[hider=Dominions 3] Name: Dominions 3-verse

Scale: Demon Controlled Earth, with many alternate realities.

Setting: Dark Heavy fantasy. Low tech level, their highest tech is battering rams, for military tech.

History: The dominions 3-verse is a realm with many different versions, so a definitive version's history can't be decided easily, but the most relevant is the world which the Lanka are from. Once a vibrant world filled with many many different species, until a great war, known as the Ascension wars, waged by pretender gods, creatures seeking to ascend to the throne of god hood, destroyed the world, leaving only Roshan, and the Lanka. Much of the old history of the world was lost in the Ascension Wars, so not much was known about these old kingdoms/

Power Scaling: All super natural abilities, be it from genetics, science, or from magic falls under new categories, and are transformed to magic. These schools are Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Nature, Death, Blood, and Astral Magic. 

Divine magics become Astral magic.

Demonic powers become Blood magic.

	While lower level magics, such as throwing fire balls, summoning roots to entangle a foe, or creating undead creatures requires little power, other than tiring out the mage, greater spells, such as creating huge explosions, binding greater demons, creating new life, allowing armies to breath under, ect, requires gems, or in the case of Blood Magic, Blood slaves.
	
	Magic gems can be found in places that fit with their specific element/theme. Fire Gems can be found in the remains of bunt out houses, near volcanoes, deserts, ect.
	Death Gems can be found in witches huts, graveyards, sites of battles with many deaths, ect.
	Blood Slaves are normally Virgin women (sometimes Virgin males work as well, if there are no women) that are killed to fuel blood magics.
	
	If a being of great power seeks to, they can become pretender gods. However, if a pretender god is killed, and no one believes in them, they die for good, revival magics being unable to reclaim their souls from the afterlife. Becoming a Pretender god comes with great power indeed, but at a great risk. If a pretender god does earn a following, and manages to spread their faith, they will find themselves with plenty of magical gems, soldiers, priests, and magi at their disposal. Anything can become a Pretender god, if powerful enough. This includes Dragons, Cyclopes, Demons, Werewolves, Vampires, Monoliths, Undead monsters, and more.
	
	Gods can create Profits, by giving one of their servants this title. Profits channel their gods power better than most anyone, and even those without any magical talent latent can do this. 
	
	All things not a pretender god will find themselves most likely draw to services under a Pretender god. This itself can become very useful, as servants of gods will find themselves empowered by their gods. For example, those that follow a god of earth will find themselves far harder to kill, their armor seeming to not bend under the enemies strikes as easily. Water makes one faster, and more agile, death makes one more likely to cause infection with their blades, Blood causes one to heal easier, nature causes one to be driven into an animistic rage, driving fear from them. Fire causes strikes to sear their foes, doing more harm, while Astral seems to protect them from the effects of magic. 
	
	In this world, via using up a large amount of Magical Gems, one can make themselves stronger in a school of magic. However, this is insanely costly, and will most likely drain a magical gem treasury for a while, of that school of gem. [/hider]
[hider=Roshan]Name: Roshan. Lord of the rotting. Binder of Devils. Crusher of Bones.
Appearance: [img]http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/5/5a/Angazhan.jpg/608px-Angazhan.jpg[/img]
Age:  50,000 years old.
Species: Demon Bandar. ((Bandar are a race of ape men, enslaved by demon ogres.)) Pretender God. ((A powerful creature that is attempting to ascend to god hood. This is a sort of Sub-Race.))
Gender: Male.
Personality: Roshan is a brutish, violent rampaging typhoon of destruction. His temper is hair thin, and his disregard for any life makes him dangerous to be near. However, those that wish to appease him need only bring two things. Food, and virgin women. Roshan's gluttony is one of the few things that is an in for people to make friends with him. And by friends, that means he doesn't rip your arms off. As for the virgin women, Roshan uses them for blood sacrifices to fuel magical spells, and, if he enjoys the look of them, as concubines. Roshan is almost heartless, as he's willingly killed young girls only as old as 3 for his blood magics, and killed entire families of unarmed people for fun.
	Roshan's favorite foods are suckling pigs, roasted on a spite, fried ants, and apples. If you bring him Bananas, he will try to kill you without explanation.

Bio: Roshan was once little more than a Bandar Commander, a leader of a small group of troops, working under his god's watch tirelessly. However, when all other troops had broken under the pressure of the invaiding horrors from the void, a realm of Chuthulian creatures, Roshan stood strong, and charged into the enemy, swinging his blade into the flesh of their vanguard. He suffered many a wound, ranging from stingers to tridents to tentacles nearly crushing him with their strikes, but quickly, in his berserk, he broke though the line. His example caused many of his men to be amazed, and then, refreshed of their devotion to their god. They turned, picking up the blades they had thrown down, and too flew into the enemy. It was a victory, but a costly one, and Roshan was thought to be among the slain..however, this was not the case. The creature that was the god of these people, a great Vampire Queen of exceptional power with magics involving death, and blood, waved her hand. 300 virgins were slain, their blood fueling the transformation of Roshan, giving him a body of great power.

	That, was 40,000 years ago, and the god of Roshan's people has vanished, the Vampire queen growing bored of the apes, and the demons. Roshan was the one to fill that power vacuum, becoming the new god of the Bandar, and the demons that imprisoned them. He now seeks to destroy all others that would dare oppose him, and his eternal reign.

Abilities: 
	Death Magics: Roshan is well versed in the school of death magics, just as the Vampire Queen was. He is able to cause bodies to rise from their graves as ghouls, skeletons, and as Longdeads, undead that closely resembles that of who they used to be. This magic is powered by Death Magic Gems, which can be gathered at points of magical powers, or places with extreme amounts of death.

	Blood Magic: Roshan's main area of expertise, he's mastered the art of driving power from the sacrifice of virgins, to power his war machine. This school of magic involves corrupting wells of magical power, binding demons, causing plagues, and killing his foes in terrible and painful manners, such as causing them to bleed from their eyes, mouth, ears, and nose until the blood loss kills them.

	Wielder of a greater sword of sharpness: Roshan's preferred weapon is his two-handed blade of sharpness, a blade enchanted to grow sharper the more it cuts, preventing it from ever dulling. This blade is able to cut though most armors, even enchanted ones. However, he's never tested it on space age armors, or that of any sort of vehicle like a tank, as none exist in his armor.

	Owner of the Skull Amulet: Roshan has a necromancy amulet, that allows him to summon skeletons in the middle of a battle, without expending any magical energy to do so, but these Skeletons are weak, and not overly useful in the grand scheme of things. These mainly act as defenders to Roshan, should an assassin attempt to kill him.
	Berserk: Roshan, if wounded, will go into a frenzy, loosing all sense of self preservation, and will fling himself into his enemies. He becomes slightly stronger, faster, but his defenses drop quite a bit. 
	
	Recalled: If Roshan is killed, he may be revived by his priests back on his home world. This, however, takes months, and each time Roshan will return a little weaker. He can be strengthened again, via spending large amount of gems/blood slaves to recoup his strength.
Universe of Origin: Dominions 3 ((Non-Cannon. Not that this universe HAD a canonical version.)) [/hider]

[hider=Lanka]Name: Lanka
Universe of Origin: Dominions 3
Capabilities: 
Objectives: Lanka seeks to take control of all reality, and cement theirs as the greatest ruling faction of them all. They seek food, and virgins, for their feasts and sacrifices. They seek to drown all others in blood, and bodies.
Members: Bandar: Bandar are large, Ape Men. They are generally stronger than humans, but eat quite a bit more, and tend to be not quite as smart. They have a few priests, and magi, able to preform blood, and death magic.

Monkeys: Other simians are also part of the Lanka collective, but are seen as slaves, by both the Demons, and even the Bandar. They are small, stupid, but many in number. they can use daggers, and small bows, but are totally incapable of magic, save for the VERY smartest of them.

Dryads: Female Saytrs brought into the fold after the fall of Pangea, the kingdom of monsterous half men, such as Centaurs, Minatours, and Satyrs was destroyed. Dryads are considered a seperate species from saytrs, as their gene pool is now corrupted by demon blood. They are talented in nature magic, which involves summoning animals, werewolves, mythical spirits of nature, ect. They act as either priestesses, or, as powerful sacrifices, as their blood is filled with magical power.

Pans: Pans were added into the collective of Lanka when Pangea fell, as they were talented in blood, and Nature magic.
They are able to cause women to go into an insane fit of fury with their magical flutes, however this can be resisted by pretty much anyone with any sort of will power. The more stressed and angered the woman the greater the chance of this magic working on them. They act as magi, and as high level priests of Roshan. Unlike Dryads, their gene pool is free of demonic influences, as all Pan are male and any children of Pans, are full blooded Pans.

Demon Ogres: The overlords of Lanka, the Demon Ogres were nearly wiped out, and are few in number, even now. They consist of Gluttonus creatures of evil power, with many forms, none of them overly huge. Some of them can shape-shift into other forms, such as an assassin/seductress that can shapeshift into a red haired woman, of great beauty. They have many different ranges of magic, ranging from some air magics, to some water, and nature magics, but their strongest magical areas are Blood Magic, and Death magic. Many of these creatures can in fact cast spells, and act as priests for Roshan.

Blood Slaves: Not a species, but a cast. Every third girl born, is taken from their family to be raised as a blood slaves. Blood Slaves are, via a magical collar, rendered mindless cattle. They scare easy, but only to loud noises, and flashing lights. Anything else worries them not. They are killed to power blood magics.

History: Lanka has existed for thousands of years, and has achieved great things on their home world, taking it over completely, and via using all of the new born females for their blood sacrifices, have drove all species save for that in the Lanka collective to extinction ((This does not include wild animals. Just all other sentient races.)) They only recently discovered how to travel to new worlds, having killed three million virgins to create a portal between their world, and that of Arcadia-1, in what would now be modern day Miami. However, their scouting parties seem to not return, as they do tend to either get lost, or are killed by those there, as they tried to imprison them. That, or in the case of monkey scouts, they forget their jobs and go feral.[/hider]
