Welcome to Gaia! ::

Magic. Some unknown force that can't be controlled as easily as people. Those that don't have magic live in fear of those that do. While the ones that have magic often live fearing soldiers and their own powers. Many have caused great destruction throughout the land. The king did the only thing he could do, issued an order and passed a new law. If anyone bears the signs of magic, they are to be killed. There are two ways to tell a magic user. First is the release of magic when they come into their powers, which is usually when they are rather young. Second is a birthmark that marks their magic, often of a mythical creature. As always, there are some that bear no mark and can use magic. But those with the mark must run if they wish to live. A lot of families were forced to run from the law, or let their children die. There is a rumor that a city is being built by mages deep in the mountains. That only those with magic can find the city. Even in the other kingdoms, there are laws that are similar to that one.

That was five years ago. But even before the laws, mages were often hunted and killed. Xunia, the kingdom that started the laws of anti magic and the massive slaughter of all the mages they could find. The death toll is high in the few years since the laws. However, for the lower kingdoms cutting through Xunia is the quickest way to get to the mountains and the rumored safe heaven.



Legend is that true magic comes from the mythical creatures, which is why the casters bear them on their bodies. It is to form a connection to their source of power. Larger marks usually ties to a larger amount of power, but nothing is known for sure about the mages.





((For the Nationally, you can be Xunia or something else. The rp will being in the lower part of Xunia. For those of you that would like to be a different nationally but can't think of a good name for it, here is a name generator for nations and countries. If anyone wants to add royalty or nobility to the characters bloodline, its fine as long as you clear it with me first via pm. Any questions feel free to as via pm.))

Name: Natsu

Sex: Male

Age: 20

Nationally: Xunia

Appearance:


Personality: Distance, loner, caring tho he usually comes off as cold and distance, prefers to avoid a fight.

Markings: Phoenix

Location of Mark: It covers his back.

Main magic type: Fire

Backstory: Seeing the mark on his back, his parents chose to hide it and hoped that Natsu wouldn't become a mage. Raising him through the years they tried to teach him how to be kind and caring to those around him. With the wild rumors and myths surrounding magic, they wanted to help him and avoid getting him angry. The kids seemed to know that he was different somehow. Whether it was weakness or strength, they didn't care. Picking on him and bulling him became a regular thing. However it didn't get to him. One day they made a grave mistake. When he was ten he was crushing on a girl and the boys picked at him and insulted his taste and her. This brought his blood to a boil and with ease the magic that had been bottled up released in a great fireball that caused most of the wooden and straw houses to catch fire and burn, destroying a bulk of the town before the fire was put out. Those that saw it sore that it was a phoenix spreading its wings. Since then he wandered around aimlessly trying to keep to himself and avoid a repeat of that day. When he heard about the law, he knew that it was bad and that it was part of his fault. His might not have been the biggest release or the strongest one, but it was still enough to remind the king and the people that they weren't safe from the unknowns of magic.
