Rainbow, about Gloomwatch,
OK, so Lathanon Church is anti-magic. If this church is losing power and money, they are still quite good, seeing as they

continue to kill-off people.
Gloomwatch and Sungaard are witch hunter factions, Sungaard being heavy forces, and Gloomwatch stealthy.
The Marsensian is dead-serious, but no-one cares? I'm not sure I get this part.
Various wars of factions.
Races descriptions are also involved in their history.

Overall, your thread has content and lore for sure. The bio format does not have a section for weapons, or is that left up to the Appearance section? Also, it seems the point of the RP is to pitch two different factions against each other: light vs. heavy, I think? Or was it meant to allude to them being against magical enemies? I noticed there actually isn't much witch hunting going on (other than wizard-killing in the lore), or is 'witch hunting' a generic phrase with a much broader meaning?



Anyways, less importantly, I finished my own next RP earlier today, but I'm not sure if it's a good time to post it. My new RP is basically survival-horror, users playing as vulnerable children or preteens, driven heavily by random events, random NPCs/encounters, and chance. Characters gradually suffer and die due to the RPs simple death-system, affected by Starvation and Thirst, Danger, and Disease. The RP has a peculiar system, in that, if your character reaches maximum stress or starts dying, this automatically sparks your Power, but you will still die at the end of the phase, unless by chance you happen to meet a random-generated NPC or event that may heal you.

If it's not viewed as rude or hoggish, I can go ahead and post my next RP. It's not too complex and has vagueness for simplicity.

This is what I was thinking about. ...

That kind of ties into how SukaSuka magic works - the more you want to survive, the less magic you can generate. If you lose the will to live entirely, you can generate so much magic that you'll detonate into a mushroom cloud. :P

That said, why the focus on character death? I mean, I would argue that death in literature only has impact if the character in question did have a meaningful future with people to return to.

A focus on death reminds the user that survival is the priority. It's also meant to hint something else, a potential subplot in the RP. Maybe I should just post my new RP now, that'd be easier to do. I think brainstorming is a good idea, even if an RP fails, it's still important to see what works here, and what doesn't.
