Approximately 4450 years ago, our planet had been one of desert. Sand as far as the eye could see. The planet found itself in such circumstance because of the binary stars that brought the day.
However, those two binary stars were disrupted somehow, and collided. The new star formed from the old two was massive, and put out enough heat to kill our planet. Our planet, covered in sand, became that of glass.
However, not all of us lived on the surface. Many of us lived deep underground, and were spared death from the Sun. Over time, we found the glass layer. The glass was thick enough that it dwarfed the heat and light from the sun to a livable degree. We hollowed out massive caverns underneath the glass, reforging the world underground.
New species sprung up, as well as fauna of all sorts. Our land beneath the surface became filled with forests and plains, around massive pillars of stone. Cities formed, stretching all over the cavern floors.
A new world developed, all beneath our massive SkyLight.
~ ~ ~ RACES ~ ~ ~
~HUMANS~
Humans, the progenitors of technology. Humans are the cunning and resilient tinkerers of our world, constantly thinking and forcing advancement.
Physical description: They range in skin tones, from nearly totally white, to tan and even to a dark brown skin tone. Human males stand around 5'10, while females stand around 5'5. They grow hair on their heads, and males often develop hair on their face. Hair ranges from a golden shade to a deep black.
Strengths: Willpower, endurance and cunning. Humans are known for their ability to defy danger, and think logically while under stress.
Weaknesses: Physically weak, and corruptable. Humans are known for succumbing to Greed, Lust, Envy, Pride....
~VAELEN~
Vaelen, the agile dwellers of the night. With advanced vision in the dark and light-sensitive skin, Vaelen find themselves preferring the darker places of the world. Although, they do find themselves cooperating well with Humans.
Physical description: Their skin tones range from bluish green to a deep purple. Their skin, while always rather bluish or purplish, can range from deep, dark shades to light, almost human-like tones. Vaelen males stand approximately 5'7 in height, while their females stand about 5'4. Vaelen eyes are always yellow or orange. Vaelen have tails, which range from 18 inches long to nearly four feet. Vaelen grow hair on their head like humans, but do not grow facial hair ever. Their hair is generally blue, purple or grey shades. Vaelen are rather lithe in structure, rarely having a large amount of strength. Vaelen walk on the balls of their feet, and have longer feet as such. [If you don't know what I mean by this, just ask.]
Strengths: Great agility, and relatively good speed. Have better night-vision that the other races, and find themselves great at focusing in the dark. As for mental capabilities, Vaelen have photographic memories, and rarely forget things. Superior depth perception.
Weaknesses: Light vulnerability. Exposure to large amounts of light for extended periods of time results a burning sensation, and can cause the Vaelen's heartbeat to increase to lethal levels. Vaelen also have shorter lifespans than the other races, only living to the age of 50, while Humans live to 70 or 80. Vaelen lack physical strength, as well.
[Sidenote: While Humans are considered adults at 17 in most places, Vaelen are considered adults at 15 for males, and 14 for females.]
~ZHAR'II~ [Singular: Zhar'i]
The large, strong worker-folk of the world, Zhar'ii are great allies to Humans. Zhar'ii are able to work hard without stressing themselves, and need a lot less food and water on a daily basis. They work with Humans, working while Humans make plans and schematics.
Physical description: Rough, light brown skin. Their skin is tougher than that of Humans of Vaelen, and shows. Zhar'ii stand taller than the other races, their males standing about 6'9 and their females standing 6'7. Zhar'ii usually have more muscular builds. Zhar'ii males have square, tough jaws, and lack hair. However, female Zhar'ii have some hair and human-like jaws. Zhar'ii hair is always black. Zhar'ii eyes are usually a muddy brown color, or a deep earthy green. Zhar'ii have horns, coming from their forehead. These horns will be up to five inches long on males, or up to two inches of females.
Strengths: Great physical capability, and endurance. They're more able to resist the elements, as well as able to take hits better. Zhar'ii are known for loyalty, and incorruptibility.
Weaknesses: Low mental capacity. Easily tricked, and out-smarted. Known for bad tempers, and become rather reckless when angered.
~ ~ ~ TECHNOLOGY ~ ~ ~
Thought technology varies in locations, most areas are pretty advanced. Basic guns are common, alongside some electronics. Although, more basic technology is still used, such as blades and bows and whatnot. Vaelen cities are generally lower tech than Human/Zhar'ii cities. Cities that contain all races are generally the tech level of the average Human/Zhar'ii city.
~ ~ ~ RULES ~ ~ ~ There are three humanoid races. There are no other options for you to choose from. No mutants, no demons... There is no magic. Grammar and spelling are required. You WILL wait for approval from me, and only me. Don't argue with me over my RP. No ubering, godmodding, pummeling... Names should be fantasy-like. No "William"s and no "Alexandria"s. Use PMs or Party-Chat to speak with me. Don't post questions. And please, ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU'RE UNSURE.

[Do note your character's race somehow.]
Name: Arik Streyvard Aje: 21 Gender: Male Race: Human Physical Appearance: Slightly tanned skin. 5'10. Brown eyes, and brown, messy hair. His right arm has a scar on his forearm. Not the thickest fellow, weighing about 145 lb. Clothes / Armor: Wears a white shirt, with black pants and black boots. Wears a blue cloak, and a brown hat. Inventory: A basic rifle, with ammo for it. As well, he carries a knife. He has about 350≡ [Sair, the basic currency] on him. Personality: Rather calm and laid back, but also easily intrigued. He finds himself spending a lot of time feeding his curiosity, exploring his city, eating at a new place each night... As such, he knows his city inside and out. Biography: His mother died during his birth, so Arik found himself raised by his tinkerer father. His father would tell him stories up until he was 15, so Arik developed in interest in technology and society, and found his domineering trait curiosity. Since the age of 17, Arik has lived alone, working as a producer of maps and guides of the city and its landmarks.

This does not run on anything close to modern technology. There are no "modern-looking pistols". The closest you'll get is a revolver. As well, rags doesn't tell me much. At the very least, providing color would be nice. As well, the currency in this world IS coins, but they're called Sair. The basic Sair is equivalent to 50 cents in the real world. As well, if he's fourteen (which is a minor), then how would he have an electric dagger and gun?] |

I didn't say the electric dagger was rejected, I said the "modern-looking pistol" was. And yes, there are laws. This RP is closer to 1700s or 1800s in style than Medieval, so yes, there very well could be a damn president running the show in some nations.
@Meis
Everything but the jeans are alright. Just say some heavy worker pants, and you're set!
@Midge

Name: Jamu'h Aje: 30 Gender: male Physical Appearance: Very tall even by Zhar'i standards, 7' 2". 7 inch horns and no hair. He has brown eyes and a square set determined face. Clothes / Armor: Wears light colored robes to help stave off the heat of the desert. Inventory: Aged, Worn assault rifle, Bowie Knife. Personality: Rebellious, Loud and Confident Biography: Born in a small Zhar'i village 30 years ago, Jamu'h was at once shown to be slightly more intelligent than average. He was able to grasp concepts that took the average adult Zhar'ii years to master. (This isn't to say he is a genius by human standards.) Jamu'h was soon drafted into the work force. He felt that his people were used by the Humans but did not speak out. Soon he began to gather followers. He attempted a riot/rebellion but was unsuccessful. He and his remaining followers set off in the desert to build a new life for themselves. |

(Well, since he IS being hunted for supposedly stealing a famous jewel...)
(Make the rejected pistol a mini hand-cannon (Basicly, you put a caspule full of gun powder into a slot, stick a random item in the barrel, and launch whatever you stuck in at someone. It's about a food long, wich Sjlio keeps on a strap on his back.) Also, when do we start?) |

Accepted. I like the idea of someone objecting to society's style, in this case the Zhar'ii-Human relationship.
@Banshee
Eh, you never stated he was on the run, so I assumed he was just drifting. If he's illegal, then by all means have a gun.]
Arik rolled off of his bed lazily. It was still early morning, the sun hadn't risen quite yet. But in his neighborhood, it was normal to wake up then - So that the Humans / Zhar'ii were able to communicate outside and whatnot. Arik put his shirt, cloak and hat on, before heading out his door. He walked down to the main street, and glanced about. There were some Vaelen about, with the occasional Human or Zhar'ii weaved amongst them. It wasn't the town square, so he didn't expect to see mobs of people. He started towards the local tavern. He didn't drink, but his friend sure did, and was probably there now. |

| "Scoilen come on!" Nin begged her brother as she tries to pull him off of the stool he was perched upon, "We need to get back home. STOP drinking!" Scoilen was continuing to ignore his younger sister and she was becoming frustrated beyond belief. Scoilen had been sitting on the same spot for about an hour, drinking heavily. 'There's no way he'd even be able to walk straight,' Nin thinks to herself. She sighs and flops down on the stool next to him, dropping her head rather heavily onto the counter in front of her. |

| Arik casually strolled into the tavern. Lots of people here right now, was the first thing that came to mind. He glanced around. His friend wasn't here, not yet. He took a seat next to some Vaelen girl who had her face to the counter. He raised an eyebrow, looking at her. "You passed out, drunk, or just kissin' the coun'er 'cause ya feel like it?" |

| Nin couldn't help but chuckle pathetically at the question before lifting her head so she could sit up. "Neither, actually. Just contemplating what to do when my father finds out I didn't bring my elder brother home in time," she says to the guy that spoke to her. |
