It was over five hundred years ago when the four greatest Talents of Kawlii turned the tide of battle. Leading their followers to fight back the Elf invasion, the four became legendary as it was their skill and power that drove back the Fuanna armies forcing a retreat and securing victory for the humans of Kawlii. The four legends were rivals for many years before joining forces due to loyalty of their homeland and king. After the Elf wars the Kawlii King demanded these champions put aside their differences and help him build a stronger nation.
These demands led to the creation of Flairnique The Spellsword Academy of talent...
In the lands of Tasopp those born with the gift of magic are known as talents or talented, magic is different for all races but what is the same is that one grows and learns of their talent with time and effort. Magic is generally unique even in the cases of similar or the "same" mana.
Three humans could each have a talent for fire, but how each use their magic is probably different...
for the simplest explanation let's take three fire talents from across the world known as Tasopp.
The first talented is native to Grudga, the talented of Grudga form a sword out of magic.
The second talented is from Katak, the talented of Katak form magic with words.
The third talented is from Aku, the talents of Aku form magic with spirits.
All three capable of fire magic, all having their strengths and flaws.
Grudga is different, better if you ask any from the Kawlii kingdom. Grudga is known throughout Tasopp as a land of proud warriors, the talents of Grudga conjure a unique sword made of their own mana. That is why the magic knights of Grudga are known as Spellswords.
Respected, feared, to become a Spellsword is a mighty task!
One must have control of their mana to the point they can easily form their sword at a moments notice.
One must have skill in combat and with magic to be versatile with your technique in battle,
One must have honor and integrity with a drive to protect the lands of Grudga, the Kawlii kingdom and it's people...
But even among talents their are unique cases, a example of such a case in Grugda is what became known as a Sword-breaker. In the history books the first ever was Javitaur Shrouda.
Its unexplainable as to how or why but when a talent has something "special" in them they cannot help but conjure something other than a sword. Though they are unable to become a "Spellsword" they can still train to become a magic knight with rank.
It's said the sword breakers have the potential to become the strongest in the world.
Chosen by a higher power, regarded as fate changers capable of defying destiny!
To be a Spellsword is the dream of most talents in Grudga, but to be born a Sword breaker is both a blessing and a curse.
Heavy is the pressure one feels when the world looks at you with expectations of saving the lands or destroying it all.
The oldest legend known to man is that the fate of the world will be determined by a Sword breaker...
===============
This is a group rp for four or five people, while it may look like it this is not a magic academy rp
It does start like one cause we will play out some key moments before skipping to the main plot.
To summarise this a bit so there is no misconceptions, said moments are...
The Initial test for recruitment which determines what house you go into.
Elleburst of the elements, Salvador of the Impenetrable, Azurio of the Aura and the last house being the rarest as it excludes Spellswords. Shrouda of the Sword-breakers.
first class of each year,
Three or four, five at most. To show improvement over time and characters interacting etc.
Combat competition,
A team tournament where the characters choose to form a team or is put together through other means. Either way they are forced to compete.
faction recruitment,
The best join a faction or start their own (if they feel particularly great/invincible...)
instead of joining the army like standard magic knights. While each faction is apart of the Kawlii magic army those in a faction only take orders from their direct authorities.
There is currently five factions and a potential sixth and seventh that could be made still in the academy.
(the Sixth's goal being to make a faction of mostly swordbreakers.)
I would prefer the characters make their own faction with the potential sixth but even if each go to separate factions I can make it work. Though the party being together helps the narrative...
Graduating, A ceremony, a party, then off to start your future...
The real plot kicks off pretty soon after this and since your character is apart of a faction they are called upon to participate in the coming dangers.
if you want to join you would make a character who goes through said process
(with timeskips inbetween) leading to The main story which is saving the lands of Kawlii and possibly the whole world from certain coming destuction from neighbouring lands. A ancient horror has awakened and it is seemingly unstoppable. The characters would be trying to destroy this evil for good which would be a long campaign, all the while having to deal with said horror bent on taking over the world.
The magic system for Grugda talents is basically avatar bending, martial arts movement to do magic. Though the best talents of Grudga are able to form their own sword or weapon from mana to better perform their respective magic.
So a magic knight might be able to channel his fire-mana through a sword or staff even bare hands to do fire magic... but a Spellsword able to make their own flaming weapon is a better mage then said magic knight. Their fire magic skill being tiers above.
Your characters would be from Grugda but I'm open to players making new characters down the line with different magic systems. Mainly the speaking and spirit one which can be very powerful but limited... the best mage from Katak is shit when sick and useless without the ability to speak.
The best mage from Aku cannot do magic if they have no spirits or their connection to the void is cut. You can find out more in game.
Post requirements is two paragraphs or more once a week.

Fantasy - Flairnique roster
Yo, sheet is below. You can add more to it if you want but the bare minimum I need to read to accept a character is there. Doesnt matter if you make a Spellsword or a Sword-breaker they are still recruited/chosen/forced into the team that is sent on a suicide mission. If something seems a tad...
