Current As someone else mentioned, the site seems to be in a bit of a lull - slow. I've been here more than 10 years and slow times like this are pretty far and few between.

Death was not what you expected. It was neither the heaven you were promised nor was it the black void that you were convinced it was. Instead it was an infinite tunnel of memories, sharpened to perfect recall, as if reliving your entire life for eternity. All the joys, despairs, heroic feats, defeats, and even the very moment that you past away, as if the universe was keeping your existence bottled for safe keeping.

Strangely, you cannot seem to remember how long this eternity lasted or how many times you relived your life - was it only a hundred times or hundreds of thousands? Finally, however, you reached the end of the road. All your memories suddenly go blank only to be replaced by the image of a woman, robed in the purest of white and skin nearly as pale as snow. She looks down, a cowl permanently covering her eyes as she points down. You follow her direction and your gaze is met by a strange sight indeed - a familiar land, where you once lived, however it is covered by a permafrost and darkness. Before you can even attempt to protest this scene, her otherworldy voice echos against the void, "I have kept you for this very reason, my precious soul. She is dark and cold and dying - you and your brethren shall breath life into her once more. You must find the source of this death. The World is calling you..."

Premise...

You will craft a hero, one that was a legend in their time and has long since passed away, but their deeds and myths have survived the passage of time. However, they have been reborn into this new reality, one where the land is dying, covered with permafrost, and a source of evil eats away at the World. The strange woman from the vision has hand picked your character for this task - be it because they saved the land, stopped a great evil, or spread goodness across the land or any number of great heroic deeds.

All characters will start in the same location with the same rather cryptic message to save the World from an unknown "death." This is an epic adventure in a somewhat dark fantasy with the goal of battling one of the greatest evils to have existed yet. There is the mystery of what it is of course and the party will grow and fight together. However it is expected that characters are made in such a way to promote a community amongst themselves, so loners and anti-heroes are discouraged (but not banned).

Right now this is simply an interest check (I can be a rather busy woman), so here is hoping that I can gather heroes for this journey! Feel free to let your imagination run wild with possibilities of who your hero might be, what legends they inspired, and what it is they bring to the table that is uniquely them. <3

[♪ Battle Music] Covering her eyes for a moment as the flash ripped the snake man in front of her, she sneered slightly in response to its sheer will power. It was in half and yet it still continued to push onwards, making her wonder if it was something instinctual in the creature or that perhaps her music had a stranger impact than she realized - it was only the second time she used it after all.

Regardless, she gracefully rolled to its injured side as it swung towards her and jammed her short sword against it's neck and let it bleed out as it gasped for air to breath - finally, it was down, though it seemed a bit more hardy or stubborn than the others. The chaos of the field had left a few others on the ground as well as her allies assisting. As Alm crashed into the new group of soldiers, whom seemed less experienced, she did a small twirl to ease the pain of those still fighting - though it was not even near the level of healing Pox or Garret would need.

As Hafrbjǫrn charged with Alm, her gaze went to her father meeting in battle with the queen. If anyone needed extra assistance it was him and with a swift flick of her sword, an energetic tune whistled towards him, granting him extra speed to fight the bitch. If she went down, mayhaps the rest of the snake creatures would bow out and stop posing a threat. One could hope. With one final flick, she sent energies towards Sybille as well, to help complete that spell of hers.

[♪ Battle Music] She expected the next course, swirling as if in dance around the snake's attacks, though admittedly he got off a scratch or two - but what battle did one leave without injuries? She gritted her teeth easily through the stings and quickly found her opportunity.

As the snakeman lifted his blade above his head, she stood still only long enough to faint the beast into an attack before rolling to the side. As it came crashing down, she tried her best to jump onto the blade safely, keeping it grounded. However the warning snapped at her, causing her eyes to glance towards the cracked soul stone. With quicken reflexes from her magic before, she jumped backwards into a roll, leaving the snake man in surprise as the stone burst in force right in front of it's face.
I'm gonna take a bath then post. =)
