Hello and welcome to The Scion Orders, a Final Fantasy 12 Hetalia roleplay!
In the current day and age, the Gods have been forsaken and the Espers themselves are now worshiped instead. There are now 13 Orders, organized cults that represent each of the Espers. They are Belias, Chaos, Zalera, Zeromus, Hashmal, Ultima, Exodus, Cúchulainn, Shemhazai, Adrammelech, Famfrit, Mateus and Zodiark.
You will find more about them here.
Each of the Orders have an Oracle, which is chosen at birth by the Espers themselves. The Oracles are identifiable by marks on their bodies, and are not only immune to their respective Esper's elements, but they can be healed by it. Another important member of the Orders are the Apprentices, that travel with the Oracles and aid them in the journey to gather followers.
Why do the Espers need followers, you ask?
Following the Occuria wars, the Espers look for people's prayers. These prayers that makes them stronger, so they can each find their place in the world. Some will try to conquer it all, some will settle for coexisting peacefully.
Meanwhile, in the Hume cities, people will often have bigger problems in mind. War has raged for far too long and now, with over one third of the world's population wiped out, what's left of mankind struggles with monsters, famine and corrupted officials in the cities.
When Empires turn powerless, only prayer will help one survive. The Orders offer asylum for the poor and the weak, and the Espers kindly grant magic for the initiates. Kings and queens themselves should offer alliances with the Orders, which now turn into truly political forces in these hard times.
Some people still refuse to turn into the cults for help. It's the case of most of the Clan members. Being some of the bravest souls, these mercenaries will venture away from the cities to keep the monsters at bay. They will take their fates into their own hands, and not wait for the Espers' blessings in order to live freely. Keep in mind, however, these fearless hunters often have faith in the Espers, but see no need for their magic in order to keep the beasts away from the innocents.
In this roleplay, you may choose the role of an Order member, a monarch, a mercenary or a civilian, and keep in it mind all of them will have missions and challenges written by the mods.
