Triple Faction-

Year 589 AA (after apocalypse)

Humans continue to exist, the old technology, missiles, guns and the like have been destroyed during the apocalypse. No survivors remain, for they have died out of age. Their off-spring, have created a new world, the Triple Faction is a three, conflicting factions. The pagans, the imperials and the scholar factions. The three factions are conflicitng amongst one another, for supreme rule of the world. Currently, the world is in ruins, and most of it, desert or lava fields, and half the land, sunk under the ocean. Now only the remains of the larger countries remain, America, Asia, and Europe. America has only a remnant of Canada stuck to it, and it's southern side is in the ocean, America houses the Scholars. Asia, it's western side is engulfed in desert, seperating it from the European countries, most of Russia is in the sea, Asia houses the Pagans. Europe is smaller than Asia and America's original forms, but Europe is the least affected by sea. It's link to Russia is cut off by a strong river, to strong to cross. Europe, houses the Imperials.

The Pagans, believe in multiple gods, all are associated with nature and how it works. One supreme god amongst their many, they believe, was the one that caused the apocalypse in the first place, and believe that it was divine rage that caused it.

The Imperials, believe in one, almighty god, they are holy people, unlike the barbaric natured pagans. This one god, they believe shielded them from the apocalypse, and believe that they, must eliminate the Pagans for inflicting the apocalypse, and believe that they must destroy the Scholars, for not believing in the god.

The Scholars, they don't believe in any god, some might, but not devoted to them. The Scholars dig up the old technology, missiles, guns, all that stuff. But most of the technology was destroyed by the apocalypse, so they are only able to make one to two shot rifles, and small, weak pistols. They are able to make missiles too, but they only use them as the more powerful weapons.

Weapons-
Pagans: Medieval weapons
Imperials: Medieval weapons
Scholars: One to two shot rifles and medieval weapons

Capitals-
New Jerusalem for the Imperials
Dread Fort for the Pagans

Races-
The Apocalypse was a natural event according to scholars, a divine wrath according to the Pagans, and the rage of a dark king according to the Imperials. It was obvious, that a true solution to this was not identifiable. But emerging from the apocalypse was a mutation among the humans. Three new races emerged from this, the elves were originally humans who had holy faith. The Bestia were made of humans who were one with nature, and the Bona Fide humans, were humans who, did not mutate naturally. Rather they used advanced, and ancient sciences to mutate them into immortal beings. These three new races, were the result of the Apocalypse.

Elves: Exceptional control over Holy Magic. But sub consequently, those who were exceptional in this field, were not so good at physical combat, and vice versa. Elves have a life-span of about 1000 as an average.

Bestia: The Bestia are able to turn into an animal on will, but one animal is unique to each person, Bestia have extremely excellent physical skills. It isn't uncommon that they would carry around a light weapon of some sort. It isn't uncommon either, that they'd be able to use elemental magic. Bestia live for as long as humans.

Bona Fide Humans: The strongest magic users to ever be born, but with all this power, comes considerably slow physical abilities. Their magic is ancient, and is the control of machinery. A Bona Fide would often carry around some sort of machine that the user would use like a puppet. It isn't impossible that some may use more than one "puppet". Bona Fides can live forever, but have only emerged in the last 30 years, and they can still be killed.

Magic-
Magic is the control of a unique element, the light, the dark and technology.

Light Magic: The ability to heal and defend is common in this field. It is rare that this magic would be used for attacking, the attack is all left up to the physical fighters. Light magic is also able to enhance the target's ability, and sometimes decrease them.

Black Magic: Elemental magic is another name for this, controlling the five elements is this sort. Element magic is unique in traits, to each element. Water requires much strategy for maximum effect, fire is for maximum damage, wind is for maximum range, earth is for maximum defense, and thunder is for maximum speed. The drawback, is that only one element per person, Sages and Master Magicians are able to use more than one.

Technology: By hand or by Bona Fide magic, Technology is a sort. Bona Fides use manipulation of machinery, like puppets. The larger the "puppet", the more energy it's going to take. Technology isn't limited to just that, it includes the use of guns and cannons, and all that sort of stuff. It has been said that normal humans can use Bona Fide magic too.

Abilities System-
Well, many abilities are of course, possible, but without restraint, there will be too many powerful characters. Thus, the Classes.

Skill Points, Exp Points-
We all start off with 10 skill points to spend on our classes. But to get more skill points requires Exp Points, getting 10 would result in an extra 2 skill points. Thus, building Exp Points towards more Skill points, which build up towards new classes. Getting a new class means to get a new skill. But it must be related to your new class, as opposed to upgrading a class. For example a level 2 class into a level 4 class, you get a new skill relating to the same class.

[ichijin]

Classes-
Classes mean you have a profession in that field. And if you have that profession, it would take up some ability points. Everyone will start off with 10 ability points, the more powerful classes will take up around 6 points, medium leveled would take 4, and weak leveled would take 2. The strongest classes, would have an 8, which mean you must be prepared to be in the Order, that the class comes from.

Organizations and Trivia/History-

Holy Order-
The first Imperial order to ever be opened, was founded by King Arthur in 357 AA. From then on, it trained followers of the Holy Church, Bishops, Priests, all that. When the trainees became competent, they would be allowed a place in the Holy Order. It's so far only allowed the strongest to join. And by far, those training under the Order are allowed to be commanded by those in the Order. The ones in charge of the Order is the Patriarch, who is the Imperial King, and his subordinates, the Round Table. The Holy Order has for all these years, been taking over other smaller, orders that follow God. And using them as extra units. Those who are in the Order, have authority over the trainees and guards, except for Holy guards who are, members of the Order. The Holy Order is the largest Order in the entire world. Their headquarters are in New Jerusalem, and have branches set up in

Dark Underground Order-
Surprisingly, the first thing the Pagans did was open an Assassination Society. In other words, the Dark Underground Order is a free-for-all, assassination guild, which specializes in assassinations. Founded in 379 AA. This Order is for ANYONE to hire to carry out a kill, it's apparent that it's made for literally anyone to hire. Those of the Imperials would have to pay more than Pagans, and that goes for the same as Scholars. This Order is simply and Order for assassination, there is no hierarchy, just recognition of power between the members. Founded by Jack "the Ripper".

Order of the Blade-
Founded in 398 AA, the Order of the Blade is another Order, much like the Holy Order. The Order of the Blade trains and accepts powerful swordsmen within Pagan territory. The hidden arts of Shaolin, and the powerful techniques of the Samurai were their prime, and elemental control was mastered for melee combat. The Order of the Blade, serves under the Pagan King, the Emperor. This Order, also has a hierarchy. Myrmidons, Bladers. Those were what were under the Order. The ones that went the way of Shaolin, were not allowed combat until they have reached the master level. For the teaching also teaches patience. The Order of the Blade, is said to be the most powerful in the world. Rivaled by only the Holy Order. Founded by Shogun Minamoto and Shaolin Master Huo Yuanjia.

Order of the 5 Elements-
Training Mages, Apprentices, and the like, this too has a heirarchy, those who are taught the way of the magician are taught about various things here. Spells and such are a vital towards this. The Order is dedicated to research on the 5 elements, and further dedication towards making peace with the religions. But only one thing stops them from true peace, the Imperials who believe Elemental magic is Dark Magic. This Order has the ones on top, the 5 Elemental Lords. Who are like the government of the Pagans, led by the Emperor. This Order was founded shortly after The Order of the Blade. 400 AA. Founded by Lord Sage Athos.

Shadows Knife Society-
This was founded at the same time as the Dark Underground Order. The Shadows Knife Society made it's own name when it reached Scholar ears. The Shadows Knife Society is the exact same as the Dark Underground, in every way except for methods. While the Dark Underground uses knives and bladed weapons, the Shadows Knife Society prefers the use of guns, Hitmen and the like. Shadows Knife was founded by the famous, and now dead, Hitman Forty Seven.

Gunpowder Clan-
This order is only called a clan, due to it's considerably small size. Emerging just a few years ago, 581 AA, it quickly boomed. But it was only over 50 years ago that Gunpowder was created. The Gunpowder clan was the creator of the Rocket propelled explosives. Which changed the use of Gunpowder forever. Fireworks were made by this clan, which is a reason why it has thrived in such a short time. The clan was founded by a man, who's died only around 4 years ago, Alchemist Bombitall.

The Heroes Guild-
The second largest, and third most powerful Order in the world. Thriving due to it's worldwide Mercenary work. The Heroes Guild also has a hierarchy, the Warrior class are trainees, newbies, who've just recently joined. The Mercenaries are those who have already some experience in the field of battle, Berserkers are expert in the field of battle, and have received the title. Heroes are Heroes, pretty much the ones who are the Generals of the Guild. The ones in charge, are the Legends Committee who oversee everything the goes on in the Guild. The Heroes Guild has hundreds over hundreds of branches worldwide, they don't only recruit their men, but they can train others like a School for Fighting with their facilities.

Incredible speed and agility: He can dodge with incredible precision thanks to the arts of Shaolin. He can also increase his speed enough to create illusions.

Swordmaster: This is a passive ability, pretty much this means he has a large array of sword techniques in his disposal. He has many attacks, none of them use magic though.

Active- Meaning he has to actually USE it
Tempest Dragon, Blade of Judgment: A Dragounov Final. He selects a path, for example, there was one target at a tree, another by the pond, dead ahead of him and one far behind him. He'd select a path, for example, first for the tree, then the pond, then in front of him, and then the one at the back. He'd dash around in this order, curving and at the end, there would be a Chinese Dragon, it's body forming the path, and it's head at the end point. The dragon would be colored green, with thunder currents going through them, a slight bit of wind is also evident.

He can also temporarily "walk" on air with wind in his feet. He can also pass electricity through any metal that he touches with an infused part. He can discharge a bolt of thunder when his fist is infused with thunder, a razor blast of wind when infused with wind, and he can send them out his feet too.

History: Shen was of a European father, and a Chinese mother. His mother at the time was a famous Summoner, the Pagans were well, less than happy to find that one of their most famous people were in association with someone from the Holy Order. In other words, his father. After one or two years of peace, the two borne a child, Shen. After the Holy Order found out about this, they accused him of heresy and killed Shen's father without a trial. After Shen's mother ran away, and settled safely in Beijing, Shen became older and learned the ways of Shaolin, and the sword simultaneously. Soon he became famous, and opened his own Dojo. His mother then told him of his father's origins, and how he died for real, and now he seeks revenge. The Holy Order will be eliminated. Furthermore, his mother recently died from a failed summoning.

Extra class(es):

Skills/ Spells: (limited to 5, approved by me)

constant-
She has overwelming agility. she can dodge all but the fastest attacks and can climb, jump, and flip her way to almost anywere. (ex. onto rocks into trees up cliffs across small rivers etc.)

Actual stuff she has to use-

Death of dispare: uses water control. Water is drawn from the nearest source and forms swirling sphere of water around the enemy. With no escape the enemy drowns. This move can be dodged though if seen comeing.

Thundar clash: uses thrunder to increase the strength in her arm then her speed. She dashes in and lands a punch. Once the target is hit a loud explosion of thunder is heard. If the punch doesnt knock the enemy out the thunder damages their hearing. If the punch doesnt hit the target the thunder sometimes still booms but not everythime, its random.

Lightning strike: after taking her staff in one hand she amplifys her thunder through it and creates lightning which she focuses into her free hand then attacks with. (similar to chidori from naruto only its lightning instead of chakra)

Static wraith: Her strongest attack. She stabbs her staff into the ground and places both hand on it. Then she sends an huge amout of thunder through it. The lightning created is released into the air as static. When all the air is charged lightning lights up the entire battle feild for up to a mile radius. Most die and only the strongest survive, but this move is only used in dire situations for it drains most of her energy and tends to render her powerless antill rested.
