Look at you posers, having to bang dragons or sell your soul for magic when you could just play a lute for some. Anyways, here's Wonderwall. - Bards

@Kenaron Yeah, I believe there should be different types of dragons; would explain why there's a pantheon of them being worshipped and why they will fight amongst one another sometimes.
A location I just thought up of: the Glade of Lost Knights

Deep within the ice-swept forests of Hyloth is a clearing with snow that never stops and suits of armor frozen in time. Once a regal army of knights on an impossible mission, their armor now faded and aged, joints rusting with a coating a snow, swords still clutched firmly in long dead hands.

When the crown prince of Walynr went missing, the Knights of the Velvet Flame immediately took a penitence quest to find the young prince. Overcome with grief and self loathing, the traditional guards of the royal family set out to find the prince, no matter how far they would have to go. With their banners raised high and mounted upon noble steeds, it would be the last time these brave knights would be seen.

In a tale now often sung of by bards and myth weavers, tragedy struck the Knights of the Velvet Flame who were hit with one unfortuante event after another. The wagons containing their rations where lost when they tumble over a cliff, bandits and monsters beset upon them at every turn and storms followed them wherever they went. The Frozen Forest of Hyloth would become their graves as what was once a proud order of over a thousand knights became less than one hundred ragged corpses walking towards death.

Yet, the persisted and marched into the forest, no longer on horses having eaten them long ago. They called for the prince with their fading voices and dying breaths. One by one the knights began to fall, consumed by starvation, too weak to move in their heavy armor until at last their Grandmaster, clutching their tattered standard, fell to the ground, the name of the prince on his frostbitten lips.

Declared lost by the kingdom, these knights were never found and their withered bodies and travelled armor became covered with snow, their souls locked within their armor. But so honorable where they that even in death they have not forgotten their knightly vows and legend says that should anyone within the glade call for aid, the suits of battered armor will rise up and defend those who cannot. Having failed to protect their prince, they swore to never again let someone be harmed in their presence, even in death.
My take on the Frankenstein:

The dragons, while often distant and seemingly uncaring, know when they are threaten and will act quickly to dispose of those who threaten them. Such was the case with an ancient king who wanted to become the strongest man to have ever lived and then going beyond it. He invested countless hours and his entire kingdom's wealth into research and study, bankrupting his people. But as his subjects laid starving and dying, their cries deft to his ears, he orders his host of mages to begin the rituals that would transform him into a god.

Sensing this, the dragons intervened and wove their own magic into the ritual, cursing it and the king. With an explosion followed by a brilliant black light, the king's castle was shattered and the streets where now empty of all life; no more guards, no more beggars, no more people. What had happened was due to the dragon's interference, the king had merged with all the citizens who he had tortured and oppressed to get the resources for this project, turned into a grotesque being instead of the magnificent god he had hope.

Driven mad by the souls of those he had under him, the kingdom quickly collapsed and all those left fled out of fear of the creature that now rule the broken lands from atop a ruined castle, howling and crying at its own misfortune. Now, no one knows the king's name nor the realm he once ruled, referred to as only the Forlorn King Reborn. Legends state that to this day anyone who nears the castle grounds will hear an unsettling eldritch howl that can break the will of even the bravest of men.

They say you can judge a man’s character by the company he surrounds himself with. If that was the case then Lewis was practically a ghost, invisible to the rest of the tavern. For all his efforts, Lewis never really got much from it. He was no famous, wealthy Bargain Hunter who had a legion of brave veterans in the finest armor with a herd of maidens and bards who chased after them, wanting to get closer and turn their ever whisper into tales of legend. As one of such famous groups party on the other side of the tavern, Lewis just grunted into his drink, jealously undeniable in his eyes that darted from side to side looking for danger.

A gang of rather unpleasant fellows had been hunting Lewis down in these part for the past few days for some stupid reason, foolish really. Quite an overreaction to Lewis, all he did was sleep with a Wallord’s daughter. Damn warlords need to learn how to take things in stride, wasn’t like he forced himself on her but idiots will be idiots. Could have been worse. At least it was him, a well-dressed and mannered man of House Nike and not some Nevergro or something. Fixing his hood and cloak, Lewis’s eyes affixed themselves to the door of the tavern, tracking every slight ding and swooshing open of the handmade doors. This place used to be a Feasting Court for the obese Ambulcatorii before the likes of Prince Oliver the Twisted and his retinue of Suburban Knights slaughtered them to a man and attempted to set up their own kingdom, only to leave in a frustrated rage when they failed to build anything to their liking. Since then, its become a haven for outcasts, bandits, adventurers and of course, Bargain Hunters.

But a few hours ago Lewis had put up a bold poster calling for “brave, courageous adventurers” who were “seeking fame and glory” in his most “famed and fortunate company”. Even though he knew his name carried little prestige behind it, the veteran Bargain Hunter hoped that it would at least attract some people. A company of greenhorn jackasses make good meat shields if nothing else provided they fell for Lewis’s bullshit. Waving a hand for another round of Bratenbarry’s Brew of Berry, the man’s wait continued. He wasn’t a lightweight and had time to kill before (hopefully) netting some results. Besides, the berry brew actually tasted okay and Lewis was sure it wasn’t made with piss.

OOC NOTES:
Welcome to the Wal-World IC!
This first part is the obligatory “everyone gather together” segment for everyone to meet up and stuff.
Actual progression won’t be happening just yet but when it does, I assure you it’ll be fast.
Feel free to puppet Lewis a little bit if you want him to respond to your character’s greeting or something like that.

Welcome

Based upon the /tg/ homebrew setting Walmart Apocalypse, this RP will be set within the confines of one of many mega Walmarts that people have flocked too when the world ended. Now how big are these megawalmarts you might ask? Try "the size of small countries"; these places are massive and seemingly go on forever and had their own residential blocks in the ages past, watched over by the eternally vigilant and murderous Stockerbots who both restock the sheleves and brutally slaughter anyone committing a crime. Given that everyone is basically committing some crime by simply having to "shoplift" to survive, just about everyone is a target so do try your best to say away from them.

As for what this RP will entail, it is based on a group of Bargain Hunters, a catch all term for mercenaries, explorers and adventurers. The group will go through various biomes, cultures and peoples all without suffering horrible fates (hopefully). Given as the "canon" (the linked page)lore is some what sparse, lore development and world building will also be a part.

CSs will be given the "mob democracy" review in which everyone gets to review and critique each other's character but I as GM will have final say. That said, come into this RP knowing that I can be a hardass GM at times and that there will still be limits as to what your characters will be like (ie having guns is something that will be heavily looked into) as well as being able to write at a high casual level and remain level headed and accept that things will not always make scientific sense.


Rules

  • Be Mature and Follow Basic Rules - Don't be a dick, godmodder, poor sport, metagamer, keep interpersonal conflicts out of OOC, etc. Basic RPing manners really.
  • GM is God - My word is hallowed law and my will shall be done. I am a hardass GM but I do tend to be benevolent unless something requires me to be otherwise in which case I will become a hardass. I also reserve the right to retcon things and break my own rules as I see fit.
  • Timely, Good Posts - Try and post regularly, I'm not going to make any strict posting requirements but do try and stay active OOC/IC. If you have to drop out, please tell me; I don't hate when people drop and tell me, I do when they don't. I also suspect that people should be able to write decently length posts, nothing overboard but I will go after you if you make a 3 sentence post or something.
  • Have Fun - Seriously, this is all for shits and giggles and mocking consumerist culture and capitalism and stuff like that. If you have any ideas that you think would improve the RP/world in some way, do speak up.


CS Guide

Here is the CS Guide. I'm implementing "mob democracy" in that people can comment and offer suggestions to other people's characters provided they stay civil. Final approval however is still in the hands of the GM. Do make sure that your character is logical to established "lore" though.




Lore

Here is the storage place for anything homebrew that we make in the RP. Terms, equipment, factions, people, lore, etc. Shall be used shortly.

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

Nah, but there may be a little flirting and maybe a relationship or two. If it can happen in the Walking Dead Games it can happen in a Mutant Apocalypse.


Still, I didn't know "a little flirting and maybe a relationship or two" requires everyone to put it down.
<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

Because my gaydar is broken.

25 people trapped in a hostile city, there is sure to be a bit of that 'good to be alive' hooking up happening at somepoint and it'd be helpful if we knew what part of the garden we should throwing our seeds in.


So... sex is going to be a major part of the RP and something you are expecting people to engage in instead of I don't know, doing their job and generally trying to survive? I wasn't aware that this was going to be a major component of the RP.
@Dynamo FrokaneOut of curiosity, but why do we need to put down sexualities in the CSs? Seems like a bit of a frivolous detail unless you are going to make it a major part of the RP.
