Hey all! this is where the out of character chat will be conducted. Alternatively, join this discord server: https://discord.gg/pgXTkGY

Anyway, if you're new here and/or are confused as to what this rp is about/are looking for the overview of the roleplay, check the next out of character post.

For information on making a character, check the character sign-up thread- everything you need should be there. Though, feel free to PM me with any questions.

Thank you!

Overview

Everything you need to know

Sidenote- this is a very barebones and out-of-character view of all of the information the players should know during the rp; I may indeed go back through and re-write this to be from a narrator’s perspective, but for now, this should do.

Tl;dr/Synopsis:

Essentially, you play as a developing mage given their powers by a mysterious deity-like figure that has their own agenda; the task you are given is to end the Shijuhan Dynasty, a tyrannical empire that is a threat to all existing nations. However, it quickly becomes obvious that the new magey powers you’ve been given are destroying your body from the inside. During the rp, your character will grow alongside their powers, eventually becoming strong mages that can challenge even the heart of the tyrannical nation- but at what cost? The rp will be inherently edgy at times, purposefully comedical at others, but most importantly it will be a daring, high-tension adventure between a group of characters that will hopefully grow tighter as the story goes on. If you didn’t see the interest check, it’s in the hider below, and basically states what I’ve just said, only in-character, with terms from the rp.


The Ose

The Ose are, essentially, deity-like figures; they hold an immense amount of power due to their full control over Osen. However, they are all still living “people,” that walk the world. Because of this, they have their own goals, motivations, and dreams, and use Osem to realize these for them. A full list of The Ose can be found in the character sign-up thread. Side note, when an Ose chooses a person to become an Osem, the person will black out completely and meet the Ose while in a dream-like state.

Osen- what is that?

Osen is the word for ”magic” in this universe, but also doubles as the word for ”mana.” It’s a very, very useful catch-all word when talking about things relating to Osem, The Ose, or ose (the energy). Very briefly: ose is the energy stored in the soul for practicing osen, it is the same word as The Ose because it is believed to be “their blood,” as they use that same energy to perform their osen. Osen can take many forms, it simply depends on whom is using it, and what facet of Osen they study. Basically, a facet of Osen is a way of using Ose to accomplish whatever sort of strange things you want. Each facet is distinct in both what it does and how it uses Ose. As always, let me know if you have any questions!



Osem- who are those?

The Osem are the cursed people chosen by The Ose to carry out one of their tasks. In exchange for power over Ose/osen, Osem suffer as the toxic and tumultuous Ose courses through their veins, causing them to slowly wither away even as they live. If you are part of the main story, as you may well be, your goal given to you by the Ose will be to bring about the end of the Shijuhan dynasty. No one knows what happens to Osem that succeed, but everyone knows the horrible rumors of what happens to those that fail: their bodies succumb to the Ose and they become wretched, vile creatures to roam the land in eternal suffering.

That’s about it- I might go through and re-write all this information from an in-character/narrator perspective, but for now, that’s the bare-bones information about the rp! Enjoy!

That's fine! I'm willing to wait a while for the cs's, as it gives me time to think about how to fit together the characters and their individual personalities/powers as they roll in.

Hi there! I'm interested and will also be writing up a CS within the next day or so.

Question for you, are there kingdoms in this setting? I was pondering on my character being a royal type who had this task thrust upon her, but I'm not sure on the culture dynamic yet.

@Duoya Character looks great, I love how you developed the world of the rp as well as your character in your cs. I really, really like your cs- though, I am a little worried with how your character will be in a group enviornment such as this rp. That being said, you are accepted.
