A Little Broken
This world is partly inspired by a novel by Glenda Larke (The Isles of Glory) but not a direct copy. I'm hoping those who join can help grow and shape it. I will select 3-4 if more people apply.

The World
A land where each nation is very pure in their breeding. For example one land may all have brown hair with green eyes etc. ( EXAMPLE: you may never see someone with blonde hair and green eyes unless they are Halfbreeds). Being a halfbreed is to be born with no rights. They can stay in no place for more than 3 days as they have no citizenship to any land. Registered Halfbreeds are sterilised so they can not breed and are often abandoned by parents as it is illegal to breed with that of another 'race'.

The Nations
The Kea – A group of Elven like people. They are ruled by a fair few monarchies that live in this land and often marry off children to each other for political reasons. Many Keas have illusionary powers that are often used to make themselves beautiful, though can be used for other illusions. Rarer are those that have healing abilities.

The Northams – These people are very politically minded and the biggest nation. Run by a government that is always looking to expand and form alliances. These people often police the different lands. They are seen as the law and their law stands in most lands, although not in Kea. Some Northams may have powers that control people to a degree. They can place ideas in the heads of others though they cannot force it. Northams are the hardest on Halfbreeds.

The Kel - This is a small group of people who live off the land. They only eat what dies naturally, otherwise they rely on a vegetarian diet. These people rarely leave their land and do not know much about what goes on outside of it. Family and their rules are very important to them. Divorce is seen as something worthy of being excluded from the land, though that does not mean they are necessarily shunned completely by the people. Everyone in expected to care and protect and share all they have with each other in order to keep everyone alive and healthy. Large families often live together and most everyone owns a farm or a trade. The Kel have a strong sense of smell, they can smell base emotions and sickness when close by as well as general smells from a great distance. They are able to smell when others use their abilities.

Nylos - Nylos are heavily religious and will murder and imprison those who go against their ways. Visitors too may be punished with death if they are deemed to be tempting believers into sinful acts. Things like gambling, sex out marriage and drinking are deemed to be sinful. All believers must wear heels to keep themselves off the dirt of the Earth and all are tattooed on the palm of the hand to show their religion. Nylos hold no magical abilities.

The Spit - A small island owned by no nation. It is where you'll find many ruffians, Halfbreeds and poor. The rule banning Halfbreeds of owning land still applies here and they may not stay longer than 3 weeks.

Within these lands
The Northams and the Keas are large nations with many places, cities, towns and islands under their reign with their own cultures who would have been their own land in the past. Many of these will have their own looks that are deemed to be their race. Feel free to take some creative liberties with this.

Anyone from any land may be born as Aware but they are very rare. Aware are people that can see others magic in the form of colour and cannot be tainted or fooled by it. Other than this they hold none of their own magic. These people are both hated and coveted by authorities, particularly the Northams as they cannot be controlled but may be useful as spies and the like.

Another type of magic that may be born from any kingdom is those with Dun Magic. These people can taint, torture, form illusions and create servants out of others by tainting them. Those with Awareness are not affected by their magic. These people super rare but are able to turn others into Dun users by tainting them with the magic over time. The only way to overcome the tainting is to cut of the infected body part before it spreads. Those with healing abilities are able to slow the tainting but cannot get rid of it or stop it indefinitely.


I am happy for people to introduce new Nations if they wish as well as powers but please keep them from being OP.

Let me know if your interested and post some character sheets!

I am interested, though am curious in knowing if you want a dark rp or a bright rp. (AKA characters that are morally questionable or morally unquestionable)
 
There would definitely be morally questionable characters. How dark it got would be dependant on who was involved but I wasnt intending for it to be a bright happy rp.
 
I have one question:

What is the status of slavery and prostitution? If no prostitution, then is there, at the very least, fighting pits/arenas where slaves get to fight?
 
Prostitution definitely exists, especially in The Spit. None of the places mentioned in my post have slavery within the law but seedy people exist and thus illegal slavery would especially on the sea.

Otherwise as stated, you can suss out a new nation if you like and perhaps they have legal slavery.
 
Mhm... I can already guess one way the halfbreeds can stay at the one place. Atleast as long as they look attractive they will be able, that is.
 
Although many people wouldn't consider halfbreeds attractive, there is a chance of that yes.

Maybe the half Bree is atteactkve because no one knows?

So if a new. Action pops up does it have to have a half breed hating policy ESPecialky if it's isolated?
