From Men to Gods

[Notorious Ghost]

( I want to see if this roleplay would perk any interest. I've posted it on another site but it hasn't gotten much interest at all. )

Six Months Before


"Captain I'm afraid that the situation down at Hawk's Peak is quite dire sir, we need reinforcements soon.. Before..."

"Before what?" The hand of the esteemed Captain DeFlu smashed down onto his desk. The scarred veteran looked up to see the frightened look of the low ranking guard who's expression seemed quite serious. "You really don't think that the end times are coming do you?" The man almost released a chuckle. "No boy, Hawk's Peak is fine, it's probably just a wolf or bear attack."

"N-no sir," the guard didn't want to be disrespectful of his superiors but he knew for a fact that the situation was beyond control. "It is them, the demons, they've come up from the ground. Took me and the whole patrol for a going for. Two of us are already dead sir, I saw those monsters destroy 'em. Please call for some reinforcements. Or let the Jarl know, he could send word to the king... Telling...-"

"Telling what?" DeFlu's face looked annoyed and irriated. "That you think that some myth sprouted to life and killed some of the guard? Do you realize the embrassment that would cause boy? Do you?!" His voice now perched at the edge of aggression. "Leave me before you loose your job."

"But Captain-"

"GO!" Both his fists slammed down and the man had to take a breath. Then he looked up his green eyes blood-shot. "...Go." His voice softened, and the guard quickly jolted off, closing the door behind him. Leaving the captian alone for a second. Sighing he stroked back his greying hair from his face and rolled his shoulders. Abominations, demons, heh it was only a tale made to get children to sleep, nothing more.

That was his first mistake...

At nightfall DeFlu's patrol from Hawk's Peak had failed to report, angry he was forced as captian of the guard to check out the situation himself. Groughly he suited himself up and got ready to make the hour or so trip to the mountain-edge site named Hawk's Peak. It would have been possible for him to contact more guards, maybe make the trip more safe for him, but he didn't bother. Nothing would happen.

That was his second mistake...

As he made the trip he made in the ebony night was fair, the wind gave off a slight warm heat which kept him from feeling the bitter cold of the upcoming fall season. Making his way towards the looming mountains, overhanging his city- Hayfir he thought he saw something, shadows of shapes moving up on the peaks. As he neared he shouted out quite loudly, "who goes there?! Come down at once!"

This was his final mistake.

Rushing down from the mountainside were creatures, creatures that could not be named, couldn't be even thought of... Nothing. Some were canine-like with bulging red eyes and long claws. Others were humanoid ghostly figures were seemed to sprout from black smog. DeFlu didn't have much chance to prepare and only managed to remove his greatsword when he was overwhelmed by the monsters...

"This is the end times..." Were the last words that he ever did murmur.

Today

The Kingdom of Volgrith has been overtaken by dark demon-like creatures said to be the signs of the "end times." These creatures have taken many lives and most people have had to take shelter in the cities that are protected, because their own villages and towns are unsafe. In the Halum (The Book of Gods) it states that the only way to defeat this evil would be to call upon the power of dragons. But dragons are only a myth, impossible to be true. The king has denied many searches to go out of the country into "The Beyond" is look for them, because it is thought to be only a suicide mission. Pointless in matter.

Our characters can have any background the user wishes, but in the end all will somehow bump into a man known as Jafeur, a wizard. He tells our characters that dragons do exist and we're the only ones in which have the power to find them, and to defeat the evil before the end times come crashing down. Though our character responses will probably differ we're all forced to go with him and to go to do non-trival tasks towards bringing the mighty beasts back.

But there's something that Jafeur isn't telling us, something that will either save or destroy the world, and eternity....

[[ The secret that Jafeur is keeping that the dragons don't exist and that our characters would actually turn out to be the dragons themselves. The tales of the beasts dragons is just a myth, but at the 'end times' men with souls capable to be compared to dragons will come. With the strength that the beasts would have, if they existed. Our characters would be these. ]]

I think it might have some potential for me, can you give any more details as to the characters your looking for? I.E. Mages, and stuff like that, or are we talking more realistic characters like a skilled demon hunter that uses a gun, and maybe hand to hand combat

[Gilgas]

This would definitely be something I'm interested in. I've had an idea for a dragon knight circling around the ol' brain drain for about 5 minutes.
It seems that this would be an ample opportunity to make a character like that.

can you give any more details as to the characters your looking for? I.E. Mages, and stuff like that

This.
