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!

Such a conundrum. I feel like the powers could mesh well if we thought hard about it, but on the surface they seem so disparate and opposite.

Well, intestinal enough, something I've thought about is why dosent Cornelius focus the light at a certain point? If he can harden light, then theoretically he could control light to a base-level and redirect it to another direction in hops of accomplishing something, this was the last base idea I had.

I agree, Cornelius and Drale should be able to work well together, power wise. If Frogmyre feels being inside a dome of light wouldn't adversely effect Drale's ability, then I'm good with trying it. And like NeverBetter pointed out, Cornelius can help create shadows that maybe Drale could use for sneak attacks. And it isn't like the dome is the only thing Cornelius can do for Drale, if need be. A construct of a traditional shield or a wall just on one of Drale's facing theoretically preform the same job as a dome, with out possibly cutting Drale off from anything.

If he can harden light, then theoretically he could control light to a base-level and redirect it to another direction in hops of accomplishing something, this was the last base idea I had.

I don't see light working like that. It's not like a flash light that can be pointed in another direction. Think more bright glow stick. No matter how you twist or turn it, it will always shine the same.

Alright, about the dome idea, since it seems you want my opinion on it, I like the idea, and it wouldn't affect Drale's ability. Let me quickly remind everyone here, unless I changed it, he can only use his shadow during the day. At night, he can use all shadows. (I'm sure you all remembered that, but I felt like saying it.)

So it is actually linked to the time of day rather than the simply the amount of ambient shadow (or lack of ambient light would be a better description). That changes things considerably. What we were worried about, though, is that the dome would make Drale's shadow disappear.

Yeah, it wouldn't affect his shadows. I'm still wondering if I should change it back. I originally added the daytime/nighttime thing to balance it out. If I do decide to change it, I'll just keep the strain placed on him increasing as he takes shadows from objects. (Example, if he takes the shadow from one object, he'll be strained somewhat. For ten objects, the strain would be multiplied by ten.)

This is gonna be interesting to see everyone get through. I'm trying to intersperse the combat-heavy content with some of the more interpersonal conflict that I think was at the heart of a lot of the intrigue of The Experiment and Echoes and Ash. So far you all seem to be handling it pretty well!

I was planning to make a decisive battle with my character that has been turned into a Dragon right now...

Am I the only one the remember that other closed door where the two teams are at?

Well, either way, unless someone pulls Sandrew out, he's a gonner. Did you really have to drain energy from players, MDS?

no i remembered it was there i just wasnt sure as to how to get everyone to approach it considering the last door they went near was a trap

Yes.I have a plan...that might work..if I know MDS...

 

no i remembered it was there i just wasnt sure as to how to get everyone to approach it considering the last door they went near was a trap

Ah.

Congratulations MDS, that last choice nearly turned Amber into a nervous wreck.

Don't worry, I won't so easily let a character easily die unless it's the player's choice or the odds are unequivocally stacked against them. I do enjoy some dire situations though, and I think mixing up scenarios and premises is usually how you get to some of the more interesting character moments and developments.

Ah, this means that the first cause of opening the watch will be quite unlikely. The second reason, on the other hand, is getting closer. The third.. I highly doubt. (I'm purposely bring cryptic.)

Let the fights begin!

Really,my ideas just get shot down?

Really,my ideas just get shot down?

Sorry, just trying to act in character. I didn't think Jasper would be too eager to open a mysterious locked door when his team was nearly whipped out by mechanic spiders less than an hour ago for trying the same thing. Otherwise, he'd probably support your character's idea.

I think I'll have Tristan stand there and say "i don't trust doors anymore doors are bad doors just get me hurt"

-_- Thanks?

-_- Thanks?

Sorry but last time Tristan went near a door his head almost got blown off by lasers He now prefers to make his own doors over going through one made by the Kamyn

Again,I'm the weakest member-_-

Again,I'm the weakest member-_-

hey hey now dont be like that after all isnt your character the medic type character in a role play like this a character like Fairy is very much needed and very important to her side if Fairy wasn't around after continuous battles against the Kamyn the other characters would be forced to fall at least with fairy around that wont happen think of it like that

HEY CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON PLEASE.

HEY CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON PLEASE.

Not very much.
