It's good to be bad, ladies and gentlemen! I'm looking for five to six ne-er-do-well's to join me in a story of villainy, war, black comedy, cunning schemes, badass battle sequences, and general evil kickassery. Here's the pitch:

There is evil afoot in the generic fantasy world of Lutum. Though peace and prosperity have been the order of the day for a long, long time, there have always been a variety of evil characters lurking on the outskirts - necromancers, assassins, witches, warlocks, barbarians, and all matter of villains abound, hatching schemes and terrorizing the innocent. Unbeknownst to the forces of good, however, a new alliance is forming - an ancient evil is returning, and it has contacted the foremost villainous powers of the world with an offer: "Be my Harbingers, usher in the end of days for this world, and reign eternally as my most powerful and trusted servants." 

Not the most original plot, maybe, but I haven't seen a story quite like this told from the perspective of the villains yet. In this RP, players would be the Harbingers, a motley and varied cast of villains from all over the world. Now, there's a reason Lutum is such a generic and vague setting - it's so that you, the players, can play any kind of villain your black hearts desire, from a pirate king to a mighty black knight to a master warlock to a dragon trainer to the master of an orc horde. Vampires, werewolves, eldritch magic, assassins, demons, monsters from bedtime stories - it is [i]all[/i] fair game. This is a high power game, as evidenced by the fact that the concept is literally 'destroy the world', so feel free to go nuts (and don't feel pressured to make them supernatural - a crafty enough mortal can make as good a Harbinger as the most powerful lich).

Ground rules would be easy - a several paragraph post at least once a week, notify me before longer absences, have a decent command of the English language, don't be a dick. So, who's up for a fun, high-powered, dark-but-not-always-serious story of evil? After all, we've all saved the world dozens of times by now. Wouldn't it be fun to destroy it at least once?
