Fantasy's Shattering

GM: TheWindel

Co-GM: Eisenhorn

The Story So Far...

Since as far back as anyone can remember, the world has always been splintered. Broken. Divided. Shattered beyond all recognition. There was a time though, before the cataclysmic Shattering, when this world was whole. Legends of the ancient times speak of this world being much greater than its current state, a place of everlasting peace…and boredom.

The Shattering followed soon after, bringing conflict into the world. No one can say for sure what exactly caused the Shattering, though many researchers of our time agree that it was the actions of some primordial deity, perhaps, the deity that created all realities.

But that is mere speculation.

What is known are the stories of the Thirteen Heroes and their journey to stop the Shattering. It was through their actions alone that this world halted its descent into destruction and did not fall apart completely. However, shortly after their victory, the Heroes were locked away, kept hidden from the world.

Or so the legends say.

Enter the present day. Since those dark times eons ago, bids for power have risen and fallen. Through it all, one force has forced its way to the top, becoming a government to unite the world as one: the Imperium.

Things are much different these days. The majority of people live out their lives either serving the Imperium or exploring the territories of their broken world. And then there are the Mercenaries. Arms at hire, criminals to most, but most of all, treasure hunters willing to risk all for their prize.

To become a Mercenary is to sell one’s soul for pride and profit. Few dare to even consider the lifestyle. In one day though, the strings of fate become altered once more.

Legend Relics.

Thirteen powerful amulets said to contain the legacy and mementos of each Hero that stopped the Shattering. Once held, the powers and abilities of the past Heroes are said to manifest themselves as complete wholes once more through their holder. The Imperium has proclaimed an order to all for the request of these objects, placing the highest price conceivable for their return.

Why does the Imperium seek them? What worth do they have now? To what end is the world slowly becoming shattered again? That’s not your problem. Your concern lies in locating those Legend Relics first before your rival Mercenaries do.

For this is the greatest treasure hunt ever proclaimed by man…

Got an idea for an rogue that has dipped into some illusion and mind altering magic, but those kinds of abilities always seem a bit iffy from GM to GM, do y'all have any thing against that? Edit:BT-dubs, what kind of areas are there in this setting,so as to have a few options when writing or characters up, if y'all don't mind my asking?

Appearance: Height: 5' 9" Weight: 133 lbs Hair Color: White Eye Color: Blue Name: Megumi Takaki Age: 18 Personality: She usually tries to be friendly and kind to others whenever possible. However, she will quickly react with hostile force whenever she feels it is required. During battle, she maintains a sense of honor and often asks her opponent to surrender before delivering judgement. During business transactions she will act business-like, often doing what she can to gain the most profit out of it. Weapon: Cresent Moon: the katana Megumi wields. Forged by a now-deceased master swordsmith, the blade is very valuable and high quality. Abilities (Magic):

• Electric current: infusing her blade with electricity, she delivers a strong electric shock to anyone who even just touches the blade.
• Magnet movement: by creating a magnetic current at her feet, she can hover an inch or so off the ground and move much more quickly than she normally can. Also useful for moving over water.
• Railgun: by sending an electric current into a small metal object and flicking it with her finger, she fires a high-velocity projectile. However, it has a short range and currently requires 2 hands to use, so it isn't used that often.

I'll have my CS up by today, if not in the next few hours.

What exactly do you have in mind for the illusion magic? I'll post up better details later, but for now we're looking at a forest area, a desert area, a castle metropolis for the Imperium, and a maze of ancient ruins. I would prefer it if you guys posted your CS in the Character Pile instead of the OOC.

10. Have fun. Or I will make you have fun 0)_(0

pls kurumi-chan! no!

I was kinda leaning towards a mix between Dresden files illusions and the illusion branch in elder score if that makes any sense.

Sadly, I'm not accustomed to either series. Can you give a run down of the capabilities? Though 9 times out of 10 we'll probably accept it.

I prefer to put unaccepted characters here so that the GM, aka you Windel, can then assess it and accept. THEN it goes to the character tab. I know it varies for GM to GM, but that's how I like to do it.

Ah, greetings Scarifar. I would still prefer to have you work on it in the character tab, but since you've already reserved a post, just be sure to move it after acceptance.

I, however, am familiar with Dresden File styled magic, illusions included, and as long as you don't get godmod happy (Mainly my concern is with phantasms, not the holograms) with it, I personally see no problems with it. And I'm not sure if you tried to put Elder Scrolls and had a typo or not, since I don't recognize Elder Score, but I dont see a problem with mixing some elder scrolls and dresden files magic styles. @TheWindel: In essence, to provide an explanation, I shall quote the wiki to make things simple (For Dresden Files Magic) "Holomancy is an area of magic that deals with illusions... ...There are two ways ot create illusions: Create the image in someone else's head—a phantasm. This is close to breaking the Laws of Magic. Create an actual visible object or creature—a hologram. Harder to produce and takes an enormous amount of energy..."

Ah yes, thank you, and indeed I was trying to write elder scrolls, damnable autocorrect. In any case I'm about to go into work, so I probably won't get started on my cs till this evening.
