Muggeseggele!
@Deroc would you mind doing me a favour and answer me a few questions?
q#1: are there any kingdoms in racc that have existed for longer than 300 years?
q#2: if not could you supply me with the oldest?
q#3: would it be allowed for me to create a small section of history simply related to my character? by this i mean events far before the average human life span.
q#4: do you have any already generally accepted rules or guidelines based on magic?
q#5: do you have a special calender you would prefer me to use?
q#6: witches. i would like to inquire of witches. are they common in this world?
q#7: also souls, spirits, and ghosts. how do they work?
q#8: do you do language in this roleplay? i have been to roleplays where they actively choose to completely reject language, so this would be nice to know
q#9: would it be ok for me to have a very malicious/troublemaker type character? my assumption is that it is perfectly fine but i feel it would be wise to ask
q#10: in order of most to least favourite, waffles, trifle, pavlova or cheesecake?
A1 (Answer 1) : I think the oldest kingdoms are Ehelion, Eiramond and Nullmagic. Which of the three kingdoms are the oldest, I'm not sure but I think it's Ehelion. You should better ask their respective owners, @Devin, @Edge45 and @Daffa the Mage (Daffa is a bit inactive these days) for some information, since they own these factions and know about them very well.
Kharcia was also an old kingdom, but a bit younger and it got annexed into the much younger Pherith eventually. I'm not sure about Pherith, but before being a kingdom it had been there in different statuses (duchy, margraviate, archduchy).
Hopen might also be an old empire too, having a giant navy and a horde of demons at their side, but not as old as Ehelion I think, but also not a recent creation either.
A2 : If you're looking for the oldest kingdoms, it's either Ehelion or Eiramond. I guess you would go for tropical Ehelion, since I feel it's a lot more older and it has a wonderful culture compared to the northern snowy Eiramond.
A3 : Where? In the History thread or the Character Sheet thread? I think you should put a summary of your character's personal history in the Character Sheet, and then put the full version in the History thread.
A4 : Yes, I have a few rules in mind. I have magic as some sort of energy accessible to enlightened (gifted or trained) souls and brains. It depends on some sort of energy/substance called mana, which actually could be found scattered in the cosmos but concentrated around planets. And souls are immortal and cannot be destroyed most of the time.
A5 : Mostly no. The calendar here wasn't made with detail. But if you want to relate your dates with the Earthling/Terran calendar (e.g. Gregorian calendar), then I would suggest you to ask me. That's because I already have come out with an alternate history of my own.
A6 : Witches, well, they are in moderate numbers. Not too populous but not too scarce either. Though it depends a bit more on the country's culture and military.
A7 : Ah, yes, I have also a rough idea about how souls, ghosts and spirits work. Souls are most of the time immortal, they are the real consciousness instead of brains, and can be reincarnated into different beings depending on the situation and karma. They have feelings too, and mostly knowledge of their previous mortal life. But some enlightened souls might regain much more past life knowledge. Souls when apart from bodies are quite limited in ability though, but they can pass over obstacles easily and do some small tricks.
A ghost and spirit is a spectral lifeform, being able to do crazy creepy stuffs like in the horror movies. They can be detected and defeated into souls.
A8 : What do you mean by "do language"? You mean fancy languages your character would speak? If so, no problem, heck I do this with a couple of my characters too. But please avoid having most of your contents in this fancy language, and OOC messages should be in English.
A9 : Yes, of course! More drama = more fun!
A10 : waffles, trifle, pavlova or cheesecake
Pavlova > Waffles > Trifle > Cheesecake
Wait, why don't you give me Black Forest cakes or chocolate cakes? I love them so much, much more than any other cakes~~
