Miz & Pineapple Game
INTRODUCTION
No one knows exactly how the world came to be. Maybe a city of chastity would have some tomes describing the events that corrupted the world. However we are not blessed enough to have such knowledge. All we know is that outside the sanctuary is a dangerous wasteland. It may not appear to be such from inside the sanctuary’s protective aura but don’t be fooled: the forests, mountains and plains of these unseen lands are unlike those within. They are twisted and distorted, with creatures and plants manifesting in forms which are difficult to describe without seeing it for yourself. Its in these wastelands that both archons and djinns roam. They are not alone however, as spawns and other depraved beings capable of existing in such terrible wastelands also traverse the landscape.
Many believe djnns produced this horrifying world. These unseen infernal creatures are shapeless. Becoming one with the environment they distort, they use their auras to influence the landscape: producing spawns and corrupting any creatures that gets close. These creatures are so powerful and abundant their aura has spread across the entire earth, with the exceptions of small sanctuaries scattered in between. Leaving a sanctuary’s protective barrier for a matter of minutes can alter a person (mentally and physically) for some time after. Walking in to the wasteland for long periods without protection is suicide, at best.
Fortunately there is a salvation. Humans from ages prior managed to survive through hunting Archons. The blood of archons is needed to protect our city and produce a sanctuary’s aura. As you probably know, this aura emitting from archons’ blood produces the unseen protective barrier around our city. Yet what many forget is that this aura also imposes a special virtue on a sanctuary’s inhabitants. This virtue depends on which type of archon is killed.
Yet it is not an easy task. Archons are powerful celestial creatures that are capable of naturally reverting the wasteland with their very presence. Archons take multiple forms whether flora, fauna or something indescribable. They possess various magical talents depend on the virtue they emanate. They are predatorial and just as destructive as any other horrible creature in the waste. For this reason we must kill them and extract their blood. Filling this blood into massive containers known as chalices that lie in the center of a sanctuary, we are able to replicate an archon’s natural essence. At least until the blood dries out.
Because of the crisis that befallen our city a generation ago, we are now an infused city (a city with a mixture of different virtues). Our chalice is no longer pure of any one virtue, as such we do not care which archons we slay. Now we care only for our continued survival and avoiding the mistakes of the past.
You have been selected at the Festival of Kindling by the cosmic artifacts which awaken on that special day. Selecting you as their chosen it is your duty to use these magical items to slay archons and anything else in your way. Removing an archon’s heart, and piercing it with your artifact will allow you to absorb its blood and deposit it later into our city’s chalice. Gifted with some of the last blood from our chalice into several small vials, you are the only group of humans from our city able to wander the wasteland.
GAMEPLAY INFORMATION
Group Storytelling
There is no single Game Master of this forum game. Instead this game will follow traditional forum roleplaying mechanics and allow every character to describe their surroundings from their character’s perspective. For this reason you are expected to contribute things to the game and add details in your own posts through your character’s perspective. This includes what your character sees when a fellow players succeeds or fails, when magic is casted, etc.
As players in this game you must be okay with the fact that there is not just one storyteller to determine the consequences actions and instead the effects of your actions will be determined by your fellow players based around what you rolled (see below). As well you must accept that this means as a player you must be willing to help make environments, enemies and plots in OOC that we will encounter.
There is of course limitations to this. Godmodding and other things will not occur in the game. This is because even though you make up actions and events with other characters, even to the point of explaining what enemies do in reaction to being attacked (such as making them roll) from your character’s perspective, you cannot describe damage being inflicted on or the actions being performed by another player character.
That being said NPCs and Background Characters are fair game, the same with enemies assuming the rolls done against or by them succeed/fail.
Shorter Character Sheets - The character sheet for this game will not be released until the game is up. That way everyone can see the full game and spell information before making their characters. However this game Pineapple and I will be having a short but sweet character sheet that will utilize bullet points. We hope that this will encourage players to be creative but also not inflict the time and commitment issues that can come from trying to add a lot of details in the character creation process (that can be summed up easily in a list format).
Post below if you have any questions or if you interested in playing.
