Aonia
10.000 years ago in a world of Aonia, a great war broke out between the force of good and evil that will shaped the future of all being in Aonia. Humankind of all kingdoms have set aside their differences and united under the same banner fighting against their nemesis, the demon race which is rule by the infamous Dark Lord. The long war has span into numerous centuries however eventually this war too has come to an end.
The Dark Lord was defeated...
Champions of the human known as ‘Heroes’ are in fact the key element in the Dark Lord’s defeat. Both side had suffer great losses from the war, the humans had taken full control of Aonia, while the remaining demons race including the gravely injured Dark Lord had been banish into the Dark Realm, a different dimension full of despair. A peaceful 10.000 years then pass by, making the tale of the Great War now nothing more than a distant past long forgotten.
You have just reached your 20th birthday, at this moment you started to see odd images in your mind along with a creepy whisper that only you can hear. After a moment of pain and struggle, you finally regain all of your true memories along with your true purpose in life. You are actually a demon sent here from the Dark Realm through a small rift between the two dimensions. Demons and Human are pretty much the same in appearance, the difference between them is the power that courses through them and their nature, light made humans and darkness made demons. Thus is why you were able to live in the world ruled by humans for 20 years with your power suppressed by the Dark lord until you have come of age. Finally your purpose in life is nothing other than to bring the Dark Lord back to Aonia and revive the demons race. You are now the champions of the demon known as ‘Villains’.

Seems like ii'll be putting my ideas of a new skill system on hold for now, hopefully i can make it work with another Rp i might create in the future. But i'll test out the other system that i had in mind with this Rp and see how effective it would be. This will still hold an open-world aspect though along with other things that will make the story work.
Anyway the Rp is officially up and start accepting now.

1. Yea, since you gain your power on your 20th birthday so everyone will play on the same start line, adding more years could means things like more time to build your army and stuff.
2. The HP will represent health pool of that character, it will be use during battle to calculate the damage you dealt and receive. For example, you are in a battle against a giant beetle
Giant Beetle:
HP: 200
Rokudo swiftly dodge the beetle attacks and perform an immediate counter strike swinging his sword in a wide arc.
Giant Beetle:
HP: 150
Once the beetle HP reaches 0, you basically defeated it. This will be use for all battles within the Rp, to make it easy for players to follow. At the same time you must also keep track of your HP since yours can reach 0 as well. Keeping track of the NPC and character HP is my job though, it will be on all of my posts for the players to check on it.
Upon further consideration, I'm no longer as interested as I was after the interest check. I was very enticed by two main factors: the open world, and the prospect playing interesting villains. Both of those are still present, but there are some things which diminish my interest.
Foremost is that all characters must be the same age. I feel as though this has the effect of limitng creativity, and could lead to a plethora of similar characters rather than a diverse cast. I have no problem with playing a twenty year old from time to time, but with this roleplay, I'm not coming up with many ideas.
Additionally, while the open-worldness is still present, I feel as though I misinterpreted it at the beginning for being more open than it was. The obligation of powers, the limitations on character diversity (age and race), and what seems to be a heavy focus on combat diminish what I originally foresaw.
Now, none if that is to say this isn't a roleplay woth great potential - it definitely is. However, it's not the roleplay I anticipated after the interest check, and it is no longer as interesting to me. That's no one's fault, I believe. Interest checks are easy to misinterpret, and I'm prone to anticipate what I really want.
So, good luck, and have fun. I hole this roleplay does well.

Ah no problem Commandosaurus, I did quite some change to what i had originally planned to for this Rp as well so it might have lost some interest from before.

Definitely joining this, if all goes well. I love open-world roleplays!
Consider me interested!
Sounds promising, I'd certainly join this, if it came to be!
This sounds excellent. I will join, assuming time allows for it!
Seems like ii'll be putting my ideas of a new skill system on hold for now, hopefully i can make it work with another Rp i might create in the future.

So characters have to be 20 years old?
Also, how does HP work?
1. Yea, since you gain your power on your 20th birthday so everyone will play on the same start line, adding more years could means things like more time to build your army and stuff.
2. The HP will represent health pool of that character, it will be use during battle to calculate the damage you dealt and receive. For example, you are in a battle against a giant beetle
Giant Beetle:
HP: 200
Rokudo swiftly dodge the beetle attacks and perform an immediate counter strike swinging his sword in a wide arc.
Giant Beetle:
HP: 150
Once the beetle HP reaches 0, you basically defeated it. This will be use for all battles within the Rp, to make it easy for players to follow. At the same time you must also keep track of your HP since yours can reach 0 as well. Keeping track of the NPC and character HP is my job though, it will be on all of my posts for the players to check on it.
You're accepted Ultra, will wait for more players before bringing up the IC.
Upon further consideration, I'm no longer as interested as I was after the interest check. I was very enticed by two main factors: the open world, and the prospect playing interesting villains. Both of those are still present, but there are some things which diminish my interest.

The obligation of powers, the limitations on character diversity (age and race), and what seems to be a heavy focus on combat diminish what I originally foresaw.

However, it's not the roleplay I anticipated after the interest check, and it is no longer as interesting to me. That's no one's fault, I believe.

Ah no problem Commandosaurus, I did quite some change to what i had originally planned to for this Rp as well so it might have lost some interest from before.
