Anyone who bothers to read all of this is most welcome! I hope you enjoy.
It is the era of advancement; man and mer have long since mastered magic and the lands. Now they take to the skies, surprised by what has long since lain hidden in the clouds. Great islands and landmasses suspended high, some even large enough to support small oceans. It was with wonder that the races of the lower worlds saw these once-hidden continents from their mighty airships, and set about exploration and perhaps colonisation of these new lands.
Some of the land is already claimed, natives of the lands having been settled since creation, still unsure of what to make of the arrivals to their world. We start the story at this point, a few exploration teams from the major lower-land races have arrived and set upon the shores of the landmasses, their settlements but glorified camps and research posts.
Native Races:
AEROMER: Dubbed ‘Sky-Elves’ by the lower-land races, they are the main population spread about the whole series of continents. Very civilised, living in enclosed communes, their technology powered by drawing from the natural magic of the lands. Organised in city-states rather than a unified kingdom, with different cities having different views towards the newcomers, or perhaps oblivious to the whole event. They are tall and agile, often seen in silk-like garments and adorned with jewellery. They have no need for airships, having tamed the wide variety of flying creatures native to the lands.
CELESTRIUS: A much smaller race of natives that stick to the wilds of the continents, they are much like man, but winged and lighter in body shape. They live in small groups, tribes, and tend to live on the smaller islands or floating clusters. Unlike the Aeromer, who can only use the land’s magic to power their technology, they can draw directly from it and use it to potentially great effects. The magic is tied heavily to the land, and the further they are from it then the less powerful it gets until they lose contact with it completely.
Races of the lower lands:
MAN: The most adaptive of the races, never able to catch up to the dwarves in innovation or master the more arcane arts like the elves. They pride themselves on being good tradesmen and diplomats, and capable at most crafts. A jack of all trades, but only master of some.
DWARVES: The sturdy men of the hills and mountains, masters of technology. It was their engineers along with human carpenters and boats-men that developed the first true airship. Able to work with practically any material, a Dwarf has the skill to craft and repair with only the smallest amount of resources. Flesh tempered by the mountain’s inner heat, they are a very resilient folk and able to withstand all but the harshest of attacks. Undiplomatic and often a splintered people, prone to infighting and class-divisions but loyal to the end with those they actually respect.
ELVES: The self-perceived sophisticated people of the lower lands; they are the artisans and scholars of the arcane. They are producers of elegant architecture, artwork and even weapons; and it is this talent that often causes them to look down with arrogance at the other lower-land races and laugh at their ‘lack of grace’. They stole an early airship, disassembling it and creating their own – powered by magic not fuel, and joined the other two races in the sky.
I’m open to you suggesting other races but I will need to approve them first, just Message me.
RULES: Follow Roblox’s rules above all others, If you are unsure of if you can do something or not then do not do it, Message me and I’ll clear the issue.

| Oh! And you can join in the roleplay at ANY POINT, just post a CS and wait for an Admin to accept you. Don't start thinking you can't join because we've started. There's always an airship dropping people off if anything. |

| (Can I have an assassin that fights well and is a master at stealth, but will probably require 50 pages of character development to come close to befriending someone? I don't know if that's a legit flaw.) |

(So long as you stay with 'human' bounds. You're not say...playing a level60 Skyrim character with maximised thief skill trees. Keep it real, so to speak. If you're going to be a master of stealth then I want you to be clever about it rather than just venturing into the unbelievable.)
(Ah, and ask for permission to kill a player character, it is their own creation after all.) (Hope I haven't scared you off.) |

Name: Gen Nerevar
RPage: 26
Race: Human
Occupation: Assassin
Talents: Stealth. He also has the ability to take note of everything going around him at once, given that he's standing still, concentrating, using every sense possible, and has about one to three minutes.
Appearance: Gen has brown eyes with dark circles under them, although they look alert just the same. He has black robes, since he usually strikes at night. His hair, which is usually covered by a hood along with his eyes, is jet black, and is cut short. He lacks any facial hair. He has a large scar on the back of his left hand that he keeps wrapped in black bandages after guards used it to identify him when he was disguised. He's slender, about 6"3 and 120 lbs. His robes are tied together by a red satin belt.
Personality traits: Cold, unforgiving, and silent, just like his assassinations. He's repressed any emotions as to prevent guilt. He obviously has no friends at all and very many enemies out to get him. This has forced him to learn to fight, although he prefers not to fight at all.
Bio: (This would be much better if I was able to develop it throughout the RP. I do have a small bit, though:) Gen has trained to be an assassin since he was 11.
Starting equipment/items: A black, engraved dagger. That is all. He once had a sword, but it was taken from him at one time when he was caught. |

Name: Cigam Niard
RPage: One hundred twenty-six ye@rs
Race: Elf
Occupation: Researcher
Talents: Niard is well-versed in anatomy and is therefore a competent doctor. Most of his skills are devoted towards research in the physical traits and culture of the new species.
Appearance: Niard is quite tall, with fair skin and long, blonde hair. He is not well-muscled but is quite thin, devoting much time for meals, sleep, and exercise towards research. His eyes are a bright blue.
Personality traits: Niard is ill-tempered when being interrupted from work, sleep, or conversation, but he is otherwise easy to get along with if one has an intelligent mind.
Bio: Niard was born in a minor Elven city to a middle-class family of merchants. He became an apprentice to a philosopher at one point and later to a physician. With the discovery of new lands, he quickly joined an airship with a ready team of other researchers for the treasure hoard of information. He is still considered young for his species.
Starting equipment/items: On his person, he carries a small knife for personal protection, and he wears a fine tunic of violet and crimson under a white laboratory coat. His research equipment includes various items and devices, such as a microscope and an alembic.

Our story begins upon one of the larger landmasses, a rough ellipse running north-to-south; made of mostly flat lands covered in forest with a spine of sharp mountains running down the middle -- a few small breaks in this 'spine' intermittenly. At one end of this landmass, slightly to the west, an airship is moored upon the cliff edge that marks the end of the almost-continent. A camp spread before it, not long since set up and with no permanent fixtures. It is the lower-races that bustle there, eager to begin the work they have been tasked to. A few cities of the Aeromer, and some scattered Celestrius tribes populate the landmass but most are currently oblivious to the presence of the arrivals. |

Looks down at the camp from the control room "Well.... I was skeptical at first, But maybe that elf was right...." |

~Niard~ I rush to my microscope. "Okay...many of the plants seem to be of a similar structure." Excited, I have had my scientists test geological and botanical samples as soon as we arrived. |

| Aeomer is crouched forward in a tree just back from initial treeline, trying to make sense of what I can see. They were not Aeromer, or at least, some of them definitely were not. Taking my bow from its clasps I take the next branch forward and get another closer look. |

~Aia~ I grimace from the noise, eyes narrowed angrily. "Gods could they be any louder..." |

Walks out of the Airship, glancing around at the men at work and those scientists, Growls thinking to myself "Why did we have to bring them...." |

| I walk out of the airship and look at the camp. I'll get information on it later, just in case... |

Aeomer:
Taking another step forward, perhaps making myself visible to the trained and alert eye, I peer closer at these new people. Yes, they weren't any people documented before, some looked similar to the Aeromer but they were not of the same people. |

With my bow leveled at Aia as a form of warning, at least one I hoped this new one would recognise, I retreat back through the branches. |
