Well, technically they could be undead elves, orcs, dwarves, and etc. Remember that all humans are affected by the darksign and become undead. So if you consider Elves and Dwarves as demi-humans, then they would eventually turn hollow as well.Don't forget that the Berenike Knights from the first Dark Souls went hollow, and they were 12-foot tall giants. Humans come in many species in the Dark Souls world, so you could easily make a case for other demihuman races turning undead as well so long as they can manifest the Dark Soul.

It's possible that you could have it be that undead keep getting sent to Lordran because they haven't found out that the Chosen Undead has already linked the fires and reached an ending (light or dark ending). So they just keep sending undead there. The various characters could meet up in the asylum (which we could easily interpret to be 4-5 times large than the one we see in the game for the sake of the RP)

Yeah, I know it's possible to create demi-human elves/dwarves, but I just really don't think characters like that would fit into the Dark Souls world. I know it could work, but I'd really prefer to swerve away from custom races such as that.

Yeah, I'm finalizing a little concept right now. Unless you guys are against it, I think I'm going to go off of the ending of Dark Souls 1 where the Chosen Undead became the dark lord. It'll be set at least a few hundred years later, and the abyss will be running rampant across the world. Undead will be far more common, hollows for the most part. We'll probably have something like you said where the humans still send undead to the asylum, and we could probably start up there for the most part. And yeah, most areas will be extended. We'll probably be in what used to be Lordran, though it will be completely different by now, and it'll be scaled a bit larger too. I'd still like to keep to the more dungeon-like feel though, so there will be a lot of action for sure.

Will the characters grow during the rp? Don't get me wrong...I don't mean a full level system, just some advancement.

Though there won't be any levels or anything of the such, you're free to advance your character however your wish, provided they've actually trained to advance. I've been thinking of how we're going to work souls into the roleplay, and I've been playing around with souls perhaps transferring a small wisp of the former owner's memory to the person who takes it in. Per se an undead was an expert bowman before going hollow, if you killed him and took on his soul perhaps you'd be a bit more familiar with the workings of a bow, how to hold it and the such, a bit of shooting. You'd never be able to learn a skill this way, it would just provide a bit of help if one wanted to learn the skill, or needed to use it in an emergency. This is just a concept I have going, still working on it.

Interested!Though as for the setting what would that be? I know you talked about after the fact, but have you ever throguht about during all of it? In Dark Souls 1 we NEVER got to see any of the cool stuff that happened in the lore. Like the war of the demons Etc. Why dont we set it during those events and have a impact on Dark Souls one as a whole? Heck we may even stop the entire thing IF we are good enough. Fighting Demons and the like.

That's a great idea and it would provide some really nice roleplay, but I'd like to stick more to the undead, the lord souls, and the first flame for this roleplay. I'd like to portray the hopelessness of the curse and the futility of continuing the cycle.

Like I said guys, I have almost everything down inside my head now, just need to work on some final points. I'll try and get an opening post created by tonight, and the OOC will most likely be up by tomorrow, tonight even if I'm able to. Thanks for all the interest, I'm glad to see other fans of Dark Souls out there! :D
