Thread: The Rift .. A Dark Fantasy

General rules 1 Before you begin please post your character at the beginning of the open role play threads at the top where it says Important threads and in the thread titled CHARACTER PROFILES .. this is a mandatory rule by the great forum gods themselves and each character must have it's own profile. 2 In your first post you MUST link your character profile that you created in rule 1 to your first post so the moderator can go back and quickly verify that you do indeed have one. 3 This will be taking place in approximate year of 600ACE, it be like the British Isles in scenery and climate. So you may want something warm for your character to wear, especially since you're all going to be squatting in an abandoned castle. The normal garb in that year was mostly chain metal and leather and animal firs. As full armor was not invented for hundreds of years after that date. 4 No God modding One thing that i'm going to ask of each member is to really think about your character .. When you list its attributes, it's skills be it weapon, magic or other, as well as personality. What you bring into the story via your characters profile that is what you stuck with.. If your character uses magic make sure you list that on the character profile. Don't say your character uses a sword and when things don't go smoothly you suddenly pull magic out. The same with weapons.. dont say your character has two swords and a dagger strapped to hisher leg and suddenly have them taken away from them only to have you turn around and say you have sleeve blades and pull a blade from your sleeve. What you come into a fight with is what you have to use. Not to say that at some point in the story you cant purchase a new weapon from a shop and now have it in your arsenal. The same with magic.. you cant say you have water magic then suddenly have it be fire magic. If you want to learn a new spell fine.. but you have to take the time to post in your thread that your learning a new spell, working on a new spell, purchasing a new spell, or item with magical abilities. The same goes for attributes. Not saying you cant acquire them but they have to be done in the course of the role play. I'm still new to this.. so i hope that i'm explaining myself so i can be understood. So again as i said earlier, when making your character think about what you will be bringing with him and into the role play. ....................................................................................... THE BEGINNING God created the Heavens but they were empty. In order to populate them God sacrificed himself and from him were born Angels. Angels saw the beauty of Heaven and wished to create their own version, with God's blessing the World was made. The World was empty as well but the Angels could not populate it as God had done. The Angels pleaded with God so that a way could be found, God relented and entered into the Angels and from this union Man was born. The Angels rejoiced as now their World wasn't empty, they had become more like their creator. In Man they saw the form of their creator, for it was with His quickening that Man had been made, and choose to lie with Man. From this union came Woman but not all was right as the seed of man is not as strong as that of God's. Some angels died in the act of birthing, giving rise to monstrous creatures. Others lived but their offspring died and they became bitter. The Angels became divided in Heaven over the fate of Man and Woman for the destruction they had inadvertently brought upon them. God watched, and did not judge in either favor. Thank you NihilisticImpact for it was him who created this back ground for our story ....................................................................................... The year 600ACE Breasail, an ancient land shrouded in mist, comprised of vast plains that rise and fall in gentle sweeping hills, dense woods and bogs dot the landscape while upon the western shore are steep crags which over look a vast ocean. The North and Eastern shore are dotted with numerous small coves while the southern coastline is dominated by a natural harbor created by a peninsula that reaches out and turns back in, forming a natural defense against the rages of deep waters. Here on the Southern point is home to the city Cambriae, founded several centuries ago by the Royalist Pendragon who by might of his sword and cunning of his words was able to forge the scattered fiefs of the land into one united whole. But times change and old wounds fester and though Pendragon's heir was able to hold the throne the third generation faltered. Numerous fortifications in numerous states blight the land with their cold stone presence as war rages only Cambriae is at peace and prosperous though.
