(Fuck)THE STATE OF ELYSIUM(Fuck)
A game by yours truly~
Within the continental country of Denegrad lay the state of wonder, mystery, and treachery. A place of both beguilement and enlightenment. A place of light and darkness. The state is Elysium, where humans live in conjunction with their demonic counterparts and strangely transmogrified humans. This state is known throughout Denegrad as a trading outpost. The biggest one on the entire continent, and as such, the source of most mysteries solved and conundrums created. Culture is rich within this merchant state, and grows with every passing caravan. There is not a place within Elysium one could go without feeling as if you were just in the town not but an hour ago.
However, strange things have been happening.
Vendors suddenly disappear from the trade routes they've been going along for years. The animals are restless and attack without warning, the bears being the biggest problem, since dragons have all but migrated out of the state. And the biggest problem:
Each newborn human since the problems began, has had what is called a "Remnant" located within their body when they're born.
The "Remnants" grants these humans with strength and intelligence beyond their ancestors, and not only that, the ability to perform the arcane arts. The pieces are called "remnants" because the artifacts seem to be pieces, not an entire thing. For instance, one human was reported to have a pupil as a remnant, but not the whole eye.
However, within this medieval fantastical land, a few select humans have been born with an entire "Remnant" on their body. These humans are called the Forsaken. They are shunned away from society much more from their pieced counterparts because the remnant is completely visible instead of being somewhat unnoticeable. One child was born with an entire arm as a remnant, another was born with a remnant that was her entire left leg. Keep in mind, the limbs are still functional, just made of a very pearlescent colored metal-like substance.
Could the remnants be the cause of the unrest within Elysium? Or could the remnants simply be pieces to a whole grand spectrum of problems? The governor of Elysium has been absent from his office for months since the problems, where is he and why has he not shown himself?
And the big question:
Where did the "remnants" come from?
SETTING:
A pit fighting arena where enslaved remnant-adorned humans battle to the death for their masters' earnings. The arena is a bowl of red, dusty sand. Bones scatter the area, long dead fighters no longer under the service of their masters. A cage is over top the pit, closing off any type of escape by the Forsaken, since the cage is inlaid with shield runes. The stands are filled with notorious criminals and even aristocrats, betting on who will win.
THE RACES:
Humans: You know this. Only Humans are born with remnants and only humans have remnants.
Demonise: Demonic counterparts of the humans. Said to be half-demon, half-human. The Demonise are not born with remnants. Use your imagination on these characters, since they're half-demon. However, there will be no wings. The Demonise can also be said to be anthropomorphic, since a wolf demon may have raped a human woman to create a wolf-demon child. Like I said, use your imagination. The Demonise excel at the arcane arts and depending on their heritage, may have a heightened sense of comprehension or amazing vigor.
