I recently had a new plot idea come to mind. I haven't done it before and I'm looking for a creative someone to assist!
I'm looking for a male who is 18 or older (because I'm F*cking old and I don't RP with kids!).
I'm looking for someone who is 'high-casual' to advance +. Someone who can contribute to the plot and not force me to lead the entire thing...
This plot is open ended in the end, as it's kind of a 'let's see how we create the story as we go' type after the opening pieces. Here's a few things to know prior to reading the plot:
1 ) You char can be designed to how you like. How he acts/looks will be decided by what type of people/creatures found him. However, if you go with human, keep in mind he is still not 'human', he will only look it. This goes for any race. He will take their look, but he will not be one at heart. He is still a Gem Born. 2 ) The world is very open, so we can create places and things as we want. Just consider it kind of fantasy medieval-ish. 3 ) There is meant to be a lot of fighting, either via our characters or around our chars. 4 ) The concept is a bit dark, but not at all times.
Anyways, here's the plot...
War was inevitable. Those who sought power never stopped their pursuit in achieving greatness through any means. In this world, of many powerful beings, there were only two true powers that could turn the tide of war. The first had been around for as long as people could remember—the Gem Born. Every thousand years, a large gem would fall from the sky and crash into the Earth. Within, a powerful male grows, forming through the absorption of the life of those around them. Once born, the desires of those it absorbed becomes its own, making it a weapon that can turn the tide of war in an instance.
Though war could be won, it was a win that never lasted for more than a hundred years or so. Those born from the Gem would fade from existence when all those whose life the absorbed to be born died. Upon their disappearance, war would start again…
Due to the inconsistency of when the Gem would fall and when the Gem Born would die, many sought a new means of power. This second power would be found by chance. As two children ran for the lives from a group of goblins, they are saved by a lone woman who easily dispatched the attacking creatures. Unbeknownst to her, the children’s parents had arrived just in time to witness her power and soon the rumor of the woman passed from mouth to mouth until it felt as if the world was looking for her.
The next few hundred years were spent in hiding, as a captive, forced to fight, and finding freedom. It was a cycle she faced day in and day out. Unlike the Gem Born, she did not seem to die simply by time passing or the death of those around her.
During a time of freedom from those who sought her power, she would witness the falling of the new Gem Born. First on the scene, she planned to take the gem to safety, but sensing others arriving, she is forced to flee, wishing the creature luck in the battles he will face.
Years later, the wars are raging as they always have, with the Gem Born active on the front line to those who found him. While running through a campground of the enemy, he follows a runner into a nearby cave where he manages to kill his target. As he prepares to leave, he senses someone else in the cave nearby, and attacks without question, only to be attacked in turned. The end result is him pinned on his back, and both their weapons at one another to cause a stalemate.
The Gem Born immediately feels a sense of recognition as he stares up at the woman over him. Due to her having been the first to find him before his birth, her life force was the first absorbed, tying his life to hers. Hearing his group coming, she takes off without a word. Once reunited with his group, he informs them of the woman and finally learns about the other legendary power that exists in the world.
Knowing that the combined power of the woman and the Gem Born will seal their eternal victory in the war, they send the Gem Born out to find her, unaware of his life tie that connects him to the her.
