Understandably Confused
So @BrookeDi and I came up with a premise for a modern fantasy world we were planning on using in a 1x1, but we've decided the premise is big enough for more players to jump on board. Currently only looking for 2-3 other people, after that we may take more later depending on how things go. Here's a link to our IC thread.

The story is set in the modern-day United States, in a world where fantasy exists alongside the mundane. Elves and dwarves and half-bloods mingle with full-blood humans, and a good portion of the population possesses spellcasting ability. These people, known as "Secondaries," or "Secs" in short, are feared by the general population, even hated. Used as a scapegoat throughout history, Secondaries have long campaigned for equal rights to no avail. A number of laws exist to control them and keep them in line, such as a nightly curfew, mandatory registration with the Department of Secondary Affairs, and most recently, the Secondary Relocation Act. All Secondaries are to be relocated to designated living communities, isolated from the general population. The people are starting to talk. Change may be on the horizon.
Our current characters, Olivia Moore and Dominic Kingston, are both relatively influential players in the Secondary Rights Movement. However, the two have very different ideas on how to proceed after the approval of the Relocation Bill. Some members of the resistance (such as Dominic) have begun to push for open revolution. Tired of living under the thumb of the government, they are ready to take the rights they deserve, by force, if necessary. Others (such as Olivia) still believe in the power of peaceful protests and resistance. Both face the same problem, though- many Secs are too afraid to associate with the resistance movement at all. But time may be running out as the Sec population dwindles and the government continues to make laws restricting their power.
We haven't been playing in this world for too long, and there are a lot of directions this story could go. We've sort of intentionally left it open for new players to join, not really committing to any solid plot yet. We want everyone to be involved in moving the story forward. Things will develop as we see who's interested, what the character concepts pitched are, and how all our characters interact with each other. Probably will be some political drama, maybe some modern combat, definitely some revolution. The CS we want interested players to fill out is pretty light, as we want to give people room to develop their characters during play, but if you feel compelled to add more info, go ahead.
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Secondary Status (Is your character Secondary? If so, why? I.e., half-elf, dwarf, spellcaster):

History/Background:
Let us know if you have any questions! We look forward to writing with you!
