A World of Secrets [FANTASY ZOMBIE RP][OOC][OPEN]

[Flarbinia]

After careful consideration, I have decided that Golems are a playable race. However, new Golems cannot be created without the Tome of Cronus, a grimoire of great power written in the blood of Ymir and bound in the flesh of Tiamat by the King of the Titans himself, as it contains the ritual needed to bring the Golem to life. Though the Tome of Cronus has passed from one mortal to the next, only five of the Tome's owners are known: Lao Tzu/Laozi, Aristotle, William Shakespeare, Adam Weishaupt, and Judah Loew ben Bezalel. The creation of a Golem begins with the forging of a massive skeleton of bronze or iron. Once the skeleton is complete, it is covered with clay or stone with a slot craved into the center of the chest and eyes carved from rubies or sapphires are added. Once the clay is hardened or the last stone has been laid, the Golem is to be covered in Atlantean Runes and alchemical symbols to ensure that the Binding Charm properly restrains the Golem so that it does not murder its owner the moment it awakens. Once the creator of the Golem has finished marking the Golem, the creator is to place a Lemurian Soulstone (a Gem that contains the soul of a Lemurian warrior) in the slot while chanting "Guardian and Destroyer with Jeweled Eyes! Forged from Metal and Carved from Earth! Punish the Wicked and Protect your Creator's People! With the Soul trapped in this Gem formed in centuries long forgotten, I grant you life! Now Awaken and Rise!" in Chinese, Greek, Shakespearean English, German, or Ancient Hebrew. Once it is awakened, the Golem will develop personality traits based on the bits and pieces of the memories of the warrior trapped in the Lemurian Soulstone.

Arriving with Father Dagon and Mother Hydra centuries before Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, the Deep Ones are an ancient and reclusive race that dwells on the bottom of the ocean, living on a diet of fish, kelp, sea cucumbers, octopi, squids, sharks, Jellyfish, and occasionally whales. At some point in their history, a catastrophe occurred that made it impossible for Deep Ones to mate with each other, forcing them to make pacts with humans living on coasts and islands to ensure that their race does not go extinct, massive fortress cities being built in the Pacific and Atlantic and even the North Sea to reduce travel time (though they avoid Orkney due to it being located near Finfolkaheem and Hildaland, the two homes of the Finfolk), the offspring of a Deep One and a Human gaining the "Innsmouth Look" once they hit puberty and continuing to change until they become a Deep One. However, during the Roaring 20's, Y'ha-nthlei, the capital city of the Deep Ones, was attacked by the United States Military during the Siege of Innsmouth and while the city was only damaged, the Father Dagon ordered that the Capital be moved to Yc'thoggo, a Deep One stronghold off the coast of Japan, in the aftermath of the assault. Once the initial chaos caused by this pragmatic decision had ended, business continued as usual for the Deep Ones: gold and fish being provided to isolated coastal settlements and secluded island tribes in exchange for mates and human sacrifices. However, with the number of coastal settlements dwindling and zombies being unaffected by water pressure, the future of the Deep Ones remains uncertain.

Name: Josias Rudhall (Current). Eastorwine (Medieval). Sextus Junius (Roman). Anaximander (Ancient Greek)
Age: 2,385
Gender: Male
Description: Average height by modern standards due to changing his diet to fit the times. Average weight for a Hoplite. Black hair. Civil War era beard. Wears a Confederate Infantry officer's uniform from time to time (mostly for reenactments of battles he fought in).
Image (optional):
Personality: Stubborn. Headstrong. straightforward. Never backs down from a fight. Prefers speaking in his southern accent over his British or Greek accent.
Backstory: Born the son of Ares and a merchant's daughter twenty one years prior to the Battle of Leuctra, Anaximander desired to be a great warrior. He was secretly trained in his free time by a warrior named Euryphon (who was the son of Asclepius and the widow of an aristocrat. Not to be confused with the physician of the same name) due to his grandfather forbidding him from becoming a warrior, his body becoming stronger and skills getting sharper with every day spent training. When he was old enough, he joined the military, receiving even more intense training as a Hoplite than he had when he was younger. Upon being noticed by his superiors for his skill on the battlefield, he was inducted into the Theban Sacred Band, an elite group of three hundred Hoplites. During the Battle of Leuctra, he faced Lykomedes, the son of Helios, in combat, slaying his fellow demigod with a well timed thrust of his spear to the neck after several minutes of intense combat. In 338, Thebes was defeated in battle by Macedon, Euryphon being one of the men slain. After Alexander The Great's death, he left Greece and headed to Syracuse, marrying his first wife and having three children. After the lands that would become England were conquered by the Romans, he settled in the newly conquered territory under the name Sextus Junius, taking both the armor he wore as a Hoplite and the armor he wore as a legionnaire with him and remarrying. He spent a considerable part of the Middle Ages becoming a knight, learning how to ride a horse, improving his skill with the sword, and remarrying multiple times. He fought in the Third Crusade, albeit out of loyalty to King Richard the Lionheart rather than fanaticism.

Centuries later, Anaximander was fighting under Oliver Cromwell, having joined the Roundheads (men loyal to Parliament) under the name Josias Rudhall III. He slew four Cavaliers (aristocrats loyal to King Charles I) during the Battle of Edgehill with his musket, though it did not prevent it from becoming a stalemate. After four years of fighting, the English Civil War had ended and Josias Rudhall, seeing the writing on the wall, moved to South Carolina with his new wife and began a new life, finding peace after fighting two more wars, his Hoplite armor, Lorica segmentata, chainmail armor, and suit of plate armor now being on stands, his 1643 Pattern Matchlock Musket, Long Land Musket with the bayonet attached, 1766 Charleville musket, shields, cavalry sabre, Pilum, mace, and Yorkist banner hanging on the wall, his New Model Army uniform, crusader tabard, Xiphos, Gladius, and Pugio left in the closet. Unfortunately, the peace ended when the Confederacy opened fire on Fort Sumter and Josias Rudhall once again found himself fighting a civil war, the only difference being that he was an officer and that he joined a year after the war began. He fought from the Battle of Shiloh to the Battle of Gettysburg, but was forced to go home early due to medical complications, remarrying one last time after the Civil War was over, his sabre being set on the mantle. During the Twentieth Century, he attended reenactments in his Confederate uniform, playing the part of an officer flawlessly. He is currently the bodyguard of a Minotaur chieftain in Maine. The recent tensions between the Fay and the Werewolves have made his job more difficult.

Description (height, weight, hair color, etc.): 6'2, grey hair, 190 lbs
Image (optional): Looks like Sean Connery's character in The Rock.
Personality: Kind and all-business like, yet gruffly charming.
Backstory (min. of two paragraphs):

Karl Yakovich was a Russian immigrant who was granted US citizenship in 1987 when he was only 22 years old and lived a quiet life in Dodge City working undercover as KGB agent but was caught in the act over 25 years when his wife Marlena was found dead in cold blood in his kitchen when he came home late one evening. Karl Yakovich was found guilty though the real killer was never found or proven there was a real killer in the court trial in 2012. What turned out she was attacked by a zombie that was later discovered when the zombie crisis began but he remains in the Dodge City Prison which he is due for parole though that's still in question if that will happen. He is known best by his nickname "Red Spider".

However their were numerous crimes of mass killings he committed around the US stealing important government information and killing top officials so he would not be tracked. At one facility was in Topeka at the Kansas State Research Center where an individual was being observed because she contracted something which turned out to be the zombie virus. Karl tried to steal the research information as Russia wanted this information though never received. Since the Zombie Crisis things fell apart and lost contact with the Russian government. The research Karl stole was destroyed though it held some very vital secrets. This was the crime that was uncovered when his wife was found dead and extra years was added to his life sentence. If there was anyone that needed advanced assistance they would have make a deal with the devil as Karl has slowly grown mentality unstable while in prison and usually under heavy guard to make sure he didn't pull any tricks to escape the Dodge City Prison.

Rejected. The first zombie outbreaks on American Soil didn't occur until November of 2032, not to mention that the KGB was disbanded after the Soviet Union collapsed and that government facilities are not as easy to break into as they are in the movies.

After careful deliberation, Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, and Half-Giants are now playable races, all three of which are immune to the zombie virus. However, there are two differences (other than size) between the three groups. The first difference is that Half-Elves and Half-Orc are resentful towards Elves and Orcs while the Half-Giants are proud of their heritage. The second difference is geography: Half-Elves live in forests and Half-Orcs live in jungles and swamps while Half-Giants live in tundra, taiga, mountains, and volcanic regions.

The night is full of terrors and to protect the human race from what goes bump in the night, organizations that, while they officially do not exist, exist to combat them from the shadows while hiding the truth from a populace that, despite all the achievements and technological progress of the human race, has remains superstitious and ignorant. The Vampire Hunters Guild deals with Vampires and werewolves whose actions threaten both mortals and the masquerade. The Knights Templar battles Eldritch Horrors and Ancient Evils straight out of Lovecraft. The Order Of The Witch Hunter hunts Wizards, Witches, Warlocks, Necromancers, and Blood Mages.

During the reign of Ramses II, a Wizard named Taf-nekht conspired to overthrow the pharaoh, only to be slain along with his co-conspirators by twenty bodyguards, all of whom had fought in the war against the Hittites. For taking the initiative in dealing with the conspiracy, Ramses awarded them by creating the Soldiers Of Set, a secret society of elite warriors who would protect the pharaoh from magic users by any means necessary. However, as its ranks grew, the purpose of the Soldiers Of Set expanded to protecting the people of Egypt, allowing them to outlive Cleopatra. When the Muslims conquered Egypt, the Soldiers Of Set, now known as Brotherhood Of Saint Paul and under the leadership of the Vampire Amun-Ptah (the only Vampire to be a member of the Brotherhood Of Saint Paul), fled to Europe with the relics and knowledge of their order. After centuries of selflessly defending mortals from magic users, they were approached by Pope Gregory VIII who offered to fund and sanction their hunts in exchange for their loyalty. Antonio De Milan, the leader of the Brotherhood of Saint Paul and successor of Amun-Ptah, not only agreed to the terms, but changed the name of the organization to The Order Of The Witch Hunter.

Sanctioned and funded by the British Crown, the Knights Templar protect the human race from Eldritch Abominations and Ancient Evils. However, it was not always this way. The Knights Templar, founded to protect pilgrims from bandits that continued to plague the countryside after the First Crusade, once served as bankers and shock troops. Dwindling support for the Knights Templar and the accusations of a former member of the order led to the death of Grand Master Jacques de Molay and the disbanding of the Knights Templar, though a few still referred to themselves as Templars in private. During the reign of King George IV, several coal miners accidentally broke the seal on the doors of an ancient temple, unleashing a monster that could not be slain by cannon, musket, bayonet, or sword. Using an ancient ritual learned by deciphering a scroll retrieved from Antioch by the Knights Templar, a local scholar managed to seal the monster back in its prison, though he could not save any of the witnesses. King George IV, not wanting a repeat of the incident, secretly reformed the Knights Templar, with the scholar as its first Grandmaster. During the 1920s, the Knights Templar began recruiting Demigods into its ranks to replace the members that had died fighting in the trenches (unlike its medieval predecessors, the modern Knights Templar are not exempt from such laws, hence why its ranks were depleted during World War One), causing its ranks to swell to twice its prewar size. During World War Two, the Knights Templar were deployed to Greece, Norway, and Manchuria to prevent the Axis from retrieving artifacts that could unleash an ancient evil or eldritch abomination. During the Vietnam War, the Knights Templar opened its doors to Witches and Wizards, adding their discoveries to its knowledge of the occult. Prior to the truth about zombies becoming public knowledge, the Knights Templar were assigned to deal with small scale outbreaks in Scotland and Northern Ireland due to the need to eliminate such a threat without causing a panic.
