    Jade Empire is the Best

    I agree, as it inspired me to get more into Fantasy writing. The characters, how they play off one another and their backstories really sold it for me.

    Building a World of Beastkins, Humans, Sorcery, and some comedy

    Well magic is a known factor; the Five Phases are tasked to maintain balance. They're glorified government agents. One of them, the Mage of Wood is a Wildlife Preserve agent.

    Building a World of Beastkins, Humans, Sorcery, and some comedy

    I wondered if there should be a term for magical energy; I thought of Sorcery enabling one to manipulate an aspect of the universe by attuning to a certain atomic frequency.

    Building a World of Beastkins, Humans, Sorcery, and some comedy

    I like the spiritual aspect, as well as the factions from The Last Airbender as well as Legend of Korra. That's where i got the idea of the Akashic Points from.

    I thought of using the world of Avatar as an inspiration.

    All right, how about the feel that's present in World of Warcraft? Is that a better example?

    Building a World of Beastkins, Humans, Sorcery, and some comedy

    I actually have extensive knowledge about Wuxia, like how G Gundam was based on "The Smiling Proud Wanderer." When I said serious with a bit of comedy, I should have said more of a feel of Dragonball, how things didn't get serious until down the line.

    I know that particular page quite well, and I'm using the five Chinese elements: Fire, Earth, Wood, Metal, and Water.

    List of words... Shonen, a bit light hearted, not afraid to mix seriousness with comedy...

    Building a World of Beastkins, Humans, Sorcery, and some comedy

    Yeah I like that. I even wrote that the Five Phases Guild were aligned with the World Government because of their efforts to maintain balance in both worlds. I like your ideas - how can we move on from this?

    Building a World of Beastkins, Humans, Sorcery, and some comedy

    From Harry Potter, the different types of Factions and how the public at large don't understand sorcery. From Sonic, all major characters are anthropomorphic animals and it's a bit cartoony. And World of Warcraft, i love the vast world and lore.

    Well he and his comrades of the Five Phases Guild (they each are Mages of an element; Cheshire is the Mage of Fire) are destined to protect areas called Akashic Points, which act as magical nodes. Right now, there isn't an overarching plot but one can be developed. Cheshire himself does his best...

    Building a World of Beastkins, Humans, Sorcery, and some comedy

    I would like help building a world that's basically "Harry Potter" meets "Sonic the Hedgehog" in a setting that's inspired by World of Warcraft. I know it sounds amateurish but I suck at creating worlds. It is for a young adult book series I want to do that revolves around an anthropomorphic Cat...

    NaNoWriMo 2015 Thread

    I'm either going to be doing a Steampunk Jules Verne inspired story, or a fantasy revolving around my Cat Mage. Feel free to add me on the NaNo website; I can use all the writing buddies I can get.

    Nano Planning

    I wrote a space opera last year...and it sucked. It quickly started sounding like Star Wars in its second and third act. Well, what do you expect from someone who up and decided to write that story at the last minute? This year I'm going for a Steampunk Jules Verne inspired story, but I still...
