The Demon Lord sighed as yet another of his mighty fortresses fell to the overwhelming might of the heroes that forever plagued his plans. No matter what scheme, no matter how much he seemed to prepare there was just no stopping those annoying pests, those 'adventurers' from destroying all he built. These strange beings from another land who always grew stronger and were impossible to annihilate completely. No matter how many times they failed eventually their tenacity and tendency to keep growing in strength and equipment would overwhelm even the strongest of minions. There was no winning.

"Well my lord, I don't think we'll be making progress with this plan either." Said one of his closest servants as he served the dark lord a goblet of some blood-red liquid.

"Tch, indeed. Ever since those 'adventurers' appeared it has been impossible for any plan to succeed; however, my new plan has already been set in motion. These beings from beyond the veil have been summoned by our enemies for too long. Now is the time for us to do the same! Fight fire with fire, or in this case, adventurer with adventurer! Has the 'server' been set up yet?"

An image of what appeared to be a dark sorcerer surrounded by runes, magic circles and thousands of candles and incense lamps, appeared before the Dark Lord. "It should be up and running in just a few moments your excellency." Came the hollow voice of the dark mage. "It should open up our own gateway to 'outer-veil' dimension allowing these 'adventurers' to come to our side if they so choose. Though I am unsure if any will take the offer."

At this the Dark Lord grinned, "That is were you are wrong my subordinate. Even among the enemy adventurers there are ones called, PKers and trolls, though I admit I fail to see the resemblance at all to our own trolls. In any event undoubtedly some will come over to our side and finally we will have an unstoppable force of our own to fight back with. Come and swear your allegiance to me! Your Dark Lord awaits!" The Dark Lord started to laugh maniacally while the sorcerer and servant could only sigh.

"I really hope this works out..."



So as you can probably tell from the short little intro the Dark Lord of some MMORPG has decided to get his own Player Characters on his side in order to fight the Player Characters of the traditional game. Of course things are not as simple as that but I've yet to come up with any firm thoughts beyond the basic premise. Anyway interest and thoughts appreciated of course.

For instance should the Player Characters be able to make their own monster characters as the Dark Lord's minions? Rather have a, trapped in the game universe kind of thing or else just playing a game that's about to get stranger and weirder as the Dark Lord starts messing with the code and whatnot? Like I said the main thing at the moment is just me seeing if anyone is interested in the basic premise before I think about really crafting the roleplay.

The Setting

MMORPG Titan's Sphere - A Fantasy setting type MMORPG that at first glance may seem fairly run of the mill. Player hubs, empires and kingdoms to explore, evil villains to trounce, monster galore etc. What makes this MMORPG unique is the fact that while there are of course the traditional bad guys to defeat there are also power spots that give various global effects to the faction that controls them. These power spots are controlled by massive Neutral Bosses called Titans that will defend against any aggressors and are notorious for being extremely hard raids.

An odd thing has occurred in the game world however, the Demon Lord of the antagonistic player environment has somehow managed to hack the system and create a new 'monster' server for players. Of course no one, not even the game developers, know about this and special invitations have been sent out to a random number of players under the guise of a special event. With strict instructions not to tell other people and a built in filter to prevent monster players from talking with regular players the stage has been set in motion.

You are one of the players who got the invitation in their inbox, upon clicking the accept button the message is deleted and the player is sent to a brand new character creation screen to create their own monster character. The soon to be Player Killer monsters are about to be born in Titan's Sphere and the implications which set a great many things in motion.

Could be interesting. I'll stick around to see how this turns out.

This is cool, reminds me somewhat of the light novel/manga/anime, Overlord.

I think monster characters would be a great idea, either monster class replaces job class, or all players have a 'default human' appearance with the 'were-ability' to transform into their chosen monster form to either enhance or supplement their chosen job class.

Hmm I think I'll go with a monster class system as the new 'job' system, makes the most sense plus allows these new 'player killers' to be essentially incognito. The Dark Lord will be trying to raise up this new army of elites so he's gonna be sly about it.

Also thinking about it, I'm going to not go the player trapped inside the game route, instead everyone will be regular players who get involved with the Dark Lord's schemes unknowningly, thinking it is just some kind of special event or something. As such there may be times where your character is doing things in the real world and might hear about some of the strange rumors going on about the game. This should also add a level of mystery to what is actually happening.

Good call, no need for trapped players.
