The world of Lost Empires is very similar to our own. But the key differences come within the history.
In Lost Empires you will play as an indidual with access to the conduit-stone's power which allows you to summon the real world magic used by the battle mages in the times of the Mythic Wars. The creatures and weapons used by the mages are reprsented by the Mythic Legends trading cards. They are in very limited supply in the modern time and you will only have access to a small number at the beginning of your journey.
The battle system is very similar to that of the Lost Kingdoms franchise, if youve played that somehwat rare game you will know the basics, but dont worry if you havent as the exact rules of how it will be adapted to this RP will be fully explained here.
The objective of a duel is to use the cards in your deck to fight your opponent until they become defenseless and have to submit. You will actively be on the battlefield summoning monsters and wielding weapons as if it were live combat. Your access to the conduit gives you the abilites of a battle mage. So when in a Mythic Duel you will be able to do things you couldnt in the real world, physically.
There are 4 different types of cards in Mythic Legends and each card can only be used once per battle. You will start off with a Deck of 15 cards, and your deck may hold a maximum of 25 cards, with no card replicas more than x3 with some even less. The 4 types of cards are as follows.
A game of Mythic Legends is not to be taken lightly, each game, even friendly exhibition rounds come with a price. Both players must wager something before every battle or the cards wont activate, as to reflect the risky nature of the wars that the mages had in in ancient times. The most common is card wager, the winner wins the card that the loser wages. Depending on the rarity of the card, this could be dissapointing or devastating. There are other important things that can be wagered, but that will be revealed later in the RP
In a Duel, both players start with 100% hitpoints, as they inflict damage on each other the percentage will go down. Only attacks made directly against the other player (including as a transformed creature) will effect hitpoints unless an effect states otherwise. The character who hits 0% first is the loser. A player can also forfiet the match. Another way to lose is to simply run out of useable cards in a match. So you must use your limited supply wisely.
Not everyone in the world can duel, and those who can are only able to duel with others who have the ability. So no one can use their cards on an average person, the conduit stone was built with these safeguards in place. Mythic rings are the equipment which allow people to duel, each ring has a small piece of the conduit stone inside it, and also holds the spirit of an ancient battle mage from the mythic wars.
The mythic rings are not easy to obtain, there are only about 100 or of them in the world, they cannot be destoryed, and they cannot be stolen, the only way to obtain one is to win one wagered in a duel (which you would need a mythic ring in the first place to duel) or to be given one with the original owner verbally handing it over to you.
Battlemage profiles give you a passive boost to your abilites in battle depending on whose spirit youve inherited in your ring. The effects are usually minor, such as a climbing ability or added accuracy with projectiles, but you will gain more effects as you win duels.
