Roleplay

It is well known that humans were created by the spirit of the Sun and the day, alongside everything that dwells among them. For hundreds of years the world has been mostly at peace, save a few petty wars between humans; the trees and forests thrive, and the cities grow every day. But for anyone living outside the cities, the nights tell a different story.

It is said that the spirit of the night, brother to the spirit of the Sun, became jealous of the world, and began to create their own, darker, creatures. Monsters larger than cities, dragons and leviathans, and smaller things too - it is said that the spirit could take the dead bodies of humans and make them walk, in a murderous frenzy from dusk til dawn. Ghosts, phantoms and spirits plagued the land, and the larger monsters too: waging war on the humans until entire cities lay in ruins, until the daylight rendered them safe once again.

So began the Age of Chaos, the spirit of the night waging an endless war, night after night, until the humans were driven back and almost defeated. The Spirit reveled in their victory, naming themself the King of the lands, ruling both humans and monsters in a reign of chaos.

It is said that the spirit of the sun saw the destruction, and felt anger towards his brother. He returned, creating his own monsters, creatures to protect the day rather than wage war on it: Griffins and hydras, spirits of the day. They drove back the spirit of night, and the monsters he created, pushing them back into the forests and wild places.

Furious, the Spirit challenged his brother, the duel lasting for days, the destruction in their wake tearing the veil between worlds. Finally defeated, the Spirit of Night was locked into the hell dimension, for what the brothers thought to be the rest of eternity.

Without their deity, the monsters shrank back into the forests, remaining only as a scattered reminder of the chaos that had once ruled the land. But recently, whispers of great creatures that could shadow a city once again returned to the humans. Perhaps the Age of Chaos had not been the last they would see of the Spirit of the Night...



It's kinda bad, but I really want to rp this. Anyone can join, as any human/creature (provided it's not anything Of The Night(tm) because story reasons).

Your character can have any background you want, and magic does exist so they can have that too. Just comment if you want to join and we can go ahead ^.^ I'll post to set the scene of the start of the rp (it'll be in a tavern so all or most of the characters would have a reason to be in the same place)



yes this is inspired by minecraft don't judge me

• Please don't Godmode (take over someone else's characters. This includes important NPCs, but not unimportant NPCs. You can bring in your own NPCs if you want!)
• Here's the OOC Thread
• Anyone can join!! Your character can be anything, mythical, normal or your own invention.
• Before anything permanent happens to any characters, we'll discuss it (and say yes/no to the idea), it won't be sprung on anyone.
• Please don't make it sexually mature, if you're dying to put two characters together like that please go into PM when it gets that far
• If you need gore tagged, say before you join and we'll add warnings to the top of posts that include it. This extends to anything else you need tagged.

Ooo, joining!

@WaywardWendigo hi!! ^.^ I'm going to post the starting scene in a little bit, do you want to make your character before or just jump straight in and develop them as we go?

@DuskAwakening

@WaywardWendigo don't worry about pinging me, I'm subscribed to the thread so I'll get all the notifications ^.^ Here's a rough character sheet if you want to use it, but you don't have to and none of the info is necessary (although a name would be useful XD)

@AbyssRanger O.o your character is amazing

Thanks! lol
And roleplaying isn't a contest lol. So, you don't have to feel like you have to best my character sheet lol. I just really like writing, so I end up writing a lot, usually lol.

Rain hammered on the windows of the tavern, water pouring down the glass and blurring any view of the street outside. A warm, crackling fire lit up the room, the floor stone under a layer of straw. The tavern was split into two connected areas; one suited for humans, the other arranged for accessibility to larger creatures. In the latter there were few chairs, save a couple of oddly-shaped ones, specially made for a certain unidentifiable species. Large beams allowed bird-like species to perch comfortably, and the doors were large and able to swing open at a push.

The human side looked like any normal tavern, tables and chairs scattered around, with a few stools at the bar, which stretched between both halves of the inn. There was no divide between the halves, allowing easy conversation between them. It was a cosy place, although the brawl scars on the wood of the tables and chairs told a different story.

The bartender stood behind the bar, steadily washing a beer glass with a cloth that could have been a little cleaner for the task. Several patrons were sitting around, talking quietly; even this early in the evening this place could fill up quickly.

The tavern was becoming a hub of information recently, as though it ever hadn't been. Adventurers often stopped by here, leaving the bar tender with plenty of stories to tell - for the right price. More recently, their themes had been a little fantastical. He had begun to wonder what kind of strange drinks these adventurers drank out on the road, to make them tell such tall tales.
