Hey folks, this is the first Advanced RP I've ever attempted, so try not to judge me too harshly on its potentially crappy quality.
I've only recently in the past few months gotten into the Dark Souls Universe, and I think its a truly amazing game, and having both played a substantial amount of the game myself and seen the lore videos of Vaativyda and Epicnamebro, I feel there are opportunities to make a good RP off of the Universe of the first game. I say the first game, because honestly with what I have seen of the second one, I haven't found it as compelling in terms of the story compared to the first.
What did I have in mind? Making a story off of the period in the Dark Souls Lore I'm deciding to call The Occult War. For those who don't know, this is the period in time at the height of the Age of Fire where a bunch of Humans attempted to steal the Lord's Soul of Gravelord Nito for their own devices, and they crafted special Occult weapons to wound and perhaps even kill the Gods to try and help accomplish this goal. Many high ranking members of the Church of the Way of White were possibly involved in this event, including perhaps even Bishop Havel, The Rock, a close friend and battle companion of Lord Gwyn.
The RP would basically try to make a story out of this event, showing the response of the Lords and their allies versus the Occultists and their supporters. Since this event is not strictly defined as to what specifically happened in regards to the Dark Souls Canon, other than the fact that it failed; I intend to make this fairly creative in regards to how it started and what happened as it progressed. We'd probably all play as humans, with our alliances falling wherever we choose, with the Lords, the Occultists, or themselves.
Anyone interested? I'm looking for more than a few players and one or two Co-GMs who know the original Dark Souls Lore pretty well and have run or participated in advanced RPs before to help me design a proper setup and story.
