SETTING AND INTRODUCTION TO PLOT:

In a parallel dimension, quite similar to ours, there is a planet called Klix. A species who calls themselves "Loa" dwells on Klix, one that is very similar to humans. There are two major Clans found on the planet, both of them living together in a large village at the center of the forest that covers a majority of the land.

Despite their past abilities to co-exist, each Clan has an outlook on what is best for their world that is completely different from the other. These differences, as well as an ancient prophesy about a Hero who will save the Clans from destruction when they are at the hour of their greatest peril, are starting to create a cultural divide between the two Clans. Fighting amongst the clans is becoming disturbingly frequent. Often the only things keeping the two Clans from war is the Council of Wisdom that rules over the entire city and the promise of the Hero.

Recently a Barren, a place void of all life, began to grow a day's journey to the west of the village. Due to all of the bickering in the village, this strange occurrence led members of the Rhune and Illuma Clans to blame each other for the Barren. However, strange beings that look like walking sand trees have been spotted in the void, and have even taken a few Loa's captive.

The call has gone out amongst the clans from the Council! Who will come to the rescue of these poor captives? Where is the hero? Who are these sand demons and what do they want?

THE CLANS:

ILLUMA CLAN:

Background-
The Illuma Clan is known for their skills at farming and working with nature to co-exist with all life. The adult members of the clan are easily distinguished by their long, feline-like tails, which appear mysteriously on his or her 17th birthday. Those of the Illuma Clan favor a more nurturing approach, believing that all life is sacred and must be honored/respected, even if a life must be taken in order to survive. To those of this Clan, the spirit-which is housed in the heart- is the most important part of the self. Therefore, the matters of the heart and feelings are, while tempered with logic, are more important than lifeless, calculated laws.

Clan Motto-
"All the world is a shade of grey"

Weapons of choice- (primarily used for defense or scaring away enemies)
Slingshots, short swords, scythes, etc.



RHUNE CLAN

The Rhune Clan is known for their adept skills at hunting and changing their environment to suit their needs, and have adapted physically to this way of life with a pair of wings that sprout from their back. The wings are released from their backs during their coming of age ceremony at the age of 17. Those of the Rhune Clan believe that the mind is stronger than feelings and matters of the heart, and therefore laws that have been made must be upheld. Making an exception to a law allows others to believe they can break the law and get away with it.

Clan Motto-
"Self-mastery over one's desires and emotions leads to spiritual peace."

Weapons of Choice- (Related to hunting and attacking)
Bows and Arrows, Long Sword, etc.

RULES:

- No excessive violence/killing off another player's character (unless you have their (and my) permission). The whole point of this RP is NOT to have a war, but rather to avoid it, as per the wishes of the Council. But that doesn't mean we have to get along easily...
- No God Modding.
- No stealing. It's MY roleplay, so don't go taking it over like it's your or reproducing it with slight alterations. If you want to use it, ASK ME FIRST.
- NO ROMANCE! If I see it, you're in trouble!
- Limit 2 characters(*). To start with, you can be either be from the Rhune Clan or the Illuma Clan. And yes, you can have a character in each Clan.
- NO, you can NOT be the hero. The whole point is that no one knows who the hero is... they will be revealed in time... So please... don't ask.
- Please be respectful... and have fun!

(*) I may modify this rule if needed later... *hint hint* ^_^
