There is one verrrry important rule. Do not, I repeat, do NOT use that bio format used in most RPs. I see one in an RP, I completely avoid it. It just annoys me that much.
This is the Realm, which I made three years ago in the 5th grade, and I'm still quite surprised at myself. Should this RP be successful, it will enter the history of the Realm and become a legend itself.
A few things to clear up, should it pop up:
The setting is mainly in
Balica, the largest kingdom in
Nariia's Realm.
Should anyone wonder, Nariia is the goddess of life and creation.
Now, Balica has
deserts toward the east, hills toward the west, and then finally,
the sea beyond the hills. It's quite the quick transition, and no one's really ever figured out how the hills stayed so lush, while the deserts, though propers from trade from two other kingdoms, is basically, completely, a desert. The cities there are in the southeastern corner, and all along the south border.
As you go north, the less civilzation there is. The hills mainly consist of farms, orchids, the such, but is extremely expensive to own, and most of which goes to the main cities. The desert experiences sun and occasionally rain for three seasons, but in the winter, it snows for about a week, and has been like this forever, basically.
The people there live mainly as traders or "Balician forgers", making items out of sand (after going through a long process of course). Purely Balician people are either has blond, orange or red hair, but mixes could result in most anything else.
On to the other things:
1. If anyone wants to be from other kingdoms, here's a little about them:
Faraduke- The second largest kingdom, part of Balica trade. New generations of mysticals are found to have lived there. The center kingdom, most diverse kingdom.
Grendilinen-Mainly wilderness, it's hugely influenced by Balica culture, and clothing and even the appearances of people are similar.
Natile- A huge magic kingdom, mainly because of the Mage Academy and Citadel. Mainly scholars, mages, apothacary apprentices, seers, and charmers (of items and beasts).
"Gypsy Territory"- Two turbulant territories, Ritakel and Makle (Makle being the one on the west side.). A lot of nomadic people travel between the kingdoms (which sits upon, you could say, a HUGE plateau).
Cromoke-Wasteland struggling to survive, it's a strip of land north of Balica.
Don't be from these kingdoms, but they're there:
Teradon- Wasteland from the Great Fire.
Duranham- Mystics and they keep to themselves.
Astonia-Basically fayes, and the gods, greater spirits, and the Great Mages. City on a cloud atop a mountain.
This is a "heaven", peaceful, mind you, and isn't a kingdom. The place is rather just hard to get to unless you're a great figure on the Realm, and dead.
Louni-Sea kingdom, lost, so don't even think about it. But you can mention it as a myth, because there's some undersea "villages" by Balica.
2. There is only ONE dragon (known) in the Realm, Saffren, the guardian of the Realm, whom is both feared and respected. Most other great beasts left to the Isle of Peace. Rare, but existing creatues include unicorns, draegas (a smaller winged, but flightless cousin of dragons), and Shapewings (think large snake+griffin). Sightings of Griffins have existed, though is doubtful and never proved.
Yes, I do know I'm standing next to a dragon in my introduction, and the word dragon is in the title. And your point is...
(remember, Saffren is the only KNOWN dragon
)
3. The Realm is an extremely magical place... to an extent. Ancient magic, which is elemental magic, is long gone, assuming this takes place sometime around my last story was held. The heroine of my last story, Faewyn, is the only and last holder of Ancient magic. Of course, little things don't count. You're just not able to lift vines out of the ground like she could. And most likely, you'd probably need a magical instrument to aid you with your power.
Sakya cupped her hands and drank from the oasis and then splashed her face in relief from the heat. It was surprising that she was the only human in the desert perhaps for miles as it would seem- she was still a child looking only around 15. Her clothes were lengthened repeatedly with dragonscales and scraps of misshaped cloth. Her hair was extremely tangled, sometimes looking like a passing tumbleweed, but every time a gust came by, it would release itself again and become loose and untangled.
The only companion of hers was now dipping its head in the water, taking a long drink. Latta was her name, a dragon, golden-bronze, like the sands beneath her. It was still young, only able to fly a few feet in the air before falling back down. She never had any human contact other than Sakya, though instincts told her to be cautious, she knew to trust Sakya. Of course, then there's the matter that the both did know that Latta was the only dragon besides Saffren that existed in the realm. How Latta came to be, neither knew.
Sakya had been wandering the desert all her life with Latta, whom she found as a child. She's never seen a big village, let alone a big city. She wanders only around the northern deserts, stealing from lone huts, always finding food just when all hope was lost. She knew little of the language, though did know a lot of what people spoke of, never tried to speak it herself. She never did come to trust her own kind, for she was left in the desert as as a child, and grew up in harsh conditions, but despite all that, survived. In a better look at it, she knew the desert better than anyone else. Her days of wandering gave her a mental map, when even people would only see endless sand dunes, she knew exactly where she was.
