People go about their daily lives going through the same motions day by day all for the pursuit of some goal, dream or simply responsibility. Written and unwritten laws guide the actions of people for better or worse as they work to squeeze together a living or hold onto their way of life. This monotonous ritual has existed for centuries, continues today and will for the foreseeable future.
At least that’s what most believed would be the case that is until the ‘Event’ transpired destroying the very fabric of society.
The ‘Event’ happened in one instant shattering the lives of everyone within the city of Naveria, people looked towards the sky as a malicious entity known only as Mr. Descent cast a grim shadow over society and destroyed the lives of every person living there, now branded by his mark he’s forced you to make a decision, kill or be killed.
Everyone around you has now become an enemy, what friends you had, what family exists in your life they’re little more than obstacles standing in the way of your continued existence, what love you had for each other seems non-existent as you stare into the fear ridden eyes of those you once considered close.
The lives of the citizens of Naveria are suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of chaos created by a fiend that seems to enjoy the suffering of all mankind and his influence is slowly spreading.
Among the suffering a select few will hear the voice of the only person that can offer any salvation to them and the rest of the city,
This story is about the trials faced by a group of people wishing to free themselves of a forced fate and the suffering they will both have to endure and provide to endure the ‘Event’ and its sick purpose.
Will you stand on the bodies of others to live or will you stay your hand and fall like many others before you, make your choice.
Thanks for taking the time to read this roleplay, this is actually the second time I’ve put this roleplay up, I won’t go into detail but sadly the first attempt fell due to drops in the beginning. I was creating a new story and decided to try this story again since I enjoy it. If you’re still interested please read on.
This roleplay has situations where your character can die and has powerful NPC’s divided into Tiers that require some form of teamwork to overcome.
A large point of the roleplay is the decisions your characters will have to make, the main purpose is character development and though the story is linear there are plenty of opportunities presented for growth and choosing one path may limit another further down the road.
Anyway if anyone’s interested let me know, if there’s enough I’ll put up an OOC ASAP. Due to the nature of the roleplay I can’t take in too many so about four or five, maybe more depending. Here are the rules and some notes for more info but feel free to ask questions if something doesn't make sense or you have some constructive criticism.
Decision making is a large part of the roleplay, if for whatever reason you can’t make the decision I will make one or if the time limit expires(4 to 5 days) I’ll do that, however in such a case I may choose the one that will hurt the group later so I wouldn't advise doing this often.
Decisions are a large part of the roleplay, your actions will either help or hurt the group possibly both, work together when the decisions come to play, think hard when the decision is yours alone as you’ll effect those around you.
I update as new information comes available, I’ll always inform when I add things and where I add it to. You’re not required to check it out but if it’s a character I’d recommended taking a look.
“Routes” exist in the roleplay, depending on decisions your character may be exposed to something different than the others, dying even has a personal road so be prepared for that possibility.
Magic is active in this roleplay but until the ‘event’ your characters won’t be able to use it so keep it in mind. The 'event' will happen pretty early on so it won’t' be for that long.
Your character can die so keep that in mind, I have all kinds of tricks and traps hidden in the story just for that, however do keep in mind there’s nothing wrong with getting killed often, I set this up so there are multiple chances of it happening.
I will always give a warning when your character has a chance of dying. I’m already trying to kill you so I want to give you the possibility of surviving.
The warning will look like this at the top of my post “ID- John Mcshould dodge” The ID stands for imminent death and your characters name will follow after it which means one of your decisions may get you killed. At times it may say Everyone which means every character is at risk and that includes my own. I’ll always put it at the top of the post where it can happen so keep a close eye on events or situations in my post when that happens, sometimes I’ll give a subtle hint to what might end your life unless it’s painstakingly obvious then I won’t do anything, this isn't final destination and there aren't any death flags (Points for understand the reference) so don’t expect it every time…but if you catch it feel free act accordingly. If you do die I’ll add this in at the end of the following post. Death- John Mcdidn’t dodge just so there’s no confusion.
I am your best friend and worst enemy in this roleplay, as GM I already know the story and what each decision will bring. Sometimes I may lead you down the easy path…other times I’ll lead you down a bad path, I’ll offer my advice (In character of course) but understand that I intended to help and hurt so take it with a spoonful of salt.
Death is not the end of your character, should you die I can bring your character back from the dead easily within my next post so keep that in mind, they’ll retain all memories of everything including their death, they’ll be the same person without any changes. Just let me know if you don’t want me to bring them back and I will wait.
Just to be clear my character will never make any decisions unless for the reason listed above as that would be cheating but they will be involved in the discussion. They also aren’t immortal either; if we fight together and you die then my character can die as well if the enemy is really that strong. I put the possibility of death down with each decision made; they suffer the same chance of death they won’t magically dodge. I take liberties to make sure the information is properly given to you thus I can’t let them die in every situation circumstance but know that my characters lives are also in your hands. When it says ID-Everyone mine are included in the equation, heck it wouldn't be surprising to see. ID-GM’s awesome character, roleplayers equally awesome character so keep an eye out as there are ‘routes’ if mine die as well and some are pretty nasty.
Respect the tiers, enemies have tiers it’ll be further explained in the ‘Event’ section below but I can’t stress that enough. You are going to encounter some freakishly strong people that will require teamwork to take down. I don’t like Godmodding and I always give a warning what the tier of the person is before hand, if someone hurls something the size of the sun at you I gave fair warning, again I will always warn of death and I won’t make them so overpowered they can’t be beat. The more people you have help take them down the easier it is so use teamwork. Seriously use.your.friends/shields.
Leaking is meant to strengthen you character but it last half of a post, the remainder should be the kickback or it fading. This will be described in more detail via the ‘Event’ section below.
Follow the rules, this should go without saying but there in place for a reason.
No Godmodding- the characters are mortal in every sense of the word keep this in mind, let them have flaws and faults.
No Metagaming- with the way the roleplay works this can be pretty difficult but I ask that you avoid it as much as possible, especially when it comes to information use. I’d like you to look through your characters eyes at decisions. I’m fine with you recognizing the OOC warning signs, that’s absolutely permitted but it’s meant as just that a warning.
Romance is fine but let’s keep things PG-13 in terms of relations between characters, the drill is fade to black or continue it somewhere else the same holds true here.
I’m alright with swearing but avoid going overboard. Every other sentence is an example of overboard.
Two paragraphs minimum- I ask this so that everyone has something to respond too and to understand your character more, in interactions if it’s a paragraph I’m alright with that and I understand writers block hits occasionally just avoid doing it repetitiously.
Be considerate of your other roleplayers both in the IC and OOC as well, it would be a huge bother if arguments start in the OOC so just be cool. Discussions are fine arguments not so much.
Time limit- There is a time limit on this role-play; I’ll wait four to five days before I move things along. I understand that responsibilities and the such will keep you from posting it’s the same for me but I would like to keep things moving as much as possible.
If for whatever reason you have trouble with posting or have to leave just let me know.
There is a good chance your character will die, an extremely good chance at least once. Because of this I’ll have to autohit your character should that time come, by joining you’re giving me permission to do so in that situation. I will not do it in any other situation but I want that knowledge known to avoid any misunderstanding.
If anything confuses you, now or in the future don’t hesitate to ask me about it, if it’s something personal about your character then PM me.
Everyone in this RP is human; sorry if you wanted to be something else but I’m afraid human is absolutely a necessity.
Due to the nature of the roleplay I can’t take in too many characters, I’ll put a notice up when that’s the case but you never know what can happen. If I put the notice it up feel free to inquire about open spots I’ll keep you in mind should anything happen.
Come in with an open mind some of the ‘routes’ are dark and I will touch on multiple things in the story. Come in with an open mind is what I mean. I won’t insult beliefs or anything of the sort but expect to see some questionable things. If I do offend you in anyway let me know via PM.
In the character sheet put a 1 where it says Tier, it’s needed and it lets me know you read and understand the rules.
Doesn’t really make sense as a rule but I’d like it you enjoyed yourself. The story has light and dark parts to it, character development and all that, it’s meant to be fun and I’ll do what I can entertain.
