Firebat DZ Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hey guys, im pretty new here but im very excited to RP with the community and I wanted to show that by sharing an idea for an upcoming story I plan to drive once I get the feel of stuffs in here :) This came up when I was posting my bio for an app on another thread and today little by little I have started to remember once again about a story I began a LONG LONG time ago (in a galaxy far far away :P) when I was like effing 16 years old! (I have 23 right now :D) I never could do anything with it and I thought that maybe putting it as an RP would be a good way to put it into use and share it with the world. Im not accepting apps at the moment but if you wish you can leave your app and when im ready to run the RP i'll start accepting them. So enough chat, what's the story about? Okay here's a brief overview of the story which I wrote in a PM to user Merciful Idiot. [spoiler=Brief description of the Plot] Okay so from what I remember, the setting had two dimensions. The shadow world (which belonged to the Witches) and Earth. In the Shadow World, witches formed groups which in time became clans and then were formally converted into Houses. The top three Houses in Shadow World were House Shadowcraft, House Plaguemind and House Splinterfright. Each of these Houses specialized in one specific product which made them the richest Houses in their realm. Shadowcraft specialized in the dark arts and the manipulation of demonic beings (which is the small bat like creature you see next to Luna and Minerva). House Plaguemind specialized in the poison arts and controlled an entire pharmaceutical like network in the Shadow world. Finally House Splinterfright specialized in the creation of Assassins which carried the dirty duties for the elite of the realm. The story begins when the head of House Shadowcraft and the father of both Luna and Minerva Shadowcraft (as well as father of two more sisters which I can't remember their names right now) dies to a mysterious toxin. The blame however was brought on outside forces that belonged to earth and the people of the shadow world began to suspect the earthlings were responsable and planning a take over of their realm. The reality was that House Plagueminds lords, Lexor and Victoria Plaguemind had manipulated the elite into thinking such thing when they were the real culprits. Luna is the only one that suspects Lexor and Victoria's hand on this thanks to a small discovery she made during the festivities where her father's death occured. However her older sister Minerva is hellbent on wrecking havoc on earth to sate her thirst for vengance towards her father's death. Luna then has two problems to deal with, her much more powerful sister, and the uncovering of the truth behind the Plaguemind's masterplan. As you can see it's a witchcraft story, with Houses similar to like a vampire story or something lol, im telling you I was very young when I wrote this but it had so much potential I never forgot about it. Basically in the RP you can belong to any of the three Houses or even an independent House outside of the three I mentioned if you have the creativity of making one of your own. As long as you respect that the top houses are the three I mentioned. You can also be an earthling, although being an earthling gives you no powers. This doesn't mean however that a witch can't cast a spell on you that gives you powers or something, just be warned that you start with no powers if you chose an earthling. [spoiler=Current Character and NPC bios] As for the current characters or NPCs that you will meet in the story, here are some of them: Luna Shadowcraft: This is the youngest daughter of four in the Shadowcraft royal family. Unlike her other sisters, Luna is a rebel that refuses to wear the tight and uncomfortable gowns her other sisters use. She prefers to use clothing that you would find on an rock/metal/punk music enthusiast. She frequently visits Earth as "Emily" to watch her favorite bands go at it in their concerts and visit friends. She, unlike the rest of the witches of Shadow World, knows that earthlings are actually good people with no intentions of taking over the witches' realm. She is also the only one in the realm that knows the truth behind the death of her father and is currently fighting to reveal it's true culprit while saving her friends from the wrath of her older sister, Minerva. Luna is accompanied at all times by her guardian, the demon Caesar. Caesar was given to her as a birthday present by the House's demonologist, Perseus Shadowcraft and the demon is actually the first of it's generation, with the unique perk of individuality. This gives Caesar his own "soul", thus giving him his own personality and rational thought, which happens to be that of a serious butler at Luna's service. Personality wise, Luna is a very talkative girl, full of energy and isn't afraid to speak her feelings. In the RP I will be taking the role of this character as my actual player character. Image: http://darthzin.devi...t.com/#/d1gzi8c Minerva Shadowcraft: The oldest daughter of the Shadowcraft royal family and currently the most powerful witch in the House. Minerva has eons of experience as a witch, with access to some of the darkest and most powerful magics House Shadowcraft has ever known. She, like Luna, is accompanied by a demonic being by the name of Cicero. Unlike Caesar, Cicero doesn't have the gift of individuality and is simply a minion under Minerva's command. However, Cicero has improved strength, speed and abilities that outclass Caesar and is considered the top model and creation of Perseus. Minerva's strength makes her arrogant and she constantly looks below at her other sisters, especially Luna, who she thinks is a lunatic for not following the House's customs and constantly visiting Earth. Minerva is currently enraged at the fact that Earthlings were responsable for her father's death, something that clearly is not true, and has started a crusade against the humans with the ends of exterminating them all. Only her youngest sister stands in her way and she feels confident that it won't be enough to stop her. Personality wise, Minerva is a strong, arrogant and vain woman, she however doesn't have true evil thoughts or intentions, although she created the crusade out of straight vengeance. Image: http://darthzin.devi...t.com/#/d1m41e4 Lexor Plaguemind: Lexor is the house lord of Plaguemind. He and his wife Victoria oversee all the operations from Plaguemind Corp., a pharmaceutical company made by the House to sell it's toxins, potions and other concoctions. Arguably the most powerful House finacially, the only thing House Plaguemind needed to be considered the top power of the Shadow World was for it to show that it was more powerful than House Shadowcraft which in terms of pure power it was the current leader. Lexor accomplished this task by assassinating the House lord of Shadowcraft, Romulus Shadowcraft through a series of new toxins developed by his brightest engineer, Viktor Plaguemind. With the head of House Shadowcraft gone, House Plaguemind was both the richest and most powerful House in the realm. But to hide from the blame of their own people, Lexor used the Humans of earth as the scapegoat and took a backseat on what would be the incoming armageddon of the human race. Lexor is a man full of hatred, loathing and pure evil. He loves the craft of Voodoo and is rumored that he owns a collection of Voodoo dolls that spans every single living being in the Shadow World and beyond. Image: http://darthzin.devi...t.com/#/d1m41ne Victoria Plaguemind: Victoria is lord of House Plaguemind and Lexor's wife. Unlike her calm husband, Victoria is a bit of a psycopath and will constantly go into sudden mad seizures that make her commit the most horrible acts of violence, torture or any sort of action that would bring her twisted pleasure. Like Lexor, she loves Voodoo dolls and loves making her victims suffer the most outrageous pain possible, it is said that she would rip extremities from the dolls from time to time which would cause irreparable damage and pain to the victim, making them suffer for eternity. Victoria however is mostly shadowed by her husband, since he takes a strong authority on the relationship and would in many cases oversee operations on the house alone, leaving her wife to her twisted pleasures and mad seizures. The two however have mastered working as a team and will never go into a fight alone. With some of the strongest poisons, potions and other concoctions in the shadow world on their disposal, facing this dammed matrimony of evil is an uphill battle for any witch no matter the house where they come from. Romulus Shadowcraft: The now deceased House Lord of Shadowcraft was once one of the greatest warlocks to walk the face of the Shadow world. Taking the position of House Lord early in his life, Romulus went through many hardships and conflicts with the other houses to put Shadowcraft in the position it was before his death. Throughout these times he had four daughters who he taught everything he knew about the world they lived in, sorcery and beyond. His favorite among them was Luna, who ironically he adored for the fact that she didn't want to be like the rest of her sisters. He loved Luna, but before he could ever teach her what he had taught to the rest, his death came swiftly and Minerva as oldest of the four was put in charge of the House. He did one last action before dying though, he passed his knowledge through a mystical scroll at Caesar, Luna's guardian. Through the scroll Caesar learned all the arts that the legendary warlock knew which in turn made him the stronger, but the inability to properly comunicate it through to Luna meant the secrets of the Warlock would forever stay hidden in the guardian. Catarina & Eliza Shadowcraft: The two remaining sisters of Luna are nothing more than party goers in the Shadowcraft house. They dedicate to organizing lavish events for the House elite and they make sure to not miss a single one! With such activities, their magic powers have decreased to the point that they have forgotten almost everything their father has taught them. Only Minerva remains with such knowledge and her stubborness towards her youngest sister plus the fact that Caesar can't pass them through to Luna, means the youngest of the Shadowcraft is locked from the powers of her lost father for the time being. Even then, Catarina and Eliza are very friendly with their youngest sister and would help her in anything she needs, as long as they are able to do the task at hand. Perseus Shadowcraft: The Royal Demonologist of House Shadowcraft is one of the brightest minds in his field of science. Demonologists travel to the farthest reaches of the Shadow World to research the most powerful demons, capture them and then perform experiments to convert them into powerful guardians that are used by the elite of Shadow World. Caesar was Perseus first catch, he kept it in his laboratory for the longest time till one day Luna visited his Laboratory without his knowledge. Luna and Caesar met, and the two made great synergy by bearly seeing each other. Seeing this for himself, Perseus decided to gift the youngest of the royal family with his long time capture as her personal guardian. Perseus also presented Minerva with his latest capture, Cicero, one of the strongest demons in the Shadow World as her guardian. Perseus continues to do his research in Demonology even after the sudden death of his long time lord and friend, Romulus. He has a good friendship with Luna and is always at her disposal. Viktor Plaguemind: The famous chemical engineer Viktor, is known for his extensive work in the field of poisons for the Plaguemind house. He oversees the Research and Development team (R&D) for Plaguemind Corp. constantly churning out new concoctions to be used by the best witches in Plaguemind. He is also responsible for the toxin that took out the powerful Romulus Shadowcraft, this toxin is now being researched for a way to find a version fit for mass production. The engineer has lost a bit of his mind throughout the years working in his field of study, always thinking of a more lethal poison than the last, one that kills faster or tortures you more time than the last. He is known to stay hours upon hours coming up with new formulas. Something Lexor is more than pleased to know and highly respects. Viktor's ultimate research goal however is finding the ultimate mind control poison, a concoction that breaks the will and soul and places it on Viktor's command. The true intentions of this poison might stretch a bit farther than just making House Plaguemind the undisputed ruler house of Shadow World.... Alexander Splinterfright: Alexander is the current House Lord of Splinterfright. A House of witch assassins who have served the elite of Shadow world in countless situations. As the master assassin, it is his duty to oversee all assassinations done in the realm and make sure they are as clean as possible. One assassination however missed his eye, this was the one of Romulus Shadowcraft which wasn't done by any of the Splinterfright Assassins. Alexander has his suspicions but lack of evidence can't pinpoint exactly who was the culprit except for the fact that Plaguemind poison was used for the Assassination. Only Luna knows the true answer but to have an audience with the Splinterfright house lord is something out of her grasp at the moment, she would have to prove herself to her realm to earn the respect of the other houses and thus earn the right to have an audition with the master assassin. Alexander is a cold hearted man, but not of the evil type, he sees Assassination as strictly business. A business that has escalated the Splinterfright house in power enough to be considered among the three powerhouses in Shadow World. **************************************************************************************************************************************************** [spoiler=Setting]The Setting: This RP takes place in two dimensions: Earth and Shadow World home of Witchcraft and Sorcery. (im still looking for a better name for this realm than Shadow World but that's what this thread is for right?) Your character can be a witch or an earthling; if you wish to be a witch it is strongly recommended that you choose one of the three main houses, although if you have enough creativity you can create a character that comes from a house made by yourself. (just make sure that he is not the House lord as that would make your character too powerful from the beginning.) Earthlings like us have limited powers, but an Earthling can be enchanted by a witch to have powers of his/her own. If you choose an earthling, know that you start with no powers but can be enchanted later on in the story and gain them. Witches look alot like humans except for their Pseudo Immortality, unlike elves, Witches take a long long time to age with some witches looking 10 to 12 years old for almost 500 years, an old looking witch could easily have 10,000 years under his/her belt. Most of their years are passed looking in their mid 20s and 30s (in comparison to a human). A brief desciption of the Three Main houses and what should you expect from them: House Shadowcraft: The Shadowcraft House is home to the dark arts of witchcraft and the science of Demonology. Encantations like curses, lightning spells, bloodcraft, seals, necromancy and other dark magics are studied and learned here. The elite of House Shadowcraft are often seen with personal demonic guardians which they obtain through Demonologists. Members of the Shadowcraft house are often filled with pride for belonging to the most powerful house in the Shadow World. Currently many house members are appalled and shocked at the sudden murder of their long time leader. Most are filled with an ire for vengeance. House Plaguemind: The Plaguemind house specializes in witchcraft of the mind and the science of poisons. Taboo witchcraft arts like Voodoo are practiced here as well as Potion Alchemy and spells that affect the mind in a positive or negative way. Most members of House Plaguemind are mad, evil or have twisted intentions. They have been forever jealous of the power the Shadowcraft house has been given for many years and with the recent events they are starting to get a feeling of pride in their own House. House Splinterfright: The Splinterfright house is a house of Witch assassins who practice the arts of steath, illusion and otherworldy transportation. Most of their spells are based on invisibility, blindness, shadow movement, illusionary duplication and untrackable spells and projectiles. They identify themselves by wearing black coats and hoods over their heads with a ghostly wooden splinter embroided on top. They are also known for having the ability to conjure magical assassination weapons from their arms and hands like small daggers and throwing knives made of mana. Splinterfright assassins do their work very silently and are rarely seen in the scene of the action. They have honed this tradition for millenia, for Splinterfrights, Murder is simply Business, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
