Tales of Old
The noises of the town buzz around you, people milling around. It was still the crack of dawn, sunlight barely pouring in through the frosted windows. Snow paved the streets as you looked down on the town, lights were still on in houses. The workers almost always woke up at this time. Outside of your room, the servants bustled around the corners, also starting work.

You were the child of one of the eight elite magic families in Astaria. The tales of the deeds your family had done travelled around the whole country, even past your borders. The fights between you and your siblings were constant, as your parents had yet to decide who would be the next to inherit the title of Ruler.

A maid knocked on your door. You saw her dip her head, "Your father is calling for you in the throne room" she ducked her head and backed out of the room before you could do anything. This could be the final moment.

Can I join?
I am trying a new system. Everyone gets two characters and can find objects by themselves instead of me controlling everything. I am putting a certain level of trust within the other person and I hope no one disappoints me by being a mary-sue op.
Believe you should have an invite/ want to join? Send me a mail and if any spaces are open we can sort something out!

Rules

1. You must have two characters.
2. Don't be a mary sue and destroy my trust.. you can do this:
Narrator: You enter a field, hundreds of colourful plants were scattered a round, a few already picked
Roleplayer: They found a blue plant with purple swirls and recognised it as a basic soothing herb with their level 3 herbalism skill and decided to keep it, deciding it may be useful for later

But please don't do this:
Narrator: You enter a field, hundreds of colourful plants were scattered a round, a few already picked
Roleplayer: They found a blue plant with purple swirls and ate it, giving them magical flying super strengths so they could blow up all their enemies :D
3. Fights will be judged by me. Go all out of your moves but final say will be mine. You can't dodge an extremely good attack.
4. You will meet allies along the way, so lets not all be attacks, hmm?
5. Only two characters may be assigned to each country.
6. Must have a minimum of one sibling. if you have more, they will be roleplayed by me~
7. This is invite only. Must be detailed about power limitations.
8. Must be over the age of 15 or 15 but not over 25.
9. Bold/ quote & ping everytime unless you want to feel my Wraith
10. You can die c:
11. Don't chase something if you're asleep or chained or something tbh. You can't move.
12. Narrators word is final >:(
13. Stick to the idea of your village. A peaceful village won't have a member of royalty that acts like a baboon which wants to eliminate everyone.
14. Images only please, no descriptions ;3;
15. More rules will be added when i find necessary.
16. Just because you're invited, doesn't mean i can't deny you or kick you later on.
17. So many rules..
18. Don't control narrators or others characters that aren't your own. Thank you. Allies I guess may be fine.. as long as you stay within their personality/ skill levels.
19. lets not do the impossible, please c: Also no very childish characters. I'm bored of extreme immaturity.
20. Swearing itself is not allowed, but words like "dang/ screw it" are allowed.
21. Repeats of magical powers are banned, so no two fires. i'll tell you if you need to change them in any way or just change them. If you give me the name of the magic like "electricity" I will then make the details for it under powers.
22. Include fears, likes & dislikes in your form.
23. Type = Support, Defensive, Attack or Healing
