Hi all, this is my first RP made, so please don't flame me. Hopefully I will use the setting continously as well.
My plan is to have an RP set in a semi Steampunk world called Aeros, where two empires of magic and tehnology are starting out, and fighting for territory.
The Rules
***************************************************************
-Absolutely no exploiting the Circle.. (maxing all points, saying your a ninja with 1337 skillz just to max kinetic.)
-No god modes or items. The people have enough to worship, especially with war hanging over..
-There is no controlling other players. That means, if you are attacking someone, you "attempt" to attack them, giving them a chance to dodge and whatever, and it gets rid of the whole "Nuh-uh, I dodged out of the way before you hit me!" bull****
-Also, I dont really mind swear words, but please keep it in moderation.
I think that's all I need to cover. Now;
The Setting
***************************************************************
The story unfolds in the Realm of Aeros, home to the Ixionian Empire, named after their god Ixion. They are masters of machines and the skies. But the world also holds the tribes of the Alagoi, worshippers of the god bearing their same name. They are masters of magic, drawing their powers from the earth.
The Ixionians are Victorian style, and use electricity and tesla coils for weapons/power/light.
The Alagoi tribes have Aztec-style buildings, and use complex grids of magma energy for power.
These empires are fighting, vying to eliminate each other, so only magic or science shall reign.
Also, there is rumor that a race, far off into the north, past the continent of Asilon, worships Archaon, the stitch god, and are extremely cannibalistic.
The other realms will be revealed in the RP.
Aeros is home to three gods; Alagos, lord of the eyes, master of flame, and the serpent king. Ixion, the Thunder steed, Stormbringer, and god of intellect. Then finally, Archaon, the Death Ray, a giant manta ray that circles Aeros, and holds in his stomach, the city of the dead. Archaon is also known as The god of Stitches, as he is pieced together from dead stars..
Enough mythology, now on to character creation.
*************************************
"All things in this universe are bound by The Circle, even gods."
Skill Tree- The way it works is each skill goes on an axis, in ranges from 1 to 30 and every skill has an opposite, except for Willpower. Each character gets a total of 15 points to spend.
Basically..
*Kinetic: Kineticism is being able to use your muscles and strength to alter your abillities. Being like a ninja or whatever, if you are high in this skill, you can leap over buildings and smash through walls. Kinetic's opposite is Mental.
*Mental: Mental is altering things with your mind. Moving things with your mind, telepathy, and premonitions. Mental's opposite is Kinetic
*Willpower: Willpower, the middle of all skills, is using your Will to alter yourself and other people's thoughts. Having strong willpower is being able to heal your wounds with a thought, resisting pain, and bending people to your will, like a Jedi. Willpower has no opposite..yet..
*Magic: Magic is changing the laws of nature to your whims, basic wizard stuff, blah blah.. Magic's opposite is Science.
*Science: Science is using the laws of the world, and devices to enhance your powers. Craftsmen use this skill, to make guns, explosives, jumper cables, and can even use chemistry to change matierials. Science's opposite is Magic.
Races: Any races that are human are preferred, however, since I have convieniently made the main setting, Thunderflint Harbour, a trans-dimensional city, any race is accepted, so long as it seems like they have stumbled out of a portal or something.
Classes: No real rigid class structure here, just pick a title (samurai, magician, thief, ninja, beast, etc.) and put points into whatever skills you think they might have.
Also, since the RP is kind of medieval themed, the only guns allowed are gunpowder types (Muskets, Blunderbuss, Flintlockes, etc.)
Here's the info for the character that I'll be playing:
Name: Khale Stormstrike
Race: Human; Subrace: Ixionian
Class: Gambit/Archer
Profession: Bowcrafter, part-time Swindler
Weapons: Deck of explosive cards, Steambow, Shaving blades.
Circle Skills:
Magic: 1
Science: 5
Willpower: 0
Phsycic: 0
Kinetic: 10
Now, on to the RP.
***************************************************************
In the beginning, there were four great World-Gods.. Aeros, the lifegiver, and the world of mortals. Sorea, the Great Shadow, and hell to the living, and the holy. Nimbus, the light vortex, and isles of heaven. Finally, Norichar, world of flesh, and the dead.
These worlds, no, these titans among gods gave life to avatars of their power. Of Aeros, came Ambirca, the Priestess of Life, from Sorea, came Alagos, Serpent king of the Eyes, from Nimbus, birthed Ixion, the Thunder Rider, and from Norichar, Archaon the World Bearer was made.
These gods reigned over their domains peacefully, 'till the Thirteen came to being. The Thriteen came from a constellation far away, and were knights bound to conquer the dimension. They resembled the fears of all creatures minds, and were a great threat to the Circle.
Ambirca, sensing the danger, turned her brothers into beasts to hide among the stars, Ixion into a stallion, and Alagos into an Amphithere, but it was too late for Archaon. He was destroyed by the Thirteen before he could be changed.. Ambirca took the stars from the sky, and took Norichar to make them into threads to stitch Archaon back together as a gargantuan manta-ray, but she destroyed herself in the process, turning into a star that shone brightly over Sorea to guide all the souls that sinned. Archaon then devoured the Thirteen, scattering their remains over the oceans of Aeros, and the Thirteen were trapped in their own watery grave...
The peace didn't last at all...
In the city of Khorikan, a major focal point for the god's energies in the Alagoi culture, the citizens were gathered around in their ceremonial garb, and a priest, dressed in a multi-colored bonegrass kilt, skulls from the local Felhounds, and feathers from the great Lagg, stood in front of the crowds, the great Sacrificial Pyramid loomed behind him... The firelight shining off of his dark skin.
"Today! We appease the gods with a moonlit sacrifice! Alagos shall be pleased with the Ixionian scum that we have caught, and we will be assured a shadowed rest in Sorea!!"
The crowd went into a great uproar, and the priest pulled out his hunting knife. He slinked over to the top of the Sacrificial Pyramid behind him, where the captive was tied to stakes.
The prisoner was tied quite tightly, and he didn't have his gear..
"Begin the ceremonial music!" The priest shouted, and he advanced to the stakes...
EDIT: Due to requests by the other RPers, I have an Atlas made for the realms. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner at my place, so I'll have to wait until later to upload an actual map.
