Creation, RP focus
The game will start at the Imperial Military Academy. You character may be from any region. The region the game will take place on is a continent called Eldoria. Other contients exist and have their own cultures and people, feel free to insert your own should you wish, within reason.
The character can be of any age above the schools admittance age of 16. They can be a student, teacher, visitor, whatever you wish. The only thing that must be decided is that the character had reason to be at the school at a particular time.
Characters do not need to know each other prior, but students would likely know teachers, each other, and vise versa. ( especially particularly talented )
Your character can come from any of the major 5 families or your own. Characters of any linage may be treated differently depending on who they speak with. A pureblood may look down upon a mixed-blood, where as two pure bloods may look down on each other if from different families.
The school resides within Ironhold, currently under Drogon's control. However a treaty was formed to keep education open to all, as many cities and territories had exceptional schools. The treaty has led to many issues within the school itself, including outside families being treated exceptionally poorly. The school used to teach tactics and train students to be fit for commanding armies and patrols. With conflict of interests in times of war, they have since shifted to a more boots on the ground combat curriculum.
The character may be of just about any race, however Eldoria is predominately "humanoid". Please no: Immortal, PuPu, Tonkin, Shindroid, Palico, Mandragora. Beastman tribe races can be case by case.
Most classes will be allowed*. Run is by me when you find one you like, even the meme classes seem to be okay.
Your character will be aware of most modern events, Events on the "Timeline" will be known to all who have lived in Eldoria, attended school in Eldoria, or are history buffs. Foreigners may be unfamiliar.
Setting will be low technology, so don't expect highly advanced airships, or hundreds of magitek armors roaming around. However, Magitek will exist but be very rare. Guns are present, uncommon. Magic is common place and the majority of those who want to can cast magic on their own with by channeling with materia. Some are unable to cast all together ( Dogon pureblooded, see: Garlean )
