Hello! I have been working to either bring back one of my old stories or create a new one. I have a few concepts that are ready to be expanded but I have taken a liking to this one in particular. I am using the working title The Symphony for this one, expect that to change as I go through this more. Here is a quick breakdown of the story as it pertains to the RP idea: [center][img]https://txt.1001fonts.net/img/txt/b3RmLjEwNi5kOTFmOGIuVkdobElGQnlaVzFwYzJVLjA/warzone.regular.webp[/img][/center] A thousand years ago, an eldritch being known only as Malakith The Maestro descended upon the world of Eldoria. Malakith brought with it corrupting melodies that charred the souls of any who heard them, turning them into monstrous entities enslaved to the eldritch god. All seemed lost until a group of heroes, blessed by the Fates themselves, rose against The Maestro and managed to beat back its armies and bind it within the heart of a mountain with chains forged from the threads of their own fate. The group of heroes sacrificed their lives to ensure The Maestro and his music remained locked away forevermore. The mountain was sealed off, and its location was hidden from all but The Fates themselves. For centuries, the world knew peace, and the story of the heroic Fated Five who saved Eldoria faded into myth, becoming nothing more than a nursery rhyme that taught children to not be afraid of the dark. However, an earthquake has weakened the chains that bound The Maestro, allowing it to release its malevolent music once more. The melodies fill the air, corrupting those who hear them and turning them into twisted abominations devoted to The Maestro's dark whim once more. Recognizing the looming threat, the Fates intervene once again, selecting a new generation of heroes destined to carry the burden of sealing The Maestro once more. These heroes, each gifted unique gifts by the Fates, must embark on a perilous journey to the mountain where The Maestro is imprisoned. Will these heroes accept their fated quest, and give their lives to ensure the survival of all? Or will they doom us all to suffer through Malakith’s symphony forevermore?

I will have a character, and I will also have The Fates as the narrator's/NPCs Each character will be given a fated power, and it will be some facet of the powers that the Fated Five had. -Our characters will all start apart, and be drawn together during the first act of the story. This means that I will have unique scenarios for each player that you would need to overcome by yourself. This does not mean you will be alone, as I will allow for NPC characters or multiple characters. -This will be a fantasy setting and I will allow most fantasy races. As well, your characters will be able to be any class that you would like. I will not be doing dice rolls or anything like that. Thus, if you want to play a fighter/warlock/mage etc you are more than welcome to do that. -Your character will know they have been chosen because the fates will make a visit, gift you the fated weapon, and set you on your quest. The fated weapons will bestow powers on your character, namely the resistance to Malakiths music. There can be other, small abilities, that the fated weapons give but the focus should be on the abilities/magic your character already has. -I will create a strong framework for the world, but I will leave it open enough that you will have creative freedom if you want it. I love it when my players can influence the world we inhabit. -Any questions/interest/concerns - feel free to reach out!
