I'm thinking about starting my very first RP. The idea I have is roughly something like this:
Hundreds of years ago, there was a massive battle. Not one warrior or civilian involved survived. However, every person who died had their soul imprisoned inside an object. Doesn't matter what the object was, from pieces of armor to swords to children's toys to simple rocks. These Artifacts ended up scattered about the globe. Every so often, one is discovered and eventually awakened. When awoken, they bind themselves to the nearest person and grant them various abilities. These can range from psychokinesis to flight to super strength. The downside is that if an Artifact is destroyed, so is the Host. These powers and abilities are used at the discretion of the Host, no matter how the Artifact feels about it. (Huh? Oh, right, the Artifacts are sentient. They can talk to their Host and each other). This tends to bring out the best... and worst in the Host.
There's some other stuff involved, but I can work it out if I decide to go through with it. Right now, I just want some feedback. I know it kinda sucks, but I made the whole thing up on a walk around the block. It all started with the idea of a Psychic Blind Swordsman inspired by Kenshi from Mortal Kombat.
