Champions of L.O.R.E.

Abraxus, the ageless mystic, legendary for the power he commands over the force and energy, and highest authority in ritualistic magic, has been missing for fifteen months. All signs at his home pointed to a kidnapping, but the human government threw that theory aside, calling on the old mage’s advanced abilities to prove that nobody could have taken him.

Since that day, the other races have been living in fear, for the dead are beginning to pile up. Each race save for the humans has suffered horrific losses. Ritual killings, in a style first theorized by the aged mage Abraxus, have plagued these less understood nations. Dozens of killings, with no end in sight.

Fearing that the human government is failing to protect their interests, the governments of the other races have called together a Council of War, and spread word throughout their lands…

Now is the time for Champions.

Chosen by the Council, these Champions will struggle to discover the truth of the murders, and unravel their connection to the missing Abraxus, starting in San Francisco, home to the League of the Other Races of Earth.

Now, Champions… accept the call to duty, and work toward the salvation of the many races of Earth.

Further Information
It’s a night like any other; people come home from work, have dinner and watch TV. Maybe head to the bar to have a few with their friends. Nothing at all odd in that. Or is there? In this RP, we’re giving a heavy nod to the world created by Jim Butcher in the Dresden Files. The setting is the modern day and it has all the same technology that we do. However, Magic, Magical beasts, myths and legends are all true. They live alongside Humans. The thing is that most humans aren't aware of their supernatural neighbors. Those that do know about them, regard them in many ways. Some are fascinated, some have no opinions and others are extremely prejudiced against them. Mages (who are always human) are capable of such destruction, that those individuals are watched and monitored almost excessively.

You can play a human or just about any mythical beast or creature you can think of. But, be aware, if you don’t blend in, you will have a little trouble with attitudes and might want to stick in your own neighborhoods.

One note: Vampires cannot be older than 150 years and Magic users will be strictly watched plus have the added disadvantage of having ordinary technology go wonky anytime they’re near; cell phones get static, light bulbs burn out, TVs? Not gonna happen. Even your car will hate you on a regular basis. Ask if you have questions about what we will or won’t allow.

Lastly, we will be basing this in the city of San Francisco, the sight of LORE (League of the Other Races of Earth), but it’s not exactly the same as in our world. The basics are the same, but exact streets may be different. This is going to be run by me and M4Minion. We can both answer any questions you have.
