The Dark Bastion.

William Draconius said STUFF

I like. You might want to ajust it a little 'low and mid level characters' seems not to fit with the roleplay. he also seems a little antisocial. but other than that, Welcome to The Dark Bastion.

I'm quite fine with this with the exception of the combat with other towers, while I agree there is 'polotiks' going on all the time, there is no outright fighting between the towers. simply because last time it happened the towers locked down, no one could go in or out.

Also I'm about to re-edit the first post. so you guys might want to keep an eye on that.

Is this thing still alive?

I'd rather not have a Char having made the Black Bastion, as it gives them unprecedented rule and power. also the bastion is intricately linked to the forest itself (spoilers). but other than that I'll wait till you've finished up with it.

Roxy and Raphaezel are both welcome in the bastion.
Please Note; while this is a gathering place for every creature under the sun that probably wants to kill each other, There is a air of tolerable respect, you don't maim one another unless in challenged combat. you don't kill one another, no taking over anothers mind ect. while there aren't set laws about this if you don't abide by them you quickly find yourself without support from the other inhabitants of the Bastion. that dosn't mean you're not allowed to fight, it just means you can't rip the other guys arm of and beat him senseless with it.

The Dark Bastion.

Name; Shiro
Age (if applicable); 25
Race; Fallen Dragon
Race Explanation; he’s the messed up offspring of the forbidden union of dragon and deamon.
Personality; Shiro is warm and friendly, happy to help. However he runs by the creed ‘I won’t start it, but I will finish it’ Meaning that he holds grudges for far to long and often makes sure people won’t get back up if they challenge him. He’s gained a bit of a reputation as being quite dangerous if provoked.
History; He was left in the northern hills as a child. Hardened by the cold and learning the art of survival through growing up in such hellish conditions he soon found himself wondering widely through the northern areas, in such an area he found his first blade, stolen from a dead warrior he still has no idea what on earth it is made of, just that it hasn’t needed sharpening and still hasn’t rusted. Towards the ages of 18 he made his way deeper in to the south, finding more and more things of interest, eventually encountering some paladins who managed to brand him with a sealing mark before he escaped and made his way to the dark bastion.
Powers/skills; due to the sealing brand most of his powerful magic has been locked away. For now.
Survival skills; anywhere in the world, with anything and he’ll be fine.
Flight; he has wings after all.
Dark magic; due to his demonic blood he has access to most black and dark magic spells. Even if they are somewhat limited right now.
Elemental magic; same as above but due to his draconic blood
Hand to hand combat; most of his swordskills come from fighting wild beasts, so he doesn’t know the nuances of it but will still put up a fight.
Psi-armour; his mixed blood makes him highly resistant to Psychic attacks of most forms, and often lash back out (without his control) at the attacker.
Flame proofing; all dragons are fire proof, he is no different.
Shadow-kin; due to his demonic blood he is often called ‘one with the shadows’ meaning that like some undead shadow magic has almost no effect on him, however unlike undead It won’t heal him, you need normal healing spells for that.

Common Inventory; Shiro will often have his blade on him, along with a pair of smaller daggers he uses as back up, other than that he’ll have a pouch of money and a small belt pouch of useful bits, often consisting of a few of everything including throwing weapons. He also has a survival kit which has everything one would need to live in the wilds.

I didn't do that image! I can't draw to save my life.

The Dark Bastion.

Interest Check
__________
Welcome to the content of Athara. Let me take you on a quick tour of our Home.
Let us start in the north, a blasted realm of ice and snow, there is little that lives here, though to the western fringes of this icy mountain range the forest does encroach. the only things you are likely to find here is cold and death. To the east now, the civilized world of Athara, cities, villages and small farmsteads range here, drawing from the fertile land. This is only a small part of our world, less than 20% one could say, yet it holds the greatest population of humans. and almost all of them worship The goddess of cleansing light. Ah yes. her. we'll come on to that in a moment. Now. on to the real interest of our tour. The wood-sea This forest covers the western and southern parts of our world said to be planted in the first days by the old gods. they stretch over 2 kilometers in height and are often thicker than a house. and it is within this forest that the Dark Bastion lies.

Now, on to the goddess of cleansing light. she is a 'human only' goddess and even then only for those without magical powers. all others supposedly have to be 'purged' from this world. and those that have survived have retreated to the Dark Bastion. This structure fills the Wood-Sea. huge tunnels half sunk in to the ground hold massive market villages, miles wide, and hundreds of thousands long these tunnels connect massive towers of black stone. and within each one are enough houses to hold an entire city, spiraling upwards right towards the top.

Welcome to our continent of Athara.

So, This RP will have us playing the creatures in the Dark Bastion. You can play anything that isn't a 'holy' or 'rightious' creature, so warlocks are ok, as well as wizards but clerics and paladins aren't. Feel free to use any mythology, or just make one up. so long as it could be considered 'wrong' in the bounds set out above. However I am sorry to say there will be no rebellion against the oppressive religion or valiant last stand. This RP is about playing out the lost, forgotten, misbegotten and wronged creatures that are perceived as 'evil.'

Everyone will be in the same tower, The name of said tower is Blood Moon Tower. all the rooms are about the same size as a 3 bedroom flat.
Now, on to the Black Bastion itself. the top of the tower itself just about hits the clouds, the name of the tower comes from the massive lunar-capacitor at the top (its a huge set of mirrors that focus the magical energy of the moon in to a liquid). The Bastions themselves appear to be somewhat active, if not alive, For instance, while the care not for politics or fighting within the tower itself if any other tower or group of people were to lay siege to a tower it would lock itself down, rendering itself impregnable to all. These towers are intrinsically linked with the forest, if one was wanting to invade a tower they would need to cut down the entire forest, and well. that'd kill you, the forest protects itself. Within the towers Clans guilds often form, Guilds are of people with similar skills, so mages, assassins, ect. where as Clans are often just groups of people who work together. (these don't take much head in the story, you can just use them to enhance your writings). the tower itself does not have laws really, but there is a air of respect and lack of outright hostility. fights are fine, as challenging another to a duel, however, unless it was pre-agreed maiming and slaughter are not allowed, and those who break such rules often find themselves without the support of others within the tower, and unable to join guild or clan. Towers do not have a leader, just as the entire Black Bastion does not have a king. it is a 'free court' so to speak. That is not to say that some people try. its just that most people don't listen do them. Oh sure there's gangs and the ilk. but in such a power-dense area with more creatures who could blast you in to oblivion than you can shake a stick at they often don't get far.

Allright I'll get the OOC up asap. Probably within the next hour and a half. I'll start expanding on the story and a few of the finer details as we go.

Really? no one wants to explore the dark side?
