Origins: a world apart is a custom, deep, and ever expanding RPG Server set in the world Amalore, a land on the path to its impending apocalypse at the hands of extramundane deities known as the Angels.
As the player, you have been selected to be placed in the world from unknown origins to become a pawn, a tool in the movement of the world. You aren't human, you're a Creation. As a Creation, you can mold yourself in any way you want to become whatever kind of warrior you want to be. There is a main storyline/quest-line that will be released in parts: Books will be Major Updates that happen four times a year (like seasons), and Chapters will be smaller but equally important updates that will release once every month or two depending on the importance of the chapter and how big it is. This will allow newcomers, or later joiners, the chance to catch up to the rest of the players that may have already finished the quest thus far. That way, the story can't be completely ruined to those who want to learn the story through playing the game, whether it be alone or with (a) friend(s).
Having freedom of choice is one of the most important things in this server. It will feature a Cause and Effect system. Similar to Good and Evil, but a lot more neutral, yet can have extremely big consequences that are good or bad. What you as a player choose to do in the main story quest (and even other smaller side quests) will affect the overall way that the story will develop, thus shaping the land of Amalore as you play.
Custom Vocations, custom Spells, custom Monsters, custom Items; everything will be new and unique! Whether you just want to hunt and level up, explore the land for hidden treasures, embark on puzzling and difficult quests that will test your wits, or follow the captivating and mind-blowing story, there's a little bit of something for everyone.

~1 Core Vocation!~
They look like us, that one thing is certain. But that's the only similarity. We rightfully named them Archaians because they have the ability to bend elements. They can summon fire, shift earth, or shoot lightning. So we knew right away that they weren't human. But thank the Maker for them, because they're all that's standing in the way of our world ending in complete total chaos."
Why is there only one vocation, or should we say, no vocation? Trust us. There only needs to be one, and here's why.
When you create your character, you are but a blank slate. You have many choices to choose from to become the vanguard you want to be, but first things first: you must choose an element.
As a Creation, named Archaian by the citizens of Amalore, you have the ability to control a single element. You can choose to bend at your will: Fire, Earth, or Electricity.
Aside from that, you can choose whatever other skill you want to increase! Be it swordplay, club fighting, axe fighting, or archery, it's up to you. But think hard, because every element has it's perks and differences. Choose your combination wisely!
-Fire is more focused on full out, widespread attacks that is hard to miss with.
-Earth is more focused on support and tactics, helping players aim focused attack more easy.
-Electricity is more focused on powerful direct attacks, able to kill quicker than most bending.
~Leveling Up and Character Development~
"While we haven't the slightest idea of why we were chosen to be vanguards of this world, or who exactly chose us to be so, we do know this: We control our own destiny.
No almighty deity will ever be able to take that away from us."
Character development is one of Origins' biggest, in-depth factors that make the server a completely unique experience. There are so many combinations to make, paths to take that will shape you character the way you want it to be shaped.
Leveling Up: Killing monsters/enemies in Origins still gives you experience the same way that any normal Tibia server does, but Leveling up is not the same at all. Instead, when your character's level increases, you are rewarded with two amounts of experience orbs. Depending on the level, of course, each time you level up, you will receive X amount of Skill Experience Orbs, and X amount of Bending Experience Orbs. You can then teleport (so as long as you aren't in a battle) to the nearest Precursor Temple where you can spend the orbs in their corresponding abilities.
Bending Experience Orbs can be used to learn new bending techniques for your element, strengthen techniques you already know, or increase the amount of will you have to perform techniques.
Skill Experience Orbs can be used to increase the following: melee fighting damage, melee fighting speed, increase defensive capabilities, weight capacity, or increase the amount of health you have, increase archery damage or archery accuracy.
More information will come out about this section as we continue to develop it!
~The Angels~
"No one knows where they originated from. No one knows what they are besides malicious spirits. All we do know for certain is that they're here for one purpose.
To kill everything and end our world."
While there will be other smaller, less significant (but some strong) enemies in the world of Amalore, the Angels are the ones that you as a Creation have to worry about.
The Angels are ethereal beings that cross over from the Spirit World into the Real World, Amalore. Their task is to eliminate all sentient beings from the land to "cleanse" it. You can find them in Drop-Zones, portals where the Real World and the Spirit World bridge together, or they may appear during Raptures. And Raptures can happen absolutely anywhere.
~The Forerunners~
"There are clues that hint that the Forerunners existed before even the Angels. Through recent discoveries, it is safe to believe that the Forerunners are descendants of our creators themselves, the Precursors.
They exist to guard their secrets, and to test the Creation's abilities. Besting one is no easy task, and defeating a titan? ...The reward is worth more than a fortune, if you live long enough to reach it."
These guardians unfazed by time can be found by ruins of the old world or guarding the Precursor Temples. While initially they're considered enemies, they only are so because they are testing you. If an Angel appears, though, their target instantly switches and they are your allies. But be weary, they can be extremely strong, and they won't hesitate to kill you.
~Quantumshift Gates~
"Quantumshift Gates, remnant Precursor technology from the old world, can be found around the Land of Amalore. Activate one upon discovery and its power will be at your disposal."
These ancient pieces of technology are one of the few types left that still function. What are they? Teleports. They can transfer any living being from one gate to another. But in order to be able to use one, you must have found it first. You cannot teleport to a gate you have never visited.
Furthermore, the gates cannot be used while you are in combat, and it has a 1 Hour cool-down.
Want more in depth details to some of my ideas? Ask away! Any question you want to ask at all? Ask away!!

Please, any concept and/or idea is welcome, so do share! Problems, on the other hand, can be redirected to someone who actually gives a damn. (Jokes!)
Thank you!
