Reshusia, home of the Islaih Imperial rulership where man has strived for the past centuries with only itself to bicker with. Where humanity once lived in spaced out cities and towns, it soon was to become cramped and confined by the soon dominant species known as the Ushilion, an umbrella name for hundreds of creatures that were released during the Ruination Crisis. At the previous era, where the fall of the Kiriton Dynasty was caused by the Ruination Crisis, the entire central land-mass, Alkryte, was thought to be too dangerous to inhabit, and so the remainder of humanity pledged to never return, abandoning it during the final Dynasty's collapse and contamination of Alkryte. Using the oceans as a barrier and frontal line of defence against the abominations that rose from the Ruined Gate, humanity became isolated, but safe for as long as they needed. Such an act led to the formation of coastal defences, centralised cities and the founding of a new nation within Reshusia known as Limpith. Limpith was humanity's last hope, their last stand and their last chance at remaining existent in the harsh new world created by said Crisis. 

Several cities were set up from the ashes of their once great civilisation and dynasty, mostly designed to only protect, rather than for constant expansion. To name the greater ones, cities like Harther, Juliana, Nep and Turan, all formed their own coalition in order to produce the Islaih Empire. A series of rightful rulers stepped up to the task of holding humanity in order and peace, and successful it was. But the call to arms never rested, as countless upon countless men and women were offered to enlist and protect the watery borders of Limpith. Eventually, the 'Servicemen' were created, acting as a standalone division serving under the Emperor's orders independently. Whilst they did not serve under the regular military and militias dotted around the nation, they acted as a collection of trained individuals only used to combat the threats of the Ushilion, finding themselves not used and somewhat useless over many generations.

After a ruthless and almost overwhelming encounter with a singular large Ushilion, based around the watery borders, a handful of Servicemen find themselves forced to fight the Ushilion, like they were designed to, in a struggle for both survival. With the regular military only being capable of defending the large cities and towns of the Empire, the Servicemen are tasked with defending the fields, the hills and mountains of their homeland, before having to face the brutal reality across the channel, sent into the very heart of Alkryte in their own attempt to break down the Ushilion invasion...

Alkryte, being the centre landmass and the superior nation in Reshusia, was once the only home to humanity and its settlers. It became apparent that the land of order needed to be set into motion. Though time and tales usually talk of the larger dynasties that ruled the land, humanity was originally divided into states, where individual leaders governed their own policies and people under their own preferences. These times were usually referred to as the 'Youth Era', where humanity was at its youngest methods of understanding how civilisation worked. More of a laughable tale now, these times were constantly involving bloody wars and reformation of states until eventually the state of order came through.

The first state of order was the first of two dynasties. Whilst it wasn't officially agreed upon who was to take the throne and lead the people of Alkryte to salvation, the call for war eventually decided the outcome. The 'Uncertain reunification' of the Second Era saw the hundreds of states face off against one another, constantly forming alliances and betraying their own allies in order to remain on top. Days passed, and states fell. Months passed, and more crumbled. Years passed, and the states grew in mass. Millions of lives were caught in the bloodshed, and some questioned whether it was worth it. Rebellions within states emerged, and coups took place throughout the entire nation until eventually, the first dynasty became apparent. The ruthless leader of the Osloa State, Herma Nahu, took power over the other states as she became the first Queen of Alkryte, and humanity.

The Osloa Dynasty wasn't a long running dynasty, and only lasted a bad 342 years, where terror and corrupt legacies continued onwards throughout its time period. That was, until, the rise of their opposition became apparent. Under the name of Nei Kiriton, a civil war broke out, resulting in a blood two year conflict that ended the evil dynasty and gave the righteous power back into good hands. The Kiriton Dynasty was born.

The Kiriton Dynasty rose into power after the victory over the Osloa Dynasty during the 'Two year Civil War'. Ruling in a fair way which aimed to benefit the overall society rather than whoever sat in the throne, it thrived for many centuries during the expansion of Humanity. They began to create smaller towns, greater cities and an excess load of citizens to occupy the nation. Flourishing in their ways of colonising and expansion, they grew further and further into prosperity, only having to deal with a few uprisings and acts of terrorism along the way. They ruled rightfully for too many generations to come.

Whilst they were the leading Dynasty, they did have their own problems. Their control over certain regions seemed to lack, allowing warlords to rise in certain areas and create several small wars the Dynasty had to deal with. This didn't seem like an issue at first, but it proved to be a greater one as time went by. Triumphant in every conflict, there seemed to be nothing that could stop this chain of leaders and rulers, almost always backed by its own people who believed they were the key to salvation on Reshusia. And as a matter of fact, they were for a good amount of time. Right up until the end of the Third Era, considered to be the final era of overall peace, they managed to begin their works on machinery, firearms and different inventions that would shape the world. Until, the Ruination Crisis occurred, of course.

There was no telling of what created such an event, but the cause of it is very apparent. During the last months of the Third Era, the final Queen of the Kiriton Dynasty had given the accepting support of a new mining project to undergo. After the biggest mine in the Dynasty's power soon began to face problems with its terrain and how deep it was going to go, a project known as Grace and Arms was set into motion, hoping to mine a flourishing vein of complicated materials that would bring a graceful amount of resources towards the military and advancing in arms research and development. Whilst the project was successful for the first month, an unwanted and unpredictable discovery occurred right within those mines.

A small, prebuilt structure was found underground, leading to much controversy as to whether or not they should mine further. Panic arose, as for most of the time the humans were the only civilisation capable of building or massing together as a community, but the designs of these chambers they found seemed rather different from any historical accuracy in human life. Eventually, they built up the guts to send in a team of librarians, warriors, two wizards and the eldest son of the Queen into the building. Most of it was empty rooms, some larger than anything they could have ever imagined. As the days went by, the teams sent in went deeper and deeper every time, almost as if the structure went on for miles. Eventually, they came to what appeared to be a great hall, where a single lever was found.

As most of the contraptions in the structure seemed unable to work, it seemed only logical for the researchers to see if this one worked too, possibly to be used to open doors or somewhat. However, their ignorance and lack of caution then was the cause of this crisis, as upon pulling the leaver...something opened.

This opening started to pour out thousands of creatures, large and small, as they smashed and slithered their way out of the buried structure. No one knew what the lever opened, whether it was a portal or a chamber hiding these horrifying creatures. They advanced, straight out of the mining facility and into the open worlds. Towns and villages slowly began to be torn to bits, the citizens ripped to shreds by their unknown opposition. Many panicked, especially the Western side of the regions, and began to hold their ground as a large mass of the military were deployed nationwide. Eventually, boats were set, and daily trips back and forth across the channel were ready. The mass evacuation was prepared, designed to try and save as many people as possible. Before the first boat even set off, news spread that the Queen's home city had been over-run, and the panic became so apparent that every single evacuating soldier sped up the process, taking every civilian they could and pledging to never return to the lands, afraid that anyone who tried to return would be met by a strange array of creatures, unlike anything the continent had ever seen before.

The most common and symbol of the Ushilion species, these man-sized crawlers are capable of quite decent speeds, some able to outrun most men and women. The creature itself usually travels in large packs or alone in a few pairs, but they are deadly in whatever size or group. Swarmers can decimate limbs from the average man with great force, stabbing mostly and tearing with its barbed legs, whilst using the terrifying face of its own to rip specific holes into the bodies of a single man. They are most effective against a single man in pairs, but can be easily outclassed when faced by a group, if it doesn't take one or two of those in that group down before it dies itself. Their eyes glow an amber shade in the night, a key component in striking fear towards the prey it lurks towards.

The only known Ushilion that does not attack on sight, the Roamer walks alone or in mating trios across the land to only settle and walk as it pleases. It is very unclear what these creatures actually do usually and why their patterns of roaming are unknown, but sometimes they are subjected to swimming around in the shallow waters, occasionally near the Nation of Limpith. This is the most commonly seen Ushilion when it comes to the coastline guard of Limpith, as they tend to roam the beaches every now and then. Only when disturbed or somewhat irritated by unknown actions will it attack. They can be very brutal, sometimes taking a good few blows before even showing signs of pain. As if letting out rage inside of them, they will stop at nothing to redeem its peaceful agenda. Much like larger lobsters in the seas around Limpith, they grab and tear at their foes, making for a very devilish display for comrades to watch.

The smallest image of the 'Dragon-type' Ushilions, these beasts seem to specialise in attacking small groups, as well as larger armies when in packs and flocks. They are incredible deadly to the point of working both well on land and in the air, snatching and tearing at their prey to ensure a quick but gruesome death. Their minds seem only to focus on killing their opposition, and can be determined in what they do and when they do it. Unlike the previous two that are the size of a man, they are more like a large crocodile, split down the length of its own body. This specific 'Dragon-type' cannot arch its back nor stand on two legs, leaving it somewhat subjective to low blows and attacks from above. However, their image remains very terrifying to those who have actually encountered and survived them, which isn't many as of now.

The smallest of the fire-breathing Ushilions, the Pe'a Netal are a serpentine-like creature that works alone and can easily fight deadly conflicts with its same species if it comes across one. Their ability to slither makes them quite agile, especially in sieges on cities and climbing towers. Whilst their size alters drastically from a man-sized serpentine to a 'dragon' sized one, they are ruthless in their arts of ambushing and cutting off any available assistance its prey might get. They appear to be one of the more intelligent Ushilions, having ways of stalking prey for great distances and striking in places that seem best fit for its combat style. The under-belly can be weak, but that doesn't mean it can't take a small beating.

Though very rare, the Yoia No'ae stand at a ruthless 16 metres tall and roam alone, seemingly without any guidance or help of its similar species. They are disfigured man-like creatures that seem to focus on providing fear from its slow and daunting movement. This slow movement allows it to successfully act as a ramming shield for the smaller races in the Ushilion species. With several weak points only known to a few warriors and survivors that lurk within the lands of Alkryte, they can be taken down, but their presence is highly unknown. The thick skin and disgusting limbs armoured with claws make it an easy way of making men and women soldiers retreat in simple fear from its sight. Most that have seen it claim they do not know how it fights, because they ran away only when they had the first chance to.

The iconic image of the 'Dragon-type' Ushilions, these behemoths can be around 15 to 146 metres long, usually difficult to take down, if not impossible. They lurk mostly in the deepest regions of the lands contaminated with these creatures. Their iconic fire-breathing aspect matches the very same myths and legends that only the eldest of humans thought were true. No one has seemingly taken one down, and only the improving members of the Servicemen may be able to figure out its weaknesses. However, until then, it remains a figure of fear and destruction. Some of these have been recorded in the fall of Alkryte to destroy defences and walls, before leaving and allowing the rest of the Ushilions to do their bidding.

These have not been seen in recent centuries for a long time, but have recordings written in desperate tones from those who saw and managed to evacuate off the main-land. The recordings show similar drawings, all showing a similar armoured man-like stance with weaponry, all saying that they are able to talk or speak in many languages, most lost and forgotten, some of their own. Little is known about them, but many predict they are the masterminds behind the invading force, directing the large groups when they have the opportunity. Others disagree, and say that it can't be possible, as most creatures roam alone without any packs or organisation.

The Islaih Imperial rulership over the new nation of Limpith has proven to be a lot more fair than the previous Kiriton Dynasty in Alkryte. With a serious diplomacy of ministers and political advisers, the nation gets a fair amount of balance between military and civilian funding, where the safety and comfort of most citizens is maxed out alongside the development of new materials and armour for the military defending the island itself. First initially ruled by Edwin Islaih, the first emperor of humanity, he led the several cities in the area to be first built, enlisting the very foundation of humanity's survival straight from the get-go. This commitment has proven to give humanity the second chance it needed to try and defend itself against the Ushilion, despite there being no major contact from them since the Empire's arrival.

The Empire itself has had to deal with several rebellions who believed that humanity was doomed to fall, and they were only lying to the people when saying that they could prevail against such an invading threat. These were quickly shut down, as the military was now better trained and equipped than the previous era had shown. Its arsenal consists of many melee weapons, but a few divisions have access to firearms collected and modified from the evacuation of Alkryte, as well as several bowmen and crossbowmen divisions. The cannons range from the standard mobile artillery units found on fields and around towns to the siege cannons that mechanically lay down large suppressive fire from the walls of the greater cities. Some variants of rotary cannons have been in the making and are the recent R&D project for the current Empress's concerns.

The Servicemen are the official division assigned to combating the Ushilion, at least they initially were. Whilst they have been around for the greatest period of time in the Empire, they seemed to have become a shadow of its once former-self, where the lack of Ushilion has made them more of a bodyguard for the Emperors and Empresses of the Imperial system. Though, without a doubt, they are greater than the average soldier, usually given specialised armour that they can easily customise themselves, as well as a vast array of some-what powerful weapons both modified by themselves and by mages around. Whilst the military defend the cities if an invasion was to occur, these servicemen, both male and female, would be the first ones to intercept the Ushilion in the field, and eventually be taken for an expedition into the original homeland of humanity...

Welcome to the, hopeful, first chapter to the Reshusia series I have planned. A narrative fantasy/horror experience has been created to convey the experiences of characters when forced up against a foe like no other. In this roleplay, it'll focus on the current generation of the Servicemen, a personal tool for the empress consisting of warriors trained specifically to fight the Ushilion. However, as the threat of Ushilion invaders are not present, the focus on combating these monsters has dwindled downwards to the point of being unprepared. This is the resulting reason towards what'll be an early defeat as we take of the role of these characters in a struggle to balance the chances of survival in their homeland, where the invasion has officially begun.
