-​​What we Know, Azcar Vorteth

 

 

<======]~o  <> <>  o~[======>

 

After quite some time, I have decided to start my own role play.  If you want to join, PM me your character description.  You may start with only one character, but you can add more as the RP progresses.

 

 

<======]~o  <> <>  o~[======>

 

Rules

1: Be creative.  I won't accept characters who are drab and normal.  Consequently, I will also not accept characters who are overly outrageous or overpowered.

2: Act rationally.  For example, don't just shake off fatal strikes and being blown to smithereens.  Also, try to avoid acting overly fearless.

3: No random crazy stuff.  When a roleplay is constant combat and insanity, people find trying to join or rejoin difficult. 

4: Balance combat with story.  In between each fight, 10 pages must pass before another fight may occur.  Bending or even breaking this rule is okay, just so long that the entire thing isn't combat.

The Story

 

Shadowfall

Long before the Islands (Referred to the Shades as "The Prison") was created, a shade named Shadowfall was created.  While incredibly powerful on his own, Shadowfall had the capability of molding his form into a creature stronger than any single thing in existence.  He saw the human race as a bunch of weak, sinful parasites, and swore to destroy them, taking on the title "The Executioner of the Gods".  He planned to use his massively powerful second form to complete this aim, but there was a catch: he could never hold enough power at one time to finish the transformation.

 

So, the shade designed the Spire, a battery of sorts that Shadowfall could charge with his power, stabilized by the flesh and blood of living creatures.  Once the Spire reached full capacity, he drained it of energy and transformed.  He wreaked havoc for almost half a month, destroying armies and cities with ease.  Finally, a group of spirits and a rag-tag group of Warriors (Mortals blessed with unique powers by the Gods) devised a way to stop Shadowfall; by trapping him in a rift between worlds.  They succeeded in this aim, imprisoning the shade in what would become the Islands.

 

Creation

Spoiler

The Spirits who had aided in Shadowfall's defeat decided to guard him within the new dimension, to ensure he would never escape again.  A couple of the Warriors decided to join them.  However, after hundreds of years of sitting there, they got bored, basically.  Just for fun, they decided to capture a single person, and give them the power to mold the dimension to their will.  Deciding upon a victim, a gullible, failing magician who craved power, they sent a book into the mortal realm that would bring him into the dimension.

 

The man created a vast world around Shadowfall's prison, filling it with marvelous creatures from his wildest dreams.  After a long time of waiting, he too became bored, and so lured people into the Islands, with the intent of pitting them against the world he had created.  The Warriors were banished here as well, despite their roles in Shadowfall's defeat.  While They grew ignorant and bloated, these fallen heroes saw what they did not; Shadowfall was regaining his power.  Azcar Vorteth knew of this, and so influenced Maxwell to trap a group of exceptionally powerful warriors.  These are the roleplayer's characters.

 

The Roleplay

Spoiler

The group woke up on the Islands, apart from eachother and seemingly alone.  After finding and following a series of clues, they meet Azcar Vorteth.  After completing some tasks for him, he tells them about Shadowfall, whom they must find and kill.  They then head to Hammerfall Canyon to meet some friends of his, who can help find the shade.  

 

Upon reaching the canyon, they meet Wilson P. Higgsburry, a scientist who is building a portal to Their dimension.  However, he has lost an important piece deep underground. The group heads into the caves, and finds the portal piece.  Upon entering the dimension, the group talks with Them and offers them 3 ancient artifacts.  They give the demons two of these in exchange for Shadowfall's location.  They tell the group that he is trapped deep underground, in the ruins.

 

They find Shadowfall's tomb, and fight the demon lord, who is hanging on a wall. They impale him with his old sword, but he sends it flying back at Azcar, killing him and trapping his soul.  Shadowfall then breaks free and warps away, teleporting the group back to Azcar's home.

 

The group heads back to Wilson's place, where Jakob (my character) devises a plan to find Shadowfall.  He plans to trap a cage, who can tell them.  He builds a cage out of a fiery material while the group gets souls to lure the demon.  They then meets Viti-Mortos, a powerful shade, and trap him.  He tells them that Shadowfall has gone to Oranihil, the Edge of Nothing.  He has locked himself in with a Shadow Seal, which can only be broken by two beacons of light.  He and the group then head to the first beacon's temple. 

 

After securing the beacon, they detour to a small town and learn the location of the second.  Upon reaching the temple, however, they are trapped by Shadowfall, who kills everyone in a public execution.  When the group awakens, they find they are imprisoned within the shade's Soul Trap, and that their powers have been compromised.  They find Azcar, who informs them that the only way out is guarded by the Warden, a nigh-unstoppable skeletal demon.  Against all odds, the group makes their way to the Citadel, a massive structure in which the Warden dwells.  Along the way, Jakob is corrupted and twisted into the Forgotten, who hunts the group.

 

The group makes their way to the top of the Citadel, after murdering a hideous tentacle creature called the Mother.  The Warden nearly kills them, but Jakob intervenes, battling the demon and destroying the Citadel.  The group escapes, but Jakob stays behind to ensure the Warden's demise and is presumably killed.  After returning to the point where they died, the group gets a lead and heads to Taggard Estates, in an attempt to steal the real Second Beacon.  Thus bringing us to where we are now...

Name: JackGender: MaleSpecies: Human (Formerly), Plant Hybrid (Currently)Appearance: A central Lureplant bulb with large leaves acting as cloak. Two vines on his "neck" that have small eye plants which he uses to see. Beneath his cloak, is a tangle of roots and vines which he can use as limbs.Backstory: Jack was a biologist obsessed with finding a man eating plant. Maxwell appeared one day with a lazy explorer staff which he claimed would help him find it. Using it almost instantly, Jack was teleported into a Lureplant Maxwell had planted nearby.

Name: ShardGender: FemaleRace: HoundAppearance: http://tinypic.com/r/qrj8qt/5 (requested by me, drawn by @Willette)Backstory: Shard was once a human with a different name. One day, while in her house, she was promised special powers... something that would make her different from everyone else... something that would make her special. Little did she know that these special powers were not the powers she imagined... and she was sent to the world of Don't Starve as a hound, but she did get her special powers, wings. However, because of the fact that her wings are on fire, she must be careful around flammable objects such as trees and bushes.

 

(I presume I'm not accepted?)

I'll start the story.

 

​The​re are places in this wretched world

​Where even Maxwell dare not tread, 

Places where the darkness seethes

​And all living things have fled,

 

​For there is something evil here

​Something ancient, something foul,

​The darkness has but one name,

​ We call it Shadowfall.

​​

-​​What we Know, Azcar Vorteth

 

Begin.

(:D Thank you)

 

Shard flares her wings, not knowing that they are there. She opens her eyes slowly.

"Where am I?" she snorts. She looks down at her feet. "Wha-WHAT?" she barks. She sees only paws. As she gets up, she feels wings on her back and tries to look on her back, seeing only fire and feathers. Her eyes widen, and she falls down, hiding her eyes with her paws.
