There is a great turmoil erupting in the World: From the plains to the mountains, terrible earthquakes violently rumble across the land, causing great buildings to tumble and homes to be destroyed. The fishing boats are being rocked by ferocious waves and fierce storms. The simple folk are being stricken by terrible plagues and sicknesses, and many are dying. On some occasions, there is what seems to be fire in the skies; Terrible red clouds that spit horrible fiery rocks to the earth, devastating the world further.
Some folks and soothsayers are saying that the terrible events that are transpiring are a message from the gods, a message stating the world has been corrupted by greed and selfishness, and that the only way to cleanse the earth is to destroy its denizens completely. Riots are being staged to the leaders of the land, and martial law has been placed. People are being slain in the madness left and right, adding to the devastation that is already occurring. Crime is booming. Looters and robbers are taking claim to the land that is shrouded in chaos and darkness. In this bleak time, there is almost no one with a positive outlook...
However, in this madness, there may be a way to end the wrath of the gods...
So welcome and such to Wrath of Gods: An Apocalyptic journey to end, well, the end basically. The main chunk of plot will be handed to you very early in the story, so your character's goal will be revealed soon.
Some basic groundwork to be laid out:
1.) Be...excellent to each other. In other words: behave children. I don't want any OOC fighting. We're all reasonable people here (I hope).
2.) As I stated in the interest check, this is a very seriously themed RP, and due to the extreme circumstances of the RP's world, there will be a lot of hardships and not-so-happy things going on. If you came here for a basic "Save the girl" type Role-play, prepare to be disappointed.
3.) No God-Modding, character killing (without my permission), OP characters, or extreme deus-ex-machina BS to be pulled out of your characters. Everyone's character is going to be a relatively normal person.
4.) Be sure to post in reasonable intervals. No offense, but if I see pages and pages worth of 1x1's right out of the gate, I may seriously scream be very disappointed. Be sure to give your fellow RP'ers time to post.
5.) If you have any questions, concerns, complaints or suggestions, you can drop me a PM or post it right here in the OOC anytime and I will be sure to get back to you in a very timely manner.
I'm going to post the introductory post once I have a few people accepted already. Anyway, here are the sheets:
CS:Name: (Self Explanatory)
Age: (Young adult/teenager to Old-man basically. No 10 year old mage prodigy's or whatever.)
Race: (Standard fantasy requirements, Humans, dwarfs, ect...:)
Appearance: (Preferably non-anime, but if you absolutely must, go ahead.)
Occupation: (You can range from a peasant to a soldier. In terms of jobs, you can be pretty much anything except anything high class, for story purposes. However, if you opt to be a soldier of sorts, you must be low-ranked.)
Personality: (Another given. Just please don't ham it up if you're going the "dark and brooding anti-hero" route...)
Bio: (Doesn't have to be in excruciating detail, just a little background on character.)
Equipment: (Weapons are allowed, but if you're character is someone with a non-violent background you're gonna have to sort of either improvise or come up with a good excuse. As we go along, our characters will find better stuff, so start small. No carrying "The level-8 super-powered master sword inherited from his demi-god father" or whatnot.)
Talents/Traits: (Everyone's gotta pull their weight somehow, you know. Correlates to your occupation and background.)
