so, here we go.
PLAYERS: 3 (Status: at least 3 more)

Seal's Experimental RP (instance zero)
let me explain some things first.
character data is sent to me as a PM, no character posts to clutter this.
after people have sent their characters to me, it's time to process them correctly.
I've thought of making two instances of this, in separate threads -- and because of that I dont want them sent here. The characters are appended to the 'background' post of each instance, for quick reference.
how do i distribute the characters to either instance? well, its up to you. you are supposed to give me a preferred choice of faction. both instances should have about equal amount of players, so I might not give everyone the faction they prefer. sorry.
its the most experimental thing here. most, though, should be pretty traditional...

Background - common world
The land is a endless, hilly forest. Just trees and hills.. but not everywhere. Some creatures of the land have cleared some areas of the forest for their crops, villages.. or something other.
Even though there is countless more or less civilized species, the Kei and Mei have the most powerful realms. All the races have their own culture, and usually their own language, but luckily almost every village, regardless of the resident race, have a linguist helping the leader or council, who knows the most common languages, at least the common languages of Kei and Mei.
Some of the smaller races have supernatural powers (later referenced as 'magic'), but usually they do not show it, unless they really need it, to fend off invaders for example.
The Kei.. do not use magic, at all. Though, some of their adept priest(esse)s can bend the will of the weak-minded, and making them see hallucinations, for example.
Only the most powerful priest(esse)s can take complete control of someone's mind.
The Mei have generally a strong mind and will, but cannot use any psychic or magical powers on their own. They use special amulets to which they bind their will on, giving varying amount of magical power depending on the quality of the amulet (and the experience of the user).

Now, to the more in-depth backgrounds on the Mei and Kei. These will be added to the instances spawned later, for quick reference.
The Mei
The Mei are quite surely the closest thing to humans in this land. The largest general difference is their arms' power, which is much better than average human's. The looks are almost same, though.
Mei have their cities built on and inside the trees, and rarely build anything on the ground.
Mei sends their explorers all around the land, so they have made contact with most of the civilized species.
Their central government is council-based, but there is rumours of a single person controlling the council. Nobody has been able to clear it though.
The villages inside the Mei realm are usually leader-based.
The Mei live on the forest's bounty and trade, they do not have any crops or equivalent.
The Kei
The Kei.. are spiritual, 'elflike' people. Their appearance is thin, with long arms and legs, and deep blue skin.
Kei cities and villages are built on the ground and underground, bigger cities are sometimes partially above ground, but never above trees.
The Kei have spread their influence on only the closest neighbors, unlike the Mei who have explored most of the world. Though, the Kei are known amongst most of the races on the land.
Kei are led by a single leader, who leads the Kei until his/her death, and then a new leader is chosen amongst the people.
Kei have vast crops around the cities. They do not trade much, only the most wanted goods might get bought from the neighbouring races.

Characters
Characters.. now, guess what? you wont be playing a Keii or a Meii.
All players will be humans, to simplify this even a bit. And to make faction balancing possible.
But, to the thing:
Name: <guess what>
Gender: <male or female, nothing else>
Preferred weapon: <melee weapon. you wont be having these at beginning>
Preferred alt weapon: <ranged weapon. otherwise same as above>
Special: <strong mind - fragile body OR average mind - average body OR weak mind - durable body>
Appearance: <short description of looks>
Preferred faction: <Kei/Mei>
No bio, as the characters are experiencing amnesia, and do not remember anything about their past.
SEND THIS AS PM TO ME, please.
No characters posted here will be accepted, but if you accidentally posted it here, you can still PM it.
When the characters are collected, I'll distribute them to both instances and create the threads.
Also, the beginning of the story (how you got there) is posted on both threads, I'll not spoil them here.
Note: I might have forgotten something, but not sure.
PLAYERS: 3 (Status: at least 3 more)
