WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN/POPPY PLAYTOWN AU-LORE AND BASIC INFORMATION.

(Yeahh...The name is ridiculous, but it is the one that best fits what I want to do.-)

“WELCOME TO PLAYTOWN!! The place where the unimaginable can become reality; where magic coexists with day to day and where the entire earth is a constant rough diamond in exploration,where things that one could only imagine in dreams can come true, where even something like a smile has power to turn in colours at this gray world..."

-Elliot Ludwig {founder of Playtown and famous explorer}.

Who Is playtown?.

Unlike to what it might seem, Playtown IS NOT a Town, it's actually a continent discovered by explorer Elliot Ludwing in the year 17XX; but it remains with the original name that he gave it out of respect for his memory... And because the irony was so funny to them that they got used to the fact .

Playtown's Geography.

It also has several great capitals, cities and towns in coastal, mountainous, desert, industrial areas, forests, frosts and some skyislands in the clouds (How have they not flown away? I leave them with the doubt-).

Within the continent there are some regions (called "Great zones") of interest which are=

Main city (Great Capital).

Elliot's Height's (oldest zone).

GamesSquare.

PlayGround.

The forgoten Towns.

[I make the map, I know; it's awful].

Its main currency is the playcoin, however in more rural areas galiostro crystal is still used (a specific type of crystal that functions as a quasi-infinite energy receptor, and which of course still maintains constant use in the territory).

His main language (for the convenience of the script) is English (although it can vary depending on how much he wants to make a comic in Spanish, and if someone who speaks another language makes a drawing he should not strictly stick to English); accents are welcome.

The native language (most frequently spoken on the Sky Islands or Forgotten Towns) is called Toynabe.

Magic in Playtown?

As mentioned above, magic is an innate element in the playtown continent; something in which Ludwig in his research and expeditions stood out as an authentic "Serendipity" to him, which caused many of the natural phenomena typical of the continent; such as the islands of the sky that remain constant above it or that the climate in some sectors can change up to 16 times per year.

In the only places where this element seems to follow the conditions of the rest of the world is in the places where there are large fields of poppies (which has given rise to thinking that this flower has canceling properties of it).

Currently and due to the earth's own influence, all inhabitants have the ability to use magic and regulations have been made so that it does not get out of control.

How is it classified the magic users?

Although in Ludwig's time he looked at his surroundings with fascination; For other contemporary explorers they were simply classified as "good people" and "bewitched people"; To date, normalization and various investigations by Leith Pierre (successor of Elliot's investigations about the continent) gave rise to the current classification, which has 6 classifications of magic users; which are=

Magicians:

Focused on laws and classification studies.

Descendants of great academics and "good people" who found a way to make sense of magic under complex systems of spells, mantras and the academic class system in order to have permission to use it freely; usually they specialize in the theoretical field, regulation, tax rulings and head the Playtown legal system.

To externalize their magic they use wands.

Alchemists:

focused on progress and sciences.

Descended and interested in workers who tried to import various refined non-native materials from the continent and make them work; They have found a way to mix magic with technologies; and in turn, bringing back the branch of alchemy from the past.

They share a hybrid system between academic and practical to have permission to use it freely.

In general, they tend to focus on heavy jobs, such as mechanics, construction and experimentation; and in rare cases in pharmacy or economy.

To externalize their magic they use alchemical circles on watches or embroidery.

Shamans:

focused on physical and mental health.

knowledgeable about the body and mind of a person to the point of being able to decipher many diseases before they manifest themselves. Although it is common for them to dedicate themselves to medicine regardless of the type of education they had; It is said that to identify a true shaman you must ask them for a prediction.

They usually dominate in the branches of medicine, nursing, psychology, psychiatry… and for some reason in divination.

To externalize their magic they use cards.

Exorcists:

focused on religion and spirituality.

The great exponents when explanations do not exist and the world beyond entertainment becomes present and calms the spiritual needs of people; They usually have a type of cloistered education and many dogmatically prefer to remain celibate.

Over time they have gained enough influence that some have enough influence to join the branch of magicians.

Actualmente la religión predominante es el "prototypism", who surrender all their devotion to those they consider the prototype of all living beings.

To externalize their magic they use jewelry with unique engravings.

Witchers:

descendants of original inhabitants of the continent and focused on conservation and nature.

They are the only ones who refused to enter the system, not much information is told beyond the rumors of their abilities with the paranormal dealings and anecdotes of several encounters of exorcists and disappearance of soldiers in their territories.

They are the only ones who don't need any external element to externalize magic, however a witch will always have a familiar.

Cursed:

originally a punishment for those who used to use their magic in destructive ways by being stripped of their magic; and now it is given a military design thanks to the discovery of "the doctor."

That discovery was that he discovered that when a body is of its magic it gains resistance and strength beyond imagination; and thanks to various experiments, the degree of controlling and transmuting the user of it according to their range is reached.

Their education takes the boarding school and academy system in equal parts.

It is common to see them dedicated to various military, police, navy… etc. branches. Although there is the case that when they desert they go to witch territory.

They cannot externalize magic, in some cases they can even cancel it when the curse is activated.

They are recognized by certain types of specific markings on the right arm that identify their rank.

Extra notes=

Witchers and magicians hate each other because of issues of culture clash, the systematic segregation and because in matters of law it becomes a dangerous war to involve either party.

The exorcists and the cursed do not relate very well either, more than anything because of the relationship of subordination that exists.

Curiously, the cursed and witchers tend to correlate a lot and see themselves as equals; it is common for several cursed people to desert and go to forgotten towns to reside.

Shamans are "social butterflies" with the other branches, and because health is not denied to anyone.

Magicians and alchemists will always work in synergy when they are together.

to a lesser extent and for warlike matters, alchemists and cursed people can relate in a neutral way

For the safety of half the world, constant diplomatic relations are maintained between magicians and exorcists to adjust terms.

About the Scientist...

There is a debate whether this problem with experimentation can occur since the time of Harley Sawyer or if Elliot Ludwig can be blamed as a side effect of his arrival.

Yeah... these sons of a *CENSURE BEEP* still existing. And they will continue to annoy the normal lives of these non-humanoid beings.

Its main indelible mark being the change in the meaning of the "cursed" in a military manner. and it is known that they have had under their control a family of exorcists that is equivalent to a royal family in the disappeared city of Gasétude, in Playgrounds.

And if you have questions…

Give me patience, when I start posting to the SCs! final designs and datas about them, I will open an ask and answer any of your questions.
