Humanity is the greatest group of fools the world has ever known. You crawl in the mud and dub yourselves kings and queens of the dirt. You play at power as if you have any idea what the word means. You think your magic makes you strong? You think your kingdoms make you safe? We could sweep away your cities. We have. And yet you dare to send your emissaries to stop us, as if they have any chance of doing so. Know this, though: Evraius is our domain. This is our realm, and the moment they enter it they are ours. They cannot stop us. You cannot stop us. You shall watch them climb our mountain but as you wait in vain for them return it shall slowly become clear to you who the gods of this world truly are.

 

Introduction

 

Hey there folks, MDSVeritas here. I've been known for some of my previous original RPs The Experiment and Echoes and Ash. I like original ideas and RPs that push strong character involvement and development with a solid setting and plot to boot. As such I've developed a new RP concept in the way of Evraius. There's a plot intro below you can read, but for a quick explanation, Evraius is an original fantasy RP focusing on magic and godhood.For those familiar with my RPs it is my hope to return to more of the open-ended possibilities of The Experiment while still maintaining a sense of direction so that we can tell an awesome story together. You can read the plot intro and rules below and apply as soon as possible!

 

Plot

 

The world has always had magic since as early as any person can remember or any book will tell. Many cannot make great use of it, but some people are able to funnel their magic potential into elemental abilities, brute force, at-will-creation and much more. With these abilities as a baseline human civilization has flourished all over the world. The greatest example of this is in the largest kingdom in the world: Teragren, which has lived in relative peace for decades. Teragren takes up most of the primary continent that makes up the world, with the other two major forces being the smaller-but-tough Republic of Fenduril and the notorious and closed off Military State of Vedik. Through magic human civilization has flourished.

 

Magic is not the only thing that has existed for as long as one can remember, however.

 

Within the borders of Teragren, in a closed off no-entry zone is the singular mountain known as Evraius. Evraius is, from appearance, an absolutely normal mountain, with forests, rocky outcroppings, and sheer cliffs. The significance of Evraius is those who live there: the Kamyn. Meteor storms, floods, sudden destruction on the scale of an entire city; the Kamyn are capable of all of these, and they have done each at least once. Some call the Kamyn gods, but their power has only ever brought destruction. Villages, cities, and sometimes small countries can be wiped out easily by the Kamyn. Their actions come only every few years, but like clockwork they return. Some hail them, but every major country has stuck to neither acting against them nor commending them. What the Kamyn want, how they came about, and even just who they are is mostly unknown.

 

The Kamyn have only communicated to the human countries through their supposed leader: Adriev, who has appeared as a fully robed humanoid figure who proclaims the actions of the Kamyn just before they occur. It is speculated there are only 3 or 4 Kamyn total if that.

 

In the past year, though, one of the main cities of Teragren, was completely leveled with a meteor storm brought about by the Kamyn. Now for the first time humanity is acting out against them. Teragren's king has called out for any volunteer to step forward to try to bring an end to the Kamyn. Due to the uneasy terrain of Evraius no army can traverse it, so it must be adventurers who step forward to attempt the task. These people have assembled from various places and for various reasons, but to defeat to the Kamyn they must come to know each other, and trust each other through the trials ahead.

 

One problem though. Among the traveling party is suspected to be one or more assassins hired by the Military State of Vedik to steal the powers of the Kamyn and kill all who get in the way, including the other adventurers. The Kamyn have their own ideas too...

 

Summary: In a fantasy world of magic potential a group of volunteer soldiers climbs the mountain of the gods to topple the cruelest deities you've ever known.

 

Rules

 

--One character per person is recommended, two characters is the max. This is a story about character's interacting in a story that involves them all, so I'm trying to keep the interaction between players, not just between characters of one player.

--Romance is totally fine, just nothing above a PG-13 level.

--The potency of your magic power is up to your discretion but I have final say and powers needs to be balanced.

--No assuming any action for another player. Leave every attack you do open to whether it hits or not. On the same vein, do not make your character super strong, fast, or powerful that they cannot be beaten. Take some hits sometimes.

--You may only post three times in the RP between when I post. For example; if I make a post about what goes on, you may only post three times until I post again. This is to keep the RP at a fair pace for everyone.

--Try to keep out of character discussion in this thread so the RP thread won't get too bogged down.

 

 

 

Character Creation

 

Sound interesting? Good, because it gets better. More than just having all players against an NPC character I control, I wanted to get more player-to-player interaction, even in the story. So along with being one of the few who is set to climb Evraius, you can also choose two other options: to be one of the Kamyn or on of the Vedik spies. Here's some simple parameters for the three possibilities.

 

Kamyn

Slots open: 0 Left (With enough signups, I will add another Kamyn slot)

Role Description: You will work with me and other Kamyn players to impede the climbers through direct combat, environment challenges, or impossible choices. You will also get the top-secret info on who the Kamyn truly are and why they have their powers immediately as opposed to learning it through the RP like the others do.

 

Spy

Slots open: ???

Role Description: You will act as a climber until the time you feel it is right to make your move against the Kamyn and Climbers. If you want to be a spy, please put "Climber" as your role and message me, that way you won't be sure who to trust. I also won't reveal how many, if any, spies there are

 

Climber

Slots open: Infinite

Role Description: You are one of the volunteers who will attempt to climb Evraius and topple the Kamyn who have ruled the world with fear for too long. Your reasons are your own.

 

I've created on original fantasy world here, so feel free to get creative when designing your character's backstory, don't be afraid to think outside the box.

 

Template

 

Name:

 

Magic Ability: (Get creative and I'll work to keep it balanced. Feel free to step up the power level for a Kamyn)

 

Backstory: (Leave blank for a Kamyn)

 

Appearance:

 

Role: (Climber or Kamyn. Write Climber and message me to possibly be a Spy)

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well there you have it. I know this is by far by longest RP OP, but I wanted to try something unique, different, and interesting, and I felt like it could use some world building to do so. I'm hoping this RP will be an awesome story that I can help to tell with a lot of input and surprises from you guys! Hope to see you all soon!

Huh, there's a few light/dark based powers. This will be rather interesting and perhaps confusing

If it helps, thing of Cornelius's power like a Green Lantern Ring. It's manipulating light waves rather then manifesting Light (little "l" and big "L" intentional used in that sentence).

Hold up, I didn't threaten to beat you up! I mean maybe it was implied with my various mentions of skills like torture techniques and martial arts, but I didn't say it directly.

I think it was supposed to be a joke, and not so serious

Yuffie threatened to beat me up, so here I am.

 

Template

 

Name: Cornelius Bastion

 

Magic Ability: Hard Light Constructs. Can create solid objects and effects out of light. Nearly anything he can imagine he can create, but the more complex his construct, the more he has to concentrate on it. His constructs are tough, but not indestructible.

 

Backstory: The Bastion family was well known and respected for their contributions in magical and scientific theorem. Three years ago, the head of the house hold, Damian Bastion, declared that the family was going to conducted research and experiments on the Kamlyn themselves. No one knows how far they got in their research as the family resided in in city destroyed a year ago. A few months ago, the last remaining member of the respected family, Damian's son Cornelius, turned up, vowing to avenge his family and carry on their legacy.

Role: Climber

 

 

He is sooo cuteee

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mean seriously.

And that's why I replied with a joke...

Hold up, I didn't threaten to beat you up! I mean maybe it was implied with my various mentions of skills like torture techniques and martial arts, but I didn't say it directly.

*Thinks about it* that's true, I suppose. Still, I didn't want to take any chances, so here I am.

He is sooo cuteee

Awe the bunny is CUTE!*fangirls*

And that's why I replied with a joke...

Yuffie, what have I said before? Torture jokes are only funny when they involve whipped cream pies to the face as you make someone walk over hot coals to find a key to unlock their strait jacket which is slowly Cushing them.

Is it absolutely too late for Kamyn? If yes, no worries. I'll just put a character sheet here regardless, and if no, then no.

 

Name: Byle

 

Magic Ability: 

-As something of a blob, Byle is generally immune to most physical attacks, though not completely.

-Has control over disease, poison, and acid.

 

Backstory: (Leave blank for a Kamyn)

 

Appearance:  Byle is essentially a massive pile of assorted sludge, slime, garbage, and other things typically viewed as unpleasant, or that one would generally throw away. His shape tends to shift, given his rather amorphous nature, though for practical purposes he tends to form a pair of thick arms and a great, gaping mouth. The one prominent thing that always seems to be sticking out of the mass is a gigantic, grotesque pillar, with various discarded sharp weapons stuck to it, which Byle uses as a club. The pillar is reminiscent of an old, ancient kingdom, long since destroyed, and, as all things that have wasted away, it finds its way into Byle. 

 

Personality: Given his nature of being a gigantic pile of waste, Byle holds a natural resentment to all things typically considered "pretty," and triumphs the ugly and unwanted in its place. He holds a populist sentiment, believing that the mass of ugly, untalented, and forgotten people will always be superior to the select special few whom everyone views as art. He's not a typically nice thing, though he does hold a place in his heart for those whom are looked down upon. He also tends to be frightfully honest, which, on top of everthing else, has made him greatly unpopular among the other Kamyn.

Role: Kamyn

I'm sad to say but yeah. Unfortunatley for balancing issues I have to draw the line somewhere, and I've already exeeded my initial estimation for Kamyn numbers several times. There's only so many super-powered villain I can have flying around opposing the climbers until they A) Are made weaker to enact a bit of fairness which would eliminate their initial concept and kinda change the whole premise for them or B) They just utterly beat the climbers at every turn as there are just too many superpowered villains.

 

After I sent the group messages out to both spies and Kamyn last night that was pretty much the very last point I was willing to look into it, and even then the Kamyn were pretty maxed.

 

You're free to make a climber though!

 

----------------------------------

 

Just so you all know, I'm writing up the opening RP post right now. I want to reiterate the two-post rule. Make sure to read back through it if you're unfamiliar. For tonight I actually won't advance the plot beyond the introduction just so that everyone has a chance to enter the RP and have their character started out.

Can we add a three line rule.

Not a bad idea Sora. I personally would hope that people aren't going to waste their two-posts per-update on something under three lines, but I'll throw that in as well.

 

ALSO: While you all wait for the RP thread to go up, I'll let you stew on the group divisions we've got. There are so many climbers I actually divided the force into four groups: Gold team, Silver team, Platinum team, and Iron team. Due to requests, preferences, and a little bit of scheming, there are the preliminary groupings:

 

Platinum

Apollo

Lance Alburght

Varion Hain

Fairy

Aya Kozakura

 

Iron

Alice Thornsberry

Emert Berger

Morgan Etiam Vinctum

Doctor Pellinore Warthrop

 

Silver

Ferro Nonkendas

Sanya Bishop

Sairi Kozakura

Kinzoku Mors

Jasper Summers

 

Gold

Drale Vay

Averain

Amber Dolor

Cornelius Bastion

Sandrew

Edited June 19, 201411 yr by MDSVeritas

What does this mean for our characters? 

 

Will they be in these groups at the start of the roleplay?

 

Sairi and Aya aren't in the same group. Aya is in Platinum ( I dont know if that is good or not), and Sairi is in Silver (which I dont know if it is good either). I mean I am crying. 

See for yourself! Here's the RP: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/75586-evraius-rp/

 

If you want any team changes, just say so and I'll make some early adjustments!

I REQUEST FOR MY TWINS TO BE ON THE SAME TEAM PLEASE SIR!

And so it begins. I've started off, so lets see how everyone else responds.

I like how Emert is in iron. It just seems to fit him that way.

The God of Yuri requests more girls on Sanya's team.

That's cool. I shall consider a climber character, then.

Aww, now my ship is going to be hard to do since we aren't in the same group. But I do think fire and iron fits together nicely, just like Heatran.

I am currently wondering whether Varion and Fairy were deliberately put into the same group..

The same as LAnce and Aya... O.o

Come on, MDS knows how to read this group like a book. You know the answer to that question.

I am posting and editing if MDS actually puts my children in the same group.
