Find this RP here and join!
 The gist is simple. There is an old family full of powerful and great people. They are renowned for their many and varied abilities; they boast the most valiant warriors, the most mighty mages, and the most impressive professors and engineers. The history of the family is long, as long as recorded time, and the elders have passed down the wisdom of the ancients. They have long been steady, but discord has brewed unchecked for the past fifty years. The people with the white hair, with their history so great, have now fallen into disarray and ultimately decay.
It began with brothers, the sons of a man named Hadad. Twin boys, dual heirs, born to be the future leaders of the family. But there was a problem. No one knew which child should take his father's place with absolute certainty. The issue was decided when the twins turned nineteen and the slightly elder boy, then a young man, slumped dead during the festivities of their birthday celebration. Whispers grew that the other twin had murdered his brother, but the snow haired boy quelled the rumors with a fist of iron and the swift removal of his adversaries. This man grew to power in the family and took Hadad's place when the time was right.
But he was not a good leader. He destroyed the solid foundations on which the family had been built along with the rest of his lost, misguided generation, their power hungry souls driving to them to a new profession. Under his guidance, the family became a band of ruthless mercenaries and cutthroats. They have formed a crime syndicate and are now quite literally on the run from almost every government their world knows, except those shady enough to hire their services. There is danger around every corner for these people now, this family who was once so great. They've fallen so far in a handful of decades, but there are those who push for a restoration.
But for all the celebrity of the white haired family, more than half of its members have hair the color of blackest night. These are the persons who have suffered the most in the family's decline, their position as lower classed members of the family dropping to a slave-like oppression. They are expendable mercenaries in the armies, sent on missions of suicide. They are workers in the undercroft, made to toil for their kinsmen. They are angry and they are ready to retaliate.
A small scale civil war is coming to a head; brother pitted against brother.
- - - - - - -
- I see this RP set in a world that is a feudal pseudo-Japan, but that's changeable. I just liked the idea of far eastern elements in the RP.
- There's kind of a strict no romance rule. The RP is solely based upon a family and though it is a generally large family, closer to a clan, it uh... wouldn't do for romances within the fam, if you catch my drift.
- I'll add more notes here as I think of them, but please contribute ideas and junk here! :D

Fantastic (: Do either of you have any input to the direction of the RP, or ideas for subplots, or the main plot? I know the OP of this thread sounds like I have some great master plan, but that's really only back story so the family is understood. After that, there's really nothing. It's just skeletons. Hadad's son doesn't even have a name.

I know we had been talking about ideas. As for the son's name, I don't know.

Yeah, I know, Misa, but I really wanted to move some more discussion out in the open, maybe hear some ideas for LDM if she'd like to help contribute :)
I'm a third of the way through creating my main for this RP and when it's finished, I'll post it in my Barracks if either of you would like to look at it.

Righto, LDM. We've already figured that out for the most part, I guess, and I agree a 'see where it goes' attitude could really work for this RP. Here is Nebi's profile, Misa, if you wanted to look at it. LDM's already seen it, basically. It's not quite fini yet because I'm waiting until LDM gives me some info on her character who is to be Nebi's older brother before I write her history. _________________

I don't have a character thread, so I'll post it here.
Name: Dant
Gender: male
Skills: hand fighting, blade fighting, scribing
Affiliation: Upper Family
Age: 20
Appearance: white hair, gray eyes, tall and lanky, fine-boned
History: For most of his life, he trained hard as a soldier/military agent type for the family. A few years ago he grew tired of the disgrace and family strife, so he went underground to become a scribe. Zimran dug him up shortly before this rpg begins.
Family: Nebi. He refuses to acknowledge the rest.

^Yaaaaay! And I dunno, I haven't rped around here in a while. The rpg section is dead...a few years back an rpg like this would have picked up members fast. Once they see how awesome it is, though, EVERYONE WILL WANT TO JOIN. HAH.

Starting post = made :D
Enjoy it (: Also, I'm making a bio for Nyx, Nebi and Dant's father, to post in the Barracks. I just have this nagging feeling he's going to be an instrumental character later on and I decided to give him a face/personality. :D
