A Call to the Brave... and the Foolish.

"...In this world, this dying land, only the desperate dare answer the call..."

Oasis, a crumbling inn in the heart of forsaken wilds, is the last bastion of warmth and refuge—though even it is but a shadow of what it once was. The winds howl through its broken walls, and those who find shelter within its decaying halls may come to realize that no one truly escapes the darkness that permeates the world.

Oasis' caretaker, Kaelios, is the only one who remains—an enigmatic figure whose presence offers more questions than answers. They whisper of things lost, forgotten, and buried beneath the surface, where monsters roam and ancient evils stir once more.

But you are not here to seek the truth—at least, not yet. You are here for something more tangible.

Power. Wealth. Glory.

These promises echo through the land, carried by the winds and the rumors of those who have dared enter the wilds and survived. As a Hunter, you will forge your own path, seeking treasure, rare beasts, and secrets hidden in the darkest corners of the world. Oasis waits for your renown, your strength, and your will to shape its fate. Each quest completed, each monster slain, will bring Oasis one step closer to rebirth—or ruin.

But know this: the world does not give without taking.

For every victory, there is a price. For every secret uncovered, there are more waiting to be unearthed. The riches you claim may come at the cost of your sanity. The power you seek may change you in ways you cannot comprehend. And in the shadows, forces older than time itself may take notice of your actions.

-A World of Shadows: This is not a land of heroes, but of survival. Danger lurks at every turn, and glory is a fleeting thing. Choose your path carefully—foolishness has its consequences.

-Become a Hunter: Make a Pact with Oasis by signing your name in the Book of Hunters, Slay beasts and monsters, and be rewarded wealth and fame.

-Oasis in Need: Oasis
awaits its savior—or its destroyer. Your actions will rebuild, reshape, or ruin this place forever. Your choices will echo far beyond its walls.

-Dark Secrets Await: What lies beyond the Hub? What ancient powers stir in the wilds? The answers you seek may unravel more than you ever intended.


Will you join the ranks of the Hunters? Wealth and glory call to the brave—but remember, the Path of Woe is not for the faint of heart. The price of your ambition may be more than you bargained for.
 
This is a really awesome concept! I'm very interested.

Awesome! I'm going to go ahead and summarize a few key things to give you, and anyone else who shows interest, an idea of how I see things going. That being said, I'm super flexible and open to ideas and critique.

-Original versions of characters required. You are more than welcome to import characters but understand that they would be alternate variants in this world. Essentially you're starting off at "Level 1". This is for reasons...

-General roleplay flow will follow a simple structure. After the prologue and being introduced to Oasis, players will choose and complete bounties earning various rewards and renown. Rewards will in some way contribute to improving Hunters while Renown will open up higher ranked bounties and opportunities to improve Oasis.

-After certain thresholds, Key Quests become available which will afford active participants special goodies, as well as progress the overarching story.

-So long as you respect the "power scale", character customization is pretty open ended (within reason). This is a hodgepodge force haphazardly assembled to combat a growing threat with little hope of success. It makes sense that the pool to draw from would be small, yet diverse. A loose format of Hunter creation will be provided soon, but "it be more like a guideline".

-Thinking we can start with two or three. If this doesn't garner much interest, I'll adjust and run it with whoever is willing and able.

Any questions, comments, concerns, ask away.

[Need more info. Magic, tech, is this monster hunter inspired? Need scenario prompt and details.]

Inspiration for this was drawn from The Witcher and Dark Souls/Bloodborne. Dark fantasy, medievalish era so low tech that can be complimented by magic or arcane means. The story will start in "the boonies" with the potential to discover/travel to places with advanced infrastructure. Also, players interested in ranged combat, while starting with bows or crossbows, have the possibility of gaining access to appropriate firearms. Just a small example.

This would be my first online RP of any sort. I have experience with DnD in the past, but I'm not sure how it would translate to a long-distance setting.
That being said, I would love to be a part of this, if you'll have me.
 
The more the merrier! And don't worry about this being your first online rp. We're just a few beans trying to do some collaborative writing. No pressure.
