In the year 2010, an uncontrollable evolution of science and technology has caused crime rates to rise to an astounding 200%. A new race of genetically evolved & bio-augmented human beings, are making use of their various ESPer-like abilities to commit genocide, murder & robbery all in the name of money and ego. Other "Inhumans"...those of the magical & supernatural side are also beginning to surface and make themselves known to the ordinary world.
Faced by these potential threats, the United Nations sanctioned the forming of The International World Observation & Response Division or InterW.O.R.D. All agents of InterWORD were assigned to hunt down and uncover the presence of various empowered individuals within multiple countries. Those who were found & captured had to register themselves into the Database for Inhuman Citizens (DIC) and their identities made known to the higher ups of the government before they could lead a life among ordinary society. The ones who refused to do so were either incarcerated for life or simply executed in cold-blood depending on how dangerous they could become.
For the next four years, InterWORD's Secret War began attracting the attention of other hidden factions, groups, syndicates & rogue agencies who wanted a piece of the action. Terrorists cells began recruiting Inhuman personal to do the dirty work for them and multinational corporations began to hire empowered mercenaries to take out the competition, protect their assets and overall themselves. Behind the scenes, intellectually-twisted criminal masterminds turned the war into a contest for world domination. The Great Game had begun and the ultimate winner will be the one who will destroy civilisation from its very foundations and rebuild it in his/her own image.
Thus, the government found themselves fighting a new & deadlier class of villains......one that were willing to do what it takes to set the world on fire.
The leaders of the United Nations knew that they needed another more compatible armor-of-the-law to deal with these adversaries. So in desperation, they turned to the very species they had persecuted for help. Secretary General Kiera Pentecost of the U.N and the Director of InterW.O.R.D has called a meeting for various Inhumans all around the world she knows she will need in order to form a new league of heroes.
So the question now is.....will you fight on the side of the angels?....or take part in the schemes of The Devil......your choice.
Annyeong everybody! and welcome to a revamp of my first RP for the year 2014.
The FL Universe will be taking place in our current timeline of course and the setting will revolve around the city of Arkhaven mostly. As of now there is no current plot nor storyline but I do have a main archvillain prepared if this goes long-term. In this arc we'll start off with casual introductions & character build up before moving onto the conflicts, rivalry and intense battles that are to come. I want most of you to become familiar to the environment I've created first and allow you all to decide how your chars will be and what kind of personality or behaviour you'll be going with as the story proceeds. This is not necessarily a superhero/villain RP but more like how life could have been in a world where magic exists and that there are people with powers you only read about in comic books or watch on tv shows.
Below are listed the main factions that have been established for this arc...
The International World Observation & Response Division/InterW.O.R.D
The only known security agency that has access to every government database around the world. InterWORD is funded directly from the Five Great Powers (U.S.A, China, Russia, England, France) and ex-operatives from MI6, CIA, KGB, MSS & Interpol can be found working for them. various multi-billion corporations supply them high-tech equipments & armaments to deal with their more powerful enemies/victims & they are the only intelligence department allowed to have Inhumans as spies & field agents.
The Gathering
A secret society of Inhumans led by the immortal elven, faerie, human & dwarven lords & ladies of The Seven Houses. They are mainly based around England and have been in existence since the Medieval period. In this modern era though, they are all but a myth and they plan to keep it that way. The Gathering are dedicated in protecting the rights of their kindred and most if not all are politicians who hold important positions within their countries' government and/or are entrepreneurs with influential businesses around the world.
Invigilance
A pseudo cyber-terrorist cult dedicated to global domination. Nobody, not even The Gathering nor InterWORD knows the exact extent of their network nor do they know who is really in-charge. All wanted criminals, mafia families & other crime syndicates world wide have dealings with Invigilance. There is barely a single major crime inwhich they are not involved in.
Elysium International
The demonic corporation whose true purpose is the ruining, corrupting & trading of innocent souls. They work for The Devil of course but representing him as the face of the company is the young & beautiful CEO Medea Cooper (a.k.a Bathsheba). E.I is a conglomerate business that has been around since the roaring 20's. They are currently the leading industry in bio-augmentations and cybernetics, being the very first ones to introduce it in the first place. Besides doing business in the private scientific R&D sector they also have a forefront in the entertainment categories (mainly music/recording & the porn/sex industry) secretly owning numerous famous singers, politicians & people who have made deals with Satan Himself to be what they are today. Elysium is also the ones behind the financing & supplying of the crime syndicate called Invigilance but there is no material evidence to prove it yet. In their HQ building of Arkhaven lies the one & only portal from Hell to Earth and back again.
The Sceptre
A collective group of six kings who have each been gifted with special unique powers by the Queen of Heaven herself in order to maintain balance on the Earth. The Sceptre are the true rulers of the world although nowadays they don't get involve in its affairs very much. Each of them are differentiated by the colors of their own banners.
The Blue King and Hova 12 (or the Blue Clan) has jurisdiction over both North & South America.
The Purple King and the organisation BETA (Purple Clan) operates in the continent of Europe.
The Red King and the Red Church (Red Clan) resides in Russia.
The Yellow King and his Dragon Society (Yellow Clan) in China and most of Asia.
The Green King and the Green Clan in the middle-east.
The Black King and the Black Clan in the African continent.
Each of them holds the highest influence within the political world of their own individual territories and the Kings have direct connections to Presidents, Prime Ministers & other real-life politicians & businessmen. Their identities and existence are of course a deep secret, and very few people have met them in person. Naturally, The Sceptre has power over the United Nations which means some sphere of control over InterWORD as well. All six of them however have taken vows not to interfere or use their various abilities to manipulate world events unless they have absolutely no choice.
All factions excluding Invigilance & The Sceptre are usable. You can create your own of course but for now I'll be placing a limit on how many neutral and villain factions can be created.
Character Application
Just keep in mind that I want more good guy roles to be filled out first. Those who are applying to become the main villain for this arc must be accompanied by a faction. All neutral characters must find themselves aligned with one side or the other in order to be more involved in the story.

House Application
The Seven Houses will play an essential role to the entire founding structure of the FL Universe. So feel free to create an app for any one of them. They don't necessarily have to always be Elves, Dwarves & Faeries you know. But of course I want you guys to use ONLY those races that have already been established within classic folklore or fairytales, not create your own species. Also...one of each, meaning I don't want to see two Elvish Houses or Two Dwarvish ones at the same time.
Once a House have been created for a certain species (e.g: elves) no other house/clan/society/group of that particular species can be more influential and powerful than that one......with the exception that it is a criminal faction of course which would then depend.

Faction Applications
Crime syndicates, mafia families, business corporations, secret societies etc....
Please do not abuse the factions. They are to act in a support role only and shouldn't play any major part in the RP other than giving your character a bit of help. Should be used as a platform to develop main characters. This is not a faction based RP. Combatants in organization are limited to less than 500. May have mildly superpowered/meta members up to 10.
3 more factions only please. I will only allow two more villain factions though.
