The Great Dragon War

@Lunamaria Hawke@TruckKun

*puts on lore master robes and glasses*

*Ahem*

So from what I've gleaned from the song lyrics and the premise of this RP--

Before the empire rose, before civilization took hold of the land, dragons were free and lived without a care.

But then humans being dickheads themselves, they began enslaving/killing dragons, burning their nests, and eradicating their younglings (breaking eggs/infanticide)

The dragons, fed up with the humans, are now waging war against them, led by a powerful dragon warlord (think Alduin or Parthurnaax from Skyrim).

Naturally, the emperor--and the empire as a whole--fabricates lies that the dragons are the aggressors. Possibly, they paint them as nothing but bloodthirsty demons, intent on devouring every living soul and spreading destruction and chaos.

We, the player characters, are vassal lords of the empire. Though we have been loyal for centuries (or however long this empire existed), what we discover in the Blachorian Mountains, and hear from the dragon warlord himself, causes us to become sympathetic. Thus, we--and the small states we rule over--defect from the empire and join the dragons.

Now the question is this: Do we seek conquest---or do we seek peace?

@GeminiChaos Ooh I like the sound of that! ^^ Thief is actually one of the classes I was planning to include!

@POOHEAD189 Yeah about the same. Work week just started, so I'll be busy during the evenings--even busier with the GM on vacation (fml) So as soon as I got time, I'll start banging out the RP.

Who's Interested in a Dark Fantasy RP?

@Goon @Lunamaria HawkeWelcome! ^^ I try not to adhere to any dice rolling mechanics or rigid systems. This allows for more freedom and a focus on storytelling instead of stats. Here's a list of the playable magic classes however if you're interested:

Classes

Witch

The witch, or warlock for the male variant, is a mystical being born on the fringes of society. They focus on control and debuffs, using hexes to hamper enemies. Key themes include supernatural knowledge, potion brewing, and, often, a deep bond with a familiar.

While some witches form pacts with demons to further their power, thus becoming champions of evil, others oppose the dark forces and use their power for the good of all. However, despite having benevolent intentions, witches are at odds with the religiously affiliated, especially clerics.

Cleric

Clerics are holy warriors often in service to a patron divine and/or belonging to a religious order. They are clad from head to toe in heavy plate armor, emblazoned with the sigil of their faith, and wield heavy blunt weapons such as war hammers and maces to crush the unholy under the weight of their god(s).

As soldiers of the divine, Clerics are highly adept in the use of holy magic or "miracles" as they proclaim. These include summoning fields of protection, banishing undead, exorcising demons, healing, dispelling curses, and curing diseases.

Since all clerics favor heavy armor, they move much slower in combat but have a higher defense than any other class.

Scholar

The scholar is an academic of the Scholia Arcana - the only school of magic left in the world. They are focused on expanding their knowledge, specifically in searching outside the natural world and exploring possibilities beyond the stars. This led to the discovery of eldritch magic, or cosmic magic, as it is referred to in the school.

Cosmic magic focuses on drawing energy from the void of space to manifest into powerful sorceries. Although, it can be dangerous to the wielder as it is to their foes.

Scholars channel their magic through enchanted grimoires and wands they carry with them at all times.

@Fetzen@POOHEAD189 If you guys are still interested, I think we might have enough to start the OOC.

"You're Mine!" (Dark Fantasy Romance/MxF Only/Seeking F)

Yes, I know it's AI slop! I couldn't find a decent picture! \(>\\\<)/

The men-at-arms dragged her through the towering wooden doors, iron fingers bruising her arms as she kicked and cursed through clenched teeth. Chains dangled from her wrists. Her eyes blazed with fury.
Before the raised dais, she was thrown to her knees, the weight of her failure crashing down upon her shoulders.
Around her, the lifeless bodies of her men lay strewn like broken dolls, rusted steel congealing with fresh gore. Blood seeped across the flagstones, streaking toward her in a steady stream like an accusatory tide.
The princess averted her gaze from their vacant stares, her heart sinking deep into her chest. Every breath she drew was heavy with despair. And yet, she lifted her eyes defiantly towards the figure seated upon the throne. Her throne.
Gerard the Conqueror laughed heartily as he leaned on his broadsword, his gauntleted hands resting on the pommel. A satisfied grin parted his lips.
"Well now," he drawled in a thick, velvety voice. His sharp yellow eyes gleamed with amusement as they swept across his captive, tracing the strong lines of her bloodied, scarred face.
“The Princess of Aelinore, fierce as any man–perhaps fiercer.”
The Princess glared, teeth bared between her captors. Clumps of blood-matted hair fell into her eyes as she thrashed, prompting the guards to tighten their grip. “Gods damn you, Gerard!” She spat. “You black-hearted devil! One day, you will fall to my blade!”
Gerard’s laughter echoed through the hall like thunder. He rose to his full height, towering in impressive ebony mail. “You’ve tried before, pretty one.” He scoffed, stepping down from the dais onto the flagstones in slow, deliberate strides. He stood before the woman, staring down with a gloating expression.
“No man could defeat you in battle, and yet here you kneel, broken before me–Gerard: Scourge of Kingdoms. Your people are dead, your castle is mine, and your lands are nothing but ashes.”
The princess’s gaze dropped. His words stung like wasps. Her hands clenched into fists as tears welled in her eyes unbidden, held back by the sheer force of will. Gerard crouched, his grin growing wolfish. “I wonder, what else can I take from you? What would you offer in exchange for your life?”
Her head snapped up–and with a growl, she spat a bloody glob of saliva into his eye. Gerard wiped it away—laughing, then struck the princess with his gauntleted hand. Her head jerked sideways, her cheek flaring with a sharp pain.
“Damn you to hell!” She hissed.
Gerard clicked his tongue, “Such venom in such a pretty mouth. I wonder just how sweet it tastes.” He reached for her, his fingers curling.
In a blur of motion, she drove a spurred heel into one guard’s shin and wrenched from his grip as he howled. Then, she brought her knee violently into the groin of the other, forcing him to let go. The princess whirled towards the door– but Gerard’s hand grasped a fistful of her long hair.
The princess shrieked, clawing at his gauntleted fingers and twisting like a wild animal. His muscular arms wrapped around her, crushing her body against his and turning her around. With a cold hand, he grasped her chin, steel biting into her flesh as he tilted her face upwards. He gazed into her blazing eyes—then shoved his rough lips into hers.
All curses fell silent, all thrashing had ceased. Her head swam, her heartbeat pounding in her ears. In his grasp, her body went slack, Gerard pulling her closer and shoving his lips deeper.
At last, Gerard pulled away, throwing his head back with a long, blissful sigh, “By the gods, woman! Your lips are sweeter than any wine I’ve tasted!”
The princess recoiled and rammed her forehead into his blunt nose.
Gerard reeled back, blood pouring from his nostrils. He raised his gauntleted fist and struck her firm in the jaw.
The princess flew backwards, her head smacking against the cold stone. She lay sprawled on the floor, gazing up at the vaulted ceiling.
Her vision blurred as tears streamed down her dirtied face. Darkness closed in around her, and her breath slowed.
And then—silence.

And that is where the story begins---the Princess of Aelinore (YC) is held captive by Prince Gerard (MC) after he and his men conquered the land and took her castle. Gerard intends to marry the princess to cement his status as king--as well as use her to produce an heir.

The wedding is months away. A lot can happen in those months.

Will the princess break free of her captor?

Will she run away from him?

Or...will she fall for him?

I'm looking for something more story-focused. I'm more interested in the relationship aspect than I am the bedroom business. While I know some people enjoy writing smut, I don't particularly. If you need to get your jollies off, there are other ways. So expect Fade to Black when we get to those *ahem* moments. However, everything else is on the table. I'm fine with kissing (as you can tell from the snippet above) and maybe some other things, but I do not--and will not--write sex scenes.

If you're interested, PM me.

The title says it all.

I'm looking for a group of maybe four or more people. But three will suffice. I'm not picky.

I don't care how much you post, as long as you give me something good to work with. Quality over quantity, I always say.

If you can only write one line of text, so be it. I'm not going to judge you. I do ask that you use proper spelling and grammar however. No text speech or shorthand. If I have to hire an English professor just to understand your post, I will hunt you down and place a rabid ferret in your pants.

There will be some rules to follow, but they're just the typical RP guild rules. Be polite to others. Don't godmode or power-play. And if you're gonna do the awkward bump, take it to the PMs.

This RP takes inspiration from various sources, predominantly of the Dark Fantasy genre. These include:
-Dark Souls
-Vermis
-Berserk
-Darkest Dungeon
-The Witcher
-Lunacid
-King's Field
-80s Fantasy Movies (Think Excalibur, Legend, Hawk the Slayer, etc.)
-Gothic Horror
-A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones)
-The Green Knight

This RP may explore some heavy thematic content, which some players could find upsetting. You've been warned.

So, if you're interested, here's the story:

Crypt of the Nameless King

---

---

"It is said in the ages before, a king ruled over these lands.
A man without equal in brain or brawn.
But, he was a cruel king.
His foul deeds led to his name being forever stricken from the Annals of Lore.

Upon his death, the Nameless King was buried with all his treasures, deep in a crypt below the ruins of his ancient castle.
Many have gone in search of the crypt, seeking fame, riches, glory, the deepest desires of their heart.
Alas, none have returned.

So what sayest thou, traveler?

Dost thou seek the crypt?

Are you brave enough to venture beyond the safety of these walls, into a land ripe with peril?

If so, then you may find reward.

But beware.

For the path is treacherous, and death waits behind every corner.

Tis not wise to travel alone.

Find strong allies to aid you in your quest.

Would anyone be interested in a Dark Fantasy RP?

Think I'll move this to Casual <.<

EDIT: Ok... for some reason the interest check is in the Casual Roleplay thread.

Advent of the Succubus Queen (18+)

I'm also looking for a focus on sex over plot. 75:25 is an ideal ratio. I want the plot, I want the plot immensely, but, well, I'm horny. I like to masturbate to this kind of thing, so I want sex. And a lot of it.

@Sugar Princess

Cowgirls Don't Cry (FxA)

@honorandpride I might consider. Sorry, it's a pain for me to write so much between work and everything. I will say, I love the character and may have something in mind. Ah well. ^_^

Cowgirls Don't Cry (FxA)

Oh man, this is right up my alley! Sadly, I am nowhere near advanced. :(
