An Original Dark Fantasy Roleplay
Premise
You are the absolute worst kind of person.
The depths to which you'll sink are unfathomable and your reputation certainly proceeds you. Maybe you're a murderer, a thief, or just a person who is generally not to be fucked with, but none of that matters. A criminal is a criminal, plain and simple. There's nothing more to it. Your evil is known and your infamy may even be widespread, but regardless it all comes down to the fact that in the eyes of the common man and woman, you're nothing more than a monster. A beast which needs to be kept on a leash and isolated from the rest of society for fear of your feral, unpredictable ways. This is a truth you cannot escape and a label that will remain with you and your being until the day you're finally taken from this world. Until that day comes however...
The Black Lily extends an invitation to you. We are an organization that existed long ago, but one that must once again come together to face the evils of the world. Our philosophy, however, is different than those of some hero guild. We firmly believe that one must employ evil to properly fight evil and if our members wish to indulge in their own machinations on the side, that's none of our business. We are a guild of criminals and monsters who have come to an agreement under the unifying banner of the almighty coin. For the proper price, we will cull this world of the threats the exist in the shadows--creatures and entities not of this world that need to be sent back to the nightmarish hell they came from, men and women who have become the kinds of monsters that did not have the luck to join our ranks before a bounty was placed on their heads. We exist to bring death and chaos onto those who have become nothing more than a high price. That is our one and only goal.
You are the absolute worst kind of person. And that's exactly the type of mercenary we need on our side.

Welcome to my interest check! As I said in the title, this is my attempt at a bonafide dark fantasy roleplay, but more than that it combines my love of the supernatural with my other love of plots starring criminal protagonists. Black Lily is a roleplay following a small band of criminal mercenaries belonging to the a mythical guild of the titular name. They are routinely hired to slaughter all manner of supernatural creature and equally heinous humans. These creatures should be familiar to all because they come from all corners of fiction: Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, Angels, Dragons, Chimera, Ghosts, Wraiths, more horror-inclined versions of animals, etc. If it's a creature that shouldn't be of this world--and sometimes even those that are--and the price is right, Black Lily will eagerly dispose of it. The story follows the missions, life, and times of the guild's members so while there will be plenty of fantasy action to partake of, there will also be more slice-of-life moments as the characters go about their daily lives and do whatever it is the player decides they like to do.
This all takes place in a medieval style world though not necessarily traditional. The technology level is firmly horse and cart for transportation and sword and shield for weaponry, but as I'm not a fan of ye olde English, there may be some rule breaking here and there. Of course, there will also be magic and sorcery because what's a dark fantasy without magic?
Being a more mature kind of roleplay, darker or more visceral themes will pop up from time to time. There will be violence and the story will delve into depths every now and then, but this is also a purely character driven game. While I do have some direction to keep things moving at an easy pace, most decisions, events, and plot turns will be dictated by how the characters grow and evolve and how the players choose to develop their own mains.
Since this will be a small group, I'm only looking for about 3-5 others not including myself to join up. However, the process of joining will rely entirely on character submissions--how unique and interesting the character is and how well they fit into the universe. With that said, this is just an interest check so all are welcome to show their interest. I'm already working on the rest of the OOC as we speak so if this should garner enough interest, I'll happily throw up the new thread when it's ready. I'll also be happy to answer any questions anyone may have.
So who wants to join me on a journey through the darkness and depravity of the world of Black Lily?
