The year was 2257 everything seemed like normal and mankind was on the path to world peace and after that, who knows! However, that's when the strange reports started coming in. Tales of creatures and monsters moving across the land; beasts never before seen were found migrating from the West coast to the East, some were aggressive, but others were docile. At this stage it was isolated; rare cases of unusual and explainable phenomenon, but that didn’t stop mankind's savior, General Williams, from making Anselmo the first to prepare. At first the whole world laughed at him, he was trying to prepare a whole city against animals! Nobody would realize just how right he was until much later. With rest of the world taking the changes as a sort of natural evolution. They only strove to identify the new aggressive animals and clear them to be hunted, turning a profit from selling permits. Things returned to relative normality for a while, but it wasn’t long before more disturbing news arrived. The year was 2259 when the first stories of the supernatural came. Creatures crawling out of nowhere, ripping through reality to enter our world. Humans who weaved what could only be called magic, consorting with the unholy and monstrous forces that began their invasion of our world. This was the beginning of the witch hunts. After all if ever there was an answer for this horrible, supernatural invasion it was those touched by magic pulling them from whatever Hell they dwelled in. In the year 2260 the witch hunts proved to be a failure as more and more of the monsters and mages appeared. That was when it turned into a full scale war between the sane world and the wicked madness that strove to fill it. Yet it seemed like this was a fight we were destined to lose as the monsters grew to corrupt all in their path, turning men to beasts of gnashing teeth, sharp claws, twisted skin, and other horrible mutations. Worse still was how their number seemed to be without end as for each one that fell another took its place. General Williams had proven to be humanity’s savior and it was thanks to his preparations that Anselmo had the resources to begin setting up our defenses before the monsters made it to us. For the next 5 years we strove to turn our city and the surrounding 3,000 square miles into a fortress. Our goal was a wall unlike any made before, 80 meters high and fully wrapping around our little corner of the world. While we were building, the next few years were not pleasant to mankind, the war was being lost and as cities and millions of people were destroyed we could only pray our wall would be finished in time. Finally in the year 2263 we had a breakthrough. We had found the home of the monsters, The Other. A dimension parallel to ours and almost impossible to comprehend. Yet with what little we could understand humanity started work on a weapon. Something through The Other that would turn the tide of the war. However, after four years of brutal fighting Anselmo lost all communication with the outside world. The last few communications we had told only of slaughter and chaos sinking through our forces. With our eyes and ears gone all we could do was build and hope. It was an ambitious goal, but with the threat of Hell coming we banded together and we did it. In the year 2265 it was finished and we armed it to ready ourselves for the coming tide. [img]https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/F2kU9uuYR4e4UgJi6S0I[/img] For a year we reached out into the world, trying to find what happened to the weapon and the rest of humanity, but we found nothing. No matter how hard we looked and how much we tried all we found was chaos and death. What’s worse is a new type of monster was found, creatures enormous in size and unstoppable in power that roamed the land at random. It is the year 2353, it has been 87 years since the rest of the world died, and today we live in peace and safety behind our walls. The great monsters that roam the wild world have been named Leviathans and are forces to be feared by all. Anselmo is the only place that can hold against their assault, if only barely. The good news is that they don’t seem to be organized. It’s like they’re animals; each with its own agenda. We have continued to send out Expedition Teams to try and find survivors who have not submit to the chaos of the world. More importantly we send them out to find remnants of the weapon in hopes that one day we can finish it. Without it we can only hide behind our walls; keeping the idea that one day our world can be ours again, out of reach. [/hider][/center] [center][b][u][h2][color=tan]Who's Who, What's What, and Where's Where[/color][/h2][/u][/b][/center] [center][hider=Anselmo][img]http://orig07.deviantart.net/8341/f/2010/164/3/8/sci_fi_city_by_duq.jpg[/img] Anselmo is the last remaining stronghold of humanity. The city's walls stretch for over 3,000 square miles, leaving plenty of room for the survivors of the apocalypse to hide away in. Using technology from both the old world and the new to find a sustainable living in the Hellish world. It takes everybody working together and at their best in order to keep the massive megalopolis standing and ticking away. Life in the city is rather fulfilling given it's place in a destroyed world with those inside the city's incredible wall feeling actually safe and sustainable. As long as it's citizens continue to work the farms and man the fishing boats, nobody goes hungry in the city. The government of Anselmo consists of two leaders with the first being the Civil Commander. He/she is basically the president of all civil affairs. Should you want to start up a new business, file for marriage, or want to pass new legislation either he/she or his/her underlings will have a hand in it. The current Civil Commander is Sarah Michelle Burns. The second leader is the Lord General. This man/woman is the head of any military and enforcement activities. Should you wish to settle a dispute, deal with the military, or venture outside the walls he/she or his/her underlings will have a hand in it. The current Lord General is James Matthew Williams, great grandson of General Williams. [b]Districts of Anselmo[/b] [b]Farming District[/b] The Farming District of Anselmo is the chief food provider for the city, using large swathes of land both inside and outside the walls to produce fruits, vegetables, and feed for the livestock that they also breed, maintain, and house. Similarly most Duvari breeders and suppliers are within this district. [b]Port District[/b] The Port District run along the Eastern side of Anselmo which connects to the ocean, letting the city reach out into the ocean for fish and coastal transportation. The Anselmo Guardians as well as the Rangers keep their ships docked in this district for city defense and transportation to coastal outposts. [b]Industrial District[/b] The Industrial District is where the builders, mechanics, and engineers work together with the researchers and scholars of the Civil District to build, repair, and maintain the city and it's possessions. [b]Military District[/b] This district is where all of Anselmo's military force is gathered to train, maintain, and store the fighting force and power it uses to keep the city safe as well as venture out into the Wild World. The Rangers' headquarters in located in this district just as the Guardian's and the Armored Division's. THis is the final stop for an Expedition Team before the are cleared to head out into the Wild World. [b]Civil District[/b] Within the Civil District lies the heart and soul of Anselmo. While all of the districts have homes and residential sub-districts this district is primarily housing mixed with key infrastructure. The governmental buildings are located in this district with most of the large schools, educational societies, and all of the chief research laboratories. The Seer Corp headquarters is located in this district with the Anselmo Educational Society and Center of Advancement.[/hider][/center] [center][hider=The Wild World]After the end of the world came about nature started to reclaim back it's territories, over growing cities, turning towns to ruins, and making standard biomes all the more extreme. Forests have become overgrown with massive trees that damn near reach the clouds. Deserts have grown hotter and have expanded to encroach on plains. Tundras are falling more South to reach what were once temperate climates. Even for places that were once occupied by men have now become groves of ruined rumble held together by the growing foliage that seeps in the concrete cracks. Even the sky turned extreme by turning the upper atmosphere winds into a massive perpetual windstorm. This limited the use of aircraft to nothing more than airships and helicopters. Yet out there are worse things than mother nature. Humanity beyond Anselmo has collapsed, turning sane men mad with primal insanity. These Wild Ones live in crude tribes and are scattered all over the Wild World. While each tribe can vary on their views and reactions towards the citizens of Anselmo, it is usually a hostile response. Most tribes also have taken to worship of the monsters that inhabit the world they do, leading to ritual sacrifice, cannibalism, and feral tactics. While Anselmo is the Last Bastion of Man, it isn't the only one in the world. Scattered throughout the area around Anselmo and spreading out further are outposts and lookouts where Expedition Teams can rearm, resupply, rest in relative safety, and learn more about recent, local events. Also scattered through the Wild World is remnant of the old world. Bunkers that hold technology beyond the current scope of Anselmo given their current backwards state. Using these old places one could find memories of how life was before the apocalypse as well as devices and tools that are far more advanced than anything Anselmo can provide.[/hider][/center] [center][hider=Roles]In the world of Wrath of Darkness there are many roles, but all can be brought down to a few factions and 'classes' within some of the factions. Listing from soldier to scholars, all of the listed members can join a trip beyond the walls to explore the wild world. [b]Anselmo Ranger[/b] - The Rangers are men and women who make a living beyond the wall. Trained to fight and survive outside the walls using a mix of weaponry and survival tactics to assist the other members of his/her team. [b]Anselmo Guardian[/b] - Also called Wall Guards, this faction is the defenders of Anselmo manning the giant cannons on its walls, patrolling the immediate area around Anselmo, and making sure nothing makes it past them. [b]Seer Corp[/b] - While under the Seer Corp does fall under the Anselmo Educational Society and Center of Advancement, they are vital members in most major functions of the new world offering a connection to The Other in order to see the mysteries and wonders that it hides as well as shifting and bending reality in very minor ways to assist their teams. [b]Anselmo Armored Division[/b] - Some consider this faction to actually be an extension of the Anselmo Guardians as their job shares most of their duties. This faction uses heavy armored vehicles to patrol around and defend Anselmo, but a duty they don't share with the Guardians is transport and resupply with the forward outposts outside of Anselmo. [b]Anselmo Educational Society and Center of Advancement[/b] - This faction is based on education and learning. All of Anselmo's education system is under this faction, but so are many researching Occultists and Monster Biologists. Similarly, the Seer Corp fall under this faction. [b]Anselmo Engineering and Maintenance[/b] - This faction makes sure Anselmo stays standing. If it needs to be fixed, cleaned, built, or deconstructed these are the folks you will need. [/hider][/center] [center][hider=Mounts][img]http://www.kino-mira.ru/images/stories/za-kulisami-kino/avatarr/pantera.gif[/img] In the passing 87 years from the fall of the world and the time in which we will be playing nature has made a point of growing over the destroyed and decrepit remains of society. This has made travel difficult for vehicles. In order to get around this the people of Anselmo learned that some of the creatures that came to our world back in 2257 and thrived in the passing years make excellent mounts and companions for extended travel. The favored being the Duvari a race of horse sized cats with 6 legs in total. Their agility and dexterity makes travel over rugged terrain easy and with their strength, good pack animals. Even though each Duvari has clawed hands they are meant for climbing over hunting as they are actually Herbivores, using their frontal sharp teeth to cut parts of dense vegetation to chew up using the grinding teeth in the back of their jaws. Most natural Duvari have primary color schemes but breeding done by Anselmo’s breeders has given them an assortment of colors that would rival a rainbow. Generally following a main coat and underbelly pattern for color. The other notable feature is the Duvari’s extremely long tail that can extend up to eight feet. So far no use has been found for this needlessly long tail.[/hider][/center] [center][hider=The Other][img]https://frankrayal.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/vortex-3.jpg[/img] The Other is a true mystery. Technically The Other isn't a thing, but more of a place, yet this place thinks, talks, and shifts about as if it's alive. The Other is the home dimension of the monsters, yet it not inherently malicious like it's denizens. Being said it also isn't particularly good either. The Other is probably the closest thing to a truly neutral and curious omnipotent being in the world. It jsut exists and by existing weird and strange things happen around it, as well as how it can influence people at places where the barrier between the material world and The Other are particularly weak or even fractured. Seers have the ability to access The Other at these junctions or through beings connected to The Other in deep ways. Using this the Seer can glean information through supernatural events, twisted dreams, or even through direct trips into The Other through the spiritual bridge. Though of course this must be done with caution. If you can see into The Other, The Other can see into you.[/hider][/center] [center][hider=Note on Technology]So as a bit of an aside. While this RP takes place a few hundred years in the future the level of technology has fallen back in many fields. Weaponry and transportation being two of the hardest to fall. Current weapons technology exists of only ballistic weapons. Types of ballistic weapons have grown and become more advanced leading to modular weapon systems and harder hitting rounds to battle the more durable and deadly monsters, there are no more advanced weapons such as ones that shoot laser or plasma. All the ones that did were lost in the Fall of Man. Transportation technology has faded as well as the world changing to make the currently existing ones less viable. Airborne vehicles are almost non existent given that during the war most were destroyed. Beyond that civilian craft were repurposed or just fell victim to the growing dangerous wind paths located high up in the sky. The only ones left are airships and helicopters that are in very scarce supply, but offer a much safer alternative mode of transportation. Agricultural technology has taken a hit as well but not nearly as bad as other fields letting Anselmo retain a self-sustaining food supply for it's citizens. This is the same for Anselmo's fishing and livestock industry, allowing them to maintain a sufficient food supply for the foreseeable future.[/hider][/center] [h1][center][u][b][color=red]Monster Codex[/color][/b][/u][/center][/h1] [center][img]http://tarot-sibila.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/bookof-shadows-300x203.png[/img][/center] [hider=Monster Codex] [hider=Key]The Monster Codex is broken up into two sections. The first being Type, which is broken into Reaver, Breaker, Swarm, Occultic, Command, and Leviathan. Reavers are monsters who are usually quick and attack with sharp attacks like claws, teeth, and blades. Breakers are monsters who usually are very large, durable, and slow; fighting with blunt and powerful attacks like crushing fists, heavy stomps, and bony tails. Swarm monsters are monsters that move in hordes, swarms, or deal with nests and hives and attack in massive numbers to make up for their often smaller size. Occultic monsters are monsters who have a great connection to The Other and always have magical properties. Command monsters are leader grade monsters that can have subordinates in the other types, yet to qualify for this type the monster in question must have noticeable differences from their lesser counter parts. Finally Leviathans, which have to Categories as they all follow the same level of danger and are great beasts with a very wide variety of strength and powers. Next section is the Danger Category that has six levels. Category 1, monster is docile and poses no threat or danger to others. Often cowers and feels when presented with danger. Category 2, docile and peaceful, but dangerous when provoked. Category 3 is hostile and low threat. Category 4 is hostile and medium threat, meaning they are a challenge to beat and shouldn't be fucked with. Category 5 is hostile and serious threat, which means these guys are a danger that should be treated with the utmost care and dealt with by a team when the monster is isolated and with heavy weapons that include rocket launchers and heavy machine guns. Category 6 is hostile and unsafe threat. This category is the one you pray you never see as they are the worst of the worst with dense natural armor, great speed, and vicious attacks. If you engage a Category 6 you'd best have a tank and even then still hope that it doesn't reach you as it could probably open that tank up like a tin can.[/hider] [hider=Reaver] [indent][indent][hider=Category 1][list] [*] [hider=Item 1][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 2][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 3][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 4][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 5][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 6][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 7][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 8][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 9][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 10][/hider] [/list][/hider] [hider=Category 2][list] [*] [hider=Duvari][hider=Duvari][b]Name:[/b] Duvari [b]Description:[/b] Duvari are six legged cats that are about the size of horses with clawed paws and sharp teeth. They have short fur that covers the entirety of their bodies that usually follows a top and under belly coat pattern that can be almost any color. Having long tails that can reach up to eight feet in length. Fast and dexterous these monsters are nimble and quick, moving with almost unrivaled agility when unladen. Wild Duvari form packs that travel and roam the Wild World being lead by a strong alpha, though the alpha Duvari have no special qualities from normal Duvari. [b]Average Size:[/b] Standing height of 5-6 feet and a length that can range from 8-16 feet. [b]Weapons:[/b] Clawed paws that are used to rend and shred aggressors as well as sharp teeth that can easily tear into unarmored foes. [b]Occultic Properties:[/b] None.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Duvari have softer underbellies that lack the natural muscle of the rest of their frames, leaving that area more susceptible to damage.[/hider][/hider] [*] [hider=Varm][b]Name:[/b] [hider=Varm][img]https://s16.postimg.org/dza98xb2t/e80540ec165fd3dea659e63cc17808d6.jpg[/img][/hider] [b]Description:[/b] The Varm can be often heard before they can be seen. Swift, agile and fast, Varms are almost impossible to be caught by any predator while they are flying. Their flexible bodies are able to fly full speed even in the closed forest. Their cheerful songs echo through the woods as these happy and playful creatures fly through the forest. Their speed on air is unrivaled. These herbivore creatures are completely harmless to humans, often flying alongside their ships and helicopters singing and playing around it. Their diet consist mainly of seeds and fruits. Most of the time these birds spend on land, they spend on the trunk of big trees, using their claws to latch themselves on it and move, flying from tree to tree to eat, find a mate and play. A female Varm lays a number of eggs ranging from 1 to 3 every year. The mother Varm then proceeds to use its own body as a cradle to both heat, protect and hold its eggs until they hatch. Little Varms are already able to confidently move on the trunk of a tree as young as a few weeks, which it spends mostly being fed by its parents until its old enough to fly by itself. [b]Average Size:[/b] About the size of a domesticated Duvari, a little smaller than wild Duvari. [b]Weapons:[/b] Their claws need to be big enough to be able to pierce the thick trunk of the trees in order for them to climb, but that same thing also make them deadly weapons. Their claws are long enough to cause pretty deep wounds if they feel threatened. Male Varm get particularly more aggressive after the breeding season, when the female Varms laid their eggs. Any creature that approach the tree they made their nest on will be greeted with threatening cries from the male Varm. If ignored, the male Varm will start flying low near the trespassers to convince them to back off. On the last case, the male Varms will start attacking the trespasser. [b]Occultic Properties:[/b] None [b]Durability:[/b] 9/25 [b]Speed:[/b] 24/25 [b]Strength:[/b] 9/25 [b]Special Properties:[/b] Although the Varm can be mounted, they are extremely shy creatures, and to earn one's trust a great deal of time and patience is required. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Weakness: If their wings are impeded of moving by any means (a net, tying them with a rope or something) they will not be able to get free by themselves, since their beaks are made to eat seeds and not cut meat or other things. Their entire body can be pierced rather easily due to their physiology. Their bones are hollow, so blunt strikes are very effective in breaking their bones and making them incapacitated. Their necks significantly less protected than the rest of their bodies due to them having less feathers and their skin being rather thin.[/hider] [*] [hider=Item 3][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 4][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 5][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 6][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 7][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 8][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 9][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 10][/hider] [/list][/hider] [hider=Category 3][list] [*] [hider=Ifrit][b]Name:[/b] Ifrit [b]Description:[/b] A beast with deep bronze scales covering it's entire body. It's upper half is almost humanoid in nature, with a longer neck and a head similar to a cow's skull. Where it's waist ends a serpentine body begins, striped with black and varying reds. It can move with or without it's clawed arms pulling it forward. It tends to move faster when digging it's claws into the floor, and does so while chasing prey. These creatures are very territorial, and tend to travel in small groups of 3 or 4. They make their homes in caves, and give off a massive amount of body heat. Their faces are easily their weakest point, the scales are thinner there, and between the eyes is where the bones fuse, meaning it's easier to shatter in said location. It has wide antlers spreading from each side of it's head. [b]Average Size:[/b] When "standing" it is roughly 10 feet tall. It has a full length of roughly 20 feet. [b]Weapons:[/b] Their sharp claws and teeth are both threatening, though the strength in their digits outdoes the strength of their jaw.

This allows it to gallop at a great speed. It has massive hind legs, which are used to leap onto its victims as well as very thick scales reinforced with bone stubs. Bone spikes go along its spine, defending it from larger creatures. The Crion resides near rivers and lakes, but often ranges miles from water to hunt for prey. The Crion is not afraid of humans and will often hunt them, using its sharp sense of smell to locate potential victims. Crions usually hunt alone or in a small group of 2-3, usually a couple females led by a male. [b]Average Size:[/b] Its head sits at 4m tall and its body has a length of 8m.

It’s largely translucent and motionless making it very difficult to spot with the naked eye. They thrive in the deeper waters in rocky subaquatic biomes. Once clearly in view they resemble massive shrimp, with a shark’s jaw and teeth. [b]Average Size:[/b] The defkrill is typically about five meters in length, though they’ve been reported up to seven or even eight meters. [b]Weapons:[/b] The defkrill’s major weapons are its large front claws which are shaped like giant barbs, used to sink into and trap prey. Its jaw and teeth, though terrifying are ill made for anything more than tearing into captured prey. Its exoskeleton is thick and closely jointed making the defkrill difficult to kill.

They’re humanoid, though they have a small torso and very long limbs, and whatever they have for a head is covered by a gray cloth. Four red orbs shine through this cloth, though it is unknown if these are eyes or not, the bodies dissolve into a putrid, black paste within a minute of death. In fact, they’re believed to operate primarily on scent and sound due to the extreme precision they’ve displayed while hunting. They have no hands, instead possessing four claws that each measure about one foot in length and a brutal hook in place of a thumb. Five more of these hooks are present on each foot. The majority of their bodies appear to be wrapped in faded bandages. They live in groups of anywhere from three to ten and seem to possess no social hierarchy, and they use abandoned mines as homes. They’re active both at night and day and rest for around one hour at dawn and dusk. They’re a much more significant threat in the dark; none have been recorded to have been killed in this setting. There is no known distinction between male and female, or even if there are separate sexes. Some theories suggest that they’re humans that have been cursed by an ancient evil that came from the Other. [b]Average Size:[/b] 2’01” crouched, 6’06” standing [b]Weapons:[/b] Ripper Demons use their claws as their primary weapons.

The first is an attack that’s preceded by them jumping straight up into whatever happens to be above, which they quickly used to launch themselves at a victim. No known armor has been able to block or deflect this attack, and there has only been one survivor of it.

Their young travel with them, and grow very slowly, like a human. They also live for a few hundred years and consult their elders for directions.

They prefer forests with large trees near human outposts, living in the treetops, where they build simple platforms as homes. Females are the same size as males and both share guard and hunting duties. The gorillas are territorial and sometimes battle Renks over territory. While the name used to mean a male mountain gorilla, the females have evolved to be like the males so that they, and their nests, won't be as easily identifiable and targeted by other creatures. The Silverbacks usually live in bands of twenty to fifty. [b]Average Size:[/b] 3m-4m tall.

They also seem to filter the air and somehow process pollutants, seeming also for food. They are lazy little things that glow brightly at night, giving them their names. They seem to be as mindless as jellyfish as well, as they don't fear other creatures. Noticeably, other creatures don't seem to feed on it.

[b]Last Measurement When Scanned:[/b] Length Of Approx 27.3 meters. [b]Weapons:[/b] Skel 5C can wrap and crush its opponents with its exoskeleton in a matter of seconds. It’s legs come to a sharp pointed edge used to slash and stab at enemies. It’s bite is venemous and it can spit a highly acidic acid that can burn through most weak metals. [b]Occultic Properties:[/b] No Occultic Properties Discovered [b]Durability:[/b] 20/25 [b]Agility:[/b] 15/25 [b]Strength:[/b] 13/25 [b]Special Properties:[/b] Skel 5C has been known to bend it’s legs under its body and slither across the forest or cave floor like a snake, making itself as silent as possible. Skel can use the bioluminescent lights on the end of its side antenna to attract curious prey to its hidden location. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] While Skel mostly stays low to the ground it raises its head when biting, slashing, or spitting. This gives attackers a chance to shoot at its face and underbelly which are significantly less durable than its fortified exoskeleton.[/hider] [*] [hider=Item 3][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 4][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 5][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 6][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 7][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 8][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 9][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 10][/hider] [/list][/hider] [hider=Category 6][list] [*] [hider=Item 1][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 2][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 3][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 4][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 5][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 6][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 7][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 8][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 9][/hider] [*] [hider=Item 10][/hider] [/list][/hider][/indent][/indent][/hider] [hider=Leviathans] [/hider] [/hider] Monster Template [hider=Monster Name][b]Name:[/b] Monster's Name [b]Description:[/b] 4-10 sentence description talking of the monster and it's capabilities.

To get the boring things out of the way... [hider=About Me]I'll try to keep this brief. I'd like to think I live and let live, so whatever happens and goes on will be all for the effort of maximum fun. Similarly I run my games a little different in that I will put things that truly can't be beat by putting powerful creatures and such in the team's path. This is not meant to kill you as that is the LAST thing I want to do. I just know that to make a great story the heroes must be put in danger and overcome it through their great will and wonderful characterization. So I guess to word it otherwise, I really, really, REALLY don't wanna kill anybody, even if it looks like it in the IC chat.[/hider] [hider=Rules]To keep this short and sweet: 1. No metagaming, Godmodding, or Powergaming. This is meant to be fun and enjoyable for all parties so don't do any of those three and ruin it for others. 2. Be mature and not weird. I'm all for being mature and weird, but not maturely weird. To explain, this RP is meant to be very mature with a lot of adult themes. That doesn't mean I want people going around talking about really offensive or bothersome topics. 3. Try not to flood the IC with posts. As a general rule of thumb, let at least 2-3 posts go in between your own posts. 4. Be civil. This is more of a preemptive rule, but in the event folk disagree, please try to solve the issue civil-like so we can get back to having fun. I really don't want to have to get involved. [color=fff200]Golden Rule.[/color] Have fun dammit![/hider] [hider=Character Sheet][b]Name:[/b] Character's Name [b]Age:[/b] Character's Age [b]Gender[/b] Character's Gender [b]Role:[/b] What the Character is and what they are for the team such as Ranger, Guardian, Seer, Mechanic, etc. [b]Skills:[/b] A list for what skills yoru character seems to have taken up, from cooking to killing and what way they prefer to do it! [b]Equipment:[/b] This is what your character has. Be reasonable with how much you take and I'd recommend a theme such as long ranged fighter, close ranged slugger, etc. [b]Appearance:[/b] This is what your character looks like, either some paragraphs, a picture, or a combination of the two. [b]Background:[/b] The history and background of your character to include how they reached the team and something from their past that defines and drives them, such as personal goals. Also don't be afraid to world build. Anselmo is a big place and so is the unclaimed world. Don't be afraid to explore it a little bit. [b]Other:[/b] This is the part where you can add anything else you think would be good to know about your character or would like to add for characterization. [b]Wish:[/b] One thing your character truly wishes they could have, could see, could be, could do, etc. [b]Trauma:[/b] One traumatizing event your character went through that haunts them to the present day. [/hider][/center] Since I didn't say it before... Welcome to the Wrath of Darkness RP! First things first, thanks for giving this page a look! If you've given the first few hiders a look then I need to salute you for making it through my mad ramblings. Yet now we get to the part about what will be happening. The goal of this RP is to have the members of a particularly varied Expedition Team to leave the safety of Anselmo to search, explore, and find out about a wild world destroyed and now on the verge of total insanity. The primary goal is to seek out the Monster Killing Weapon. With that the Leviathans can be beaten and once again humanity can reclaim the world. However, just because the main goal is to seek out the weapon that doesn't mean it is a direct route or even one that has to be 'on the beaten path'. I made a world and I'd like to visit it with some good players! If you want to join, please don't hesitate to message me. I'm more than willing to help with any sort of character creation, world advice, or really anything that doesn't involve spoilers. Old players are almost auto accepted, but please still submit your CS. Though given our antics from the old game I'd be willing to bet money that you know the ropes! Though we will be starting from the beginning once again given the possibility of new players
