Progress Entry #2[break]

Some minor things have been finished up! Mostly in regards to cosmetic things, namely member groups, some advertisements and buttons. A few base boards have been put together and I also finally started working on the site rules! Our stat system handbook has also had its first rendition completed! Though again, it might just take a while to move everything over to the site and give everything that once over polish. 
[break][break]
I plan on tackling quite a bit of things over the weekend as long as I don't get too distracted by video games. 
[break][break]


What we aim to do:

[break]
Still finishing up most of the core world-building centric ideas and also finish up writing the rest of the major factions.
[break]
Still finish up on most of the general locations writing.
[break]
Give everything the 110%!

Progress Entry #1
[break]
The Kingdom of Ixoria is a jcink premium modern magical fantasy animanga roleplay with inspirations are taken from FFVII, FFXV, & Burn the Witch. It has a heavy focus on magic and high fantasy, with races like elves, humans, dwarves, and beastfolk and taking those concepts and applying them to a modern-day setting! Everything from cellphones to a superfast metro, Ixoris City, the royal capital is the biggest modern metropolis akin to places like New York City and Tokyo.

[break][break]

Ixoria is a Kingdom, protected by a military better known as Knights of Ixoria. There are other factions within the Kingdom, as the Kingdom itself has two major small states within it. The Paradis Keys, the island chain to the South and home of the Elves, and Austrum, a city-state deep in the Northern Neverest Mountains and an original mining camp of the dwarves.

[break][break]

Unaffiliated factions include Civilians (the normies), Independent Mercenary-like Watchmen who hunt dangerous beasts known as the Mana Animus, and of course, a free criminal rogue-like faction.

[break][break]

And in the background, there is an evil organization that detests the advent of manatechnology and believes its development has tainted the mana that flows so freely in the land.

[break][break]

There is going to be a mostly freeform but also stat-based magic system. Basically, we have different methods of spell casting (Verbal, Sigil, Conduit & Bloodline) and character ‘superpowers’ or magic basically fall under these types of categories. The character ‘flavor’ if you will. Furthermore, mana itself can contain spirits or what is known as a ‘Voice.’ It’s really meant to be a system that provides good building blocks to get really creative!
[break][break]


In terms of a mechanical power system, we have a 4-stat based rank system. Each of these four stats determines an important part of character strength and ability, with the average of each of the four creating the overall character rank. It’s similar to a D&D system, but it is meant to be very simplified and easy to understand.

[break][break]

I didn’t really want to put anything up for fear of creating yet another project that would go down to be forgotten about, but I really have got a lot of basics down and even something of a timeline to get everything done!

[break][break]

What’s been done so far:
[break]
We have a site skin! It’s a premade with quite a few edits done myself and so far I’ve loved the way it has been turning out and I’m really quite picky with the way skins look haha. It even has a guidebook page! Here are some previews! [break][break]



[break][break]
About 70% of the lore has been written up, it really just needs a lot of finalizing and polish. (There’s even a map!) As well as transferring everything over to the site itself as currently, everything is in a google drive.

[break][break]

So far there are three main members of our team (including myself). I serve mostly as the loremaster and coder and we have another guy working out our power and stat system.

[break][break]

What we aim to do:
[break]
Finish the rest of the systems and lore! While I had hoped to get everything done before August, it seems a bit of a stretch to think that it can be done before then so now we are aiming for around mid-August for a site beta. Basically, a way to have more things playtested and bounce around interest. I really want to work on a character creation guide that helps set things up step by step, but of course, all the systems need to be set up first!

[break][break]

Finish the rest of the GFX! Pictures are hard. And so is the free version of photoshop ;-;

[break][break]

Locations, locations, locations. Did you know that probably one of the more grueling aspects in my opinion is writing blurbs for each forum location on a board?

[break][break]

Add and finalize groups and colors!
[break][break]
If you are interested:

Let me know! I'm badtz-milk#0240 on discord. We do have a discord server set up so if you would like to hang out with us and give input on what we're doing, it would be lovely! Also liking this post or posting in this thread would be much appreciated and also feel free to ask any and all questions~!

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

TL;DR Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
