A settlement on the edge of a forest in what appears to be a mostly uninhabited planet.
Being a semiserious RP, it largely operates in status quo mode- stuff happens, people do things, but within a day or two it has gone back to status quo with people wandering around town talking and having fun together.
Right now its in one of its more serious notes because a character got killed, and the player of that character is not happy because his character is dead in a way that he cannot be brought back.
Most of the characters favor technology over magic, but both are allowed within reason. Please don't let loose any plagues/wildfires/act of god disasters, they will be reverted within a few days because that kind of thing annoys everyone who just wants to relax and have fun in a casual setting.
There are a few rules established though, mostly related to what happens if someone gets killed and a few specific settings that are roped off as do not enter unless the people managing those parts of the setting are available to operate those areas.
As far as getting killed goes, on death your character will drop a crystal of sorts. That crystal can be recovered and brought back to town. If enough people liked the person who died, they can show support for the character in question. Each supporting person makes the crystal become milky white and eventually glowing white, showing that the dead person has enough friends in town to permit their resurrection.
On the other hand if a crystal is not recovered and activated right away, it gradually blackens, ultimately cracking and crumbling to dust. Once a crystal has cracked, revival of that character is no longer possible. Which is the source of some friction right now, but it was intentionally written that way so that the players in the RP would have a means to vote off characters that cause too many problems or do not fit the nature of the RP. It also allows for the person controlling a character to quickly remove themselves- simply show that the crystal has blackened and cracked, making it unrecoverable.
