[OOC] Darkness and Light

[Cultural Titan]

@Absolis

Couldn't say. I'm here like all the time even if I don't say anything, but I know virtually nobody else is. I think ultimately individuals will need to be judged on their own patterns. Not that I really understand everyone's posting patterns yet.

[Absolis]

They seems to be on in the morning for me, so if they are going to post tomorrow its going to be before the time I named.

[Cultural Titan]

So for review by everyone I present the new lore on the state of the world and how Nyarlathotep fits in to fuck things up. This will in theory replace the opening blurb at the start of the rp. Full lore for places on the map and various other things like the undead or demons will come later. Because of my sloth. For now though any questions, comments concerns or suggested additions or subtractions are welcome.

"I have seen it. The eternal dance of the radiant light, and the cold shadow."

In this world, there is darkness and there is light. These two opposing forces, forever intertwined by a cruel fate, govern the laws of our known world and our very existence itself. Everything possesses a soul; the container in which these forces battle from the moment we are born, to the moment we die. Yet, even bound by this fate, the miraculous act of being alive grants us the power to influence the soul with our actions. With acts of kindness and selflessness, our inner light can shine brightly and illuminate the dark. On the other hand, acts of evil and cruelty beckon the darkness; snuffing out the light.

Yet no matter how hard some may try, our souls cannot exist without both light and dark. Even the most righteous of men can still fall prey to sin, and the most misguided individual may redeem themselves. It is the ebb and flow of the soul that makes us mortal, as well as keeps the world in balance. So what if this delicate balance was tipped by someone completely outside of our worlds laws? What if a being of pure darkness or pure light entered our world?

Everything changed when a Demon of the Abyss; the place where souls tainted by darkness go after death, broke all the laws of nature by linking their existence to the Soul. Every time a person fueled the darkness within them, they indirectly allowed this monster to grow in power. It grew, using it's influence to sway others to commit horrendous, irredeemable acts of evil that shrouded their souls in the dark; all while providing more power to the Demon. The balance disrupted, with souls of pure darkness inhabiting mortals, the world was thrown into chaos. Natural disasters ravaged the land, men slaughtered each other in brutal wars and the horrible demon that started all of our suffering was released unto the world with the intent of sinking everything into the Darkness.

"Ordinary men like you and I, but their souls are tainted and they know only evil. Truly, is there anyone we can really trust anymore?"

I like it :)

Where'd everyone go?

[Cultural Titan]

@IcePezz

I don't know where everyone went I feel so alone!

[Absolis]

I'm here. I'm doing dishes and chores though.

[IcePezz]

Lol its alright. I'm at work, dealing with an obnoxious Co worker :p and eating chocolate covered blueberries

[The_written_John]

I'l make a post in an hour or two maybe, there's a lot to read :p lol.

[Crimson Raven]

@Icepezz can you have her adress him directly? I don't have much to go on, considering Aegis would not do anything but keep walking.

[Cultural Titan]

@IcePezz@Crimson Raven

Failing that I'm sure I can use my infinite power to make you two interact.

[Frengo]

@Crimson Raven@IcePezz

Giving you both space to finish that interaction; Kalar and his rangers are marching onward down the road, and wont notice your characters unless an opportunity presents itself.

@YaminoNeko2341 has about ten minutes before I just plop Adria down on the same road as everyone else and call it a day.

[Cultural Titan]

I mean I will eventually use my infinite power to fuck with everyone, but seeing as characters are just getting introduced to on another I figured I should wait.

[The_written_John]

Rida does any more shit like that and Alistair's going to fucking Road Roller her!

@The_written_John

XD He's gonna end up either in mud or have horse poop in his face then XD

[IcePezz]

If I'm still allowed to edit, or make another post, I can definitely fix it to where she pursues an interaction. You just gotta give me a bit. Still at work for another hour and a half.

[Cultural Titan]

@IcePezz

I have no problem with people editing their posts to either correct mistakes or facilitate the the plot or roleplaying.

[Absolis]

Posting now. I just got out of school

@Firetigress3

Barely started reading your post when I realized we have never made a point of putting Havenford on the map. well, I know why its not on the map, its because its a territory, not a place, but we should probably figure out where that territory is. As for how long it took you to post... meh. Its fine if you don't post all the time. i mean I would apreciate it if everyone was always on and always contributing to the ic and ooc, but that would be impractical.

@Cultural Titan

Well, I'm not really too picky where Haverford is exactly, but I think it should probably be somewhere close to the castle, based on what I mentioned in my post.

Sorry I'm not on more often! I'll try to be on more frequently, it's been a little hectic lately. But my schedule should be back to normal in a week or so.
