So I know I'm knew and all, but I thought I'd try my hand at starting up a semi-serious RP with some of you guys who're interested. I'm asking for at least 5 sentences so we have some meat for the story, and detailed characters (which is a given, I'm sure.)
So here is my story so far:
The setting is on a medieval fantasy planet, with unlimited races (furry-related). The technology of the day is limited to castles and catapults, but there is magic. Those who have magic train diligently, mages vying for power over the varied lands and the politicians who run it, and others training to bring down the corrupted system of control and fighting against the rallied forces of greed. Magic is used in place of technology in many ways, for weaponry, for transportation, etc.
But recently, in a small village tucked away in the mountains, a maniac mage rises to power. He slays the entire village and raises them as his army of the dead, twisting his magics so the curse is spread like a virus and his forces grow as they ravage through the land.
[my fursona] Aurora, a silver werefox was inflicted with the curse, yet something went wrong. Perhaps it was because she was herself a practiced mage, or perhaps some divine spirit watched over her and deemed her worthy to defeat the fire with fire. She lives as an undead, imbued with unnatural powers over dark magic. Her intelligence sharpened with the knowledge of death, and her strength fortified, the fox was born again as a creature designed to bring down the growing dark powers as one of their own.
In her waking moments, though, a lust for a soul overpowered her, and the savage undead submitted to her carnal will and killed. Drenched in the blood of what had been her beloved wolf, she understood what she had done was wrong, and while enlightened, was deeply ashamed and disturbed at her own existance. She locked herself away for years, diving deeper into the waters of arcane knowledge and mastering the necromatic arts. Fuller mature and having discovered her purpose, Aurora returned to the world to find it wasted and ravaged. The necromancer had taken control of the lands, and had perfected his undead minions. There was still a population of living, much to her surprise, yet they lived in a state of fear and near-slavery to their master. The walls of his kingdoms were tall and shiny with metal, new structures and industries fighting for space in the crowded dirty lands. His minions were preserved now, as she was, strong and muscular with the supreme physical power she contained herself. Yet their eyes were empty of souls, and they were little more then the brute force of his empire now.
So Aurora sets out into this strange and foreign world, to bring warriors to her side and establish a force powerful enough to take back their place in this world.
if interested, post info and background stories here, and if there are enough ppl, i'll start the RP in another post asap!!
thanks guys
