Journey to the Underworld

[Knifey Keith]

At at time, the race of men dominated the surface world, though they were one species; humans belonged to many cultures, ethnicities, nations, religions and languages.

Reason enough for them to fight each other. Humans fought and killed each other over resources and petty differences for tens of thousands of years. Making new and better weapons, methods of fighting, technology… What began as clubs and spears has now evolved into firearms; the spray of shrapnel and bullets, explosives bringing stone and steel to the ground and now mankind even rules the sky- Dropping bombs on those who cannot fly. Some claim that even the forces of magic and the supernatural has it's part to play.

Eventually a war so epic sparked, that it involved almost every nation and tribe of people in the world. Six years had passed, the great war among humans coming to a bloody end. Most nations withdrew, losing their stomach for violence. Those who didn't found themselves either the victors… Or Annihilated. However none were prepared for what was to come next; an enemy hidden beneath the soil for as long as mankind has existed. A many ancient races of monsters and otherworldly beings; the first attack was devastating, hordes of Reptilian soldiers swarmed the Southern Mass continent. Killing millions, these demonic serpent men were armed with weapons and technology equal, perhaps even superior to that of humans.

However this Underworld Empire did not stop there as more attacks came. Entire nations conquered and enslaved, many innocent people taken to the deep depths of the world… Their fate unknown.

Whilst the armies of humanity fight against the inhuman armies in their own way. A mission is planned, a group being formed… A chosen few who excel in their field, set out on a brave and daring mission to the centre of the Earth; where they would find a way to help the world of men defeat their new enemy.

An expedition, a journey… To the Underworld.

So it's a world somewhat like ours, based in an early 1900's level of technology and science. Magic exists, however it's rarely seen and met with the same level of disbelief or scepticism as the real world. You can invent a nation or culture if you like… But for fucksake keep it reel niggah.

Also… When I do introduce the classes, they will be fairly specialised. As in… If you choose a magical character, they are not an awesome sword fighter or a gunslinger. Things do not work that way in this RP. Also if I feel that your character or culture is ridiculous or over powered, I'll knock yeh back… There aint shit you can do about it.

What do you want????


On the character sheet, I mean.

[Knifey Keith]

I will set up a character skeleton later today.

[Gadreille]

Yo, I got uber sick again, so give me a bit on the CS.

[Knifey Keith]

Realised it may be a good idea to post the link to the OOC: http://www.footstepsofghosts.com/t4631-journey-to-the-underworld-ooc

It's also now on the Opening Post.

Yo and ah, hope you get well soon. I myself fuckin hate being sick, from last we spoke you made it fairly clear that you also loathe it.

[Gadreille]

Yeah I pretty much hate it.

I was trying to do my CS anyway, before the meds kicked in...but I find myself torn on whether to make a magic or non-magic character. Are magic characters limited to magic fighting techniques, or could I have, say, a gunslinger with magic abilities (not sure what kind yet, but just trying to figure out the limits here).

Yea I'd prefer a straight up gun slinger.

Otherwise EVERYONE has to be a mage warrior or machine gun wielding necromancer or… You get the idea.

[Knifey Keith]

Ok so I've had a thought…

DO WHAT YOU WANT.

You guys want to have Samurai Dragon/ Werewolf/ Vampires with sword guns and magic powers.

Do it, I don't care anymore.

[Gadreille]

I don't really care. If it needs to stick to one class type, I'm going to do a non magic one.

[Aude Timor]

So since this is open, I'm gona jump in and be the quack medic. I may just use anybody for an experimental platform if you are sleeping. But I won't let anybody die, promise.

[SolidariGee]

I've put in a CS for a mystic that the group can encounter early on in their journey. It's in the OOC!
