Genre: Fantasy, primarily �rural� fantasy, with a possible touch of
steampunk and urban fantasy if the players have leanings that way

Rating: TV-14 or thereabouts, probably.  Adult content is not allowed,
but play with depth and direction is desired.

Is this RPG based on something? If so, what?: This is an original RPG,
not based on anything.  Characters stolen from movies, television, and
books are not allowed.

Overview and Short Description: A thousand years ago on the fantasy
world Hieri, humans just started waking up with wings.  They believe
the wings were gifts from their beloved Winged Goddess.  While those
with wings formed their own civilizations and had descendents with
wings, people stopped just suddenly having wings.  Only, now it�s
started again.  Is it a sign of darkness on the horizon?  A
coincidence?  You make the legend.

More in-depth Description: The Adar, the Dreigiau, and the Fae are
descendents of those who were first given wings that thousand years
ago.  While the City Dreigiau and the City Fae still stand, the Adar
are now a roaming people.  They sing of their once glorious city and
long for the day when it is to be rebuilt.

While the Winged Hieri have their glorious cities, the average Hieri
Human has a much more rocky life.  There is no strong government,
only small kingdoms and city states scattered about with villages in
between to get caught in the crossfire when someone decides to go
a-conquering. Monsters roam the land, terrible beasts with a taste
for human blood.

There are two human lines with magical abilities, those of the Magic
Sight and those of the Magic Soul.  Both these lines wage a battle
against those monsters and all darkness in their own separate ways.

To top things off, humans from modern Earth occasionally just appear
in different places on Hieri.  No one quite knows why, and none of
these humans knows how to get home.

The game hasn�t started out yet, and there is plenty of world and
plenty of directions to take the story in, all depending on the feel
of the players who join.

Requirements to join group: Anyone can join.  However, you will be
automatically placed on moderated status in the RPG group until you
have joined the OOC group, get a character approved, and post a few
times in character.  Posts must be clear, with generally proper
grammar and spelling, and at least a solid paragraph in length.  They
are to be written in third person, past tense.  If your posts fulfill
these requirements, you will be removed from moderated status pretty
quickly.

Characters: Wings RPG is an original game for original characters.
This means that �canon� characters from movies, books, and television
shows do not have a place in it.  However, if it�s hit the public
domain and you can explain how it got to Hieri, you can give it a go.
 On the side, the only limit on number of characters is the limit you
place on yourself.  However, if you can�t manage the characters you
have, you can�t keep them.

Misc: Again, the game has yet to begin.  I�m waiting to get some
players with characters before starting to post.  This game is
intended to be for role players who love to write, and meant to help
in practicing world building, character building, and writing from a
limited third-person perspective.  It�s also meant to be fun.  (These
things are fun for me.  Serious.)  While players aren�t *required* to
be writers, and won�t be stopped from playing if they aren�t, they
ought to be at least slightly aware of this.
