Fandom Metaphor/Persona-based RP

[Kumii]

Let me explain. This is going to be it's own world but has elements from the Metaphor/Persona games. Namely, those pesky Personas and Archetypes from their respective games.

The World

The name of this world is called Atheria (pronounced A-there-ee-uh). The country is called Galkarand (pronounced Gal-kuh-r-and).The world ios largely made up of the same water to landmass ratio as real life Earth is, that is, 71% water, 29% landmass. Galkarand is covered on all sides by neighboring countries, making it a lanlocked nation. With no navy to speak of, they've honed their land and air forces.

The setting is fantasy but has elements of futuristic/steampunk in it but is very minimal (guns/gunpowder and airships are included.)

The Lore

The three neighboring countries to Galkarand always seem to find themselves at war with each, however with Galkarand being a neutral country, it's always seemed to avoid being dragged in. That isn't to say the nation isn't beset by its own problems. The nation always seems to be in a power struggle with no King or Queen lasting more then 5 years on the throne. The setting happens to take place in one such scenario.

The King, murdered and the Prince nowhere to be found, the country of Galkarand finds itself in a power vacuum. Three powerful factions are now vying for the throne. The Nation of Galkarand finds itself on the verge of a civil war...

Meet the three major Factions

Galkarand Military Empire;
The military of Galkrand, formerly at the behest of the King, they now vie to see their Knight-Commander on the throne and restore order to the country. They stand for justice and order and effectively act as the police. They currently control all major Forts and the Capital but have little influence.

Church of the Holy Land;
The religious faction, under the leadership of the Archbishop, they believe in resolution through religious unification. They would see their Archbishop as the leader of the nation and change it into a Theocratic leadership. They currently control all Churches across the nation and have major influence in their respective cities and towns. They also have powerful Knights known as Holy Knights who fight for them.

Musashi Shogunate;
Confined mostly to the eastern cities and lands, they follow the Shogun and their teachings of honor before death and would attempt to see their Shogun to the throne and bring equality to all. Though they control very little of the country, they have powerful warriors and are technologically more advanced then the other factions.

Meet the Leaders

Galkarand Military Empire;
Knight-Commander Corvus Flameheart. A lance-wielding Knight of Galkarand. His legendary lance-wielding skills are second to none and have earned him the renown of being the best duelist in the nation, however, his magic wielding leaves much to be desired.

Church of the Holy Land;
Archbishop Laila Ignia. Her leadership of the Church may suggest she's against violence but rather it's quite the opposite. She's the one who trained the Holy Knights to use Holy magics. Her magic wielding ability is number one in the nation. Her magic more than makes up for her lack of melee combat experience.

Musashi Shogunate;
Miyo Musashi. Simply known as "The Shogun", Miyo's skills with a katana or really any type of sword are unparalleled. Miyo's ability to command legions of soldiers and airships make them the ultimate leader. What Miyo has in sword prowess and strategy, they lack in basically being able to even use magic.

This is just a rough outline of the possible story but if youre interested in developing it and talking about specifics, shoot me a PM!
