The Ten Rings
)
The year is 800 A.D. in an alternate reality of planet Earth. This is a time of emerging yet primitive technologies just as it was during our timeline. There are no dragons, mythical creatures, witches, or any other typical elements of fairy tales associated with this time period. Instead, things are quite factual and realistic... up to a point.
Our story differs from factual human history with the existence of Ten Rings of Power. The origins of these rings are long since forgotten, but tales of their might sing throughout the ages. Each of these rings is powered by a mystical jewel. These jewels can be divided into two groups: The Seven Rainbow Stones and The Three Cosmic Crystals. Each ring bestows unique powers to it's wearer and also effects his or her personality. The longer you wear a ring, the more powerful you will become, but at the same time, your personality will also be changed just as dramatically.
These are the ten rings and their effects upon their wearers:
These rings are highly coveted and indestructible. Some are locked away for safe keeping or hidden and forgotten about. Others are passed down from generation to generation within distinct families. Others have been stolen or passed along frequently based off a previous owner's whim.
There are legends of people wielding two or three rings at once, but all those stories end in tragedy for the wearer or those around them as they descend into madness.
In this RP, you will create a character that either wears, carries, or protects one of these rings. Maybe your character stumbles across a ring. Maybe your character is gifted one. Maybe your character is a thief. Maybe your character is a guardian. In other words, how you come across your ring is up to you. What you do with it, is up to you.
My role as GM is to advance the plot when needed, but I would like to see what comes up naturally through collective story telling first. My most common plot device will simply be time skips. I will do this when we need to spice things up and make everyone more powerful.

Simply PM me a copy of your proposed character sheet or post it to the OOC section. I will provide feedback and approve or deny the character sheet. Once your character sheet is approved, you may copy and paste it into the Character Sheet tab.
Keep in mind that all new characters have to just recently become in possession of a ring. They couldn't have had it for more than a week. The power of any ring within this first week is very subtle, almost undetectable.
