Another Fantasy RP

It would be casual-advanced

Another Fantasy RP

So when I first got on this site I had a couple ideas for roleplays to begin. Most have been along the lines of a post apocalyptic setting or a fantasy setting. My first post apocalyptic setting, a zombie style RP, is up but I figured I should test the waters to see if my fantasy setting would have any interest.



The setting is a world I've been working with for a while and will give opportunity for wide variation in setting, characters and plotlines alike. It's a generic high fantasy setting where magic is common. It's full of ravenous monsters and stark castles; but each country is radically different from culture to people. Each country/race has it's unique perks and faults. Despite being fantastical, it will remain a dark, brooding world of corruption, far more akin to The Witcher or Game of Thrones than Skyrim or The Hobbit. It'll basically be a sandbox RP grounded with the rules and lore of this world. Would anybody be interested? If more information is needed comment below

Olympus Academy

Name: Lucas Russo
Age: 17
Parent: Apollo
Abilities: Lucas is a precocious young man, excelling in academics and arts alike. As for godly abilities, his main powers lie in his prowess with a bow and, pertaining from his father being a god of truth, he's very analytical and can notice minor giveaways when somebody's lying.
Personality: Lucas is smart as a whip and beyond creative, often with ideas for writing, poetry and art spilling out of his head. He's confident yet humble, charismatic and makes friend quite easily. When getting in fights, he can indeed handle himself but can usually use his linguistic skills to escape any problematic situation.
Short Bio: Lucas is the son of Apollo and his Italian mother, born and raised in Newark. His work in school and his artistic abilities were noticed at a young age, as he won various poetry competitions at a young age and finished his first novel at age 15. While a relatively normal teen, he never thought much about his abilities. In fact, it wasn't until he was sixteen when Hermes himself recruited him for the school due to his gifts. Since then, he's been living on campus, practising new hobbies and honing his skills.
Extra: N/A

Zombie Apocalypse

@Burning Kitty They're fast zombies, but they're simply diseased humans, not the undead

Anyways I made a roleplay for the idea! If you're interested go check it out

Sixty Days Dead

“I remember the day… the day the world went south. My name is… well names don’t mean much these days to they? The idea of humanity that’d been built up since the dawn of civilization crumbled within a day. Now there’s a new world, and with it, a new world order. This is a world of the rogues. The virals. The infected. This planet belongs to them… and we’re not welcome guests. It happened so fast… it was only a matter of weeks and then… the world fell.”

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



The Apex Virus as it had been dubbed before the fall of the CDC is a ravenous, infectious disease originating from a mutated strain of rabies in the jungles of Senegal. The virus infects a person through any contact of fluids. Saliva. Blood. Etcetera. The disease has an incubation period of a mere hour, an hour of increasingly sporadic behaviour and aggression. Within the first few minutes of infection, reddening and irritation around the throat and eyes becomes apparent. Violent fever and vomiting soon follows, as the host becomes more aggressive. Brain capacity slips as the victim begins twitching, and becomes unresponsive. The final stage comes in the form of violent seizures, until the man taken over is completely infected. The infected stage, a stage that goes by many names depending on who you ask, becomes a feral, aggressive creature with violent tendencies to hunt, kill and eat. The brainless creatures are fast, agile and strong, their brains fixed with a sole instinct; hunt. The infected reject infected flesh, which is why they seldom turn on each other and often hunt in packs or hordes. Animal flesh is eaten just as much as human and they seem to have no preference. While still human, and capable of dying any way a human can, they seem to have no nerve connection, allowing them to have endurance, durability and pain toleration far stronger than the average man or woman. They make bloodcurdling howls, chirps and almost bird like noises, that help give them away if not for their quick, twitchy behaviour, glazed eyes with minimal pupils or dark, clear veins. These new predatory beasts attack in a flurry of fists, teeth and nails, and have excellent eyesight and hearing. Before the collapse a vaccine hadn’t even begun… and with the world in shambles, it seems like only a fantasy now.



The infection centered around Senegal and took a total of three weeks between it’s acknowledgement and the collapse of humanity. Nobody really knows how long the disease had existed, but the first few attacks in happened in Africa and were ruled off as murders. Vectors had spread at an early date, and unexplained disappearances, murders and strange sightings had sprung up from Indonesia to Romania and even Mexico. By the time the disease was discovered, it was far too late. Africa was too far gone as infected had swarmed the sprawling continent, quickly adding their small population to the infected numbers. Cape Town had an incredible battle holding out until eventually the hordes from neighbouring Nigeria and Botswana overtook them. The UN planned to send out a series of nuclear strikes to abolish, or at least minimize the virus, despite the apprehension of many scientists. With all the focus on foreign affairs, China was caught off guard and fell in a matter of days. New Zealand closed its ports, but as the vectors got through, they became trapped. Nepal was in a secure location, but the numerous refugees from India and China alike caused the virus to find it’s way into the sanctuary. With nowhere to run and an offensive attitude being too late, the remaining countries took up Defensive positions. Few succeeded.



Life in post outbreak is a grueling one to say the least. Virals outnumber humans roughly 4000 to 1. Running water, electricity; with the exception of a handful of areas, these luxuries became a thing of the past. The new world order began, where people focused slowly on survival. People lost their humanity. Those who were good died off. Those who were willing to do what was needed survived. Raiders and scavengers became just as dangerous as the infected; though far less numerous. Certain areas were far worse off than others. East Asia became a wasteland. America’s East Coast became a giant swarm. Australia was infested. But there were those that prospered. Ireland was in reasonable health. Chile’s residents evacuated to the Andes were several encampments made a stable population. Citizens banded together in America and Europe to create small scale safe zones, from Riverview in southern British Columbia to The Resevoir in Nevada. Several large cities continued to run, notably Perth, Istanbul, Sao Paulo and Honalulu. Those who survived however weren’t the same as the economy had collapsed; they became more primitive, dealing in local currencies and often with corrupt governments. This life isn’t an easy one… do you have what it takes to survive?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

10 Rules
1. Don’t forget the setting. This takes place in modern times two months after the fall of civilization. The location is primarily along North America’s western coast. This grants a lot of freedom with setting, from California to Alaska.
2. Not zombies. The infected aren’t zombies. Though the concept of zombies does exist in this in this world, they’re renowned as fictional. Due to graphic reality of circumstance, most people don’t use such a childish term for a real threat.
3. More advanced than casual. While this is a casual roleplay as it’s my first one and I have no experience on this site, I expect well written posts with decent grammar and spelling.
4. No time skips. If one person skips a day, everyone has to jump their story to that time. It’s incredibly annoying.
5. Uncensored. This is the end of days, and in real life you wouldn’t have people running around censoring every ‘shit’ or ‘fuck’ that comes out of their mouth. Be realistic. Feral humans are running around slaughtering and eating everything in sight. Gore is more than ok. This is a gory and vulgar world. That being said, intimate details involving sex are never crucial to a story’s development. Be brief, or skip to the aftermath.
6. No godmodding. A crucial one. Everybody wants to be that mysterious sword wielding badass that can charge into a horde and come out unscathed. We’re not Michonne. People can have unique skills or be good at fighting infected, whatever. But your character isn’t immortal and realism is key.
7. Remain reasonably active. Anyone who’s character doesn’t post at least once a week is fair game to be killed off.
8. Respect. Don’t skip over other people’s stories and no killing other characters without their permission. As GM, I’ll abide to this rule as well. That being said, people shouldn’t be afraid to kill off their characters. You can always make a new one and an apocalypse without death becomes monotonous.
9. Character. Explore your character well. Fill out the CS with detail, and keep them realistic and within reason. Every skill they possess has a reason and they have a good backstory. There are many jobs that become useful, whether on the run or during attempts to rebuild civilizations. Soldiers, medical professionals, farmers, athletes; they all have their virtues. Variety is the spice of life. As stated before, give a rich backstory that shouldn’t be applicable to everybody you see. Try to diversify skills. Not everyone’s gonna be an expert marksman or a natural doctor.
10. Lastly, this is essentially an open sandbox RP. You have complete freedom with your story and story's will often overlap, but there's no common goal or mission everyone shares nor is there a concrete plot characters must follow.

Zombie Apocalypse

I've been playing around with ideas for a zombie novella idea for a while and since I've done nothing with it , I figured I'd make it into a roleplay. I have tried to give everything more depth and I'll give the introduction if I begin the legitimate roleplay, but for the most part there's nothing too unique. It's a viral pandemic that swept the earth, turning all it infected into mindless aggressive creatures, losing all shreds of humanity. The zombies in this scenario go by many names. Rogues, virals and infected just to name a few. They're fast and bloodthirsty creatures, but are no more than humans infected with a virus. Despite being a bit more durable and lacking all nerve receptors, they can be killed by dismemberment, burning, drowning; anyway humans can be killed.

Anyways would anyone be interested in this?
