1. Characters on opposite factions can “convert” each other to the other side. This process is long and painful, and if you’re part of the radical versions of factions, you have a greater chance of success. Blank Slates are unable to convert others, but are the easiest to convert due to their dual nature. This makes them valuable assets should they be converted to one faction or the other.
2. Humans and BoC can convert the opposite side and Blank Slates by pouring in their powers of human imagination and soul into others. This causes an Observer to regain his/her lost qualities and slowly begin conversion back into a human. In the meantime, it is up to the humans/BoC to facilitate this process.
3. Likewise, Observers and GoO can “nullify” a Human or BoC, sucking out their soul and humanity. The process is the same as #2, just on the opposite side. Either way, it is long and painful, due to the conflict of two opposites fighting for control of the body.
4. Observers/GoO live in Sky Cities and are capable of flight, whether self-propelled or through vehicles. Humans and BoC have the advantage in oceanic and underground endeavors.
5. Being a free roam RP, this is intended to be a wide, expansive universe. Human cities are much like today’s modern cities, with elements of Steampunk and Victorian era. Their technology is much like ours, with Steampunk and Victorian stylistic flair. Of course, should a Human/BoC have descended from a certain culture (Asian, African, etc) they can choose to infuse that respective style into their weapons, etc. But remember, considering the new structure of the world, no countries exist on either side, merely cities, towns, settlements, etc. The main hubs of Humanity are: Tera (“Capital City”), Industria (Industrial/tech hub), with many smaller towns and settlements (feel free to create your own towns with other players)
6. Observers/GoO live in futuristic utopias; sterile, clean, etc. They are modern, sleek, regardless of where on Earth they live. Their “nullification” power also extends to converting non-Observer things, both living and nonliving, into modern, futuristic technology. Humans/BoC can counter this by “imagining” natural landscapes, etc. (details later) The capital city of the Observers is Zenithan, strong and centralized.
7. Blank Slates are mostly traveling nomads with small colonies and settlements. They have incredible communication lines with their fellow people.
8. Observers/GoO wield non-firearm weapons imbued with their power. Humans/BoC tend to favor firearms imbued with their power as well. Blank Slates have some flexibility. Fighting styles are variable!
9. How does a character increase their power? Well, Humans/BoC can increase their powers by living and going through experiences, expanding their minds with knowledge, etc. and converting the opposite factions. Observers/GoO increase their own power primarily through "nullifying" the world and its people. Blank Slates must either choose a side or work together amongst their own race.
10. One does not have to engage in combat. There are many activities, social, political, economic, etc.! Should you choose not to fight, no worries! The versatility of this RP is only limited by your creativity, and the rules of the universe! Hunt, create a guild, form relationships, forge a role in your respective society, rich backstories, etc.! Go forth!
