Story:
___The Human race was long considered the most industrious of the peoples. This caused them to build great machines and cities, and to separate themselves from the others. Their cold relations with the Elves caused numerous competitions between the two. As the Humans advanced their machines, the Elves expanded their knowledge of the arcane. After a time, war broke out.
___The Giants allied with the Humans, as they had their own problems with the Elves. The Elves countered by forging a dark alliance with the unholy, summoning Demons with forms great enough to fight the Giants, and a few demons were even larger than the Giant warriors, and easily more skilled in magic, especially when bolstered by Elven mages.
___Other races leapt into the fray as the war escalated and infringed upon their own lands. It was not uncommon to see a Vampire, enlisted into the Human ranks, equipped with Human gear that bolstered their own stealth and aiding them to serve as a covert saboteur against a band of Weres.
___The Humans experimented with creating a great fighting machine that could fight even the greatest Demons alongside their Giant and Giantess allies, but estimated the costs of creating them to be too high. They instead found ways to grow their own selves, and the selves of their allies, to great proportions. Not to be outdone, the Elves soon learned how to do the same.
___The war threatened to engulf the entire world. Some Humans and Elves began peace talks, and the war subsided. The city of Armistice was founded by both races, as a haven for every race to live in harmony with one another. Humans now learned ancient arcane secrets from Elves, and Elves traded those secrets for Human technology. Now, it was not unheard of for a Human to attend Elven schools of magic, or for Human technology to be sighted in Elven cities. Still, a few old enmities lasted, and the world was changed forever.
___Many Demons retreated into dark corners of the world, planning their own evils. Some Humans retained their hatred of Elves, and vice versa. Tension lingers in every city of the world, whether they were made of many integrated races, or were deep into Human or Elf or Giant territory.
Races:
___-Humans: The most industrious of the races. They use the most physical resources, building great cities and machines. Their armies are supplemented by great tanks and airships. A few Humans were skilled in magic even before their alliance with the Elves, although their number of mages has tripled since then.
___-Elves: More mystically-inclined than Humans, they use a lot more arcane resources, and construct "eldritch wells" in remote areas to absorb mystical energy and channel it to their cities, which are on average smaller than Human cities. Their cities now contain computers and industrial machines, though they still rely on eldritch energies for most of their power.
___-Giants: Much larger than Humans and Elves, the Giants are less numerous. Their fertility rate is very low, and the number of females is much greater than the number of males. They are about as skilled in magic as Humans are, and don't use many machines, but their size makes up for it.
___-Fae: Small, with bodies resembling those of Humans and Elves, but with insect-like wings, Fae are probably the most skilled with magic. Their small size can be a strength, and a weakness. Many have learned how to change their size at will, though. Some rumors say that's how Humans learned it, though Fae stayed neutral in the war.
___-Demons: They can take many forms, as Demons are not physical by nature. They achieve physical form by being summoned by a physical being. A skilled summoner can bind them and exert limited control over them, but an unskilled one may find himself in a lot of hot water. A few benevolent demons exist.
___-Angels: Not often seen on the physical plane, Angels are basically the holy counterparts of Demons, and thus can be summoned. However, just as a few good demons exist, there are a few "dark" Angels.
___-Vampires: The most shady and secretive of all races, Vampires are usually distrusted by every single other race, as they must feed off the blood of sentient creatures to survive. Many now live in Human cities, living off of manufactured blood produced in Human-built facilities. They don't have their own territory, as they are all converted from other races.
___-Weres: Believed to be an ancient cross between Humans and extinct Nature Sprites, Weres are a cross between Humans and various animals. (Nekos, Kitsune, etc. would fit in this category.)
___-Dragons: Usually taking a near-Human form, legends have it that the original bodies of these warriors were those of great flying lizards. They have an affinity for fire and heat, and tend to make quick strikers.
Rules:
-Standard RP rules. No godmoding, cybering, etc.
-No crazy magic. Keep it reasonable, even if powerful (without godmoding).
-Technology should also be reasonable. No gun that fires nuke bullets.
-Human technology is more advanced than real tech, but not all-powerful.
-Neither magic nor technology is a total trump. Be a little creative.
-Giant/Giantess characters are always big. Other characters can change size, with help.
-If you plan on being a non-Giant but may want to change size later, please include that as a footnote in the PM with your profile. I'll work it in somehow.
-You can have up to three characters.
-I'll be adding races as I go, so feel free to suggest some to me. The onlyreason I made a list is so we can all be on the same page as to what each race actually is, and not to be restricting.
-Don't do anything you think wouldn't be allowed without consulting me.
Profile Procedures:
Please PM your profile to me. I will give you the standard skeleton.

Profiles:
-Username: Zion Atriedes
-Name:
-Picture/Description: http://zion-atriedes.deviantart.com/art/Character-Art-Zion-116590024
-Age: 19
-Race: Human
-Gender: Male
-Gear/Weapons: Anything he can tuck within his coat. He usually carries a submachine gun, with plenty of ammo clips. He also has a small handheld rocket launcher, and a short sword at his hip. He also has access to a semi-private stockpile.
-Skills/Techniques: Zion is more skilled at magic than most Humans. He is adept at energy manipulation, making him pyrokinetic and electrokinetic. He dabbles in various schools of magic and martial arts, making him versatile and adaptable. The downside to be a jack-of-all-trades is that he's master of none... though Zion may be master of a few. Due to his high intelligence, Zion can learn practically anything quickly.
-Personality: Very self-righteous, Zion is a hero at heart. He works for the Armistice security force, and has no problem with any race. He does, however, despise arrogance, which often puts him at odds with Vampires and Elves. The irony is that he can unwittingly be arrogant at times. Zion is kind and compassionate, but won't hesitate to take down anyone that threatens to hurt someone. He would lay down his life for a total stranger.
-Username: Zion Atriedes
-Name: Kenson
-Picture/Description: http://zion-atriedes.deviantart.com/art/Character-Art-Kenson-116590177
-Age: 20
-Race: Human
-Gender: Male
-Gear/Weapons: Kenson doesn't carry any weapons, but prefers instead to rely on his own body's power. His boots and gauntlets are weighted, however, making his limbs strong, and his strikes painful.
-Skills/Techniques: An extremely skilled martial artist, Kenson can easily defeat most opponents in close-quarters combat. He also can throw telekinetic blasts to supplement his punches, something Zion taught him how to do.
-Personality: Much more relaxed and goofy than Zion, Kenson is often the one who is there to keep Zion from getting too tense. He's quicker to anger than Zion, though, and has less control of himself when he's angry. Other than that, he's a lot like Zion, who is his closest friend. He's of relatively average intelligence, unlike Zion, though he sometimes sees simple solutions that pass right under Zion's nose.
-Username: Zion Atriedes
-Name: Leif
-Picture/Description: http://zion-atriedes.deviantart.com/art/Character-Art-Leif-116590328
-Age: 19
-Race: Half Human/Elf
-Gender: Male
-Gear/Weapons: Leif carries a pistol and short sword with him, as defensive weapons in case he has to physically fight, which is a rare occasion.
-Skills/Techniques: Leif is a very powerful psychic. His mixed lineage gives him a naturally unique makeup. He is skilled in most types of passive magic (illusions, astral projection, etc.) and can use telekinesis and such, though he's actually behind Zion in terms of energy manipulation. His body has suffered, and he was often very sick as a child. Nevertheless, he survived, and became friends with Kenson, whose physical strength complemented his psionic abilities; and with Zion.
-Personality: Leif's always calm and collected, and speaks in a sort of monotone voice with little emotion. He guards his emotions and keeps them in check, since his empathy causes him to constantly feel the emotions of other beings.
