[OOC] Plague of the North

[rivaan]

let's hope he is still in the land of hte living (aka here )and wasn't dragged away somewhere by the evil ghost of real world!

[Fat Boy Kyle]

@Fat Boy Kyle you here are two questions for you:

can magic forcibly transform a human into other creature permanately

also can I make another character just for the sake of making another character xD I'm going crazy here. I need something to do even if that character doesn't enter the story

@rivaan

1. It'd have to be some pretty strong ass magic; stronger magic than any character mentioned so far has. And even then you could only really create abominations (e.g. trying to turn someone into a dog would probably create more of a mutant dog or even a werewolf, rather than a standard dog).

2. I guess, although I would be inclined to suggest that any new characters form a different group so we could get a couple of different story lines on the go. For example, you could create a new character approaching Minorhold from the South or something.

[Fat Boy Kyle]

Sorry it's taking so long! I haven't gotten a response back from @Fat Boy Kyle in a while in our collab /:

@MacabreFox

Sorry about that; tbh I just haven't even checked it in a while! I'll take a gander now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Personality】
 
Chambala was once an extremely happy child. She would often run around and play. She was bright, friendly to everyone and loved to talk to travelers and hear stories about distant lands. Well that was all before she was taken into slavery.

Now Chambala is quite easy to scare, she is panicky and paranoid. She is mostly closed off, preferring to keep to herself and talks very little, especially with strangers. When before she loved to talk to everyone, now she feels innate fear from every person she doesn't know and rarely comes to trust people. She likes to hide away when scared and is often later found in some hidy-hole or up a tree. Additionally she is now quite emotionally unstable on top of everything else. With what she was transformed into, she has a constant beastial presence at the back of her mind, that always tries to take over her. Thus she is also often quite distracted, especially if she is trying to keep those beastial instincts in check. When taken over by those instincts of a beast, she pretty much almost loses the ability to reason for a time, such cases are usually cased by extreme anger of fear. In some rare cases, certain individuals who she deeply regards as a friend can snap her out of her transformation and into her cases.

Chambala also have extreme fear from men with beards... Her master was one such man and he often caged her then had her tortured just so she can transform. He did it for both entertainment and sometimes he would throw people he dislikes in with her so she tears them to pieces. If she sees a man with beard and he tries to approach her closely, she usually starts panicking. Her fear then is usually so strong that it paralyzes her mind to the point she doesn't even transform if the bearded man in question doesn't try to hurt her.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【History】
Chambala was born in the village of Saltybay, a small fisherman town beyond the seas and far from the Northern continents. She was born into a small family of 3. Her mother was a tailor while her father was a sailor. She had a decent live at the time, with her small town being a port one, she often met travelers and loved to hear stories of distant lands of magic and adventure and bizarre strange lands. When she was 5 her town was hit by raiders from the seas. Most people were killed some children and women were taken as slaves to be sold later.

The voyage in the hold of the grim ship was a nightmare she tries to not remember. The darkness, the lack of food and the misery they had to survive in. They were chained to the ship's hull, could barely barely move and by the time they were finally brought out from it, they were very long away from their home. At first their eyes hurt because of all of the time they spend in the darkness. They didn't know where they were and were brought out on a big wooden stage in front of hundreds of people. Slowly each of the slaves were sold out to different people. Chambala was last for her slavers thought she was a very high quality good. When she was put for auction, the bids exploded, everyone wanted to buy her. Until some robed people appeared and threw a big bag of gold into the feet of the slavers, buying her and any leftover slaved they had.

It turned out the people who bought her were some kind of mages or something. They dragged all their newly acquired slaves away into some dungeons. If the ship was horrible, then the few years she spend in those endless dungeons was hell. They would be barely fed, they would barely see the light of the sun. Every day it was the same, her and the other slaves would be dragged away from their cells and were put into series of tests and then experimented on. It was a painful things, but eventually they decided on specific experiment for her. They tries to create some kind of soldier type or tool, maybe they only really wanted just to test what will happen, but they tried to turn her into a mountain cat. The experiment was only half successful. Her body changed somewhat, her hair turned very light brown and her eyes turned bright green and yellow. Her nails also grew longer and thinker, turning into claws. Even her teeth grew slightly longer and more pointed similar to that of a cat. The worst part was the constant presence in her mind, the animal instincts were so strong and scary for the young girl. Sometimes she would lose control of them, lose herself to them and in return her body changed into something more akin to the mountain cat. Something in between, still retaining humanoid shape, but bigger with fur and more transformations causing her to look even more like a monstrous beast. In that state she would always go berserk, behaving like an animal, barely able to think.

After that experiment, the mages seemed to have lost interest in her, because they simply kept her locked away for a while. Eventually they found no reason to keep her in anymore, she was of no real use in her state, so they decided to sell her, after all she was already a slave, but now her price grew even more because of how exotic creature she was.

She was bought by a wealthy man who shipped her away to the North, the kingdom of Vasili. She was kept as a pet for her new master, put on a metal least and chained nearby with her chain just long enough for her to not be able to harm him if she goes on a rampage. She was constantly abused in various of ways in that place, even forced to kill people as she was forced to turn berserk and in that state she ripped people her master didn't like. She was often force to eat food scraps or even raw meat when her master wanted to bring guests over to see her. That way it made her look even more animalish and exotic according to him. She didn't really want to eat raw meat, but the hunger makes a person change a lot of values.

This continued for years as the tortures and abused just continued and grew even more severe and diverse. Sometimes her master would chain her and force himself on her, it was a painful experience especially for someone so young. In time she acquired such a fear from him, that she would simply freeze unable to do anything in his presence.

Despite everything, one day luck smiled on her. As usual she was left in her master's room, chained to the wall, when a fire broke out in the mansion. As all the servants and other slaves were panicking and evacuating the place, trying to safe as much of the valuables of their master, he gave the order to save his most prices pet. They quickly came and tried to drag her away to safety, but she tried to resist. After all if she could die, then the nightmare will end and she won't have to live like this anymore. She couldn't really prevail over the many people who pulled her chains, thus she was dragged away and placed in a cage, then put on a carriage and headed towards her master's other mansion in another town. During the voyage, while passing through an unstable wooden bridge in a forest, over a big river, the old decaying wood gave away to the weight and the entire carriage fell down. It was a very painful fall, but she survived and to her pleasant surprise, she found the cage quite.. busted. Afterwards she just left it, and ran away into the woods. She didn't really know where she was heading, she just ran as fast as her legs allowed her to. Her chains were still dangling around her neck, arms and feet, but despite that and the cold, she ran, ran faster than a normal human her age should be able to.

After a few days of running away, she finally stopped, it was an open field around her now. She didn't really know where she was, she never really knew at all. All she knew were the walls at her master's home... her nightmarish prison. In the distance she saw a few small houses. Carefully she approached, but found the farmhouses abandoned. She heard heard the whispers about some plague coming down from the north, maybe the people ran away? Feeling extremely hungry, cold and tired, she entered one of the farmhouses. It was a two story one, so she took this slowly just in case there was something lurking around. As her stomach demanded most immediate resolution, she rummaged through the kitchen. There wasn't much left, but she managed to find some old slightly molded bread and some conserves in clay jars. It wasn't much, but it at least satisfied her hunger. She then proceeded into sneaking upstairs and for a first time in a very long time, she slept in a bed, with the warmth of blankets and the softness of fur.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Skills and Abilities】
 Chambala barely has any real skills or abilities. She knows a little bit of how to take care of a house, but that's about it. Her combat abilities are pretty much whatever beastial instincts kick in, whenever she isn't so afraid she runs away and hides.

Her most important ability is her transformation into her beastial form. It's something she has very little control of when happens and has even less while it's happening. She is barely able to think through all the urges and instincts when she is a monster. She tries to keep the beast in check, but it requires a lot of focus and willpower to do so, especially when it's agitated.

In her more human state, she possess increased endurance, strength and speed. But not of a too great degree, it's still possible for someone who trained a lot to keep up with her or to easily beat her in raw strength. When she is a beast, all her strength is boosted to immense degree. She is fast, strong and capable to tear people with her claws.

@rivaan

Good! She should add a new flavour to the RP. The only thing I would say (which isn't even a criticism, just something to be pointed out) is that most people would be fearful and hateful towards mutants/monsters/freaks/etc., be it because of religion or simply a fear of the unknown. That doesn't really have much of a baring on your backstory as she must have been kept fairly secretive (as slavery of course is illegal in the Vasili), but it will/should effect the future of your character. Because of this we'll have to think of a good way of her being introduced to the group - one that doesn't instantly result in the Agents screaming and stabbing at her :P

[rivaan]

@Fat Boy Kyle I know that :3, but considering she has almost as much fear from people now as they fear her, she will generally try to stay away from them. UNless something REALLY get's her curiosity picked... or their food smells just that delicious and she is hungry xD

[Fat Boy Kyle]

If you want to write about in her perspective on a side story feel free to do so. Also, if any of you want to take over Chester and the others to defend the gate and go along with Karen's oil plan (which funnily enough was what I had in mind before), feel free to put it on a titan pad and send me a link; I don't mind you taking over, as long as I'm able to check in.

Otherwise, I'll get a post up whenever I get some time.

[rivaan]

@Fat Boy Kyle hey I edited the lil adorable animal's side story into Karen's last post :3 what do ya think?

[Fat Boy Kyle]

@Fat Boy Kyle hey I edited the lil adorable animal's side story into Karen's last post :3 what do ya think?

@rivaan

Good, although you might as well put post it separately so that it's clear there's a new post. I like that the men weren't completely evil douchébags; it's nice to some humanity every now and again in a world full of suffering.

[rivaan]

@Fat Boy Kyle Well yeah. I figured since she is well kind of a secret, her master will send servants to get her, but they themselves know how she is treated. Thus BAM! a good lil moment of kindness and humanity~ She will be heading north for a reason completely different than the consano. The way I will word it in a next post down the line will be the fact the so rummored land of magic to the far north where everything is possible. The tale that was circulating in the place she was experimented on. mythical place where everyone can live normally and restored from their monstrous selves. ^_^ and considering she still basically a child she totally beleaves that story... or at least has no other choice than to believe, cause if it's not real then her existence will be just that much harder to bear.

@MacabreFox@Denalz@Fat Boy Kyle

by the power of TAGS I summon all of you! What shall we do, as much as it pains me, do we consider this dying?

[Fat Boy Kyle]

I don't like to call any RP dead unless I'm the only person left with a shred of interest. Unfortunately, as you might be able to tell from my activity feed, I've not been on the guild at all recently. I have however just left my job meaning that I currently have an extra 30 hours spare each week. I'm also about to take my driving test, meaning that I'll be freeing up around another 12 hours a week (I have to travel hours just for the lessons). So hopefully there should be no reason why I can't pull my finger our and give this RP a huge boot forwards.

HOLY COW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE ALIVE!!!
Thank the great cheese!*jumps on the ground praying*
Sorry if I sounded bad there by asking about that. It's just htat it appeared dead... and I didn't want it to die so I tried to gave it a lil shock jump with htat.

[Denalz]

I'm still around. I really don't care how slowly this moves. I can put a post in every couple months for years if that;s how it goes.

[rivaan]

@Denalz another survivor!!! Gosh I was beggining to think I was robinson crusoe in zombieland lol

[Fat Boy Kyle]

Due to my on-going shitness, this RP has probably gone beyond the point of saving. I'm going to shelve this for now, but it's safe to say that I'd love to reboot this in the future (so stay subscribed). If anyone wants to steal this world and idea then by all means please do, just ensure you send me an invite haha

You've all been great and I'm sorry I let you down

[rivaan]

@Fat Boy Kyle Q_Q

[Fat Boy Kyle]

Did someone say "reboot"?

No? Oh, must have just been my imagination.
