REGISTRATION CLOSED!

Hello there! Welcome to the living hell that is Tulse's island. This place is mostly owned by 4 major factions where most of them force their citizens to live terrible lives. Your point here is...well...whatever you want it to be. You can go ahead and change the situation IF YOU WISH. This island is, in fact, your garden til the end of time. You might aswell just drink beer in a random tavern, but that wouldn't be alot of fun...or would it?

Here's how the island looks:

Lore and important info:

Tulse's Island is an...island...that has a magical dome all around it which doesn't allow anyone to see the island, detect it, hear it, e.t.c. Also this dome doesn't let anyone inside or outside the island, even if God himself would happen to get here somehow, he could never get out. Nobody knows how this dome got created or how someone even got on the island.

People here each have their own element, it really doesn't help much if you don't use magic, however, if you do, it makes the magic of the same element easier to learn. Technically everyone can learn any kind of magic, but using the magic of the same element as yours just makes everything easier.

And yes, there's magic in this island. Every person has this thing called 'Mana', which basically equals 'magical strength'. Mana is what magical spells drain from you when you use them, if you run out of it and keep using spells, they start draining your blood and lungs, which either immediately kills you, or does permanent damage to your body. Everyone has different amounts of mana, some have more, some have less, some don't have any mana at all. The only way you can tell how much mana you have is by using spells, which is rather risky. It regenerates automatically, most people can regenerate their mana within 3 minutes.

The more powerful the spell is, the more mana it drains.

The magic in this island ranges from simple fireballs to telekinesis to generating and enchanting all sorts of items. However, a lot of people try to refrain from using magic because it's a big risk. Here's why: Anyone can use any kind of magic, a fire elemental person can learn how to use water magic and dark can learn how to use light (though it takes longer time to learn it). The problem is that you don't know when you use too much until it has already drained all the life out of you or done permanent damage to you. Because of this, most people who try magic for the first time immediately die.

Speaking of mastering magic, it takes a while. Mastering magic of the same elements as yours can take weeks to master, mastering magic of different elements takes MUCH longer than that...

The game:

Now to the fun part: Your character will have the most basic RP profile setting possible. When you give me your character, I add a bit of plot to your situation and we continue from there.

Application sheet:

Location: [Choose a city or an area]
Money: [Don't fill this up]
Character's Name and surname: [Or just name if you can't come up with a surname]
Appearance: [Imagine needing to tell this to someone drawing your character]
Personality: [I'd love this to last at least 1 entire line]
Biography: [Your job, history, opinions of the current situation, hobby, any important people, any other kind of important information]
Element: [Choose one: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Poison, Ice, Dark, Light, Physical, Void]
Magical skills: [Mention any magical skills you have]

Elements:

You may have noticed that there are 2 elements that differ from the usual ones. Light, wind, fire, and all of those look very usual and easy to understand, however, you may have some problems understanding these 2: physical and void elements. Let me explain:

Physical is the only element that doesn't have any magical skills that can be learned faster, meaning that no matter what the skill's element is, you will have to spend some time on it, however, people with the physical element
tend to be stronger than everyone else.

Void is an anti-magic element. It's used to destroy any kinds of magical enchantments, barriers, shields, particles, e.t.c. However it doesn't damage anything that's created by nature, this means that even though void destroys magic, it doesn't damage your physical body whatsoever, and considering that mages aren't very common to begin with, void can be announced as the weakest element of all.

Every element has a particular set of skills, technically you can use every element for every type of magic, you can use fire to heal, dark to create light, e.t.c., the only thing is that some elements are more effective for some kind of magic than others (for example, fire is better for fireballs, dark is better for making people blind, water, earth and light are better for healing).

Same elemental spells don't damage each other (Forexample light spells don't damage light elemental barriers and using fire against fire just makes more fire).
Exceptions: Ice doesn't damage water, water doesn't damage ice, physical can damage itself and void doesn't damage physical.

Factions:

Now the factions, you can choose which one you support the most by mentioning it in your biography or you can just not care about it at all...

Crusaders:

http://i.imgur.com/ITptdvZ.jpg

In the beginning they had the best of intentions, however, after their leader became powerful, he became arrogant and hypocrytical. Because of this he started forcing every citizen to pay monthly fees and do everything for him. People intended to leave the land, however, the Crusaders have been placed all throughout the frontiers making it impossible for the citizens to leave. The land overall has alot of treasure making it the second richest on the island.

The Crusaders are neutral with Clarity and enemies with Vermile's Empire and the Guardians.

They own around 50% of the sea area around the island.

Guardians:

http://i.imgur.com/Cpg0WiJ.jpg

The only faction that actually has good intentions. The purpose of Guardians is to evacuate every citizen in any warzone to their teritorry. They wish to save everyone from the war by taking all the land for themselves and then making sure nothing like this happens ever again. They have the biggest amount of people of all factions, however they don't have enough money to simultaneously defend themselves and keep all the people in the land alive, making them a very poor faction.

The Guardians are enemies with the Crusaders and Vermile's Empire and neutral with Clarity.

They've taken over land in a way that they can connect with all the other factions and making it possible for people to evacuate in their lands

Clarity:

http://i.imgur.com/aGjAsj6.jpg

The worst faction in terms of land, but the best in terms of diplomacy and money. They intend to get a friendly relationship with every faction and then take over their lands and people. They've already managed to become allies with Vermile's Empire and are currently trying to become allies with the Crusaders. Thanks to their diplomacy, they can travel through the lands of Vermile's Empire without any issues and that way they can communicate with each other on both sides of the island.

Clarity is allies with Vermile's Empire and neutral with the Crusaders and the Guardians.

Their land is split in 2 parts that are both located on both opposite sides of the island, that's why their priority is keeping a friendly relationship with Vermile's Empire so that both of the sides can communicate.

Vermile's Empire:

http://i.imgur.com/SXG77Mr.jpg

Vermile himself is good at leading and tactics. He owns almost 50% of all the land and has the strongest army. He considers Clarity as his puppets since they do anything he says and he allows them to travel through his large landscape in return. He intends to take all the land and money for himself. He uses most of his money for his and his army's well-being and weapons, does not spend money on food for his citizens, however, unlike Crusaders, does not force his people to pay monthly fees and work for him.

Vermile's Empire is allies with Clarity, unfriendly with the Crusaders and enemies with the Guardians.

Not only does he own almost 50% of the land, but 50% of the sea around the island aswell.

Other:

This isn't really a faction, but more like a piece of land with a couple minor leaders who don't intend to take over anything. They have neutral relationships with all factions, allow them to pass through their land, but don't allow them to fight each other in that land. They mainly focus on keeping everyone on their land happy by keeping them as far away from any kind of war as possible, they're doing a somewhat good job at it.

This is the way factions are distributed on the map:

As you can see, cities like Scrive, Erglania, Brance, Sulde, Candove, Ettania and Aucenia suffer huge inconveniences because they happen to be right between factions that are enemies with each other, everyone living there is not happy and is trying to get away, however the armies of most of the factions don't allow them to.

Alot of questions you have about the plot, people, magic, e.t.c might get answered while you're in your journey.

So, to those of you who are still reading this...good luck...I guess...

"No, we're simply a pair of travelling merchants. We were ordered to deliver you to Vermile a month ago, however, those 6 soldiers that brought you to us were so slow that only now we can do our task. Our payment for this errand has probably lowered to 20% from the original by now! Curse those ignorant soldiers!" the merchant says in a quiet tone.

Zexed (wookie1196)

The woman looks at you with such a facial expression, it's beyond obvious that she's laughing at you. She then simply opens the door and leaves.

"I wasn't really talking about that. I'm just curious - why do they want to kill you so badly? Just because you disobey them? More importantly, what's up with the graveyard outside our house? There's like 20 corpses of Crusader soldiers outside our house. Don't tell me your wind magic is this powerful." says your foster father.

Jake Nero (JACKinbigletters)

As you enter their territory, a person approaches you. This person seems to be wearing white armor with a red cross on the chest. Usual Crusader soldiers have red armor with a white cross, so this person is obviously on a higher rank than a standard soldier.

"Hello, there! What are you here for, old chap?" says the man.

"Got any guess as to what Vermile wants with me?"

"Dad, if my wind magic was that powerful, do you think I would be injured? It was some weird knight In black armor who had bright green eyes." I say as I try to stand and test my balance.

I slightly smile to the man, "Actually I have a few questions for you, you seem to be quite knowledgeable and wise, I was wondering about this man, I've been hearing rumors that he doesn't take peoples sides, heard he been causing much stress for us. Do you know anything about him?"

"Well, most of the time, whenever he asks us to "deliver" someone, it usually means he wants them to be sentenced to death. Most of the time!" he says interrupting himself. You then start hearing horseshoes, meaning you're moving forward again.

Zexed (wookie1196)

"Huh...I haven't seen anyone like that in our town. Well, let's hope we don't encounter him. Also, in regards to the shop, the owner's family told us that they don't want to deal with the shop by themselves. "Give the shop to his assistant, he can take care of it." they say. Do you wish to take care of this merchant's shop?" says your foster father. Judging by his facial expression, it seems like he wants you to agree.

Jake Nero (JACKinbigletters)

"Ah, that is one of our soldiers. He's quite the choleric one. What sorts of inconveniences has he caused to you?" asks the man.

You notice that a lot of the Crusaders around you are looking at you weird. You recall some of them being ones that have caused you issues a couple times before this. You then notice a couple slowly approaching you. They're approximately 2 minutes away from you.

"Yes I would. I'll stop by their house tomorrow if I feel better to pay my respects." I say as I lay back down to get some rest.

I notice the guards and then smile once more, "Just one more question, you said he was one of yours? The last I spoke to him he said he didn't work with any of you... Besides that he seems to be pretty decent."

As you say those words, you feel very sleepy and pass out.

Some time passes and you wake up once again. The rain is still heavy as you hear loud particles falling on your roof. You look outside the window and see that it's an evening. While it may be dark, it still isn't that dark. It seems like nighttime has yet to come.

Despite the fact that you just woke up and are heavily wounded, you feel very energetic. You feel capable of standing up and even running.

Jake Nero (JACKinbigletters)

"Very well, let's consider that what you're saying is true. What sort of benefit does this give you? Surely you're not helping us because you like our faction. Nobody likes us, and for a good reason. We're not only disrespecting other factions, but our own people as well. Technically we, the Crusaders, are the worst faction." he says as his face quickly shifts to suspicion.

The soldiers approaching you are approximately 90 seconds away.

"Actually he is helping you, he said to give you this, put your arms out..." I nod for him to do it, if he does I toss the body into his arms, "He said it was a gift or a warning or that he was just returning what was yours, I can't quite remember." I say with a sly smile before running off down into the crowded street.

You head out to the shop owner's family's home. He has escorted you there many times for you to deliver him products from there to the shop, therefore you know where his family lives.

You see the merchant's wife standing outside of the house. She seems to be arguing with the mage in the red dress who healed you earlier. The mage notices you, says her last words to the shop owner's partner and leaves immediately. The merchant's wife then immediately notices you. "Ah, you are my husband's assistant. I've been waiting for you, please come in." she says in a quiet and depressed tone.

Jake Nero (JACKinbigletters)

The man raises up his arms. As you lob the body in his hands, he becomes confused. By the time he's about to ask you another question, you're already in the middle of the crowd and it doesn't seem like anyone is following you.

i find myself smiling to strangers as I wander through town, taking an indirect rout to the pub to try and ensure people don't follow me.

"I've been expecting for you to come. From what I understand, you're here to discuss some things about my husband's shop?" she continues talking in the depressed, quiet tone.

"Also! Would you like some tea? Or maybe wine, perhaps?" she then says.

Jake Nero (JACKinbigletters)

You successfully managed to reach the pub without any issues, however, you see 3 people approaching the pub from a different location. They all wear red clothes and a white cross on them. Obviously Crusaders, once again.

These 3 don't seem like ordinary Crusaders though, as two of them are wearing robes and one is wearing armor, however, he seems to be around 7 feet tall, very heavy. Holds a mace in his right and an axe in his left hand. The ones wearing robes don't seem to be holding anything.

These 3 seem to be battle ready and it seems like they're planning to start a ruckus inside the pub.

"Tea please. I do have a few questions. I only know a few of your husband's supplies, so if I co get a full list of them that would help. I would also like to give you a portion of the profits if that's okay with you. Also, did you or your husband know a knight with black armor and green eyes?" I ask her inquisitively.
