Diablo Roleplay Interest Check

Diablo Roleplay Interest Check

This is an interest check for a Diablo fandom role play. It will take place within the realm of Sanctuary as a prequel to the three games. In the year 964 there is a rebellion, Led by Azmodan and Belial, and many of the Hells' lesser demons rise up against the Prime Evils in a rebellion that culminates in the Dark Exile. Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal are exiled to Sanctuary from the Burning Hells. Demons are breaking through rifts underground and wreaking havoc on the dreadlands of Sanctuary.

The timeline gives an idea of when this occurs in comparison with the games.

The roleplay will start in the year 968 outside a city called Uralis, located in Sku’rea. Sku’rea is under siege by two of the three Demonic Lords, Diablo and Baal. As an adventurer you are sent out on a quest to locate the Fort of Iorda and aid it in its defense against the Demons that seek to conquer all of man. Once in the town a series of quests will be given to do by the people who live in the fort. From there we should be allowed to move wherever, giving more freedom to people. Movement will be like gameplay, going by foot, caravan, and boat, collecting waypoints along the way. The heroes main goal though is to defeat the Demonic Lords and stop the invasion.

Character Bio:

Each person will have one character, which can either be one of the following classes or a custom class as long as they have a detailed description of the class along with three class trees and a few examples of spells. Class spells are not limits to what classes can do but rather examples.

Character Classes:

Assassin: Assassins use martial arts, mind/shadow, and trap skills. They focus on the natural abilities of the mortal body - powers of the mind and unarmed combat.

Barbarian: Barbarians use combat skills, combat masteries (weapon masteries), and warcries. The Barbarian is a melee class, but he can move quickly and absorb damage.

Demon Hunter: The Demon Hunter uses shadow, explosive/fire, and trap abilities. They are quick and agile like assassins, but use ranged weapons instead of melee.

Druid: Druids use elemental (fire and wind), shape-shifting, and summoning skills. Druids tend to summon animal allies and shape-shift into werewolves and werebears.

Monk: Monks use melee skills, defense skills, and holy skills. They are hand to hand fighters, but also have spells to support them.

Necromancer: Necromancers use curses; bone and poison; and summoning skills. They summon undead and golems to help them fight.

Paladin: Paladins use offensive auras, defensive auras, and combat skills. The use holy spells allowing them to kill their enemies.

Rogue: Rogues (Amazons) use Bow and Crossbow skills; Javelin and Spear skills, and passive and magic skills. Rogues use ranged weapons and tend to keep their distance.

Sorcerer/Sorceress: Sorceress use elemental magic; fire, ice, lightening. Although some other classes also have elemental abilities, mages are more adept and have more spells with more control over the elements.

Witch Doctor: Witch Doctors use disease and fire; summoning; and curses. They cast many spells and do rituals.

Wizard: Wizard’s use elemental, time, and arcane skills. They are magic users like Sorcerers, but cast less elemental spells.


Other than all of this, I can supply a list of NPCs and I can look for a bestiary but I assume that is not necessary until we get the OOC up. My idea is to create a post as the list of towns and cities, and put a small description and list of NPCs in each one.

[Gadreille]

Considering D3 isn't coming out until I'm in my sixties...

I'm in!

[Artorius]

Must we have knowledge of the videogame to be able to play?

[Mojave Wanderer]

No knowledge required . If it helps I can try and sum up how the game works though.

[Chainlinc3]

I've been looking for a reason to try the Diablo series... Sounds interesting. Need to see how some other things shape up, but I'm interested.

[Red_Wolf]

I would like to join the diablo roleplay. I played both games and know a good amount of the story line.

[Gadreille]

Woot! RED has joined the ranks!


SO...when do we begin?

[Guest]

I will also be joining.

[Mojave Wanderer]

Well it seems we have enough interest, now its time to get the OOC up! I'll try to get it up soon, hopefully by the beggining of next week.

[Mojave Wanderer]

The OOC is up, and here is the link

All questions and comments should be posted in the interest check until all characters are posted.

[Gadreille]

I'd love to know what classes you guys are wanting

[Red_Wolf]

I think you might be able to guess my preferred class. I'll give you a hint, my avatar . Druid in case someone here has not played Diablo 2 expansion set.

[Gadreille]

Well ya I knew what you wanted

I think Silvone is wanting to go with necromancer, I'm stuck between assassin, sorc, witch doctor and wizard

[Red_Wolf]

I think you should go assassin, its a fitting build .

[Gadreille]

It seems like assassins were founded by the Horadrim, which technically hasn't formed yet? It looks difficult to incorporate Assassin history with the timeline we have been given.

Also, if Silv goes with necromancer I shouldn't pick witch doctor...they are too similar.

I have a feeling I'm going to go with sorceress.

[Red_Wolf]

It was difficult to get the druid in, but I beleive Bul-Kathos and his friend Fiacla-Géar were before the horadrim, can't be certain. Does anyone who posted in this forum know what character they would like? I'm very interested in knowing what classes my allies will be.

[Mojave Wanderer]

As class history goes, I knew there would be some issues, but feel free to have an "alternate" history for your people and your bio.

I put Red's character under the characters section will put in Ryona's as soon as she lets me know that she is finished.

[Gadreille]

She is finished. I didn't bother writing a personality, but rather described sorceress mindset in general, as I'm not yet sure what she's going to be like.

Might I recommend that you link the characters in the character post rather then posting all of the information? It will make it less cluttered, and we can freely make changes without you having to worry about updating your version.

[Mojave Wanderer]

Point taken, Im still not sure about chainlink but I can still PM him. As for my character, I'm not sure exactly when I'll put it up

[Gadreille]

Hopefully Chain is still in...it doesn't seem we are getting any others

[Mojave Wanderer]

Well, once we get all our characters up I'll put (accepting) next to the OOC title.

[Gadreille]

Here is a link to help with inventory (provided by Red_wolf)

[Red_Wolf]

If anyone needs any help on how to use the site, just PM me. I'll try to explain how it can be used
