⇁ Mreran

⇁ In a world suffocated by segregation and supremacy, lies Mreran, a city themed by the old times, towering nearly miles from the surface and intertwined by millions of skywalks and open air bridges. Within these towers are supermarkets, bookstores, courts, jails, indoor parks. Towns. Homes. People. Humans. Yes. Humans. Those who have withstood the weathering of the world with the purest of bloods. So pure, some have even developed magics.
⇁ But so have the castaways. The halfbloods and pureblooded races that have been sentenced to life on the surface. Destined to serve those in the towers above. They're the farmers of the vegetables and fruits, the smitheys that provide the swords and weapons that bar their entrance to the acclaimed towers.
⇁ Those who lived at the top were said to be the richest, most political, and the most famous. It was the dream of anyone to make it to the top.
⇁ But what about those who were stuck on the surface? Those who disagree with the mayor of Mreran, and the rest of the world? What about them?

⇁ They're sick of being oppressed. Damn sick of it.

⇁ To clear the air a bit...

⇁ Towers

⇁ To describe the towers short and sweet, think Tokyo/New York without the cars. People walking everywhere, packed streets, bright lights, etc. Modern. Grocery stores in certain towers, electronics in another, etc. The only thing Medieval-ish about them is their exterior, and system of justice. Most disputes will be settled by blade or duel, rarely to the death. For larger cases, they will be set for a hearing in court, which is presided over by the Mayor. This means most anyone will be walking about with a weapon of some sort.

⇁ Surface

⇁ To describe the surface, its like Africa. Villages here and there, some with electricity, running water, and schools, some with only running water, and some with nothing. Its mostly lush farmland though, and anyone living there generally has a job to do somewhere to support the city above. Again, most will have weapons, although the justice system is much more loose, with the exception of the heavily armored guards that guard the entrance to the towers.

⇁ Magic

⇁ Most will not have full blown magic, but will know a few sigils for spells. Yes, sigils. In order to bring forth the powers within, you will have to not only will your body to do it, but produce the proper sigil to call forth the proper magic. These sigils are learned from others, books, and rare cases, nature. There are stories of Mages, who know thousands of sigils.

⇁ Races

⇁ Alright. Lets lay some guidelines. No one race is better than another. Every person is entitled to their view of a race, which means no one is wrong, but no one is right. Races should generally be humanoid, but don't be afraid to go a little crazy.

⇁ Some Guidelines

⇁ Semi-lit to lit to Adv. Write as much as you want, as long as its not describing every fiber of the rug underneath your characters feet and nothing else, and no one liners.
⇁ Power Playing/God Modding is perfectly okay, as long as there is proof to a prior agreement.
⇁ Please, just use spell check. Write in Word or something before you post. It messes with my OCD.
⇁ I'll call the shots if a fight breaks out amongst writers, and don't argue. Only people that can over rule my ruling are obvious.
⇁ Please just fill out the profile and send it to me. Will be easier that way.
⇁ This is kind of a medieval and modern twist, most of the insides of the towers will be quite futuristic or modern, but anything on the surface is medieval, with electricity and running water here in spots.
⇁ Weapons will be strictly medieval, but can upgraded with a modern touch. Meaning no guns, but swords can do all sorts of funky things. Break apart to become two, etc. If you're unsure, don't be afraid to ask.
⇁ Races. Well. Lets not get super crazy. And lets be safe and leave vampires out of this, yeah? Just another thing if you're unsure, ask.
⇁ Since I'm a Barton Town whore, Picture and Name will be requested in your post. That is, if you ante up a picture. Otherwise, please please please put a name in your post, so at least I know who the heck posted.
⇁ Third person, past tense, got it? Bing bang boom. Lets roll.
