  Nobody quite knows when magic first emerged, nor do they really care. For centuries, it was the responsibility of the previous generation to teach the newer generation the ways of magic, which led to the founding of Magical Academies all around the world. For hundreds of years, the world prospered under the tutelage of these academies, which often bore the future leaders of the world. That is, until the day demonic magic was discovered. The siren song of this evil magic corrupted a huge percent of magic users around the world, leading to the 100 year brutal war against the demon corrupted army. Nobody was prepared for the brutality of this magic, many lives were lost and much was sacrificed to defeat and seal the demonic song.
  
  150 years have passed since the end of the war, but many of the scars still remain. There are still many corrupted lands across the world filled with demonic beasts and evil spirits. Even the occasional fanatic pops up and threatens to unleash the ancient song, but none have ever come close. The harsh lessons learned from the war showed everyone that they had been living in blissful ignorance, naively assuming that no evil would ever come from magic. These lessons changed a handful of the Magical Academies into Magical Defense Acadamies, teaching newer generations how to fight and defend against another uprising through team work.
  
  In the year 2035, technology has finally caught up with the effectiveness of magic. These recent breakthroughs have given those that are not magically inclined the ability to keep up with those that are, leading to non-magical beings given permission to join Magical Defense Academies for the first time since the founding of the acadamies. With reported incidents of brutality around the world and the rumblings of the resurgence of the cursed song, the world can only hope the newest generation is ready.
  
  
  The story begins the day before the start of a new school year at Olivera Academy in the city of Tres Angeles. Students are coming from all over the world to either start their first year, or continue as a returning student, along side technologically based students. The plot will follow these students as they get stronger, make friends, make enemies, and eventually create partnerships and teams to fight the coming threat.

  I'm hoping this will become a detailed RP where we can grow together and find complementing partners to team up with. With that being said, there will be a minimum post of about 2-3 paragraphs to give everyone a chance to have something to play off of. There will be opportunities to play on both sides of the fence, possibly even introducing an evil faction within the school. who knows! I will try and moderate the pace and direction of the story through events and missions, but you will all have a pretty good amount of freedom to shape the world and plot.
  
  Thank you for reading my little idea. If there's interest, I will create a lore and character page to expand on the idea. Feel free to comment on any ideas, ask questions, or just express interest. I look forward to hearing from you all!

Awesome, i'm glad there's some interest. I'll start working on the additional pages. Feel free to ask any questions!

 

[Intellectual Sword]

Is there any functional difference between technology and magic? Clarke's third law right? At this stage, technology is only emulating magic or is there more to it? And I can understand how magic research could be stifled considering the fear of "demonic" magic, but has there been any fruitful progress on it?

Before the demonic war, magic was more cultural in nature. It was something that was passed down from generation to generation that was meant to be improved on and passed along. It was more altruistic in the sense that people used their magic to build up society. That's why the demonic magic caused so much destruction. A lot of academies ended up closing because of the sheer number of people that were corrupted, and with more and more academies being covered to defense academies, cultural growth and the altruistic side of magic end up getting stifled. The fear that grew from the war ushered in a new growth of militarized magic. So as time passed by, the type of magic that was passed down was less cultural and more tactical in nature.

So the growth of technology grew exponentially as a result of the general change in the purpose of magic. People relied less on magic assistance and built the tools they needed to do the things they needed to do.

So as far as differences between technology and magic... I don't want to say that they're interchangeable, but there's probably gonna be a bit of overlapping in what certain characters can do. What will be the difference are the applications and limitations of each. it'll end up boiling down to science vs magic, where the players who come into conflict will have to work out who is stronger through the context of their actions. I'm gonna try to regulate what people will be able to do by breaking abilities and technology into different categories like defender, attacker, controller, healer, and such. haha i hope that answers your question.

Brilliant - I am so tired of these fantasy RP's that require little more than "she nodded in agreement while drinking her juice box" replies. If this will be a more fleshed out kind of deal, please keep me in the tag list. This seems very promising and I am craving at least semi-complex and competent RP interaction. I am already thinking about potential characters. NyanNyanYummy

 

[Amnoir]

Sounds incredibly interesting. Count me in.

I think your problem was trying to find a fantasy RP in a modern/realistic RP.

And sure, in a sense. Though I'm not sure exactly on how application would be different, limitation is plenty enough to differentiate them.

Perhaps... I had one recently - a supervillain thing where the defining characteristic of one of the characters was that she drank vodka, and only spoke to anyone who drank with her - and then only in cryptic minimal word phrases hastily as lazily translated into Russian... Now, this might have been salvaged with a coherent narrative built around the character - well-defined actions and reactions portrayed through a few sentences around the Russian... but no. IT was just "Bottom's Up!" - In 'Russian' - and perhaps a note on how she was opening another bottle. In a word... maddening.

 

[SheepKing]

I'd be interested in joining! NyanNyanYummy

 

[NyanNyanYummy]

Awesome! I'm working on a skeleton lore sheet to give you guys an idea of the parameters of the RP. Then I'll cook up a character sheet and we can get started

 

[NyanNyanYummy]

I've created a basic lore page (still adding more info) and an OOC page. I'll add these links to the first post of this page to find them easily

Lore page: Olivera Magical Defense Academy Lore

OOC: Olivera Magical Defense Academy OOC

I AM MAKING AN OC RN WITH WHAT I HAVE RN!! is there a Toronto or something like Toronto in this plot? I AM SO EXCITED~!

 

[NyanNyanYummy]

Foolish I'm still working out the environment details, but there most likely won't be an actual Toronto. You can create a Toronto-ish town for your backstory if you'd like though.

I created Magsaysay aka Silay, its a country in Philippines (I come from there BTW) but I hope Philippines is still there XDDD

 

[Foolish]

[Intellectual Sword]

I think what Nyan was trying to clarify is that this does not take place on Earth, there is no Philippines or Toronto. It's a world of its own with grand, mythical lands and people.

 

[Foolish]

See, this is why I made my name foolish , rip.
