Last of the Sylvans
Overview:
This is a group fantasy RP where you and your group adventure throughout the world and uncover secrets about the world, discover magical powers, and experience character arcs so immense that Noah would be jealous, and I have plenty more bad puns and references where that came from! (please don't leave.) Anyway so yea, magic, stuff, okay you get it let's go! Now prepare for one long ass irrelevant lore that I don't blame you if you don't read it all. I go overboard with this sort of thing.​
Lore
In the year -266, the previous race of humans declared an all out war. 2 global superpowers of the Old World waged war on each other, for reasons unknown now. Their weapons unleashed what seemed like immense magical power, however research believes the Old Race had lost touch with their magical energy. In the year -229, the mere squabble awoke powers far older than the Old Race, powers that laid dormant for millions of years. Powers that had already destroyed the world and its inhabitants once before, powers that will do it again. These powers are known as the Angels and Demons.

The Angel and Demons, awoken by the scale of fighting between inhabitants of the Old Race used the Old World as their battleground. What cities that still stood were incinerated, entire countries of people caught in the cross-hairs completely obliterated. These angels and demons fought for another 229 years, and, at year 0, a much greater power, even greater than the 2 that fought, pushed both sides back into dormancy, and It retreated back in the sky, leaving the utterly destroyed Old World in their wake.

The pockets of surviving humans eventually started to evolve into other humanoid species, form societies, and become back in touch with the energy that they had left behind a millennia ago - magic.

Present day, year 683. The world and its nations coexist in peace. It's a golden age of enlightenment. New advances in technology are made, advances in medicine and science. The new people are again losing touch with their magic.

Certain societies realize this, and they try to stop the sudden advancement, to conserve their connection to their magic and nature around them. Others are progressive and support the quick development of technology, creating military weapons that don't need extensive training to harness like magic requires, making them stronger. It also makes the people's lives easier and healthier, where more people can be doctors without having to be masters at healing magic.

And this is where you guys come in! As a civilian of the Aidryen Empire, the largest and strongest known empire that stands neutral in the decision between conservatives and progressive. The empress, Olyai IV fears that choosing a side will only result in unrest and civil war between the split public. So you're here to hopefully change the world and settle the dispute without going into a full on world war, in fear of awakening the mythical powers again and ending the world as you know it.

Also, I have one thing to ask. If you were to theoretically be a person and you had to choose a side, which side would you choose? Conservative or Progressive? Answer in the poll!
 
Thos sounds interesting! Can I have character who's considered an outcast and borderline heretic for trying to find a way to combine both technology and magic?
 
So what, exactly, is Magic capable of?
Um... well, Magic is different for each person, like psychic magic, fire magic, ice magic, healing magic, etc. You are born with the specific magic energy. So say I was born with healing powers, I can cure sicknesses and heal injuries. The thing is, not everyone has magic. Some people are born without it and aren't able to develop magical powers. Did this clear it up? :)
