Recap

    Here, I will tell the story up until the point where the RPing will begin. Any characters mentioned will hopefully be added to the Character Thread I will be making. Message me with any questions as I will be using this thread solely for Recap.


    My name is Justice. I have lived alone with Hope(my sister) and Father. When mother died, we were the only ones there at the funeral, it could have been the rain, but I have other ideas. Ever since Mother died, Father has fallen head first down the slippery slope of alcoholism, that is so easy to fall on here in Camplight.
Camplight, Altarr, our town, is pretty normal, in comparison to other Altarrian cities. I suppose I should tell you about Altarr first though.

    Altarr used to be a beautiful forest-filled planet; there used to be rivers, and the villages were filled with joy. We were one of the better- off planets. We even had a large Magician Militia in case of war, or so I've heard. Ever since the Castnian family(the descendants of those who have ruled the Castnian Multiverse for hundreds of years) had a power battle with the Galactic Rangers(a group of military leaders who gathered a military force to begin a coup), things went downhill.

    First the Royal Family ordered all available magicians to go to Castnia, to protect the Royal City. This was the first mistake. When the magicians left, all of the planets were left helpless to the wiles of all those with evil intentions. Raids by terrorists and Dark Lords grew rampant, leaving towns without a trace of human life. Then the Galactic Rangers saw their chance as well, and they began to take control of all of the major cities which now lacked the magicians necessary to protect themselves.

    After the Galactic Rangers began to gain the upper hand, the Castnian Royalty went into hiding, somewhere on Castnia. The magicians were now the only thing left between the Galactic Rangers and the pure-blood Castnians. An intense battle ensued. At first, the Magicians held their ground, but soon they lost the battle and the building that all the Royals were in was burned to ashes, leaving the GRF in control.
    The GRF said that now the worlds would be better, but really they just became the same as the Castnians, all they did was force most of the Dark Lords back to their own worlds. This was good for the worlds, but what came next couldn't have helped us in a million years.

    The GRF decided to "perge" the GRF owned planets of All magicians. Millions were killed, those who were lucky enough to be called "innocents" were sent to either segregated magician camps, or the imfamous prison located on planet Keepalkapan. As the numbers of magicians dwindled, it became easier and easier to hide if you were a magician, so that's what people did. The GRF realized that magicians were beginning to escape their grasp. As a result, they created a instrument able to determine whether or not someone has magic potential.
    Magicians were scared. Now anyone with a fancy contraption could reveal them as "unwanted". As a result many magicians did the unthinkable; they began to give up their magic to dark magicians with the abilty to take them. This resulted in Dark Lords appearing all over the Castnian Multiverse, and now that the amount of good magicians was dwindling, the amount of havoc the Dark Lords could cause increased.
    The magicians who gave up their magic began to protest as a group known as the 'Renegades', who finally convinced the GRF to ban the magic detectors in return for a law, banning the use of magic. (The Renegades eventually turned into more of a group of terrorists than protesters.)
     Although this law helped magicians on most planets, it was too late for Altarr, where Every single magician on the planet was killed, and a barracade was put up around the planet preventing Anyone from coming on or off. In essence, Altarr was completely magic free.

     In school, the teachers tell us that almost 99% of the magicians are gone, and that any that remain are under GRF control; This holds true, however, only in the parts of the Maishar Galaxy under GRF control. This means while the percentage of magicians in GRF territory is dwindling, the amount of magicians on planets controlled by Dark Lords remains the same. This leaves the GRF with no one to fight these dark magicians with other that the military, who rarely make a difference on magic battlefields.
     Even though the magicians are gone, prejudice among the people still existed. Those with power rule over with an iron claw those who lack power.  The "commoners," as they have become known, work solely for the prosperity of the wealthy and the "nobles"(those high in rank are said to have "noble blood"). Some of the commoners even work as "helpers" in the homes of nobility and are no more than slaves. It's pitiful, sickening really, watching those who think they are better than others-- just because of position, no doubt-- stomp all over the weak. Our fallen society is evident in school, too, where the children of the nobles are above those the others, regardless of grades or skill sets.
     Father was born poor, and after Mother's death, he simply became a poor drunk; a poor drunk in a city full of nobles. Me and Hope have been trying our best to make it, basically on our own. We miss Mother, but the strange thing is, that we don't remember a thing about her, other than the fact that we all loved each other.
     We never really had many friends at school, but it was alright, me and Hope had each other. When the kids at our school found out that our mother died and the father was someone you would find on the side of the road, we became the laughing stock of the school. I tried to make some money as a helper in one of the noble's homes, but Hope made me stop because I was losing sleep. As a result, I began teaching myself archery, so that I could hunt in the dying forest near our home. This, I could barely do, as murder makes me sick, but it was necessary to keep us alive.
     I tried to join the chess club at school one day because I had heard that the competitions were coming up. The only members were a bunch of nobles who thought they were smarter than me. They challenged me to a match and said if I won, I could join. Let's just say that the nobles didn't have much of a chance against me.
     Furious, the nobles cornered me and my sister on our way home when a boy who was a noble himself saved our lives by taking on three of them at once. He introduced himself to us; his name, was Tyler.

    Tyler, me and my sister soon became very close. After school, we would always meet up and do something together. Tyler even taught me how to fight in case we were cornered like that again. In return, I helped Tyler with his school work. Tyler was the child of some very rich, very noble parents, who wanted no more than to have Tyler become the snooty, bratty, prejudiced, noble that they were. Tyler, on the other hand, wanted none of it. Tyler saw the flaws in the government. He even admitted that he wanted to change it, but what could we do? We were only kids.
      
     During the time when we knew Tyler, we met a girl named Chloe. We all became good friends, until one day, Chloe thought she caught us stealing the answers for the exams we were to take the next day. Sadly, we could not convince Chloe that we were returning them from the Chess Club where we found them.

     One day, Tyler's parents found out that he was hanging out with us, the poor commoner children, and decided to send Tyler to a military run school dedicated to preparing nobles children for their future leadership positions. Tyler refused. His parents pushed even harder, and Tyler decided to run away. Tyler came by one day, and said his goodbyes and then left. We never knew where he was going, but we knew it was far away from little, old Camplight. Me and my sister were alone again.
