A large world; boundried only by fear.

~~SETTING~~

The land is always dark. The sun died years ago; only the planet’s own heat keeps it alive. Many things thrive on this world--from monsters to humans, large indescribable insects to soft fluffy bunnies.

The more civilized beings live in huge cities that are nearly crumbling apart themselves at the edges. Most humans, and a few good-natured demons, elves, and other creatures, live in the main areas of the cities, which are covered in a light dome. This is an imitation of the sun, but it stays on constantly.

Goodie goodies, you could say, live there. Most of them fear the dark; fear the monsters that live in them. Many still are courageous enough to venture into the dark parts of town, and some even beyond the town walls.
Around the cities are ruins, overgrown by forests or turning into sands and deserts. People still live out there sometimes, mostly in the deserts. Steam trains that connect cities and are used as the only way to transport goods and people from one city to the other pass through, this gives the perfect opportunity for pirates to loot the trains.

The biggest city of all, and where this RP will mostly take place, is called Illuminati. The closest nearby city is called Phantasma. A river crosses through Illuminati, being the main water supply.

It does rain often in the City, but the Light dome protects that part of the city from the rains, it just collects it for various uses.

The Cities are surrounded by walls that keep the outside and all its dangers out. These walls are not impossible to mount--but you must know how to do it specifically or have the right tools. They are much too smooth and tall for even some of the best climbers. The best way over them is to use trees or growth that are taller then the wall itself. Only Illuminati has this advantage. But for most, the Forest is too menacing to want to try and use its trees to get into the city.

The only other way in or out of Cities is by use of the Steam Train entry and leaving point. It can be challenging to get in unless you're on the train since it is constantly guarded. These guards are much tougher than the Guards usually used to protect the Light Dome. Creatures outside the wall are less caring and much stronger. So the guards must be too. They are much more dumb then the City guards though, so for Pirates, who know the secret ways into the Train-boarding area of the city, it is much easier for them.

~~Character Choices~~

Those That Live In The Light Dome
These people are generally humans but there are also good-natured elves, demons, and other like creatures. Guards constantly watch the entrance points between the Light Dome and outter city to stop any creatures of evil or malicious intent from entering the city. Those that live in the Light Dome are free to move between the two parts of the city freely so long as they are 15 or older. Otherwise they require special, circumstancial permission or adult guidance.

Those That Live In The Dark Part Of The City
These creatures are mostly demons, bad elves, evil beings, and other like things. Very, very frew humans actually live outside the light dome. Despite the reputation that all out-domers are evil, there are still a part that are good and live outside the dome for their own reasons. Some despise the constant light that can only be blocked out from being inside a room or building being set on 'night', while others like the excitement of it. They all have their specific reasons and most of them are cleared to move freely from the Light Dome to the outter city as they like. The more evil creatures are constantly being watched for by the gaurds of the Light Dome.

Those That Are Pirates
The Pirates live in the dessert or on its edges. They move freely between the cities and are constantly stealing from and raiding the Steam Trains that connect them. Steam Trains are very hard to protect in the open desert, its only defense is its speed, so unless the dessert pirates have fast vehicles or are already on the train it is very difficult to raid. The Pirates are a mix of outlawed humans and mischievous and cunning creatures.

Those That Live In The Forest(No more then 5 for now)
There are very few who live in the forest. The forest is very dangerous. It is full of hazardous creatures and poisoness plants. In some areas even the air is too full of poisoness pollens to survive in unless immune to it. Those few that live in the forests know its ways well. They are often joked of being 'crazy hermets' among the city peoples and usually not even believed to exist. They are usually very cunning and know how to move freely around the world without being caught if they don't want to. Many of times they will wander into cities for their own needs and vanish like they were never there. Their ways are mysterious to all but themselves.

Those that Wander (No more then 10 for now)
These peoples do not live or belong in any specific place. They wander around as they please and visit wherever they can. Since these peoples are not officially registered with any towns they have to know how to get past the walls of the Cities. Unless they visit the cities often, they don't follow the same ways to getting into the cities as the Pirates. These peoples usually have special tools that will help them scale the walls.

~~Common Questions and Answers~~

Here is a list of common questions I have been asked about this world. If you do not find your answers here, please check the Q and A's Thread and if it is not there either, post the question yourself.

o1. What is being used for currency?
-Posted by akn

A: Gold, Silver, and Copper pieces.


o2. How advanced is the technology?
(Related to the question on if there can by cyborgs, asked by eisama, whether or not this world has guns, asked by hatandsandals, and if this world uses cell phones, asked by silentdreams. )

A: This world is both advanced and primitive. The Light Domes are far more advanced, so it does have cell phones, TVs, guns, and the ability to make mechanical limbs and such, but some of these things are still primitive. For example:
-Guns: Because of the heavy use of magical and other powers, weapons like guns are very primitive. They do exist, but aren't used much in the Light Domes. People like Pirates, who use the remains of older technology, use them far more than anyone in the cities.
-TVs: There are TVs in both the Dark Cities (though who knows if they work besides a channel or two) and in the Light Domes. The Light Domes' TVs are far more advanced, and probably more like floating screens now. Because most of the planet's brilliant minds live inside the Light Domes, things like these are far more advanced.
-Cars: Yes, there are vehicles in this world, but in the Light Domes, since it is more crowded and closer together, there isn't much of a need for them. There may be vehicles for certain authorities, like ambulances and such, but mostly there are none.
Pirates, like with guns, would also have cars. Though they would probably only be used for when having to cross long distances or when attacking a Steam Train. Fuel is hard to get by since it is not often needed, so naturally they wouldn't be using them to go visit their neighbor at the next sand dune.
