So Serenes Forest doesn't have an active role-playing topic running, eh? Then I suppose I'll have to start my own. :)

|| STORY ||

53 years prior to this story, the nation of Jinbaisha was the most advanced nation in the world, besting all others in wealth, agriculture, science, architecture, and the arts.

Executive Marshal Daniel McCormick and Great Sage Jacques Brunswick were praying for the restoration of Emperor Perfecte in an attempt to aid the nation of Jinbaisha against anti-government forces rallied by nine traitorous Lords. A seal binding 108 spirits was broken, and the spirits themselves were released into the world and defeated the traitors, sweeping them into another dimension. Jinbaisha herself was reshaped by this event, losing half of her landmass (most of it in the south) and leaving behind an inhospitable desert in the north.

18 years after the seal's breach, each of the 108 spirits possessed and fused with select unborn children over a 20-year period, ending 15 years prior to this story. The spirits would grow up as regular humans and live their lives, rebuilding their country through growing crops, crafting or selling merchandise, or serving as a foot soldier or apprentice scholar.

Life went on, as it always does. But the geography has been drastically changed over the course of time.

Green zone - Republic of Jinbaisha. Over 50 years since the fall of the town, the nation has been slowly rebuilding her towns and economy.

Green circle - Holy Blue Forest. The current host of the Republic's governmental and economic hubs, and the largest city in Jinbaisha.

Red zone - Northern Wastes. Many of the towns here have since been abandoned, but various mercenaries, criminals, and other ne'er-do-wells wander through a few buildings.

Red circle - Iron Mountains. Olympus Mons, the highest point on Jinbaisha, holds the Great Temple where 108 spirits were previously sealed.

Teal zone - Sunken Faulter, a pirate's term for the land that was destroyed by the traitor legions during the Betrayal. Only the ocean occupies the area that was once land.

I have to go for now,but I'll reserve a spot as the soldier,and make my sheet later,okay?

[Aitherion]

I'd like to get a hold in on a Fencer.

Also additional question- Can we get at least a bare bones plot summary? Kind of hard to do background without it. XD

[Tauro]

Can we get at least a bare bones plot summary?

It's almost done. I'll have it up tomorrow night.

@Everyone else reading this:

I apologize for my slacking off. There's still room left if you want to join.

[Tauro]

It's almost done. I'll have it up tomorrow night.

General plot is complete. Instructions for creating a character are up as well.

[Ether]

What exactly is EP?

Also,I'm assuming we are using the regular FE calculations?

[Tauro]

What exactly is EP?

Also,I'm assuming we are using the regular FE calculations?

1. EP means Energy Points, which you'll be using for special attacks (such as magic) sometime in the future.

2. Yes. Gotta keep it simple, eh? B)
