[OOC] I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

[Jobst]

@SilverPaw So far, I'm liking what I'm reading.

[SilverPaw]

@Jobst Thank you, same. I thought we should do as you said and show them all what rats are capable of doing XD

[Jobst]

@SilverPaw Gotta catch up with everyone else. Hoping to get that juicy bipedal form sometime down the road.

[Chao]

This looks cool. I want to join, but I don't know where to start with big RPs like this. Heh.

I still would like to join though, if it doesn't bother anyone.

@Chaotic Chao
The first post of the IC basically outlines the general environment, and nothing really "plot" heavy has happened yet.

The characters are reborn into their new forms, take a bit to get used to it and remember who they are, learn the basics of survival, and then choose what they'll do from there. So far the characters have been gathering resources, hunting for food, and having run ins with the Boss of the cave and his second-in-command. These two and other goblins make their "camp" around the bonfire in the cave.

It's currently night time outside the cave, however, so pretty soon most monsters who have been active all day will start feeling the fatigue set in.

[Kangutso]

Is there space for one more?

[Bishop]

Same

@Bishop@Kangutso
Zeroth won't be online until late, if at all, today iirc.

Having heard nothing to the contrary, I feel confident saying he's still accepting applications.

[Kangutso]

Alright. Working on a CS already. Can't find an image for him that fits what I have in mind so gonna have to try describing it.

[Guy0fV4lor]

@Kangutso what do you plan to make?

[Guy0fV4lor]

@Zeroth Your desc. of my inventory is wrong in the last update

I had already fixed my sheet before your response

(from now on I might just include my inventory in every post)

[Searat]

I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I am having a little trouble in getting my first IC post up.
Anyone willing to help the new guy on what his first IC post should contain?

[Jobst]

@Searat You could check out the first IC post by Zeroth; it has a section for a player who was a Dire Rat. Its contents seemed non-specific so both SilverPaw and myself made use of that for our rats.

At the last part, it mentions that the currently in the RP, it's been a week since rebirth. So probably you could mention how your character reacted and handled the whole being a rat thing before deciding on what to do at the present?

I feel anything, as long as it's reasonable based on the premise set up for us, is allowable.

[Searat]

Thank you. That's a great help, I'll try to get a post up by the end of the day.

[Kangutso]

@Kangutso what do you plan to make?

@Guy0fV4lor

I thought I mentioned what I was going to play in that post, but apparently not. -_-'

A Fanged Lizard.

[Bishop]

I like the Digbie one, resembles a fable with the way it's written and the name lol

[Bishop]

Character

Name: Lorek

Theme

Gender: Male

Species: Wisp

Appearance:

Goals: Redemption

Past Life: He was a soldier in a foreign land, sent there to help the government eradicate a rebel group. In the beginning it all seemed just, they were going to another country to free the citizens from the terror and oppression of the rebels. He killed a lot of those rebel scum fueled by the desire for justice and to serve his country. When, was the exact moment that everything changed or better yet, they changed, he didn't know. Somewhere along the way many squadrons started behaving in a more...animalistic manner. Maybe all the killings and the euphoria of the battlefield combined with the fact that they could die at any given time had ignited that sinful flame within them. They started killing the civilians whose houses they were occupying, stealing their food, raping them. War Crimes.

The others aside, he had made peace with the fact that he would be charged and sentenced once the war was over. And then it ended, and all he got for it were medals and commendations among many other praises.

Returning back home, he saw his smiling wife, looking at him with tearful eyes filled with admiration, besides her she was holding the hand of a child. An innocent young girl who he was proud to call his own. That sight gripped and painfully twisted his heart almost making him retch. How many families had his squad ruined, how many had he destroyed?

He tried to live his life, tried to forget, tried with therapy, with alcohol, with drugs and then with other women besides his wife.
One year later he committed suicide.

Some would say that it was the coward's way out. That instead of owning up to his actions he chose to escape them. But he was a religious person and he knew that no punishment on earth could compare to what would befall him in hell.
That day he didn't pray once to God for forgiveness.

@Guy0fV4lorIf you would, just keep in mind that Stone Shot needs ammo but you can only carry 10 items total on your person at once right now.

@Bishop
Accepted!

Well now. Here I thought that ghetto street rat, or that Triad femme fatale, would be the worst of my "Heroes." After all, the world you came from is far more peaceful--despite what breaking stories assault your minds from every direction at every moment. You don't even have magic anymore, although some of your science seems to be just as prone to abuse and misuse.

You, though. Now you are a rarity. Are you evil, or sadistic? Or were you just such a weak willed, ignorant follower, that you joined in on the rape and plunder because everyone else around you was doing it and you didn't want to be singled out for their abuse the next time? I always laugh when people like you say they had a "realization." Or they "made a mistake." As if you weren't raised to follow societies' rules and morals your entire life. As if learning "rape is bad" was something completely new to you.

You claim you were religious, but how important was your God to you, truly? Was He less important than getting your rocks off inside some third world goat farmer's wife? Did your Faith weigh less on the scales than that rifle in your hands? How amusing, the way you Earthlings play gymnastics inside your heads!

I've pulled you out of Hell...for now. But rejoice, oh ye of self-informed faith! You may still bear your cross and parade yourself about. Just don't expect anyone else to join your pity party.

Skill Gain: Curse Affinity
An Affinity Skill makes learning skills related to that affinity easier and boosts their power. The Curse affinity is a category including magics that are solely meant for causing harm and misfortune, and spreading malice. But those who immerse themselves in hatred often drown in it...

The Demon King

[Bishop]

@Zeroth Can I add something under the "appearance" section? It completely left my mind.
"He and his squad had the same tattoo on their backs to show their bond. During his last year that tattoo turned more into a burden, and as thoughts about removing it passed through his mind he could never do it. Was it guilt? Or a memento from better days...
None the less that tattoo carried over to his new body. As a wisp he has this stripe of black ink rotating around his pure blue form, almost as if his sins are still chasing him, even to this new world."

So I was thinking the more evil deeds he does the larger the stripe becomes, until ultimately, if he chooses the evil path his essence merges with that of the black ink-like substance.

And about him being in hell, could he faintly recollect the tortures and pain he felt there? Or he has no memories of it?

[Zeroth]

@BishopThe tattoo can carry over, but having it associated with evil acts won't have any effect besides aesthetics. No such thing as a karma meter here and what he is seen as solely depends on his actions and how others individually perceive them.

He never actually experienced hell, the Demon King plucked him out of our universe basically at the moment of death.
