What is The Chronicles Of Genesia?
The Chronicles of Genesia is a roleplaying server based as a slightly edited (alternate) prequel to my original roleplaying server: The Lands of Genesia. The first server was really small, had a low amount of members and several other problems, and eventually went down due to bandwidth issues.
Now things are different. We have much larger cities compared to what we used to have, unlimited bandwidth, a brand new story that is in real time. Possibly one of the first of its kind.
Why is Genesia unique from other roleplaying servers?
Well, mainly due to the story, actually. As mentioned above, it all (Or mostly) takes place in real time. What this means, is that there are progressive story events (Not every five minutes or it would be much too fast of a story, but once in a while) that every player online can take part in. Maybe one time it will be a war, maybe a mystery that must be solved using teamwork. Who knows.
In any case, real time stories are very hard to manage, so please try to respect that and give it..Patience. If you don't like it, you don't really HAVE To take part in the story.
What can Genesia offer you?
Well, aside from the story, this world is open for you to conquer. We have Factions installed along with many other plugins (Probably Heroes in the future) such as McMMO, iConomy, and more.
But, that's not all. We also have a unique system of how you can use Factions, and how main races co-operate with its people.
A king or queen (Or leader of any kind) of a race DOES Have the right to control his entire race. Keep that in mind. However, that being said, you could obviously rebel against your leader.
Due to this fact, the leader makes all the decisions. He/she can start a war with another race, or make peace. They can choose to help during a story event (Who knows how large they will be ) or decide that they'd rather look out for themselves and their own people.
The leader can call upon everybody who is part of their race to help them (That doesn't mean they'll all help..)
However, this being said, you as the player can also do your own thing. You can create your own factions and conquer your own land, perhaps start your own entirely new empire. It's completely up to you.
The Story
Long ago, before anything existed, there were two beings. One was named Creation, the other Apocalypse. They lived peacefully at first, floating through the endless void of nothing. But they had different visions of how they should create the universe. Creation wanted it to be a peaceful place where they could watch civilizations grow and evolve. Apocalypse on the other hand wanted it to be a hellish place full of war, crime and fighting, so he could watch it for entertainment. They began to fight over this matter, eventually physical violence getting involved. Their magical energies while being smashed together created the universe as we know it. Matter and anti-matter, planets and stars. Creation soon after retreated to a planet called Earth. This was where she gave birth to the first species to live: The Generos. They were both a faction and a race. She created a vibrant, floating metropolis for them to live in, and for two thousand years that's exactly what they did. They did not even practice combat techniques.
That was their fatal mistake.
Two thousand years after they were born they had a very great civilization. But a great portal opened on a mountain near the floating island, and Apocalypse's demons swarmed out in great numbers. The Generos were unprepared and under trained, so they were slaughtered. The city lay in ruins, and nobody knows if it exists anymore. A few Generos, however, managed to escape. They haven't been seen since, but it is rumoured that they still live among you.
Apocalypse was never heard of again, as his mission was accomplished. And now, thousands of years later, Genesia is growing with new races upon it.
The Akines
The first of these races are the Akines. They are a somewhat mysterious race, as they haven't been around on the surface for very long. You see, a long time ago while Creation was still around, she had powerful gems imbued with magic, that had the power to create life as she saw fit. While she was on the floating island of the Generos, she accidentally dropped one off the edge. It fell all the way down to earth and tumbled down a small hill, into a ravine. It fell all the way to the bottom, and then further still through steep tunnels and holes within cave systems. Eventually it came to a stop when it landed in a pool of lava, deep near the earth's core. There it began to glow brightly once it stopped, and out came the Akines.
They are a mostly subterranean race that, at first, used lava completely as their source of light and warmth. They built cities of stone within the earth itself, adapting very quickly to live underground. They excelled at mining, and slowly, VERY slowly moved towards the surface. Over a century they moved higher and higher, slowly adapting to the changing atmosphere, until finally they broke through to the mysterious surface world. They were astounded to find that there were other races inhabiting the world as well.
The Nahveens
The second of these races is the Nahveens. They are rumoured to be the closest living descendants to the Generos for a few simple reasons. For one, they are the race that excels the most at magic, and are widely known for alchemy. The Generos were the only other race known to have been born with magical properties in their blood. Two, the Nahveens actually live on the top of a massive floating island. Nobody is sure whether it was created by them, or if it had always been there, but they are too old of a race to know themselves either.
Aside from that, they are a very mysterious race with no directly known backstory to them, which enforces the descendants of Generos idea. Perhaps you may uncover more in the future?
The Korls
The Korls are the surface dwelling race, and have been since they first came to exist on the earth. They are very industrious people who use wood as their main building material, but their castles and walls are made with stone. They live far from other civilizations across a vast ocean on a large island, barely connected to land. They're well known for their carpentry and woodcutting skills, as well as having some unique architectural skills. If you want work done or construction, these are normally the people to talk to.
It is rumoured that this race was actually a second directly created by Creation herself, however they do not have any magical properties in their blood (They can of course use it with training, they just don't excel at it,) but instead they are quite strong and resourceful.
Chapter 1: The Rise of Genesia
Genesia and the civilizations within it are just starting to truly be organized, their capitals finished construction, and leaders appointed. They have began to socialize with each other, trading and forming alliances. They're slowly building up their kingdom more and more, Genesia finally beginning to take shape as a (hopefully) permanent place. It's now your turn, with the power of free will, to make decisions to help shape this land. You will make your own enemies, and your own allies. For the time being, nothing threatens these lands, unless you choose to do so yourself.
So, how will you make your story in these lands? Will you be a wicked bandit, preying on travellers, or will you form alliances and attempt to create peace? It's up to you to decide, in Chapter 1.
Chapter 2: The Great War
At this time, demons have broken through the shield around Genesia's dimension. Rakaesa Demonheart has been infected by darkness, and a long forgotten demon side is beginning to infect him. And aside from that, demons are planning to begin attacking Genesia relentlessly. There has already been one minor attack, but they have been warned.
The population is seeking refuge in the Korl city, Korvat, as it is easily defendable. Now, things are starting to heat up and get intense. It is beginning to get interesting, and Genesia needs all the help it can get.
It has also recently been discovered that there are a few Generos still alive, and living within the community. These people are Rakaesa Demonheart, Delcro, Creothes and Alice. They have taught the people a few new skills, because soon the first demon general will be on his way for a battle.
The first demon general calls himself the Speed Master, for he can move as fast as the speed of light. Only the Nahveens have an ancient magic in their blood that they can use to detect the movement of him. Will they be able to defeat him?
The first and second generals were killed, and Chapter 2 was ended in an epic battle against the demon leader, the mysterious Vila'an. The battle lasted at least two hours in real life time and several roleplay days. It was incredible on a huge scale.
Chapter 3: The Darkness
The Legendary corrupt Dimension Keeper called End began raining hell upon Genesia, his army of Shadow Beings invading and attacking residents at will. He was made to be invincible, but a brave band of adventurers ventured forth and fought back the shadow beings, going to their base and destroying their shrine. They didn't stop for a moment and confronted End immediately, which lead to a very long battle, as he brought them to the Dimension Midpoint, where all dimensions intersect and are held together. The second battle went on there, and eventually they overpowered End, defeating him and ending the war.
Chapter 4: The Apocalypse
Things have turned to complete chaos. All was peaceful after defeating end, but not for long. A large meteor struck down from the sky, bringing with it dozens of demons from Apocalypse's Realm, The Nether. Several more flew into the distance after our adventurers killed the demons. Now they must go on a long quest to gather enough materials to build a very special portal to go to Creation's realm, where they hope to find The Council (The three gods together). But at the same time that they gather everything they must keep their eyes out for scattered meteors and kill any demons that they find, because if they don't Apocalypse may start to overrun the world. End had power, but Apocalypse has an eternity worth of resources. A lot is happening at the same time, and our adventurers must work together to overcome this. Will they be able to? Not without your help and everybody working together!
This chapter has ended and Apocalypse was killed by the mortals. B'ahm was killed in action by Apocalypse's hand, and so was Novarion. Thorian Velenorai was forced to kill himself after Apocalypse tried to corrupt him with his energy. But Creation brought Novarion back to life as the reward to the heroes.
Unfortunately, while they were talking to Creation, a might shockwave blew through all of existence, tearing Genesia apart. The players now live in a ruined world and need to figure out how to fix it all.
Chapter 5: Universe
Universe has struck existence, broken free now that Apocalypse's power was not holding him contained any longer. He is insane after an eternity of being locked away because of his power, and is now raining havoc upon existence. Our heroes must figure out how to fight back against such a huge power, or even find him in the first place, and perhaps find a chance of reversing the effects he has had on their world.
The players have learned that the Genesia they're in isn't actually their realm. It's a copy that Creation spoke of a long time ago, although not much is known about it, or what happened to the people that lived there. They suspect it may be possible to travel back to their own realm back to safety, but they still have Universe and sudden demons to deal with aswell.
The adventurers within Genesia travelled to Midpoint in search of a way to re-open their own realm, and with the help of the only remaining Dimension Keeper, Daem, they had success. However, Universe was trapped in their realm and escaped when they open it. He then destroyed Creation's realm. They were forced to retreat and Daem stayed, sacrificing himself to allow the mortals to escape.
They now have a plan with the Guardians to create an identical copy of Universe's original prison, so they went to request the help of Rakaesa Demonheart. Rakaesa was completely insane, assuming from Creation's death and everything that's happened, and they were forced to kill him.
The players have now allied the demon forces (Including what's left of Apocalypse, which is a mix of Apocalypse and Thorian because of past events.) And they now have a powerful ally against Universe. They may stand a chance.
What threats will Genesia, and its inhabitants, face next? Join in and find out!
Rules
PVP
1. No stealing or griefing race capital cities. Towns, bases, villages, homes, etc created by factions are all completely fair game. You just are not permitted to mess with the capitals.
2. PVP Is encouraged, however admins may give people rights to not be attacked if they're working on something important, or have a really good reason not to be, so be careful.
3. Bounty hunting is totally allowed, however you need to hear about the bounty IC, there is no actual mod. It's more realistic this way.
War
"War" is different from PVP, it's when an entire race goes to war with another.
1. War is allowed, but can only be started by the leaders of the races. (King, Queen, etc.)
2. You are not permitted to destroy capital cities even if you're having a war.
3. If you start a war, your leader must make sure an admin knows about it.
4. Once admins know about it, it is fair game to attack cities at will and kill everybody inside without damaging the buildings. If the leader is killed and enemies take control of the castle or palace, the capital now belongs to the new race, and they are permitted to do what they want with it.
5. Be mature during war. If you get killed, don't rage and instantly warp back to the town and attempt to beat people to death because you're angry. Keep your prized possessions at home, and if you lose, you lose unless you have backup gear. That's it, that's all.
Rebelling
If you don't like your leader (Or if your city has been captured by another race,) you are allowed to rebel against the leader.
1. If you rebel, the leader has the right to send you to any prison he might have built.
2. You should have a serious reason for rebelling. Not "Oh my god, he stole my apple."
General
1. No swearing excessively in OOC. However, this is not a family friendly server. A little bit of colourful language is fine to a certain extent.
2. Be mature at all times, please.
3. Use the best grammar you have. No l33t speak. Try to use capitals, occasional typos I could care less about. But I'd rather not have my eyes bleed because your text is so messed up.
4. No harassing in OOC. If you have a problem, argue in PMs at least. If it's serious or you need a second opinion, talk to an admin. I don't want any big fighting.
5. RESPECT ALL ADMINS. If they tell you something's wrong, seriously, just listen to them. Don't risk getting kicked or worse. All admin names will probably have a colour to them, and their names will be listed at the bottom.
6. No Metagaming
7. No Godmoding.
6. No hacking, cheating, xraying, using xray texture packs, or anything of the sort. Put the word "Cake" At the end of your application to prove you've read the rules.
7. No Trolling.
Application
The normal application should be set up as follows
IGN: We need this to add you to the whitelist. Age(Optional): Gender(Optional):
Character Name: Your roleplay character's name. Character's Age: His or her's age. Character's Race: What race is he from? Character's Physical Appearance: Put info here if your skin doesn't perfectly show them, or a link to a picture that you would use for them. Character Backstory: At least a paragraph (Not some really short 4 sentence paragraph either) of decent quality. Just tell us about his past, where he grew up, what kind of person he is, etc.
Event Helper Application
Basically, we will have story events as mentioned somewhere above once in a while. Some of these events may or may not require additional characters (For large battles, etc). If you think you would be willing to be one of these characters (Taking orders about the story from the admins in charge of the event(s), just make an application based on this. You may not roleplay as your normal character and this at the same time. You can put this application in the same post as your normal one, or make a seperate application if you change your mind later on.
IGN:
Why you're a good candidate: (Why should we pick you to be an event helper? It could be any reason, really.)
Are you a mature roleplayer?: (Yes/no, examples if you really want.)
Moderator Application
I'm not sure WHEN I will be accepting these, and I really don't trust a lot of people so the post will have to be damn good, and I should have seen you for a while on the server.
IGN: Why you should be picked to be moderator: Have you ever been one before?: Have you ever griefed or cheated?: Are you mature? Serious?:
Side note for people who don't know how to roleplay
This is a roleplay server. If you join with no experience and run around like a complete idiot, there will be some anger.
If you don't know how to roleplay, I may be willing to give lessons, but I can't be in the middle of something. If you don't know how to roleplay, please put it in your application ahead of time and we'll see.
The IP, Once you've been accepted, is 108.174.48.204:25665
Hope to see you there!
P.S: This server is still in its early stages, there's bound to be bugs with mods and so on. Please report any you find. Also, you can make plugin suggestions if you want (Bukkit of course), and we do plan to someday implement Heroes (Although we're having problems with it, and MC Is obviously updated, etc.) So bare with us!
If you donate we can discuss your reward in-game as I haven't thought of a real "Status", but you will be allowed to get a color for your name and some lanas, maybe a stack of items, it depends on the amount you donated.
New server website: http://chroniclesofg....enjin.com/home Feel free to post applications for any app in the application section in the forums there. It's much more organized than the MC forums thread.
Smexygamer: This server can survive through anything. I can assure you that much, anyone considering to go on it. I personally know from experience that it has had times where few went on. Those times always end.
The server owner is charming, funny, and a good host at all times, who really knows when to joke around and when to take stuff seriously. The mods/admins are all pretty damn unique in their own way, whether they're amazing builders, extremely friendly people, or fantastic storytellers who can really make you feel like you're in the RP, or otherwise make you wish you weren't in it, if they are playing as villains. I've learnt from experience that there are new people entering Genesia every day. There are very rare cases of people leaving the magical place. All in all, give it a go, and I can assure you that you won't regret it. Thanks for your time.
Varzkkar: Time for my review on this server. After a month (maybe two? Not too sure haha, time sure goes by fast) of playing here, I feel like the least I can do is to make a review!
I joined this server while looking for a good RP server with BcParadise, and it didn't let us down. This server might not have the most players, it's community is steadily growing into a great one. Problematic players are dealt with, ensuring you a great time on the server. Focusing on roleplay, Chronicles of Genesia has great events in which anyone can take part. These events are generally linked to the storyline and are enjoyable.
While it may be hard on those who have little to no experience with RP, if you behave well and listen to the advices your fellow players give you, your roleplaying "skills" will improve at a drastic rate, seeing there are multiple RP veterans on the server.
For experienced roleplayers, Chronicles of Genesia is a place where the joy of roleplay will be at its best for you.
Have I convinced you to apply? If so, create a character with a well-written backstory and chances are you're on your way to the world of Genesia!
Character Name: Andrew Priest
Character's Age: 21
Character's Race: The Korls
Character's Physical Appearance: I'll use the new skin I made. It's not the best in the world but my old skin Mr. Lab coat won't work very well. http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/andrewsuth.png
Character Backstory:
Abandoned to a secluded monastery that worshiped The Creator Andrew knows nothing of his lineage. He was given the name of the leader of the monastery, Father Andrew Varis, His last name was given to him by the order as a sign that he would become a great priest. Until the age of 9 Andrew lived the life a a monk and learned the scriptures of the creator. It was then that Andrew's life began to fall apart. The monastery was attacked by a group of Nahvenn radicalists who believed they were the chosen people of the Creator and all other's were beneath them. The priests refused to fight as they were slaughtered by the magic of the Nahvenn. Andrew barely escaped with his life.
Running for his life Andrew collapsed in the middle of a large road. When he awoke he was ridding in a carriage next to a women who was tending to him. Though the group of traders saved him they had no intentions of taking care of him, so they abandoned him in the first town in which they arrived. Having been raised in the church, that is where he headed first. When he arrived there, however, he witnessed an event that would be burned into his memory for the rest of his life. In the plaza in front of the church he witnessed in front of everyone the raping of a young woman at the hands of the high priest.
Horrified, confused, and not knowing who to trust, Andrew slept in the streets, He ate whatever he could get his hands on. He was on the verge of death when a Korls government official entered the town on a mission to more closely unite the new nation. Seeing him on the streets this benevolent man took Andrew in. Upon returning to the capital Andrew began working in the government as a errand boy, and was tutored by his guardian in swordsmanship.
Today Andrew has climbed the latter of the government to the point where he is the youngest member of the council as Chief of Internal Affairs. Although the corruption he witnessed as a child was secluded he has long since turned his back on the church. He is still, however, a very holy man and has kept the name Priest in honor of the priests that raised him.
(If anything contradicts your planned story tell me and I'll do my best to change it.)
_________________________________________________________________
I guess you could consider my background story to be my application to being a leader of the Korls. As cool as being king sounds I feel I shouldn't request it because I have no clue how much free time I will have in the coming weeks onward with finals and the new semester starting. I will try to be on as much as possible if awarded my requested position.
Why you're a good candidate: If I'm awarded my position in the government I'm not to interested in this opportunity as i will play a large part in the role play anyway. However, I'm am very willing to follow admin... they wouldn't really be orders but prompts, to move the story along. If you really need someone to plan an important temporary character and no one else is volunteering i will take it and put Andrew Priest on hold.
Are you a mature roleplayer?: I'd say yes, I used to forum role play but I didn't enjoy how long it took to get a story moving along or how long you had to wait for a response. I enjoy the chat type role play much more it's more fast paced and there is no dispute over who would win in a fight ya just do it.
Moderator Application
IGN: andrewsuth
Why you should be picked to be moderator: similar to the event character application I have no real want to be a moderator, but if you need someone I'm willing to do it.
Have you ever been one before?: Yes and no, mostly no, My friend ran a small server for a short period of time and I was a Admin on there until it failed. (maybe it was because of bad admins ;P)
Have you ever griefed or cheated?: hmmmmm i stole my friends mellon once does that count? The only thing i can really think of was ransacking someone's house on a pvp server where it was allowed.
Are you mature? Serious?: Only when I need to be, but in all seriousness I am a laid back guy so i feel i can successfully look at a situation and find who needs to be banned and who in innocent. So yes although i might not be serious out side of when the role play calls for it, I believe i could be very mature and serious as far as moderator duties.
and late but not least, as always, Cake
(I almost forgot)

(if anything goes against the story tell meand ill dothe best i can to fix it)
almost forgot cake
Ok but one question do you ever plan to update the server to 1.1(I think this is the right version)
You haven't played many Bukkit servers, have you?
Bukkit is a custom server software with its own plugins made by its community.
Bukkit is outdated whenever Minecraft updates.
It can take a week or more for Bukkit to update, and then the server owner must go through the trouble of updating all the plugins and re-configuring them.

So yes, I will update to 1.1 when Bukkit does.
The first server I ever played uses bukkit and i geuss i should have put two and two together so sorry for that
Character's Physical Appearance: He is always dressed in a blue robe, with a yellow rim around his face. His face is completely blacked out from the darkness emitted from the inside of the robe. The robe itself was a passed down gift from his family.
Character Backstory: After moving as a child to the halls of Trincea, I never got to see my real home. I would wake up in the middle of the night, feeling a gust of wind against my face, and looking out to see that I was one with the clouds. One word would always haunt me. Home. After spending time at the Mage's College, I discovered that I had a natural talent for spellcasting. This got me far. Graduating three years earlier than expected, I was determined to figure out the mystery of that one word. My parents knew, from the moment I stepped through their door, what I was going to ask. They told me of a far off land called Genesia, as well as my ancestry. The great Nahvenn. The race with magic residing inside them. I knew that I was different. One month later, I packed my bags and left. I decided to live at my birthplace. My home.
Event Helper Application
IGN: blackbeltmascot (as i said before :tongue.gif:)
Why you're a good candidate: I am an actor. Really, haha. I love getting into a new role and being someone else. I find joy in roleplaying, and I believe it would be great!
Are you a mature roleplayer?: I am. I don't really have an example, but if it came to it, I would write a script for my character, and then improv off of that. Also... I feel that it would be... Safer? To just have the person's character be given instructions from the admins. Like... "Amestro must betray his country". And then Amestro comes back later to show that he only did it to "save the lives of his parents". Something like that would be interesting in my opinion. Nonetheless, thank you for reading my application... Cake
As for mod... I would like to earn that, not just apply for it.
And plugins... I personally enjoy Towny much more than I do Factions. It's more of an opinion than anything else. I also quite enjoy Spout, as it adds a lot of features to the game.
Long Live Creation
The Lands Of Genesia return once again, this time as a prequel.

What is The Chronicles Of Genesia?
The Chronicles of Genesia is a roleplaying server based as a slightly edited (alternate) prequel to my original roleplaying server: The Lands of Genesia. The first server was really small, had a low amount of members and several other problems, and eventually went down due to bandwidth issues.
Now things are different. We have much larger cities compared to what we used to have, unlimited bandwidth, a brand new story that is in real time. Possibly one of the first of its kind.
Why is Genesia unique from other roleplaying servers?
Well, mainly due to the story, actually. As mentioned above, it all (Or mostly) takes place in real time. What this means, is that there are progressive story events (Not every five minutes or it would be much too fast of a story, but once in a while) that every player online can take part in. Maybe one time it will be a war, maybe a mystery that must be solved using teamwork. Who knows.
In any case, real time stories are very hard to manage, so please try to respect that and give it..Patience. If you don't like it, you don't really HAVE To take part in the story.
What can Genesia offer you?
Well, aside from the story, this world is open for you to conquer. We have Factions installed along with many other plugins (Probably Heroes in the future) such as McMMO, iConomy, and more.
But, that's not all. We also have a unique system of how you can use Factions, and how main races co-operate with its people.
A king or queen (Or leader of any kind) of a race DOES Have the right to control his entire race. Keep that in mind. However, that being said, you could obviously rebel against your leader.
Due to this fact, the leader makes all the decisions. He/she can start a war with another race, or make peace. They can choose to help during a story event (Who knows how large they will be ) or decide that they'd rather look out for themselves and their own people.
The leader can call upon everybody who is part of their race to help them (That doesn't mean they'll all help..)
However, this being said, you as the player can also do your own thing. You can create your own factions and conquer your own land, perhaps start your own entirely new empire. It's completely up to you.
The Story
Long ago, before anything existed, there were two beings. One was named Creation, the other Apocalypse. They lived peacefully at first, floating through the endless void of nothing. But they had different visions of how they should create the universe. Creation wanted it to be a peaceful place where they could watch civilizations grow and evolve. Apocalypse on the other hand wanted it to be a hellish place full of war, crime and fighting, so he could watch it for entertainment. They began to fight over this matter, eventually physical violence getting involved. Their magical energies while being smashed together created the universe as we know it. Matter and anti-matter, planets and stars. Creation soon after retreated to a planet called Earth. This was where she gave birth to the first species to live: The Generos. They were both a faction and a race. She created a vibrant, floating metropolis for them to live in, and for two thousand years that's exactly what they did. They did not even practice combat techniques.
That was their fatal mistake.
Two thousand years after they were born they had a very great civilization. But a great portal opened on a mountain near the floating island, and Apocalypse's demons swarmed out in great numbers. The Generos were unprepared and under trained, so they were slaughtered. The city lay in ruins, and nobody knows if it exists anymore. A few Generos, however, managed to escape. They haven't been seen since, but it is rumoured that they still live among you.
Apocalypse was never heard of again, as his mission was accomplished. And now, thousands of years later, Genesia is growing with new races upon it.
The Akines
The first of these races are the Akines. They are a somewhat mysterious race, as they haven't been around on the surface for very long. You see, a long time ago while Creation was still around, she had powerful gems imbued with magic, that had the power to create life as she saw fit. While she was on the floating island of the Generos, she accidentally dropped one off the edge. It fell all the way down to earth and tumbled down a small hill, into a ravine. It fell all the way to the bottom, and then further still through steep tunnels and holes within cave systems. Eventually it came to a stop when it landed in a pool of lava, deep near the earth's core. There it began to glow brightly once it stopped, and out came the Akines.
They are a mostly subterranean race that, at first, used lava completely as their source of light and warmth. They built cities of stone within the earth itself, adapting very quickly to live underground. They excelled at mining, and slowly, VERY slowly moved towards the surface. Over a century they moved higher and higher, slowly adapting to the changing atmosphere, until finally they broke through to the mysterious surface world. They were astounded to find that there were other races inhabiting the world as well.
The Nahveens
The second of these races is the Nahveens. They are rumoured to be the closest living descendants to the Generos for a few simple reasons. For one, they are the race that excels the most at magic, and are widely known for alchemy. The Generos were the only other race known to have been born with magical properties in their blood. Two, the Nahveens actually live on the top of a massive floating island. Nobody is sure whether it was created by them, or if it had always been there, but they are too old of a race to know themselves either.
Aside from that, they are a very mysterious race with no directly known backstory to them, which enforces the descendants of Generos idea. Perhaps you may uncover more in the future?
The Korls
The Korls are the surface dwelling race, and have been since they first came to exist on the earth. They are very industrious people who use wood as their main building material, but their castles and walls are made with stone. They live far from other civilizations across a vast ocean on a large island, barely connected to land. They're well known for their carpentry and woodcutting skills, as well as having some unique architectural skills. If you want work done or construction, these are normally the people to talk to.
It is rumoured that this race was actually a second directly created by Creation herself, however they do not have any magical properties in their blood (They can of course use it with training, they just don't excel at it,) but instead they are quite strong and resourceful.
Chapter 1: The Rise of Genesia
Genesia and the civilizations within it are just starting to truly be organized, their capitals finished construction, and leaders appointed. They have began to socialize with each other, trading and forming alliances. They're slowly building up their kingdom more and more, Genesia finally beginning to take shape as a (hopefully) permanent place. It's now your turn, with the power of free will, to make decisions to help shape this land. You will make your own enemies, and your own allies. For the time being, nothing threatens these lands, unless you choose to do so yourself.
So, how will you make your story in these lands? Will you be a wicked bandit, preying on travellers, or will you form alliances and attempt to create peace? It's up to you to decide, in Chapter 1.
Chapter 2: The Great War
At this time, demons have broken through the shield around Genesia's dimension. Rakaesa Demonheart has been infected by darkness, and a long forgotten demon side is beginning to infect him. And aside from that, demons are planning to begin attacking Genesia relentlessly. There has already been one minor attack, but they have been warned.
The population is seeking refuge in the Korl city, Korvat, as it is easily defendable. Now, things are starting to heat up and get intense. It is beginning to get interesting, and Genesia needs all the help it can get.
It has also recently been discovered that there are a few Generos still alive, and living within the community. These people are Rakaesa Demonheart, Delcro, Creothes and Alice. They have taught the people a few new skills, because soon the first demon general will be on his way for a battle.
The first demon general calls himself the Speed Master, for he can move as fast as the speed of light. Only the Nahveens have an ancient magic in their blood that they can use to detect the movement of him. Will they be able to defeat him?
The first and second generals were killed, and Chapter 2 was ended in an epic battle against the demon leader, the mysterious Vila'an. The battle lasted at least two hours in real life time and several roleplay days. It was incredible on a huge scale.
Chapter 3: The Darkness
The Legendary corrupt Dimension Keeper called End began raining hell upon Genesia, his army of Shadow Beings invading and attacking residents at will. He was made to be invincible, but a brave band of adventurers ventured forth and fought back the shadow beings, going to their base and destroying their shrine. They didn't stop for a moment and confronted End immediately, which lead to a very long battle, as he brought them to the Dimension Midpoint, where all dimensions intersect and are held together. The second battle went on there, and eventually they overpowered End, defeating him and ending the war.
Chapter 4: The Apocalypse
Things have turned to complete chaos. All was peaceful after defeating end, but not for long. A large meteor struck down from the sky, bringing with it dozens of demons from Apocalypse's Realm, The Nether. Several more flew into the distance after our adventurers killed the demons. Now they must go on a long quest to gather enough materials to build a very special portal to go to Creation's realm, where they hope to find The Council (The three gods together). But at the same time that they gather everything they must keep their eyes out for scattered meteors and kill any demons that they find, because if they don't Apocalypse may start to overrun the world. End had power, but Apocalypse has an eternity worth of resources. A lot is happening at the same time, and our adventurers must work together to overcome this. Will they be able to? Not without your help and everybody working together!
This chapter has ended and Apocalypse was killed by the mortals. B'ahm was killed in action by Apocalypse's hand, and so was Novarion. Thorian Velenorai was forced to kill himself after Apocalypse tried to corrupt him with his energy. But Creation brought Novarion back to life as the reward to the heroes.
Unfortunately, while they were talking to Creation, a might shockwave blew through all of existence, tearing Genesia apart. The players now live in a ruined world and need to figure out how to fix it all.
Chapter 5: Universe
Universe has struck existence, broken free now that Apocalypse's power was not holding him contained any longer. He is insane after an eternity of being locked away because of his power, and is now raining havoc upon existence. Our heroes must figure out how to fight back against such a huge power, or even find him in the first place, and perhaps find a chance of reversing the effects he has had on their world.
The players have learned that the Genesia they're in isn't actually their realm. It's a copy that Creation spoke of a long time ago, although not much is known about it, or what happened to the people that lived there. They suspect it may be possible to travel back to their own realm back to safety, but they still have Universe and sudden demons to deal with aswell.
The adventurers within Genesia travelled to Midpoint in search of a way to re-open their own realm, and with the help of the only remaining Dimension Keeper, Daem, they had success. However, Universe was trapped in their realm and escaped when they open it. He then destroyed Creation's realm. They were forced to retreat and Daem stayed, sacrificing himself to allow the mortals to escape.
They now have a plan with the Guardians to create an identical copy of Universe's original prison, so they went to request the help of Rakaesa Demonheart. Rakaesa was completely insane, assuming from Creation's death and everything that's happened, and they were forced to kill him.
The players have now allied the demon forces (Including what's left of Apocalypse, which is a mix of Apocalypse and Thorian because of past events.) And they now have a powerful ally against Universe. They may stand a chance.
What threats will Genesia, and its inhabitants, face next? Join in and find out!
Rules
PVP
1. No stealing or griefing race capital cities. Towns, bases, villages, homes, etc created by factions are all completely fair game. You just are not permitted to mess with the capitals.
2. PVP Is encouraged, however admins may give people rights to not be attacked if they're working on something important, or have a really good reason not to be, so be careful.
3. Bounty hunting is totally allowed, however you need to hear about the bounty IC, there is no actual mod. It's more realistic this way.
War
"War" is different from PVP, it's when an entire race goes to war with another.
1. War is allowed, but can only be started by the leaders of the races. (King, Queen, etc.)
2. You are not permitted to destroy capital cities even if you're having a war.
3. If you start a war, your leader must make sure an admin knows about it.
4. Once admins know about it, it is fair game to attack cities at will and kill everybody inside without damaging the buildings. If the leader is killed and enemies take control of the castle or palace, the capital now belongs to the new race, and they are permitted to do what they want with it.
5. Be mature during war. If you get killed, don't rage and instantly warp back to the town and attempt to beat people to death because you're angry. Keep your prized possessions at home, and if you lose, you lose unless you have backup gear. That's it, that's all.
Rebelling
If you don't like your leader (Or if your city has been captured by another race,) you are allowed to rebel against the leader.
1. If you rebel, the leader has the right to send you to any prison he might have built.
2. You should have a serious reason for rebelling. Not "Oh my god, he stole my apple."
General
1. No swearing excessively in OOC. However, this is not a family friendly server. A little bit of colourful language is fine to a certain extent.
2. Be mature at all times, please.
3. Use the best grammar you have. No l33t speak. Try to use capitals, occasional typos I could care less about. But I'd rather not have my eyes bleed because your text is so messed up.
4. No harassing in OOC. If you have a problem, argue in PMs at least. If it's serious or you need a second opinion, talk to an admin. I don't want any big fighting.
5. RESPECT ALL ADMINS. If they tell you something's wrong, seriously, just listen to them. Don't risk getting kicked or worse. All admin names will probably have a colour to them, and their names will be listed at the bottom.
6. No Metagaming
7. No Godmoding.
6. No hacking, cheating, xraying, using xray texture packs, or anything of the sort.
Put the word "Cake" At the end of your application to prove you've read the rules.
7. No Trolling.

A review from one of our members:
Smexygamer: This server can survive through anything. I can assure you that much, anyone considering to go on it. I personally know from experience that it has had times where few went on. Those times always end.
The server owner is charming, funny, and a good host at all times, who really knows when to joke around and when to take stuff seriously.
The mods/admins are all pretty damn unique in their own way, whether they're amazing builders, extremely friendly people, or fantastic storytellers who can really make you feel like you're in the RP, or otherwise make you wish you weren't in it, if they are playing as villains.
I've learnt from experience that there are new people entering Genesia every day. There are very rare cases of people leaving the magical place.
All in all, give it a go, and I can assure you that you won't regret it.
Thanks for your time.
Varzkkar: Time for my review on this server. After a month (maybe two? Not too sure haha, time sure goes by fast) of playing here, I feel like the least I can do is to make a review!
I joined this server while looking for a good RP server with BcParadise, and it didn't let us down. This server might not have the most players, it's community is steadily growing into a great one. Problematic players are dealt with, ensuring you a great time on the server. Focusing on roleplay, Chronicles of Genesia has great events in which anyone can take part. These events are generally linked to the storyline and are enjoyable.
While it may be hard on those who have little to no experience with RP, if you behave well and listen to the advices your fellow players give you, your roleplaying "skills" will improve at a drastic rate, seeing there are multiple RP veterans on the server.
For experienced roleplayers, Chronicles of Genesia is a place where the joy of roleplay will be at its best for you.
Have I convinced you to apply? If so, create a character with a well-written backstory and chances are you're on your way to the world of Genesia!

Character Name: Andrew Priest
Character's Age: 21
Character's Race: The Korls
Character's Physical Appearance: I'll use the new skin I made. It's not the best in the world but my old skin Mr. Lab coat won't work very well.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/andrewsuth.png
Character Backstory:
Abandoned to a secluded monastery that worshiped The Creator Andrew knows nothing of his lineage. He was given the name of the leader of the monastery, Father Andrew Varis, His last name was given to him by the order as a sign that he would become a great priest. Until the age of 9 Andrew lived the life a a monk and learned the scriptures of the creator. It was then that Andrew's life began to fall apart. The monastery was attacked by a group of Nahvenn radicalists who believed they were the chosen people of the Creator and all other's were beneath them. The priests refused to fight as they were slaughtered by the magic of the Nahvenn. Andrew barely escaped with his life.
Running for his life Andrew collapsed in the middle of a large road. When he awoke he was ridding in a carriage next to a women who was tending to him. Though the group of traders saved him they had no intentions of taking care of him, so they abandoned him in the first town in which they arrived. Having been raised in the church, that is where he headed first. When he arrived there, however, he witnessed an event that would be burned into his memory for the rest of his life. In the plaza in front of the church he witnessed in front of everyone the raping of a young woman at the hands of the high priest.
Horrified, confused, and not knowing who to trust, Andrew slept in the streets, He ate whatever he could get his hands on. He was on the verge of death when a Korls government official entered the town on a mission to more closely unite the new nation. Seeing him on the streets this benevolent man took Andrew in. Upon returning to the capital Andrew began working in the government as a errand boy, and was tutored by his guardian in swordsmanship.
Today Andrew has climbed the latter of the government to the point where he is the youngest member of the council as Chief of Internal Affairs. Although the corruption he witnessed as a child was secluded he has long since turned his back on the church. He is still, however, a very holy man and has kept the name Priest in honor of the priests that raised him.
(If anything contradicts your planned story tell me and I'll do my best to change it.)
_________________________________________________________________
I guess you could consider my background story to be my application to being a leader of the Korls. As cool as being king sounds I feel I shouldn't request it because I have no clue how much free time I will have in the coming weeks onward with finals and the new semester starting. I will try to be on as much as possible if awarded my requested position.
__________________________________________________________________
IGN: andrewsuth
Why you're a good candidate: If I'm awarded my position in the government I'm not to interested in this opportunity as i will play a large part in the role play anyway. However, I'm am very willing to follow admin... they wouldn't really be orders but prompts, to move the story along. If you really need someone to plan an important temporary character and no one else is volunteering i will take it and put Andrew Priest on hold.
Are you a mature roleplayer?: I'd say yes, I used to forum role play but I didn't enjoy how long it took to get a story moving along or how long you had to wait for a response. I enjoy the chat type role play much more it's more fast paced and there is no dispute over who would win in a fight ya just do it.
Moderator Application
IGN: andrewsuth
Why you should be picked to be moderator: similar to the event character application I have no real want to be a moderator, but if you need someone I'm willing to do it.
Have you ever been one before?: Yes and no, mostly no, My friend ran a small server for a short period of time and I was a Admin on there until it failed. (maybe it was because of bad admins ;P)
Have you ever griefed or cheated?: hmmmmm i stole my friends mellon once does that count? The only thing i can really think of was ransacking someone's house on a pvp server where it was allowed.
Are you mature? Serious?: Only when I need to be, but in all seriousness I am a laid back guy so i feel i can successfully look at a situation and find who needs to be banned and who in innocent. So yes although i might not be serious out side of when the role play calls for it, I believe i could be very mature and serious as far as moderator duties.
and late but not least, as always, Cake
(I almost forgot)
On a side not, are you from Aeonis? If you are, I'm Rakaesa (Or occasionally Thorian) lol.

(if anything goes against the story tell meand ill dothe best i can to fix it)
almost forgot cake
ok ill be on soon I might have got away from keyboard alot but ill be on still
I just tryed to get on but it says the server is outdated
Yes..The title does say 1.0.0 .
You need to use MCNostalgia to downpatch.
Ok but one question do you ever plan to update the server to 1.1(I think this is the right version)
You haven't played many Bukkit servers, have you?
Bukkit is a custom server software with its own plugins made by its community.
Bukkit is outdated whenever Minecraft updates.
It can take a week or more for Bukkit to update, and then the server owner must go through the trouble of updating all the plugins and re-configuring them.
So yes, I will update to 1.1 when Bukkit does.
The first server I ever played uses bukkit and i geuss i should have put two and two together so sorry for that
Sorry, I upgraded and I'm having some issues downgrading
Solution: Go download MCNostalgia 2.0.1
2. Extract onto PC
3. Run application file called "MCNostalgia2.0.1"
4. Choose option 1
5. Profit.

Character Name: Amestro
Character's Age: 21
Character's Race: He is a Nahvenn
Character's Physical Appearance: He is always dressed in a blue robe, with a yellow rim around his face. His face is completely blacked out from the darkness emitted from the inside of the robe. The robe itself was a passed down gift from his family.
Character Backstory: After moving as a child to the halls of Trincea, I never got to see my real home. I would wake up in the middle of the night, feeling a gust of wind against my face, and looking out to see that I was one with the clouds. One word would always haunt me. Home. After spending time at the Mage's College, I discovered that I had a natural talent for spellcasting. This got me far. Graduating three years earlier than expected, I was determined to figure out the mystery of that one word. My parents knew, from the moment I stepped through their door, what I was going to ask. They told me of a far off land called Genesia, as well as my ancestry. The great Nahvenn. The race with magic residing inside them. I knew that I was different. One month later, I packed my bags and left. I decided to live at my birthplace. My home.
Event Helper Application
IGN: blackbeltmascot (as i said before :tongue.gif:)
Why you're a good candidate: I am an actor. Really, haha. I love getting into a new role and being someone else. I find joy in roleplaying, and I believe it would be great!
Are you a mature roleplayer?: I am. I don't really have an example, but if it came to it, I would write a script for my character, and then improv off of that. Also... I feel that it would be... Safer? To just have the person's character be given instructions from the admins. Like... "Amestro must betray his country". And then Amestro comes back later to show that he only did it to "save the lives of his parents". Something like that would be interesting in my opinion. Nonetheless, thank you for reading my application... Cake
As for mod... I would like to earn that, not just apply for it.
And plugins... I personally enjoy Towny much more than I do Factions. It's more of an opinion than anything else. I also quite enjoy Spout, as it adds a lot of features to the game.
