By the moonlight shadow.
An adventure/action roleplay.
(Please excuse the long first post.)
Welcome to the world of Hélios, a strange world where the sun never truly rises. The planets three moons always glow softly from high up in the purple skies. The soft moonlight illuminates the warm forests below- forests that cover about 70% of this world. On high rocky plateaus and in deep tropical valleys villages,cities, and kingdoms stand. This world is not limited to one type of culture or technology level ranging from tribal to medieval to steampunk.
So far in this world everything has come to an abrupt stop. The people stood in awe as the news slowly spread- that their great goddess has been defeated by the evil god Amaur after thousands of years of conflict. Nobody knows what is to happen to their world now. Some plan to enter Amaur's world, Ræth, via the Solarius tower and exact revenge on the god. Others plan on remaining and holding close to the belief that their Goddess will return some day. By seeking clues and going on long journeys to find old literature that may lead them somewere closer to the Goddess.
Which path will you take? Will you don your armour and head out to Solarius tower to try and slay a god, or will you remain and try to figure this out through a more intellectual method?
Will these people learn that 'good' and 'evil' are truly words with no meaning upon meeting the Ræthians and their half of the story?

RULES, CHARACTERS, WHITE/BLACK LIST:
A lot of ready, but taking the time can prevent you from being rejected.
First off the rules.
-Highly consider following Menewsha's rules first of all.
-Not sure whether to say PG-13 or 16. Because though sexual acts are not allowed there will be battle and violence. Just no overly cheesy, ludicrously gorey descriptions.
-Don't be a twit.
-No one liners, other then lat any length is fine as long as theres detail.
-Obey me, the RULES, and the Whitelisters, because they will be my little 'threadmods.' If not you will get
your face kicked in reported.
CHARACTERS! Because what is a roleplay without them other than a wiggling mass of useless text?
I have no necessary character sheet, use whichever you prefer. But I do require sheets of some sort to be PM'd to me/put in the OOC for acceptance BEFORE you post, whether it be a full sheet with the details of your liking, or 1-2 descriptive paragraphs.
http://www.menewsha.com/forum/commun...hadow-ooc.html<-- OOC
Also, before you make/submit check the race and village information below.
Images are nice and all, but include a decent description of words along with them
images must be a link, do NOT use img tags. Anime makes Vera a grumpy stumpy, so try NOT to include anime. If you HAVE to because you will die an explosive death without an anime pic please warn me to save me the pain and eyeball bleaching of clicking into an anime pic.
If you can't do that bring a mop so I can mop the aftermath of the explosion up.
Also refrain from stupid SOB stories, no one wants to start their journey to the Solarius Tower with an angsty twat on their back.
Runaway/former/slaves will NOT be accepted. Hélios is a slavery-free world, so using a slave would be quite stupid. Same goes for Ræthians as well.
Ræthian characters will be accepted, though you will not be with the Héli characters at first. More details on Ræthians and their world below.
You may use up to 4 characters.

WORLDS INFORMATION
Hélios:
Most of the climate described in the intro, however some parts can be more tropical or much cooler depending on location and elevation. Formerly overseen by the 'goddess' a being recently destroyed by the Ræthian god.
Races: Common fantasy creatures (Elves, faeiries, etc) Few vampires. No humans exist here.
Main cities:
Mhir- Medieval-style kingdom atop a large plateau. Home of lots of prophecy and lore. Ruled by a kind king, though there seems to be some treachery happening within its armies and royals. A little techier then other medieval cities/kingdoms due to imports from Windl.
Windl: Floating steampunk city, the only floating city on Hélios. The residents of this city mainly earn their wages making flying machines and other oddities to trade with the others. The only way to Windl is by the sky ferries located in Mhir and at a lesser Steampunk based city located on a plateau a good fifty miles from Mhir.
Tribal villages/smaller villages: If you wish to not be from the two main Cities you are free to make your own, or ask about more I have in store.
NOTE: If you make your own city, maybe include a few details on it and I'll add it to the cities list.
Ræth;
When you first stumble into Ræth you are immediately stunned at what you see. Unlike the demonic hellish world it is described as Ræth is a desolate, arctic place. Red skies reflect off of deep snow dunes giving them a pinkish colour, and the weak sunlight beams down upon flat, small settlements all over the land. As you travel inward an away from the tower, here called 'The lunarian gate' you find this world to be mostly flat, covered in small villages that seem to hug the snowy ground..and even blend into the snow.
You soon discover Ræth is a land of eternal sunlight as opposed to Hélios' eternal moonlight. And that it is a world of storms and arctic chill as opposed to Hélios' mostly warm weather.
Races: Fantasy races, anthropomorphic, Keltois (see below) very small colonies of earth humans. No vampires. Will accept your made-up races for here. Just give a reason why their here.
Earth humans that appear on this world are scarce and mainly live intertwined with the Ræthian races. Remaining humans are the last of those who traveled over with a great leader Rosabelle when earth was destroyed. Most Ræthian races are twice as tall as an average human male. Keep that in mind.
Keltois are a savage race that live in caves and holes in random parts of the world. They are everywere. They are the only race that are smaller then an earth human (average, shorter by 1 foot) they mostly have frizzy hair and long tails, tails can have patches of soft, short hair on them. They speak through body language, have no written language. Mainly wear furs of local animals.
No main cities here. Just look for one with an army base. Ræth is at war with itself , so be careful and try not to threaten anyone.
OTHER INFO:
Only to be known by the ones who go looking for information.
Ræth and Hélios were once one peaceful world. But after the world was split (and connected by the Lunarian gate/Solarian tower) by the two Gods (God and the goddess) Stories began to warp and trust began to slip especially when the tower/gate became forgotten by most.. Within a few thousand years the two worlds were enemies, their past unknown by most. The Goddess and Amaur were so enraged at each other by this complete misunderstanding that they dubbed each other and their world 'evil' and were soon enemies.
In other words, the two worlds became enemies due to misunderstandings and their own uneducated stupidity.
Also:
Ræthian blood is poisonous to Héli vampires.
Ræthians are taller then earth humans, but Héli races are the same size as earth humans, possibly a bit taller.
Ræth's snowy landscapes are due to a curse by the Goddess.
