Story



http://moesucks.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/penanggalan-01.jpg



One must seek entry to the castle only by sacrificing another. It was years ago the one mother sacrificed her child to get entry into the castle. It was then that the residents of the castle let her in. She lived there for years and years until finally the day of her death came. It is not know by those that do not enter the castle what goes on behind the high walls of the monstrous structure but it is said that even the heaves heard the screams on that day. Mother Earth does not take kindly that her children were given away for a selfish reason, so when the mother died the castles residents threw her in front of the door to the castle. Mother earth sprung her clutches and turned the woman into a plant. She stands till this day with her organs sprouting out in front of the castle as a warning to all selfish dwellers of the land. And then mother earth separated the castle form the world punishing the residents to forever stay separate from the rest. But certain adventurers still try to seek entry to the castle where they say your dreams are made!



Setting



http://idesigniphone.net/wallpapers/05014.jpg


You are but with a group of adventurers on a journey to fin the mysterious banned castle, some of your comrades are destined to be sacrificed for the sake of entry. How far will you go to enter the ominous castle? Many surprises await you once you enter it, the residents are unknown to most of the world, this is a place to find death, torture and pain, but it is also a place where wishes and dreams come true ...

So once the group passed the grim forest that stood among them they saw but the castle dwindling on air, separated from humanity and life, with weary eyes they just were amazed by it's beauty, and it's horror. The sound of crying dragons was heard in mist. The howling wolves of the forest cried and begged not to make one step forward, but the humans did not listen, they never do.

Also you might ask for new advanced weapons, these will appear in the story and you will evolve your powers form there. Example of weapons and stocking weapons :


Weapon : Rifle

Rifle level 1 [0 points]

Rifle level 2 [20 points needed]

Rifle level 3 [50 points needed]

If not stocking you can use your points to add a new weapon to the list and then stock on it.

The second power you get later on in the RP is beast control, before starting in the character sheet you shall provide the beast that you have a "mental connection" with and your bond with that beast will surely be useful in the castle, as it is a place where beasts are born.

Name:
Mímir 'Mio' Hoenir

Age:
50

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
http://www.nastrond.net/hoenir.gif

Bio:
Son of Bor and Bestla, descendant of the old God with the same name, Hoenir(Mio) was said to have been bestowed godly powers - the power to control other creatures. For this he has been hunted all his adult life, ever since the king of Sumer got assassinated by his successor who denounced the old faith and started massacring those who wished not to convert. Everyone Mio knew since his childhood, including his family, has been killed. He, sworn to do anything to avenge his family now seeks the wisdom buried deep within the castle libraries. Wisdom that will help him get the revenge he so desperately wants and put himself to rest after almost thirty-five years of kill or be killed even if it means wiping out the entire castle population, all its beasts and mother Earth herself.

Personality:
Mio is a quiet man who trusts no-one. He shows no emotion as it could be used against him but he still feels them. He has accepted killing as a part of his life but it does not amuse him. He is a very zealous person who prays every day and he accepts everything that happens as he believes the Gods have a reason behind it. He believes that the reason he survived the onslaught was so that he could take revenge. He has a hard time accepting companions and will not think twice to deceive them if it will be for his own benefit. Has a horribly dry humor.

Weapon :
A two handed sword, forged by one of the Vanirs, stolen by Thiassi and reclaimed by the Aesir Gods Haenir(Hoenir). Passed down in generations and given to Mio on his tenth nameday. Glows white and becomes stronger the longer it stays with its wielder (creates a bond). Currently one of the stronger(st) swords in the kingdom due to its bond with Mio. The sword is one of the eleven Vanir swords still intact and was forged as number five.

Beast : Raven called Huginn that flies around the world, gathering information for Mio, not used in battle for other reasons than giving useful information about his foe or the surroundings.

Control: 20
Bond: 15
Usuage: 15

Other :
Nothing so far.

Heh yea, also tried to take some lore from the Norse myth (names) as well as pre-Babylonia (Sumer). :)

Sure, If no-one enters by like, end of this week we could roll just the two of us, show them how it's done and it'll be filled with people by the end of the next week :hip

Loving it, ancient literature and mythology as inspiration? Epic of Gilgamesh themes here I go! :zomg

Hm, since we are two now, we can discuss starting the whole thing whenever, since I will pace the story slowly we get kick off tonight, that way we will not be inside the castle when people decide to join.

I've been in love with Norse and pre-babylonia myths since forever. It's so, so cool and interesting and awesome and all that. Plus, reading that you realize that, for example both GRRM and Tolkien took an immense amount from them and it just makes it so much cooler! :3

Hohoho, have you read Epic of Gilgamesh?

Anyway, off-topic matters aside (we'll take it in either one of our threads :arf) who will your character be? Or will you only be the game master? Regardless, sure we can kick off tonight. =)

If no one joins, I will be forced to make another character, because otherwise I will also be the storyteller and a character, so double work, but that is provided it is just the two of us, I will kick it off with giving you a story to work on so you can post, as well as a general intro. :)

Go, go, go! Post, post, post! Intro post done! :P
