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 all 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?

Could be interested. I personally am a fan of a Death-Chaos-Destruction trichotomy, so it would be cool if we could get something like that going.

I'm neutral/lawful/chaotic good 99% percent of the time, but I might be interested. Reminds me of Overlord.

It's great to see so much interest already!

I tell you what: Tomorrow, I'll make a CS skeleton first thing so y'all can have something to work on while I write up the OOC and all the world stuff and make it look pretty and everything. For now, I sleep.

Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions about character concepts between now and then. Or post it here in the thread, I'm not your dad.

I'm interested in this, dependant on the style of the world and the style of play. I'd prefer to wait until there's an OOC or similar up before making a character sheet, so as to make sure the character fits the mood and theme of the world and so I have something to build off.

I'll be dropping my interest here as well, I'll look forward to that CS template, these days creating characters is one of my biggest pleasures in RPing.

Alright, so I know I SAID I was gonna put up the CS skeleton before anything else. But then, well, I made the skeleton and I thought, 'I should include some tips and rules and stuff'. So I did. And then I thought 'I should include some background stuff.' So I did. And then I thought...

Well, the point of this is that I've made the OOC, which you can find here. Enjoy!
