Fantasy Calamity's Shadow - Steamfantasy Fight Against Evil (With Dragons)

MythyDW

Five Thousand Club
The world of Meldena was born with a dark secret in its core: The Calamity. For eons the Calamity ruled over the world, its daemons roaming the land and feasting on the discord created by conflict. By the end, there were only two sentient races left on Meldena: Humans, and Dragons.

Dragons were the most powerful, blessed with affinity for magic and natural power. Humans, once considered the weakest, had outlasted the rest with ingenuity and their ability to unite. Dragons and humans soon came together and created the pact: an agreement between their races that imbued both with power yet unknown to their race.

Humans gained the ability to use magic and dragons gained the ability to transform into a human and hide among their population while still retaining their power. Eventually, the fight came to the Calamity. On the verge of defeat, the Calamity cut the continent of Lokanon in half and fell into a sleep deep within the ocean. The pact was thus invoked to bind the Calamity to sleep forever.

However, his daemons still existed. When conflict rages the daemons will manifest, the mere appearance of the shadowy, physical monsters weakening the bind. As well, the cleaving of Lokanon weakened the pact - the eastern Kingdom of Rhodia had been cut off from the dragons, and thus began to grow their technology. The Dragonkin of the west have lived under the dragons since the cleaving, wearing tattoos that react and glow to the presence and use of magic.

The humans found each other again, but the differences drew them to suspicion and eventually an action ignited a war. Thus was the Calamity awoke once again.
----------

The players in this RP will be able to create a human from the steamfantasy faction (Kingdom of Rhoda) - who have cylinder-based/bolt-action weapons (as well as fantasy weapons) and automata ; or the Dragonkin who wield powerful magic and enchanted gear. The PCs will be bounty hunters, going after corrupted humans and slaying daemons for coin - all while working together and helping people survive in a world growing increasingly more dangerous.
(Dragons will be restricted to GMPC most likely)

That's my idea! If you're interested, please drop a message below, and don't hesitate to ask questions or make comments!​
 
You got any comments or questions at the moment?
Not too much right now. I'm mostly curious if you're thinking of starting with the PCs as an established group or if they'll be meeting for the first time?
Also if you have an idea for how the magic works or if we'll be able tp flavour it how we want (within reason)?

Still working on magic and I tend to lean towards a new group of less-veteran characters

is it like dragons and wyverns or more creative like how to train your dragons?
It's classical western dragons, with human forms. But I'm not sure I'll let a player be a dragon yet
 
Very interesting, definitely going to keep an eye on this one.
 
Ooohhh!! Btw will this be using dice mechanics? Ive a hankering for one ^ร—^
Unsure as of yet. A full system maybe not, but maybe. If we use Discord for OOC I'd feel more comfortable as I know how to use a dice bot there. :)
 
Remembrance Remembrance

OOC is here :D
