As many have shown signs of interest against the RP, but don't have either patience or time to read trough whole 23+ pages filled with story, I have decided to make the life easier by creating a story overview from the beginning till the latest post ( It will be updated after every main event of the Rp itself).
Still, to get the best reading experience, you should read trough all the posts of the original RP.
Prologue:
100 years after the epic end of Final Fantasy IX, the once beautiful and partly peaceful world is on the edge of extinction. The population of Gaia itself has grown more than dozen of times. The towns and villages from the past have grown in to cities, which are now filled with thieves, mercenaries and beggars. The former cities and remindigs of cities have turned in to the true capitals of the world, containing more population than Gaia's total population once had been. But all that only moves Gaia closer to its inglorious end.
As the cities were growing at rapid speed, the new empires were formed and yet the old ones continued growing in both, stregth and culture. But the new, young and aggressive empires have unfolded a great row of wars, which have caused fear to the fearless civilization of Mist Continent. But everything what has beginning, has also an end. After 40 years of deadly, devastating wars, everything had calmed down. For a decent or two.
Unfortunately, by the beginning of the Fall of Mages, the Great Empire Of Oeilvert or shall I say, the empire of assassins, thieves, murderers and selfish rulers, once again started a never ending war by attacking Daguerro towns in Forbidden Continent.
Once, a war with that size would only have harmed the cities and the life within cities. But this day, when the technology is quickly surpassing the power of magic, the world is slowly moving towards a total war, which will unleash nothing less than a total chaos to the planet of Gaia.
Things that once were impossible without the aid of few godly mages, like blowing up towns and empires, are now possible with the aid of bombs and other kinds of technology. And what's even worse, even a small country can afford themselves few of those bombs.
Though, even in times of darkness, there is a brighter side. The brighter side might be you, my fellow RP'ers.

----------------------------------------------------------
The last moment of peace
----------------------------------------------------------
It all begun in a quiet day like no other. The king sent out Black Lotus to gather more information about Richard Black, who had called together a meeting. Black Lotus found out that the elite of the elite, veterans of Lindblum, had all gathered in a small bar as an order from Richard who hired them all to the upcoming war. The mission was a success, until Master Vivius caught Black Lotus. Though, Black Lotus was able to escape. From that point on, Black Lotus was always followed by the companions of both, Richard and Master Vivius.
A day later, Richard Black left to Burcmeria, where he also gathered more forces to his side. That was the first encouter with Delta in the story. Also, he was suddenly attacked by an unknown beast, who destroyed a huge part of Burcmeria (The reasons of attack where only partly mentioned in the RP itself). From there, Richard headed towards Alexandria. Meanwhile, Black Lotus had travelled to Alexandria and assassinated an important captain there.
When Richard made his way to Alexandria, he met both, Eophelia and Gabriel. Eophelia joined Richard gladly, but Gabriel didn't agree with Richard's offer and they had a fight. Richard beated Gabriel without any problems and Gabriel agreed to work under Richard. The same time, Black Lotus got an order to aid Richard as much as possible.
Later that night, Richard met Letitia. It seemed as they both knew each-other and in the same time, it felt that Letitia liked Richard in the way how women like men. But Richard ignored Letitia. Few hours after that, Richard met with Black Lotus and her companion Tahomi. Letitia was still following them. While Black Lotus left to deal with her personal life, Tahomi stayed with Richard. A little conflict took place between Tahomi and Letitia, but was soon over when Letitia left.
Next day, Richard had left Madain Sari, but on his way there, they encountered around 50 warships of Eastern Outern Continent. And the news were bad, the war had started. Few minutes after meeting the allies, the enemies started to attack. More than 70 warships and a grand summon, known as Bahamut, launched a full scale attack against. The battle was devastating, but Richard had no time for fighting. He and the ship he was on, were able to escape from the battle and head to Daguerro.
--------------------------------------------------------
The World War I - The raise of Oeilvert
--------------------------------------------------------
The war started first on the sea, between the navy of Daguerro and airforce and dragons of Forbidden Continent. Gabriel was on the board of one old ship and met Kuja Tribal I there.
The second attack was against the Outern Continent forces, from which Richard took part some time.
The moment Richard landed, he met Shera. Seconds after that, they were ambushed by an Oeilvert welcoming party.( Meanwhile, Letitia met Garland II and started working for him.) A well-known Oeilvert general started a fight with Shera. The general was the same who had slaughtered her old master during the time she was in the forbidden continent. Tahomi was ''killed'' by the same general a moment later and that threw Shera in to a rampage. The general was killed, but Shera's rampage didn't end. She was totally taken over by dark trance ( Black mages secret power - told more in the RP itself) and attacked Richard. Richard was losing in the end and almost died, but Vivius beat Shera's physical body by using a single spell. That locked Shera in her mind in a fight against her dark Trance. Barely, Shera won and got control over her Dark Trance. Few hours later, she got her concious back and found out that her old master had been his father. Richard in the same time, had been the brother of his father. So yeah, as you all already know, Richard is the uncle of Shera.
While battle for Richard's and Tahomi's life was harsh, the battle on the sea was even harsher. Fortunately, Gabriel did a great job there. Meanwhile, Letitia together with Garland II had beaten the air force of Outern Continent.
When Richard was healed, he let Shera meet many of the legendary warriors and his companions. Shera also met Delta that day. Next day, they headed towards the war front in Forbidden continent. While they were in the ship, they were attacked by Garland (yeah, the good old Garland from FF IX). But later, they found out that Garland came to warn them from his creation, Garland the II. Meanwhile, Delta and Shera fell in love with each-other, yet they told nothing to other. But suddenly, their airship was shot down. Delta and Shera found each-other in a dark forest and had to fight against dark beasts who were sent there to assassinate them by Garland II.
After hours of wandering, Delta and Shera found the camp. It was the first and last time they made love.
Later that night, alarm sounded, yet Shera and Delta didn't hear it. It seemed as the war had started. Everyone, besides the two, rushed to the front. That was the beginning of one of the most known battles of history.
Quina had joined Richard, and together they smashed themselves trough the enemy lines. Until a godly beast stopped Quina. Ifrit it was. The battle between Quina and Ifrit lasted for long and was legendary. In the end, Quina ate Ifrit. And a second later, he was dead, killed by Garland II. The same moment one of Quina's students, the human called Delta, woke up. Together with Shera, they rushed to the battle front. There, Shera found out that Letitia was her mother as Letitia was mocking and teasing her. Meanwhile, Richard was overwhelmed by enemies and Delta was rampaging. Killing everyone and everything on his way until Garland II stopped him. They had a fierce duel but Garland II won. Delta was dead. And so started the next fight, between Richard and Garland II. While Richard was dying in a fight he was unable to win, Letitia was facing her own daughter, Shera. The battle was as harsh as all of the battles were that day. And the same moment when Richard was almost slashed to pieces, Vivius returned and gave Garland II a good fight. It lasted for 10 minutes, but then, Garland I appeared. After that, an epic duel between Garland I and II started. Vivius teleported them to the Terra, to avoid more destruction. And yet a moment later, Shera had fallen. A part of her power went over to Tahomi, the clone sister of her.
At that point, it seemed that the battle was going to slow down, but it wasn't like that. The mad Black Waltz Lord had joined the battle and was killing everything on his way. And then, he had a little duel with Vivius. In the same time, Richard was transported to Daguerro by a dwarf and cured there by Eophelia. While the war in Forbidden Continent had slowed down, and battle between Vivius and Darkrul ended, a new force attacked Daguerro. At that time, Letitia and Darkrul turned to allies.
Richard in Daguerro was having a hard time, until he turned in to his black dog form. Then, he encountered Darkrul. They had a duel where Richard almost killed Darkrul, but in the end, Richard lost and Daguerro was destroyed. Barely, Richard's life was saved by the king of Alexandria.
Day later, Letitia wanted to assassinate Richard but failed because of Amarus. And so started a duel between Amarus and Letitia. Letitia lost to Amarus. Meanwhile, Darkrul had charged at Alexandria and was going to destroy it. In the battlefield, he met King of Alexandria and they started a duel.
