okay guys, i've been reading through all of these beautifully thought out posts and realized the plan a friend and i began to brew was completely south of those presented but would love if everyone still heard me out!
upon a discussion on discord, i would like to present the idea of an alt. earth entirely. one where rather than our known world of cities and towns groups of people chose to form "clans", "tribes", or "guilds" of sorts based around sets of separate ideals. as time carried on, each group developed separately into their own identity. this would allow for any "genre" of character to flourish in the rp.
say one was more rooted in traditional, tribals ideals and remained as a minamlist clan. very based in the old ways without compromising themselves to the out side world and living as if it were still ancient greece/egyptian/babloyan times while others are far more advanced in their technology and ideas and chose to develop into true cities.
it would all depend and the group and the identity. one could be a thriving metropolis for technology (perhaps with the exception of guns in this alt earth) the other one of knights and kings and wizards. this would be intriguing as it would also offer quite a bit of strife. groups that chose to advance could look down on those which still remain in minalmistic ways of traditions. wars could occur over such arguments, bigger groups attempting to impose authority on smaller ones. a lot of ideas could be presented.
as far as powers go, i still enjoy the idea of a rift between worlds perhaps long ago that had caused people to have powers and it has become of a norm of society. or it could just be a fact of human evolution and life in every day alt. earth.
for lore, i think it should be up to a designated group on how their home was formed and the history behind them. for the world, little to none.
i'm just spit balling over here and this idea is not very fleshed idea, but thought it would be worth mentioning as it is an intriguing concept which would result in nearly all rpers being happy!
