Title: ~Darkness Becomes~ INTRO/CHARACTER SUBMISSIONS
Post by: (Hexamin) on March 08, 2010, 01:25:04 pm
Edit 1: After reading Blizzard's guidelines I decided to add a features section of this story.  Check it out for some more guidelines to the game
Edit 2: Added maps and City Info
Edit 3: Added information about the Brotherhood of Blood, Dylon's Drifters, and the Thieves Guild

Darkness Becomes
Out of the Darkness came the Spectrum.  A benevolent stream of light, containing every color imaginable.  The Spectrum traveled through the void of space, filling it with the four Primaries, Greens, Blues, Yellows and
Reds.  The Greens became our planet, and the Blues followed the Greens to give the planet the Water of Life.  The Yellows gave birth to our mighty sun, while the Reds danced circles in the skies, becoming the stars.  However, the reds were separate from the other colors. The Blues gave life to all the living creatures, and the Greens were the creatures' home, while the Yellows warmed the living beings with its rays of sunshine.  The Reds did nothing other than watch from a far, alone in the cold dark universe.  The Spectrum's benevolence was scattered into the four Primaries and it shielded all living creatures from the Darkness.  However, the Reds were constantly surrounded by the Darkness, and after time, the Spectrum's light began to fade in the Reds.

One night, Rosa was staring up at the night sky, watching the stars in the sky.  She did this quite often, as she would always get a warm feeling from the night sky filled with all those twinkling lights.  Her favorite star she had named Phoenix, and for good reason too.  Every night Rosa would come out, just before the first stars came out, and every night Phoenix would be the first to light the night sky, and just before dawn, Phoenix would slowly die with the rising sun.  Rosa never fretted, however, because she knew that Phoenix would be back the next night.  On this night, Phoenix was not the first star out, in fact, Rosa would never see Phoenix again.

The Darkness had seen the weakness in the Spectrum's design, and exploited it flawlessly.  It began by letting the Reds realize they were different than the other Primaries.  Soon thereafter the whisperings began.  In a deep, cold voice, the Darkness spoke, "Unessential... meaningless... distant..."  These words the Reds were already toying with in their minds, but the Darkness magnified them.  One night, the Reds confronted the Darkness.

"Why would the Spectrum do this?  Why would She create four Primaries, but seclude us from the rest?"  The Reds hearts were sinking.

The Darkness withheld a sinister laugh, instead voice its "sincere" concern.  "Poor little Reds, out in the void of space all by themselves.  Too far away to have any impact on the planet and its life.  Such a waste..."

The Reds perked their heads up, "A waste?  What do you mean?"

"Well, my little Reds... your color, it deserves to be closer to life.  You have so much to offer to the planet and its inhabitants."  The Darkness swirled around the Reds in an eerily comforting way, putting the Reds into a hazy delirium.

The Reds fought to think straight, but were lost in thoughts of hopelessness and meaninglessness.  "What should we do then?  How can we be closer?"

"Mmmm... well."  The Darkness slyly said, "You do know that I have been to the other side of the universe, I even move faster than the Spectrum ever could.  And yes... I have seen the planet up close, watched the living creatures even closer."

The Reds minds continued to spin, vividly imagining the Darkness swirling through the void all the way to the planet.  "How do we get close to the planet?  We want to experience life!"

The Darkness spun around the Reds and whispered, "I could take you there."

"Please, get us there, what must we do to be closer?"

"Give me your color."  And the Darkness began to grow darker.

Rosa noticed Phoenix's absence.  She did not realize that the Darkness was responsible for taking the light away.  Several more nights passed and Rosa still had not seen Phoenix.  What's more, she noticed a lack of brilliance in the sky, there seemed to be very few stars left in the sky.  Rosa became depressed and illness quickly followed.  She was bedridden for weeks, and by the time the last star went out, Rosa was on the brink of death.  That's when she was visited by the Darkness.

The house became quiet, no sound entered the house, and no sound was made in the house.  A blanket fell over the house, overwhelming Rosa in her bed.  It was pure evil that she felt, pure evil with a hint of familiarity.  She looked towards the window, and opened her mouth to inquire about the strange presence; nothing escaped her lips.  

"Hush child."  The Darkness flowed into her room, surrounding her gently with the insanity of nothingness.  What was this familiarity Rosa felt?  Her weak body could not handle the sensation and quickly became unconscious.

When her eyes opened she saw a star.  "Phoenix?"  She asked, even though she knew Phoenix never had such a malignant aura about him.

"No child, I am Niribu."  The light came closer and Rosa let the light fall into her hands.  "Take me, I am yours."

Rosa clasped her hands around Niribu and fell backwards slowly, and just before she hit the ground, she awoke.  The presence was gone from the house.  Her body felt strong.  Rosa was fully recovered, but whereas the Darkness was no longer surrounding the house, Rosa did still feel different.  Niribu was inside her, festering, waiting for his time to cover the entire world in Darkness.


The Planet
World Map: ShowHide

(http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/Hexamin/WorldMap.jpg)

Cities Identified: ShowHide

(http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx30/Hexamin/WorldMap-Cities-1.jpg)

The Greens provided the creature on the planet mountains and valleys, forests and caves, and all sorts of terrain to be inhabited.  The Blues breathed life into the creatures, and the Yellows provided them warmth.  Everything had its place on the planet.  A circle of life allowed Humans, the images of the Spectrum, to thrive.  Human's had powers of creativity and through their creativity they could manipulate the world around them.  Most humans could only manipulate certain elements, whether it be earth, fire, water, or wind, but a few could also expand their powers of manipulation and control another aspect, unique to that person.  While no one could create something out of nothing, a human's powers were only limited to their creativity.  One human that manipulated water could be in a stone cave, but feel a deep well beneath them and summon the water through the crevices in the rocks beneath.  Another human that manipulates wind might be submerged under water, but have a constant breath from the surface wind.  Regardless, humans had no need to harm each other, beasts were plentiful, and plants grew rampant.  No human was without.  However, the day the Darkness stepped into the world through Rosa, doubt entered humans' minds much as it did with the Reds.  As soon as Niribu entered Rosa, the great Kingdom Unificus began to crumble.  King Ursa died that night and his sons were both convinced they were the rightful heir.  Kingdom Unificus would quickly decay leaving not only two factions, each siding with it's prince, but also a good number who saw Zenith and his great powers as a manipulator as a potential king.

Unificus:  This city has always been the center of the planet.  King Ursa ruled here and so did all the kings before him.  Life always thrived here, as travelers who went from the northern coast to the southern coast had to go through the mountain pass.  The mountains were dangerous, so Unificus was the only plausible route for sane adventurers.  Since the king died, it is now Prince Wensil's stronghold, and his Royalists make sure no other faction members even pass through the city.  It is still a safe thriving place for those who support Prince Wensil, although fewer outsiders dare visit for fear of Prince Wensil's paranoia towards other factions.

Castle Terna:  An ancient king, King Leon, built Castle Terna.  There was a time when the planet was plagued with goblins.  They overran Unificus from the mountains and King Leon was forced to relocate Unificus's population, so he built a castle to protect his people.  Along with the castle, a military was created to defeat the goblins.  The goblins were driven back into the mountains and Unificus eventually became the thriving city it was prior to the goblin invasion; however, since then the kingdom maintained its military in case goblins ever decided to strike again.  Now Prince Capsol commands the Military of the Republic and resides behind the Castle's tall walls.

Shishra: Shishra has been the main port since before the goblin's ever thought about invading Unificus.  Safe on its high coast, Shishra has a diverse population of adventurers, tradesmen, and sailors.  Zenith is a resident of Shishra and since King Ursa died, he has become Lord over Shishra, spreading the word that anyone can come to Shishra to learn of his powers and join him in establishing a new "free" government.

Fendmoore:  Fendmoore has remained virtually untouched by the inland cities.  Isolated, it is a quiet town full of fishermen and families.  The factions haven't tainted the town, and despite increasing turmoil in the rest of the world, Fendmoore remains relatively quiet.

Darson:  Another quiet town, Darson finds solace in the middle of a forest outsiders fear.  Many adventurers come to Darson to stay while they scour the nearby trees in search of mystical beasts and hidden caves.  Darson's east wall was built to fend off the forest's beasts that would attack the city when no adventurers were nearby to protect it.  Now Darson tries to remain untouched by the near-faction-war, although some rumors are being spread about Zenith and his Freeseekers; many in the town find the promise of power alluring, especially living near such a dangerous forest.

Crossroads: Crossroads is a major trading post even after King Ursa died.  The factions all have some pull in the town, however, which leads to violence at night between the factions.  During the day, however, Crossroads remains a lively, friendly place, as if the factions set aside their differences to keep the city alive and in business.

Port Brenan:  Port Brenan and it's inhabitants have struggled in keeping up with Shishra's massive port.  When King Ursa died and the Princes seperated, the town immediately sided with Prince Capson, providing him with supplies while he provided the town with military support.  Any Freeseekers found in Port Brenan should fear for their life, as the inhabitants were already sour towards Shishra before the king died.  Now they have an excuse to act against Shishra.

Okalade: The people in this small town have always been hard workers.  They build boats for both Shishra and Port Brenan, and now that the factions have taken over those towns, Okalade is struggling to continue making ships.  Zenith doesn't want Okalade making ships for Prince Capsol, and currently Zenith has Freeseekers that regularly "check in" with Okalade to make sure they aren't associating with anyone from Port Brenan or other factions.

Yisra:  Yisra is somewhat isolated from the near-war.  It's a small town and it's people have always enjoyed the serenity they've found away from the big cities.  It's inhabitants hunt the wild game nearby, and any supplies they get from Yimne, although most of the time the citizens of Yisra keep to themselves and very seldom leave.  Occasionally though an adventurer has been born in Yisra, a few even braved the mountains to the north and are rumored to still be up there somewhere.

Yimne:  The people of Yimne get a lot of support from Unificus as Yimne has been a resort of sorts for people in Unificus.  Now the people in Yimne tend to side with Prince Wensil and long for peace again.  Still, they maintain their paradise and try to live life like they did before King Ursa died, welcoming visitors with open arms.

The Factions
Prince Wensil's Royalists: The Royalists hold onto the idea that the Kingdom is not crumbling, and ignore the fact that something has just shook the world out of place.  They believe that if Prince Wensil, the heir to the throne by eldest birthright, takes the throne, order will be restored and peace will naturally continue.  They aim to obtain Prince Wensil's succession to the throne by peaceful, diplomatic means, however, they see anyone that disagrees as a menace and will pull strings to make those people disappear.

Prince Capsol's Republic:  Prince Capsol and his followers don't ignore the fact that the kingdom is struggling.  The believe they have to take the kingdom back and put Prince Capsol on the throne to restore order.  While not directly approving of war, they are taking a more militaristic approach to the Kingdom's turmoil and are building a ready army to combat opposing forces if neccessary.

Zenith's Freeseekers:  Zenith is a powerful manipulator and believes that due to his incredible power, he should have control over the kingdom.  He realizes that he needs more followers to support him, however, and he aims to gain followers by offering them power and a place in his kingdom.  Although he's not ready to seize control of the throne currently, he and his followers are quickly becoming a force to be noticed.

Additional Background
The Brotherhood of Blood: This elite order of assassins has remained in the shadows for 149 years, never drawing too much attention to the Kingdom, while effectively becoming wealthy beyond its dreams as an organization.  The Brotherhood is not evil, nor is it good; it simply seeks monetary gains through "contracts" with wealthy patrons.  Not much is known about the people pulling the strings in the Brotherhood, in fact, most assume the Brotherhood itself is just a rumor.  However, some people with enough money can seek the services the Brotherhood has to offer.  Initiation into the Brotherhood is rare, as no one has found a way to find where these silent killers reside.  But they have eyes everywhere and watch potential assassins from the shadows.

Dylon's Drifters:  People seeking a job as a mercenary (unless self-contracted), go through Dylon Q. (the man for you!).  His father started an organized "business" where mercenaries could come and find work.  Whether it be guarding a farmhouse from the wolves that keep killing the chickens, or providing a squad of ruthless killers for the war, Dylon Q. is the man for you!

Thieves Guild:  Thieves Guild? *Laughs*  What's that?  There is no Thieves Guild.  *Looks around* Or is there?  I mean, I won't tell you.  Yeah, there is no Thieves Guild.  Why?  Are you a thief?  I might have a job for you...  I mean, no.  We never had this conversation.  *vanishes into the shadows*


Rosa
Aside from the initial storyline, Rosa is somewhat of a mystery and her background is not known to the public.  She is, however, vital to the storyline, and the players will interact with her, unknowingly at first, but her (and Niribu's) actions will be felt throughout the entire planet.

Character creation
Name: Create a name for your character
Sex: Male/female
Age: Define your character's age (Knowing humans age similarly to the way we age)
Faction: Possible factions include the side of Prince Wensil, the older of the brothers; the side of Prince Capsol, the younger of the brothers; or the side the aspiring manipulator, Zenith.  No one can simply claim "Neutral."
Elemental Efficiency: Choose 1; Earth, Wind, Water, Fire
Unique Efficiency: Choose a unique expertise of manipulation that you and only you lay claim to.  This will have to be verified by me, but is very open to creativity.  Give a couple sentences describing it.

Initial Stats: You have 10 points to spend on your initial stats.
-Strength: Determines your physical strength.  Weight you can carry, power you strike with, etc.
-Endurance: Determines how much you can withstand.  "HP" if you will, distance you can run, etc.
-Dexterity: Determines your finesse.  Detailed tasks, such as lock picking, or skills with items/weapons.
-Intelligence: Determines how smart you are.  Your ability to effectively solve problems, the weight you have on convincing other people that you're right, effectiveness of manipulation, etc.
-Willpower: Determines your ability to push yourself.  Amount of mana, potential to learn new manipulations, etc.
-Luck: Determines your luck.  Just like every other game, no one REALLY knows what luck does.
Background Info: Give some background information about your character and any unique personality traits he/she may have.
Color: Choose 1: Green, Red, Blue, Yellow
Starting Location: Choose a city to start in.  You can't choose a city owned by an enemy faction.

Features of Darkness Becomes
Day-to-day Update:  As soon as I come inside from smoking hookah I'll create a map of the world so you can decide where you character starts out and can decide how your character moves around and such.
-I'll notify the players when each day starts and post a new map where all the players are and what events are happening where along with common knowledge of Heroes or Villains on the map
-With the daily update I'll inform players of the conclusion of the previous day, whether or not HP/Mana is restored, etc.
-Daily/Major Events will be updated here.

Action points: Players will have action points assigned to their characters, action points will deteriorate as the player moves his character and interacts with the world.
-The storyteller will notify the player during the day when an action point is used up.  For instance, if the player is sitting reading a book, the storyteller might grant the player new knowledge (of a skill or ability or secret information via message to the player).
-Action points will increase due to circumstances in game, characters' levels, etc.
-If you post a reply after your action points are depleted for that day you're post will be notified to a moderator and most likely be deleted.
-Editing posts will have to be done in such a way that the original content is not obstructed, this will have to be done with a sense of honesty, although if someone abuses editing posts (by adding actions to a character or something of the sort) you might be flagged and not be able to edit posts without getting your post deleted.  I don't do this to make it un-fun, just to make it fair.

HP/Mana: Characters will have set HP/Mana and I as the storyteller will keep track of each player's HP and Mana.  Most of the time, if a character rests at the end of the day, HP and Mana will be partially or totally restored for the next day.  By using HP/Mana, I hope to allow a better strategic feel to battle (with NPCs/monsters/other players).

Enemy database: More than likely when a player comes across an enemy I'll create a database that'll be posted in here and updated as the player encounters new enemies.  Information will be approximate and incomplete, as enemies are always full of suprises.  However, general information such as enemy skills, HP, Mana, equipment, and loot will be pretty standard.  New enemies can (and will) suprise players.

Leveling: Characters will have levels, each one starting at 1 (unless extenuating circumstances call for else).
-Character levels will be visible to everyone
-When a character levels up he/she will be able to increase stats, as well as learn new skills.
-When a character levels up, private information will be messaged to that player.
-Leveling up will be done by me, and will occur overnight.

Skills: Each character will begin with two skills.  Whether they be a magic spell or an attack, each skill will have its pros/cons, mana requirements, and other parameters.
-I will assign skills to characters based on their actions/elemental and unique efficiencies at level up and creation.
-I will have unique skills to the character, along with some general skills that can be learned through leveling up/events

Be yourself: You should act however you want your character to act.  If one player wants his character to be a bloodthirsty barbarian, he will level up accordingly, based on his actions.  However, if a player wants to be a shy, bookworm that stays away from battle, he will still gain levels.  Leveling, along with other aspects, will not be based solely on whether or not your character went into the woods and killed wolves all day long (although if you do go kill wolves all day long, you're bound to gain experience).

Events/enemies/interactions:  You can move your character around and interact with existing environment.  However, you can't just walk into the woods and magically find a magical leprechaun, kill it and steal its pot of gold.  Having said that, if you're wandering through the woods, I won't leave you high and dry, I'll be sure to keep things interesting by adding things to interact with.  For example:

Player:
Hex is wandering through the woods, finds himself hungry, so he sits down and eats the berries he previously collected.  He looks around, gripping his blade tight; he can't overcome the feeling that he's being watched.

Storyteller (ME!):
A wolf glares at Hex, quietly stalking him from behind the brush.  Hex's perception allows him to be aware of the wolf before the wolf has a chance to attack Hex unaware.  What does Hex do?

Player: Hex sees the wolf, knowing the wolf would kick his level 1 ass, Hex throws a Vial of Smoke at the brush where the wolf is and runs away.

Storyteller:
The wolf was dazed by the smoke, and stopped stalking Hex.  Hex is now fatigued, but his endurance increased.

States: The story will have a list of states that affect players.  For instance, if the player is fatigued, he can no longer travel, but fatigue can be "healed" via resting/items/etc.

My Sample Submission
Name: Hex
Sex: Male
Age: 21
Faction: Prince Wensil
Elemental Efficiency: Earth
Unique Efficiency: Space.  Manipulation of space.  I am learning to be able to bend space to my will.  Initially I can fold it to teleport, but am still limited to how far I can fold space and just what I can send through it.
Profession: Alchemist.
Initial Stats:
Strength:0
Endurance:1
Dexterity:0
Intelligence:3
Willpower:5
Luck:1
Background Info: Hex is rather apathetic.  He's not specifically good at anything, but he does seem to pick things up quickly.  He's weaker and slower than most, and his mind tends to wander a lot.  Nevertheless, he does keep things interesting and is constantly figuring out new ways around old obstacles.
Color: Green
Starting Location: Okalade

A Few Final Notes
Once you post your submission I will send a message to you with private specifics of your character, such as your initial skills based on your efficiencies and profession, along with any unique traits you may or may not have.  Once I give you this information, you just need to hold on to it and add to it as you progress through the game and level up.  You can let other people know your information, just keep in mind, there are 3 factions and not everyone has to be a friend in this game.

I will not have a specific character in the game, instead I will update the story daily based on what characters are present and how they fit in.  I will give a scenario with each update that will allow each character to make decisions as to what needs to be done.  More storyline will be posted as the game goes along, but right now these are the points you need to be aware of.

-The three factions are Prince Wensil's Royalists; Prince Capsol's Republic; and Zenith's Freeseekers.

-Rosa is wandering the land with Niribu (Darkness Incarnate) festering inside her.  Eventually circumstance will lead to the release of Niribu (and death of Rosa).  "Rosa" will appear in the game, but not by her name, as to prevent actions being taken hastily based on knowledge of Niribu residing in her.

-There is one land mass, with the Kingdom Unificus the center.  Outlying regions can be defined in background information, but everything is relatively close and the whole planet is affected by the crumbling Kingdom

-Skills will be defined once profiles are submitted, as will HP, and Mana.

-Although there will be an update every day, depending on player activity, there will be "Instances" where a more direct interactivity takes place.

-Your destiny is up to you.  Whether it's to get caught up in the struggle, or realize a change in the world, you must decide for yourself what path you walk.

Good deal.  You still need to pick one of the four colors.

Let me expand on this though.

The four Primaries in the game are the Reds, the Blues, the Yellows, and the Greens, and the color you select will affect how certain aspects of the game affect you.

More to come on this when the story begins.

Also, in a bit I'll have a map up and I'll let you decide where you begin your journey.

Post by: Aqua on March 08, 2010, 04:06:30 pm
Could you explain the brothers and the factions more?
I wanna know exactly for what I'm signing up XP

Also... you have no background info on Rosa... what's so special about her that the Darkness overtook her.

Edit:
Does water manipulation also include thermokinesis: changing the states of water?
Title: Re: Darkness Becomes. Intro/Submissions
Post by: (Hexamin) on March 08, 2010, 04:15:10 pm
The manipulation of elements will start off relatively unharnessed, but as you level and use your manipulation (through whatever means, battles, helping people, hurting people, etc.) you will become more skilled in manipulation.  The primary usage of manipulation will be through the skills I assign you, so you won't be able to just go around parting the waters of the Red Sea all day long.  In regards to your question of thermokinesis, this will be a possibility, especially if your character actively strives to master it.  It won't be fully effective until you have a skill that allows you to use it, but, if your character spends all day trying to master it, there's a good chance that next time you level (or just spontaneously) you will achieve thermokinesis.  Manipulation is really going to be limited only by having a skill assigned to it, but those skills will only be limited by your imagination.  Creativity in this game will be a good thing.  If you create some bogus utilization of your manipulation skills, you might find yourself with a very unique arsenal at your disposal.

I'll add some background information to the factions, just check the Intro post in a little bit.

Alright, here's my character:

Name: Chris (Short for Christine)
Sex: Yes- I mean... Female
Age: 15
Faction: Slightly Complicated. She outwardly supports the Royalists, but actually believes that Prince Wensil's action will destroy the kingdom. However, as this would be good for business, that is what she appears to support to those who ask. Secretly, however, she believes that victory by Prince Capsol's faction would be best for the kingdom. Torn between morals and money, she isn't sure which she truly wants to win.
Elemental Efficiency: Wind
Unique Efficiency: Just an idea; feel free to reject it and I'll come up with something else. Given a moment to detect the state of the air in a room, she can manipulate the state of her body to become not quite invisible, but much harder to see.
Profession: Thief
Initial Stats:
Strength:0
Endurance:0
Dexterity:5
Intelligence:2
Willpower:1
Luck:2
Background Info: Chris never knew her parents. She was raised at an orphanage in a large city until she escaped and became a girl of the streets. Her ability allowed her become a master thief, especially considering the natural ability she had due to her nimble fingers and small frame. She's a troublemaker, and has a great sense of humor, but sometimes it gets out of hand and people get hurt. Chris isn't naturally a bad person, but growing up in such a situation has caused the barrier between right and wrong to be slightly blurred. Coupled with her love of valuable objects, this might lead some to think of her as evil, but at heart, she's a good person.
Color: Blue
Starting Location: Unificus

I kinda threw this together really fast, so I'll probably come back and add more information and revise stuff later.
EDIT: Added starting location.

Making my character now...
Hope you don't mind me taking a character from my own storyline and just modding her to fit into this. XP

But... I gotta wait for the map ;___;
Title: Re: Darkness Becomes. Intro/Submissions
Post by: (Hexamin) on March 08, 2010, 07:13:01 pm
The map is up.  It's kinda rough, but it gives you something to go off of for now.

Looks like we might be able to start this sooner than later.  1 more and we'll be good to go, although I might wait a couple more hours to see if anyone else wants to be there for the beginning of it all.

If you could update your starting location that would be great.

Cities are posted and have some background info, but keep in mind, prior to the king dying and the Darkness coming to the planet, the world was relatively peaceful and untainted.

Elemental Efficiency: Wind (No Rose I am not copying, I am a great lover of wind is all)
Unique Efficiency: Mystic Eyes of Perceiving Winds - The power to see the currents of the winds and predict their movements.

Background Info: Pyrrhus was an ordinary thief, but due to offers and his skill with weapons, he joined a brigade of mercenaries to make more money.

Ok here is my character...

Name: Aseras
Sex: Male
Age: 23
Faction: Prince Capsol
Elemental Efficiency: Wind
Unique Efficiency: It goes along with his element, or psychic, it doesn't matter haha. Anyway, Aseras is able to summon up blades and control them without having to touch them. The swords come from an image in his head, and he can make them anything he would like. A weak part to this awesome power is that it puts a lot of strain on his head because of him having to keep the image of the weapons in his head, so he will pass out from exhaustion if he uses it for long.
Profession: Assassin  
Initial Stats:  
-Strength: 1
-Endurance: 3
-Dexterity: 2
-Intelligence: 0
-Willpower: 3
-Luck: 1
Background Information: When Aseras was a young child, his parents were both a part of the military that was assembled to drive back the attacking goblins, both were killed, but neither of their bodies were recovered. Aseras took a vow to find out what happened to his parents' bodies. As a present to himself on his birthdays, he would go into the mountains and kill anything he saw, until his vision was so blurry from exhaustion. On his 18th birthday, he was overwhelmed by monsters, and barely survived with two broken limbs, Aseras fainted from the pain. He later awoke to a women hurched over him, she introduced herself as Alice. She had been tending to his wounds for a few days, and somehow he was already fully recovered. Confused, Aseras asked her how she found him, and why she helped him, to his astonishment, he found the women was his mother, and had been living in the mountains ever since she left with her husband and never returned. Aseras stayed with her, and she taught him the ways of silent steps, and swift movements. Then, disaster struck. Aseras awoke one morning to his mother torn to pieces, her blood soaking him. He was alone again, and for the first time in his life, he didn't care. He didn't care what happened to him or anyone else. He went back into the city and began drinking, heavily, and without rest. One thing led to the next, and he accidentally killed a man in a bar fight. He had no other choice but to run away and take up a life of crime. After a few months, he stumbled upon a brotherhood of killers. He decided to join them, as they provided food, and living arrangements. However in return, he had to take on 'assignments', and kill anyone that was in his way. He is now a respected member of the Brotherhood of Blood, and is a well-trained assassin.
Color: Yellow

Name: Seles Naiad

Sex: Female

Age: 17

Faction: Prince Caspol's Republic

Elemental Efficiency: Water

Unique Efficiency: Sound Wave Manipulation
Seles is a skilled player of the Guqin.
Picture of Guqin: ShowHide
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Jiu_Xiao_Huan_Pei.jpg)

Seles is able to change various traits of a sound wave such as amplitude and frequency.
Thus, she can change the way something sounds and use the power to trick and confuse people.
Combined with her water manipulation, she can cause all sorts of movements of water.

Profession: Songstress/Fisher

Initial Stats:
-Strength: 0
-Endurance: 1
-Dexterity: 2
-Intelligence: 2
-Willpower: 3
-Luck: 2

Background Info:
   Seles was born into an average fishing family in Fendmoore.  Her family caught roughly the same amount of fish as every other small family in the city and never stood out to be special.
   Her father would always man the ship and do the catching while her mother would sing to keep him company.  When Seles was born, the two lovers brought her along on the boat even though she was just a baby.  The routine was still the same except that her mother would carry an extra, special something in her arms instead of just the sweater she had always brought for her husband.  Craddling Seles in her arms, she would sing soothing lullabies to her tender baby.  The fishing would continue as normal.
   The first few trips, Seles would just fall asleep in her mother's arms, but as the months drew on, she started to mimic her mother's singing with her tiny voice.  The first day that she had done so, her parents were delighted that their baby was able to copy what she heard.  Something strage happened though:  fish just seemed to amass towards the source of the sound, and Seles' father caught more fish that day than he had in two weeks combined.  Both parents thought that they were just having a lucky day.
   The fishing trips continued along with the singing lessons, and every day, Seles got better and better at singing as the family brought in more and more fish.  The family made the connection and started to gain prestige within the community.
   As Seles was a young child, she was well-known in the city for being a beautiful singer at such a young age.  She picked up the Guqin, and after many years of training under a master, she was skilled enough to be able to perform at various events in the city.  People from all over flooded to the tavern in which she stayed to watch and hear her delicate strokes and notes.
   Despite the busy performance schedule, Seles never stopped fishing with her parents, as she was their good luck charm.

Age: 19
Faction: Capsol

Alright folks, we've got 6 people signed up right now, so as soon as I get a chance I'll send everyone their specifics and start the thread.  We'll begin on Day 1 and it'll remain Day 1 until I advance it to the next day.  If you haven't chosen a starting location, do so before I post the story thread or else I'll place you somewhere myself.

@Vael: still need your starting location.

@Chris: You're good to go.

@Pyrrhus: I'm setting your primary profession as mercenary.  What you do in your spare time (such as burgling people) is up to you. ^_^

@Aseras: This Brotherhood of Blood will be added to the introduction of the story, and although your background info was a bit misconstrued in regards to the timeline of the planet (the goblin invasion was well over 100 years ago), we'll run with it.  Goblins can still come out of the mountains and kill shit after all.

@Seles: If you give me a last name to your family I'll add them into the background information of Fendmoore

@Reven: Thank you for choosing strength and endurance!  You're the first one to create a more character actually capable of some heavy lifting, lol.

Everyone, stay tuned for the beginning.

Oh, and while I can spend a lot of time managing this, there will be periods of time when I cannot be at my computer.  I am in Iraq so there is some work involved in that, but... I usually only get 3-6 hours of sleep, which means lots of down time for me to keep up with this.

ALSO.  I'll be posting a map with character location at the start of each day.  If you want a custom 48x48 Image to mark your character, post it here and update it in your character's profile, otherwise I'll just mark you with the first few letters of your name or something lame like that.

ALSO ALSO.  I sent everyone their initial skills.  They aren't named and are more or less vague as they moreso serve as guidelines for your character's abilities.  If you want to take what your character can do and be creative, you could probably do a lot more with those abilities than you'd initially realize.

Name: Kiba
Sex: Male
Age: 22
Faction: Prince Capsol
Elemental Efficiency: Wind
Unique Efficiency: Oxygen manipulation; Kiba can control the Oxygen particles in the air and water around him, even when fused with other elements, and can use this to change air currents and wind speed, as well as changing peoples breathing difficulty. Using this power he can nudge weapons with the air around them, speed himself up using the wind behind him, or eventually suffocate a person. If Kiba concentrates, he can also manipulate the oxygen in the bloodstream, enabling him possible temporary control over a persons body. Eventually the control of Oxygen may be used to create explosives out of ordinary elements. This skill uses a form of inner chi, and requires some concentration.
Profession: Paladin
Initial Stats:
-Strength: 2
-Endurance: 2
-Dexterity: 1
-Intelligence: 2
-Willpower: 2
-Luck: 1
Background Info: Kiba was brought up in the town around Castle Terna, and was tought in the ways of the Paladins. He stands for anything good and right, and abhors evil. He is a man of many talents, and excels in anything he puts his mind to. Due to the ways of the healer that he was taught as part of his Paladin training, he can manipulate Oxygen, the element of life, in many ways. Recently he has noticed a shift in the winds and wishes to know what is causing it.
Color: Blues
Starting Location: Castle Terna


Theres mine ^_^
Let me know if Oxygen Manipulation is allowed or not... Personally I think its awesome :D

Well, calling fire out of the nowhere is somehow my special ability, so I'll assume that if you haven't got it as your ability, you'll have to settle for water that's already present.
You might call water from deep inside the earth, I think.

Day 2 will start before I go to sleep.  I just got back from playin' army and its already 1 a.m. here, I'll probably allow for a couple more posts on Day 1, but then post Day 2 and go to sleep.  Tomorrow I shouldn't have anything going on though, so I'll be keeping up with it a little more actively than today as well as adding a day by day database thread that has a list of characters/enemies/and events by day they were introduced.

In regards to water manipulation, yeah, it requires water, but like it was suggested, manipulation will really only be limited by your imagination.

Truthfully, I think days in the game should last longer than one real life day...
It gets kinda hard to fit a day's worth of RP into a few hours, especially with real life stuff like school, homework, work, eating, sleeping, etc.

My opinion~


Edit:
What image program do you use?
Title: Re: ~Darkness Becomes~ INTRO/CHARACTER SUBMISSIONS
Post by: (Hexamin) on March 10, 2010, 02:56:48 pm
MS Paint and Photoshop 7.0, but I'm a photoshop noob.

Depending on the content of the day, the days may stretch out for more than one real life day.  These first couple days are just getting things rollin'.  It will really depend on how much feedback I'm getting from the players that day.

Like Kiba has already kinda bedded down for the night studying his crazy oxygen manipulation techniques, butttt the rest of the day is still open to storyline for anyone who wants to add it.

Although if you plan on traveling from Fendmoore to Port Brenan in one day, it aint happenin'.  
Spoiler: ShowHide
Unless you come by some nifty teleportation ability o.O
 Anyway, I do appreciate the feedback and will adjust accordingly!  Now let's see what Seles does today already!  :-P

Edit 1: In fact, if it works out, I'll probably be waiting until each active player has somehow concluded their day, i.e. sleep, travelling, etc.

WHICH REMINDS ME (editeditedit)

You should start a seperate thread with the playervplayer battles in, then only post them after a winner has been decided? You judge the moves chances of hitting and stuff if you get me, like if I tried to use wind manip and you judge wether it works or not kinda thing?
Title: Re: ~Darkness Becomes~ INTRO/CHARACTER SUBMISSIONS
Post by: (Hexamin) on March 10, 2010, 04:33:21 pm
I'd actually contemplated that and it's a good idea.

And no you won't be serving under Pyrrhus, the regular army is different than the Order of Paladins.  You two will end up working together more than likely though, provided you both are cooperative with your authorities.  The Paladins might be directed by the officers of the military, but more in a... we need you to go do something that requires less soldiers and more skill, sort of way.  (No doubt Pyrrhus might want to join in those endeavors).  It should be interesting.

Sex: Male
Age: Unknown (Aprox 300)
Faction: Prince Capsol
Elemental Efficiency: Fire
Unique Efficiency: Wraith Walk- The ability to instantly transport into another dimension close to our own, during Wraith Walk Mana is drained as well as stamina, Bysir can attack in Wraith Walk and does a High amount of damage coupled with elemental effects, but the attack weakens Bysir and leaves Him vulnerable.(Adjust specifics of this to fit for you Hex. Or say FU and redesign, don't really care I'm in more for story than anything else.)
Profession: Paladin/Assassin (That work? If not just decide which of the two for me :D)
Initial Stats: You have 10 points to spend on your initial stats.
-Strength: 1
-Endurance: 1
-Dexterity: 3
-Intelligence:1
-Willpower: 1
-Luck: 3
Background Info: Bysir has been cursed with immortality, not to say that He cannot die, just that He cannot die from old age or 'natural causes.' He will bleed to death just as sure as any man.

After a century spent in wandering, Bysir Heads to Unificus to exact His revenge over family blood spilled.

Hmmm... at first seeing the whole 300 years old bit, I was a little reluctant to allow this, considering I didn't offer this initially, but then again, each character has to be unique somehow.  Instead of a Paladin/Assassin, you're part of the Dark Circle, a group of paladins who turned from their prayers to the gods and used their skills to kill mercilessly instead.  The Darkness had seen this blatant opposition to the Spectrum and decided to "bless" these paladins with eternal youth, the cost was grave;however, as the few members of the Dark Circle would not ever make contact with the gods again.  Which means... you don't have a color.  So...

Edit a couple things.
1: Change your profession to just assassin, as you're not a paladin anymore.
2: Set an age, if nothing else, set how many years it's been since you received eternal youth from the Darkness.
3: Put (none) for your color.

I think we can roll with this, although there has to be some explanation for why a 300 year old guy's skills are comparable to those of the 7 other adventurers.... but maybe that'll work itself out along the way.

Your character is kinda open to possibilities, if you have a direction you want to spin her I suggest you make it clear in thoughts, or just blatantly tell me here, haha.  Otherwise destiny will seek her out, very soon... maybe even tomorrow.... probably tomorrow...

:ninja:

Wow well that sounds like a threat XD
To be fair, Hex will end up saving one of us if the other ones about to kill him :D

I wouldn't be threatened if I were you, Hex gave me a pretty sinister idea which involves the both of us living without Hex's interdiction. Like I said, I've got something brewing  :ninja:

oxygen control, you made a comment about "blocking an accurate blade" or something close to that. I peed a little.

LMAO i believe i said NUDGING :D
I can use the oxygen in the air to push a blade off target, so it st least misses the target, and at most misses the me XD
Basically air manip

this is quite true.  I'm actually very curious to see how you two interact (i think it might be more eventful than the interactions of you and pyrrhus, haha, no offense dio :P)

By the way... DoctorEW... Bysir if you will... is kinda in my unit, heard of my game, said he was gonna join the forums to make fun of it, then got sucked in.  In case you were wondering why we had similar IPs.  And don't worry, just cause I know him doesn't mean he gets special treatment (aside from introducing the Dark Circle into the game, an idea I'm now running with).  In fact, just earlier he had his ass nearly handed to him on a silver platter by an old dude.  Granted... Bysir is quite old himself, which just leads to him having no excuse (other than the old guy he was confronted by was an elite anti-Dark Paladin Watchman...) as to why he couldn't handle him in the first place.  Oh wait, thats right, its only day 3, of course you're not going to be able to go around killing anything you want just yet (aside from that poor innkeeper... meh! what are minor NPCs good for if not slaughtering anyways)

Well being completely without elemental prowess, I figured tangling with a guy that could nudge my blade off target, even possibly into my own leg, would be a real pain. The hamster started to run and wheels began to turn :) I'm headed to bed, I guess we will just have to play it by ear tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I wanted to trash the game on first notice, just to get under Hex's skin. But once I read the story and the character's interaction within, I realized he might be on to something so I thought what the hell and dove in. I had this devilish little thought about Hex being easy on me (Being his comrade in arms and all) But then He took away my color and elemental anything because I'm 342ish. Oh, and then He tried to kill me with some broken down cop. So thanks Hexy boy, thanks for addicting me to a new drug and being the kind of dealer that doesn't shell out when his junkies could die from the fix :D

Lol, awesome Dr.EW.  So you might want to know that right now i'm on the teetering edge of sleep and actually feel exactly the way i did in a recurring nightmare i used to have as a child.  i'm extremely distant, almost as if i'm watching myself type from someone else's eyes, or something else's eyes within me.  it's slightly creepy.  in the dream there was always a large powerful man keeping me and this girl i would always give a flower to apart.  i feel like that large man right now... what if he was me all along... this is slightly creepy, i dont understand how i'm being able to convey this sensation while still experiencing it... i'm hardly blinking and my body is going numb.... i effectively can't feel my feet.  i think i should probably snap out of this trance.

woah.

Anee Mitesif, too much hookah brosef. If I were you I would visualize third eye, motionless state and grok. Much to be learned of this experience.

It was quite weird.  And no, if hookah did indeed incite this incident, I will continue doing what I do in hopes to better grok.

I will now grok for roughly 2 hours with eyes closed and senses shut.

People can still join DB!  In fact, if you want to take up the position of a Templar of the mountainmen and help destroy the darkness, just PM me and I'll give you some background info on the Templars and get you started right!

Bysir turned into pure darkness and then reassembled himself as kiba's arm. With sweet tattoos and over 9000 muscles.

A sure sign that the game is over. It's a shame these always die so quickly, though; I think they're a lot of fun.

Excellent. I'm out of school, so I have plenty of free time to mess around, which always brightens my mood. Song of Destruction is coming along surprisingly well, considering that it's a community project, and writing for it is a lot of fun. And now you're back, which is great in and of itself.
