Fantasy Weavers of Light

  The four kingdoms known as Weber, Meiyo, Eldrid, and Lucian have been living an uneasy life these past few years. War is clearly inevitable, and if being killed by each other isn't bad enough, there's the Darkness they have to deal with.

  The force mentioned above. While they don't generally have magic, there is the occasional fortress-sized monster that needs to be taken care of. They're basically pitch-black monsters that have glowing eyes, but every creature belonging to the Darkness is divided into tiers.
  
  
  Tier 1: The common scrubs. They usually take the form of deformed people or animals. They only have power in numbers, and even then, all it takes is a skilled Weaver to take out a horde.
  
  
  Tier 2: Less common than Tier 1. These ones are much bigger and travel in small packs. The largest ones found have been the size of houses. It takes a few skilled Weavers to take a pack out.
  
  
  Tier 3: They travel alone and there is only of each type. Each one has a name, and each one is utterly horrifying. Each are a few times bigger than a castle, and most take the form of anything snake-like. They also have the power to destroy a city or two-- and that's on their own. Unless you're a deity or something, you won't hurt one on your own, much less kill one.

  Light
  
  Light is the magical energy in this world. Every person and every animal (not counting Darkness) has Light in them. Light acts as a barrier so people don't immediately die if they get stabbed or jump off a building. This barrier must be broken first, and depending on the person, the strength of the barrier will vary. Light also comes in different colors, each of which can affect the barrier.
  
  
  

  Red

  Red involves anything healing-related.

  Orange

  Orange involves anything fire-related.

  Yellow

  Yellow involves anything related to Light itself.

  Green

  Green is, you guessed it, plant powers.

  Blue

  Blue represents time.

  Purple

  Purple represents space.

  White

  Lastly, white is basically anything that has to do with ice.

  
  
  
  Weavers
  
  Finally, we're getting to the "Weavers" I've mentioned so many times. These are people who are able to use their Light as a means of magic other than a barrier. They can "weave" their Light into objects, and depending on the color of their Light, these objects will have different elemental effects.
  
  
  *Note: Every weaver has a symbol to represent themselves. I ask that you create these symbols here. Please use the colors according to your character's Light and please don't use more than two.

  You'll be someone in one of four kingdoms. Whether you're a peasant or a soldier, all that matters is whose side you will take. Each kingdom has it's own morals. I'd like someone to help me elaborate on these.

[Teddy Bear]

Joining! I call red and orange for my symbol...will make it when I get on my computer

Salt lord?


Is that you?


The one who talked about light at another thread with me?

 

[Smeester]

I agree - what little is here does seem interesting. Seems a sort of a mix between the elemental benders, and the power of the Lantern corps.


What style of RP are you planning on? Casual, Detailed etc?


The symbol tool you link is fun to create some cool looks, but it's tricky to do something deliberate to build up a symbol how you really want it. Plus if you hold down for too long the colour fades to white which might look like you meant ice, but not really.


For example - I made this for a healing weaver (the site colour is more pink than red) and didn't want the white in there, but since every time you start again it draws differently even with the same mouse moves, getting what I want wasn't really possible. I suppose I could put it into Photoshop and mess with the rgb values to make it more red, and manually get rid of the white, but that's a bit of a pain.

I think the details are a bit limited still to make an informed choice as to an interest check, and especially what colour to be. You mention not to use more than 2 colours in the symbol - does that mean Weavers could wield a blend of two? How do Weavers discover their powers? Is it natural? Taught? Granted by the Gods? What makes a 'skilled' Weaver - does practice make them stronger or just faster? Are there specific spells to learn and cast? Or is it their imagination that forms their constructs?


Seems there is a lot of World building to be done too.


Feel free to tag me when this is much more developed. For now, it's a bit too nebulous to commit to.

Consider my interest piqued, here's my glyph. The color should be self explanatory, white. Looking forward to learning more about this as well as the world.

Interested!

 

[Aevum]

Interested. Especially with the purple light. I'm a cosmos geek.

 

[Thaumaturge]

Erm......


Can I do some science here?

 

[JayfeatherRaven]

I'm pretty interested! Include me

 

[Solemn Jester]

Question how do I change color? For my weaver symbol

 

[MoltenLightning]

I'll have to see where this goes, but it has captured my attention. I shall keep an eye on things here, to see if this is my cup of tea.
