In a distant dimension, where a realm seems untouched by the rest of the universe, this particular world plays the setting of our interesting and seemingly endless journey.
Some years ago, this planet was mostly ruled by the beasts, who were aristocrats and nobles who dictated the world in a Aristocracy fashioned government for as long as history could reach back in time. These beasts had similar stature as to a human, but with animalistic characteristics. They treated humans like the underdogs of society, using them for dirty and hard jobs like cleaning the streets or to immaculate houses of the nobles. The beasts lived like kings among the humans.
But it wouldn't last for long...
The humans revolted, and after years of bloodshed and hate, that was really never meant to be, humans gained the upper hand. Some beasts still reside in this world, but not many. Some humans and beasts even ran off on trysts, claiming to be in love, ergo resulting in the birth of the half-beast. Most of these beasts possess qualities of humans, but share alterations with their animal-like ancestors and parents. Some are more animalistic.
Nowadays, beasts are looked down upon. They are the minorities of society; therefore, making it harder to find homes to lease or buy, getting jobs, and if they do, it's hard to maintain due to low incomes. Most beasts or half-beasts live on the streets or in shelters retained by humans who have pity for the beasts. Most of the land on this planet is unowned, which leaves some beasts and half-beasts with the advantage to build their own homes in the forests or plains, somewhat far away from human kind...
Technology/Miscellaneous
This world thrives on a primitive and yet advanced type of technology. Things like 'pods', which are wheel-less contraptions that hover about a foot off of the ground and ride similar to motorcycles, and advanced computers most definitely exist.
Swords are still used very frequently, as well as guns, different from the ones you know, and an interesting weapon called a 'legault', which is a hilt, most basically, with a wide blade all down the handle. The style of blade differs when it comes to its creator. It's hard to control unless you're taught especially.
A golden mineral found in most mountain ranges takes the place of steel and most other metals.
Jobs/Government
This world is run by a literal Democracy. A small group of elders decide on potentially great laws and let the people vote on it. The elders are chosen as well, again, voted on by the public. Beasts and half-beasts hardly get to vote, and the process to get to that point is long and difficult.
No one is at war with one another. Military doesn't exist. The world is basically one large pangea and it's ruled by one government type.
Typical jobs exist for the people to make life somewhat easier and, well, to get paid.
Mailing and filing mail, inn keeping, bar tending, entertaining, law enforcing, waiting and bussing tables at restaurants, pharmacies, doctoral offices, orthodontists... The list goes on, and if you understand the world around you, you can fill in the rest.

Style
The clothing styles in this realm are... different than what you're used to now. Odd articles of clothing are the staple of society. Shorts with pant-like leggings attached to the ends by straps, shirts with one sleeve missing, coats slit in half and bound together by cords... It's the norm.
Religion
The world might have changed, but the religion has not. General orthodox religion in this realm is a mystic religion. Three gods creating the world: one to create the earth itself, one to create the inhabitants, and one to create geographical features. They now watch over them as if to give out signs of good fortunes to follow.
The most sacred temple the mystics constructed was a crystal cave residing in the most remote and tallest mountain in all of the world they lived in. Now, the cave is referred to the "Cave of Crystal Death". The legend conveys the gods to have forged a rather powerful gem or emerald with their powers indwelling within. The emerald has the distinct power to create or destroy worlds. Many wicked souls want it to easily commit crimes or destroy for the fun of it. Others do want it for good or to make life more grand for everyone. The cave used to be guarded by large 7-9 feet tall rock golems who possessed the power of grand strength and vast knowledge; especially of the emerald. Now, they're rubble, piled all at the mouth of the cave because mystics couldn't keep their power focused on them entirely. It was a tedious task that the mystics felt they could not continue.
Several years ago, the gem disappeared...
What we're here for...
You can choose to be a human, beast, or half-beast. Your character becomes intertwined with this emerald and it becomes imperative that you destroy it before it becomes more of a burden, as it has reappeared.
There were two ways to destroy it; seek the elder mystic out for him to dispel the emerald's strong abilities, or return it to the crystal cave to have the structure dull the power and never let it be removed again. Now that the elder's dead, you have only one choice... "The Cave of Crystal Death"
Are you for or against the destruction of this powerful object?
Everyone will start out in Belth, near the center of the territory in a small town called, "Alwe". How you end up there is beyond me. :3

{Sound interesting to you? Good. I courteously ask you to follow these guidelines, though. It’s just to improve your enjoyment for this particular RP and for those reading or RPing in it as well.
~Use elaborate details and fine descriptions. Don’t just type one or two simple sentences, I want to know exactly what your character is doing, and if the occasion calls for it, why. Elaborate a bit and have fun with it.
~You don’t have to use completely perfect grammar, but decent grammar would be fantastic. I hate it when people put down things like “my character does this and says ‘hey what are you doing’ my character does this”. I will reach out of your computer and slap your face clean off. If this reminds you of your writing, you fail and should grow a brain.
~No god-modding. Take a few hits and put up a good fight. Your character’s not gonna win every time, so don’t turn the tables in a position you’re obviously not getting out of and claim to win. That’s bull and if it sounds like you, you fail, too.
~If you decide to put your own special little twist in the story and take up five or six pages to get back on track, I will personally come to your house and hit over in the temple! This is already going to be a long enough story and I don't want to have to take some BS little detour because you wanted the story to be about your character. No. Go make an RP about your character if you're gonna do that...
~No outrageous powers. If you have something like teleportation, and abuse it by avoiding everyone's attacks, I will throw you out of this RP so fast! Make your character realistic, not some unstoppable, invincible being...
If I run into anything else I want to pick at, I’ll post it, so keep on your toes. If I sounded a bit harsh, I’m sorry, but I want only the best Rpers to join because I’ve worked hard on the ‘Emerald Quest’ concept and storyline. Could you blame me?}
For your profiles, I would like this general outline to be portrayed:

{If you wish to add anything more to better narrate your character, please do add it.
I will add my character tomorrow, seeing as how the library is closed so I can't scan my character's picture... :<}
