This RP is based on the novel that my friend is writing. She wrote all of the footnotes and seems to be a good writer. Do not fret, I asked her permissiobn before I made this RP and she said it was fine. Enjoy!

Backstory
In the twenty-second century, magic was discovered at the centre of the planet by two twins. They were worshipped as gods and often referred to as the Cosmos twins due to their powers over time and space. But their magic was questioned and their secret was discovered. The government decided – after numerous test – that magic should be shared among the people. They sent in six men and women down as a trial. Lucas Natural, Andrew Voltagen, Vivian Paradoxi, Francesca Agua, Deidre Shifter and Jerome Necromancer.  When they returned, they each had a special type of magic. It was decreed that magic should be shared amongst everyone to further the human race. But after a while, people started to notice these black creatures. One man, Dr Lawrence Viron, believed that these creatures should be studied, but over time, he named the creatures after himself and he became their leader. He learnt that Virons’ were created out of the negative, evil energy subtracted from the positive energy that went into all Magical Beings. Dr Lawrence believed that the Virons’ deserve better, so he led them into battle with the Magical Beings. The Viron’s lost but vowed to return. The Magical Beings decided to divide themselves into territories, each territory housing the different types of magic. Other than the odd territorial dispute, life on earth was peaceful. Until a large group of power hungry Magical Beings killed all the royals, blamed it on a magical disease and began calling themselves Elders. And this is where Nikola’s story begins.


St Lucas’ Academy
St Lucas’ Academy was where young Naturals aged 6-19 trained to use their magic safely. The Academy taught everything from combat to advanced science. People could train to become part of the Green or Gold Guard. Nikolai chose to study advanced combat, offensive magic, swordplay, Viron slaying and Core science. But not everyone can afford to go to St Lucas’ Academy; those people often become farmers or servants.


The Core
Before the twenty-second century, people believed that the core of the world was made of molten metal, but when the Cosmos twin discovered the truth on a scientific mission to harness the energy of the core, they became living deities. When they returned to the surface, they opened black holes and reduced brave warriors into crying infants. A small group of people resisting the power of the twins decided to take the same path they did. These people became the first royals and overthrew the Cosmos twins. They shared magic throughout every living human.  Not long after people started to become Magical Beings, black creatures started to appear out of the Core. They were made out of the negative energy that was separated from the positive energy that gives Magical Beings their power. The Core is made of pure power, both negative and positive. As long as a Viron still holds the negative energy corresponding to the positive energy in a Magical Being, that Magical Being cannot die, but when the Viron is slain, the negative energy returns to the Core and the Magical Being becomes mortal, yet still magic. After the Great War, the royals decided to create passages with the best Voltagen technology. They sealed the six passageways so that only a descendant of the royals could access the Core. But since the fall of the royal families, the Elders have been worrying about the upcoming ceremony where everyone goes into the Core to renew the magical lineage and to ensure that no humans will ever reign supreme again. Gold Guards protect the Core and are highly elite


Territories

The Naturals ~ named after St Lucas Natural. The Natural territory is mostly covered by forests and wooded areas with small villages made of stone and wood. The Naturals territory is often referred to as a peaceful place and is where a lot of lower class citizens from other territories make a new life. Green Guards protect the Natural territory and many young Magical Beings train to become a Green Guard.

The Voltagens ~ Andrew Voltagen was the best engineer of his time, so when he became magic, he went on to be the founder of the most scientifically advanced territory of them all. The Voltagens created the passageways leading down into the Core. The Voltagens have a nasty reputation of having appalling working conditions in their factories and will hire anyone who can learn how to use a machine. The Voltagen territory is home to the Yellow Guard, but hardly any people wish to be part of the Yellow Guard because everyone wishes to become an engineer or inventor like their founder.

The Shape Shifters ~ Deidre Shifter was always known for having a split personality, but her magic took that to a whole new level. The Shape Shifters are violent and animalistic, they live in small nomadic camps which hunt for any animal they can find. Their territory is entirely covered in nature. The Red Guards protect the Shape Shifters, but only alpha males become Red Guards.
The Paradoxi ~ Vivian Paradoxi was always a dreamer, she used to imagine parallel universes where the laws of our reality didn’t exist. Some people considered her insane, but using her powers, she showed the rest of the world the truth. The Paradoxi territory is often described as oriental, with Asian looking houses and beautifully decorated temples. The Purple Guards look after the Paradoxi territory, but only the man of the house can become a Purple Guard.

The Necromancers ~ Jerome Necromancer was a dark, dark man. He delighted in seeing death and destruction come to his enemies and claimed to be death itself. Necromancers use death magic to torture others and themselves. The Necromancer territory is covered in black temples and small black slums. Black Guards protect the Necromancers territory, but most people devout themselves to the Necromancer religion which worships death.

The Aguas ~ Francesca Agua was a leading marine biologist. She was fascinated with the underwater world. Obtaining her powers meant that she never had to leave the ocean. They were a peaceful fishing community with large underwater towns stretching throughout the whole territory. Unfortunately, the Agua territory sunk years ago. They were confirmed destroyed and the world went on without them. But they still live secretly in their underwater cities without any help from outside territories.

Perhaps you should choose a different name for this roleplay? Four Swords is the name of a LoZ game; could lead to confusion.

Ah. Okay. Do you have a suggestion?
