Wolf's Rain: Paradise Awaits Us
"They say there's no such place as Paradise.
Even if you searched to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there.
No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road; it just goes on and on.
But, in spite of that, why am I so driven to find it?
A voice calls to me, and says: "Search . . . for Paradise." "

THE PRELUDE
[FONT="]The world has long been rid of wolves, and the legend of Paradise, a world where wolves were to rein supreme, fell to myth.[/FONT]
[FONT="] Their undoing lay at the hands of their own creation: the man-folk or more commonly known as humanity.[/FONT]
[FONT="] There have been humans that have attempted to replicate Paradise, though all their efforts were in vain.[/FONT]
[FONT="] As it is said in myth, only wolves will open the true Paradise, and the scent of Lunar Flowers will guide them to it.[/FONT]
THE SETTING
[FONT="]The land lays divided amongst the three feuding Noble families, each effectively instating their control amongst the continent. Due to the tensions between the families, periods of warfare are not uncommon, which can be attributed to the general instability of a great number of cities, omitting those under ‘special’ surveillance of a Noble. As the hostility between the Nobles begin to intensify, a shadow of uncertainty is cast over the land; however, as humanity is embossed in its self-inflicted chaos, rumors surge through the land of the reappearance of Lunar Flowers. The advent of Lunar Flowers only hold connection to one thing: the wolves existence. Many begin to ponder the tale of Paradise; that perhaps it isn’t merely a folk-tale. Regardless, a full moon approaches, and soon everything will be revealed…[/FONT]

LOCATIONS
(the following list does not constitute for the entire continent, but are essential to the role-play's progress)
[FONT="]Freeze City - A[/FONT] city in the northern quadrant. It is surrounded by snow and is known for its internal conflicts with gangs and theft. Its marketplace offers a diversity of goods to its inhabitants and security from the local enforcers.
Aerial City – A city far south of Freeze City. While less crime ravaged, the city boasts its fair share of corruption. Possessing a higher social standard than Freeze City, the city is economically stable and bears an elegant design.
Northern Glaciers – Based in the northern quadrant, these icy mountains lay within the icy terrain commonly known for containing fierce blizzards. A military base once functioned below the peaks, though the base was abandoned due to the strong weather.
Denizen Island – An island linked to the Northern Glaciers by a tremendously long sea bridge, it is known for once being thought to contain the entrance to Paradise. Besides its underground sewage tunnels traveling through a majority of the continent, it is a city attributed with its common exportation.
Forest of Death- A forest which holds an abnormal electro-magnetic field that renders any technology futile and causes humans to easily lose their way.
Cave of the Forgotten – Located within the Forest of Death, none who enter have returned from it.
Desert's Bones - A vast desert covering much of the south-eastern region, it is said that people will find eternal happiness within its boundaries and are never to return. It is noted that the Hmong tribe village is stationed nearby.
RACES
[FONT="]Wolf[/FONT][FONT="] - attributed with the creation of the first man-beasts and former denizens of Paradise, their numbers have dwindled significantly due to human settlement. They are now assumed to be extinct, though recent rumors imply the contrary. During their existence, they were known to hide themselves under the guise of humanity through deception; for some of their ancestors, this state became permanent…
[/FONT][FONT="]Human[/FONT][FONT="] - creations of the wolves themselves, these man-beasts have forgotten their origins and continue to exist in ignorance. They are responsible for the mass extinction of wolves, and are the main populace of the land. A select few are capable alchemists.
[/FONT][FONT="]Hanabito[/FONT][FONT="] - humanoid creatures formed from Lunar Flowers, they carry its scent and attract wolves to their vicinity. While only few remain, amongst them is the Flower Maiden, who is said to guide the way to Paradise. Some are known to possess mystical powers.

After the first few posts, I will alert you on this thread as well as on RP thread of the full moon's presence, thus allowing your character to initiate his/her wolf transformation.
