Abhorrent (Marks of Aioni) RP Signups

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

It seems that Roleplay season has started………

 

 

so I decided to throw my name in the lot

This is going to be based off of my practice writing, which I’m okay sharing cuz it isn’t the most original in the first place.

Without further ado!

It takes place in modern society, with one exception. Most governments don’t exist. Never have.

In their place is a fluid caste system based on ancestral merit. If your ancestor did anything noteworthy in the past, you are part of the Indelible, a high class, extreme welfare based nobility. Otherwise, you are part of the rest, who lead normal lives.

And ruling them is the organization known as the Burdened—elite, highly trained policymakers, who control Conjurations and Abhorrence. One man is in control of them, an immortal being named Damocles.

elaboration (optional Worldbuilding):

Spoiler

They, and the Indelible, live by the philosophy of the Aioni (heavily inspired by Roman Stoicism), which values permanence above all else. They view stone as the body of Aioni, and believe that if anything achieves permanence, it is the will of Aioni. They then believe that only forces commanded by Aioni—what they call nature—can achieve permanence.
 

This is separate from literal nature. Aionists denounce the qualities of flora and fauna, resenting the temporary change they effect before rotting away. No individual unit of life is permanent, they reason.

Next, they believe that only Humanity, as a unit of life, can straddle the line to Aioni. Their written and oral history allows them to achieve permanence in society, but they also believe that only a large amount of humans can make significant change within the Aioni. Therefore, they strongly believe in unity.

Finally, they really really like tradition.

Lastly (this is the end of the Worldbuilding, I swear)

A disaster has recently rocked the world! An unexplainable eruption of energy in the center of the high end cities, killing many, many Indelible and leading the Burdened to select more of the lower caste for their positions.

 

Yall have received summons from the Burdened. You do not know what for.

 

Make a character! You can be Indelible or not (but not Burdened), and you can be most ages within reason. (Upper teen to upper middle age). You must have a unique, valuable skill.

(below is a character sheet, but those are really just the things I need. Ya don’t have to put it in that format.)

[GG0z He/Him]

Name: Thaevius  Regalis

Age: 19

Skill: Deception and Thievery

Summary: For reasons yet unexplained, has one arm made completely of stone, yet functions normally. That makes Thaevius part of the Indelible, and(hopefully) highly ranked. Has an irrational fear of the water, as he had almost drowned on multiple occasions, which he still has nightmares about

Sure, why not… I just edited the summary a bit, @Through the Living Shadow

Oh… is there a magic part? Well, I guess the stone arm is a bit weird, but I wanted the character to be a bit special, so there it is…

Disclaimer: this is my first time RPing, so i have no idea what I am doing

No it’s good

Full blown magic comes later

I don’t think you fully explained the magic in the first post… could you try to explain it?

I don’t

it is mysterious, and will take some time to show up in full in the RP

If you’re in the right circles, you know that the Burdened command the Abhorrent Subjects in order to use Conjuration. 

You also know that they have mythical powers.

The disaster is rumored to be action of the Burdened.

Is that a question, or an answer?

Not being Indelible doesn’t mean you ain’t doing well, it just means you aren’t getting the government welfare that they do.
