(Quick warning, title's still kind of in working.)
Most of us know the myth of Pandora's Box(Jar, to those of us that went the extra mile). Zeus, father of the gods, is angry at the Titan Prometheus for his past trickery for the furthering of mankind. Zeus makes the perfect woman with the help of all of the other gods, and gives her a box with explicit warnings not to open it, then presents her to Prometheus' brother: Epimethius. They marry, and one day Pandora gets curious and wonders what's inside the box. She opens it, and all sorts of horrors fly forth from the box and attack her before scattering into the world as she quickly shuts the lid. The only thing left inside? Hope.
It's several millennia after the opening, the tradition of warriors and powerful heroes has never really left the world, albeit with much less frequency than in olden days. The horrors that once ravaged the world have now simply become part of everyday life. Sickness, jealousy, hatred, war, abuse, and death to name a few are things that humans have come to terms with and have decided to accept, albeit begrudgingly. However the god of Death, Thanatos, isn't happy with the way things are. He wants the world to fear him once more. As the leader of the horrors, he begins to strengthen them by feeding them the essence of random people across the planet in an attempt to make them into what they once were in the Age of the Gods.
In response to the scale of balance being tipped, Hope reawakens herself from her slumber deep inside of the enchanted jar awakens the ancient blood of the closest and most direct descendant of Pandora that she can find which compels them to make their way to a cave not far from their village. Inside, she discovers an ornate jar that seems worn and has many scratches covering its surface depicting many different heroes and events from ages past. Upon her hand making contact with the jar, Hope's consciousness floods her body and she uses the limited strength that she has to send out a cry planet-wide to every and any warrior that she possibly can to compel them to make their way to a specified location where the journey to return the horrors back into the jar shall begin...
Hopefully I haven't overloaded you. Once there's a decent amount of people, the OOC will be put up and we can get moving towards starting.
I'm more than willing to answer any question you have about the world, or how the RP will work and etc.
