Tales of Arcadia


PREMISE

Welcome to the land formerly known as Arcadia.

Many centuries ago, this world was a unified realm with one king, populous and prosperous. They say that it was once filled with magic, where beasts and fiends lurking around waiting to devour you was not a possibility. Such days have long passed and are just mere stories now, fables of a golden period that are told to children.

Not many are sure on why the old world fell. Some involved a calamity; a large meteor, a destructive earthquake, or a great firestorm that enveloped the land. In others, the king had gone mad, rebellions ensued and the unified world became split into seven regions. A few tales involved a wicked witch who cast a curse upon the land.

The time of the unified realm is now nothing but fragments of recorded history and the only proof we have of the time when the world still had magic are the relics from the past. Mysterious ancient artifacts from the golden age forged under orders of the one King, now scattered all around the wide world. Legends say that when all one hundred relics are brought together, magic would return to the world and the successor to the king would reveal himself. Sadly, that day has yet to come.

As absurd as it sounds, destiny has somehow lead you here. Plucked out from your own reality, you will be blessed with a relic of your own and be plunged into the world of Arcadia. Good luck!
INTRODUCTION

Along with my passion for RPing coming back, @Zeroth has inspired me to look at this concept and again, give it a go.

Like many others, this'll be a New World/Reincarnation type of story. The initial arc will be linear in plot, probably not that long, and a bit straightforward. If we remain active and intact by the end of it, it'll serve as a jumping off point for the succeeding arcs and gradual world building.

What I'd require for this RP would be patience and sustained enthusiasm/interest (hopefully). Given my line of work, I can promise weekly updates but when not swamped with work, I could probably dish out updates every two to three days if everyone's extremely active.

Coolio.

Just a few more and I'll probably make the IC/OOC thread. Not going for that many for the first arc anyway. Around 4-6 players would be perfect.

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask.

I do have one question!

Is this intended to be a crossover RP?

I probably should have assumed so but I'm not personally a fan of them myself. Nothing against them or anything but it's not my thing.

@deadpixel101 Crossover with another RP? Nope. Definitely not. Well, at least I'm not planning to make it one. Seems too messy for my taste.

Oh sorry, no I meant crossover as in characters from pretty much any other established universe.

So perhaps a Jedi from star-wars or Pokemon trainer or something like that. As you said it can be quite messy which is partly why I'm not a fan of participating.

Judging by your reaction though I assume it's not :)

@deadpixel101 Oh. Still no. You could be jedi-inspired I guess or an animal trainer?

Since we're looking at a somewhat slow pace for this, I'll show interest as well.

@Gobby

Ahaha no I don't know yet what sort of character(s) I might make. Those were just examples.

Excited to start though, I've been away from RPing for some months now.

@Dark Light@UltraCraftGames As mentioned, relics would initially be inactive. What ability and name it would get would depend on the circumstances your character is in or based on your character's actions.

Let's say one starts of with a simple DAGGER. If frequently used for killing, it could transform and gain the name BLOOD SEEKER.

Once attaining its name, abilities then would be assigned to the relic. Initial abilities would be simple and could either be something that affects the wielder (an increased sensitivity to the scent of blood) or an ability of the relic itself (able to repair and resharpen itself when exposed to blood).

So the general/pending format would be something like this:
Name: Blood Seeker
Appearance: A serrated foot-long dagger possessing a white edge and a distinct dark red hamon.
Power:
  • Able to reform itself using the iron harvested from the blood of its victims
  • Grants the user an increased sensitivity to the scent of blood


The more a relic is used and the stronger its wielder becomes, the better the abilities become.

Hopefully that makes things a bit easier to understand?
