Since ancient times on the world of Nausschie certain people have been born with powerful abilities. These people are often called Regents as historically, a large percentage of Kings had these powers. Their power appears at birth and grows stronger over life, maxing out at about 30. Only a small percentage of people are born as Regents, perhaps 1 in 1000, however, they have always been the key to a strong military. The Regent's powers come in two general types. First, are those with extreme skill with a certain weapon, the weapon is always a blade or other melee weapon. The person is usually extremely fast or strong, and extremely skilled in their weapon's use. They often have other skills related to their weapon or a secondary, weaker elemental power. The second main category are the elementals. They often can control their element in nature and almost always have attacks associated with their element. For example, an earth elemental would have control of all natural rocks, not buildings or rubble though, and would be able to move rocks as they wished. Elementals often have traits associated with their elements, a earth elemental would be unusually strong. On Nausschie though, even people who were not Regents had a single, weak power. For example, a person may have the ability to be invisible for a matter of seconds, the ability to see those who are invisible, an ability to heal small wounds perhaps. Regardless, for thousands of years Regents ruled the battlefields and countries on Nausschie, common people were only fodder. Then, as with our world, Nausschie went through an industrial revolution. Guns were developed and the common man's power was growing. After a time, Nausschie reached a level of technology comparable with our own, common people were on the same level as Regents. Eventually two superpowers emerged, and a situation comparable to the cold war emerged, and unlike on Earth, theirs turned hot. Much of Nausschie was nuked, bombed, razed, or otherwise destroyed. The climate was changed, near the equator it became endless desert, and on formerly temperate latitudes the temperature plummeted. Upwards of 80% of the population was killed. For years, survivors struggled to survive in a wasted planet, often fighting with each other. With the emergence of city-states civilization began to return. Eventually all of the major city-states joined together into the Nausschie Coalition. Things were looking up, the Union had become self-sufficient food-wise and was making progress in re-industrializing. Much of their goods they got from the ruins of cities but still, they were afforded some level of comfort. However, In the wake the nuclear war's destruction, some Regents saw their chance to return to their former power. With a drug that would cause the Regent's trait to become hereditary, they planned to make a nation of Regents. Knowing that the Coalition would be opposed to this and that a war would likely follow they decided to take the first shot. With their all Regent army they attacked one of the outer colonies of the Coalition and made it the capitol of their Regent Union. The Regents followed up this victory with several more, but were eventually stopped by the combined forces of all the Coalition. Enraged by the betrayal of the Regents the Coalition kicked all Regents out of their cities, killing many. They began stepping up war production with a goal of wiping out the threat posed by the Regents. The bulk of the Coalition army is dedicated to defending the Coalition's cities, the only ones who actually see combat with the Regents are mercenaries, often scouting for valuable goods in city ruins in addition to hunting regents. The mercenaries usually travel in groups, they aim to gang up on their counterparts, the Regent mercenaries and kill them. The price for a single Regent is quite high. The risk is as well. In a one on one fight a Coalition man has no chance against a Regent. Three on one is considered an even fight but even with larger numbers it is extremely dangerous work. You will either be a Regent or control a group (~4) of Union Mercs. Regents usually work alone. The goal of mercenaries on either side is to 1. Scavange any important goods 2. Kill mercenaries of the other side They would usually search in the ruined cities. Regent Union Name: Age: Appearance: Weapon: (If applicable) Power: Nausschie Coalition Name: Age: Appearance: Weapon: Power: Include Bio if you want. All characters must be approved before rp'ing. Killing other characters is allowed. This will be moderated, can't be done extremely easily. I'll start it once there are several people, feel free to ask questions if there are any. |

OOC: Are these simply elements of nature that we are familiar, or can they be taken from Taoism? |

Not to beat on you but... -Please follow the form -Its not Earth, no New Mexico -People are born with their powers -Clothes aren't very suited for the desert or cold climate -Floor into fire attack may be a little much
Can't think of the Taoist elements atm but I think they should be fine. |

Regent Union Name: Aizawa Age: 21 Appearance:  Weapon: kodachis Power: Using the power of wind, Aizawa can travel at speeds faster than the eye can see. As such, he uses his quick movements to quickly get behind his opponents, attacks with his swords, and returns to his previous location, making it appear as though he has never moved. Futhermore, he can form a strong current of air around his hand or swords, allowing him to deflect light projectiles such as shurikens or kunai knives. |
