Currently closed, found someone. Thank you!
Aaand I'm back with yet another interest check, this time for a gritty, medieval/fantasy-style adventure.
But, basic things first:
1. I'm female IRL, but am capable of playing both male and female characters. NPCs will appear as needed, likely shared between us both.
2. As for pairings, I'm comfortable with both MxF and MxM.
3. Expect dark and mature themes - this goes for violence/gore, profanity and romance, so I'm looking for someone 18+.
4. This will be done through PMs.
5. If you can help contribute to the lore/throw in plot twists, I will likely love you forever.
6. Advanced, to me, means quality over quantity. I honestly don't care if you give me two paragraphs or ten as long as the writing's good.
7. I have a life and life is about to get real busy, so I might not be able to post every day. However, I will try my best to at least make once a week. If I cannot meet this deadline, I will let you know. Please do the same.
8. If you want to drop for any reason, tell me. Please. I'll understand.
9. No damsel-in-distress/overly submissive type characters. This goes for both genders. I want your character to stand as an equal to mine.
Plot:
At the realm’s beginning, the three creators looked upon man as a reflection of themselves – good and incorruptible. Until one amongst them fell – Aejas grew tired of his siblings’ love for the humans, and so set out determined to prove that darkness had taken root within the hearts of man. He succeeded – and all too well. Instead of realizing their mistake, the remaining two creators turned on their brother, blaming him for man’s fall and casting him down. In his hatred he seethed, transforming into a monstrous echo of his former self. In his rage the world opened, swallowing him into the nothingness below; there, he formed a world of his own malevolent design, a world which would become known as the Black Chasm where the souls of evil men were doomed eternally to serve Aejas’s cruel whims.
The kingdoms of Iveros and Heiden have always danced at the edge of open conflict, rivals since the death of the God-King Zaharis, descendent of the creator Taemor. Zaharis once united both kingdoms under the banner of the Ghracian Empire. The Dawn Guard, Ghracian warrior-mages, were famed in their day – supposedly undefeated in battle and who flew in upon the backs of dragons, striking fear into the hearts of their enemies. The guardsmen drove back Zaharis’s most infamous nemesis, the disgraced creator Aejas, and his army of grotesque thralls. Their valiant charge was led by the God-King himself. At the end of the long war, the weakened Zaharis cast Aejas back into the Chasm, breathing his last shortly after.
In what scholars described as the Great Mourning, Taemor and his sister Vannas no longer answered the prayers of men. Humanity was left on its own. Zaharis had but two children – twin sons who fought tooth and nail over the Empire their father left behind. In the end, it was decided that Ghracia would be split in half, forming Iveros to the cold north and Heiden to the warmer south. The Dawn Guard was no longer needed, and so its members were dispersed. And so it was as the years passed, each kingdom trying its hardest to outdo the other.
The story became a myth, told by parents to children.
Taemor’s Wrath, the sword of Zaharis, has always lain in Damas, the capital of Iveros, whilst the armor of Zaharis had its home in Heiden’s capital Asten. On one fateful day, Taemor’s Wrath went missing from the Iveros’s royal treasury. Incensed, the Iverian King Ethuin accused the Heidean King Kaelor of having stolen it. Kaelor denied the charge, and threatened to retaliate should the unwelcome accusations continue. Ethuin did not back down, and soon enough Iveros and Heiden were at war.
(Character A) is an illegitimate child of King Kaelor, leader of Heiden’s secretive Watchers and dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the theft. It is his/her hope that revealing the actual perpetrator would put the bloody war to an end, for at present Iveros appears to be winning. (Character B) is of military caste and one of King Ethuin’s most trusted generals, raised to fight and a veritable force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Taking a calculated risk, (Character A) goes undercover as an ordinary soldier, defecting from Heiden’s army to that of Iveros’s. At the same time, Heidean Watcher agents infiltrate the Iverian nobility, waiting for the opportunity to strike from within.
In the midst of the war, strange events begin to occur; men speaking of strange creatures emerging from the woods, of men possessed by demons. Aejas rises again, they whispered feverishly. (Character A) eventually tracks down the seemingly crazed former Iverian treasurer, missing and wanted for high treason since the theft. Said treasurer is found wandering the border between both kingdoms, mumbling dementedly about monsters. (Character A) is eventually discovered and caught by (Character B), who is out hunting men whom he/she presumed to have deserted the war effort. This where their tale begins.
In the progression of their quest, they will face the return of an ancient evil, and perhaps herald the rebirth of the fabled Dawn Guard. But can they stop the rising tide of darkness, or is it too late?
So yep, if you're interested, drop me a PM and such.
In your PM, please include:
- Pairing: MxF or MxM? If MxF, do you prefer to play M or F?
- Your preference of character: A or B?
- Any other ideas you might wanna add that will help expand the plot, changes etc. This bit is optional though. Also, character origins are not set in stone, so if you wanna alter anything about a character's background, please include that as well.
Thank ya~
