The Core

The Core is a new RP idea that has been lurking in my mind for quite some time so i decided to give it a shot.

Basic Story

The world of Archaica is a small, but dangerous place that is being ruled by the most evil kings ever lived. Robberies, murders, towns being destroyed - these are all things that happen on a daily basis and nobody is doing anything about it. This world needed someone to get rid of the horrible things that crawl around and that's where Lord Magdar, a powerful troll with the powers to shapeshift into a destructive two-headed hound, came in. Unable to live on the surface due to the bounty hunters that are after him, he decided to hide in an old chamber and he stayed there for many, many years. Once rumours started to spread around that he has died, he decided to once again come out to the surface, but this time he was searching for someone to join him in his mission to cleanse Archaica from the evil that was plaguing it. He traveled many years, he saw many horrible things and saw how everyone was falling under the command of Lord Seporath, Queen Andriel and other cruel and merciless rulers. Once he got a party of 4-5 creatures who agreed to help him get rid of the filth on this world, they went back to the chamber he had been hiding before and explored it entirely. They found out that it goes down very deep so they named it The Core. This was their new shelter... their new home. Many rumours spread about their cause and many more joined them to their mission, but it was never enough... and that's where you come in.

1. Officer Madorjomo (Lord Magdar's most trusted friend. Almost as awesome as him)
2. Lord Magdar
3. Exit Path
4. Training Grounds (starting Point)
5. Unexplored Part of The Core (Future Quest ;) )
6. Coreville (The town in which most Open-Play will be taking place, probably)
New Players should be shown around The Core by others when they start off. This RP won't contain as much players as other RPs since I want to keep it kinda closed only for decent people. Im hoping everyone is friendly.

Who Magdar is After

Lord Seporath

Lord Seporath is an old warlord hungry for power. To get where he is now, he has tricked many people into believing he is a good and caring personality by hiding his true form into a troll body. Once his father died, he became the new king of the kingdom known as Blackphatom. Before him the kingdom was a normal, happy and pure place, but his lust for power turned it into a training field for evil and bloodthirsty warriors. Many say that the sun never shines there, that only darkness can be seen... Now Seporath rules over more than half of Archaica and nobody even knows how to enter Blackphatom since it is surrounded by a forcefield. But even if someone knew, he won't be brave enough to enter.

Queen Andriel

Once known as High Priestess Andriel, she is the most powerful manipulator of magic and the most well known female to ever walk on the surface of this world. She grew up in a small and religious town near the ocean in a family of mages. Her hunger for torture, blood and murder kicked in when her family was murdered by the troll neighbours after being declared as a group of witches. She escaped from death, but suffered horrible damage and her body was disfigured. Not only did she lose her religious beliefs, but her mind became corrupted and all she wanted was revenge on the human race. She ran around, cursing trolls and turning them into horrifying creatures, brainwashed into serving her. Now she has built up an entire army and even teaches her own mages students to do the dirty job for her. Her location is unknown, but her presence is felt everywhere.

Gyth

Gyth is a giant, powerful Golem who can seem like his life mission is to destroy and kill, but once you know enough about him you start to think he is just a sad and confused creature who doesn't know what to do with his life. He used to be a nature element, but his anger and hatred burned the flowers and everything growing on him, replacing it with lava. He used to be an ordinary ogre living his life on a grassy field, alone, having fun with nature all day, but Queen Andriel saw the potential in his powers so she tried to empower him and brainwash him so he can work for her, but his will was too powerful. He became stronger than she imagined, but did not turn to her side. She was too scared to leave him like that, because she knew that he might be a problem in the future, so Andriel cursed him, making him blind for the rest of time. Now all he does is go around town to towns, destroying and killing everyone. His senses are what keep him alive and telling him where to go. Gyth is still a great threat to Andriel and even Lord Seporath. Seporath is trying to stay away from him as he doesn't want to have problems with one of the strongest creatures around. And Andriel - she is trying to hide from him, knowing that he is after her.

Races

The races you are going to be able to choose from are: Troll, Viper Dragon, Flamewalker and Tigerian.

The Trolls are what replaces humans in this world. Common, but refreshing to see. Inpatient and Magical.

Viper Dragons are the unique kind of dragons you can choose to be. They are mythican creatures, using poison to the best of their advantage - even to spice up food! Passive, but Deadly without weapons or spells.

Flamewalkers are what Magdar found living inside The Core when he and his first party ventured deeper down. They haven't seen the surface of this world for a very long time, but are willing to help Magdar. Patient and Skilled with Weapons.

Tigerians were once living in harmony until their homes were smashed down when everything started going to hell. They were forced to work with Trolls to survive but didn't quite get along. Now they are working with Magdar and worshiping him as a god, hoping that he will cleanse Archaica of all evil. Aggresive, but Spiritual.

"Gameplay"

With another account I had on DA I have played with a lot of RPs and have hosted some RPs. This was probably 1 year ago and I want to return with this RP style that has been scratching my brain, trying to get out. What I want to try and see if it will work is this:
Basicly, im going to be like the god of this RP - I will be playing Magdar and other NPC that you will hopefully meet on quests I send you. It will ofcourse be 80% open, because I can't stay here infront of my computer 24/7 and watch over you which also means that I will be choosing only people willing to play fair and not try to be cheating or anything like it. Normally when I send you on a quest it will reveal more plotlines about more characters, about the character you read in the description above, about the races or about Archaica itself.
It's going to be something like this - I give you a quest every 3 days and when I do I will be infront of the computer for about 2-3 hours non stop to see how you do and to ofcourse see when you are done so I can go back to sleep or whatevs. :) . My goal with this system is that I give you the Storyline and you just create the action scenes ;) . I might not be able to keep up with the open-play* non stop and follow along, but I will know who are the people willing to work with me and nothing really is going to be happening until I send you on a Quest. This doesn't mean that it will be complicated like a real RPG where you get gear, levels or anything like it because, after all, we are here to have fun d:D . But I might implement something like a ranking system or something saying what quests players have done and how many aswell.

Basicly in a few words - normal RP with quests I give you every 3-4 days and I follow along with you, unravelling new storylines and you learning more about the characters themselves.
*Open-play RP - RP with no quests and not many restrictions except for the No God rule.

Rules

1. ALL FORUM RULES APPLY HERE!
2. No God mode please... if you are an angry child, keep away.
3. You MUST have atleast some idea of the basic plot, but not all of the new things learned from quests.
4. Read the "Gameplay" above to get a basic idea of what the RP is like.. please.. this is important.
5. Only looking for people willing to play fair and listen to what I have to say as an Admin.

I have a question? (Yes, I'm interested! ;D) Can the tigerians switch between a 'human' and 'beast' form? Or are they always half? Either way, I hope someone picks this up! Interesting stuff you got here. ^^
