For centuries on end, countless species have trod against the harsh reality of mother nature, yet only a relative few have managed to claim the land and sea for themselves. The vast humanoid race stands proud with this accomplishment, predominately due to the unique evolution that has matured our people into masters of the El'yssian biomes. Yet even with such an illustrious title, the humanoid race remains but an insignificant speck in the grand diction of life--a small fraction of what has been, and an even smaller fraction towards what could be.
Ten percent...
This is the estimated coverage of the world that has been documented by the six great nations of our race. Within our records, there are countless species ranging from the smallest of herbs to the greatest of beasts that reign over the seas. To some, the idea of the unknown is a fearful prospect; however, for many, the fantasy of its mystery spurs a greater sense of belonging.
Glory, fame, wealth, and knowledge...
Decades of expeditions have been fueled by the conflicting passions of our race. Yet even with our differential goals, a single emotion has remained consistent across all of our generations. That emotion is curiosity.
Curiosity has instilled us with an insatiable hunger that drives us to the boundaries of the world in search of the secrets we have yet to uncover. Curiosity has spurred us to the ruins of our ancestors in search for the origin of our kind. Curiosity has forced us to look to the future and wonder what potential awaits us still.
Curiosity is what has driven the Guild to the overall greatness that it has come to achieve, and now, it is your turn to dawn the mantle of your forefathers and plunge into a world where both danger and adventure awaits.
This is your story. Welcome to El'yssi.
For your first character, I am going to ask that everyone is a fresh Seeker (trainee at the guild). This does not mean your character cannot be proficient in other aspects of their life; however, everyone is forced to start at the same level in the Guild.
There is a lot to discover in this world--cool critters, weird plants, sinister plots in the dark, and maybe even a mysterious old man on the side of the road who just wants your help. There's a lot of content I have prepared for everyone, and once you are comfortable with the world, I hope you will be willing to contribute your own (just make sure to keep to the overall theme of El'yssi)!
If you wish to make a secondary character, you will have the option to do so after your initial character has become an official Explorer of the Guild. Secondary characters will not be required to start as a Seeker. Also, if you wish to simply retire you current character and start anew, you may do so. After all, maybe the play-style of another race might call to you more.
And between you and me, I hear there's been a rumor circulating around the Guild...something about these weird scales people have finding in some new uncharted territory.
RulesThis section is going to be pretty basic. General expectations are always in play: Be respectful to myself and your fellow players and follow RPN's rules.
Aside from that, I do have a couple additional rules I'd wish to go over.
1) Be confident in contributing to an evolving narrative--The overall goal I hope to achieve with this roleplay is a player-driven narrative. I am providing a world and an introduction to a story. But as time progresses and your characters become more developed, I hope to see contributions, both from my end, and yours as well!
2) Please, please, please respect everyone's time. A lot of effort goes into creating character sheets, integrating a character into a world, and then further developing it over the course of the story. Going awol for long periods of time, or frequent intervals of time is not only disruptive but also disrespectful to your fellow players. Everyone understands occurrences in life happen, please communicate, at least to myself, if something is going to prevent your from posting, if you aren't having fun, or simply no longer wish to participate. Your time is yours to spend however you wish. I just ask that you either give me a chance to try and fix an issue, or at least give me a heads up so I can plan the story around your absence/departure.

Personality
Please provide a well-rounded description of your character's personality.

Trinity Arts
Force Arts: Please list any Force Arts your character is capable of. Even if they have no specific combative talents, attributes such as stamina, agility, etc should also be included in this section. Basically, anything physical that your character is remotely decent at should be listed in this section!

For example, a major Water Spirit Art could be the ability to generate a thick fog from a source of water.
Please note: If you are not of the Fytali or Southern Soeri race, you will need to explain how you acquired/learned this spirit art.

What to Expect
Before you get started with your character sheet, please note that this roleplay is very lore intensive. El'yssi is a high fantasy world with many elements that will all contribute to the exploration-based narrative of the roleplay. All lore can be found in the RPN lore section linked above, or at the wikia found HERE. For your first character, I am going to ask that everyone is a fresh Seeker (trainee at the guild). This does not mean your character cannot be proficient in other aspects of their life; however, everyone is forced to start at the same level in the Guild.
