Plague of the North

The Northern Lands are harsh and unforgiving at the best of times,
but now an evil seeps down from the uncharted lands threatening to engulf all that stand in its way.
The evil of which I speak? The Black Blood Plague.
It corrupts the minds of men and women, adults and children,
dogs and beasts, and turns them into mindless cannibals.
It is up to you to investigate this scourge,
and bring an end to it before it takes everyone you love.


Genre:
High fantasy mixed with zombies. High-mystery-fantasy-zombie-apocalypse-survival-thriller-thingy!

The Setting:
This RP is set in the fictional fantasy world of Olympus. Set in it’s Northern Lands (as it is referred to in the South), the Celtobar Peninsular has become a rallying point for the Kingdom of Vasili and refugees from the various tribes along its Northern borders. The threat is a magical plague that is quickly moving south and has been called ‘The Black Blood’ because of the physical effect is has on its victims. Those that are infected become highly aggressive, mindless, cannibalistic, and their blood thickens and turns black. So far there has been no cure, but priests seem to be confident that this is the result of dark magic, not nature. The only hope it would seem, would be to find the source and destroy it. Unfortunately the lands to the far North are inhospitable and full of dark creatures, and even the tribes try to stay as southward as they can.

Now the main cities of Vasili are becoming full of hatred, as refugees clog the streets and increase the chance of the plague breaching the walls. Without the farms being worked, food stores are also declining at a fast rate. This has only deepened existing resentment however, for the Kingdom has fought the tribes for centuries and there is no shortage of bad blood. Even those wanting to flee south are finding it hard, for across the channel is the Kingdom of Dawn, who are currently at war with the Kingdom of Vasili; any ships attempting to cross have been sought out and either sunk or burned.

Desperate, King Barius of House Vasili has withdrawn his troops from the North and has doubled his effort to take the White Coast and expand into the territory of Dawn. But he knows that this is not enough, and now he has trusted generals and advisors in each city to draw together teams of investigators to uncover the truth behind the plague. These investigators, known as the Consano, are being told to meet at a town named The Cross Roads. Here there is also an opportunity for others to join the group, but only if Sir Chester and Lady Buxton think they are worthy.



Some Handy Key Points (maybe):
  • There is magic, but it's uncommon
  • The plague has no cure
  • Characters must bring something to the team, but that doesn't mean I want them to be OP
  • Knights are very rare
  • Travelling is, unfortunately, a thing in this RP
  • Technology and culture wise, this is much like the middle ages
  • No guns or even gunpowder
  • This could be described as 'low-advanced' purely because I myself am a bit shit. But I like reading other people's great quality work, so I expect more from you than myself :P



TL;DR - Medieval fantasy world were there's a magical zombie(-esque) plague sweeping south. Players will be adventurers investigating the plague.

If you are interested then of course say so! If you wish to join then please post a Character Sheet! Please copy and paste the CS Sheet found here, but do not edit it! Once I have accepted your character sheet please post it on this Character Page. ALSO USE HIDERS!!!

Awesome character, and you have a really decent standard of writing. However there are unfortunately a couple of issues regarding the timeline; the infection is a very recent thing, and was only spotted seven weeks ago. This isn't your fault, its mine, as I forgot to include that piece of information in the details. So massive apologies!

Also, the investigation team (The Consano) will be restricted number wise simply because of resources. There would have to be a good reason for Sir Chester and Lady Buxton to allow your character's daughter to come along. If you can think of a decent reason that would convince me, then let me know and get working on a short CS for her. I wouldn't expect a big CS for her because her history is mostly included in Roven's, but just let us know a bit more about her appearance, personality, abilities, etc.

I hope this doesn't put you off! I've also added a bit more detail about the plague, as well as some info about hierarchy in the Kingdom.

@Fat Boy Kyle

The plague appearance is no problem, I can fix it! Also, my character has a really good reason why he needs his daughter around. She's the one that speaks for him since she's the only living person that can understand how to translate his glowering looks and grunts into words. Since he doesn't have a tongue and all that, innit.

Much to my annoyance, I am unable to find a single thing to bitch about. Accepted! I noticed you added some details about the religion which I didn't say,but I actually think that's a positive thing; I'm happy for players to add lore and such, and I'll try my best not to hinder your creativity. If anyone happens to say something that is against the existing lore/timeline/etc. I'll point it out,but don't let it deter you.

No problemo

None spring to mind



So you all know, I'm in no immediate rush to start. The sooner the better of course, but I want to give people ample time to join. As for RP pacing, if there's one thing I've learnt it is that RPs continue to live because the players are patient and continue to post even after weeks of inactivity, not because players post regularly. Never think of an Rp as dead, just think of it as quiet!

Strongly considering adding a CS. I love this particular concept. I've never written from a female character POV, but I'm considering giving it a shot. Are we looking for a specific male to female ratio in this group?

We should be able to pair up for the love making scenario's.

Just kidding, I have no clue. I think we have pretty much all males so far so you can't go wrong pretty much.

@Denalz Write that CS and join this awesome RP, buddy! Also, I don't think it matters what the ratio is, but if you wanna make a female character, go ahead! There'll be someone for Evelyn to talk and look up to, innit!
