340 years ago, Xehanort's Keyblade War ended when his plan to summon the X-Blade ended in failure and he was defeated by the Lights. Over the next 140 years, dark users tried to finish what Xehanort had started, but no matter how well they accomplished the summoning process, the legendary weapon did not appear. With these near constant attacks, the forces of Light banded together tighter then ever. United against the darkness, they pushed back, retaking worlds that had fallen into the control of Dark Masters. In a final battle over The World That Never Was, the Light Alliance believed it had destroyed the dark masters. Believing that standing together was the only way to ensure that the Darkness did not return, the Alliance became the Light Hegemony, lead by the bloodline of Sora and Kairi. For the next 200, the worlds seemed to prosper, though that was only on the surface. As time went on, a lot of the nobles and leaders of the Hegemony became disconnected from the people they were to lead and serve. Opulence, decadence, and laziness became the norm for the high royal court, and the bill was paid by the normal people. As taxes go up and those who voice complaints punished harshly, it's only a matter of time before something breaks. There are even whispers that some of the more sensible world leaders are beginning to consider leaving the Hegemony. The Realm of Light inches closer to a its boiling point. How it will stand or fall will be decided by a few...
~*Another Side, Another Story*~
While believed by the Hegemony to be destroyed, the Dark Masters escaped into the Realm of Darkness and sealed the way behind them. The Dark Masters split up, forming their own villages or nomadic tribes. For the next 200 years, they thrived in the harsh darkness, forming a lose nit civilization, but they never forgot that they had been pushed out of the Realm of Light. About 6 years ago, one of the nomad tribes were taken over by a warlord named Faedron Dramos, who began a crusade to unite the Dark Realm. He has already taken some of the strategic towns and tribes over, leaving only a few strong enough to resist him. With his control growing, some believe his goal once he has united the Dark Realm under his banner, he will set his sights on the Realm of Light...
~*Factions & Organizations*~ Light Hegemony: Ruling government of the realm of Light, led by Emperor Francis Ironhart. While most of the ruling class are just fat, stupid, and lazy, there are still some good people in places of power, but they seem to be in the minority. There are also some of the ruling class that are truly evil and take delight in crushing people beneath their heels. As part of ruling class, they are exempt from normal punishment, if the other nobles take notice at all. Military enforce rules, hunt down potential dark users and exterminate any Heartless found. Dark Crusaders: Army from the Dark Realm, led by Warlord Faedron Dramos. Made up of hardened soldier who have either learned from the in fighting between the Dark Tribes or simply surviving in the Dark Realm. Currently gaining control of the Dark Realm and preparing for a war with the Light. Independent Tribes: Residents of the Dark Realm who have evaded and/or resisted Warlord Dramos's control. Some oppose his desire to restart the war with the Light while others simply don't want to serve him. Some attempts have been made to unify to bring Dramos down, but no real progress has been made. Silver Ravens: An assassin's guild known for its discretion. Some assassins are mind wiped between jobs to prevent them from being able to tell on clients. Secretly operates in both the realms of Darkness and Light.
Additional Details <Disney Castle was destroyed under mysterious circumstances approximately 290 years ago. Some say it was Dark Users, other say it was some sort of fight among gods. No one knows for certain. The line of Mickey Mouse ended there. (Last part is negotiable) <The Capital for the Empire of Light is Destiny Island, with the opulent imperial palace built on the island reported to have been where Sora played as a child. <Heartless still turn up in the realm of light, but rarely in massive numbers and are generally exterminated by the military. <Lessor Nobodies are some times rounded up and put to work as slave labor in what ever dangerous task a ruling class goon decides. <Only the ruling class and some military officers are allowed use of a Keyblade in the realm of Light. Because few nobles have a strong enough heart to wield a Keyblade, copies were made that simply needed to be gifted. The defining trait of a copy is that it has no keychain. Because these are readily available for those who can use them, use of true keyblades is extremely rare. How lower class citizens found with Keyblades are treated vary from elevation to higher status, to conscription, to capture and execution.
Rules 1) Have Fun. 2) try to keep the rp in a PG-13 range. 3) if you are having problems with other players, please have it out here rather then in rp thread. 4) Thou shalt not kill another player's character, unless that player grants thee permission. 5) Godmodding is prohibited, as it detracts from the fun. 6) If you would like to make a faction for this rp, send me a pitch, here or through a pm. I would be happy to work with you to get it going. 7) if there is anything you want to keep secret about your character, you can send me a PM. 8) If you have gotten to this point, congratulations. You've read through the important rules. Please put "Balancing Act" at the end of your character sheet. This isn't actually necessary to sign up, but I've always done it, so why stop now? 9) Anything else I forgot. 10) Any questions? Please don't hesitate to ask
