OOC;Here!

I'm bored of Roleplays always playing the good side, the paladins, the clerics, on the side of the right and holy. So! I've decided to mix it up.
The idea is a new emergent religion of 'the cleansing light' has formed, and has managed to get a huge following among humans (Normal humans, this is important.) because it grants them holy powers and the ability to fight mages by drawing on 'the power of the true goddess.' Only problem with this is that the religion decrees all 'non pure' creatures are not worthy of life.
so basicly any sentient creature who isn't human, and any magical humans (mages, witches, scryers ect) are hunted down and killed.

all those who are left alive have retreated to the wood-sea, a huge forest which covers over 50% of the continant and half the shoreline. the trees are said to have been planted by the gods (not the new ones) at the dawn of the world, and are protected. all anyone knows is that you can't cut down one of the trees, oh meany have tried. non have been alive after. Yes. the trees are ALIVE. Deep within this wood-sea, there is a huge network of dark stone tunnels, big enough to hold a village inside of them, stretching for kilometres, and every so often a massive tower erupts from the top of the canopy, stretching past the two and a half kilometer tall trees. reaching up to scratch the clouds. and within each of these towers lives those who have escaped the fervent attempts to kill them by the 'order of the cleansing light.'
We are such outcasts, creatures of all races, all different, even the humans among us live with powers. and we all live in one such tower,

So! now the idea has been explained, who'd like to reserve a flat/house for his/her survivor?
Please note; Rooms are roughly the same size as a 3 bedroom two story 'flat' not luxuriously big, but not diddly either. However they can be adjusted, IE if you're a swamp troll you're rooms will probably be bigger and damper.

This seems interesting but I don't get how we wouldn't be the "good guys," this is clearly an "oppressive government leads to large-scale rebellion for good" rp.

Not really, we'd be playing the vampires, the undead, demons, werewolves, everything that a 'normal' RPG would class as the bad guys.
sorry to say that there is no plans for people to rise up and throw off the 'good guys.' we'd be exploring the side that loses (most of the time). if there is a huge shift by all the players for it to be more a 'oppressive government' rp, the I'll shift it that way but I wasn't planning to write it that way.
but I do see your point. I guess the title was a bit misleading. Oh well. sounds good.

Those kinds of races are definitely the outcast types, but that doesn't automatically make them antagonists. Take Vampire the Masquerade for example, or the Underworld movies.

Either way I'd still play this, it's still a very good concept.

I have one happy little fella who's not too fond of humans in general, and being hunted...well, just trumps it up. He's a Halfling-rouge Psi-Assassin who has fun with targets...and has a habit of driving the DMs he's worked with mildly insane.

Colour me interested, I'll await an OOC.

Until then, one question: are any and all folk lore 'nasties' up for play? (Shtriga, Tulpa, Black Dog, Skin Walker etc...) Or are you using primarily traditional fantasy monsters? (Orc, Goblin, ghoul etc...)

Anything that you can think of that would fall under 'bad guy' in any mythology. if you want to play a version of fenrir or a mind feind, or hell I'd be chill with someone playing a toned down version of Yog'shggoth so long as he wasn't capable of killing a army.

Alright. William has talked me into. I usually avoid the darker side, but I do have a character who I think would make an interesting addition to the mix.

Allright I'll get the OOC up asap. Probably within the next hour and a half. I'll start expanding on the story and a few of the finer details as we go.
