Howdy! As it goes this will be a rather gritty, grim-dark, fantasy Rp in which the players participate as adventurers and warriors who are nowhere near the level of a Chosen, but must ascend to the duty of helping protect the Lands against the new threat. This Rp will have perma-death as a possibility, and it will not be nice to the players. It will also feature some Dark Souls-esque mechanics.




"Azalore needs the help of you, you few who truly stand against the odds. However, who are you in the end? Adventurers? Travelers? You aren't much to look at honestly..." - The Caretaker

As it goes, the Rp will take place at the climax of the corruption. It has been slowly developing for a couple years and now the Chosen have risen up and have began an onslaught. Only a few have actually left their solace and have been ravaging the land. These few are the immediate threat, but to reach them alone will not be an easy task. They are wide-spread and they affect the world around them in the worst of ways. It will be up to the players and their beginning adventurers of characters to stop them, as players progress they will grow in character and strength. However they may also die or become mortally wounded, as this is a Grim-Dark Rp.

Azalore is a massive continent, one containing many diverse biomes and lands. There are four major points, the Northern Tundra Wastes, the Western Marshes, the Southern Steppes, and the Eastern plains and coast. These diverse lands bear many biomes in and around the four points, with other major points of interest and smaller territories in-between and all around.

The location in which you will start is:

Silvershire


Silvershire is a Human origin Kingdom, and it's king was just assassinated by a group believed to be under the command of a corrupted Chosen. It lies to the east in the great plains of Azalore atop a cliff made a former chosen, one of the few non-plains landscape features in the east. Our Players will be already collected at Silvershire's most infamous tavern, the Bloodied Wolf, and it is here that they will be met with an employer. A man who has secretly meddled in their affairs to ensure that no matter what they did, they ended up at this location at this very moment. This man will reveal himself once the moon rises to the full of the sky, and it is in this ramshackle town that the adventures across Azalore will begin, for the better.. or the worse.

@ManoftheNorth

Will it be possible to have spells in all three categories of magic? I mean, I'm only thinking of one spell on the enchantment category that's directly connected to the two spells under the ritual category. My character - an Elf - will be mostly an Ability Mage though. If you want me to explain in detail, I can PM you.

So where are we at with magic?
Are characters limited to one type?
How strong can we expect it to be?

Magic- Is listed above, and while you can use all three types, doing so diminishes over all mastery of the categories, where as if you focused in one, you would obviously be more equip to master and progress in one form.

One character for now, but potentially be ready to make more if you wish to stay should your RPC die.

As for their strength, it states above that all players are "beginning adventurers of characters" so the players RPCs won't be over-board power-houses, but they will be decent.

I'll finally have a character up in the next 12 hours.
A human monk.
I couldn't find a Sylvari img I was happy with and have burnt through at least two different concepts that I just wasn't 'feeling'.

"Watch your mouth. The dark has ears only the light can destroy."


Name: Grimlock Lifesbane (Formerly Randolph Beuller)
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Race: Human

Personality: Charismatic and light hearted, trained to honor the living and dead alike, Grimlock strives to uphold the values of the temple even after he has walked away from it. While he is often considered an angry or violent individual at first glance due to the appearance of his armor, Grimlock is a very friendly person. Self sacrifice and determination are the cornerstones of his life now.

Rarely backing down from an opponents challenge, Grimlock is known to be a bit of a boaster.

Backstory: A denizen of the underground city known as 'Avernus', built in a massive cave system below the fetid swamps far to the north. Rarely do people venture from to/from this place teeming with monsters and brigands. It is one such being that changed the path of Randolph when the weakened man wandered into the cavern systems.
Found collapsed on the smooth stones covered in wounds, young Randolph ignored the dangerous looking armor and focused on the dieing person inside. Three months it took for this silent man to heal from the many terrible wounds, every day he was treated with respect and no judgement by the clergy.
Their talks often became one of the darkening skies outside their home. Deaths on the roads, blades clashed on the regular, and assassins were hired to kill what an army could never approach.

Clad in armor made of wood, steel, and bone, Grimlock was one such assassin who had taken life for coin. In the darkness of the caverns is where the light had finally found him. Indebted to the kindness of the people and those of the faith in their slumbering gods he would teach the willing to wield a blade to defend their home, protect their families. Randolph studied the way of the sword alongside the ways of his faith.
When the man in strange armor fell silent for good he mourned the loss as one would a brother.

When the same fate took the life from his father it was time to make a decision. The temple needed a new high cleric to fill the position and it was Randolph left to decide what path he would walk.
The path of his father or the advice of his father.

Randolph dawned the outsiders strange armor and left the city under the mans name, determined to make the world remember a good mans name. Armed with the miracles of his faith and the strength of his arms he would meet destiny many times on the road.

Equipment:
  • Faithful - More of an executioners chopping blade than a true sword but as Grimlock shows, it can be put to deadly use. Heavy as it is sharp this weapon can just as easily crush a foe as split them. Can be used effectively in one hand but is slower without two hands.
  • Eternal Sun - A sacred piece of holy cloth worn by the highest ranking members of the sunken temples. It is their symbol of status, easily distinguishing them in the crowd with the pure white silk and gold thread. The piece of cloth is stained with dirt and a bit of old blood around its edges but retains its color.
    Grimlock can cast two spells with the use of his sacred cloth.


Blessed blade - swiping the edge of his blade with Eternal Sun activates the holy magic imbued into the weapon, creating a trail of dancing sparks across its surface that shock enemies hit.

Blessed body - Kneeling down and placing the Eternal Sun against his forehead, Grimlock releases a portion of the stored energy to increase his own strength temporarily along with a very minor regenerative effect.

Only one of these two spells can be cast at a time.

The Priest of the Γ†sir


Name: Broggan Hrafnstunga (Ra-fins-toon-ga)

Age: 60

Sex: Male

Race: Dwarf



Personality: Low Openness, low neuroticism, medium agreeableness, high conscientiousness, low extraversion.

Reverent, chaste, and even-tempered, Broggan is an oddity of a dwarf, however he's always liked reading books, performing rites for the gods, and preaching their wisdom to those who need it. Broggan is also not opposed to having a good time, however he strongly disapproves of letting loose, and would prefer people indulge in their vices and passions with a measure of respect for what is dignified, and civilized. He is a strong proponent of civilization, and good decent manners, and believes that because the potential to maintain civility over savagery exists in the sentient races, one of his duties is both to set an example for that very thing, as well as to engender and encourage it in others.

Backstory: Born and raised in a secluded farmer's temple, became a devout novice of the cult of the Γ†sir when he was still a child. Eventually became the Head Priest when his uncle died. Broggan was very aware of the beginnings of corruption when it started to seize the land, and he was not surprised when a crew of brigands burned down his chapel.

Ever since then, Broggan's been the wandering preacher. The lost soul, trying to gather other lost souls into the welcoming arms of the gods. A holy man by trade, practice, and demeanour, he has never allowed himself to sink into destitution, and has no qualms about getting dirty doing good honest hard work. Many's been the time he's weeded a garden for a copper, or cleaned the stables, or emptied chamberpots. Broggan's philosophy has taken him all the long way from his idyllic childhood into the grim present day, where the man of faith occupies himself currently as both a street-preacher and waiter at the Bloodied Wolf.



Magic:



Misc: Broggan is intended entirely as a support character, and is incapable of defending himself when casting any of the above rituals. Naturally, some of these rituals have a very offensive potential, however it should be borne in mind that each offensive ability is a ritual that requires ample time and warning to prepare, activate, and re-apply.

Broggan can Hurry his ritual prep, halving the time needed to prepare, but multiplying the chance of the ritual failing by 1.5x. If the ritual fails, the components are still consumed.

Broggan can Rush his ritual prep, quartering the time needed to prepare, but multiplying the chance of the ritual failing by 3.0x. If the ritual fail, the components are still consumed.

Broggan's pouches have room for approximately ten ritual focus components, and their accompanying catalysts.

Avarius Elthandeir

Avey storm rider,


Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Personality:
Quiet, calm, reserved and patient. He is of a kind heart and caring nature. Often lost to thought he can appear aloof or indecisive unless his morals are called into question. In that case he is a steady bastion for virtues.
A curious creature, always seeking a deeper meaning yet looking upon the world with optimism and hope. He always sees the good in all things, the light in the dark.

Backstory:
Having grown up in a small clay temple on the outskirts of Silvershire, Avey was born and raised into a small sect that focused on spirituality and harmony. The monks served the King partly with their superstitious guidance and partly with ancient knowledge. They believed in balance and the power of nature. They passed on secrets of old and kept written ledgers on history and learnings.

The monastery was open for all but did not offer the lifestyle many could appreciate. Due to the many rules promoting a selfless, reflective, non-judgmental lifestyle and the required hours of tedious spiritual chores, it's numbers forever remained low. In recent years it mostly acted as a refuge for lost and rescued Sylvari, as sadly their abuse only grew while times of darkness increased.

As the world continued to sour around them they fought desperately to hold strong to their values and beliefs. With the loss of the King it finally all came crashing down. No longer did they have that Royal support or protection. He was the last of influence to find value in their guidance or see importance in holding onto the past. Soon after his passing the monastery was sacked. Raiders kidnapped weak Sylvari, stole and destroyed their few possessions and killed any who tried to defend themselves.

Misc:
  • Mute
  • Poor
  • Unarmed fighter
  • Aspiring Druid
  • Naturalist
  • Herbalist
