  Haze Riders

A world where magic and curses have polluted the realm to cause mutations between the material and astral plane. The four main civilizations (Beastfolk, Humans, Scalebreed, and Soulbound) struggle against the tide of undead spirits attempting to re-inhabit the land and its dwellers, not to mention monstrous beasts and mythical creatures at each city doorstep. As other sentient species are discovered, the four spearhead the advancement to a brighter future. Humans bring forth technology and persistence against the laws of the realm. Beastfolk commune with the spirits of nature and hope to find a sanctuary where the past can be preserved without allowing their wrath to fall upon the other races. Scalebreed scatter across the land in search of the long-forgotten remnants of their civilization, hoping to find a way to undo the curse bestowed upon their ancestors. Soulbound break free from the astral plane to inhabit inanimate objects in hopes of staving off the corruption found where the undead legion has found grasp. With bow and blade, firearm and magic, vehicles and companions, these four collective fronts are the hope for life and civilization for this realm.

Would you be one to join their cause?

Vehicle and Companion rules

Still open for character creation.

The Mire has been added to the playable races. This species is a slime or ooze styled creature capable of the stereotypical abilities most know for that type, and are a welcome addition to this, hopefully still grow, universe.

Lots of peeps from the chat rooms helped making this one, and I greatly appreciate it. u w u
