It was a boon given from the gods passed on to us from our ancestors. Runes, the power inside these precious stones can only be described as magic. Over generations humanity learned to use Runes in worthwhile and productive ways. Compared to the cavemen biting and chucking glowing stones at each other that is...
Runes have multiple forms and uses, but ultimately Humans use Runes for combat. To survive against monsters you need to fight like a monster... Runes became the tools used to climb the food chain and secure safety
Fire starters, Sky Flashes, Instant rain, Mana sparks...
(Fire spells, electricity spells, water spells, magic weapons,)
((Red runes, yellow runes, blue runes, transparent etc))
Humans learnt how to use magic over time, in the present days of Ayore runes are common knowledge.
However common knowledge is a trivial way to put it...
If a person can manage to fix dinner without burning themselves would they be called a Chef?
If someone makes a shelter are they a carpenter?
If a boy swings his father's sword in the yard is he considered a swordsman?
No.
That is to say, someone can find and use Runes... But that does not mean they are worthy of the title Rune-Master. A master of runes understands far more then a soldier throwing a red stone Whilst shouting "Fire!"
Though throughout Ayore most consider Runes as magic rocks to throw at whatever you want dead.
The Slate alliance is different. It is only because of practice and knowledge with Runes that the Alliance could stand against such overwhelming odds. The Welt empire marched across Ayore, built on the backs of slaves and cruel efficiency the Welt army reaches all corners of the known world.
It was the southern tribes of Slate who banded together in effort to combat the growing evil.
Rune-Masters all over Slate held a meeting, it was determined Slate would need to be stronger.
Rituals were held to infuse new born babies with magic. Runeborn is what the six survivors would be called. With inherent power welling up inside them, the Runeborn lived somewhat normal lives until the age of eight. That is when training began, they were escorted to the city of Dunwel. To be trained in the arts of runes and combat for the hope and future of Slate.
===========================
Medieval fantasy, casual/detailed is the style I'm after.
Two paragraphs is the minimum I want for each post and twenty seven being the max amount.
Rp is suited for ten players but will start with six as only six characters will be "Runeborn"
The plot follows the Runeborn (and friends) after their training being sent to the front lines of a approaching war. Welt has taken over 75% of Ayore and Slate is to small a country to match them with fighting strength and resources. Instead they have placed their bets on a squad of living weapons to fight protect and liberate as needed.
Magic Guerilla warfare, negotiations and trade deals, posturing and more!

Thanks for getting this far, the CS below is the bare minimum I'd like you to fill out but feel free to add whatever you feel is needed. Everyone's character was born or has lived in the land called Slate. The major City is called Dunwel but your right to make up/name villages or towns. If you...

Our story begins in the capital of Slate, a walled city named Dunwel. Home to peasants, nobles, soldiers, thieves and Rune-Masters. But the prideful rumours and hushed secrets speak of others living in the capital... Runeborn. Legends of the runeborn have been spread and exaggerated across Slate...
