You have thirty days until the end of the world, and the clock is already ticking.
Shadows are lurking near, ready to plunge the world into total darkness. The streets are abandoned by all except for Horrors, Dires, and the ill-fated heroes, destined to put the sinister rule to an end. Who are these heroes? Well, unfortunately I could name a few. Us.
Long ago, a Dire by the name of Chaos wreaked havoc on this world, threatening to wipe out the whole of sanity. He wanted no riches, no orderly rule. He wanted one thing only; to see the world and fear and disorder for the mere sick pleasure of it. To be able to control the people like puppets. His reign cast a dark shadow on history, and the people were left devastated, abandoned by every sliver of hope. But there is always someone to rise up against evil. A brave legend who wouldn't back down.
His name was Tannim. Disgusted by Chaos's twisted way of thinking, he approached the Dire Overlord to request a battle. He knew it was hopeless. Chaos could crush him with a single word. So instead of taking up a sword, Tannim lured Chaos to Mount Igneous, a volcano at the world's end, and trapped him inside. Chaos's essence was imprisoned in stone, and to make sure he couldn't return to the mortal world, the victorious hero shattered the stone with his sword. But he had underestimated the Dire. Chaos could still whisper orders to his Dire Servants, commanding them to collect the pieces and restore him to his original form. In order to prevent this, Tannim distributed the Chaos Shards to different individuals across the country, to protect them from Dires and Horrors with their lives.
Since then, the Dires have been trying to recover, and haven't had much of a grip on us. But now, they're making their way back and will do anything to retrieve all the missing shards. And a certain group of people—the descendants of the protectors—must guard the stones and put an end to it all, without the Horrors catching them.
Setting: The world that the characters live in is mythical, but it also has a lot of modern things. For instance, there are small villages and things as so, but there are also big cities like in modern America. Or, their technology is more advanced in some ways, but less advanced in others. Most places are in ruins though, and people generally stay indoors. The most populated race is human, but there are a few others, though the others are often shunned.
Dires are basically shadows with no form that can possess a human and transform their host into a ruthless monster. After it has finished its work, the host dies, except in rare occasions.
Horrors are like reapers, trying to bring the fate of death upon those who they deem ready, especially the heroes. You can't fight them, only outrun them, so it's a constant chase.
In this role-play you can be a Hero, a Dire, or a Phantom. I think I have explained things well enough for now... anyone interested? If so, please reply. I will answer any questions.
