This is the OOC for the 'Worlds of War' roleplay. For your first post, I want you to tell me all about the worlds you rule.

I will go first.

Name : Arcadia

Climate : Mostly Tropical Islands, with Few Cold-points
T
echnological Advancement : Modern

Culture : Imagine a Modern Day Roman Imperialism, without the Extreme Bureaucracy or Senatorial Infighting.

Resources found on World : Common Minerals, Such as Iron and Steel, but a few strange one's, like Iron-bark from trees, Lyrium, and Stalhrimite.

History : During the first Age, There were Several Warring Clans, which fought for Supremacy on Arcadia : The Von Ayleids, The Ynovics, The Dalishal, and the Exmortis. When the Army's under Dragon-lord Aizen Threatens to Conquer Arcadia, A Single Warrior Rose to Combat him, by the Name : Samantha Von Ayleid.

Forging a Tense alliance with the Bugs of Hydra Cordatus, Samantha led the Purge of Draconis, Which was thought to have killed Aizen during the fighting. When she returned, She Rallied the Warring Clans under her control, and Establish herself as the First War-lord of Arcadia.

Sense the Time of this event, The line of Samantha that has ruled Worlds has always been Female. It was not until well into the 5th age that this changed, when Solonius Seized Control of Sabahdo. Solonius was the First Male Paragon to Rule a World.

Must of Arcadias past is in shadows. There is ruins all over the Surrounding Islands, indicating of a history unknown. Not much is known but maybe this is for the the best. Some things are best left forgotten.

My planet is not fully developed, but you get the idea.

Name: Terran

Climate: most places have very fair weather, days are longer than nights. It's somewhat like earth, except the lands are very large and connected. On the other side of the world is a large continent that hasn't been fully explored and has a lot of powerful creatures.

Technological Advancement: Olde tymes

Culture:

As for Culture, people are reserved. They do not show a lot of skin (except for farmers. they tend to wear less due to their work) and mostly dress properly and cover skin. Music is something treasured by the people on Terran. They love playing songs and singing. Dancing is something loved as well. They have a lot of traditional dances and songs. They have lots of stories of knights and magical creatures. It's pretty damn elven, honestly. Now, as you know they have a lot of plant life and food and everything. So, being a great cook is something treasured. Food and drink is one of their specialties. They make really good wine. ;D healing, as mentioned before, is something that's kinda sacred to them. They take it seriously. If you have the power to heal, you are expected to become a great healer and use your powers for good. Marriage is sacred as well. Their custom for proposal is weaving a crown made out of a special kind of wood and decorating them with beautiful flowers, most of the time the flowers are magical and tend to not die for years. The more elaborate and beautiful the crown, the better. it's kind like having a big diamond on your wedding ring.

Resources: Most of the resources on Terran are animal and plant life, as well as food and water. The metal they have most of is Stalhrimite, common things like iron and steel are quite rare.

History:

As far as history goes, Terran used to really not be the peaceful planet it is now. It was war torn and people were kind of barbaric. Now everything has settled down and they are working for peace across the planet. Mae's father was one of the ones who worked for peace. Though his Mother, the Queen before him, was the one who sought after peace the most. She worked hard in uniting the planet. Then when she died, I'm thinking perhaps she was assassinated, Alois stepped in and became king and finished what she started.

Name : Terminatius

Name Origin: One of the founding planets words for death is where Termina/Terminati comes from with 'us' being belong to. In other words it means 'death's planet' originally but has come to be associated with various words for technology as it evolved.

Age: Millions of years

Age settled: About five thousand years so fairly young compared to most

Climate : Rainy and overcast for the most part with very harsh winters for most of the planet. The islands of Ahenus are the one exception and do occasionally get sunny periods such as a summer on earth would be. Many of the rich have made deals with the crime family ruling Ahenus for better health due to it's slightly drier weather, lack of snow, and the fact it is the one place you can get full sun.

Climate prior to being settled: It was much brighter in ancient history before the magic caused the over cast sky that is now seen now.

Sky color: The sky was at one time silver gray and clear in its history due to its white star sun. It is now a purple gray and towards night becomes a darker purple until it becomes a deep blue tinted, almost black purple.

Technological Advancement : Very high, they are among the most advanced if not the most advanced as many radical scientist were exiled along with other criminals to die on Termanitius. Due to this, however, the air is not as clear as other planets and does hold quite a bit of pollution. Some off-landers have difficulty breathing in it at first.

Primary Religions: Their primary religion is actually atheism as all are afraid that through faith they may appear to preform miracles. There are a few straggling religions one of the three major religions being tech-based that worships the 'spark' of electricity as a gift of an unknown single god, to save man from nature's harshness, another that worships death as well as dying well, the last involves worshiping nature spirits and praying for their return, the strongest hold of which is on Ahenus. There are also some lingering religions that come from other worlds including one involving something most would call voodoo. The religion of Death is most popular among the crime families and their soldiers for obvious reason. The poor are generally divided between the worship of the One God, and the worship of the Spirits.

Culture : Their culture is rather rough, with those more moral being thought of not as good but weak by the ruling families. Trade and ones use in keeping their technological planet running is the primary focus, making intelligence and dexterity the most valued traits. Still the only ones with luxury would be the crime families who control money, trade, and research. They are tolerated mainly because the families give some sense of order due to the enforcement of some basic laws, though fear and pain is not below the families use. The poor try to take care of one another but most barely scrape by so charity is almost non existent. One's station can generally be told by how dirty they are, making the sale of perfume and cleaning products more valuable to them. Most terminatius are immune to disease by the time they are twelve because of how many diseases they get so most Terminati do not understand the concept of dying by disease.

Languages spoken: Their main language is a mixture of many, many different languages but being multi lingual is not unusual because there are at least twelve different languages which tend to be grouped around areas. This language barrier often keeps the poor trapped in their particular grimy neighbor hood.

Primary Race(s): The primary race is a blended combination race simply called Terminati, but just about every race in the universe is still able to be found due to the history of the world as a prison planet and exile location. Terminati's are a very human looking race except for their eye and hair colors which can be wild, with each section of the planet resembling various skin tones from peach to purple. The Terminati are highly resistant to disease, age slowly past puberty despite not having a particularly extended life span, have large eyes, and are capable of memorizing more at a time on average then a human could. Mutations are not uncommon due to their having formed from many races and occasionally magic of various types pop up without any real warning despite magic being hunted. Whether the magic comes from the other races that are collectively their ancestors or are actually a manifestation of the planet itself is greatly debated and currently unknown.

Resources found on World : Gem stones, a unique type of energy crystal that amplifies both magical and electrical energy, metal of all types, sea animals(their pelts, eggs, and meat), various types of water including some that have medicinal value, and a type of seaweed that can be used to make various medicines and drugs.

Primary Export(s) : Drugs, certain specialized medicines, tech, jewels, and metal.

Primary Import(s): Exotic Fruits and vegetables, seedlings, live stock and such for genetic material, Natural fabrics such as silk or cotton.

Important Ruling Bodies : The various Crime lord families which originally started as five main families that have through out the centuries split into various smaller ones to be more then ten but less then twenty.

Relation with other planets : Termanitus was originally used as a prison planet or rather dumping ground for criminals. It eventually became to dangerous to try and leave people there as the angry prisoners lashed out against the ships. Though it has been acknowledged as an independent world at this point most planets tend to view it as nothing but a giant slum that will kill itself off. No planet has been able to get along with the planet prior to this point in history.

Landmasses : There are three large landmasses, The largest is the main body of Argentium. The others are a continent that is covered by the nation of Aurarius, and then a string of islands called the Ahenus. Aurarius and Ahenus are both ruled by a single crime family each and are the most peaceful islands being the family ruling which ever land mass in question tends to keep to itself and rule itself. The small Continent and islands are also the richest and the Ahenus islands are the one place one can find naturally growing plant life still existing. Argentium, however, is a land mass that takes up nearly half the planet and has several crime lords that come and go squabbling over it. Argentium is filled with small rivers that separate it into various portions which cities sprung up around.

Vegetation: Their primary vegetation is seaweed and other water based plants except for on the islands of Ahenus. On the islands has the most variety which consists mainly of ferns, night blooming flowers, and a couple types of fruit trees. Argentium has very silver/grayish dirt with few nutrients and little ability to grow things and certain spots are black from a magical event and unable to grow anything. Aurarius has a slightly golden brown look to its soil and can grow some things, it has various plants brought from other planets. Ahenus has the richist soil with a very coppery, red brown look and can grow anything, it is likely the reason that it has the most plant life and may have originally been the way all the soil was before the spell. They are often refereed to off-world as the 'copper islands' for their color.

Major Water Body(ies) : The rest of the planet is mainly dirty looking, naturally murky, dark water filled with hostile beasts. The sea is the major source of food for the planet but deadly to cross due to various sea creatures with it. Due to this the ships used to cross it and get water are extremely well fortified, most people when crossing continents for family business also tend to prefer air travel for this same reason.

Pre-Settlement History : Before man discovered the planet it was a fairly harsh world with little vegetation and only two species of land animal. One was a horse like creature with clawed paws that could burrow under ground and the other a lion like creature which hunted it. Beneath the sea there were untold numbers of creatures and in the sky a handful of brightly colored birds. Violent storms were common and it seemed likely eventually even the two remaining animal species on land would die.

History: At first it was just a prison, a place to dump those that other planets felt were criminal, dangerous, or just plain useless. The prisoners were forced to learn to adapt and ultimately did, all by using the sea. Eventually the criminals separated into five 'families' and took over the rule with stolen technology the would take from the ships that came to drop of more prisoners. Eventually the crime lords would gain enough power to rule and build cities while making those outside the family mine for more metals to build. The familes may have destroyed each other via fighting amongst themselves except for one natural mage began to fight them. He would gather many apprentices and there would be a great war. In his quest for power to defeat them he would discover the crystals that could amplify magic and electricity both. An experiment around three sound years ago with the crystals would wipe out three quarters of the population, the remaining two animal species, and all the plant life on Argentium and Auraius. After this magic would become hated and feared by the remaining one forth of the planet who then re built the civilization with magic outlawed. The land still bears scars from this experiment.

The families worked together for a short time until they began to discover the euphoric drugs that could be created by the plants in the sea. Over the trade of these with other planets and travelers which could be used to obtain fruits and tech both the families would begin to fight. Soon all wealth of the planet would fall into these territorial families hands. They would divide the land into sections each would rule and continue to fight each other to expand their territory to this day. This unstable environment has made the majority poor but kept certain families and those who create weapons rich. The pollution of the factories also caused the death of the brightly colored birds except for on the island of Ahenus. The families have now organized the people in a brutal Civil war. On one side are those who wish to keep things as they are, lead by the head of the O'sullivan family with the The Quinces, The Moriorites, and The Obelisks at their sides. On the side of change, lead by a traitor to the sullivan family who had once been the next in line Fredrick O'sullivan are Salavicks, the Ukapota's, and the Bringasky's families. Fredrick has taken the last name Gilroy to show his break from the O'Sullivan family, the name was the maiden name of his mother who died shortly after his birth.
