DanMachi: Alter Oration [b]Synopsis:[/b] The Labyrinth city of Orario, the home of the towering Babel and the sprawling, underground dungeon. Home to all the world's various races and many of the Gods and Goddesses who descended onto the earth to live alongside their children, Orario is the home of many Familia and even more adventurers. Some specialize in exploring the dungeon and its depths, while others focus on crafting items or even providing other, certain, services. But regardless of what they do and how they make their living, each Familia is busy with their own lives and their own goals. Our story in particular however, follows the road of a few, select children, new to both the world and the vast opportunities - as well as dangers - that Orario and the dungeon beneath it can offer. Will they come to grow into legends and earn renown? Or will they like so many others bcome corpses and food for the monsters in the dark depths below? Only time will tell how, where and what will become of these young, fledgeling adventurers and their small, budding Familia. But the time is now for them to take their first step, to march forward into the world of adventure, exploration, magic and even intrigue. Welcome to an alter oration, of DanMachi. [hr] [b]Story Information:[/b] this story is a semi free-roaming roleplay set in the DanMachi universe, several decades prior to the events of Bell Cranel and the Hestia Familia. Players have the freedom to do pretty much what they want, be it exploring the city of Orario, going into the dungeon, visiting the market and shops or just hanging out with each other at an inn or their Familia's home. Actually doing things is what matters in this story, so get out there and try everything! The main plot is divided into seven chapters, and each chapter has a specific event or goal that needs to be completed in order to progress to the next chapter. This means that you, the players, have the choice of deciding how long or short the story will be. It also means you're free to focus on what you want to do yourselves, rather than feeling rushed or forced by a GM to do certain things in a certain order. Complete and finish the chapter's goals and events at the pace you all want and feel comfortable with. Of course, you don't have [i]complete[/i] freedom. As the story is set in Orario, you'll have to stay within the city limits. There is also a day-night cycle, which will prevent you from stalling or taking all the time in the world to do things. In addition, you will have to eat food and drink water at least once a day, as well as sleep at least four hours - otherwise, you risk bad things happening. But other than this though, you are pretty much free to explore and do whatver in Orario, Babel and the dungeon. So go forth and have fun! [hr] [b]Rules:[/b] If you intend to take part in this roleplay, please follow these few rules. 1. You must make at least one post each week. If you have something that prevents you from doing this, contact me [b]before[/b] your time-limit expires. 2. Do not start flame wars or act hostile towards your fellow players. It's fine to argue and discuss, but don't become destructive or toxic towards each other. 3. You may only play as one character at a time. If you want to make a new one, you'll have to retire, kill off or make your current toon into an NPC first. 4. Avoid meta-gaming always. If someone thinks about something inside their head, your character should not have knowledge about it. You should not be aware of events that took place in a location you wasn't even close to, unless someone told you about it. In general, don't be omniscient and be fair. 5. Nobody has plot armor. Your character is neither all-powerful nor indestructible. You can and will die if you aren't careful. Poison, disease, bloodloss, burns and other things are very real hazards that you can't just shrug off - unless you have the proper skills to do so. Be careful, be reasonable and be willing to not be in perfect condition all the time. 6. Have fun! This is a roleplay meant to be enjoyed and make you smile. You're not supposed to feel that it's a chore or a nuisance to deal with. IF you're not having fun, send me a PM and let me know why and we'll see what can be done.
