A quick reiteration of the rules:
Your characters can be pretty much anything you want, as I haven't really figured out the specifics for the Races of Reason. Humans, dwarves, elves, pretty much anything you'd find in a Tolkien novel can be used, or you could play as a made-up race as long as it fits the setting (i.e. no unicorns or pixies).
1. No racism, sexism, homophobia or other prejudice.
2. No NSFW content. Kissing and hugging are allowed, and so is sex - BUT ONLY IF IT IS OFFSCREEN. (The sex, not hugging and kissing )
3. There will probably be a lot of death and gore in this RP. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
4. Don't create a character if you are never going to use them. Make sure you will be able to make time to RP in this before joining.
5. This is a Paragraph RP. That means that in each post you must use a 3 SENTENCE MINIMUM. Don't just say "He shoots the guy and runs away". Actually take the time to explain your character's thoughts and what they are doing.
6. Please, please, please do not break the fourth wall. It's annoying and grinds the action to a halt.
7. You can be edgy if you want, just don't be over-the-top about it. I don't want to open up that can of worms.
8. Have fun!
Don't make a character if you didn't already sign up.

Backstory:
Example: (Character Sheet for the Imperion, the character I will be playing.Totally not a Mary Sue.)
Name: Imperion
Gender / Pronouns: Unknown / "It / It's"
Race: God / Unknown
Appearance: The Imperion is somewhat hard to describe. It has a vaguely humanoid form made out of a chrome metal that gleams with its own internal light. Its blank, flat, mirror-like face gazes out into the world, emotionless and oddly disquieting. It floats an inch or two off the ground at all times and does not appear to require sustenance or sleep. It speaks in a grainy, soothing voice that puts the mind at ease.
Skills / Mundane Traits: It seems to be adept at all kinds of pleasant social interaction, pacifying the most dire opponents and talking circles around the best of tricksters and word-players. Whether these skills are augmented by magic or not is up to debate. The Imperion has not displayed any kinds of intimidation or deception skills, and its recipients can still refute its words. Its other skills are unknown, as it uses its magic to get most things done.
Magic / Mystical Traits: The full extent of its abilities are unknown. If this being truly is one of the Imperion, the ancient gods who created the world of Ion and then abandoned it, then it may very well possess magicks much stronger than any being on the planet. It seems to be highly resistant, if not outright immune, to most kinds of damage - this includes mundane (sword & bow, tooth & claw, etc.), environmental (frost, heat, high winds, etc.) and many types of magic. It is believed that it can die, however - it would just be extremely hard to do so. It has powerful psychokinetic abilities - if not already evidenced by its constant levitation, the Imperion can telekinetically manipulate objects and people. If in danger, it can pulse searing arcs of light from its body, burning away those who would dare to harm it. It is no wonder many people consider this being to really be an Imperion.
Backstory: Nobody knows the origins of this being. If it really is an Imperion as it claims, then it was likely involved with the creation of the world. It has not detailed what happened to the rest of the Imperion in the time between the Great Betrayal and the arrival of itself, or how many of its kind are left, or why the Imperion left in the first place. All anybody knows is that a giant white arc of light crashed down in the decrepit structure known only as Glassdome, leaving a large crater where the complex had formerly been. From out of it emerged the Imperion, who began to spread word of its return and how it would return the world back to what it once was. A small group of followers would begin to spring up about this new messiah, this bringer of harmony. Others would resent this being either for believing it to be a lie, or because of how the Imperion had betrayed them in their hour of need, and now sought to take the world back.
(Note: May or may not play out the above section in the game depending on how people feel about it.)
Roles That Can / Have Be Filled: (To be continuously updated)
You can play a loner if you really, really want to. But I'd prefer if you didn't. Your characters are completely up to you, but I don't want people straying too far from the narrative and going on a bunch of sidequests. I'll politely put up with one or two lone wolves, but if everyone's doing then there's no point of even having the Imperion in the game. I'll try not to railroadtoo much, but you'll probably get sucked into the conflict regardless. If you are a loner mercenary who doesn't care about the conflict then you may get hired by either side of the conflict to fight the other side. Look, the point is that you can but shouldn't play a lone wolf that serves no purpose to the plot because... well, because they don't move the plot forwards. Don't want to be an authoritarian jackass about it, but that's my final word.
