Deamons have hounded all of life since the dawn of time. Whether it be in the form of natural disaster or plagues, it can be most assuredly said Deamons were behind it. With their rampaging left unchecked the Deamons soon became drunk on power. God saw this and bestowed upon those He deemed worthy a blessing. He gave unto them the power to fight and destroy the Deamons. Those who were given this blessing were called Exorcists. For thousands of years the Exorcists fought the Deamons slowly turning the tide of battle. In an event known through time as The Runelock Skirmish the Exorcists expended all of their being to banish the Deamons from the world. With the Deamons gone all of furkind was able to expand civilization. They were able to learn and invent unimpeded. However with the world in safety furkind had no need for Exorcists and so these powers lay dormant in chosen ones, never hinting even to their host what power lay inside them. Furkind soon inhabited the entirety of the world, and raised from nothing vast cities, but as the grew in powers so did the Deamons. The Deamons began to whittle away the power of the Hex that bound them in Tartarus, with the Hex weakened evil began seeping back into the world. Brothers began turning on one another, innocent became corrupted. The Deamons had gained a new foothold into the world, and with this new foothold them began to return to the Earth. They look for a way to destroy the Runelock so that they may run unchecked once more. We can only pray your powers awaken in our time of need Exorcist.
Rules: My word is Law. If you have a disagreement with anyone or anything you take it up in PM. If you have a question brooch it here in the OOC or PM me. There will be perma-death. You will get one warning of any major rule infractions before being removed from the RP. Be respectful to each other at all times. No godmodding ever. No autohitting, this includes enemies. This will be somewhat grounded in realism so no matrix bullet dodging nonsense or fighting 5 hours without being winded. I'm looking for specific character types so I will be picking and choosing which characters suit my/the rp's needs.
Potentially asked Questions.
Q: If you need specific character types can't you just tell us what kind of character you need?
A: No, it's more of that i'll know it when I see it feeling.
Q: Is this going to be a religious RP?
A: Eh, not really. It's going to be a pseudo-religious rp with elements borrowed somewhat heavily from various lore sources.
Q: What do you mean Episodic?
A: Exactly what it sounds like, the rp will be done in sections or 'episodes'. Think something akin to the Walking dead game.
Q:Does this mean there will be numerous episodes?
A: No, again it will be done in similar style to the Walking Dead game. In other words once we reach an either critical point or good end point. That episode will end, then I will introduce the next episode with a recap and filler for what happened in between time.
Q:With perma-death will we be able to re-up with a new character?
A: At this point in time no, I don't want the rp getting bogged down with numerous characters. Dead or otherwise.
Q: How many characters can we have?
A: You can submit as many as you wish, but as stated in the rules I will be picking what characters are green-lit for play, but to answer your question directly. I'd prefer one per, but might allow a max of two.
Q:What happens if nobody joins or for some reason you don't meet some sort of assumed character quota?
A: Well then i'll fill in roles as needed, hell i'll even do this solo if it comes to that.
Q:If we're going to be gone for extended periods of time what should we do and what will happen to our characters?
A: Inform me of when you will be gone and expected return. As for your characters once in a safe area they will be removed from any upcoming events/battles etc etc. But they will remain playable upon your return.
Q:Can we only be an Exorcist?
A: No, actually you can be a Guardian. Essentially their main function is to assist Exorcists, they may not fight like an Exorcist, but they get some cool powers the Exorcists don't get. If anybody wants to be a Guardian PM me and i'll inform you more over them.
Q: Thank you for taking your time to clarify some things for us.
A: Not a problem at all, glad to help and hope to see you on the inside Exorcist.
