Royal Palace

A. There are two different worlds that this RPG takes place in. One in Earth and the other Ashi.
Earth:
Place:
Tokyo, Japan.
Year:
2250
Technology:
Modern/futuristic type things. Most people use a computer to communicate and telephones are nearly nonexistent. Vidnets are used instead of a telephone. There are flying cars, teleportation devises and other futuristic inventions that are used on Earth. Computer games are popular, especially VR games. The newest VR game is Yume Tamashii. There are many people who don't get human contact for days. Children who are under 18 years of age are required to go to school, though all their classes are on computers. Science rules all the principles of life.
Ashi:
Year:
Unknown, most likely in the middle ages.
Technology:
Ashi is a very medieval and primitive world compared to earth. There are no cars, no computers, no machines. To get around, people use horses or they walk. The common people on Ashi are demons or slaves. They follow the orders of those above them. Ashi used to be a mirror world to Earth but there was a war about two thousand years ago that changed that. In one world, the good won the war, in the other, evil did. Magic on Ashi is like Earth's science.
Q. What technology is there?
A. On Earth there is basically any kind of future invention you can think of. Flying cars, teleportation devises, etc. On Earth, Science rules all the principles of life. But on Ashi, magic rules these same principles.. Technology doesn't exist on Ashi.
Q. What is the clothing style on Earth and Ashi?
A.
Earth:
The clothing style from Earth can be pretty much anything you want it to be. All of the clothing is very well made and can stand a lot. The clothing from Earth stands out very much on Ashi because of the materials that it is made of and the quality.
Ashi:
The warrior's clothing is loosely based on the armor a night would wear. It is made with magic by smiths so that the men and women wearing it can move easily. It provides protection and can not rust. Men and women have the same basic clothing.
The Lords and Ladies have very expensive and elaborate clothing. The quality is superb compared to anything else on Ashi, other than the Royalty's clothing. The quality of the clothing is still behind the quality of Earth's clothing because of the lack of technology.
The Royal Family wears extremely expensive and elaborate clothing, especially when they are visible by other people. Their clothing is much more elaborate then those below them. It is often made with gold trimmings. The royalty's clothing is similar to the quality of earth's in the tailoring, but the materials are inferior because on Ashi only natural fibers are available for clothing.
Slaves and demons have very poor clothing that consists of black or gray clothing. It is usually in very bad shape and the seams are often ripped.
Dark colors are very popular on Ashi. The two most popular colors are black and blood red.
Q. What are the important cities on Ashi?
A.
The Map of Ashi
Kanton
- the largest city on Ashi and also the capital city. The Royal Palace is located here. The city is an island city, and the rest of the planet revolves around Kanton. Only the wealthy can afford to live on Kanton. The climate is very mild all year-round on Kanton.
Kanson
- the little island that lays between the city of Kanton and the mainland of Ashi. The island is abandoned and has become a desert wasteland. Outcasts are sent here to die.
Chounai
- A very dangerous city full of murders, thieves and other wretched types of people. Watch towers surround the city and are also scattered through out it for people's protection. Orphan children often end up here, trained to be assassins and thieves. Wild magic exists in this city. There have been many uprisings against the rest of Ashi, and the Royal Family, whose origins started in Chounai. Most of Chounai's population are rebels and others who are upset with the Royal Family's rule and wish to overthrow them. Chounai is constantly patrolled and watched because of this.
Shukuba
- most of the city is a very large desert. The climate is very weird in Shukuba, it ranges from extremely hot to extremely cold from one day to the next. It is said a wizard messed with the weather. Many users of magic live here and the largest library is located in Shukuba, despite the uncomfortable temperature changes.
Kikkyou
- a beautiful, but poor, city. The large lake with a beautiful 300 foot waterfall is very well known throughout Ashi. The most gentle mythical creatures live in the forest that surrounds the waterfall. This city tends to be a hunting ground for many citizens.
Gaiku
- the small city is located underground within a maze of caves. Gaiku is the center of the small, but powerful, black market that exists on Ashi. The entrances and exits are hidden. Anything that is needed can be found in Gaiku if one knows where to look. But a dangerous, unknown creature roams the caves and is said to eat anything and everything.
Anbu
- a very mountainous region in the middle of the mainland, very few people live here. The people who do live here are very isolated from others. Many dangerous animals live in the mountains, making it a dangerous region to travel. Anbu has a mild climate, but the mountains collect a lot of snow during the winter.
Sukuba
- a very small, but populated city with the most beautiful beaches on Ashi. Sukuba is a very elite town with only the wealthiest citizens. Many of the homes in Sukuba are second homes that the wealthy own for vacation. Sukuba has a beautiful climate all year-round.
Joukamachi
- the second largest city on Ashi. Almost all of the goods shipped to and from Kanton are shipped from Joukamachi. This city is the wealthiest on the mainland of Ashi and has very few poor parts. The climate is very mild all year-round.
Soubou
- a small city rich in natural resources. The climate is usually rather cold due to a very old spell that has never worn off. There are many mines here as well as many dangerous packs of wild animals.
Fushou
- the unexplored land that lays to the south of the inhabited part of Ashi. Many dangerous and mythical creatures are said to live on Fushou. The land is very mountainous so explorations have not found out much about the land.
Fumei
- the unexplored land that lays to the northeast of the inhabited part of Ashi. The land seems to be a lush forest that holds many mythical creatures, but has been explored even less than Fushou due to the jungle and the hot, humid weather.
