Introduction
I am Ryder, a pleasure to meet you! This is going to be a group fantasy RP. The world has been conquered by an immortal warrior (can be killed but won’t die from natural causes) who has made himself king. He has subjugated all the races of the earth – humans, elves, dwarves..etc. King Merrick has decreed that any immortal warriors other than him be put to death and any new ones who are born shall also be put to death. He has ruled for hundreds of years, the living conditions of his people getting worse and worse. An underground movement to overthrow the tyrant king has naturally sprung up but they need a leader and most of all they need warriors who like the King are immortal and can control the elements. The name of these immortal warriors is Soturi.
You can choose to play as a Soturi or a regular person, whichever you prefer. Now if you choose to be Soturi keep in mind that your character would keep that fact secret for fear of being put to death. Each Soturi can only control one element so choose wisely.
I will be playing the king along with several other characters as needed to guide the plot. I'll go into more detail on how the King came to power and how he set up his government to keep the people oppressed. He has made a point of flaunting the nobility's wealth to keep the people from uniting against him, rather wanting them to focus on hating each other.
The King came to power when he took control of the Soturi order, being the strongest and most cunning among them. They fought to drive out orcs, ogres and goblins that were being led by the God of the underworld. Once they were driven back into the underworld the Soturi order was decimated and the worlds armies crippled. He secretly had his close followers kill the remaining Soturi, who served as guardians of the people. He then declared himself king of all the land and those loyal to him enforced his rule. He left the nobility and royalty of each conquered nation intact to rule in his stead since him empire was so vast. Any who opposed him were killed publicly as a warning. Eventually he had full control and no longer needed those closest to him. Fearing they may one day be able to overpower him he killed the remaining Soturi who had been loyal to him and decreed that any children born Soturi be put to death immediately. Harboring Soturi was also punishable by death. Newborns were to be inspected by city guards for the mark of the Soturi but could often be persuaded to look the other way, money usually exchanging hands.
In the next post I will include the CS I would like you to fill out along with some character sheets for some NPCs so you can get an idea of the story and what I'm looking for in this RP.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me or ask them here. I do ask that if you PM me you include "Soturi" in the subject of the PM, helps me stay organized.
I am not going to post a list of rules because I feel like we should be able to use common sense, no god modding or attacking other players (if its story related that's fine but if you're making fun of someone I WILL JUDICIOUSLY KICK YOU OUT). I will most likely be on everyday or every other day. I do not require that you be as active as I am but be courteous to me and the other players, if you're going to be gone for a while let me know either here or in PM. I can temporarily or permanently write out your character based on your preference. I understand that real life comes first but if I have not heard from you in 2 weeks I will assume that you have lost interest and write your character out (temporarily so you may come back if you contact me and explain what happened). If you are gone for an extended period of time with no explanation I will write your character out permanently and you will have to join as a new character if you wish to come back.
