Reshusia, home of the Islaih Imperial rulership where man has strived for the past centuries with only itself to bicker with. Where humanity once lived in spaced out cities and towns, it soon was to become cramped and confined by the soon dominant species known as the Ushilion, an umbrella name for hundreds of creatures that were released during the Ruination Crisis. At the previous era, where the fall of the Kiriton Dynasty was caused by the Ruination Crisis, the entire central land-mass, Alkryte, was thought to be too dangerous to inhabit, and so the remainder of humanity pledged to never return, abandoning it during the final Dynasty's collapse and contamination of Alkryte. Using the oceans as a barrier and frontal line of defence against the abominations that rose from the Ruined Gate, humanity became isolated, but safe for as long as they needed. Such an act led to the formation of coastal defences, centralised cities and the founding of a new nation within Reshusia known as Limpith. Limpith was humanity's last hope, their last stand and their last chance at remaining existent in the harsh new world created by said Crisis.
Several cities were set up from the ashes of their once great civilisation and dynasty, mostly designed to only protect, rather than for constant expansion. To name the greater ones, cities like Harther, Juliana, Nep and Turan, all formed their own coalition in order to produce the Islaih Empire. A series of rightful rulers stepped up to the task of holding humanity in order and peace, and successful it was. But the call to arms never rested, as countless upon countless men and women were offered to enlist and protect the watery borders of Limpith. Eventually, the 'Servicemen' were created, acting as a standalone division serving under the Emperor's orders independently. Whilst they did not serve under the regular military and militias dotted around the nation, they acted as a collection of trained individuals only used to combat the threats of the Ushilion, finding themselves not used and somewhat useless over many generations.
After a ruthless and almost overwhelming encounter with a singular large Ushilion, based around the watery borders, a handful of Servicemen find themselves forced to fight the Ushilion, like they were designed to, in a struggle for both survival. With the regular military only being capable of defending the large cities and towns of the Empire, the Servicemen are tasked with defending the fields, the hills and mountains of their homeland, before having to face the brutal reality across the channel, sent into the very heart of Alkryte in their own attempt to break down the Ushilion invasion...
Welcome to the, hopeful, first chapter to the Reshusia series I have planned. A narrative fantasy/horror experience has been created to convey the experiences of characters when forced up against a foe like no other. In this roleplay, it'll focus on the current generation of the Servicemen, a personal tool for the empress consisting of warriors trained specifically to fight the Ushilion. However, as the threat of Ushilion invaders are not present, the focus on combating these monsters has dwindled downwards to the point of being unprepared. This is the resulting reason towards what'll be an early defeat as we take of the role of these characters in a struggle to balance the chances of survival in their homeland, where the invasion has officially begun.
