Chapter 1: Temple of the Broken Dead
THE WORLD
The year is 675 AF (After Faithwar). After the Faithwar (a massive religious war that crippled the entire planet) the world of Kotaria started to collapse. Even after 675 years, it was still damaged. In the depths of Crystalwood, the kingdom of Sithe struggled to rebuild. Eventually, king Tornin I managed to rebuild a large potion of the kindom of Jalor in the middle of Crystalwood, and even a bit outside of it. However, times changed to the worst when the female necromancer Shailla took control of The Temple, and repeatedly sent undead raids after The Jalorian fortress, capturing many small towns. Until further notice, Shailla has not been stopped, and her power will not atop growing. On the outskirts of Crystalwood lies the Infested Forest, the darkest part of the world that no one dares get anywhere near. The forest is full of the most diabolically dangerous creatures possible, but it is rumored that an ancient race lives deep in the forest...
YOUR START
The players will start of in the depths of Crystalwood, in the kingdom of Jalor. They will start in the tavern, where the barman will be, telling them what they need to do. Luckily, not many hostile creatures lurk in the forest, so the only real enemy they will encounter are bandits. Only a few days travel off is The Temple, so the adventurers should get there pretty quickly.
YOUR ROLE
You are one of a party of hopefully six adventurers, and you will be called by the barman to go and slay the Dracomaniac. Your first stop should be at the Temple, where the barman sensed the first signals from Kolonin. Hopefully, you will be able to get to Kolonin alive, tor the Temple is a dangerous place that few have escaped from alive, and even fewer dared get anywhere near it...
NUMBER OF PLAYERS
There are allowed to be eight players. Why eight? Because if it is anymore than that, I will probably have trouble doing your turns. So no more than eight. However, if I can't find enough players, we might have less than eight.
NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY
Don't split the party. Ever. Keep the party together, watch each other's backs, and whatever you do, DON'T SPLIT UP. I don't think there's a single movie out there where people split up and they came out alive.
And if there is such a movie, then that movie sucked.
CHARACTER CREATION
To customize your character, just fill in the form below. (Copy and paste it if necessary).
Please remember to fill out all fields required except the ones that are labeled optional. You can still fill those ones out, but you don't have to.
PROFESSIONS
In this roleplay, you will get to pick a profession. Your profession will let me decide what things you can do (for example, if you do a profession like mage, I will let you do things like throw fire.) However, please be rational with what profession you pick. I.E. you can't say something like 'pirate'. If I don't like what profession you picked, I will say no and you will be required to pick a different one.
Here is the list of professions I'm willing to have (if you think of a different one you want to be, just PM me about it):
Please try to pick a profession that would make it a lot easier for your team to survive. For example, let's say that the team so far has a guard, a beserker, a ranger, and a mage. It would be recommended to pick a healing profession, like cleric or battle monk. Also, all professions have magic to an extent. This magic is based off their profession. For example, guards have the ability 'defend' which makes a temporary shield that blocks enemies from the other party members, but as all spells have their limits, this shield only lasts a few seconds.
SKILLS
At the end of every chapter (there will be five chapters in total) I will 'level up' each character. I will give each character a new skill depending on what there profession is. For example, rogues will start off with the skill you can use known as 'sneak,' which will allow you to hide and avoid enemies attacking you. When that chapter is over, I will grant you a new skill, such as, if you're a rogue, 'backstab,' which allows you to sneak up behind an enemy and instantly kill him (or her).
BE AWARE OF STEREOTYPES
Don't stereotype your character. Please. You can follow stereotypes a little, but not to much. For example, you don't have to follow the stereotype that fighters are stupid. In fact, I encourage you to disobey these stereotypes. Say your fighter is intelligent or your mage is dumb. But, if you're particularly uncreative, you can follow stereotypes.
PLAYERS
RULES IN GENERAL
The three heroes sit at the old, worn out tavern table. It had been an hour since they had gathered; they were still waiting for the person who had called them.
After a few hours of sitting, playing cards and drinking booze, a short, stout man walked to the table, and sat down. Tarr- one of the adventurers- smiled. He was hoping this wasn't some sick prank. "What is our quest?" asked Tarr, the party ranger.
"This is no quest you've ever gone on before," the stout man replied. "Today, it's going to be something different than the usual job you've done."
"And this would be?" Tarr scoffed, intrigued at their upcoming quest.
"A quest to save the world." A small smile was fixed on the barman's lips, as he saw the reaction he had been anticipating.
An short silence covered the table. At last Shiella - the party's beautiful thief-voiced her confusion. When she was done, the short man gulped.
"This is something larger than anything I've ever seen before," he said. "A dark power is rising from the Temple. Something that only matches the strength of an angry god..."
"You don't mean-"
"Yes," the short man interrupted. Everyone knew of the legend of The Great Dracomaniac - Kolonin, though none had ever considered it was real.
"Kolonin is a legend," Korr, a burly man whose drink had not been touched, stated.
The stout man rubbed his eyes. "One would think you lot, of all people, would know better than to just 'assume' that something's a legend. Kolonin is real. And he has come to destroy us all." How the barman had come to know this much, the adventurers did not know - but the very idea of Kolonin existing was a disturbing proposal, let alone that they would be able to take him out.
Finally, Korr showed what they were all thinking. He burst out of his chair and banged his fist on the table-a clear sign that he didn't want to do this. The barman looked toward Tarr, and then towards Shiella, for some form of showing that at least they were willing to help him. With a sad look on their faces, Shiella and Tarr shook there heads.
"Sorry," said Tarr.
"We just can't do this," Shiella noted.
With a sigh, the three heroes left the tavern, thusforth dooming the world to it's fate.

-Fighter (melee all rounder)
-Rogue (this skilled profession deals with three things: speed, stealth, and money)
-Ranger (powerful bowman skills)
-Gunman (although more powerful than the ranger in terms of damage, Rangers can do things that Gunmen can't do, so you may still want to pick Ranger...)
-Beserker (crazy psychopath. High speed and strength, but very dangerous to be around)
-Cleric (or healer)
-Paladin (the melee cleric)
-Battle Mage (the melee mage)
-Guard (high health but low strength. Very good for protecting allies)
-Sniper (high range and damage with a bow or gun)
