Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Even our world has laws created and enforced by the Goven, the rulers of this land. Follow them to the letter and you will not be punished. Followers of the rules shall be recognized for their good deeds.

1. This RP is literate. Do not use text speak or shorthand of any kind. The only non-English allowed are the words I've created specifically for the RP. You also must post more then just a few lines. I expect description, proper spelling and punctuation, etc.
2. Keep this RP at a PG-13 level.
3. Foul language is preferred not to be used at all, but I will allow it in very small amounts. Again, PG-13.
4. Romance is allowed, but it must remain PG-13. Cybering does not count as romance and is forbidden in the RP itself or in conjunction with it in PMs. Breaking this rule earns you an instant ban.
5. You must be long-term RPers and post regularly. I will not tolerate slackers or people who hold up the RP because they cannot keep up with the pace. If you can't manage, don't join.
6. Be courteous to your fellow RPers. I will not tolerate flaming, constant OOC, or blatant disregard for others. You will RP with everyone or not at all. Everyone is to be included unless I decide otherwise.
7. I reserve the right to add/delete/modify these rules as I see fit and at any time. You will be notified in the RP if anything changes.



This RP uses the whitelist/blacklist system for rulebreaking. RPers who do well and follow the rules on a constant basis will be added to the whitelist and are an example for the rest of you to follow. If an RPer breaks one of the rules they are added to the blacklist. Two blacklistings earns you a ban from the RP unless the rule broken requires an immediate ban. Once banned, you cannot come back. Period.





This is a map of the world of Tirrah. All the important places are marked, including the different countries from which each character is from and the seas on which they travel.







Here is a list of the five countries and their people, including characteristics, economy, climate, etc.

Leios- Leios lies just north of the equator in the western hemisphere and experiences both extremes of a cold winter and a hot summer. Mostly producing corn and soybeans, this country boasts a powerful army. However, despite its recent successes, Leios is young when compared to the other countries. Only the Goven and military here keep it alive. They have also embraced the Sema and are one of the few countries in which these people can relax and be safe. They are also the only semblance of a navy this country possesses. In return for sanctuary, the Sema act as the Leiosian navy in times of war. As a result, most Sema come from Leios. Leiosians are made up of mixtures from the other races. Generally, they range from light to slightly tanned skin and have all different hair and eye colors. They are also average in height.

Arnas- Arnas lies just north of Leios. The weather here is generally cold, a never-ending winter. Because the climate makes growing anything nearly impossible, these people end up being mostly breeders and trappers to earn their living. They have a formidable army, strong enough to take on any of the other countries head-to-head. They also have a decent-sized navy which is constantly harassed by the Sema. Arnasians are generally pale with light hair and blue or green eyes. They have a slightly shorter the average height and thick stature.

Iona- Iona lies in the eastern hemisphere directly on the equator and extending far into the southern hemisphere. The island nation boasts a mountainous terrain that is useless for everything except hiding and the raising of certain plants and animals as food. The greatest resource here are the people. Ionans train hard from infancy to become the best in each of their various fields. As a result, they are the finest craftsmen in the world, many weapons, jewelry, and other goods are made here, but the cost for this quality of work is high for consumers. Ionans are generally shorter than average and lean with dark hair and eyes and pale skin.

Sumsa- Sumsa inhabits most of the northern/eastern hemisphere and is a virtual wasteland cursed to endure the freezing cold of winter for eternity. It never gets above 30 degrees even in the summer months. This resulted in the Sumsans becoming a warring people who live to fight and consider death in battle to be an honor higher than all others. Their Goven barely even exists and holds no power except in name. As a result, this is another place in which Sema can find refuge when running from the laws of another country.Many Sema also had their starts in Sumsa. No one dares invade Sumsa because of their insanely large population, the largest in the world. Sumsans are generally short and muscular with leathery skin, dark hair, and dark eyes.

Goli- Goli inhabits the southern hemisphere. Their tropical climate and island status allow them to grow many types of food from plants to animals and defend their nation with the strongest navy of the five countries. Covered mostly in rain forests and one desert, Goli is nearly impossible to invade using an army and is only passable by either the natives or regular visitors to the island. Golians are taller than average and thin with dancers' bodies. They have dark or red hair and many different eye colors that complement their tanned to dark skin nicely.



Here's where the accepted characters for the RP will go as well as the profile blank for creating them. Fill out the profile completely and don't repeat colors. Everyone starts out with a captain and a ship. If you would like to play additional characters (no more than three total) then you must make them members of your crew, no one else's. (You do not have to fill out the ship portion of the profile when creating crew characters. I only need that once.) All other crew members or other characters that you may meet on land are NPCs played by the person who first brought them into the story. Send all profiles to me under the subject "Archaelos Character".
