Setting Information
A quick history and founding of the Magimon Guild.
It has happened before that people have vanished in groups from one place and awoke somewhere else, or so say the ancient myths. About 200 years ago, such happened again, leaving a number of people stranded here on an unknown world.
The world is infused with more magic than people have been used to, and as such, much of the local wildlife has instinctive magical power. The local magical creatures have been dubbed Magimon by the settlers.
At first the magimon were a curiosity or a threat, but a random group of people suddenly thrust into a new world with limited supplies and no support will naturally suffer turmoil.
A warlord tried to conquer all peoples and make a single kingdom under his rule.
The first empress, Empress Cristhion, at the time only a wizard studying the new environment gathered a handful of warriors from all the various peoples, but instead of facing the warlord directly, she had each train a team of magimon to fight. Thus, despite having fewer warriors, she had raised a very powerful army and defeated the warlord.
After the warlord was defeated, many of the groups had lost their leaders and been thrown in disarray. Cristhion turned her army of trained magimon and used them to help rebuild the many damages of the warlord.
Thus, they accepted her as their leader, but with different ideas about what the new governance should be like, so Cristhion formed an empire with different provinces having great autonomy and being able to establish themselves in a variety of ways.
Given the role Magimon and their trainers played in making it all possible, Cristhion formed the Magimon Guild to study Magimon and to use them to aid the people.
As people have been in this world for only 800 years, the world is not widely explored. Much of that time was spent establishing themselves.
Only in the past century or so has there really been a significant amount of exploration now that society is established enough to support such exploration.
The recent discovery of ruins in the Copperwall mountains has led to a surge in the number of explorers and expeditions.
The Magimon Guild
The Magimon Guild, analogous to Pokemon's Pokemon League, covers all the empire, which is most of the settled lands in this world.
At the top is the Guild Council which oversees the guild as a whole.
Underneath them are the Elites. In each province, four elites oversee operations in their province.
Beneath them are Lords, who run gyms. Gyms serve as local guild support centers, often helping train guild members, have research centers, and dispatch guild members on missions. Gyms often deal mostly with guild members and official guild activities.
Magimon centers are similar to gyms, but focus on support activities, like healing, and supporting the public. Anyone can find food, rest, and aid, but unless one is an official member of the Magimon guild, one must often pay. Magimon centers also host events, like tournaments and contests. The magimon centers are the primary source of income for the guild, and as such, the guild does a great deal to support them.
Magimon researchers are generally found at gyms or dedicated labs doing their research, sometimes in conjunction with other types of research.
Rangers are guild members who generally focus on gathering samples and field research for the researchers as well as handling issues akin to real world park rangers.
Trainers are the folks that find, tame, and train magimon.
Trainers have various ranks and privileges. The Magimon guild has accepted trainers as having no specific job focus, and are often seen as a reserve force for dealing with emergencies and unexpected threats. Though such members are often encouraged to train for and participate in contests and tournaments and to train and pass on magimon for sale to the public (both are major sources of income for the guild), thus they have the most freedom to go about their way and do what they want to do, only rarely being called upon to do something specific for the guild.
