@Inkwell, there should probably be room for you to join.
@Elitestpotato, I'd like to point out that we're not on Earth. Small detail.

Oh, yes, hi all, I'm here. And I know exactly who I'll be. With any luck, this RP should start strong (provided RPGuild can stay up long enough for me to post).

Name: Torrens Igneus

Physical Form: Around 176cm (5'9") tall, his body shape is very human, save for the fact that his 'skin' is coloured a solid shade of red, and he also has two small horns on his head and a short, skinny tail. For a demon, he's pretty scrawny, and even by human standards he's not very muscular. He doesn't wear clothing, although as he lacks an anatomy he has nothing that needs covering up. He is also incandescent. At low levels of power the glow is only noticeable in darkness, although at higher levels of power it will become more obvious. The shade of his skin also becomes brighter as he grows more powerful.

Abilities: Torrens Igneus is the embodiment of heat and flame. He has no flesh, not even demon flesh. Instead his body is simply a shell for storing heat. Torrens absorbs heat and fire to gain in power, and he must consume regularly since the heat continuously leeches out of his body. He has the ability to actively draw on his internal reserves of heat and fire to create and manipulate fire, often in very creative and versatile ways. His body is always hot, with a temperature in proportion to his power, so his very touch often causes things to burst into flame and, given enough time or effort, can melt through metal and stone (power depending). In addition to this, his physical form is indestructible. Whenever he would normally take damage, he instead loses a portion of his energy to the surroundings. Similarly, coldness or, worse yet, water will conduct energy out of him faster than normal. If he is ever without any energy, his form hardens into a stone statue, idle until revived. It is also worth noting that Torrens' abilities aren't limited to normal fire. He can absorb and use more exotic forms of fire too, from sickening soulflame to the all-consuming Empryean, although he must first collect a sample of such flames since he is unable to inter-convert between them.

Personality: Torrens is highly cunning and quick-thinking, which allows him to put his powers to good use on the battlefield. He enjoys basking in fiery destruction (generally of his foes). He is also quite cavalier most of the time, and will happily taunt his foes. He would flirt more often too, if his very touch didn't immolate most people. Despite this, he is quite loyal to his boss and will seek to satisfactorily complete jobs assigned, for he knows the benefits of keeping a good reputation.

Wants/Needs: Mostly, Torrens just wants to watch the world burn- up close of course. He enjoys the thrill of destruction, and to feast on the flames. He'll also go to quite some lengths to get his hands on exotic forms of fire. In his down-time he likes to find a nice hot furnace or lava pit to rest in.

Relationships: He may be familiar with other demons, although it has been quite a long time. He makes every effort to be friendly to anyone with pyromancy abilities too.

Backstory: Torrens has long since left hell for the overworld, for he was bored with hell and sought excitement on the surface. He has served a couple of other Dungeon Keepers in previous ages, and now he finds himself here in this new world. He was naturally drawn to this new Keeper, who he intends to serve as they march out to burn down the land.

@BBeast Where are we then? I see nothing about location in the OP so I assumed.

@BBeast *Grabs a spray bottle full of holy water* "No, bad demon, off the couch!" *squirt-squirt.*

Ding. Interested. Might want to go ahead and stick the CS template on the OP.

Name: Yappo - The Scavenger - Yappo Numbers 1-5
Physical Form:
Yappo stands at about 4 foot 1 but has a slight hunchback so appears to be more around 3 foot 11. Underneath the mask, Yappo has ratlike features and fishlike blue eyes.
Abilities:
-Teleportation to a small degree
-Dirt based magic
Relationships: None yet
Wants/Needs: Yappo wants money and lots of it.
Backstory:
Yappo was born deep under the mines of a great Dwarven city carved from stone and brick in order to achieve true beauty through architecture. Yappo's hometown though, was much the opposite. It was strife with poverty and disease and the most notable part of it was the giant monument of filth that stood on just about every 'street' corner. Yappo's race - whatever that may be - are unable to do magic of any sort, with only one member of the race being able to do magic being born every century or so. It just so happens that Yappo was that man. However, Yappo was much more interested in building and mining than magic and so he didn't actually study magic until he was thrown out of his hometown onto the surface because he wasn't doing his job right. That and the cannibalism. But mostly that. Yappo thinks. Yappo travelled to a more 'accepting' Human city after that to learn magic. This ended in disaster as he had the innate desire to steal a 'soul stone' which resulted in very little mana being left within Yappo as it had been split evenly between 5 versions of himself including the original. Surprisingly, Yappo wasn't opposed to the idea. Each 'clone' knew what each other was thinking and was about to say so suffice to say, they got on swimmingly. Recently, Yappo has been hired by 'The Dungeon Keeper' for his skills in cannibal- I mean micro-management which could greatly help organise the workers and whatnot.

I hope you're still accepting because this RP sounds awesome. Also, I hope you don't mind if I introduce some Dark Souls lore into the mix...

Name: Darkwraith Kor
Physical Form: The darkwraiths are beings that were once humans, but were twisted to depravity through the temptation of a dark serpent. These beings feast on the souls of their victims, and also on their very humanity. The darkwraiths have a drug-like addiction to humanity and in feasting on it, they drain the sanity from their victims to retain their own. Their skeletal appearance is actually a suit of armor granted to them by the serpent. Beneath it, the a healthy darkwraith looks very much human, but a starved one will have their nature revealed with wrinkled, rotting flesh. Kor stands at about six feet. Beneath his helmet, his face his stern and gaunt, with unkempt black hair and dark brown eyes. He has a muscular build derived from years of hunting down his prey.


Abilities: The Dark Hand- This is the magic weapon granted to all darkwraiths by the serpent. It is a manifestation of the darkness in their souls, and in its idle form appears to be an ethereal orb of blackness with streaks of red squirming about its wielder's hand. The Dark Hand can warp into both a sword and a shield with a complete physical manifestation. Due to the ethereal nature of the Dark Hand, it cannot be broken, but at the same time it will often yield to sturdy materials.

Lifedrain- The most feared of the darkwraith's abilities. The user channels his hunger into his Dark Hand and lunges at a victim. Upon contact, he drains the victim of his humanity. This does no physical damage to the target, but destroys its sanity, turning it into a soul-starved creature that will attack friend and foe alike. This ability does not work on those that are already corrupted or depraved, but on those that are valiant and righteous.

Abysswalker- In this world, there exist magics, indeed entire planes, forged from darkness itself. The darkwraiths are one of the few beings that thrive in such darkness. They are immune to the effects of darkness-based magic and can freely navigate through any realms made of darkness.

Red Eye Orb- A blood-red orb with a menacing eye carved into it. This orb seeks out the pure of heart, and once a target is located the orb will begin to pulsate. Once the target has been located, no amount of walls or barricades can stop a Darkwraith. They can use the Red Eye Orb to transport them to the general vicinity of the target. This comes with great risk, though. The orb does not reveal who the target is or what defenses are established, and it will only bring them withing 100 feet of the target. The darkwraith may be stepping into his own doom.

The Dark Sword- The melee weapon of choice for darkwraiths. The Dark Sword is a straight sword with a thick, wide, blade. The additional mass makes it good for staggering heavily armored foes. Though heavy, Kor can wield this blade masterfully, preferring to unleash a flurry of quick strikes rather than large single strikes.

Ring of the Evil Eye- Legend has it the this ring contains the spirit of a terrible monster that assaulted the lands long ago. Now, the power of this beast's cruelty is channeled into the bearer. With every slain foe, some of the wearer's energy is restored, and light wounds begin to heal.

Personality: In a word, voracious. Where others look at a battle and see terror and carnage, glory and honor, Kor sees a king's feast. These peaceful times have left Kor anxious and irritable from his hunger, but once his appetite becomes satiated he becomes as morbidly jovial as the next minion of darkness celebrating his victory.

Wants/Needs: Kor is driven by a relentless hunger for souls and humanity, but also takes pleasure in the dark. However, Kor is also reasonably intelligent, so any tools that would assist him in his hunt would be seen as an ample reward.

Relationships: NA

Backstory: Kor was once human, but that is all he remembers of his days before he was a darkwraith. For one reason or another, Kor found himself at the bottom of a pitch-black chasm, unmarked on any maps. He was terrified a first, but then he heard the voice of the serpent. It was a soothing voice, an infallible voice: "You were born from the Dark, why do you fear it?" Kor's pulse slowed and he sat upright. That's right, it was only darkness, there was no reason to be afraid. "Ah, you are not like the others who tremble at the Dark! Come, let me give you this gift, and you can be the savior to usher in a new age!" Naturally, the years of hiding in the shadows merely to sustain his own existence was grueling for Kor. However, when he heard of the new dungeon keeper, the prospect of open combat was appealing, plus he liked the new age that the dungeon keeper wanted to usher in.

Other: NA

Hope to get my proto-cs up by tomorrow evening! Until then, gotta read all ya'lls little villains.

@BBeast Where are we then? I see nothing about location in the OP so I assumed.

No, I see he hasn't posted it here yet. But I was there for some of the planning, and while I don't yet know what Cyclone plans to call this land I know that this land is not Earth.

Takashi makes none-to-subtle Dark Souls references!

Name: Athinar Gol-Gaia

Physical Form:
Tall, well-muscled, and stable, he is the pinnacle of physical perfection, even by the standards of some who would call themselves 'Immortal'. He is 6'8", and weighs at 300 pounds, in his normal form.


In his alternate form, he gains a sentient sword, and a set of armor which is actually part of him. In this form, sometimes his face is visible, but more often than not, he keeps his mask on. He is 7'0" even, and weighs 450 pounds.

Abilities:
Normal Form / Carnage Form - Athinar has decided to forgo magic that affects others, in favor of a magic that supplements his already impressive strength. His Carnage Form is a shell, which looks like armor, but actually is a super-dense exoskeleton. While in this form, he is significantly slower, but is immensely more powerful in terms of strength and defense.

Summon: Carnage Blade - Athinar has the ability to summon his Carnage blade at any time, however it is smaller and less impressive when he's not in Carnage form, although it still is alive, and speaks to him. The blade's name is Requiem.

(Normal Form) Blood Palm - Athinar uses the blood spilled by anyone, including his own, in a fight, to empower his fist's attack.

Personality: Athinar gets intense pleasure from seeing other creature's blood. No matter the circumstances, or whether he is allied with them or not. When he is not getting excited by bloodlust, he is usually a very calm, collected individual with no tolerance for sarcasm or joking of any sort. When blood is near, he turns into a vicious man, taking pleasure in drawing blood, tasting it, etc. Afterwards, he is, shall we say, *ahem* easily excitable. If you know what I mean.

Relationships: None, so far.

Backstory: Athinar is the reincarnated form of an ex-Dungeon Keeper, banished from his former world, and born to a new life in this one. However, he don't remember shit, and the only benefits were the impressive physical abilities you see today. He was born to an order of monks, who trained him in every combat style, unarmed and armed. However, this revealed his darker secret, his love for shedding blood. Killing them all, he was guided by a voice in his head, who told him that if he joined with him, he'd get to kill, kill, and keep killing. So he met up with the Dungeon Keeper, and started killing.

Other: If Athinar seems too powerful, remember that he was converted to the Dungeon Keeper's cause by him just saying that he could kill people if he joined him. He's not dumb, but he does have quite the one-track-mind, and is quite susceptible to manipulation, in both forms. Like, REALLY susceptible. A novice hypnotist could put him to sleep.

Okay, everybody so far is accepted and we now have like 20 people. For now I'm closing this RP to more. It may be reopened later, so to anybody that didn't quite make the cut, check back later!

Anyways, the character sheet was moved to the OP. I also added another section to the sheet for a character's wants and needs. That is mostly just there to help me figure out how the Dungeon Keeper should reward/motivate you. So for instance, a really bloodthirsty character might just get sent on more missions. A greedy one might be gifted with some plundered gold. And our resident vampire will probably just get a swimming pool of blood :P

@Cyclone Just to ask am I still aloud to make a character? Lot of people showed up over night XD

@Cyclone Just to ask am I still aloud to make a character? Lot of people showed up over night XD

Screw it, I'll let you. But you're the last one! Everybody else can wait a week or so until I decide whether to reopen this or not.

You seem to have plenty of people and quite honestly I try to shy away from groups this big so I'll wait to see if things slow down a bit before I join in.

This... is getting too crowded for me. I'm pulling out. Have a good game :)

@Midori@Golem

Understandable. I'd encourage you to look at the IC for a bit though; I've seen RPs with a dozen people churn out two posts a day. This might not be as hard to keep up with as you think. If you do change your mind, the nature of this RP will make it easy for you to pop back in once we've started.

In other news, I made a little map of the world with MS Paint. It's fairly simple: we start out in the real backwater south, and as we grow stronger we'll just march north to where there are bigger places to conquer. If humans get boring there are some elves and dwarves hiding off to the side, too.



I saw some question as to whether this was Earth a few pages back. BBeast answered it and he was right, this is a different land. Any ideas for cool names?

Gotta take out that Castle with Fire and Death!

BTW, where's the OCC/IC thing? I can't find it.
