  Okay so here's the situation. I've got the monsters limited to a total of 4 available and I've claimed one of them. All other creatures will be NPC's run by either myself or the other monster players. If you want to be a monster player YOU MUST BE DEDICATED. If you leave part way through My character will kill yours and I will recruit a new monster. That being said, If you are a monster player, think big. You are a creature beyond the imagination of the petty mortal races we will be fighting. They will fall before you as though nothing if their attacks are simple and weak. You have my permission to crush them into a lifeless heap.
  
  
  Monster Hunters, if your character dies, Honestly, you either picked a fight with one of the Four Great Beasts (Player Character Monsters) really early on (and that makes you the dumb dumb of the day) or your playing the game poorly and deserved to die. I will be relentless and vicious with my attacks. I will also say this, My character is incredibly powerful. It will take an organized front to kill him.
  
  
  The Goal of the play is to neutralize the Four Great Beasts and send the rest of the monster horde back to where they came from. Hunters, You are the Saviors of Mankind. If you don't save them, no one will, there is no one left to do it. You are the final line of defense.

  I have chosen to not have a defined combat system. I dislike the limitations of dice rolls and stats, It offers no creativity for the players and will not allow any of the writers within the play to shine out in any defined way. It would be appropriate in other plays, but not this one. For now, I shall moderate combat moments and nudge you guys in the right directions. The monster player that is controlling specific creatures will be more in control of the fight as they will be controlling multiple creatures that are very very powerful. The Hunters are all at about the level of a level 10 monster. Normal humans are below that of a level 20 monster. So as hunters, you will be obviously stronger then most monsters, but after level 10, monsters begin to get excessively stronger.

  Monster Classes and Creature Types
  
  
  Monsters are separated into a number of categories based on size and power.
  
  
  They are separated between levels and classes.
  
  
  The levels are numbered from 1 to 20 the lower the number the higher the power level
  
  
  Most creatures on the field of battle are between the power levels of 20 and 8, all creatures above these levels, at 7 to 1 are high commanders and tend to not worry about the facets of the war itself. Between levels 20 and 8 power levels vary in slight amounts, after the point of level 7 however, the leaps of power are staggering.
  
  
  The classes are as follows
  
  
  Humanoid
  
  
  Anything that is remotely close to resembling a human, be it a beast that looks like a devil or a werewolf or anything within these standards. They are generally the foot soldiers and have a higher intelligence level then most.
  
  
  Malignant
  
  
  Malignant's are small flying beasts that spread toxins and fear throughout the ranks of men and their other enemies, they are generally very weak.
  
  
  Mutation
  
  
  Mutations are combinations of more then one creature type and are very rare. They are generally very intelligent and chaotic.
  
  
  Abomination
  
  
  Abominations are an amalgamation of flesh that has been possessed by hatred and gained it's own sentience. They tend to ravage entire battlefields by themselves as even once killed they are able to reform themselves rapidly.
  
  
  Hulk
  
  
  Large slow creatures with low intelligence levels and rapid regeneration. They tend to be placed into command positions and are very powerful.
  
  
  Wyrm
  
  
  A form of serpent, ranging from a burrowing beast to all levels of snake
  
  
  Drakonid
  
  
  Any form of dragon.
  
  
  Behemoth
  
  
  Massive Elemental type creatures that are not bound to the elemental planes themselves. They are spell force based and very powerful though lack any defined intelligence and tend to just follow orders.
  
  
  Titan
  
  
  Being's of immense size and power, they are humanoid in shape and form for the most part and tend to serve a master while fulfilling their own goals. They are immensely powerful in magical arts.
  
  
  Collosus
  
  
  Devastating beasts of primal natures, they are beyond a shadow of a doubt the most feared creatures in the entire existence of Monsters. They harness the powers of magic and their own overpowering strength to do battle, they are the supreme leaders of the monster hordes but most of the time, lack intelligence. There are very few in existence that are wise enough to maintain their own minds.
  
  
  Elemental
  
  
  Any monster within the elemental classification, from the sprite level all the way to the Elemental Magisters, they are able to control their respective elements and while they seem very primal they hold an overbearing intelligence. However, once summoned, they are required to carry out the orders of a summoner. They are summon-able at varying degrees of cost.

• I will allow anything from firearms to energy weapons, however I will be making these weapons relatively weak compared to bladed weapons. All weapons can be magically enhanced and Spell Cannons are allowed as well as spell blades. If you can come up with a concept of a weapon, you can probably use it so long as you can describe in detail how it functions. Feel free to harvest weapons from wherever, use RWBY weapon concepts, or even weapon concepts from video games and the like. I don't mind.
  
  
  Equipment is anything you can think of, all electrical requirements must be met by spellforce however as I am not allowing electricity in the current age to be part of the play (Electrical attacks are fine, but there are no lightbulbs or computers or the like)
  
  
  Teleportation equipment is not allowed, however in depth spells that allow teleportation (At high cost and long cast length) are allowed.
  
  
  Phaseing equipment is allowed by comes with consequences of semi permanence. (IE if your character uses phase weapons/phase armor, they themselves will be stuck out of phase permanently without spell caster intervention, said caster needs to be out of phase and know the mechanics of phase walking to remove someone from phase. I'm not going to explain what phase mechanics I mean, If your posting about it, you need to know it yourself.)
  
  
  Armor is basically what you can dream up, but remember that all barriers and weapons can be broken. I WILL break your characters as I see fit.

• 
  
  
  If you go away for a period longer then I deem acceptable based on the current climate of the play without working your character to the side-lines or some form of OOC warning I will kill you off. No hard feelings but I don't feel like letting another one of my plays die because someone doesn't feel like posting anymore and just decides to toddle off because they're too childish to simply say they're over the play. The Death Aspect will be worked into the story itself, My character or one of the other monster authors will come in and kill you, Painfully. There are no do-overs with this rule either. You cannot be revived from this occurrence.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Can I reserve a monster character? If yes, I'll put my cs later. If not, I'll be a monster hunter. (Ooh, it rhymes.)

 

[Kazanna]

You need to interview for it. There are sort of strict requirements for this and I may already be full on monster authors. You are still free to apply for a position as a hunter however.

 

[Giovanni Favehari]

So when will this get started.

 

[Kazanna]

When we have a few more monster hunters, Be patient please. It's taken me tooth and claw to get the few players I have so far and I posted this resource over a week and a half ago. Guess no one likes being a hero.

@AshenLily


I have added further lore in the second post on the front page. Please feel free to read it. Monster Hunters, You are not required to place your characters in these cities, however, if it should come to the point that the hunters that join seek to start together as part of an organized hunters guild or legion I'll set up a vote, However, you may place your point of origin in one of the three cities or declare that you come from one of the fallen cities (Which I will put in further lore soon) in your character sheets.


Questions, Comments, Remarks, Words of Advice, Shenanigans? Post them up, Let me know what you all think.

 

[Firelava]

If you're interested in Soulbastion I can talk about what it looked like before the tyrant destroyed it

 

[Kazanna]

I can add it as one of the fallen cities. That goes for everyone else as well, if you have an idea for a city that you want to design to have it be one of the fallen human cities, speak up.

 

[AshenLily]

Gotcha! I'll think on it when it's not 2 in the morning, and post here if I think of anything constructive. xD

 

[Kazanna]

So... at like... 4 am, @Morridan and I were fucking around on Skype, and... We kind of broke @DescriptedEnd 's Character sheet... We fixed it! but we learned of the horrors of BBCode... sort of... We fixed part of it that was broken, but in doing so, broke another part.. and then fixed that part... and... yeah... All better now! Des, your post got a bitch sticker! 's and cupcakes!


Allllll Better now!

 

[Morridan]

Okay so... This is what -REALLY- happened: (with specifics, and the order in which it happened lol)


1. We noticed your bbcode wasn't working properly with the separated text.


2. We fiddled with it. (breaking the Image Float in the process)


3. We fixed the separated text.


4. We looked at the now broken image...


5. We fixed the case sensitivity of said text for said image. (that one was my bad >.>)


6. Let the celebrations begin.

 

[dcentral]

Can't wait to get this started... sometime

 

[Morridan]

Indeed =)

 

[Kazanna]

I'm sorry for the delays, I'm building material. And NO Morridan, you may not! Not yet.

 

[Morridan]

>.> You don't know, nuthin' 'bout NUTHIN'!!" I DO WHAT I WANT!!

 

[dcentral]

All that being said, what level on the scale would be considered an everyday kill for regular hunters? I understand the general scale, but I wanted to be sure. I was assuming around 12 to 15

 

[Firelava]

Also need a power rating for the Tyrant still. I completely forgot

 

[Kazanna]

If the monsters are ranging between 1 and 20, the upper teirs being between 1 and 10, then the creatures hunters would be starting out on would be between 20 and 15.


Mostly small, or beast like creatures until later on. Anything stronger then level 15 will be controlled by one of the four monster players.

 

[Giovanni Favehari]

So are we gonna get this show on the road?!

 

[Kazanna]

Soon as I have my material ready and I'm prepared to do so. Yes. I will present it when I am ready to present it. I'm also talking a few more people into joining. So, You shall be patient.

 

[Giovanni Favehari]

Alr then :tongue::wink::smiled:

 

[Morridan]

What is this... "Patience" you speak of? >.>

 

[dcentral]

Patience, my one weakness... among others such as knives, bullets, and caustic liquids.

 

[Firelava]

people made of fire don't often come with patience. I mean we literally burn up. 
The walls of Soulbastion as it feel before the advances of the Scion hordes. The tech they used was not enough to save them. WIth their death the tech of the future was consumed and destroyed. The city out of time is gone now!

 

[Morridan]

As a suggestion for "Cities". Perhaps there could be a few hidden ones that were locked away by people hundreds upon hundreds of years ago by the oppressed humans. And perhaps their numbers have dwindled away. But their advancements (and a few stoic residents) remain?


Steia Forne the Forge City. Run by this fine gentleman below. Mua-hah-hah....

And Phyurne Majorn the Mana Caverns?? The hunters will need alot of help to take down the big monsters... What better way to find that help than to go SPELUNKING!!! =D
