Of Knights and Men

I do love me some Dark Souls.

The bleakness of the setting would be upset a bit by the fact that there are others joining the fight, unless they are all equally damaged in some way.

An idea, this is the beginning of a new age of fire, and this is the story of how civilization grows again. The remaining unkindled clear the way for actually peace to reign again. That's their purpose, and when the world is safe for the peoples to thrive, they'll have no place in it, having lost their purpose.

@ShwiggityShwah

I agree with the bleakness(or eeemershun) being disrupted slightly with the group aspect. The 'group' aspect was added to make it slightly easier to have a decent group being feasible in Dark Souls. While you can Team up in Dark Souls, it's more of a play with your friends thing. The original concept for this was to have a small group (of no more than 5) and letting them decide their own path which directly influences the world. I.E, player 1 lights a bonfire, that bonfire is now open for all players or Player 3 blows up a bridge(which isn't possible but this is an example), depending on which side of the bridge he is on, either no one can now access the area or only he can. Would that be a better setting?

AS for that idea, I'm quite frankly in love with it. And let me pull my n00b card realllllllll quick....

_{Yes,indeed, it is called Lothric
Where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge.
In venturing north, pilgrims discover the truth of the old words.
The fire fades and the lords go without thrones.
When the link of fire is threatened, the bell tolls,
Unearthing the old Lords of Cinder from their graves:
Aldrich Saint of the Deep
Farron’s Undead Legion, The Abyss Watchers
and the reclusive lord of the profaned capital,
Yhorm The Giant
Only in truth the lords will abandon their thrones
and the Unkindled will rise
Nameless accursed undead,
Unfit even to be cinder.
And so it is,
That ash seeketh embers.}

And you, Unkindled arisen from derelict tombs heed the tolling of the Bell. No respite for even the Dead as our First Flame once again faces danger. You were...unworthy before. Practically unguided...without assistance...weak. Unworthy to ascend to Lords of Cinder. Scattered..without brethren. Who were to blame you? No one. Our Flame is in danger once more..and you are needed once more. Yet it will be different this time. Before, you faced incredible danger without help. Now, you will fight as one force, united under one banner; humanity. So what say you? Will you cower in the darkness, hoping it'll get better or will you be a part of the force that makes it better?

Welcome! I'm new to this whole GM and owning a thread thing so please bear with me if I do something{or multiple somethings} like a retard. But you're not here to listen to my GM skills, no, you want to know what this roleplay is about.
Well, if you couldn't guess, this is a Dark Souls roleplay, specifically set in Lothric, which is the setting of DS3. I've had the idea in my head but other roleplay got in the way and nervousness impeded the inception.The world is exactly like that of the game, save for my minor changes. In this universe, the Unkindled are banding together to form the faction Humanity. Yes, instead of your poor character braving the world alone, you'll be accompanied by friends!
Humanity is loosely organized and had no real caste system. Bands of Unkindled task themselves with missions to complete, and forming small companies to defeat bosses. You will be playing a newly arisen Unkindled, of which class will be decide by you. The system I'll be using will be the "Choose your own Adventure" type of deal, where I give you a scene, options{And custom options for your class and or certain equipment you may find}, and you will act on which you think is the best.
If this check gets enough interest then a full-fledged roleplay will be created, with all the bells and whistles. Feel free to ask questions either through PM or just in the thread. This is Justin, reminding you to stay awesome, Peace.

Hm.
We could be a dungeoneering duo!
providing the GM would allow such.

<Snipped quote by Valorous>

I just said it would be cause people might not get the reason for a priest in a sci fi setting.

In the military chaplains are a required service and consideration for any operation.

@ShwiggityShwah

To the untrained soldier, the cacophonies of the current would surely make them falter and (albeit impossible now) run. However, Garrett had seen skirmishes aplenty and thus was nearly unaffected, save for the loud..stick? Metal stick? The thick alabaster colored plume obscured his vision, making it hard to discern it's make. It seemed as if the ranger had run low on shots, leaping into the fray as he did.

Oh. Oh yeah! Great! Go! Go forth!

And like that, he was snapped back to reality. The male..or at least the assumed male that addressed him was odd, no doubt, but not immediately hostile. The knight tossed the hefty pack from his shoulders and drew his blade. He was (fairly) confident in his armour to atleast stop a single arrow, so he moved hastily towards the front, where an archer had posted. He figured eliminating the deadlier threat would make everyone's life just that much easier. Once he came within 3 meters of the archer, the beast noticed him from its periphery and loosed an arrow in his direction; a snap-shot that had missed but startled Garrett some. It knew nocking another would be suicidal and thus drew it's own blade. And so began the simplest of Serim Fighting styles; Dance.

All Serim fighting styles are broken down into dances, But Dance is the basic and fundamental style that every Serim knows, and learns in training. It's the progenitor to the other more advanced styles, and consist of only two part.

Crawl, Garrett hunched as much as his armour would allow, keeping his gaze fixed to his opponent. His pace slowed dramatically, to that of..well..a crawl, advancing closer. The beast kept slanted eyes afixed to odd gestures, the combatants beginning to circle one another. Garrett's blade raised somewhat high and kept perpendicular to his body; so the apex, the point, is always facing the beast.

Flourish, next came bold taunt from the knight, beating his chest with vigor. the beast was lured directly into the trap, which would be ended with a bloody finale.

Finale, and when the beast charged the Knight, planning to enact punishment with a broad horizontal slash, the edge met nought but air, as Garrett rolled forward, evading the blow and striking the soft belly. Before he'd even allow a possible counter, he brought the blade up, rending flesh and eviscerating the archer. The viscera fell slowly and was soon followed by the body.

End

Casting the blood from his blade, The Knight sought after the remaining foes. Maybe he'd go for a decapitation next time...
