The plot:

Somewhere between the galaxies there's a small world that revives our old conception of our mother Earth - it's not round, it's a flat piece of solid ground. It's called Caelum.



It has many places, but most of the civilization lives in the two cities.


Orientem, where most of the ground is under water, which is shallow enough so nobody could drown.







And Occidens, where we can see enormous trees, who have many homes. They're like buildings with flats. There are flooded grounds too, but are much lesser than Orientem's, and are deeper.







Long ago they didn't really exist. The whole world was covered in united civilization, until the habitats started fighting. Eventually they decided to split into these two cities. Nowadays, few remember the cause of the conflicts. Sadly, few think that the conflict must stop.
It is a law for everyone to start a duel once they meet somebody from the other city in the neutral zone. You may be banished from your birth city if you refuse a fight. You may get injured if you lose... or even if you win. How do you know if the person in front of you is one of the enemies? And how do you know if one of your alliances refuses a fight? Everyone can magically feel these things.
Everything gets harder and harder when there are people who just want peace, but can't do anything about it. It reaches the top of everything if one falls for someone from the other city, which isn't a rare case.

Once they used to fight for the other places besides their cities. However, they got tired of this. Besides, there are some people, who live in the neutral zone and would protest if their land is suddenly claimed. Do you want to know more about the neutral zone? Yes? Then I'll tell you. No? Then skip, although it's kind of an important part of the story.


The Portal - First you think of a place and then step into it. There's 90% guarantee that you'll teleport on the place you were thinking of, as long as it's in Caelum




The Bloody Desert - The red sand isn't the only reason for it's name.



The forests - they are many, different and enormous. Usually banished people, or species connected to nature live there.






Flaming Aurora - Everybody loves this place.




Feel free to add more ideas about the neutral zone.

Education is very important for everyone, so each main city has its own academy, which is includes students at the ages of 4-23. Even if you're banished, you continue going to your school, but your reputation will hit the bottom and make a hole in it.


The Orientem Academy




The Occidens Academy




The characters

Almost limitless choises. You can put in whatever species you want - humans, witches, elves, vampires, werewolves, orcs, trolls, something made up by you, or even mixes! But don't make a mix of more than two species.

Originally, this story didn't have slots, but now I'll put the needed ones.

Habitats from Occidens: (1 needed)
-


Habitats from Orientem: (2 needed)

And no, none of them is banished into the neutral zone.

I've never rejected characters before and I don't think I'll start any time soon. If there's something wrong with the application, I'll just tell you to change it and then will accept your character. :)


Rules:

- No perfect and overpowered characters.
- If you can't catch up, don't be shy and ask for a slow down in the OOC
- It says it on the character sheet, but I'll put it in the rules too - we have enough characters from the neutral zone, so they should be either from Orientem, or from Occidens.
- Visit the OOC
- Be committed! Post often enough to get this story somewhere, or even... get it done!
- Be creative! For example, your character may find a way to break rules. (Not these, the ones in Caelum)
- Don't separate from the others, make your character contact with the others as much and as soon as possible!
- Feel free to ask questions and give ideas.
- Quality over quantity. Don't write novels, write something interesting and important, even if it takes one line!
- Don't overuse the one liners.
- I won't kill you if you make mistakes, but make it literal enough so everyone can understand and enjoy your creation.
- Don't overuse the swearing. If your character HAS to swear, there are stars. ***
- Write in third person and past tense.
- Don't post more than 3 characters.
- Don't abandon your character at the first sign of inactivity.
- Don't abandon your character in the middle of an important interaction.
- Don't abandon your character... at all.
- When the amount of characters reaches 15, I'll no longer accept, except if we've reached 15, you didn't know that and rushed to spend a huge amount of time making the 16th one.

So... have fun! :)
