The Ri-an factbook
So, here it is, just in its bare beginnings. I must admit I'm not very good at putting together a factbook, which is the entire reason I have not done one yet. I know their not required, but they sure are nice to have, so if anyone has suggustions, feel free to post them.
Don't worry about breaking up the order, each listing will be a link to that section of the thread, after I get that section working.

Kajeenith was originally the darker side of Yore. He and his Brother, Warfare, shared a deep seated Hatred of each other, and would stop at nothing to destroy each other. Kajeenith went insane during the great war of the Gods, and became known as The Mad God of Darkness.
Eventually, in his madness, Kajeenith hatched his foulest plot yet, unsealing The Nameless One, The Ruler of all things that do not exist. Only, to Kajeenith's surprise, The Nameless One Thanked him by absorbing him.
The result surprised The Nameless One. Kajeenith had a Will that was not easily smothered, and so Kajeenith existed within the Nameless One, who did not Exist.
Eventually, Kajeenith faded, leaving behind his will, his powers, and his mind, combined with The Nameless One's. The New entity adopted Kajeenith's name.
It knew everything both of them did, and one other thing, it was not natural, it was not actually supposed to exist. The Nameless One had Balance, The old Kajeenith had a lust for violence. The New one, desired only its own destruction, and successfully destroyed itself many times. But it kept coming back. It left The NS Reality, and travled to many Realities, learning many things, and eventually learned of The Omnisource. Kajeenith knew then, that if he destroyed all things, and The Omnisource, then he too, would be permanently destroyed, and completly not exist, and thus be in his most perfect form.
He returned to the NS reality, determined to destroy it first, for creating him.
htineejaK:
From the opposite side of Reality. He has at least Two children and one grandchild. No further information is known.
Warfare:

More information forth coming.
The National History of Ri-an Dates back to over 5,000 years ago, when the first written records were taken down. Beyond that, all knowledge is lost.
The first records indicate that on a very dark summer night, The moon of Remora Suddenly ran over with Blood. Now, as any individual with up to date knowledge of Celestial bodies knows, it is not common for one to Bleed, though it is bossible that Lava could be considered as such, but not an entire satelite. The Records also indicate that the moon howled with anger and fury.
A few years later, a man that was born of the very night itself approached the small isolated villages of Ri-an. He tormented them with fire, pestillence, famine, and Drought. then he promised relief if they agreed to be his friend.
The angry ancients chased him away with spears.
They turned to the world upon which they lived. They cried to it for aid, they begged it to relieve their suffering, and slowly, things were right again.
The man came again, having created fierce creature he called a Slypher. He released it on the villages, and promised to banish them if they became his friend.
The Slyphers were driven away, and the man left.
then he returned again, and this time, asked nothing, he just began to Slaughter the villagers.
Again, the Villagers cried out to their world to save them from the man, for he became too strong for them to fight back against.
The Villagers from all over the world clustered at a single point on the world, 500 people in all, and they all prayed for the world to save them. They thought of the world as their mother, and so asked for their mother to save them.
A great flower bloomed before them, and in its center, lay a very beautiful woman. she was the spirit of the world of Ri-an, its worldspirit. The Dark man approached, and she stood before him blocking his path to the Villagers. He struck her with his Blade, but she did not bleed. He cut off her limps, and they grew into plants, and she grew new limbs. She fought back, the man was unable to resist, and he fled to the moon, for it was there he came from, and it was his birth, that caused it to run red with blood, though what the red truely was, was never known.
The Lady turned to the people, and named herself Lady Ri-an, and so the world was named in her honor, and the people worshipped her as their mother and savior.
Lady Ri-an agreed to lead the people and protect them for as long as she could, and so hid the entire world and its moon away from the rest of the universe, so as to allow her children to grow, and multiply.
But, that was not the end of the Shadowlord, he returned, a few years later...
The Ri-an book of power, is a catalouged list of all spells and powers known to have been used by Characters asociated with Ri-an, though it is possible that some spells may have been forgotten with the passage of time.
O:
Omniflare: part of the Flare spell group. Omniflare is the most powerful of all spells. It is so powerful in fact, that even science recognises it. It is not pure magick, nor is science alone entirely capable of causing it. It is best known by its other name, The Big Bang Theory. It is thought that the Omnisource created diffrent realities using the Omniflare several times in several places. The only other entity known to be capable of the spell, is Karna, though Karna is thought to be rumor.
S:
Supernova: Super-powered Magiscience spell that only dieties and the Magi-master of Magiscience can cast. Causes nearest star to Blow up, and then reform as though it never did blow up.
T:
Terraflare: Part of the Flare spell group. Terra Flare is Earth Elemental based, and is the strongest of all offensive Earth magicks. It manifests diffrently based upon surrounding terrain.
More spells to come
1) adding more to the factbook.
The Factbook is still incomplete and does not truely live up to my vision. There are many things I've forgotten, because I do not keep notes, and the notes I do, I never look at.
2) Taking out the trash - FT RP.
No, I'm not talking about taking out the trash in real life. I don't need to post that here. I'm talking about an RP semi related to my nation, involving the disposal of a massive graveyard of ships, some of which, contain life. The total size of the trash yard, is to be equal to half the size of Jupiter, though ICly, I will make it sound much bigger, and exagerate its size.
anyways, My desire is for several outside salvage, and waste disposal companies to come in and start hauling it all away, possibly even fight over it. but then, once they get in to the graveyard, its inhabitants start fighting back, and even killing them.
3) The search for Ohm
This is going to be a particularly huge RP, at least I hope it will be, that will effect my nation. So of course its going to have a sign up thread.
Anyways, the story is, is that there is a seperate Time/space Continuum inside the NSverse, contained within the one we normally operate in. don't ask me the science behind it, and I won't have to make something up. Anyways, this TSC contains only one Planet, twice the size of Jupiter. That's ALL it contains, besides a small star and some moons. Go more than one light year away, and you leave its STC.
This world is called Ohm, and its name is Legendary among even Legends. It is thought to be a story, and nothing more, because no one has ever been able to find Ohm. Of course, how can you? The Universe is big, and Ohm's STC could be anywhere.
Despite that factor, it soon shows itself, in Andromeda.
Ohm is said to be a world filled with enough treasure to by anything, even a nation. It is said to have weapons so destructive, that to use them would cause the downfall of civilization. It is said to contain the Elixer of Life, which contains the secrets of life and immortality.
But most importantly, It is said to contain The Gate of Divinity. The Gate of Divinity is said to be able to grant those who step through it anything they desire, anything.
So, anyone and everyone could have a reason to Join.
when people get to Ohm, they will find native people that are similar to the indeginous peoples that were found in North America when Europe settled America, and then later, when America pushed west.
They will also find a massive Temple, that leads into the depths of Ohm, where the treasures are. Of course, The Temple and Depths of Ohm change layout every few minutes, and there are tricks, there are traps, there are creatures and things lurking within.
Can you find the Lost Treasures of Ohm?
