Crystallis

This game will be played here, the Discord is for chat and prep.

Yes, and good work finding the game, it was one of my favorites growing up and one of the first adventure RPGs I ever played all the way through. This world is loosely based on the game. The wizards guarding the swords, Draygon, and the weapon system in the floating tower are major plot motivators. The lieutenants are new, based on letting people play the villain if they like. There will be more than 4 wizards and swords, and a bigger world to play in.

I'm also taking notes from this game: Ultima: Quest of the Avatar From which I plan on pulling the character classes for the people of the world that you guys can play, however I'm sorry to say that I haven't gotten that part up yet. Expect to see a list in the character section soon.

I posted in the OOC without everything being completely put together, I could've put this in the Interest section, but I like to feel like I'm building, and I would love to build collaboratively with you all.

Crystallis

Welcome to the world of Crystallis!

A fantasy adventure where you can play any number of characters from:

• Oracle: one of the chosen who awaken in this world with a destiny to save it.
• Person of the Realm: one of the people who live in this world and desire to save it along with the Oracles.
• Evil Lieutenant: One of Draygon's evil lieutenants who desire chaos, destruction, and suffering. Their job is to stop the Oracles from succeeding.
• Incredible Beasts: The world is filled with incredible beasts of your own creation, choose your beast and aid either the Oracles or the Lieutenants, save the world or destroy the world, the choice is yours.
• Whatever your imagination can create, I'm willing to work with you to create something or someone whom you desire to be.

---

The world of Crystallis is fluid, powers and abilities can vary greatly, this RP is open to imaginative play.
However, there are some rules.

• I play Draygon, the BBEG, and I play Wizards who are spread throughout the world. I also play the challenges and monsters who exist to help you grow. Lastly I play Asra, an enigmatic entity that can communicate with the Oracles and help guide them on their quest.
• There are magical swords of elemental capability. The Oracles are made to wield the swords and they are found at specific villages throughout the world. If you don't like the sword you have you can trade it with another player or find another sword.
• All lieutenants will have a weakness against the swords, some more than others. If a lieutenant finds one of the swords then they can use it, the Oracles are not protected against the power of the swords.
• Creative characters and abilities are welcome, however they have to be approved before you can post in IC so that we can prevent any over powered peoples.

Contact me or post in the OOC if you want to play. This RP is meant to be fun and easy, a stress reliever at the end of the day with little rules other than to respect each other and do good work.

There is a Discord chat thread HERE but you don't have to join the chat to play, I know some people don't like to use Discord.

Crystallis

ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION

The day was beautiful, bright and clear. The light sparkled off the wet, moss covered tree limbs granting the swamp a speckle of fantasty. An old, black robed wizard puttered out of his house, leaning heavily on his walking stick, taking measured, deliberate steps to the cave where he would perform his familiar ritual. He did not know what the word "diagnostic' meant, but he knew that if the shrine said "diagnostic.... complete" then his duty was performed and the gods would be happy, whatever gods there were who created the thing. The old wizard harrumphed, and made his way to the cave.

The child under the crystalline glass of was immobile, frozen in some unnatural state of perpetual sleep. They never decayed, these strange, beautiful children spread throughout the world, they just laid there in perfect peace, frozen until the time foretold. The prophecy was oblique, as all prophecy's are, an almost non-sensical poem: All sectors under threat... Harbinger has reactivated... awaken Asra... begin Crystallis protocols... awaken the Oracles... According to the ancient wizard craft the Oracles were the children, but Harbinger? Asra? Crystallis? none of that made sense. A part of the old man was curious to know what the ancients were thinking when they planted these children across the world. Another part of him didn't want to know, because something about the existence of these children, these Oracles, felt like the coming of the end of the world.

The Harbinger has Reactivated...

Draygon's Castle

Before Draygon's thrown are his 12 lieutenants, kneeling in deference, awaiting his command

	"You have done well in bringing me the sword Jabberwocky. With this item.... this WEAPON... we shall reign upon this world a nightmare of our creation. We will remake the world in our image. Go, and begin...."

The Harbinger

Crystallis and the other swords are keys which function with Harbinger to control weather, electromagnetic energy, and unlock the weapon systems of the tower itself.

Centuries ago the world ended. The people of that time made miracles of technology, they had discovered how to manipulate the genome, defy gravity, and how to harness the very powers of nature. This world of strange and wondrous things was protected by a guardian, an ever present sentinel, that they called, The Harbinger. The Harbinger was a weapon system that maintained altitude in the stratosphere, just below the stars. It had the power to surveil the world, and the people of the time decided that to insure peace it would be the only accumulation of weapons of mass destruction. The Harbinger was trusted to bring an everlasting peace, and it worked. Civilization advanced, technology and science leap-frogged into unimaginable discoveries... but it ended in a moment.

For some reason unknown the A.I. which operated the Harbinger's weapon systems turned on the world; instead of being a protector, it became the destroyer.

As the rogue weapon delivery system devastated the planet with natural disasters and fire bombs, the scientists, in a stroke of brilliant fore-thought, activated a resource to stop Harbinger and save the world! The Oracle protocol was initiated... but by that time it was too late.

Nature has grown back, but everything is changed. The genetically enhanced animals of the old world have repopulated and rebalanced the ecosystem. Technology has reverted back to a primitive state, but remnants of old tech are found everywhere by the curious and brave. This new world will forever have the finger print of the techno-geniuses of the past. It is into this beautiful, strange reality that our story takes place.

Sarah

Kensu's Island

"Sa.... Sarah wake up...." a musical, sing song voice whispered gently in Sarah's ear. The Oracle began to rouse as the pod hissed and cold air blew out from vents. "Sarah you must wake up, there is little time." Sarah opened her eyes. She could see the little fairy like creature flutter in and out of existence in her peripheral vision.

"Good... good... I am Asra. I don't have much time, but I will return when I can. You are safe, and all your questions will be answered, in time. For now seek the one called Kensu, he lives on this island and will gu..." The fairy blinked out of existence, leaving Sarah in a state of mystery.

YOUR NEXT STEPS

You've awoken alone in your pod in a cave. To the south of the cave is a small fishing village. The village is quiet and peaceful, there are birds but you don't see any people. Take stock of your situation and explore the village using the picture posted above as reference. Look for Kensu, he's somewhere on the island.

Stephanie

Tinkertown

"Stephanie... Stephanie wake up!" A musical fairy voice piped in Stephanie's ears. The young girl began to stir. "Oh, Good. Stephanie, I am Asra. I am so sorry Stephanie, but there's no time. There's no....." The holographic image of the fairy disappeared. The pod hissed and the lid began to open.

YOUR NEXT STEPS

Tinkertown is situated high on the mountain tops. You've woken up inside of a comfortable pagoda that looks like it was built around your pod. You are completely alone.

The people of the town are explorers and archeologists; Tinkers, not warriors. They are currently being attacked by a group of wild bear lizards

Your job is to make a decision about the what to do next. Be reasonable, these Bear-lizards are fearsome creatures who are not easy to kill, and you have just woken up from a long cryo-sleep so your disoriented, both emotionally and physically. You can choose to fight the monsters, run, or whatever, it's up to you.

Inside of your pod are warmer clothes and a letter from your mom and dad, that is all. Good luck
