Upria Details

                                                  𝐔𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐀, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄

Upria, known as the Ethereal Universe or the enchanting province is a manifestation of an ancestral mother by the name of Nilona who manifested from the Ritius (The Void) along with several other deities whose domain consist of the very elements that are practiced throughout the realm, including those of which are forbidden and rare. It is said that alongside oxygen is a secondary element of Visia (Mana) which flourishes through the fruit, the vegetables, the beverages, even down to the Fauna and Flora along with the rest of the realm's natural enivornment...that it is in fact the very reason why several Uprians are able to practice magi with ease and live long yet healthy lives as they are in their respective regions.

Nilona would soon find herself aligning with the very deities that were born with her to form an alliance known in Uprian history as the Elosin, its formation opting as the start of a new beginning and also a turning point as power and greed began to ooze within certain individuals causing not only a divide amongst their fellow allies but also their respective lands as unity became less and less of a common notion amongst certain comrades which would result in an all-out cosmic war that lasted for decades until the last drop of blood was spilled and the very beings that once existed were said to be no more...

However, many speak of descendants of the fallen Elosin, some bestowed in many of the highest-ranked kingdoms amongst the Uprian Lands -- carrying on the lineage and legacy that were left behind by the Elosin so that legends untold behind their lives could be passed down from one generation to the next...

though tales were spoken by Elosin's oracle of dark yet changing times that lay ahead for Upria as the universal scales would soon begin to tilt and a new world order would soon rise to set the stage for what might either be a disaster..or a blessing...

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐔𝐌
 ━ The Astrium is an affiliation entailing eight members that all hail from the eight known Uprian regions, some believed to be in possession of some of the rarest elements since the rise of its civilization. They are said to be considered to be ambassadors or living legends known for their historic strides, whether worldwide or within their own regions while also working together as a collective to protect the innocent and the weak from dark forces that may or may not attempt to disturb the very peace the ruin through their lands while also choosing to maintain some sense of "truce" between regions. Their headquarters is centered on the land of Daiwu, where most if not all, races from all over the realm reside in Utopia. -

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐍
 ━ The Aphuron is said to members that were either exiled from the eight regions or worse, from the nether regions of Ouslion where members within are participating in the like of dark forces with a potential vengeance to disrupt the very balance that exists in Upria's leylines and cause complete and total domination of their lands. Their headquarters unknown but rumored to be based in Ouslion itself as the Tartarean Lord themselves is the overlord and their biggest influence behind their deeds and work with promises of power and respect fueling their desires... It is also said that the Necron was started by a former member of the Astrium due to extreme usage of taboo magic after being kicked out and shunned for their reckless behavior and failure to truly uphold the oath that was laid out by the Senior generation of the Astrium.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐃
 ━ The Kindred is a Sage-like contingent whose identities have remained unknown since the start of their organization that is rumored to be great practitioners of the taboo elements that consist of several generational masters who practice in the element of time, space, blood, life, or death -- their origins unknown as garbs are worn to keep their identities hidden to the public for the sake of both safety and confidentiality. They have developed a master-student paradigm where members would take potential interests under their wings and open them a world of exhilarating possibilities... However, due to the incident that transpired with the Necron and the Astrium -- members of the Kindred are wary and have tightened the laws geared towards practices of taboo. It is rumored that the Kindred walk amongst the general population throughout Upria, working in positions that range from political and military officials to librarians and average workers (i.e Farmers, Shop Keepers, etc.)

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐍 (RESTRICTED TO STAFF FOR STORY PURPOSES ONLY)
━ The Elosin is also known as Upria's first inhabitants and earliest dated beings to wander the realm, amongst them being the Ancestral Mother and Goddess of the Great Cosmos herself Nilona. Alongside her would be several beings birthed from bosom who would be responsible for their own regions that current Uprians inhabit today -- those including the Ethereal Empire and the Infernal Realm. Tales of their presence are only written in an abundance of books that could be found in some of Upria's largest libraries with both public and forbidden knowledge hidden away for the purpose of secrecy. Some say the deities still walk amongst them but in forms of spirits for the sake of remaining hidden while others speak of a tale where even within the Progenitors was a divide as ideals and morales began to clash; prompting an all-out cosmic war amongst each other along with the manifestation of their own deities for the sake of building an army to devastate one another...something that broke the heart of Nilona as the faction's matriarch.

𝐔𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍
  ━ A native term for the inhabitants of Upria.

𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐀𝐍
 ━ The universal term for those who are coming in from other regions outside of their birth land known as an outsider. Their treatment from Uprian inhabitants will differ from region to region as members from certain lands do not treat everyone as equal or as polite as others due to the nature of their government and social environment.

𝐐𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍
  ━ The universal currency used across Uprian lands, the material made out of some of Uprian's finest minerals with assorted colors glossing over its entire base. It is said that Qurin is similar to Earth's gemstones as certain Qurin-types are rare due to the limited locations of certain minerals.

𝐒𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐈
   ━ The universal term in Uprian language that means "half-breed." Those who are addressed by this name may not receive the best treatment amongst Uprian, dependant on the region they're currently migrating to. Members of Daiwu are more welcoming to Seonavis as the central region is a blend of several different regional species and half breeds.

★ Due to the nature of the room and the potential chance that one is unable to make adjustments to a character they wish to bring into the room? It is in the best interest that one creates a character for the room as the room has plenty of room for direction. If you have any ideas and suggestions? You're free to bring them to the attention of staff and we can potentially see what we can do with it!

★ We also welcome all fantasy races but ask that members be patient as species is the biggest work in progress for Upria and will be developed in due time! Suggestions are fairly welcomed to the table to be thought of.

★ In advance, while the Realm of Upria is meant to be a fantastical setting -- we must issue a warning that this is not a room for the faint-hearted. Just as light themes are welcomed, there will be dark, mature, and gritty themes, as well as certain species and regions, are the host of some of Upria's most brutal specimens that have ever existed... Therefore instances of bloodshed, dismemberment, gore, rape, abuse, death, and more will be present. Therefore, it is mandatory that members participating in scenes involving the aforementioned issue a trigger warning as a courtesy to readers and players that may be sensitive to said material for personal reasons.

★ Drama is bound to happen but unless it is for the purpose of the story in question? It isn't welcomed in the room. Any beef that may have transpired outside of Upria will be kept outside of Upria. We don't have the energy or the patience to entertain petty high-school drama and to be frank, there's enough drama going on in our lives and the world -- we don't need it here either. We all came here to write at the end of the day and that will be the ultimate goal when all is said and done.
note: personal disputes that may transpire within the room are asked to be handled in DMS and if things continue to escalate? staff will be forced to step in. We're all adults and we should behave like it. Messiness resolves nothing and only serves to be counterproductive to dealing with the issue at hand. Not to mention, it becomes a chore and makes matters worse... So let's not add fuel to the fire, okay?

★ We all know that General OOC chatter is going to happen in main when there isn't an active scene going on so to lessen the potential of blurred lines, we ask that you distinguish whether or not you're IC by using brackets or parenthesis ( i.e [], ||, //, {} or () ) so that no one is confused as that is simply common courtesy in RP for all parties involved and makes it easier for people to communicate!

★ We all know that there's a heavy preference for writing with friends versus strangers and we're not against that either! but let's be clear. That does not mean that anyone outside of your circle should be ignored if they're trying to interact with you IC especially when you're apart of the same pantheon! We're not trying to force anyone to do something they don't wish to but we're simply encouraging you to be open to writing with other people. Because It is not only rude to ignore that writer but it makes you look extremely cliquey and it makes them feel like they're not welcomed in the room, to be honest. Everyone is welcome to interact with everyone but cliquey energy isn't welcomed here and should be kept at the door. We want everyone to feel comfortable and to have fun.

★ We all know that General OOC chatter is going to happen in main when there isn't an active scene going on so to lessen the potential of blurred lines, we ask that you distinguish whether or not you're IC by using brackets or parenthesis ( i.e [], ||, //, {} or () ) so that no one is confused as that is simply common courtesy in RP for all parties involved and makes it easier for people to communicate!

★ When roleplay is active and thriving in the room, we do ask people to lower their OOC so that posts will not get lost -- though it is encouraged that writers also save their posts in case there's more than one scene going on and said-scenes involve 2+ individuals. We're also not against shit-posting either since we do snowball when writing as well but you have been warned that it'll get lost in translation with potentially large posts happening in the room!

★ Any posts that are consist of 4 or more paragraphs should come with a 1-minute warning before being dropped in the room to give members time to save their posts in case it needs to be resent and/or they're participating in a different scene outside of the one currently ongoing. We also ask that members place their character's location in their statuses to lessen the confusion and make it easier for others to figure out where they are!

★ Combat is bound to happen when tensions between two or more beings finally rise to a head and explode, therefore? It is up to the involved writers on how they wish to conduct their battles whether it's using dice, T1, freeform, and etc so make sure you discuss this beforehand. Keep in mind that this is meant to be for FUN and interesting development between characters. Don't fret if your character loses or finds themselves defeated! As prideful as one might be? There will always be an opportunity to redeem themselves regardless of what happens.

★ Respect is a thing around here. Bullying, harassment, and racism is definitely not welcomed here and will NOT be tolerated of any kind. Treat others the way you want to be treated because what you give is what you will receive back and this is definitely doable to those on the room staff. As stated in rule #3, there's way too much drama and chaos going on in the world for that type of vibe to be lingering on a roleplay site, let alone in this room.

★ The room staff has the final say-so! Please understand that any decisions made by us are done with the intention of not only maintaining the peace but to ensure the room is running smoothly and everyone's enjoyment and a fun time are not disrupted for any reason whatsoever! We do not intend to "hurt" anyone or "be petty" -- we're simply doing what's best for a room that we've worked so very hard to bring to fruition and we deserve to enjoy it too, not just our members.

★ In case of a member being banned? Only the person who has received a ban can message the admin or mod to learn the reason behind their being ban and can appeal it - depending on the circumstances because not every ban will be appealable, and not every appeal will be honored. Any bans delivered will be discussed before being issued and will vary on a case by case basis.

★ If a staff member isn't around and there is a situation that calls for our attention that may raise the risk of a person being potentially banned? Please take a screencap of said situation and send it to an available admin when they're around immediately or leave them mail, what will transpire next will be left into the hands of the room admins.

★ Given that there are going to be elements that are not suitable for children? We will not be allowing any underage characters of any sort in the room. It is excepted that characters be at least eighteen years and older despite the fact that several beings are over a hundred thousand years old anyway. We just don't think we'd be comfortable seeing children in such gruesome settings.
