?
  • Think of it as your lifeline, the more often you cast fireball, the weaker it will become. It is mostly based on common sense to avoid complex or confusing systems.
What kind of government or council has taken place in Asteria?
  • Due to Asteria's peaceful circle, there is no hard-defined government as one was never sought to be needed. However, there is a council based on a balance of the highest ranking of the Academic Occupations. Players may choose to play these roles, but cannot participate in some activities of the RP. Your character will act as more of a guide or teacher in that Academic Occupation for others.
Why can't I brew a good cup of coffee but can make a healing drought?
  • Well, no one said you couldn't. Coffee is surely an item in the world but the methods of making it would be different.
What if I want to be a Council Member?
  • There are pro and cons to being a Council Member. There can only be one of Alchemy and Wizardy, plus one of Craftsmanship (jack-of-all-trades). Being a council member means you have perfected the art of said occupation and others look up to you. You are a teacher to those below you setting good examples. HOWEVER, being a Council Member prohibits you from traveling from the city and participating in certain events. You are also limited to how much magic and alchemy you can perform per day. It was not uncommon to see "young" council members.
[/div] [div class="textbox four"]Character Sheet:
!!! Please do not post your Character Sheet on the Interest Check thread. There will be a seperate thread for Character Sheets, but here is the template to get you started as I am sure you are all excited. (I hope) !!!!
Basic

Name
Age
Race
Gender
Sexuality
*An appropriately fitted image of the character above or an imagefloat=left or right code. This is an anime styled RP, try to stay in that art style. Please credit the photos if they are not yours.
Occupation

Academic Occupation: (Alchemy or Wizardry) You can use Witch or Wizard to match the gender. If you are a gender neutral character and do not wish to identify yourself, you can leave it as Wizardry.

Contribution Occupation: There is no real restrictions on this as long as it contributes to Asteria in some way. However, you cannot be President or any sort of high official EXCEPT a Council Leader. If you wish to be a Council Member, please refer to the Interest Check Page under FAQ.
Academic Specialty: (What is your character well-known for?) There are many different kinds of magic and I decided to let people choose their own as long as they balance it with pros and cons! However, there are a few I won't allow. - Freezing Time (But you can freeze people via ice or other means) -Summoning the Dead (You can conjure, but not summon the dead. Conjuring is limited to creatures and spirits of the dead for a short time. Not titans, gods, OP dragons etc.) +Please check about your magic interest before posting if you are not sure if it will "fly". Alchemists are not restricted to a specialty, but I advise finding something you are better in than others. Ex: Healing Potions/Powders, Transmutation Potions/Powder etc.

Academic Skills: Those who chose wizardry, please list your Skills based on your specialty while giving them a "con". Try to give enough detail so everyone can better understand your skills. Don't just list "Fireball" and go with it. How do they summon it, how big or small, how much energy does it take up, max number of uses, and so forth. Those who chose Alchemists, this is where it will get a little more in depth for you. Name your favorite brews and what they do with a total of three. Now, your favorite brews can have three different variants of it. List what those variants do and what made them different. EX: Healing Brew 1. Basic - a small basic brew to recover minor wounds. Base used was tintoberries. 2. Perfected - a perfected brew to heal the ill. Base used was dragon's blood. 3. Advanced - an advanced brew to bring back those from near death. Base used was unicorn farts. You can name the variants, don't have to be (Basic/Perfected/Advanced). Be as creative as you want. "Base Used" Means what ingredient brought the Healing Brew to that state. These three do NOT limit what other options you have but other brews may not be as effective. The can be goofy too!

Favorite Item and/or Weapon: Limit 2
Faith

Chose God/dess: Remember you can choose not to follow one but you do not get to choose a Blessing.
Blessing: You can only choose one! Refer to the list in the Interest Check!
Curse: Only implies if you broke your purity of the faith.
Personal

Personality- One paragraph minimum. Bullet points also helps.
Background - One paragraph minimum.

Racial Buff:
Racial Con:
Relationships

Everyone starts out as an Acquaintance to one another! That way no one gets left behind, as I know it sucks for some people. You can become friends, best friends, or lovers later down the road. You can also have siblings but they must be characters, not NPC.
You can add anything else to your Character Sheet as you see fit as long as you have the ones listed above! [/div] [div class="textbox five"]Other Notes: Thank you so much for reading through all of that, I tried to make it as simple as possible. This BBC isn't mobile friendly but you can still read it, I'll be making a mobile friendly spoiler shortly. I may be looking for a Co-GM to help me keep things running when I need a few days to myself as I do have some medical problems, but isn't for sure. Anyways, thank you for reading this and if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them. Please note there will be a MANDATORY discord server. If you do not like using discord, please do not join. The Discord is for OOC, and side RP for when waiting on the main RP on RPN.

The Magia Librium
[/div] [div class="textbox two"]Upon entering the Magia Librium from the settle streets of Asteria, you are welcome by the calming aroma of the overgrown herbal plants that drape over some of the shelves. It looks like there are some others here spending their time wisely studying, perfecting their arts. As you venture further inside, you can here the pitter-patter of what seems to be someone running towards you, like a small animal. At first glance you don't happen to see anyone, but then you look down to see a young woman looking up at you with a rather expressionless gaze.

"Welcome to Magia Librium." she said quietly. "I'm Imogene, the owner. What brings you in today?"

The Otherkin's ears flicker as if shaking something off of them. However, before you could answer her question a loud bang could be heard from upstairs and an eerie smoke lingers. Imogene pardons herself from you as she rushes off in a panic heading upstairs. It looks like you'll have to rendezvous with her later or find another attendant of the shop. As you glance around, you see a small sign saying; "Alchemy Lab Upstairs, Magic Dungeon Downstairs". Looks like the place is a lot bigger than it looks.
You can hear Imogene talking upstairs to whoever else before hearing her little footsteps walk off into the distance. [/div] [div class="textbox three"] Magia Librium is a side roleplay taking place at "Magia Librium", the Scroll Shop ran by Imogene Pascal. Imogene is not always in her shop but the shop will always be open as there are NPC's available except during events. The purpose of Magia Librium is to allow Alchemists or Wizards to learn new recipes, spells, study on various historical events, and so forth. There is no true limit on Magia Librium's selection! If your character is currently busy in the main Roleplay, chances are is that they shouldn't be here as it's nearly impossible to be in more than one place.

Included in the Magia Librium aside from the many scrolls and books, is an Alchemy Lab located upstairs and a safe-scape magical "dungeon" downstairs. The Alchemy Lab is rather basic giving the player the table, some flasks, and basic supplies. However, to practice anything from what you learned, you must bring your own ingredients or purchase some from the front counter given it is available. If an ingredient is not available, Imogene can tell you how to acquire it (usually). The "dungeon" as she often refers it to is a magical proofed room surrounded by mirrors and has a very calming atmosphere. People can practice new magic here without consequences and nothing could ever go wrong. (Ever.) [/div] [div class="textbox four"]NPC's

Titiana - F - 20's - Elf
  • A young elven woman who seems to be pretty knowledgable of the whereabouts of certain things within the shop. However, is rather clumsy. She is a tall, thin elf with long, blond hair. There is nothing particularly special that stands out from this woman.
Vail - M - 30's - Human
  • Vail is an older wizard who can often be found snoozing around the entrance of the "Dungeon", like he's protecting something. But you are not sure what. He is rather gentle, and while he couldn't tell you where everything is, he could at least point you in the right direction.
