The Magnificent Manbeard
This RP will expand out over multiple generations of the powerful families in the city of Midgar, lightly based on the Final Fantasy VII setting. In this reality, the newly-discovered continent of Spira was being mapped by several teams of explorers, one of which consists of our starting characters. Our team is sponsored by House Solidor, one of the noble houses in the Imperial City of Archades. Through the family's connection to the Archadean Empire, our team is expected to dedicate any treasures or discoveries they unearth to Imperial customs. But Archades is only one of several dozen other kingdoms and nations that have representatives in the new land.
The area of Spira our characters were assigned included the forests, mountains, and valleys of the Hinterlands, ultimately leading us to an amazing discovery in the Vale of Myst -- the purest deposits of Magicite ever found. Magicite is a naturally-forming crystal substance that contains energy remnants of the ancient Espers, and usually can only be found near a place where Espers bodies are buried deep underground. It is extremely rare, and when someone does find it, it is usually pale blue and cloudy, meaning the crystal has very limited amounts of stored Mana. But our team discovers a treasure trove of bright-blue transparent gems, the most powerful stones ever discovered. This turns the Vale into something similar to the Calfiornia Gold Rush, and during that we set up a large camp for the arriving miners. At first, Camp Midgar is under Imperial governance, and we are their representatives as leaders of the community.
A few years into the Magicite Rush, we grow weary of being tethered to the Empire, and discover a way to create an even stronger version of the crystal, which is manufactured Nethicite. We use this to boost our sales, and as the camp turns into a village and then a town around us, we eventually send a declaration of independence to Archades, which leads to a revolutionary war and the establishment of Midgar as a capital city. We follow the growth of the city over several generations, with our characters being the families that become the new great houses of Spira.
More info will come if interest is shown.
