Hiya!
For the record, Im already gming another rp, so Im not exactly 100% on how my schedule will be like. However, Ive felt perhaps I can do another rp. Or at least, Ive had an itch for another rp. This one will be quite different than my other rp, which is based on sort of the idea of Overpowered characters. This setting is different, for the most part, its a world where everyone is underpowered. Except for one thing.
Note, this is a true interest check. I wont make this rp unless there's enough interest in actually rping it. If there isnt enough, then I won't make it, so be warned about that
If theres enough interest, I will explain more about talents and the way the world functions and lore and stuff.
Please dont randomly pop in only to bounce and dip, if you're showing proper interest, make sure to stick around! Thanks!
Common rp rules apply, you probs know them by now.
I would like a certain level of skill in writing and rp. It doesn't have to be super or highly advanced or anything. But at least within the realm of comprehension. I want active characters, not non-active characters that don't actually do anything.
If it isn't clear below, our characters will each be like supreme in 1 aspect. That can be something as simple as swordsmanship. Or as mundane as cooking. (And we'll discover just what it means to be "S rank" in a talent). But our other skills will be as generic and bland or normal as everyone else. And no two characters will have the same S rank talent.
===========================================================
Our world was drastically changed when the Dread Labyrinth appeared. It terraformed the Earth and destroyed land, leading to a world-wide catastrophe, resulting in the deaths of many people. For various reasons it wasn't possible to count, but the estimated losses were in the billions. Another thing that happened was that all modern tech was completely destroyed. Some sort of demonic magical interference stopped modern technology from working. That meant no tvs, no cell phones, no electricity, no vehicles, and no rocket ships. The world had reverted to the dark ages.
Along with the Dread Labyrinth came the Dread System. A strange 'unknowable' system that oddly resembles a video game's interface. As the Dread System -or DS- came to be, so did those that became 'Chosen'. Other names like 'awakened' and 'activated' popped up here and there, but the term 'Chosen' was universally settled on. Once it was, it even appeared in the DS.
Although modern technology was lost, humans in all their ingenuity, managed to revive some of those lost conveniences.. using magic. Now called Magi-tech. Devices like cellphones now exist, but they use mana to run, and have various magi-tech components within them. Same for magi-tvs, and other similar things.
While this was a tragedy of untold proportions -the worst in humanity's history- there were those that became excited with this new development. For many, the current world was hell, and its unchanging, boring nature had led many to despair. With the arrival of the DL, these people felt newly invigorated in their lives. The world changed, and with that, they thought their lives could become something greater. They thought their lives could change for the better. With the Labyrinth came excitement.
How wrong the were. If they thought their previous lives were 'hell', they hadn't yet known true hell.
While it was true, the Chosen were gifted with unique Talents, Skills, and Spells. The truth of it was much worse than expected.
Most Chosen fall under F or D or C rank, with talents and skills of low and poor quality. They're barely able to match up against the early, generic monsters that flood out of the Labyrinth. Early on, these people were extremely excited to go out there and "fight some monsters!" But those early fools died fool deaths. Then the hell of this world was truly realized by humanity. Monsters are much much stronger, even in spite of the benefits of the DS. Humans simply cannot match up.
Fortunately for you, you are not like those fools. You are a Chosen that is gifted. You are gifted one S rank Talent. You are a special case in this world. A 1-in-a-million talent. Or perhaps, you were just beyond lucky. If you can even call it luck. For what purpose were you given your talent? For one such as you to possess such a talent, you are obligated to use it for the benefit of humanity, are you not?
S rank Talents are so unknown, that humanity hasn't even witnessed them yet. But that will change. Our characters will reveal their talents, and find themselves at the forefront of humanity's vanguard. You have a lot of expectations falling upon your shoulders, can you handle the pressure? And what of the Dread Labyrinth? How will it respond to humanity's newfound heroes?
Reasons for entering the Labyrinth
As the world was terraformed, much of it was ruined, leaving a majority of the land either desolate, or inhospitable as monsters flood out of the labyrinth's many openings and take over land. These monster-heavy lands are called Monster Nests. With how weak the average Chosen are, humanity is gradually being pushed back to "Humanity-owned" zones.
The Labyrinth has a variety of useful items, supplies, and other various things that benefit humanity. Even food and ingredients can be found within. It's like the Labyrinth is saying "Enter me. You have to."
