Introduction
For as long as time could remember, the continent of Revea was united under the prosperous rule of the Alidan Emperors. It was over a century ago, when Alidan Typhon took the throne, a reign of tyranny, the likes that never have been seen before, had began. The young emperor abused and exploited his people, using the accursed Anathema to keep the population in line and crushed those who rose against him. So great was Typhon's hubris, that he even challenged the gods, believing himself to be their better.

His despicable ways were not meant to last, for heroes arose from all  over Revea. Wielding ancient relics and all-powerful abilities, they each lead whole armies against the hordes of atrocities that had served Typhon.

After a bloody struggle that lasted over many years, the heroes had finally broke through Typhon's defenses and forced him to a wall. Alas, despite their efforts, the heroes were robbed of their final triumph. The mad tyrant, loath to admit defeat, decided to destroy himself together with his empire instead, cursing the lands that stretched miles around it.
 
With Alidan Typhon defeated, the peace that many had given up their lives for, still did not return to Revea. With their common enemy no more, the heroes turned to each other, establishing their own countries out of what was left from the fallen empire. A series of ever escalating wars were waged with the ambition to one day become the one true ruler of the entire continent.
 
Preoccupied with this long lasting struggle for power and dominance, many had set forgotten of the oppression and cruelty brought about by the late Alidan Typhon. None were aware that his defeat not long ago, was merely a ploy to deceive the world. Typhon not only possessed overwhelming power and influence, but also extraordinary foresight and cunning that was second to none. He knew that continuing to face the eight heroes would lead to his eventual defeat. To hand them this temporary victory was a sacrifice that he deemed necessary.

In the ruins of his fallen empire, the essence of Alidan Typhon continued to linger. It was scarce and thinly spread out, but over the course time, had accumulated enough to have caused some sort of influence towards a select few among the Anathema. If you had not figured it out yet, you are one of them.
 
Frequently Asked Questsions


Character Sheet

Interested.

Could be interesting

@HowlsOfWinter@Duthguy Happy to see that this isn't a complete flop. Feel free to ask questions about the RP or your thoughts about it.

I'll be posting up the character sheet soonish.

Get me in here, asap.

As for the monsters you can start out as, I would only allow lesser creatures such as Imps, Goblins, and Kobolds for now. Any other suggestions?

Interested for sure. Will there be any way to become a more fearsome monster? Also I'd suggest minor were-beasts (Hogs, Badgers, etc.), and maybe spirits of some kind?

@RedLeather Certainly, you just have to make decisions throughout the RP that would lead you that path. I just want everyone to start at a low level; progress in this RP will be relatively fast.

Werebeasts are acceptable, but not incredibly monstrous from the start. Spirits are fine too, as long as nothing too overpowered is done by the players.

I'm interested, but curious if the characters we use are like... evil or controlled by typhon? Also I've never done a group rp before but I'm experienced otherwise and have my own original monster design I'm hoping I could use

Could possibly be interested. Though im not even sure if any of those would lead down the path that would suit me if it was like an RPG and your class is the creature and thus evolution would be determined by the branch you choose for the creature like an imp could become a lesser demon or a incubus/succubus.

Thus I would need to find the right path for my character, as one of my two mains is a monster

@Starsteemer Whether they're evil or not, its really up to you. Typhon won't really control anyone; he'll just bestow select monsters with his power but what they do with this is really their choice.

You can post that original design here or send it to me in a PM so that we can discuss.

@Lady Athena Nah, job class and monster-type wouldn't be synonymous here. I mean, you could start as a Goblin and end up as some sort of Shamanistic Vampire for all I care. Its really up to you. I won't really create predetermined paths. I'll make use of what you guys give me.

Let's say you start of as an Imp. Went through certain milestones like getting tortured with electricity and devouring a clan of lizardfolk, it wouldn't be that odd if you turned into some sort of scaled lightning demon.

@Alupi im a bit new to the site and cannot figure out how to post a picture, the picture is saved in my device but I think this site is designed to display pictures using url?

@StarsteemerYou have to upload the image on photo sharing or image hosting websites (imgur, photobucket, etc) then they'll generate a URL for that image which you can then post here.

Fuck it I'll upload it tomorrow from computer

This looks fun and interesting. I like the idea of starting low but having fast progression. ^.^

Hells ya I did it! This is my original monster design, and it's a blank canvas so they can start out weak as a babe if need be

@Starsteemer I didn't know you could just upload from your PC. Interesting.

Anyway, I don't mind going with an original monster design; I just wanna suggest to maybe choose something humanoid? I mean, I'm not gonna hide the fact that there will be artifacts and equipment that you guys can come across.

I just feel that being a quadruped would probably hinder you in some ways.

This thought has made me contemplate on where to just allow humanoid beasts or have everyone start out as human with Anathema blood. Basically making them social outcasts and giving them a reason to abandon humanity and serving Typhon.

If you click raw you can see he got it from a deviantart upload. Also I think it might be interesting if you allow both options to be available, unless it makes more work for you.

@Alupi if the Anathema were turned into grotesque beasts I figured the design would fit the parameters no? However I do indeed have a human version of my monster. And a way for them to transition between the two without using an overused method.
My proposal is, they were always a beast but found an amulet to return them to their intended human form. Whadya think?

@Eklispe I was considering that but I'm trying to avoid people complaining of non-humanoids having a disadvantage. I mean, I can mention that they were well aware of this at the start, but it still wouldn't avoid those types of sentiments from being brought up.

@Starsteemer Hmmm. The way Anathema culture works is that among the various races, tribes and clans usually exist to subdivide them amongst one another. Given their history with the humans, the Anathema have grown to despise them. So having one of them relying on an artifact to transform them into a form that would be more similar to that of a humans, would definitely be looked down upon to say the least.
