The Void's Epic (OOC, Sign-ups, Open)

[Itailian Maifias]

The Void's Epic

Map

The Void's Epic is, in a nutshell, a character based roleplaying game (duh) based(originally) in the fictional world of Tath. The characters that you may play are known as Heroes, or warriors with skillsets that are encoded in their blood, skills that they are born with. Players can also play as one of the Gods in the very beginning and help them create the world of Tath as it becomes to be known.

If this introduction paragraph was horrible enough to drive you away, the door is behind you. For those that are interested in reading the full details and development behind this roleplay that has been in the making for around three months, continue on below brave writer



The Void
At this time, no one knows who or what exactly the Void is. All that is known is that in the beginning, there was the Higher Plane, populated by the Gods and then the Void, on the far reaches of existence. One day, the Void, from which Era had come from, spit out creatures of vile and destruction and they went after the creations and wonders of the gods, destroying all in their path. After many a mighty battle, worthy of eons of song and praise, the Gods banded together and they defeated the demons of the Void and with the power of Era, they sealed the Void and forever closed it, only usage being for the Gods to use it's power to fuel them.

The World of Tath- The Lower Plane

Tath is a unique world that may sound similar to another one that you may know of. Tath, like one we all so know, is covered somewhat and for the most part in water, that valuable resource. There are two major continents that dominate the majority of the planet, with an large ocean in the middle, separating the two continents, named Ferald and Keltgas respectively. Environmentally and landscape wise, the two continents are almost alike in the sense that both are for the most part largely forested or grasslands with the random lake and ponds spotted throughout. They also both have a desert, quite small as it's mostly just near the northern coast, that is on the northern most part of the continents.

The Higher Plane
There was once a common name for this world, however after the battle against the Void, it was lost along with all life on the Plane. At the height of it's glory, it was inhabited by many races, from the woodland creatures to other things that were beyond the comprehension of the Gods even. And yet, they were all wiped out by the demons and destruction of the Void. The earth and land grew back, but the life didn't.



The Gods of Tath

The Gods of Tath are an interesting bunch. They were the first beings, created by Era in the First Light. With the power that Era gave them, the power to harness the powers of the Void, they created the Higher Plane, the plane that the gods live on. However, after years of wastefulness, their power began to wane and they yearned for a new world, a world filled with life to worship them and look down on. And so, they gathered together for the first time in an age and using the last reserves of their power, created the Lower Plane, or the World of Tath as the common being knows it. Adding to the Lower Plane, each god created their own sentient being, these beings in turn would inhabit the land and fill it with life. In return for their creation, they would worship the gods, the worship that the gods reveled in.
In terms of power, each god has their strengths and weaknesses, with each god having power over a certain area of influence. Each god also has a symbol of power, unique to each god. It does not have a set shape or definition, for it is what it's owning god wishes it to be. Should a god's symbol of power be stolen, taken or captured in any way, said god would be severally diminished in power and if already weak, could be
"destroyed" all together.
On the subject of destruction of gods, a god can not truly die. Their power can wane, their form can fade, they can all but vanish from the earth, however they can not die. Not unless the very area of being, of creation that they see over all together vanishes.
Each god also has their own "realm" in which is their location of living. Some might have an extravagant castle, filled with light and joy. Others might have some foreboding dungeon or underground lair, filled with darkness and despair. Their realm and it's state is reflected from the god and their state. If they are in turmoil, so is their home. If they are weak, so is their home

Heroes of Tath

The Heroes of Tath are humans or members of one of the races created by the Gods that were endowed with certain powers by the Gods to help guard and protect the Lower Plane following the God's recovery and subsequent abandonment of the Lower Plane for the most part (This part isn't true until after our little war).
Each Hero trains and hones his powers in three areas, Magyk which was gifted to the races by Synthia and Nuru. Strength, which was gifted to the Heroes by Agni and Telros and then Skill, gifted to them by Nerikh. Each Hero has special powers, being able to survive longer years then their comrades. They aren't immortal like the Gods, but very few die of old age with most dying at the point of a sword.
The Heroes are overseen by a Chief, who is elected or chosen from amongst them. The Heroes meet annually at the Convention which is held at the Grove, the spot the Gods descended to in order to create the Lower Plane and the life the populates it. At this they are given orders for which they mostly work on completely for the entire year for travel is limited and the world of Tath is vast

Chief of Heroes: Vacant

Celyanir, Vampire(Xcenos)

Kingdoms of Tath

Won't be written till we develop some more story line wise. Mostly, it's just clans, small factions maybe a large collection of villages, but nothing more.

FYI: Humans will be created, but not by the Gods.

Application
Nation Name: Gibet (People's Republic of)
Character Name: Alexander Corvinus (Also called Harthe when referring to as a god. essentailly, first name is alias used when he walks amongst the mortals; if we go that route.)
Character Race(Gods Only at This Time):
God's Power of Influence(Ex. Fire, War, Law etc.): War
God's Typical Symbol of Power:
God's Realm Description: As stated in the Op, it changes based on the God, right? Turmoil=Turmoil and so on? Well, for Corvinus' case, his realm is currently in a state of war--sort of. In that, while he enjoys the finer things in life--such as birth, spring, and life itself--, he also relishes the flames of warfare and the battle-cries. His realm itself trully personifies warfare--dark and brutal. Flames are continuously fluttering about wildly against a blood-red sky. Visitors to this realm--at this points probably gods/godesses--would see but a largely-barren landscape; void of life. Save for a few scortched trees and the burning embers flying high into the bloody-sky, it is truely lifeless....... on the outside. Inside, the realm is a maze of caverns and the darkest of pits--personifying the true nature of man. A stark contrast to many other places........
Any other relevant info(bio's, list of arch rivals, friends, needed info):

Born in Antiquity........
Relatively few truelly know Corvinus or even really befriend him. Despite his outward appearance, he can prove to be a loyal friend and warrior to those whom he calls "friend".

Yeah ouch, sorry but that's the area my God is which I forgot to put up there as well as the list..

Apologies, is there another field you wish? You don't have to be so direct in the field name by the way.You also skipped his Symbol of Power. If you are confused as to what to put, read the description more in the OP. It can be anything from a glove to a set of armor, most will probably be weapons. Up to you

God's Realm Description: A bleak and unforgiving realm, few can enter the realm of Chol Grice without feeling the weight of death upon their shoulders.

In the center of the realm, attached to the side of a mountain, is the Crag, the bleak fortress of Chol Grice. It appears the black fortress was cut from the mountain itself, and from the outside, one can hear the screams and cries of torture, though whether this is an illusion or not is uncertain.
Any other relevant info: Chol Grice is, despite or because of his influence, a morbidly cheery person, friendly and polite to the point of oddity. He has a wicked temper though, lashing out at the strangest of times with no consideration for who he his yelling at or what the entire situation is about.

Cen, naturally approved. I'll let you have the Afterlife, with the extension that I trust you won't abuse that power.

ESC, not really what I'm looking for. going to have to reject it until I can see an improved application

Thanks. You can trust me. I was actually about to declare that if someone takes life or some similar influence, we could share the afterlife aspect.

More detail really. That and it looks like you aren't understanding parts of the application, namely Symbol of Power and Realm. SoP isn't a picture, it's a weapon, piece of armor, trinket, etc. Realm is where your God lives, not a world, just a small little place for them to inhabit.

Look at Cen's application, which is near perfect

Character Race(Gods Only at This Time): God
God's Power of Influence(Ex. Fire, War, Law etc.): The Dark, and Time.
God's Typical Symbol of Power:

God's Realm Description: After entering Xceno's realm, a person's vision is basically gone. Most of the realm is in darkness, or permanent darkness. The sky is filled with black clouds, and has a deathly feeling, and a feeling of lostment. Time and Space is distorted, especially Time. There are normal animals, however their face is replaced with a clock. They are all hostile, so a Pigeon can attack and kill you. In the middle is a mountain, and on the top of the mountain is a Mansion, painted in black. Inside the mansion, there are clocks everywhere, and dark lights. In the center of the mansion is where Xcenos resides. Inside the realm, your back is always tingling, and you could possibly die any second. However there is a hidden route where Xcenos friends can travel on, and that road is immune to the hostility of the animals.

Two things Ink, one Symbol of Power. Has to be a physical object, like a spear, staff, helmet, armor piece, trinket, crown, whatever.
Also, little worried about the Time thing. Can I see some RP examples?

God's Typical Symbol of Power: The Water Glyph.
God's Realm Description: Nuru's realm is a place of eternal peace and calm, where it is always twilight. The sky is clear and filled with small, fluffy clouds.

In the center, lies a tall mountain made of the whitest stone. Atop this mountain is a small shrine of fine gold fleecings and beautiful jade, a calm river sweeping around it and down the mountain.
