Story

The human race has always asked one question: "What if there was a planet just like earth, milliards of light years away?". In the year 2034, they found just that planet. Slightly bigger, but with extremely similar geography, atmosphere density, and so much more. Even signs of life were shown. This planet was now humanity's ultimate goal.
In the year 2089, a strange alien artifact crashed down on the surface of the earth, in the middle of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was the remains of a hyperdrive-module, of unknown origins. Experimentation on this device led to what humanity had always needed, a quick, efficient way to travel the solar system. Sol was now open to them.
The year 2102, humanity's curiosity overwhelmed them. They built a spacecraft with the most advanced hyperdrive-module they could make, and set coordinates for the planet they now called Cragus, after the Greek god of Strength and Victory. Reaching this planet would mean the ultimate victory for them.

The project was launched, and the hyperdrive activated. The 100 people on board the craft was put in stasis, and expected to wake up in 3 years.
This was not the case.
The craft's engines swallowed too much power, and the ship was left floating in space aimlessly. The people on earth were devastated. They expected to never hear from the men and women aboard ever again.
Somehow, the stasis chambers were left active, and the humans remained in stasis for over 20 years, not aging a day. And by a miracle, the reserve generators had kicked in in the end.
They soon reached Cragus.
However, the coordinates had been damaged from the power outage, and they crashed violently on the planet. Somehow, all of them survived.

Fast forward 130 years, the humans on Cragus are still waiting for answers from Earth, thinking everything went as planned. They have colonized the planet, living off the land they had, reversing to a more primal state, although still familiar with creating gunpowder and laser weaponry, the resource is limited, and they primarily use swords again.
However, one thing was not expected at all. The colonists found something they never thought could exist. Magical orbs that bestow magical powers to the ones swallowing them. This lead to greed and power-hunger amongst the colonists.

Typical of humans, conflict was born between the colonists, and they split into two city-states, locked in conflict about who can control the operations until earth achieves contact.

And you are a part of this.

Magic orb guidelines:

The roleplay doesn't need any additional rules besides the ones the guild provides as a standard. However, the magic used in this roleplay requires a few guidelines:


- You can only have one specific type of magic
This means that you can only, for example, control fire. You can not control water and fire, for example.

- You can have pretty much any type of magic you want
Yes, this means you can be a walking blob of lava if you want. You can even have minor powers like being able to grow plants or make your teacup dance. But keep your powers to a limited level. No godmodding.

- When your character swallows an orb, he might grow mutations, such as cat ears, tails, scales on their skin, iris mutations, et cetera.

- The magic is not perfect. This means there's a decent chance your magic might fluke. For example, that fireball you were about to throw suddenly explodes in your hand, or that vine you grew around a person's foot becomes sentient, and starts attacking randomly.




Weaponry guidelines:

There are no special notes about weaponry. Just remember that carrying a 3 meter b*****d sword is unlikely for normal human strength (Unless your magic is extreme muscular power).
Also, all weapons can be enhanced by your magic, if it allows it.


What types of weapons are there?

- Swords
There are swords in any possible shape. As long as they are somewhat realistic.

- Bows
Who doesn't like bows?

- Gunpowder weapons
Things like your average pistol, grenades and cannons exist. Just remember that it's not easy to carry an artillery cannon.

- Lazer weapons
Although rare, they do exist. Lazer swords even. they don't work like in star-wars though. They don't collide. It's just very warm light.
Ranged lazer pistols/rifles also exist.

- Magical weapons
If your power is to spawn acid-axes, then you can do that. A sword of lightning, or a sword that extends, whatever you wish.

Additional info about Cragus

As mentioned, Cragus is extremely familiar to Earth. It has all the same minerals, to similar amounts, plus the orbs that are found randomly around the surface.

If you want to imagine what the planet looks like, imagine the style of "The land before time". A fairly new-looking nature, with lots of tall, pointy mountains, and lots of natural flora. There are tons of dinosaur-esque beings, that work and look pretty much just like dinosaurs. They remain afraid of humans, but the carnivorous beings won't hesitate to attack.


Special beings:

Over the century humanity has been on the planet, a lot of magics have proven to be... Less stable or controllable. This has led to some people going mad, turning into wicked shapes, or being transformed into enormous creatures. Imagine a couple dozen gigantic statues from Shadow of the Colossus wandering around on the planet. They can't be killed, and remain fairly peaceful. Won't attack at all.
Those wicked creatures i mentioned however are a bit different. Imagine the dementors from Harry Potter, just that they have a face, where their skull has pushed their way out of their mouths. Magic can go wrong. They exist in few numbers, and mainly in caves.



The factions

The Veteran
The people residing in the city state of Jormund belong to the Veteran faction. They believe that a strong defense and large mining operations will please earth when they send to find them. They have come to almost look at the humans on earth as gods, telling tales of their greatness before sending the colonists out as prophets.

The Edens
In the city state of Eden, the people of this faction believe that they should try to make the planet into what the humans on earth failed; A perfect place where humans could reside in peace, relax, and enjoy what nature would give to them. They care not much whether or not Earth regains contact or not, but they have receptors for signals anyways.



Minor factions also on the continent

The Barbarians
Firm believers of "survival of the fittest". They have two settlements between the city states, and often raid minor villages of either capital.

The mercenaries
Instead of having their own settlements, they have buildings in each town where they can be hired by anyone at any time. They are mildly disliked.

Gaia name: Hora-San
Character name: Kenneth (Ken) Wylie
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Power: Power to control sound-waves.
Weapon(s): A rapier, a hollow tube and a long-barrel Luger pistol.
Biography: Ken was born to the Eden faction, but realized early that he didn't feel like living in a "peaceful" world. He liked the thrill of battle, and when he found his magical orb at age 13, he murdered his parents by accident in a rage, and fled out into the open. After a day or two of wandering, he was picked up by a mercenary troupe wandering around in that region, and out of gratitude, he joined them, and soon trained to be one of the best mercenaries for hire there was. He has been part of several political assassinations, and his sound manipulation abilities makes him an excellent spy, as he can imitate animals and people.
Additional info: He uses the hollow tube to create earthquakes, by focusing his sound into the tube, creating heavy rumbling from the concentrated sound. He can also do several tricks with sound in other ways.
