Story so far:
The world of Edemirror is still fairly young yet it is prosperous. The Human inhabitants have learned to work the land and harvest the numerous bounties it holds. They build using materials harvested and produced from nature. Prosperity at its peak. Societies flourished on all corners of the land, a vast super-continent known as Edem, and life was lived in relative peace. It wasn't until the recent sightings and disappearances that life began to change for all Edemans. Ferocious, terrible, vile monsters began to show themselves all over Edem. Wicked beasts of tooth, fang, and whispers of some even with wings. And a rash of disappearances of Edemans of all ages and all corners of the land.
The four largest and most prosperous societies on Edem came together in order to seek out the source of these monstrosities and eradicate it. All eyes, as of late, have been pointing to the vast desert that lies within Edem's center - that still remains untraveled and unknown. The societies decided upon choosing one person from each to represent them and the four corners of the land - North, South, East, and West. It would be this group's mission to, in essence, bring back information on these monsters.. or exterminate them. The ladder being preferred.
These four would be furnished with everything they could possibly ever need or ask for by each of the societies in order to complete their journey.
What I Need:
I'm looking for
THREE others who would be interested in playing a role in this. I will let you all choose which direction you wish to represent and am currently writing up a bit of background info on the four societies and what not so you will have a bit of an idea for character creation. There will be a posting order based on who completes their character sheets first and I will be playing a single character as well as GMing and pushing key story elements along.
Extra Info:
This is a low magic setting. "Magic" will more or less be translated into "Miracles" or actions seen as divine based on the characters involved. I will be posting a small bit of background information on religion, miracles, and how it all plays into the rp.
Your character will be Human. However they can look any way that you please. I would also like to have maybe a single or two paragraph bio added for each character as well just to add that extra depth to play off of - but I'll most likely add that into the CS.
Info on Religion
Those from the Northern regions of Edem are called the Odra, and their patron deity is the Goddess Padda. Padda is depicted as a light-skinned female with majestic wings of silver. She is believed by the Odra people to carry the souls of the deceased to their final resting places. She is prayed to for everything from protection to guidance and wisdom.
Those hailing from the Eastern lands call themselves the Adan people, and believe in their God they call Dideon. Dideon is depicted as a weathered man carrying a circle shield and long sword and clad in studded leathers. He is prayed to mostly for courage and bravery in battle and in every day life. It is believed those who fall in battle will feast and indulge in spirits for eternity at Dideon's side.
The Southern Mora people worship the God Sadro. Sadro is known as the tree God to the Mora people as they have an affinity for all things natural and wild. They believe the land and it's vegetation and creatures are sacred and holy and that Sadro is the supreme caretaker and protector of it. The Mora people are the only people known to create totems and idols dedicated to Sadro for worship purposes.
The Western folk known as the Idro believe strongly in a divine being, mostly depicted as a female, named Mis. Mis is known as the Eternal Mother to the Idro. They believe Edemirror and all within were birthed from Mis and that all are connected spiritually as a single entity. Their beliefs in family and the prosperity of the Idro people are very strong and they do not hesitate to try and convert those they meet to turning to the Eternal Mother for protection and guidance in life.
