Once upon a time, long, long ago in a place far, far away, there was the continent of Avern.
And there was magic.
Throughout Avern's history, the magic of man, beast, and Avern itself played an essential role in the natural rise and fall of cities. Of countries. Of people of all ages, of all races, of all paths of life. Magic was in the very air they breathed, and with each breath, a little of that magic entered them, as well.
Countries sprung from nothing and collapsed into dust, revolutions were sparked, and wars started. It was one of these wars that directly preceded the end, and no one wondered if it was the cause or a direct result from something that had already begun. Either way, a terrible war took place, with the screams of the dead and the dying shaking the very earth.
After years of fighting, however, the war ended (as all wars do), and Avern's people returned to an uneasy peace. Families mourned their long-gone dead while survivors grew old, and for a while, all was well.
For a while.
It crept upon them slowly, silently, almost unnoticed. But mages felt their powers weaken, and weaken more every day. And, perhaps strangest of all, their memories of their magic faded as well, day by day by day. Books of power lost their words, pages steadily turning white. And eventually, all the pages were white, and the people knew nothing of magic-- knew nothing of it ever existing.
Two hundred years dry of magic have passed, and barely a trace lingers. And suddenly, five people wake up with no memory of their past, no memory of how they came to be, and a journal with strange writing.
Welcome to Avern. It's quiet here.

Luna * Memoria is an entirely original roleplaying game. It takes place on the continent of Avern in a world completely separate from our own. There is little technology other than the penny press-- in a medieval society, there's not much importance placed on inventing.
All characters in Luna * Memoria are entirely original, created either as presets or by their players. Communication is done by a system of journals that they find have suddenly produced other people's writing. However, there is something unique about this system: to find is to lose and to lose is to find, and at the moment the journal activates for each character, one thing they value disappears into thin air. It could be a necklace, a painting, a pet.
A sister.
A lover.
Their sanity.
Real-time meetings between characters will either be done by log or in the fic format found at ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) himitsu_sensou; players may choose between the two.

Avern is separated by the Silver Sea into two subcontinents, referred to as Northern Avern and Southern Avern. It currently is home to five countries, each with its own culture.
Dakan is the westernmost country of Northern Avern. It is run by the Council of Five, which is stationed in the capital, Firon. While it is a primarily military-based country with strict punishment, the southern region has a thriving underworld of smugglers, prostitutes, and thieves.
Faline is the largest and northernmost country of Avern. It is ruled by a Council of Thirteen. The Church of Ages, which is the central religious group of Avern, has its headquarters here. Minor temples can be found all over the country.
Kalria is a large country located in Southern Avern. Its government is a feudalistic monarchy, with many noble houses paying tribute to the king at the capital of Yilan. Its ruler is King Arron; his heir is Prince Draven.
Jiranz is located in Southern Avern to the east of Kalria, and is also a feudalistic monarchy. Jiranz is famous for its flowers and its lavish seaside court at the capital, Reiarn. Its ruler is King Rhys Aesvan, with no heir.
Azurane is an archipelago located in the Golden Sea. Its capital, Aveen, is located on the largest island, also called Azurane. It is matriarchal in most aspects and ruled by a queen. Azuranians differ the most from other countries in culture, especially in religion. Its current ruler is Queen Nalia, and her heir is Princess Iva.
The Dead Lands are to the southernmost part of Avern. It has no people and therefore government. More information can be found in the OOC community.

1; What the mod says, goes. You don't like it? Talk to me about it -- I'd be happy to discuss any concerns --, but my word is final.
2; Spelling and grammar need to be at a college level. Come on, people.
3; No godmoding other people's characters. What's godmoding? Thank you, Wikipedia.
4; In-character actions have in-character consequences. If there's no way out besides Sally dying, sorry, but Sally's gotta die.
5; Please put "Semper Ibi" in the title of your application. Yes, I know I bastardized that. See #1.
6; OOC =/= IC. Don't be petty and take out your issues in the game, okay?

Luna * Memoria is run by an elitist bitch strict about the quality of applications. Don't cry if you get rejected: you're welcome to keep trying. Note that, while history, personality, and sample entry are really what one is graded on, effort should be put into each section.
YOU;
Name; Internet handle, real life name, whatever. What do you want us to call you?
Age; Really doesn't matter, but it's nice to know, right?
Journal; Your personal journal, not a character one.
RP Experience; Not really important, because everyone has to start somewhere, but still. If you've RPed with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) warwolves in the past, go ahead and skip it.
THE CHARACTER;
Name; Last names are uncommon for anyone but nobility. If I see one 'Alea'ia Starshine' it goes in the trash. Savvy? Also, do try to consider the setting and period when choosing names.
Age; v. important to know. If you already know their birthday, include that, as well.
Birthplace; Not just country, but city, too. If they grew up somewhere else, include that, as well.
Home; Where do they live now? If traveling, or the same as their birthplace, just put N/A.
Script; What does their handwriting look like? Cursive, print? Loopy, narrow, feminine?
What did they lose? Self-explanatory. I'm rather strict on these. Definitely accepted are: concrete objects, memories. If you're not sure, just contact me.
History; Tell me about their past, their present. What was their childhood like? Where did they grow up? And so on and so forth.
Personality; Now, what are they like? How do they view the world? How do they feel about themselves, their families, their friends, their country? Etc.
Watcher? Yes or no, please, and if yes, tell me about how they act. Funny? Bitter? Snarky? Kind?
Appearance; Anime and possibly some video game PBs are allowed, though I'm allowed to make the final call on any non-anime/manga PB. Tell me about not just how they look, but how they dress, how they talk, walk, sit, stand, ride.
SAMPLE ENTRY
This can be their first post, or this can be something on the weather, the news. Something that gives me an idea of the character's voice, really.
Applications should be sent to warwolves@livejournal.com.
