Yeah, the title is probably horrible, but I just can't seem to think of a good one.
This is based on an idea I had a while ago, which I thought would make a cool MMORPG or something. Yeah, like that's ever going to happen.
If any of you are familiar with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, you may find the race/class system somewhat similiar to that. I originally came up with this concept while I was addicted to that game, but stuck with the concept...I attempted to make the outline of a TCG based off of it (which of course also went nowhere). I'm considering making a story based on the original characters from the original envisioning (or whatever the word is), but in the same world.
Aaaaanyways...

Storyline Information:
This RP is set in the world of Sevorg, an alternate dimension that was originally accessed by the thoughts of a high school nerd. The original concept of the RP (as mentioned above, what would be made into a story) was this...this is basically the opening scene, which for time's sake will be set in a non-RP format. When I get a little more time, I may convert it to RP format...but don't worry, this isn't how I intend to RP or write my story, I plan on using much more detail and stuff. So, here it is:
A boy is walking down the hallway, going from one class to another. It's just a typical schoolday. He's a social outcast, he has no idea why he was shunned from society 3 years ago. He's into fantasy and science fiction, and likes the Final Fantasy game series. He someday wishes to make his own video games, card games, whatever allows him to express his creativity. So anyways, he's walking down the hall and comes to an intersection of two hallways. This intersection is a very popular hangout for quite a lot of the African-American population of the school. As he nears the intersection, his mind is wandering, thinking about a concept for a game he has recently been imagining. As he enters the intersection, a bright light flashes, nearly blinding everyone. Once they open their eyes again, they see that they are all now wearing clothes like you would find in a fantasy game, and wielding weapons! Everyone has turned into Swordsmen, Thieves, Archers, Black Mages, White Mages, and Bards. Still rubbing his eyes, the kid, dressed as a Black Mage, bumps into a large african-american swordsman. Mad, the swordsman turns to him and draws his sword. To make it worse, he insults the kid's clothes for no apparent reason. The others at the intersection, this guy's friends, take an interest in the new variation of stuff the nerd in the locker. As the original swordsman draws near, the black mage flings his arms up, exclaiming "Fire!" Nothing happens. The swordsman is now even angrier that the kid startled him. The kid overhears someone saying they wanted an axe, and then the kid realizes it-the land has been transformed into that in his newest game design. He now knows that the level 1 mage spell is stone, and promptly casts it, damaging the swordsman. A fight ensues, and the black mage is quickly reduced to 1 HP. Just as the swordsman is about to strike the final blow, a teacher, who is now a Knight (upgraded swordsman) steps in. He says he is going to report the kids to the principal's office, but another teach, a Red Mage (upgraded black mage/white mage) tells him not to. She knows the black mage from her class, and can tell that he has something to do with this. Just as she approaches the group, Orcs (yes, orcs =P) break through the windows and snatch the black mage and red mage away. The black mage's friends arrive at the scene just in time to see this, but then report even worse news: They're not on earth anymore. They've been transported to some fantasy land, inhabited by monsters and other races.

History of Sevorg
Long before the humans arrived, other races lived on Sevorg. Orcs, Valkyries, Gnomes, Dwarves, Elves, and Drow. These races lived in peace, relying on eachother for trade and other aid. The various races practiced different styles of fighting, just for entertainment, seeing as though there was really nothing to fight against. Then, one day, a portal opened in the center of the Plains of T'Nork. Out of the portal came monsters of all varieties, which spread to all corners of Sevorg. Noone knew how they got there or why they had come, but what they did know is that they were enemies. The monsters fought the intelligent races, who all banded together to fight-all except the Orcs, that is. The Orcs had gone missing in this time when people needed as much help as they could get. Without the Orcs, the plains of T'Nork fell under the rule of Sanlaism, a golem of sand and stone that commanded the earth element.
Soon thereafter, the Dwarven civilizations of Mt. Dartar fell to the monsters. Mt. Dartar fell under the control of Talthon, a golem of metal that commanded thunder and lightning.
Mt. Valsuut was next, and the gnomes fell to Marlak, the lava golem of fire.
After that, the forests of Brandite fell under attack. In the light side of the forest, the elves fell to Lefianna, a golem of leaves and wood that commanded the plants and trees.
On the dark side, however, instead of fighting, the Drow made a treaty with Chiasmus, the golem made of pure darkness. In exchange for Chiasmus's alliance and dark power, the Drow would exterminate the other races of Sevorg. Because of this, the Drow became more popularly known as Dark Elves, meaning not only their skin color but also their alignment.
The Valkyries thought they were safe in their floating fortresses, but the Drow had told Chiasmus of these kingdoms. Greesin, the wind golem, soon overtook the skies.
The sea of Narlace, protected by no race, was claimed by Floron, the water golem.
The Orcs now decided to show themselves. Archengar, the great Orc Warlock, had made the portal that let the monsters here, with one purpose: to destroy the other races and give the Orcs control of all of Sevorg!
The Golems, however, had other plans. Holineyh, the eigth and most powerful of the golems, sealed Archengar in a crystal and then ascended to a palace so high in the sky, above the Valkyrie fortresses, that only the other Golems could reach it. The Orcs were then attacked by the monsters just like the other races.
The Drow, a long time ally of the Orcs, had a word with Chiasmus. After a meeting of the Orc leader Granash, the Drow Queen Chyerenne, Chiasmus, and Sanlaism, the golems decided that the Orcs would help the Drow in the world conquest. It was only fair, seeing as that they had brought the monsters here.
All seemed lost for the other races. They were losing this war, and were totally outclassed, despite all their fight training. But then, one day, portals began opening on the Plains of T'Nork. Buildings appeared, of unfamiliar construction. From these buildings came Humans, a new race to Sevorg. The humans had little knowledge of magic and weaponry, but learned quickly, and became a valuable asset in the war.
The war still continues to this very day. The monsters, Orcs, and Drow on one side, the Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, Valkyries, and Humans on the other. The golems do not fight, but rather watch from Holneyh's palace.

Now for the character information about the RP.
This RP will have the aspect of an standard RPG-as you get stronger and level up, you will be able to wield more powerful weapons and spells.
Levels will not be closely monitored with experience, however, you should be able to tell when you've leveled up, just by the amount of time.
While keeping to the aspects of the RPG, I want this to involve as much character interaction and standard Roleplaying as possible.

*-Like I said, this will have the aspects of an RPG, including different races and classes. This is a rundown of the races, and what base classes they can be. If you have any knowledge of RPGs, you should understand what the classes do, if not, let me know and I'll explain.

That should be all you need to know...I can't help feeling I'm forgetting something...
If anything at all seems unclear, just let me know and I'll try and clear it up.
I'll be posting my character's information when I get a chance...tomorrow afternoon, probably.
Oh, and there isn't a set number of participants. Feel free to join in at any time, assuming you post your character information. We don't need a set number of people to start, so, basically, you can start roleplaying as soon as you register-just show where you're starting out (probably going to be your race's home...if you start on the Plains of T'Nork, be sure to include roughly where-"near Mt. Dartar" or "Near the light side of Brandite Forest", or even "In the middle of nowhere"...=P). If you're the first to start out there, go ahead and do whatever your character would until someone else gets there. If you're not the first in an area, feel free to interact with the other people there. So you don't get lonely in the beginning, feel free to introduce your character's friends or family...the character can socialize with them for a while before starting his/her adventure out into the wilderness, or can start fighting monsters right away.
As for monsters, I don't have a set base of monsters-just be creative and come up with something that might live around where you start out.
Oh, and if anyone cares, my character is a human-he'll be starting out in the Plains of T'Nork. Just a heads up =P.
---
So yeah...in closing, have fun, be creative, and...I can't really think of a third thing that isn't redundant to the first two =P.

EDIT: As you may or may not have seen, I threw in a history and map of Sevorg.
Also, here's my character information.
Name: Jirae
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Black Mage
Description: Red, orange, and yellow spikey hair, designed to resemble fire. He wears a black robe, with flame designs on it. He has a scar that seems to look oddly like a flame on his left leg, right around the knee.
Personality: Jirae is kind and loyal to his few close friends, and can be very hating of others.
History: In case you didn't guess it already, Jirae is the nerdy kid mentioned in the description of how humans first got to Sevorg. Jirae was 14 when the humans first got to Sevorg.
Sorry about the lack of detail on the character thing, Im not feeling especially creative right now, I'm a bit preocuupied, etc...I'll prolly update it later.
