Wars and Wings

[The Diamond God]

In ancient times, the land lay covered in forests, where, from ages long past, dwelt the spirits of the gods. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed. Those that remained were guarded by elves and druids...who owed their allegiance to the Great Forest Spirit, for those were the days of gods and demons.

In Essos, a wild war is raging. Dragons, dwarfs, elves, goblins, orcs...all of their kind and their ilk are on their way out; it is the Age of Man. The humans will no longer tolerate their presence. The humans have begun what will later be known as the Extermination Wars. They have systematically begun to destroy the other civilizations, one at a time. The humans began with the orcs and other such creatures; deviants that no one missed. The war has been going on for many years; centuries, even. The first generations of human soldiers have been completely used up in the wars; those that weren't outright killed died of age and their wounds.

After the so called deviants had been destroyed, the humans were satisfied...for a decade. Then they set their sights on the elves. When the Fair Folk begged aid in terms of arms and armor from the dwarves, they were outright refused. After three more of their cities fell, they turned to Dragons for assistance. Where the bearded folk failed, the dragons came through with flying colors. Before much longer, dragons were being assigned to specially trained elves who used these mounts with alarming skill to turn the tide of the war. In an effort to curb the tide, humans employed their most talented mages to enslave dragons, leveling out the playing field. The war has entered the fifty-second year of combat, with tragedies and triumphs on both sides. Who will you join? Who will you support?

The Laws of the Land

XXX► Gєηєɾaℓ
This is a (mostly) fantasy role-play. So, first off; follow the Gaia ToS. You do this everywhere else on Gaia, so it shouldn't be so hard to do it here too. Please respect the other roleplayers here, be polite and kind. Follow the golden rule; treat others how you would like to be treated. Don't spam in this thread (ie. bumping, chatting, unrelated posting, ect. If you'd like to strike up a conversation, we have an OOC for that). Keep swearing to a minimum (in posts and OOC). Also, no god-modding, powerplaying, auto-hitting, ect. And absolutely no cybering! This is a PG-17 roleplay, and if you violate this rule, or any of the rules for that matter, I will ban you from this roleplay! And I can reject your character profile for whatever reason I want to, though my reasons often have logic behind them, I am really not picky so do not freak out from the length. Oh and I do the three strikes and you are out. Some things can be worth two strikes and some can you can be banned right away.

This is a semi-literate to literate RP. This seems needless to say, but no *asterisks* or -dashes- for actions, and no emotes for emotions. I want you to write your posts up like you're writing a novel. So speech will go in "quotation marks", thoughts will be italicized and any OoC will go in double brackets { }, [ ], or (( )). Your choice. I understand a few mistakes but make sure we know what you are saying and do not use this as an excuse to mess up. I'd like to have at least one paragraph, seven sentences, in your posts, but having more would be awesome.

This is a long term RP, and I'd like it to stay alive for a good long time. So if you play on joining, then please make sure that you can post at least three or four times a week, and I would love it if you could post more than that. So if you don't think that you can meet the posting standards, or will become too busy to stay active in the future, then please don't join. Use of pretty posts is love. Put some time into making your posts look good! I don't appreciate having my eyes burning out, so would you kindly stay away from yellow or cyan? Keep posting fonts (for the main text) within sizes 9-12.

Use the form to make your character profile, and please don't change it. I worked hard on it. I would like well rounded characters, no Mary sues, or Gary stues, please. Everyone has a weakness, an everyone has their strengths. I want to learn about your characters, and to have their true selves revealed bit by bit. But you can still make them good. Just not every minute characteristic of them. There has to be room to grow. When you finish up your profiles, PM them to me, titled 'The Rise of Man.' URL pictures only please.

Last rule, I promise. I congratulate you for reading up to this point, too. If you have, I don't have a different title for you PMs. Just call them what I said before. So the last rule is; you must have fun here! It's an RP, and it should be used to be entertaining! So have fun with it everyone! Also, I might change the rules later on, so be aware.
