[IC] Imerian Chronicles EP#1 - Origins

It all began in a green area, your imagination awakened to the pure and true realm of creativity and imagination, bound by the corrupt control of the varying gaming communities. However, your essence was finally free.

You sensed a civil war going on here. One not for power, but for better freedoms in the real world. These freedoms, however, were bound by an elemental energy known as karma.

You begin with just 1500 karma... and your goal is to secure sources. Good luck.

[Reizon]

This is a gaming civil war. Imagine an energy known as karma, which binds elemental energies, in an economy that that's dictated by our actions. No rules, only merit and potential made safe, but not necesarilly frienly.

Base Elements: Fire, Lightning, Ice, Wind, Water, Earth, Light, Dark, War, Mystic, Druid, Temple, Astral.

Your rp actions will dictate when sources emerge, allowing you to develop those elements...

What will come of forming the first empire in Imeria?

You begin with 1500 karma.

[Reizon]

Imeria was in ruins due to the horrible lack of civility, practically a toxic nightmare.
It was no wonder that the first imerian had the outfit he did.

But the first step was to locate the monsters, and deal with them.
An easy step, seeing the situation...

[Reizon]

Ivan came to a forest. Looking around, it was easy to locate the earth and water sources, but he was on a mission to get the terra element awakened.

He quickly found the source, but a lone point in terra would cost a whopping 1500 karma, just what he had.
He paid, it, and *bam* - he became much more familiar with the layout of the land.

Element Status:
1 Terra

[Reizon]

Next, Ivan examined the temple. It could generate 1 imerian character every RL month, due to how basic it was.
But druid was to be the catalyst for new elements mainly...

It was just that the layout of the land was the best way to first develop Imeria, after all, it was only just being formed.

[Reizon]

War was brewing, Ivan managed to gain 15 druid, causing this cavern to emerge with the nature source to happen.
But it also caused guardian and siege...

[Reizon]

No Imerian was joining. It looked like nobody cared.
Due to this, the toxins already began spreading, emerging in the lands.



New Element Sources: Nox, Tox, Sludge, Plus Sanctuary.

[Reizon]

Ivan and Naomi finally gained enough terra to create some rather serious backpacks. Geared now for extreme expeditions, they also managed to create a tent as well:



That's when they looked at each other in a disgruntled way. Where were the proper imerians, whether friend or foe? Not even one was really activating their temple awakening, only turning back into routine NPCS for the most part. Some would enter the forum your seeing this, reader, but not one would properly awaken their imerian in this actual reality.

Worse, it was likely that the officials would never agree to the 'way of the warrior' contract with this reality, regardless how safe the economy of Imeria would be... Or would they?

That just gave Ivan and Naomi even more reason to become proper leaders. If they couldn't convince them to awaken by persuasion... they would definitely try to use force in the form of proper civics in this reality.

That meant...
Their goal was to build an npc empire, forcing the rpgs here to take notice, and finally make Imeria properly rise...

But what kind of siege would be essential for that to happen? It wasn't just a physical war, but a supernatural one, and they would settle for no less than the god element to make the people in this community realize why they SHOULD join this...

So, they definitely had their work cut out for themselves.
But at least now they had a foothold... not much, but something.

So there.

[Reizon]

Location: Orvus Bog

Ivan and Naomi had little choice but to begin their adventures in one of the most contaminated areas. Entering the accursed Orvus Bog, their goal was to eliminate the ego of those fools rejecting this reality in the first place, and thus, obtain more druid energies in order to cause sludge to emerge in this place, Although it already had such.

The problem came with just how much of an ego people had in the first place. Due to that, those infernal, accursed, goblins were responsible for the situation the bog was currently in. Yes, raging terrible goblin hordes, who only cared for their own agenda.

Just how mods/admins only cared about theirs as well.
But while civics was a blessing, it was also a curse as well.
That meant Ivan and Naomi had to make them come out of secrecy, whether friend or foe, and teach them a lesson in respect.

[Reizon]

Ivan and Naomi found a house on the edge of the toxins, with a few druid residences.
They looked at the two carefully, and realized that they were here for a prophecy.

"The fall of America marks the rise of proper civics. it's the time for that, but the people aren't ready." They said.

But they would never be ready. They had to be, but they never would. So, not to be a tyrant, Ivan and Naomi had to eliminate these accursed goblins, as stated.

The druid pointed to the north. Of course it would be north, towards the ice fields... it was an irony written in stone.
So much so, it was practically a joke.

A JOKE! And yes, at the expense of these two.
So there.

[Reizon]

They finally found the location of the goblin base, near some fallen aircraft. This was due to having a few points in terra.

Terra Score: 3
Siege Score: 2

But the goblins had 3 points in both guardian and siege... it proved that I needed more karma...
but how would I obtain such? I had some notions...

[Reizon]

"We DONT care for your petty reality, SIR. Now leave us alone or else!" They threatened. Like usual, only caring about their own agenda. It was a plague, to say the least, and Ivan plus Naomi were already sick and tired of this kind of madness. Drawing swords, Ivan said: "How dare you. Prove to us your properly civil, or this is war. We have our orders from the prime engineer. And don't give us that crap about ethics nor morals either, sir."

It was likely that the goblins would see this as a threat, and worse, probably trolling as well. While it was meant to be condescending, it was definitely not meant to be rude in any way, shape, or form. We were just sick of the lack of proper civics, and these goblins were definitely showing a serious lack...

But how would these goblins prove they were properly civil?
... Indeed.

[Reizon]

The place was definitely getting worse for the show. There Ivan and Naomi were, probably in the most accursed of areas, only trying to salvage a proper image in the face of adversity. Now it was beginning to have a terrible myriad of traps and pitfalls of all things.

But the two were doing great now. There was an essence feeding these gobin attacks, and they were hunting for his soul in these accursed ruins. AIRCRAFT RUINS, mind you. They would settle for no less than restoring this mighty aircraft so they could finally lay siege against the sky pirates.

That suggested they needed aviators, however... along with plenty of extra elements.
But they were struggling to even face these goblins.

At least it was something... but would anyone properly start caring?
Probably not.

[Reizon]

I was brought before the command central, those accursed imperials, just enforcing their laws. And like usual, only caring for ethics and morals above all else. They warned me not to tamper with those accursed goblins which followed their policies of all things...

And in doing so, lost not only the trust and respect of these imerians, but me as well. The more they persisted I back down, the more the fire element in me burned even greater.

One old wisdom I learned was never to face the fire head on. But that's exactly what they were doing.

But what element would they position themselves on?
Probably either paladin or overlord, knowing them...
But that suggested that Ivan and Naomi take the position of ninja/samurai...
Even they agreed that would be too dangerous, however...

So, one thing was certain. The sludge had to be dealt with. But that still led back to the accursed goblins...

Goblins... good in siege!

Thus, it was time for the pirate, navy, and aqua unlocks.
Just because they refused to take civil responsibility.

[Reizon]

All this fuss was causing even more ruins to emerge. The end result was terrible, causing erosion to unlock all too readily. It was bad enough they were in ruins, but now they were starting to crumble because proper imerians didn't care to enter.

All it proved was how horrible the lack of civics in people...
And Ivan plus Naomi were JUST annoyed because of this.

With good reason as well..

When would they care, like it or not?
Probably never.

"A real warrior never refuses a challenge"
- This suggested an insult, however... to what a warrior wouldn't care about: morals, of course.

[Reizon]

Ivan and Naomi finally found the source of the contamination, and realized that the base 10 elements already existed: Fire, Lightning, Ice, Wind, Water, Earth, Light, Dark, War, and Mystic.

This new area, of course, had quarantine but it also had item causing resources to emerge.
That explained why the recruits had armaments, but more importantly, it gave the prime imerian team a conducive lead on just how corrupt the people really were.

Examining the soldiers, they began the process of opposing this corruption.

[Reizon]

This picture explained the situation. Those blasted Sanuvian raiders had arrived here and warned the more corrupt officials. And of course, they wouldn't care much at all.. only giving ultimatums to this manifesto AND reality.

Tyrrany in action. So Ivan and Naomi began their siege.



They found the temple empty, of course. Nobody in their mind would ever care for proper civics. The cost would be their morality, and that always meant it was too much. But proper civics was essential in this day and age... not withstanding the regression of most people.

So, another accursed dead-end...
Dang it anyhow.

[Reizon]

New sources: Beast, Monster, Nature

Some wraiths emerged. Of course it had to be wraiths, but the problem was the lack of magics.
And worse, there was almost no way to gain magics due to the situation.

Thus, Ivan plus Naomi fled...

[Reizon]

Ivan and Naomi looked at the imerian source after walking there. Sensing another set of elements, the life and death sources were there.

"It's coming now. Quite a few elements are automatically unlocking, and we have no clues why they come without druid..." Ivan said.

But the answer came from your reactions, mainly. These sources were emerging due to your actions and beliefs. On writing this, Ivan and Naomi realized such, but couldn't comprehend due to the fact that the proper elements didn't exist yet.

At least they knew now, however.
And thus, it was time to arm themselves.
War was brewing, and the land that was to come, well, it had to be Imperia...
But that would prove dangerous...

[Reizon]

Ivan and Naomi managed to develop some respirators, allowing them to be minimally quarantined. Donning them, they finally entered the more lethal areas, intending to save those people from themselves.

At least it was a step

Quarantine 3

[Reizon]

Of course nobody cares... good bye.
