The Dark Shards (OOC/Open)
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 1:13 pm
Long ago, in ancient Babylon a man by the name of Mushussu witnessed a star fall to earth. Locating the fallen star, he discovered that it was, in fact, a meteor made up of what appeared to be pure ruby. Not only this, but the ruby was perfectly round, about the size of a modern soccer ball. Mushussu took the ruby home and began studying it. He discovered that it held phenomenal paranormal power. Mounting it to a staff, Mushussu set out to take over Babylon and, indeed, the entire world. However, at the peak of Mushussu's reign of terror, just before he finally took over, the Ruby shattered, spreading fragments all across the globe. The blast turned Mushussu into a terrible monster. Thankfully, a Babylonian priest found a single shard and used it to imprison Mushussu in a pocket dimension prison, the entrance to which he hid in the city. Only that completed Ruby Sphere could unlock Mushussu's prison.
The shards of the ruby changed the course of history. Each shard contained a fraction of the powers the completed sphere contained. They eventually found themselves in the possession of some of history and myth's greatest heroes and villains. These people incorporated the ruby shards into everyday items, which then took on the powers the shards possessed. These artifacts have survived to this day, and are now in the hands of two groups of people.
The Cult of Mushussu: Those who want to reform the sphere and release Mushussu, and are using their personal shard artifacts to collect others.
The Protectors: Those who use their shard artifacts to fight back against the Cult.
So basically, you'll choose a side, pick an artifact (real or imaginary) from history, and battle it out. The artifacts power's always relate to the person who owned them, or the event that surrounded them (ala Warehouse 13). It all takes place in the modern day era.
Key to below: Red=Cult, Green=Protectors, Blue=Rogue, Bold=Owned by a character in the game
