The world of Faertun goes under many rules, but in the realm of magic there is one important rule. Dragons are the most powerful sources of magic, and there will be no dispute about that. But, due to that no dispute, there is an anomaly amongst humanity. When a human is born with too much magical power, they become a half-dragon abomination, otherwise known as a dragonman. These winged half-dragons were originally revered in society, and many were court mages or generals for barons, kings, and the such. However, as they were mainly used as tools and had very little political pull for anyone beyond their master, they got together and decided to make themselves heard, creating an army and starting what they called "the Reign of the Dragonmen".

However, it truly was a pathetic attempt. Due to the extreme circumstances it took for one to be brought into the world, even with them having families with each other, their whole kind created a smaller army than was the standard for one kingdom, and three had banded together to shut them up. It was a massacre for the dragonmen, because most were invested more into magic, and the humans, why they weren't as skilled as a dragonman, had powerful mages, and more of them. The dragonmen's few soldiers had only one tactical advantage and that was flying, but that was countered by the human kingdoms by giving all their soldiers bows and making them shoot the dragonmen out of the sky.

All the dragonmen were hunted to extinction by tracking them using the ability to see their intense magic on an orb that represented Faertun and all it's lands, and as to the children of human-dragonman families, the quarter-dragons, all had a bounty on their head since their magic wasn't powerful to be seen without mistaking for a human's own magical ability. Thus ended the pointless, and non-existent, "Reign of the Dragonmen".

Or was this really it's end?

---

The Three Humans

In Faertun, there are considered to be three breeds of humans. The standard humans, which look like your or me, the dragonmen, which had a body like a standard human, but with colorful scales, wings, a tail, and back spikes, and finally the quarter-dragons, which look different and unique from each other as they are children of the above two. Nothing special exists with the humans, but dragonmen can breath fire, and like a dragon, can also cover their scales in fire. Some quarter-dragons can also breath fire, and some can also cover their scales, if any exist on their persons, in fire.

Magic
(Feel free to skip if you don't intend to use it, as it is quite the word wall)
You can use magic. Magic will be handled like a D&D game where you start with a few spells, and you learn more as you go on. There are seven schools of magic, which I'll present to you as well as some spells you can choose. Magic cannot be used without a staff or wand. Staffs and wands do different things, and are of one school (Except for Earth wands and staves, as they can either be earthen or arcane energies). Your staff/wand can be a Bolt, which is when it condenses it's chosen element into a small ball which it shoots at a long distance at an enemy. It can be a Whip, which is a distanced, though not as distanced as a Bolt, attack where it sweeps in an arc. Finally, it can be a Blade, which is a wand exclusive thing where it becomes a one handed sword (Or a two-handed claymore if it's a Space wand) made up of the wand's chosen school, however since it's not made of something hard enough, it cannot block a blade and cannot be blocked by a blade (Unless it's an Earth (Unless it runs on arcane energies) or Space wand). Using spells of the same school as your wand makes those spells naturally more powerful. Some spells are called Rituals, meaning you must wait and make yourself vulnerable for a turn to use it.

Fire: Self-explanatory. Not really a favorite of the four Primal schools due to the dragonmen's common usage of it.
Spells you can start with:
Fireball: Shoots a ball fire that is more powerful then that of a Fire Bolt from a wand or staff.
Flamestorm: A small explosive burst of fire that shoots out of you. Don't worry, your safe, any of your nearby friends aren't.
Wild Fire: A large flame that moves and tracks down it's intended target. (Ritual)

Water: Self-explanatory. The most popular of the four Primal schools due to it's usage in developed wards that weakened the dragonmen's fire magic. It's also the magic used to heal a person and rid him of diseases.
Spells you can start with:
Sea Salt: A spell much similar to a Water Bolt except that's weaker and carries more sea salt. It's usage is in making an enemy's wounds more painful.
Ice Trap: An arc of ice extends from the ground near you, trapping enemies for a while.
Geyser: A massive blast of water from below. (Ritual)

Earth: Self-explanatory. No real favor or disfavor for this Primal school. It also encompasses the sub-school of the Arcane, considering arcane energies exist solely in crystals, which are a part of the school of Earth.
Spells you can start with:
Wall: Summons a wall of rock. What were you expecting?
Arcane Bomb: Shoots an explosive bolt of arcane energy at an enemy. Requires a crystal to use.
Dust Storm: Simply throws dirt into the air. It's helpful for a get away, at least.

Air: Self-Explanatory. No real favor or disfavor for this Primal school. All air spells are rituals, and usually require a group of people to use it. There are a few a single can cast on his own.
Spells you can use:
Gale: Summons a massive wind that ravages the nearby area. (Ritual)

Space: Space is the ability to shift things in this world. This magic involves a lot of physical force, and many have used it to ravage at enemies in a close range.
Spells you can use:
Charge: Allows you to use space magic to leap at an enemy from great distances.
Summon: Pulls an object to you.
Slam: Allows you to slam an enemy with a powerful amount of force.
Battle Armor: Summons barriers over you that are reminiscent to armor plates. Your armor can only take five hits before it disappears, in which you must wait to turn to summon it again.

Noxious: This school is renown for it's moral ambiguity. Legal only because it's technically not Dark magic, many people still hold it as Dark magic due to little difference appearance wise. Noxious deals with rot, illness, and poisons.
Spells you can use:
Defile: Allows you to quickly decay an object or obstacle. Doesn't work on living things.
Toxin: Allows you to poison an enemy. (Ritual)

Dark: The one forbidden school, Dark is feared in folklore, and is in general hated. While it originally dealt only with curses, mages noticed that the schools of Death and Summoning were too similar to it, and have lumped those two in to make the three sub-schools of Dark: Witchcraft, Death, and Summoning. Any found using it will be executed.
You cannot start with any. You may on a rare chance pick one up, but do understand the dangers of being caught having one.

Start Locations

You can start the ISRP in three different locations. These will explain the quality (story-wise) of your equipment and the amount of spells you may have.

U'Adonur - The Jarldoms of Ethigi do not have a king, and are more like a various number of warring tribes and not an actually jarldom. All of them, including your jarl Retken, revere magic as the gods' gift to humanity, and uphold their shamans (The mages of Ethigi) with such respect that the shamans are forbidden to fight for their Jarl and any magic on the battlefield is taboo. Recently, however, the jarl Oliscur has been betraying these ancient traditions, and have taken Ethigi by storm using magic. You currently live in Retken's city of U'Adonur, ready to fight as a soldier against Oliscur's forces. Due to their warrior culture, you may start with very good quality armor and weapons, but no spells, wands, or staffs.

Sharlington - You are worker for the mercenary company known as the Gold Wolves (Or Hounds to the many who dislike your organization). You deal in assassination, blackmail, theft, bounty-hunting, and guarding. You and two other are currently heading to a small village named Sharlington on the request of your superiors. Supposedly this is going to be a really big job. You may start with poor quality weapons and armor, a wand, two spells of any kind except Noxious and one Noxious spell if you use a Noxious wand.

The Ring - Unlike most places, the city of Lezern doesn't have a tower for the study of the magical arts. It has a whole city district ruled by the guild known as the Eir'Edal Collective, and you are about to graduate as an apprentice and become a professor. However, the master of the Collective has called for you. You cannot start with any armor except for one or two decorative plates, you can only have a staff or wand as a weapon, and you can have up to five spells.

(No, you cannot be a dragonman or quarter-dragon. In normal circumstances, you'd have been found out and killed. Sadly, only the three human races exist. No elves.)

I love it! Rekten. I like how you related some things to skyrim I'm guessing. One question though. Since I'm the second one to take interest in this, can I be a human. But, if you know Narutos first awakening form. Basically just floating aura as a second layer above your skin making you look like a fox. But instead may I have it as a dragon?

Truth be told the only thing related to Skyrim in there was the words Jarldom and Jarl. I actually styled it off of a mix of Norse and Greek culture.

As to your request, I'm confused as to what you're talking about. Can you clarify?

Basically, I request a special summoning or "awakening" that consists of dark magic. A beast is basically being released out of my body. Except I don't transform at all. I just get dark aura like as a second layer of skin floating ontop of the normal skin. The aura creates a dragon tail and wings. But my genetic human structure doesn't change, the aura just gives an hilusinating wing and ta structure. Is that clear enough?

Yes, I understand.

No, I'm afraid you can't do that. I selected the magic based off of what their superiors would think be nice and not nice. Not even a mercenary guild bordering on the criminal would even dream of using Dark magic as it's so feared, and a collective monitoring magic would definitely not allow illegal spells. On the other hand, nothing in Faertun has that kind of power. On the other hand, Neither of them would teach spells other then those provided due to various reasons.

@Os

I already provided the reason against that...

However, you can model your battle armor to look like a bit of a dragonish armor set, that much is allowed.

Lost interest with a kingdom named "fart run".

Other than that, marked, will join soon.

Well, I just found out that there's also a Copper and Platinum age of comics, not just Gold, Silver, Bronze, Dark and, god forbid, Post-New52

Jesus Christ, I did not notice that one, Mage, I was too busy pointing out how Faertun sounds like "Fart run" to notice that.

Actually Mage...

I didn't noticed that. I should be more careful in the future.

As to the "Fart run", I actually pronounce it as "Fair tun", but I won't lie, this was something, in it's entirety, that I wrote on the Create Forum page. The only thing here that wasn't written on the spur of the moment was the basic idea behind it.

As such, any falterings, or fart runs, I take full responsibility and blame for.

@MrStilts

Please, specify what kind of wand. You can only have a Bolt, a Whip, or a Blade.

That aside, once you've made your choice: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=153027238

I know I'm not in this RP, but I do have to say, it seems kind of dumb to call it the reign of the Dragonmen, when there are NO Dragonmen. Just pointing it out.

@Mega
It's not named after the dragonmen. If you actually read the thing, it tells you that the time when the dragonmen formed the army was called the "Reign of the Dragonmen" by them. The RP is named after the event, not the actual dragonmen.

And read that last line very carefully...

@Water

Well, one just has to find out!

(Well, in that case, my wand would be a Blade. And while I'm at it, I'd like to repost the "apparel" portion of my CS, because I forgot to add one other detail to it.)
