Nibankari (Posting ready, SIGN-UPS CLOSED FOR NOW)

[X_Hero]

Why did it have to happen to us? We may be fine now, but... There are those of us who want things to go back to the way everything was before...

Our dear planet, Aritsu...

After the meteors struck, mass panic erupted. The meteors came in at such an angle, they sent pieces of the planet's crust into the atmosphere. Those who were on the newly formed floating islands were the lucky ones. Those who had survived on the planet itself were all killed by vicious beasts of many different forms, which we have now come to know as the Me-kashikyo, which means "Death maker". The islands became nestled into the safety of the sky, where we still are. Over the next three years, the only thing keeping the islands motivated was the fact that we were not the last. Each of the surviving islands helped one another recover.

But through differences, five groups formed. Through designs in books that weren't incinerated by the flames of the meteors, were used by one group to advance their lives and build devices and machines of past and future. The largest of the islands came under control of those who survived the capitol of the planet's strongest country, and became home to another group of millions of survivors. Another group took up the refuge of abandoning all technology and relying on the new found power of the magics, using spells to help them in this new world. Primitive, yes, but very powerful they are. One group had gone back to ways that haven't been seen for centuries, using swords and old-fashioned pistols. Many young ones from this group are quite the day-dreamers, hoping for a way to bring about peace once more. And finally, this group, who shall keep the records of these new lands, shall not fight, but try to bring peace among the others through knowledge of our glorious past.

Whether you be a traveler, or too daydream of better days, you have a part in this world. So the only question is who will you be to our world?

Ready for you to post. :)

Groups:

The Daichi - the group occupying the largest of the landmasses, they live in a city built for them by the Norobu. They are thankful to the Norobu, and sometimes serve in the Norobu army. Their clothing is usually tattered, and they have the same jobs as the Norobu group.

The Atsushi - a group who is still producing advanced mechanical weaponry, they are also advanced in every aspect of their lives. Since the least amount of problems have occurred to them, they are stuck up and a bit snobby. They wear clothing with new fabrics and futuristic design, and use advanced weaponry. Usually, jobs include gunslingers, scientists or a position in the Atsushi army.

The Kenshin - a group that abandoned technology for the old ways, including weaponry such as swords and 15th to 16th century-styled guns. Many of the people of this group have at least one dream, and they never give up. Their clothing is usually made of clothing that have been newly made from home-made fabrics, with designs that reflect the period of their weapons. Jobs include swordsmen, many types of smiths, or a position in the Kenshin army.

The Yoshinori - the most populated group, made of survivors from two of the world's former largest cities, who decided in not resorting to violence. They are wise and peaceful, wearing the robes of scholars. They use magic, but never for reasons of attack. The jobs of this group are usually scholars or mages.

The Norobu - The group on the smallest, yet most powerful of the islands, survivors of the capitol of the strongest country of the planet. Since the Atsushi had begun to attack them for control of the planet, they have become untrusting and cautious. Clothing is similar to the Kenshin, but with more modern designs. Jobs include many government positions, assassins, or a position in the Norobu army.

Rurousha - Not exactly a group. A Rurousha is basically a wanderer, which can basically choose almost whatever they want for weapons and skills. They can also choose any job they want.

Islands:

Hajime - The largest island, home of the Daichi group. It has part of the world's largest ocean, and there are several waterfalls flowing off the edge. It is very beautiful.

Katashi - the second largest island, under the control of the Norubu group. Incomplete cities are still being built, so the skyline is quite interesting.

Yutaka - the third largest island, home of the Atsushi group, one large city with advanced buildings and factories stand tall.

Shigeru - fourth largest, not in control of any group. It is far in the northern regions, so it is an island of ice.

Masayoshi - fifth largest, under control of the Atsushi. A factory is here, surrounded by a forest.

Kazuhiro - sixth largest, home of the Yoshinori. The two former largest cities stand at each end of the island.

Chinatsu - seventh largest, not in control of any group. A beautiful tropical forest surrounds a small sea with an encircling beach.

Saki - fifth smallest, under control of the Norobu. Towns have sprung up from where refugee camps were once erected.

Michi - fourth smallest, under control of the Kenshin. The island is very thin, which makes it resemble a path.

Kiku - third smallest island, home of the Kenshin. The name for the island was given because of it's numerous chrysanthemums.

Hideaki - second smallest, the relic erected from one of the meteors stands here. It's magnificence is widely known, but it's use is yet to be discovered.

Masahiro - smallest island, home of the Norobu. The main government building of the old capitol still stands, but just barely.

Soyomi - Average sized island. An unactive (you can guess why) volcano rests dead at the center of the island. It's sister island is located nearby

Shiyomi - The sister island of Soyomi, it is a little smaller than Soyomi. It used to be a tourist resort before the meteor hit, now it's the central hub of transportation between the islands.

Ryomaki - An island with many waterfalls and mountains, it is the home of Dragon's Peak. It is under control of the Noboru.

Ishizu - A relatively small island. It is nearly uninhabited. It is a place where many scientific studies are conducted by Atsushi scientists. Lately, the Atsushi have become rather interested in genetics...

Tsumino - Also known as the "Island of Gambling", it is where the few casino machines were discovered and repaired by Yutaka. Gamblers from all islands come here to test their luck.

Money and Item Purchasing

There will be a system of money here, and the currency is Genkin. Each time you win a battle, you will be awarded Genkin, the value of prize earnings varying with the length of the battle. Many stores will be on different islands. What you can buy will depend on how much money you have and what your job is. Also, each island's shop will sell different things, depending on what group controls the island. I will keep an up to date record of how much Genkin you have next to your character profile.

All right, so when you're ready, you may now post your character. :)
