Gurr'Kha - The Dead World


This is a roleplaying thread that strives to be advanced, but welcomes the casual as well, seeing as both sections can contribute to it.


Setting


Welcome to the world of Gurr'Kha. This is a world in the medieval time-frame, based around fantastical things, such as multiple Gods responding to certain things(EG God of Light), magic, creatures that are based on myth and folklore, as well as other made-up beings. Fictional countries, continents and earthly formations.


Exactly seven days ago a cataclysmic event occurred, resulting in the death of the Gods. Now the world is in a state of gradual decay. Some locations were buried in anarchy, other spots try to refrain from going overboard with the way they treat things. Most religious groups have left or have been consumed by madness, and on top of that most, if not all, of their magical power has disappeared, along with their Gods.


Any kind of fantastical being can be discovered, as not only was the world already brimming with magic, it is now dotted by anomalous zones, filled with in-explainable sights or beings, which means that anything you come up with can be part of the story. The anomalies do not stop there, as the day and night cycle has been thrown off center and is entirely random. Weather events have also become unpredictable, as well as random, and have been bolstered by new occurrences(EG fire raining from the sky, water going up instead of down during rainstorms).


Rules


Contact me to talk about you joining, your character(s) and what happens. As long as you follow the rules of the guild, you are all set for the experience.

Important to note is that this roleplay will use the "S.P.E.C.I.A.L." stat system to make it more systematic but also based on random chance, simulating realism. Every stat can go to a maximum of 10 and a minimum of 0, which will render your character very, very impaired in that discipline. You have 40 (lowered from 45 to make it more taxing for characters to be amazing at many things and decent at other things) points to distribute.

I'm going to offer up a roleplay in a fantasy world that has recently ended as a result of the death of every God. It has zones with magical anomalies, anomalous creatures born of wildly flying magical or divine energies and also anomalous events. All in all the world has become quite filled with anomalies. Also, the day and night cycle is messed up to the point where the day can last for 3 hours, the night for 21 hours, and the next day can last for 20 hours, while the night lasts 4. Also, the Gods are dead, so every kind of clergy, every kind of religious order is in chaos. It's all in all a great experience. It will be, of course.
If you are interested, let me know.

Name: Thresh, The Chain Warden
Age: ???
Race: Human turned Spirit
Sex: Male
Notable Belongings: Lantern
Backstory: Everyone who knows of the fall of the Axiom Empire knows of the infamous Chain Warden. The cruel monster who tortured countless innocent souls locked away unfairly in his hellish underground prison. He foremost served as the King's advisor, little by little driving him to madness and paranoia. In time the King went completely mad, imprisoning people at random. With the rising influx of prisoners at the time, the prison expanded from the underground inner castle to the outter walls until it ultimately reached the size of the city, a literal hell beneath not even 6 feet deep.

The cries of the tortured echoed throughout the prison, into the sewers and up, spreading through the city streets. A cacophony of tortured souls. The Chorus of the Damned. With the expansion of the underground prison, a lot of the working and fighting force were moved to keep it functional, that left holes in the production rate and diminished the military power of the country until the enemy was at the gates.

The constant screams and moans of pain put the citizens in a perpetual state of panick until they could take it no longer. The constant distress along with the invaders trying to break in the gates, they started a massive revolt and swarmed the undefended castle doors, slaughtering everyone inside. While all this was taking place on the surface, underground The Warden was only focused on one thing, torturing his latest victim uncaring for the doomed kingdom. But unbeknownst to him, his guards had other plans.

Going through every cell, multiple guards started off at the periphery of the prison complex going from cell to cell breaking every lock on their way leading to the center where The Warden was located then climbing up top and locking the gates behind them.
"You deserve all of them, monster!"
Seconds passed when the swarm of limping, moaning flesh e.erged from the East wing of the prison, then the west, then the north, until every exit was covered by walking dead. He might have killed them inside, left them less than human, but it was that monstrosity that he created, now that he had to face. No empathy in their eyes, only hate, despair, anguish and a deep hunger for revenge. It was gore galore.

In the end, all that was left of his mangled meat and bone, was mush between the chain links used to bludgeon him to bits. The other parts were in the stomach of the damned.

Just as the invaders breached the gates, the rebels killed the king and just as the damned finished off the Warden, at that moment the Gods Died and the whole world followed the chaos that had befallen The Axiom Empire.

@Bishop That is a little lazy. Change his name and appearance, touch up his story a little more, remove or add something to his arsenal so that he is not just a rip from the cough game.
Also post character sheets in the characters thread.

Classical case of unintentional plagiarism. What is this "game" you speak off?

And for the story, do I touch more the part before he became a monster or do i touch more on what happened after his death and his transformation?

@OrkytheOrc The name is a little goofy, and there are some minor grammatical mishaps, but other than that you're approved. Slap it on the Characters tab and jump in.

@Gordoth Tempted to see about adapting my Savage Worlds character (a dragon man) to this stage. Do you have a formal character sheet beyond 'Use a SPECIAL', or am I just sort of filling in the details in whatever fashion I like?

@FalloutJack Yeah, try using Bishop's character sheet as an example. Other than that, you're free to throw whatever it is you want to throw in.

@Lady Selune That's an interesting measurement for age. It does not look too bad, although making her a paladin and then not giving her a backstory is quite disappointing. It could be a fairly simple backstory or a more complex one - as long as there is one.

@FalloutJack This is grand. I can see some nice chemistry between Numenor and Endrokin potentially brewing up. You're in.
Interesting way to measure age.

@Gordoth The age marker was deliberate. It's marked that way in his SW character sheet, for laughs.

Okay men, and maybe women, whoever finds themselves looking at the IC, if their character has been told something, try to answer in due time. If you think there is an appropriate opening for your character to appear (for the first time), go on ahead and write up a post. Might want to let us know in the OOC thread here.
@OrkytheOrc should say something IC now, since Rockerman did the thing.
