History of The Below
"Why do we call the world The Below?"A long time ago, when a dangerous fire (solar flare) cast its life-killing rays over the surface of the earth, some humans gifted with foresight managed to flee underground. A century later, the world underground is a maze of tunnels, natural crevices, and hollows that are filled with phosphorescent lights of many colours glowing softly from the humble abodes of the survivors...
"It's called 'The Below' because something is up there..."
Imagine the softly glowing lights, piercing the blinding darkness. Amidst them are two curious friends who--against the elders' warnings--explore the natural tunnels that lead upwards to the forbidden realm....
Important!
- Fire is not achieved through the burning of wood (there are no trees underground), but rather from alternative means such as chemical reaction and possibly coal (though the fumes might become bothersome). Curiously, they never seem to run low on air...
- Since there are no sheep, clothing and fashion have taken to making the best out of animal furs and leathers of the mysterious beasts dwelling in The Below. In consideration of the limited resources, the fashion shows more skin and everyone has some kind of leather armour.
- There are many indescribable beasts living underground, and they get bigger especially the farther down you go...
- Not all areas are stable and are susceptible to collapse. There are also many places with weak ground, slippery ground, etc. Deviating off the known/marked paths could spell danger.

History of Solluna
Two very powerful spirits, or deities as they're called, are neighbours in a small world, passively watching over the lands with a detachment typical of most old and wise beings. One lives in the sea and is swayed by the moon. The other lives on a mountain and is empowered by the sun. On the day of the end of the world, humans sadly die out, but... [to be continued.] (This was a story and not necessarily an RP world.)Nameless Worlds
- In an older and magical (because magic is cool) world of youkai, humans, and witches, a town is under siege by a mob of lower-class demons called the Horde. The only ones standing in their way are some foolish townspeople and the resident magicians that happen to be quietly existing there at the time.
- In a mysterious world, filled with ambiguous rituals and creatures, in an unassuming but hearty tavern&inn in the woods on a path between two towns *breathes* .... Two strangers meet. :D [Go!]
