During the forgotten years of the land, magic was just a way of life. People used it for anything and everything, from fighting off wild animals to lighting a simple fire, and that’s just how it was, for a time. But humans are greedy creatures, and always will be. They had plenty of wood, but nothing was stopping them from getting more, and if people can, people will. They eradicated the entire forest, destroying the homes of thousands of innocent animals, and proceeded to waste it all on an all natural wooden shrine to their false gods.

But not all bad deeds go unpunished. In one last act of desperation, the many true deities of the forest gathered in the center of the dead stumps, and launched a wave of their combined magic across the entire planet. This power made all the humans forget magic entirely, the ultimate punishment and yet still not enough. After a complete drain of their power, the deities souls were forced to merge together into one, tiny sapling. Only time would tell if the humans would ignore the single tree for long enough...

Thus bringing us to modern day. Humanity has come quite far since then. They even remade their own magic, though they call it technology now. But the tree has grown to it’s full height. The spirits can come out, finally. But what do they see? Deforestation has increased immensely, terrorism is a part of the picture now, the singularity could happen any year now, humans have burned away the ozone layer and a few days from now people are running to a painful death because someone made a joke and they still believe in aliens.

The spirits are enraged. No matter how hard they try humanity will always do something worse than the last time. So they lift their sacred forest from the ground.... and slam it back down again. With the full wrath of the gods, an earthquake rips humanity apart in minutes, leaving nothing of the earth except dead barren deserts and one single, beautiful forest. Only then do the spirits realise what they have brought upon themselves.

With nowhere but the forest, it was impossible for them all to share. There was only room for one species.... they had truly been as foolish as the humans..... The humans? The humans! Through sheer logic, an infinitesimal fraction of humanity was still in the forest while the rest of the world was erased. While foolish, humans are the best fighters around.

The spirits summon humanity to the center of their tree (including you) and explain the situation. Any humans on the winning side get to live in peace in the forest. The spirits shall grant their blessings to any who side with them as well. Blessings are very powerful magic, but take much longer to recharge than other kinds. Still, it’s all that’s still open to humanity. Well? What side are you on? And can you even trust the gods to keep their side of the deal?




Oh boy that is a wall of text! I hope I got the point across anyway! Sorry if not, I’m rewriting this at 2am. 😅 I’m looking for people to play humans only, and with no access to magic except the blessings. You can still have technology, just don’t expect to be able to call your family. You may also add as many characters as you want, provided I approve them. Almost all PvP will be in dice rolls, but if ALL sides agree against that, they may fight how they wish. Despite what it may seem from this slab of words, shorter writing is preferred. I just like short, text-like messages so if two people get on at the same time they can easily get through tons of things while still communicating properly. After all, if you can’t communicate properly, nobody gets what they want.


Blessings
Blessings are rare, powerful spells, only obtainable when granted by a god. To trigger them, you must simply say “(the species of animal)’s blessing!” And voila, magic.

Dove’s blessing
Recharge: 1 day
Fully heal yourself or someone nearby of all wounds and ailments. slightly less effective on the brink of death.
Lion’s blessing
Recharge: 30 mins
Launch a powerful red energy beam the height of a truck, destroying anything in it’s path, but also physically exhausting the user.
Hound’s blessing
Recharge: 10 mins
Instantly know the location of anyone in a mile radius of you, while not revealing yourself at all.
Turtle’s blessing
Recharge: 4 hours
Form a thick dark green mist around you, making you completely impenetrable to all attacks, but also lowering your speed to a crawl, for 10 minutes.
Bat’s blessing
Recharge: 1 hour
Sprout leathery bat wings, giving you complete flight for 30 minutes. However, if hit with enough force, they will vanish.
Lizard’s blessing
Recharge: 25 mins
Turn completely invisible to anyone around you for 1 minute to 5 minutes depending on how long you wish it for.
Rogue’s blessing
Recharge: None
Per usual, some humans have decided against the spirits and formed their own team. How they unlocked magic is anybody’s guess. Open a two-way portal between you and a teammate, and close it at any time you choose.

I would like to do this on the fantasy rp forum instead of in PM. Anybody may, however, PM me to ask any questions, at any time. I can get a little forgetful, and I’ve almost certainly forgot something. As always... Love you all ⛄️
Magic 70%
Magic is fairly common. Players and NPCs important to the tale may have it. Mistborn.
Technology 50%
Modern
Combat 70%
More combat than not. The setting may be at war, and the characters will likely get involved whether or not they seek it out.

Details: Occasional dice use, concise post-length, long-term RP partner preferred.
