Specifics for Characters (Please Read before doing anything abnormal)

Characters can come from the Magical World (Mundus Magicus) or the Old World (Earth). This doesn't have any bearing on what your character is capable of or anything specific about them. Instead, this adds a sense of variety when it comes to constructing your character's history and personality. As different countries have different mannerisms and accents in our "real life" world, so do denizens of the Magical World or the Old World. Note, if you belong to any race other than human, you must originate at one point in time in the Magical World as these races are not commonly found in the Old World unless they migrate.

Humans come in two varieties. What you choose in this regard will be the "pool" that you have to choose from in the future. To switch from one set to another will require you to get an admin's permission. You have Mages; aka Magic Users, and Qi Users; who are advanced martial artists. You cannot use both Mana and Qi, hence why there are separate classes of human to begin with.

Other races exist as well. These races include Demi-humans, Magical Creatures, Various 'folks, and others.

Demi-humans are humanoid in nature, but possess some animalistic traits. These traits most commonly include some "inhuman" parts like ears, horns, and tails. Demi-humans possess no more power than an ordinary human and their augmentations simply change their own lives.

Magical Creatures are beings such as Werewolves, Vampires, etc. Most often, anyone of this sub-type will have been a human at one time; these beings are not always considered 100% human. As such these races are extremely powerful and must be requested, this can be through the Request Hub or by pm to an admin. This is an attempt to limit the number of powerful characters who possess a racial ability that makes them uber.

Folks is a term that loosely covers all forms of beings that fit a certain category. There are three known folks including Spiritfolk, Dragonfolk, and Demonfolk. As there are other creatures known as Spirits, Dragons, and Demons, the folk is added to indicate that these beings are similar to humans. These are highly powerful races that must be requested to be a part of similar to magical creatures. When requesting to become a folk you must not only specific which folks, but be very specific on what kind of subcategory your character falls into within that folk. We will not accept "Demonfolk" as an appropriate answer when you could want to be a "Succubus or a Greater Fire Demon"

-Spiritfolk are beings who are humanoid in appearance, but actually have a spiritual "true" form. These forms differ depending on whatever spirit they are, but commonly they are made up entirely of that substance. This gives them a heightened affinity with that substance, but limits their use of all other substances.

-Dragonfolk are dragons who are capable of falling into a human form. These beings highly powerful and brimming with magical energy. In human form they possess qualities similar to a human excluding heightened physical attributes. Their true forms are dragons, they can differ based on what kind of dragon. Dragonfolk often require their human form to survive so transforming into true dragons is very hard on them.

-Demonfolk are humanoid beings that either have a demonic true form or have demonic features. Demons are not necessarily evil. Demons are rare, though, since the demon world is sealed off from Old World and Mundus Magicus; but every now and then a non-destructive demon slips through. These demons are generally scorned for being of a race which was created to kill and destroy all things magic, but the one's who have been evaluated as "safe" are given full privileges and allowed to remain in whatever world they choose. The stigma towards demons stems largely from a war fought a little over one hundred years ago. Demons can be very powerful, and display a multitude of unique abilities.
