"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!"

And now, the part people actually care about...


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 nothing 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:
  • 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.)







Rules
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. And remove all evidence.
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!

I might want to reserve a spot as a Chapter Keeper, but High Cleric and Vault Keeper seem fun too.

I've been waiting for the chance to join an Overlord RP. I'd be very happy to sign on with this one if you'll have me.

I have a character idea but it's based more on the Overlord video games than the show.

Any positions not filled after a certain amount of time will be filled by me or one of the Co-GMs, so go with whatever feels the most fun sounding!

@Lugubrious
I'll gladly accept you for this!

The PS2 ones about being a bad dude with a truck of minions? I really need to get around to playing that series, but something similar could be done here if desired. You could be an imposing warlord who can make allies stronger, making them better pawns for the jobs he sends them on. I'm willing to work with people to make concepts work.

Awesome! In that case, I'd like to have a go as a Chapter Keeper.

@The Irish Tree PS2/Xbox 360, yes. You should play them. Instead of all the intricacies of the different minion types of the games, I was thinking they're all just normal goblins who worship him like a god because of his father.

That's perfectly acceptable as a concept. The show does show that goblins have huge potential for growth too.

For everyone's info, I'll try and get the OOC started tomorrow, so people can begin working on cs's!

I've decided to go with a Chapter Keeper who is an animated ball-jointed doll and whose Chapter is called the Toy Factory; a paradise for creepy toys. My character has the title Lord Poltergeist and essentially fights by levitating weaponized doll parts as well as modifying their own body in grotesque ways by adding dangerous limbs, like Sid's toys from Toy Story.
