Please read this all as it explains the rp quite well in terms of some background and general info about the situation.

I am interested in starting up a thread about a school for magic persons in order to start a series of spin off threads that will encompass a bigger world with the main players becoming leaders in the magical world after they get out of school. As well, to note I do not expect there to be any real difference between the tech of this world and ours, except magical people are about a hundred years behind due to magic being the focus of development and their tech being based off people are not able to wield magic. Also, the worlds will be divided between magic and non-magical persons as each live in different communities and each of the other world keep separated from the other, yet each of the other is aware of the other at the same time the magical world keeps the knowledge of their world by erasing knowledge of it from the other world. At the same time intermarriage occurs often in that about a third of all magical world marriages that happen are between magic folk and non-magic folk. Adding to this event the children of these marriages get to chose to either accept magic or deny in at the same time retain the ability to use magic as they get older.

All people in the magical world are able to use it, yet people of mixed parentage might have only limited use of it as magic is a genetic trait in that ability. Further, people who are either descended from magical folk, or even as often a random occurrence, can have full magical ability and these folk make up fifth of the magical world. Overall, people who have a non-magic grandparent make up another quarter of the magical world and as such three quarters of the magic world are of mixed or of non-magic descent make up a majority of the magic world.

To the other end of the world are the group of people who are either true pure blood or are in essence pure magical folk. These people take great pride in their heritage in that they alone have been the ones responsible for keeping the magical community strong and are they ones who are the ones naturally born the strongest in magic, though people can become stronger through training, This group is often referred are either the high born, true blooded, pure blood, and they such are mostly are in that they are the only being to be able to break their love connections to other persons, though this comes at the price they will never known the deepest forms of love and at great pains to themselves, at the same time they still know fairly deep bonds of love. This ability has allowed them to remain a stable population grouping and to form bonds of love with those that their pride will allow them to marry only those of pure blood. At the same time their pride in they shun the ‘mutts’ of the magical world and have on a number of times been lead in their pure blooded pride in fanatical wars, at the same time there were a number of them that opposed the pure blood fanatics in the wars. These wars for a long time have flared on and off as the leaders of the wars were killed and their followers were eventually wholly defeated or submitted. To note non-pure bloods often come to rival the pure bloods natural magic affinity due to their own genetics at birth that give them strength of exceptional quality.

The government of the magical worlds is headed by a ruler who essentially comes to power based on their personal ability to command magic which earns them the position, Head of the Magical World, and it is in the belief in their personal ability that the magical world feels that the strongest should lead as they have, often enough, the most knowledge of magic which allows them to be the most effective rulers. This result has caused some dismay in that some pure blood fanatics have come to power and have waged programs against the ‘mutts’ Though, in every case they were sacked within a few months due to not having wide support.

Time period is quite solid and think of the magic world as being early 20th century and non-magic world being at our tech level. As well, no other periods of tech please, except for those from VERY isolated parts of the world in which case they can come from a much less advanced culture.

was in that thread with NCWell, all that really can be done is try to avoid such a fate for this rp.

Well, I was one of the first in Magic Academy and the first out knowing how it would turn out. Thus, obviously, I have my reservations. That being said, I like the whole idea of this expanding from a school into more RPs about the world in general. My only concerns are the way the school works and the level of RPers involved. I know many people don't like doing it, but I have often found that denying some people who are not to the level I would like makes the RP better. Still, it is your decision.

All that being said, I will probably join this with a new character or two so long as I don't see it devolve.

I am interested in joining. This could become quite an involved and enjoyable rp with endless possibilities for other rps. I'll make a character soon.
