What was once a paradise is now a dump, ravaged by wars, deforestation, depleted resources, and pollution. Many have given up on the Earth and fled it in search of greener planets while others have chosen to stay, either too greedy to leave, too hopeful that the Earth can be salvaged, or simply trapped there by a government that is obsessed with control, blinded by corruption, and enslaved by the very Dragons they once mastered.
Things aren’t much better out in space; the problems are just different. Those that managed to escape from the tyranny and toxicity on Earth now have to deal with inhumane research facilities, space pirates, and a war raging between two planets. While one country has found a new home on a terraforming Mars and has dreams of turning it into the paradise that Earth once was, it’s a twisted paradise at best, a world where only some are free and mages are bred for slavery. It seems that nowhere in the universe is safe and yet there still lies that certain hope that someday, somewhere, those that lost their home will find a new one—if they can survive long enough to look. Times seem bleak, and tensions run high, yet even among all the filth there is beauty. The Earth may be dying and individuality with it, but here and there lie small pockets of paradise among the ruins. There are sacred places on the Earth where green foliage still grows and the water is pure, though they are few and far between and said to be only rumors. And no matter how ugly humanoid nature can be, there is still room for honor and sacrifice, for as one saying goes: Remnants of the Earth is an original sci-fi fantasy RPG based off of the game Spirits of the Earth and set over five thousand years into the future from that setting. However, you do not need to be familiar with SotE to be able to play here at RotE—the game is meant to stand on its own. The game-play is free-form, meaning you’re in charge of your character and its destiny. This is a very open setting and creativity is fully encouraged, so don’t be afraid to branch out, take chances, and help develop the universe your characters live in. This is a game that welcomes and respects all players of all skill levels and backgrounds and the focus is on story-telling and character development—it isn’t a game about winning or losing or about who has the most powerful character on the site, but it is about creating fun plots and characters and trying new things. All original characters are welcome here whether they be animal, humanoid, or totally made up on the fly. So go ahead and read up and join up and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. And last but not least (and no matter how terribly cliché it is)—have fun!
Apr 28, 2008 - 5:35amYuuup! We now have three new forums and a new category. Check out the category just below Teinar and you will see that there now exists the town of Sevenwinds! As well as a mountain range! Huzzah! We also have a new board under "Join RotE" regarding Player Limits. Similarly, a new section has been added to the Rules regarding player consent. This is a consent-based game, but the exception would be Pilot Candidate characters and TRIM Subject characters. The new section in the rules explains this, though. :3 Anyway! Check out the new stuff! Yush! <3 And thank Talyafera for creating Sevenwinds! Posted by: Rhi-Rhi | Comments: (0) Major upgrade, yo!Apr 24, 2008 - 5:52amWe have phpbb3 now. 8D Shiny, eh? Muahahahaha! It'll be shiny-er tomorrow with subforums and everything, but for now...sleep calls! So don't mind the little spots here and there that gotta be tweaked. I'm doing that ASAP once I, well...wake up. xP *crashes* Posted by: Rhi-Rhi | Comments: (5) Whoo~Apr 10, 2008 - 4:26amFinished updating the Master List of Ranks and Characters! Check it out, and if I missed anyone, just reply to this post with the characters of yours that I missed (or put in the wrong spot).
Muaha! You can also tell from looking at this list what sorts of characters we need! We have a tooon of wanderers, so what we really need are more characters for, say, Teinar. And more citizens for Aedolis. And Pilot Candidates and soldiers! And Edanith citizens...and people for the Libra. There is a war brewing that's gonna affect the Libra, after all. :3 So yeah! It's all finished and pretty-fied! Huzzah! Posted by: Rhi-Rhi | Comments: (3) Pilot approaching TeinarApr 02, 2008 - 3:07amA klaxon suddenly shatters the silence of the Upper City of Teinar. The alarm blares for a few seconds before a voice crackles loudly over an ancient announcement system.
"Pilot approaching. Repeat, Pilot approaching the Upper City from the southeast. He's coming in fast. ETA in 15 minutes. We're holing up in five. Get inside or get caught." The klaxon resumes it steady alarm for sixty seconds before cutting off. Posted by: Talyafera | Comments: (0) Chat room and activity check!Mar 28, 2008 - 5:03pmJust a friendly reminder that the activity check ends in two days on the 30th! So if you haven't already, please respond to it! Otherwise your account may be deleted.
Also! We now have a chat room! The link can be found above, under the "FAQ, Memberlist, Profile, etc." links, and it opens in a pop-up. :3 That way it can sorta act like an instant messenger window, only there are no instant messenger programs required! This way everyone can chat without having to worry about having the right instant messenger program, so check it out! Posted by: Rhi-Rhi | Comments: (0) |
