Characters ranging from lords and ladies to brigands and cutthroats; immortality not included.

@Infamous Empath No actually, I think the GM specified that we can make multiple characters.

(OOC: This is just a little character development of the mad Jester showing that he is in fact insane and isn't just nihilistic. I tried to write him as crazy as I could while revealing some of his backstory.)

The Mad Jester paced back and forth, back and forth, back and forth the dementia affecting his mind and boiling over in his soul. He
was muttering to himself, talking to himself having a conversation with… no one really. “The puny, peeeetty warlord broke my concentration, BROKE MY CONCENTRATION! Why can’t they see it, why don’t they understand, why don’t they see it? Why do people hold on to such falsehoods? Such trifles,” he raved speaking the last word with pure unadulterated venom, “Power, power, POWER, it’s as meaningless as love, only useful in the fact that it corrupts and causes men to… do things. Oh, God of Madness how you set me free from such trifles, how you have freed my soul from the pointlessness of the struggle! I too once sought the things of this world, those things that are meaningless. I had it all once Mad God, oh yes, how I had it all. Power, money, immortality, a loving family, maybe no friends, but I had EVERYTHING. Oh, but how I wanted more, how I wanted the forbidden fruit.”

An image flashed in his mind of a beautiful dark skinned elf, so beautiful that she would take any man’s breath away. He then starting convulsing shaking violently trying to purge the beautiful elven maiden’s image from his mind, “No, no, NOOOO, they all called me insane back then… a freak, and they were right weren’t they. But… they're not here anymore, the age of elves has ended and those that are left have all crawled back into their little hole. I’m still here though aren’t I… I'M STILL HERE! And I no longer desire the things I desired in my youth. I am free. I have found the light, I have been born again, saved by the Mad God’s whispers in the dark. But it is not enough that I be saved, no the gospel must be spread to others. It must be spread to the Barbarian who hangs on to his honor, it must be spread to the warlord who hangs on to power, it must be spread far, and wide and disciples must be made to all men, and I will not stop until everyone is as batshit as I am, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA… HA HA HA HA….” The Mad Jester continued like this for a few hours laughing and shaking almost as if the man that once existed there was no more and some demented demon had taken his place

@GingerBoi123 Well, it's kind of hard to give a synopsis on everybody, but we haven't yet left the Tavern. Basically what's happened is that my character Hrothgar the Barbarian walked into the Tavern called the Shit Faced Tavern and approached the barkeep for information about the man he's been hired to kill an elven mage called Maximilian who dresses like a jester and serves the Mad God Loki.

After a confrontation with the lizard man played by @jeroukoo Hrothgar makes cit known to the patrons of the Tavern that there is in fact a bounty on the head of this mage and that everyone is welcome to join him as he couldn't do it alone. There are a bunch of other characters in the bar watching this go down but most off them haven't made themselves known yet.

Then the barkeep tell Hrothgar that Maximillian is expecting him and is hiding in Ghost Deep cave in the Black Forest waiting for him. Then @Vesuvius00 character, a vampire and follower of the Mad God comes in and murders the barkeep and threatens Hrothgar.

The Lizard Man takes a little girl and runs for cover after summoning a demon and @Jd524 character jumps up and heklps Hrothgar. right now there's a fight between Hrothgar and JD524's character and Vesuvius's character.

A good time to jump in is at the tavern reacting to the fight in whatever way you wish.

@GingerBoi123 Yes, it's fine.

The Infamous stepped out of the shadow and into the sunlight, enjoying the feeling of it on his skin. It had been a long time since he felt the sun, even a fake one. There was no sun in Malevora, obviously, and every time he stepped through a portal into another world, it was always night time. And before, when he was a conquering warlord, he was too busy relishing the slaughter of his foes to enjoy the suns of other realms. But there was no enemy to slay here, so he simply stood there, a half smile on his face as he half-paid attention to the mage speak.

When Max was finished, The Infamous finally turned to him, a deadpan countenance crossing his face as he was unimpressed. "Ye do not fear me, because ye know that of my 88 powers, all stolen from slaves and denizens of my empire, I retain but less than half a dozen o' them. And most o' them nay very useful in combat. I do fathom ye're way o' thinkin'. I know types like ye love to bargain, love knowledge and power and things as much as the next basterd. So I'll offer ye somethin' an' in return I ask only for the ability to traverse dimensions at will. I offer ye the only thing I can: meself. Yet don't go thinkin' a bloke like me ain't worth somethin' to a Mad God like Lowkey. For not only will he retain me allegiance, but also that o' the fallen angel on me shoulder."

With that, one of the first - and most evil - fallen angel's took form to the right of The Infamous, however, she did not appear corporeal. Samyazaii's image was that of her original body, a teenage girl, though this appearance also included blood covering her from head to toe.

Most had never known that the chief fallen angel of all Chaotic Demons had been the one influencing him all these years, and so The Infamous elaborated on that point, "When I was 16 years old, she began manipulating me thoughts and emotions, though I knew it not. Years later, when she revealed herself to me, she also told me that she could not take corporeal form, as part of some curse. We are inseparable, and in the universe I'm from, she commands all Chaotic Demons. Surely that could be of some use to ye and the Mad Git."

The Infamous crossed his bare arms over his leather-clad chest as he smirked with pride.

@Infamous Empath

The Mad Jester couldn't contain his composure, he started laughing, not the maniacal cackle of earlier but it was loud enough and chilling enough to hear, and enough where he could not keep a strait decorum. Would that his back were not turned to the Infamous, the the look in the mad jesters eyes would reveal the absolute insanity which lies behind his handsome face.

"Oh, ha ha ha, he he he, HAH HAH HAH HAH Haaah! You just don't get it warlord, do you? I cannot have you join my ranks until you see... until you understand. Your base and boorish quest for power is meaningless, there is no substance to it, it is empty. Power for power's sake is wasted effort. Do you not understand what the Mad God's goals are, what my goal is? Don't you understand... the world is a lie, madness masquerading as order wars, famines, plagues, pain suffering, heartbreak, and death and for what purpose does it exist? What is the point of all this pain and suffering? Nothing, the things that people impose upon or world to try to make sense of it are folly. The only thing that makes sense in a pointless world is madness! I don't seek to gain power for the sake of power, I seek to spread the Mad God's message across the whole of creation! I seek to drive everything that breathes absolutely mad. I seek to give the Mad God, the personification of the one god's madness, complete domination over the creators personality. I seek to drive God INSANE!" the Mad Jester ranted and raved.

"Oh but how do I get you to see dear warlord? How do I show you the light? How do show someone who's main obsession in this world is power the true meaning of life? How do I bless you with the gift insanity?" he continued before bowing his hands in prayer, "oh Mad God, are you thinking what I'm thinking, are our thoughts one?"

A voice spoke like the voice of many churning oceans but... distorted, wrong somehow. "Our minds are one my dearest Maximilian," the voice spoke before the Mad Hell went insane and shifted into a scene of utter chaos, utter wrongness, utter insanity which cannot be described except that no man could behold this for long without being driven mad. The voice could be heard beneath the insane bombardment of the senses that the eldritch realm was no doubt inflicting upon the infamous, "I rob you oh power obsessed one of all of your power. May you be naked and castrated without it. May your mind leave you, and may you see the light of true madness."

The Infamous was stripped of all of his powers and cast out of the cave to place far from it (to be specified by Infamous Empath).

@Infamous Empath Okay, I'll have Loki take his powers and cast him out of the cave in my next post. Where do you want me to drop him?

Also, villains don't really have to join the party if they don't want to. I just meant that the characters that make sense to join should. Someone like the Infamous for example doesn't make sense to join unless it's against his will or there's something in it for him.

Freeform Fantasy Roleplay (Anybody can just jump in.)

@Vesuvius00 Actually, I like that idea. Hrothgar probably won't know exactly where the Ghosts Deep cave is deep in the black forest, he might need her alive to show him the way. Also, I have a way of beating your character in a fight which doesn't make her look like she's weaker than mine.

Hey, yeah I don't mean to railroad or anything but I have to admit that my original plan has kind of gone awry. Originally I was hoping that all of our characters would meet in the tavern and become something of a party. The Mad Jester was originally just meant to be a villain for Hrothgar to feud with, a goal for him to pursue after. Anyways my point is that our characters should probably all meet and we should all probably get out of the tavern and do stuff. The Mad God and the Jester as well as the Infamous should make good villains, so that's fine but we need to do other stuff too. This is the first role play I've game mastered in years and I am enjoying it but I've made a few mistakes.

Changed my mind, I wan't to reveal Hrothgar's story as the roleplay goes along.
