Powerless Priestess

Now, it's just about midnight and you really have to start falling asleep. You try to set your tent,, failing a few times before finally giving up. Instead, you just take out your bedroll and lie down on it, trying to sleep. It's nothing like the luxurious bed with warm blankets you've gotten so used to, quit the opposite; bare, cold and uncomfortable. Even so, you're desperate for sleep, and you persevere for about 15 minutes before waking up again. You try a few more times. Then it starts raining.

You're absolutely soaking wet and looking for shelter under a tree or anything else, but it almost seems like you'll be forced to wake up wetter than water. You manage to get a few hours of sleep, but you mostly stay awake to get a bit warmer. It's barely the start of a new day, and you're exhausted, soaking wet, and quite sleepy. Being able to see things a bit better, you can barely discern a figure in the distance through a few trees.

Powerless Priestess

You've got next to nothing in your rucksack; you've got a bit of food, a few books and of course the dragon-shaped talisman of Taeshiu, as well as your significant personal fortune, and you try to become better prepared for the journey ahead. You get a sleeping roll, some supplies, a tent and a dagger, while keeping a large part of your fortune for later. You've tried to consult a few adventurers and ask if they want to join your journey, but nobody is interested; they all say that they've got more interesting things to do with their time.

Now it's dusk, and you understand that the city guard will be on your head in a moment, so you've decided to leave the gates. You have virtually no skill with survival, and you're really worried about the night to come.

Powerless Priestess

They answer: "No, you're following a forbidden god! The city guard discovered it while you were in church, and you've got until the end of the day to leave this city, or face death! Following heathen beliefs is an incredibly great offense when you're a high priestess, and We would kill you here if we could! Leave this city now!"

The closest settlement is hundreds of miles away, through merciless wilderness, and you're very poorly equipped for a trek there, lacking skills and gear. However, you've got a lot of money, so you could easily buy a lot of important supplies for your journey, but still...

Powerless Priestess

After a few sleeping minutes, you wake up, realizing that you've just collapsed in the church, and you finally start going home. You're obviously exhausted, but a pious follower helps you on your way home, all the way across the city. Now, you're outside your fron door and say goodbye to the kind man who helped you on your way home. Being a priestess has quite a few advantages!

Now, you've managed to climb your way into bed, shambling through your house, and you start falling asleep in your big and soft bed with warm blankets and fluffy pillows, fading away into the best sleep you'll probably have all year...

Powerless Priestess

You're in church, holding a new years' sermon and painfully exhausted. You've been standing and reading from the Chronicle for most of the day, as you're supposed to read it to completion once a year and you've been slacking lately. Anyway, you're talking to a massive cathedral filled with people from all across the city, and your voice is being amplified by the powers of Lopre, so that you at least don't lose your voice. You're reading through the very last sentences of the Chronicle, before holding a new years' prayer. The new year is marked as mustical fireworks fill the cathedral, together with beautful music, created by divine powers.

Now, the celebration has ended and you're in the first few hours of the new year. Although everyone but one or two very pious people have left, you still have to wait a bit longer, because you have to read a lot each day to get through the Codex. Now, it's the middle of the night, and you collapse as you finish your reading of the Codex.

Powerless Priestess

Well, I'm starting to feel lonely.

Powerless Priestess

Yes, you're approved, and the RP will begin shortly! But spaces...

Hello World!

I'm interest-checking a 1x1 CYOA where you're a Powerless Priestess, I've ran an RP on another forum about the zombie apocalypse, that ended like this:

Ending

Me: "You meet up with an old friend, and start a conversation. Suddenly, a guard comes, claiming that your old friend is masterminding the assassination of a noble, and before you do anything, he admits to it! What do you do?"

The participants: "Kick the guard in the nuts and run away!"

Me: "You're stopped by said noble, who is in full combat armor and heavily armed! You think running away was a bad idea, because you weren't in any trouble. What do you do?"

The participants: "Try to kill her!"

Me: "You fail, and now you're surrounded by the police. What do you do?"

The participants: "Try to kill them!"

Me: "You're all shot! You're all dead"

The participants: "No we're not! You're being an asshole!"

Me: "Yes you are!"

And that ends the RP.

Powerless Priestess

I've always wondered, why is religion so often glossed over in games? We see lots of paladins and clerics, people doing the work of God and gaining favors with Him in the process, but why can't there be a story about someone who discovers something to believe in? That's because I haven't made this RP yet!

Plot: a high priestess of Lopre, God of the Sun, is not only that, but one of the most powerful people from her hometown. She lives a stressful life, having to read from their holy book, the Chronicle, for hours, as well as blessing people and being a spiritual adviser for many. Secretly, she doesn't actually believe in Lopre, and owns idols to the illegal god Taeshiu, something which would mean that she'd be banished from her hometown. On the day after New Years' Eve, this is discovered and she's forced to leave her hometown, and enter the dangerous wild beyond, bringing with her the illegal idol...

You are this high priestess, while I'm the world you'll be exploring and adventuring through!

Hello World!

I'm Thebastardbrasta, and quite a few other things. My favorite kind of RPs are fantasy, sci-fi and survival RPs, although I'm willing to be in virtually anything if it's "good enough", or if it requires a lot of book smarts. I've only been into RP for a year, and then only as a host, but I'm sure that I would be a respectable casual-level participant nonetheless. Anyway, enough about me, let's have some fun RPing!
