It has been 50 years since the fall of Camelot. Since then countless evils have plagued the world. Demons toying with mortals, Necromancers raising an undead legion, Orcs pillaging and plundering settlements, Dragons razing cities, and so on. The benevolent forces of the world, humanity and its allies, take shelter in reclusive areas, protected shrines and forests, great imperial cities and other matters of protected places. All the while, villains now fight each other for the title of the dark lord, one who will rule all the world. Lancelot, the destroyer of Camelot, is one of those players. The myserious, former knight of Camelot, has invited many abhorrent individuals into seats of his table; To form the Knights of Evil. Under this family-like organization, all knights swear allegiance to the self-proclaimed dark lord Lancelot. They are free to have their own ambition and goals, and do not have to cooperate with their fellow knights. So long as they prove loyal to the dark lord and respect his boundaries, they are protected under his rule.
Welcome to Knights of Evil. This is a bit of work in progress, so forgive any slopiness in this little presentation. You will be playing as either a Knight of Evil, or a slave. As a Knight of Evil, your character is assigned a specific role within the organization. Aside from fulfilling that role, your character is free to do as he or she wishes. Your character will also have of possessions a legendary artifact gifted to them from Lancelot's ancient treasure. As a slave, you were either captured by force or cursed by dark magic to serve Lancelot. Slaves either take the roles of prisoners, who are forced to do manual labor when they aren't contained in their cell, fight battles against their wishes, or simply serve as a house servant depending upon the individual.

[h2][center][b]Other[/b][/center][/h2] (Theme songs or other noteworthy things and such go here.)
-No metagaming or Godmodding (You should know that by now.)
-1 character per person (Unless stated otherwise.) If your character dies or is removed from the rp somehow, you are free to make a new submission. You may also make backup/prepare submissions in such event or if I permit multi-character play.
-Don't act immature or disrespectful. Again, this shouldn't have to be said.
-I encourage worldbuilding here. You are free to create races, nations, lands, gods, and religions if need be. However I have the final say in such decisions, which means I will likely make suggestions, offer changes, and other critiquing to creative inputs if I don't outright accept everything you've presented.
-Unless stated otherwise, I will not be playing a character. I will be focusing on control most of the npc's and keep the game flowing by managing everything and getting events going instead.
-I am a bit picky with accepting things if you couldn't tell, but I do try to cooperate with suggestions so that I can both balance and keep in check the overall world while still giving you the basis of your ideas. I won't like every idea you throw at me, some of them I might just deny completely, but I trust that you can both be mature about and respect the decisions I make in that regard.
-Characters are free to fight, bicker, and attempt to kill each other if needed. So long as they remain loyal to Lancelot they won't get any trouble with him or his associates, so you are free to make enemies with each other as well as friends.
-That being said, I don't want people to argue and fight in the OOC. If it comes to that, I will step in with a final verdict on whatever matter is the issue. I advise you to come with me with any questions first instead of creating unnecessary conflict with each other.
-Romance is allowed, but keep it PG-13 and save any steamy stuff for Pming each other.
-Character interaction is going to be key for this roleplay. I don't expect everyone to have a social butterfly, but I'd rather avoid making every character a lonesome Sasuke the Shadowhog.
-This is a sort of high fantasy RP, so I do expect a lot of powerhouse character submissions. There will be an NPC who will have the 'powercap' limit for all players, in the sense that the strongest of characters should all be equal to him in overall power. I don't have the npc up yet, but essentially it is around mountain buster/army crusher level. Note that not every character should be at this high tier, especially if they aren't keen on fighting. I do encourage other useful abilities and magic that is better outside of combat.
-Feel free to pm me any questions, but I'd prefer it if you'd ask me here so that everyone can see it (Incase they have the same question.) This also applies to character submissions, however if there is private information you want to keep from the sheet for whatever reason (Plot twist or something I suppose) you may pm it.
-The pace of this RP will be slow, something like a one or two week cycle. I advise using collabs for social interactions or advanced group combat situations; but that isn't required persay. Events and missions will help get the story moving forward, but for the most part characters should have a lot of time to socialize around the castle.
-If you are using a race from mythology or fantasy, while I allow plenty of creative freedoms, I do require that you at least try to stick with the basis of whatever lore your drawing from. For example a vampire should have the typical weaknesses a vampire would have. I.E. Sunlight, moving water, salt, holy bullshit. There may be some things to prevent that, such as an artifact to help with those weaknesses, but otherwise don't be afraid to give your character a lot of cheesey weaknesses. (I do encourage that kind of cheese, including witches that melt from water or werewolves that blister from silver.)
-Lancelot is a character rarely seen and more common then not your character has been recruited by some means other then Lancelot himself visiting that character. Be it using one of the NPC's to contact the character in question, a message from a crow or some magical note, be creative with the invite and include it in the biography.
-I'd like to keep the cast diverse enough so that we stay away from having more then two of the same race, especially considering I will be willing to accept a sizable cast. I do however, also encourage that different characters have similar roles. For example, two really strong tanks or sorcerers. In essence, this is good fuel for potential rivalries.
-Keep in mind this is still a work in progress and I probably won't have the OOC up for a bit because I'm still trying to flesh out the premise and all, however I will try to get things going once I get at least six accepted characters.
-As for technology and magic; I have no rules for any specific magic. How magic works for you can be different to someone else. Hax-esq powers will be moderated a bit to avoid doing anything Dr. Strange-esq levels of bullshit, but otherwise I encourage you with creative powers. Most of the technology is medieval-era, however industrial and steampunk technology does exist (albeit it rare and only in one nation).
-You may create an artifact for your character or you may ask me to make an artifact for your character; if the latter then you should give me a submission sheet so I have an idea what to give you.
-Jobs are not the character's choice, but Lancelot's. You can still give a suggested Job or Role in the job sections but otherwise leave it blank.
@Pyromaniacwolf there's another version of this thread on the Casual Interest Check section and it's taking off at the moment, people are starting to get their characters sorted and its moving towards the start of the official thread. If you're still interested in this it might be worth heading over and taking a look. As far as I can tell, no ones had the idea of werewolf bloodmage yet.
