[color=DCDCDC][center][i]"It came as if it had long since dwelled in silence, perched atop the blackest of mountains, or from the most stygian of all pits. It that came was clad in fine silken cloth, skin a foul pallor of rotting flesh, a twisted mockery of human form in its form that spoke not of an ounce of the strength in its hands. It hungered for the blood of men, tore apart its enemies, and took hold of the very neck of civilization. This nightmare was one that none could be prepared for, with its menagerie of myriad horrors that tore through men and women alike in its thirst. And then, all at once, it stopped. And lo, the foul beast would try to lull the innocent to its side, to slack its unholy hunger for blood and for flesh. Promises were made. Contracts bartered. Men have fallen wholly under the spell of this beast that deifies evil itself. He has claimed the Night as his kingdom, and if nothing is done, he shall usurp the Throne that our Gods have mandated for Man's station only! Come brothers! Let us crusade against this unholy night! Let us reclaim man's place and free the souls of his captives!"[/i][/center][/color]

[i]And now, the part people actually care about...[/i][/center]

Hi, my name is Tree, and welcome to my dumb little rp half-based on/in the setting of Overlord, everyone's favorite isekai about a skeleton lich that just wants to give everyone big hugs and a livable wage. And definitely [i]nothing[/i] else.

I say that its "half-based" on the setting, due to the actual isekai part of it taking place in a different fantasy world than the one Ainz Ooal Gown winds up in, as otherwise whether intentionally or not, meta-gaming would be bound to happen. With a fresh start, it also means that people who are either new to Overlord or have never even heard of it will be on an even playing field.

Player Characters will be former NPCs bound to the Guild Hall "Chateau Gothika", owned by the relatively middle-sized guild "Bandersnatch" withing the DMMORPG YGGDRASIL Online. The guild hall is a dungeon in which the NPCs reside and work, typically acting as guardians of specific central locations, or as administrators of various facilities such as farms, crafting, or feeding guild pets. In particular, the guild is structured that each "Floor" of the chateau has areas that are inaccessible to invading players where NPCs would sleep, and the part where people are meant to come in and invade is referred to as a "Chapter". The Guild Hall consists of Six floors or "Chapters", with each Chapter having a "Keeper". Each Chapter is tailored specifically around the NPC that is to guard it, for example, an Ice Titan Berserker might have a Chapter that is, effectively, a room carved into a Glacier full of frozen traps and fallen bodies. At the top of the Chateau lies the "Climax Hour", where formerly each member of the guild would be fought in proper.

Players don't have to be a Chapter Keeper if they don't want to, but every NPC must have SOME sort duty within the guild. For example, here are some positions that would exist beyond the six Chapter Keepers:
[list]
[*]Manager of Serving Staff (Skeleton Butlers)
[*]Roaming Executioner (Roaming strong NPC that's purpose is mainly to catch invaders who know the layout off guard. They have more autonomy than most. Also, no, you can’t just be Pyramid Head.)
[*]High Cleric (NPC that heals the injuries of NPCs during invasions
[*]Vault Keeper (Treasurer)
[*]Gardener (Keeper of the Chateau grounds.)
[/list]

[hider=Need-To-Know Information]
[hider=YGGDRASIL Online]
A DMMORPG [url=https://overlordmaruyama.fandom.com/wiki/YGGDRASIL](Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)[/url] that had a major focus on customization. Launched in AD 2126, the game became synonymous with the term DMMORPG due to its popularity, especially in Japan. Player customization was so deep, that players could functionally create any kind of character they wanted, from races to levels. The sky was quite literally the limit for creativity. World-Items were the end-game for players, wherein weapons, armor, and accessories grew so obscenely powerful, that they actually broke the game in the most entertaining of ways. From getting a "wish" to make directly to the developers, to an infinite supply of a crafting resource from an alchemical stone, World Items were highly sought after, and exceedingly rare, with only one typically existing of each.
[/hider]
[hider=Bandersnatch]
A guild that's focus was more social than it was as a functioning raiding guild, or a hardcore PvP guild. While it wasn't entirely a guild focused on players Roleplaying, more than half of its members engaged in active roleplay in some form. It could best be described as a close-knit group of friends that managed to cooperate well enough to gain a guild hall of their own, using it as a hub for gathering, trading, and, indirectly, flaunting the wealth of the most affluent leading members. Despite the relatively low strength of the Guild, they managed to maintain their property from invaders with clever usage of traps, terrain, and in general, fighting incredibly dirty. To them, it was more important to be creative than it was to be strong. The average guild member's level ranged from ~75-90, since most members weren't hardcore raiders or PvPers.

The Guild possesses only a single World-Class Item.

[hider=Class Levels]
[url=https://overlordmaruyama.fandom.com/wiki/Job_Class]The wiki is probably the best source I can offer for a brief explanation.[/url] The RP will follow a similar format, with Base classes capping out at 15, High classes at 10, and Rare classes at 5. On your CS, you will have to specify which class is which rarity with a (B) for Base, (H) for High, or a (R) for Rare. Just keeps it neat and simple that way.
[/hider]
[hider=Magic]
Magic casters in-setting can be divided into four different categories, depending on the nature of the casting class that one takes.
[list][*]Arcane: Raw Magical Power. Traditional wizards, magic missles, shooting lightning, etc.
[*]Divine: Clerical Magic. Priests, healers, etc, are all Divine magic users.
[*]Spiritual: Eastern style magic focused on talismans, curses, and psychic spells.
[*]Alternative: Those that cast magical spells without formal practice or training. People such as Bards, Paladins, and other non-traditional casters are considered Alternative Casters.
[/list]
Magic in YGGDRASIL is divided into 12 different tiers of magic, ranging from 1-11. In general, these can be measured in terms of power by the following:
[list]
[*]1st Tier: Magical Initiate. The most basic of spells usable by those with enough knowledge and practice.
[*]2nd Tier: Magical Practitioner. Basic spells put to wider applications, and generally to greater effect.
[*]3rd Tier: Experienced Magic User. This is where many famous damaging spells from Dungeons & Dragons would reside, like Fireball would reside.
[*]4th Tier: Genius Magic User. Most magic users are content to simply live a comfortable life after securing enough power, but those skilled enough and patient enough surpass them in their studies. Mostly upgrades of 3rd Tier magic.
[*]5th Tier: Magical Pinnacle. Any who could reach this tier could probably conquer a novice army of soldiers singlehandedly, with spells such as Chain Lightning, Raise Dead, and Wall of Elements.
[*]6th Tier: Sage Tier. Those who serve as grand magical advisers to rulers, with spells enabling them to affect the weather itself, other people's minds, and transmute materials into other things.
[*]7th Tier: High Sage Tier. When tales are whispered of ancient magicians that worked tediously in order to create spells, these are the magicians they talk about. Here perfect resurrection is possible, and their spells become devastating on a grand scale if used offensively.
[*]8th Tier: Ritual Magic. For most people these are spells that would require multiple Sage Tier casters or higher in order to do, with spells of a grand scale that would decimate an entire nation, if properly invoked. If a person within the new world were to be capable of using this magic by themselves, they would likely be considered a Demigod.
[*]9th Tier: Overlord Tier. A thirst for power is the only reason one would reach such a height. And power they would receive. Beyond this tier, the only thing that could stop an Overlord Tier magic practitioner would be one of equal footing. Their spells are capable of easily eliminating a city-state in an instant if they so chose.
[*]10th Tier: Sorcerer King. The pinnacle of mortal casting. Here, one is an unstoppable force of magic and arcane might, capable of dooming all but the Gods themselves with their magic.
[*]11th Tier: God Magic/Super Magic. To be capable of coming close to using this magic, one must be divine in nature. Technically speaking, Players were never even allowed to cast these spells, with their effects typically being relegated to World-Class Items.
[/list]

In terms of limitations for Magic Casters, since the source material's way of handling it is a bit complicated, I'm going to simplify it a fair bit. Namely, by making it so that even if you have only a few caster levels, you are capable of casting magic of up to Tier 7 as a Chapter Keeper, and Tier 5 as an NPC of another lower position. However, keep in mind that if you don't have many caster levels, your states for casting magic will be abysmal. Seeing as this isn't an actual RPG with balancing, I'm keeping it on good faith that your barbarian isn't going to cast Power Word: Kill on someone.

[center][b]Rules[/b]
0. I reserve the right as GM to accept or deny whomsoever I please.
1. Don't be a dick. Generally, if an issue comes up or you take issue with something, come to me to have me resolve it rather than start a fight in the Out of Character chat.
2. Your Character only knows what they know. No Metagaming, no zooming across the castle (unless its for a joke) to interject in a conversation in the middle of another interaction. 
3. Please, please exist. I'm setting the required posting speed for this RP at the impossibly blistering speed of 1 post per 7-9 days. I'm a college student, I understand that stuff happens, cars break down, entire internet service gets cut...but also understand that if you vanish for a month I'm going to have to autopilot or replace your character in terms of functionality. If you need a break or want to quit, please tell me so that I'm not left high and dry waiting for posts that are never going to come. Its just rude to leave without saying anything.
4. I'm an idiot and I forget things. If I forget something important, feel free to call me out on it. I won't get angry if someone points out that I made a mistake, and I'll immediately try and rectify any such mistakes that crop up. [i]And remove all evidence.[/i]
5. I may not be consistent, but by no means is the rp "Dead" if I haven't posted yet. Believe it or not, I want this to live, and as such I'll try and stay on the ball schedule wise for posting.

We already have 3 Chapter Keepers reserved, but anything else is fair game! If you want to play a position not mentioned that you come up with, I'm more than happy to work to include it into the Chateau's facilities!
