http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/91133-the-pit-prison-for-wizards-rp/ooc#post-3334067 (the interest check thread)

The premise:

Magic has been treated many ways in fiction. In some cases it is a stand-in for modern technology. In others, it is treated like a religion. It is a source of great power no matter how it is used. And like all powers, it can be used for ill as well as good. In a distant land, a vast dungeon has been set up by mages, for mages, a prison known as The Pit. Located underground in a vast series of caverns, it is dominated by a crater at its center, from which tunnels branch off in many directions.

The pit is run by a great red dragon whose temperament is best described as more self-interested than anything else. Running a prison for profit, he takes in troublesome mages from dozens of other lands and holds them in a facility which most countries could not provide for themselves. And into The Pit, he has erected crystals which generate anti-magic fields with enough power to suppress all but the most powerful mages, although not powerful enough to extinguish their abilities entirely, save for the weakest of them. The prison itself is guarded by hundreds of mindless stone, iron, and adamantine golems who only obey the dragon and his lieutenants. The surrounding countryside is desolate and bare for hundreds of kilometers in every direction, bereft of water, food, or any settlement in which one could hide in the event of an escape.

Your character could be legitimately guilty of any number of magical acts, from the mundane to the atrocious. Or he could be framed for any number of acts. Or perhaps his only crime is possessing magical abilities in a world which hates and fears them. Maybe it is more than one cause. Perhaps he is a necromancer or a demonologist? Or used otherwise legitimate powers to commit acts of theft and murder. The choices are yours to decide.

The game need not take place entirely in The Pit. In fact, it is best used as a starting point, a sort of place for the characters to meet in and escape from, possibly to return later to free others. Or to simply run from and continue the story later on in another way. It doesn't really matter.

So, we should discuss a few details, make characters, then get going.

This has caught the interest of the Eye.

I have a few things in mind; any format or shall a custom one do?

Edit: The View has been lost, unfortunately. Sorry to give a false positive. I wish this roleplay luck, though!

You got my interest, though while I don't want to pressure you, you should make a character sheet now...

I will be able to do so as soon as I get back from work (I have to go there very soon). That said, my character is a wizard named Arcantas, a dracon like in my avatar.

Any format will do, as long as it includes a name, powers, and appearance.

All are welcome, as long as one posts a character and can fit him in.

Amazing, but it belongs in the characters tab.

Just to be sure, Galladin is possessed by Ergoth, right?

Indeed. You can all join. I may have to appoint a co-GM if we have more than five or six players.

Name: Argus Tlamreyl

Species: Half-dwarf, half-elf (Dwelf)

Age:158 (long-lived races, been locked up a half a century)

Powers: Can reanimate corpses to do his bidding with a few words, mess with life force/souls, hurl hellfire and (given supplies and time) summon fiends.

Appearance: Looks like a short, stocky, hairy elf. Black hair, green eyes a few scars from mishaps.

Traits: Megalomaniacal, incapable of empathy, gloomy, misanthropic.

Weapons: His magic and an axe.

In prison for: Attempting to conquer the world with fiends and undead, crimes against sapients, mass murder (read recruitment) and excessive use of forbidden arts.

Bio: An only child born to an unlikely Union, Argus was constantly mocked and bullied as a child. He wished greatly to get even with his tormentors and took up wizardry. It wasn't long before he came across magic that was meant to be forgotten. He sacrificed his other abilities to become a master of these arts and ritually destroyed his own soul to become stronger in magic. His parents were accidentally killed in a failed experiment and Argus fled with his grimoires to an isolated place near a forgotten battlefield. These warriors of old were the beginnings of his undead army with which he overran the Kingdom of Myralthus. After the fall of Myralthus, his enemies tricked him and installed one of their agents in his trust. He was soon betrayed and captured. The only reason he has not been executed is that no one has dared destroy their soul before and there is no telling what could happen when he dies.

Characters belong in the character tab. That's what it's there for.

Folks post them here because many roleplays require approval before putting them into the char tab.
