Vykon, land of mystery, war, deadly creatures, fantastic friends, and daring adventures, is a world with war at the foundations. Rule has shifted from Titans, to Dragons, and now to Man, each transition happening from war and betrayal. Although, Vykon is heading out of the Umbral Age, which has lasted for seven-hundred years, and into a new age. One full of great heroes, dastardly villains, and the return of magic into the world. Some even speak of some growing kingdoms being ruled by demigods, champions sent by The Holy Eight to lead the world through a dark event that is rapidly approaching. However, not all heroes are sent by gods. The question remains, what mark do you plan to make on the Realm of Aegredalar?
The world of Vykon is massive, spanning several races, countless territories, even more kingdoms, and more. It's a diverse world full of diverse people. Some wish to see it bent to their will while other wish to see it flourish as it exits the Umbral Age. This massive sandbox/adventure will take a group of people on a quest like no other. There are talks that the Undying Legion is looking to wrest control from the already weak mortals. This world needs defenders from such a threat. The overall quest is to stop the Undying Legion from marching its army upon the rest of Vykon; whether that be a diplomatic or military victory is up to you. All you know, is that a head on attack would be suicide. As it stands, most view the Legion as a far off people, confined to Death's Peninsula by the geography, that stay far away from the rest of the world. But you know differently. You've seen and encountered undead scouts in your land...you know firsthand that something is brewing in that Peninsula. And no one believes you, yet.
I'm running a nations style RP with some friends in the world, but it's a very slow moving project we do in our free time. However, the world's history is written up and is in-depth, monsters are being discovered each day, kingdoms are trying to begin, it's a world that is trying to claw it's way out of darkness and discover new things about itself. I have a full write up of the history, it is long so I'll put it in an OOC if it comes to it, several monsters, all of the territories planned out, the rulers of kingdoms set, etc.
Magic was once a powerful tool, most anyone could use it, but it has been lost to time and war. Relics are found every so often and it is slowly seeping back into the realm. Even spells as simple as making a small glowing light are seen as godly powers. You most definitely will not be able to start with any form of magic, but I can guarantee you'll encounter it and learn a thing or two as time goes on
Imagine Pathfinder meets LoTR. There are countless races roaming Vykon; Troll, Goblin, Halfling, Orc, Gnome, Centaur, Dragonkin, Human, Dwarf, Elf, Undead, etc. There are also many types of people, to the closed off dwarven kingdom of Uther's Hollow inside the Misty Peaks, to the jovial and rambunctious crowd of the Emerald Alliance, to the dastardly pirates of Booty Bay and the exiles of The Outcast. You'll see most, if not all, of these people at least once on your quest to gather a force to take down The Undying Legion. You'll need help from everyone, even if they're not so pure of heart. If you can think of another race you'd like to see, make a small write up of them and I'll most likely add them in! As of right now, the ones listed above are the major races of Vykon.
It's a very medieval/Game of Thrones type of technology on the cusp of an industrial age. Some speak of dwarves working on boom sticks, other speak rumors of the gnomes working on metal monsters while the goblins the same as well as explosive arrows capable of destroying rock. Standard fantasy weapons and technology with light mechanical tech sprinkled in like unicorns.
As stated, I have a lot of this world already fleshed out. If it comes to OOC I'll gladly type up all the info you could possibly want of this world but I'd like to see at least five people express interest in it first. And to save myself the trouble, if the OOC is posted I'd like for five people to post saying that they're interested after reading the History of the world. That way I don't waste my time typing up all the information for it. If you don't like the plot, I'm more than happy to change it around. There are a variety of stories to be told in Vykon, this is just one possible story. You can deal with the growing Dragonkin threat to the west, help Alix Aubin in Niflant in the Frozen Wastes to the north with his growing Marked One problem, assist The Emerald Alliance with strange creatures emerging from the northern forests, and more. If people would like this to be a sandbox type RPG, I'm more than willing to let it happen. I'm looking for people to have fun in this world, tell great stories, have fun myself, and work with everyone to make sure that happens. I'm super into collaboration to make something great and am open to most ideas.
So, if you're interested, just let me know below. When we reach five people I'll make an OOC. This RP will be open indefinitely, there's no limit on the people that can join as it's just a massive world.
Plot?
The world of Vykon is massive, spanning several races, countless territories, even more kingdoms, and more. It's a diverse world full of diverse people.

The World?

History
Magic?
Magic was once a powerful tool, most anyone could use it, but it has been lost to time and war. Relics are found every so often and it is slowly seeping back into the realm.

Rules
- Respect. This the most important rule of the roleplay. Respect my rules, decisions and roleplay. I am the GM, so please try to respect that as my word is law. This also goes to your fellow RPers, respect each other. No name calling OOC, death threats, etc.
- Have fun. Please have fun when it comes to discussing ideas, creating your character and writing your in character posts. Writing is all about fun and not to be taken seriously.
- Regarding Godmodding and Metagaming: Godmodding will only happen in two instances: 1.)things need to be moved along; 2.) with a player's permission. Do not, under any circumstances, take control of a person's character (this includes NPCs/Monsters) without written consent from the controller. As for metagaming, not a chance. When/if it comes to fighting each other, it can get boring to "leave it open" so if there is a clear winner then you can win. However, no killing without GM and player approval.
- No spamming.
- Characters. Make them realistic. Everyone has flaws. I want well thought out characters, please. Flaws make for interesting roleplays and allows every character to have a moment to shine as well as fall.
- Character Sheets. The Character Sheet is placed here as well as within the Character Tab. I want to see detail within your character sheets. As far as pictures are concerned, avoid using anime style art or just use real pictures. I have pretty high standards when it comes to art, so here are a few examples that I'd allow (1,2,3, 4)
- R. Anything goes in this RP. Sex, violence, swearing, etc. But moderation is key to making it have weight so keep that in mind. When it comes to pictures of the stuff, please put a warning before it. If it comes to anything such as self-harm, suicide, or anything of the sort, a warning is required as well.
- Posting. We're in Advanced RP so I'd like to see at least three paragraphs (five sentences minimum). Dialogue doesn't count towards the sentence count. If you and another character plan on having a long interaction, please work out a collab post in OOC or PM.
- Realism. This is a realistic RP, besides....the magic, monsters, etc, so keep it realistic. If your character is injured, they can't heal in thirty minutes (unless GM says otherwise). Nor can they fight in a battle for five hours without collapsing. Keep things realistic, it honestly makes it that much more interesting.
- Rule Breaking. I understand there are slip-ups. Every now and then, a rule breaking post is allowed. However, repeat offenders will be removed.
- Drama. Keep it in PMs if it's OOC, if it's IC it's totally fine.
