Hey there I'm Angil and I have had this idea for an RP for quite a while. Being fairly fresh to RP I have had a hard time getting this off the ground. Due to its potential size I would love to get people to help me define it a bit more. Anyways, here is the story.


At the beginning of time, Se’phir was created. The Creator filled the land with many races. Humans, Elves, Demons, Beasts, and Fairies. Along with these creatures, the Creator placed six spirits to watch over them. Lir, ruler of water, took refuge in the seas to the North. The Beasts who dwell in the deserts depended on him to survive. Bel, ruler of fire, occupied the volcanoes in the southern Islands. The Demons who lived there bowed to him in fear of his deadly fires. Anu, ruler of earth, played with the Elves in the forests to the East. Shu, ruler of wind, flew through the mountains to the South. He gave flight to the Fairies’ wings. The twin dragons Abzu, ruler of light, and Tiamat, ruler of darkness, occupied a cave deep beneath the plains. Together, they flew across the land, maintaining peace across Se’phir.


However, as time went on the guardians began to lose their power over maintaining their physical form. With their energy dwindling, the guardians made the choice of creating pacts to preserve what little remained of their energy. Lir chose a beast, Bel chose a demon, Anu chose an elf, and Shu chose a fairy. These hosts obtained the power of the spirits and became known as the Warriors of Legend. A child from the direct bloodline would inherit the spirit and when they came to a certain age, the spirit and its power would awaken within the host, branding them with a symbol signifying they were chosen. Abzu and Tiamat were the only ones who did not initially make a pact with another.


A few centuries pass and the leaders of the races started a world war. Each land trying to control the others with the help of their Warrior of Legend. It continued for many years with no victor, just more and more death. A rebel group comprised of people from each race started to make a stand to end the war. They sought out the twin dragons, hoping they would help end the pointless war before it destroyed everything. They found the two sleeping in a deep cave, however, none entered for fear of their unimaginable power. Two days passed before a young elf offered to go. She had nothing to lose, the war had taken everything away from her. She was denied at first, but with no other offers, the leaders allowed the girl to plea to the dragons for help. The girl approached the two dragons with her head held high and determination in her heart. After explaining the situation, Tiamat scoffed at the little elf. However, Abzu saw a strong light within the girl. He agreed to help and made a pact with the girl. Within a year, the war was dissolved and a treaty between the countries was created.


For millennia, Se'phir was a unified land. Each of the kingdoms worked peacefully together and trusted one another. Then one day the king of the Human realm met an injured man named Arys Korinth while traveling. The king, being as kind as he was, took the man back to his castle and had him nursed back to health. During that time, the stranger and the king became close. Arys also had an agenda of his own. Deep beneath the castle is a cave in which the last legendary dragon sleeps and Arys had plans to make the dragon’s power his own. All who met the stranger said that he was a kind and polite. However, most would admit that he had an unsettling aura.


When the stranger was well and about to leave, the King asked the stranger to stay and be his chancellor. Arys agreed to help under the condition his identity remained unknown. He had found Tiamat’s lair and made a pact with him. This would be the perfect opportunity to give his new powers a test run. The other realms representatives did not approve of this decision but their opinion meant little to the king. As time went on, the King became secluded, no longer trusting of the other lands. Eventually, the king aimed to take control of all the lands and war again broke out. Outnumbering the King's army greatly, the other rulers did not fear defeat. That is, until they finally met on the battlefield. The king's army was one of ruthless killers. All were fearless, unforgiving, and did not stop until until his or his enemy's heart beat its last beat. At the head of the army was a giant black beast. The army decimated everything they came across. Seeing the destruction, all the countries agreed that the King must be stopped.


The rulers secretly held a meeting to discuss their options. After hours of debate, the oldest of the group reminded them of an old myth. Every generation there were those who are born with an old spirit. This spirit has unimaginable power and if the person is able to harness that power, they would become a legendary warrior. Seeing that there were no other options, the council decided to search for these individuals. After years of searching, they were able to find a handful of these warriors and with their power, they were able to finally defeat the army and kill the king.


However, no one was able to find the stranger who triggered all of this. It seemed that everyone who knew or served the man was either dead or had their memory of him wiped. The rulers only priority was to restore peace to the lands and they dismissed the idea of searching for the stranger.


Peace was returned and a new king was crowned. A millenium passes and not a ripple of unrest could be felt. Then one night Arys appeared once again with an attack upon the Elvin city of Elissid. With the power of Tiamat and the new army he has gathered. He plans to take not just his title back but to take all of Se’phir.
 
Hello Angil~, I'm Muffy~ ^3^ I love your idea and I'm surprised your having trouble with it, so what exactly do you need help with?
 
This idea is brilliant! What age were you planning to place the setting in, if you don't mind my asking?

Since I'm fairly new to this I have a hard time leading it and Keeping it going. So far the RP looked solely to me for every little thing to happen. I like the whole group to create the story and shape it and not many have been up to the challenge.
 
The backstory is well done, really. It sounds amazing! You can have those who are interested help you make a plot and save you the trouble of doing so later on.
 
I often get it going good but then a vital person goes poof and I have never been able to bounce back. My mentor tried to get me use to having to change things last minute by throwing monkey wrenches into the plot but I think since I know him so well I could take it and keep rolling. He has retired from RP but maybe if I can actually get this off the ground I might be able to pull him out of it. This has kinda been our baby.
 
Oh ok, I see what you mean. I'd like to be a part of the RP whenever you decide to start it, though.
