There are the nationalities that are currently in the OP, which are the most powerful nations at the start. There are also the Elosian colonies and I will add in minor nations at some point this week, either today, tomorrow, or thursday. The RP will start in the Elosain capital of Tallhouse which is analogous to London.

One last question(actually, two), what's the difference between "born" and "trained" mages, and what countries would have Magical Institutes/schools?

A born mage is a mage who was born able to manipulate magical energy. A trained mage was born sensitive to magical energy but unable to manipulate it, they had to be taught how to tune into this power more than what they already are and thus able to manipulate it and do magic.

All nations have some form of training for their mages, but a few would stand out.

The Elosian College of Magic, considered the best mage school in the West.

The School of Magical Arts, located in the Republic city of New Deriy.

The National Academy of Supernatural Art in Telveria

The Wilhelm Institute in Havelhine

The Imperial War and Mages Academy in Anderhoven

The Leon Debusky University in Rickiveg.

General Information

Character Name: Adrian Devalle
Appearance: 5'11", 177 lbs., blue eyes, brown hair, clean shaven
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Bio: Alexander Devalle is a highly successful merchant, and was working in Geno, Escradia, and Telveria, where he met his wife Dominique, the daughter of one of his business associates, a half-Hazrami merchant who owned a large shipping company that shipped goods from Telveria to Hazram and vice-versa. Alexander's business grew significantly over the years, and a year after Adrian's birth, he relocated the family to Yao, Elosia's outpost at the edge of Zanxia, to better oversee his business enterprises in the Far East in Zanxia, Indrada, Nion, and other Oriental locales. Adrian was largely brought up by nurses and tutors, and began attending school at an elite institution in Yao for other children of wealthy Elosian inhabitants. He was later sent to boarding school in Indrada for a few years, and then all the way to Tallhouse, where he attended the prestigious and expensive Etby School. During holidays he would then go to Yao to visit his family, or occasionally they would visit him or they would meet in the middle in Indrada or Hazram or Escradia or Geno. In Indrada he was taught a minimal amount about his pyromantic abilities, which had been apparent since he was a small child.
After school, Adrian was offered a position in the Secret Service Bureau of the Elosian government by the father of a school friend (essentially the old boys' network), and accepted, mostly because it gave him an excuse to travel, collect a decent salary, and not have to do much. He has spent the last year traveling, visiting various Elosian colonies and particularly spending time in Hazram and Indrada (and during this time has also established ties to other spies from Havelhine, Anderhoven, Rikiveg, and Telveria). As a result of his well-traveled life, he speaks a multitude of languages. In the meantime, his parents have finally moved to Tallhouse back from Yao, though they have maintained their house there.
Mage? (Yes, No): Sort of (natural ability but minimal training or interest)
Nationality: Adrian is Elosian, but was raised in Yao, has spent considerable time in Indrada, and his mother is Telverian and part Hazrami, while his father has some Scoranian blood from Adrian's great-grandmother.

Mage Information

Learned Mage?: No
Born Mage?: Yes
Mage Type: Pyromancer

Miscellaneous Information

Likes: Reading, drawing and painting, writing, traveling and sightseeing, good food, and substance abuse, partying, and decadence of all kinds
Dislikes: Spending long periods of time with his family, bad weather and bad food
Personality: Adrian is usually quiet and reserved, and naturally tends to be disorganized, but he is almost always impeccably polite and gracious. While a little shy, he is still warm and friendly to those who do approach him. He isn't totally sure what he wants to do with his life, but his job in the Secret Service lets him stay connected with elite social circles and suits his interests in travel and living fast.

I do have a few issues with this app. First off he has to be in the city of Tallhouse which is located in Elosia, and with the increase of hostilities it does not make much sense for him to be in the city of a country that Havelhein will be at war with. So if you do wish him to be Havelian then he should be a civilian, alternatively he could be Elosain or Telverian. The war hasn't started yet but I do think it will be a little awkward for a Havelian soilder to be in Tallhouse.

He could also be a spy, perhaps? Went into the military and was noted for something, and got plucked out and put into service as a spy?

General Information

Character Name: Kristian Jonah Virén
Appearance:
Image

Age: 36
Sex: Male
Bio: Kristian was born to a poor immigrant family living in Elosia. His parents had migrated before he was born from a small nation known as Scorania that is currently on the brink of an revolutionary war. Kristian has two siblings, brother Edvard and sister Margaret but his parents only managed to afford to educate their oldest, Kristian.

In his early life, he thrived in school, much to his teachers surprise as he was from a poor family and was so considered unable to receive high education. He also shoved some talent in sports, especially
long-distance running. When he was 17 he was noticed by military officers in a running competition, in which he managed to break the record of his age. What really woke their interest was that during the run he showed surprisingly high tolerance of pain for a man his age.

Officers believed that with training and little luck he would become a good mage for the military. Fortune was in Kristians side and he showed talent in Ferromancy and was offered a job in the military. Military offered him steady pay check that was large enough to take care of his whole family and so he gladly accepted their offer and joined the military. He spent next 8 years of his life training his powers in the army. His first assignment came when he was 25 years old when he was sent Yao city with 95th grenadier regiment. His first year there went peacefully but in the second year of their assignment a rebellion broke out and his regiment was sent to protect the citys outskirts. The rebels were badly armed peasant that were outraged because their once great empire was now slave of foreign powers and were advancing towards Yao city with intents to kill every foreigner within the city.

While marching towards the outskirts of the city they were ambushed by quickly advancing rebels. Surrounded and outnumbered by rebels the 95th dug in just outside of the inner city walls unable to retreat back in. For three days his regiment hold out against the horde of rebels but in the fourth day their lines started falling apart. In that moment of despair Kristian used for the first time his power to it’s limit. He used his powers to turn any piece of iron he could find in to knives which he then proceeded to throw with horrific speeds to the rebels that were breaking their lines. Any shot that came towards him he blocked with his power, but it should also be noticed that the rebels were only armed with muskets and outdated rifles.

After the rebels lost their will to fight against a seemingly invulnerable whirlwind of iron his regiment finally had the chance to retreat. Kristian fell unconscious right at the moment they were safe inside the city walls. Kristian was promoted to lieutenant for his actions and was awarded a distinguished service cross thanks to his actions.

After his promotion he stayed in the 95th fifth grenadier regiment and was considered somewhat of an hero by his brothers in arms. His motivation for staying with the army is that if the chance shows itself he would be allowed to leave for Scorania to lead a possible revolutionary war against the king. Still Kristian knows that the chance for that would probably never come and is satisfied with his life in Elosia.

Mage?(Yes, No): Yes
Nationality: Scoranian/Elosian


[/td]
Mage Information

Learned Mage?: Yes
Born Mage?: No
Mage Type: Ferromancer

Miscellaneous Information

Likes: Scotch, running, reading, discussing politics
Dislikes: Ruler of Scorania, tobacco, putting people under his command in danger
Personality: Kristian is a well educated man who believes that if you ask something from someone you should be able to do it yourself. He tries also be as honourable as he can even in the midst of battle.

General Information

Character Name: Augustus von Holsien
Appearance:this (I'm not sure what kind of style Havelhine is so I'll let you decide)
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Bio: Born the fourth son to Kaiser Friedrich von Holsien and [wife name here] Augustus lived a fairly simple childhood. Augustus was born a Mage which his father took advantage of quickly. Augustus was trained from a young age with his father putting a lot of pressure on him, hoping that Augustus could become one of the strongest mages in the land. Augustus started to waver as he got older, his learning halted for a time while he went into a depressed state when he was thirteen. Eventually his brothers would encourage him to keep going and with that he would be sent off to the Wilhelm Institute at the age of fourteen. It was at Wilhelm that Augustus found his calling, he began to study and learn more. His addiction for knowledge grew, and soon enough he had completely read the entire Institute's library. After graduating from the Institute with flying colors Augustus decided to travel the world and learn all he can about magic. His first spot, the Elosian College of Magic.
Mage?(Yes, No): Yes
Nationality:Havelhine


Learned Mage?: No
Born Mage?: Yes
Mage Type:Electromancy
[align]Mage Information [/align]

Miscellaneous Information

Likes: Learning, serving his country, the progress of technology
Dislikes: Halt of progress, the destruction of knowledge, those that strive to see Havelhine fall, being placed with too much pressure
Personality: Bookish and always willing to learn. Content with his state of life politically but is ambitious to learn more, as well as diligent and temperate. Patriotic for his homeland.

RP Example: Persona RP Kingdom of Acctari Game of Thrones
Star Wars
I also am the current OP for Game of Thrones: A Feast for Crows and was a co-op for Star Wars:Knightfall (rebooted). If you need a co-op I'd be glad to help.

Also let me know if anything needs changed, since I'm not familiar with this world you've created I've tried to do my best.

Senkaku could it be that your characters know eachother since they both have spent much time in Yao city? Mayby my character would be familiar with your guys family, after all Alexander Devalle probably was the most recocnizable merchant in Yao city.

But still those are just some ideas of mine.

Given the gaps in age and socioeconomic class, I think it's extremely unlikely they'd personally know one another, but Kristian might know who Adrian's father is, so if they ever met in a bar or something he might be like "oh you're Alexander Devalle's son" or something. I doubt Devalle was the most recognizable in Yao, but he's definitely a VIP there.

Well i thought it pretty much like that, of cource they don't personally know each other but maybe they recognize eachothers names.
And yeah that bar thing sounds like the most plausible way they could have actually met before the start of the RP.

I dunno why Adrian'd know some random soldier's name, considering when your guy magicked up the rebels he would've been a little kid and probably not even in Yao at the time.
And yeah that bar thing sounds like the most plausible way they could have actually met before the start of the RP.

Oh lol I didn't mean they'd actually met, I meant if they were to meet at some point in the RP, that might be how it would go. I doubt that Adrian would frequent the same establishments as Kristian, and he's spent his time since leaving Etby zipping around the world.

General Information

Character Name: James Edward Carroll
Appearance: James
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Bio: James was born in the Elosian city of Tallhouse, growing up in the Townhouse of a former factory owner. From a young age James showed a talent for activities of the conniving variety, from stealing sweets to becoming the leader of a small gang of bullies. By the time he was fifteen James had become obsessed with Magic, specifically a less-powerful yet more versatile form known as 'Curse Magic'. This obsession would lead him to enroll at the Elosi Collage of Magic, although he would be expelled in his last year at the collage for poor behavior and inhumane experiments regarding a rat maze filled with magical traps. He was twenty years old when his private studies finally reached the point where his spells could be used on a grander scale, with uses from combat to construction. It was around this time in the young Mage's life after his expulsion from the collage that he came to meet an Elosian nationalist named Richard. After weeks of discussing politics, James came around to Richard's way of thinking- seeing the Constitutional Monarchy as a sham, a show put on to appease the masses while the nobles chose who sat in the government. James would take part in a variety of criminal activities over the next two years, before finally getting arrested and slapped with a two-year sentence in prison, leading up to the current events of the RP.

Miscellaneous Information

Likes: Using his Magic to further his own interests, Dogs, instilling fear.
Dislikes: A lack of choice, Authority, Foreign officials.
Personality: While James is a regarded as a cold, selfish young man, he genuinely holds a sense of loyalty to his Country, albeit more to the idea of Elosia rather than its current government. Nevertheless, the young mage will fight and die to protect it from outside threats, provided that his comrades be too distracted in the fighting to notice his looting.

RP Example: Another example. Same RP, different post.

He could but they don't keep for very long. A week, ten days if you keep them in the fridge, which is never convenient.

I dunno why Adrian'd know some random soldier's name, considering when your guy magicked up the rebels he would've been a little kid and probably not even in Yao at the time.
And yeah that bar thing sounds like the most plausible way they could have actually met before the start of the RP.

Oh lol I didn't mean they'd actually met, I meant if they were to meet at some point in the RP, that might be how it would go. I doubt that Adrian would frequent the same establishments as Kristian, and he's spent his time since leaving Etby zipping around the world.

Oh you mean that they would meet during the RP. That would work pretty well and your doubt is well-grounded, i didn't really think that idea through before throwing it on the table.

Also i'm not sure about how much mages affect the battles but since in the OP it says that one mage can be worth 100 rifles i suppose that what my guy did was something that commanders usually expect from mages.

Taggity tag. Seems to be fun- I'll have an app or two up soon.

Also, is is OK for one of the characters to be a military attache to the Havelhine embassy, with links to various intelligence communities due to his previous job? If so... *rubs hands together and chuckles sinisterly*

I would like to limit the number of characters from Havelhine, but if you make something of particular interest it may get through.
