I have an idea for a thread that I'd like to DM. I've been playing around with this idea for a while.

Okay, a little about Illusion Vale.

Illusion Vale is the place between fantasy and reality. It's the veil between the unreal and the real. This is where dreams and nightmares cross over to pleasure or frighten humans in the 'Real World'.

You can find many strange beings in Illusion Vale. There is an endless land full of the fantastical and the dangerous. There are many borders and small kingdoms in Illusion Vale, each belonging to a different species. There are mountians in which trolls and giants roam, forests where the wood elves play, grasslands for the centaurs, deep mines for the dwarves. Any and all species, from the mundane to the fantastic, co-exist in this world. In fact the only species that does not appear in Illusion Vale are humans. They have their own dimension that they long ago chased all other beasts from. The 'Real World'.

Though not all of the species get along, there is a fragile truce between all. That truce is held by a single being. The Spirit of Vale.
This being represents all life in Illusion Vale. The Spirit long ago put into a effect, using her considerable powers to make it come to pass, a truce between the more peaceful and the more violent races that exist in her lovely Vale.

After thousands of years, however, The Spirit's calming voice is getting weaker and weaker. More and more beasts are breaking from their sacred bonds and the truce is wavering.

Desparate to see peace triumphant in her precious lands, the Spirit turned to the only power she thought could save her people from themselves. She turned to the Real World and called to the original Guardians of Illusion Vale. Humans.

Due to the truce agreements made long ago, however, no human can exist for long in Illusion Vale before disintergrating. So she is forced to change whoever answers the call into a creature from Illusion Vale. Her weakened powers however serve to both help and hinder her. She cannot control who answers the call or what they turn into, and so she is opening the gate to Illusion Vale to both good and evil. All she can do is send a sprite to each 'transported Soul' and watch as her precious Vale is either saved or destroyed.


Okay, so you know the basic premise of the story. More will be revealed as time passes, including heroic deeds and nefarious plots :D
You are a normal human being, one day you are transported to a fantastical world called Illusion Vale. There a Sprite meets you and tells you that the fate of the Vale is in your hands. Where you go from there, is up to you.
You can be either good, evil or even neutral, or all three :D (if that's possible)

Races available:
This is pretty much up to your imagination, if you can think of a being that doesn't belong in the "Real World", then I'll probably let you play it. Some examples could be:

Elves
Dwarves
Centaurs
Vampires
Werewolves

These are just basic suggestions and not limited to them.

I myself will be playing most of the NPC's that interact with your character including your guide Sprites.

I just want to see if anybody would be interested in this and I'll create a Story Thread when there's enough interest. You can either PM me or post in this thread with questions, character bios.. etc.

Name: Eeth Odok
Race: Wood elf

Played by EHawkins
Name: Becca Harmon
Human Occupation: Burned-out paramedic
Race: Dryad
Height:5’9”
Physical Description:
Becca has a strong, athletic build, hazel eyes and dark blonde hair that she usually keeps up in a bun. She has a hard, burned-out look in her eye which hides her true compassionate nature at the moment. Her pretty face is currently haggard from double-shifts, sleepless nights, and the guilt she carries when she loses a patient.
Alignment: Good
Human History:
For several years, Becca was a New York paramedic. She and her crew worked out of St. Francis hospital in Hell’s Kitchen. With recent cut-backs, paramedics became short-staffed, and Becca and her crew tried to carry the load. It was hard at first, but she felt as a good paramedic, she was duty-bound to do what she could. Then the long hours started to take their toll, and worse, she started to have a bad streak of losing patients to everything from massive heart attacks to drug ODs . Though she was a good paramedic, Becca started blaming herself and her guilt only compounded her exhaustion.
When Becca lost her last patient, a victim of a terrible car accident, she lost faith in herself as a person who could save lives. That was when the little fairy had come to take her to a strange place, and Becca was sure that she’d finally snapped under the weight she’d been carrying…

The leader of the group looked at Lance and demanded what he had stolen a second before he shot Lance's backer in the head. Lance knew that he would be the next one to die and ran.
He thought that he had escaped from his pursuers but they found him in a parking garage. He thought that he was about to die as he did not have a weapon of his own on him (he did not believe in them) but before they reached him he felt himself being sucked away with a scream.

Played by Milkmandan007
Name:Asterion
Race: Minotaur
Gender: Male
Height: 6’10” (Not counting horns)
Weight: 325 lbs.
Alignment: Evil
Asterion towers above most with his sinewy and muscular frame. Beyond his soaring figure, the twin twisted and deformed horns seem to rise from his jet black hair like two cruel shadowed spirals. His dark, almost ashen-colored eyes seem to never blink as he roams the land.
Asterion once held a life on earth, even if it was a hellish one. Prior to the shift into the Vale, he was known as Todd Jones. Todd had been abandoned at an early age and left to fend for himself on the streets of Denver. To survive, he detached himself from reality, placing a mental barrier between his conscious mind and the demonic being he became in order to survive.
His first murder was at age 14. He killed another street dweller over a pair of wool socks. It was quick and relatively bloodless; an ideal first step in becoming the twisted fiend the media would brand him.
Before the police finally caught up to him 15 years later, he had killed more than 30 people. The police would eventually only tie him to five. Some he had killed to survive and others just for the temporary rush of adrenaline. Each killing put more distance between the kind soul that once existed and the fiend now controlling Todd Jones’ body.
Even prison could not stop the bloodletting. Two guards and eight other inmates fell to his hand before the state could step in and fulfill his death sentence. When the day came, the media flocked to witness the spectacle. Todd was lead into the small room where the lethal injection would be administered. The guards strapped Jones’ small frame to the gurney and began to sanitize the needles that would take the lethal chemicals into his veins. The families of his victims, a few legislators, and two prison guards watched through the reinforced Plexiglas window, hoping to feel some kind of closure as this beast was put to rest.
A collective gasp came sharply from the gallery. The guards wheeled, reaching for their stun guns almost instinctively, before stopping in mid-stride. The thick leather straps lay limp across the table. Jones had vanished.



Played by UltimateNerdSlut
Name: Faigel (Fay) Blake
Gender: female
Race: Raven humanoid
Height: 5' 6"
Physical Description: Is a slender creature with black wings on her back. Her arms have black feathers that run from her pinky fingers up to her elbow, very sparse feathering there, mostly they are just for looks. Her feet are now that of a bird, black talons and black scales up until her knees where is changes to feathers and eventually her humanoid body. Her hair is black now and her eyes as well, but when the sun hits her feathers and hair just right anyone can see a rainbow of feathers.
Allignment: Neutral Good
History:
Fay was an artist, she worked for years with oil paints, acrylics, watercolors, and just about any other media that seemed ever pausible. She knew that she was in love with the most wonderful man in the world and she was going to marry him someday. She owned tons of stray dogs and other stray animals. She used her art to pay for her large studio and the land around it. But one day the woman was working in her studio when her boyfriend Robert told her that he was leaving her. Fay demanded to know if he was cheating on her and it was quickly explained that she was the one that he was cheating on his fiance with.
Of course Fay was completely disturbed to find out her part in the whole thing and after throwing a bucket of red paint at him as he ran out the door, he was covered in the stuff, she covered her newly finished piece of artwork in blue paint. She slipped on a large glob of paint and found herself getting pulled in. She screamed but two seconds later she was pulled into the floor.



Played by Dracona (currently inactive)
Name: Janelle
Gender: female
Race: Mere-kind / Siren
Height: 5'7" tall when on land in humanoid form - over 6'5" long when in the water in mere form
Physical Description: In water her tail is covered in irridescent scales of blue and green, her flukes lightening to gold. Her skin is pearly white and her hair flows down to her waist in strands of blue and green. As she leaves the water her scales shift upward and merge to cover her body to form an aquamarine colored body suit, her flukes becoming a gold tinged skirt around her slender hips. Her hair lightens to golden blonde as it dries with only hints of shimery blue and green showing in bright sunlight. In whichever form she takes on her eyes always remain the dark blue-black of deep water.
Allignment Janelle is good, but she could easily be tricked and missled.
In the human world Janelle was once a hot ticket item on the music scene. Her first album went gold almost overight and sent her singing career skyrocketing. Unfortunately, Janelle fell prey to the 'glamorous' life and became just another drugged up, burned out singer on a path of self destruction. Her popularity waned and due to her harsh lifestyle she finally lost her beautiful voice.

Height: 18 hands
Physical Description: Inky black coat, mane and tail. Speaks with telepathy as he cannot vocalize anything other than horse speech.
Allignment: Haven't really decided, but I was considering neutral.
Human History:
James, or Jay, came from an average, boring, non-descript middle class home. His father was an accountant who put in long hours at work. His step mother did not mistreat him, but was often busy tending to her own two younger children and never quite understood James's imagination or personality. A dreamer and recluse by nature, James went Goth in high school, rebelling against everything and conforming to nothing, even though he never really took up a cause or ideology. He just knew that he wasn't well liked or popular among his peers. More than that was his constant belief that he just didn't fit in with -those people-.
The only place he did feel welcome and fit in was on the track team. James was a natural runner for both long distance and sprints. He was even offered a schollarship to a local college which he accepted, (with the insistance of his parents) even though he dreads the thought of four more years of school.
One night James lay down, thinking of far away places and fell asleep....and woke up in a very different place.

Played by Jedi_Khan
Name: John McCluskey - Elmhand
Age: 75
Gender: Male
Race: Ent
Alignment: Neutral
Description: (human) He’s an old man, with grey hair and a long beard. (Ent) 20 ft tall, basically a walking elm tree with a long beard of moss. Two trunks for legs, with five toes on each foot. If you measure from his feet to his head, he’s only 18 ft tall, with another two feet of tree rising up above his head. His arms are massive branches that have three fingers on them. His stride is several meters long.
He lives in the forests of California, several miles from the nearest town. The reason: he’s become a hermit. A few years ago, just after the elections that got Arnold put in the governor’s office, he decided he was fed up with the system, so he moved to the forests. There he lives in a little hovel, avoiding people. He only goes to the small town a few miles away once a year to get supplies; he hates being anyplace where more than five people live, and the town only has a population of a hundred. The people there know him, but they don’t know where exactly he lives, for he always takes a meandering route to his hovel, in order to confusion anybody following him. He cares little for what happens beyond the borders of his part of the forest. One day, as he was heading back from the town to his hovel, he tripped over a root and blacked out.

Physical Description : Light build, quite skinny, very fast and quick reflexes. He has dark brown short hair and dark grey eyes which no longer seem to hold any emotion. He is quite tanned and has an emotional wall built up around himself, which make him seem cold and unforgiving. He also has a scar across his face from a job that got up close and personal.

For seven-hundred and fifty years his family had been a proud group of Assassins, but when he was asked to assassinate the girl whom he had grown up with, he could not.

He had seen his own father killed in front of his eyes and now despair had seeped over him.

This sounds interesting. I wonder if my character from Dragons of Ragnos would work? I like him alot, and it would be quite easy to make some minor adjustments to him so that he fits in Illusion Vale. If he doesn't work, then I have to come up with something else and that might take some time. What do you think?
 
Polite:

Nice to see you interested. Think about a character and post the bio here (or pm me) and we'll see about getting you started :)

Blaster:
I'm not sure Cris would fit here. As he stands, he's too powerful. The idea here is that you don't know your strengths or weaknesses. You're still finding out what you are and what you're capable of. And if you're good or evil.

Lets see what you can come up with.


Also please note everybody thats interested. Though I can average being on here at least once per day, some days I'm really too busy to come on. So this thread may go in jumps and leaps, at times fast, at times slow. Bear with me :D
 
I can tone him down some, mostly by removing the armor and weapons he carries. I can also limit his magic use (if magic is allowed) or I can cut the magic altogether. I can set him up so that he doesn't know his strengths or weaknesses. I can set him like your story suggests, he has only just come into the world as he is, so he's learning. I like his character layout, so I would love to stick with him, but if he's too powerful, I can trim him. Just make some recommendations and I'll see what I can do.
 
Blaster:

I would personally like you to create another character, just to challenge you a bit more. But if you really want, post a bio and I'll see what (if anything) needs changing. Also note that you will not be the only dragon/whateverspecies. (You cannot be half human... otherwise you'd most probably die)

Oh and also another note... I'm a pretty hard DM. And sometimes... evil to boot. hehehe :devil:

I'm also working on a map, so hopefully it'll be up here soon.

I'll see what I can do about a new character. I only know some of the basics of the creatures of fanatsy-land, mainly from reading LOTR and one or two other books. D&D isn't of much help to me because I'm not familiar with it nor do I have any of the books. So, you'll probably have to help me out a bit with creating a new character. I'll come up with a concept, you can help me fill in the blanks.

And, you didn't need to tell me that you are sometimes evil, because I got that impression from your avatar. ;)
 
Blaster:
You don't need to know much as I'm pretty much going to guide you on your abilities and stuff with my sprites. In fact you can be pretty much anything your mind can make up. Just as long as you're not human. You can be humanoid.

Blaster, I'm here to help. So don't worry.

And for everyone else as well... no advanced machinery. So such things as robots and hovercrafts don't exist in this world. They are a human creation.
 
This sounds like a really neat idea, Wolfsister :)

The first things that came to mind were Kitsune, female version of a Satyr or a Dryad.

I only have a vague idea of background for a character but whichever type sounds good to you, I'll run with it, (I can't decide :D).

It sounds like it'll be a lot of fun :)
 
Ehawkins:

You can pick either one, though a female elemental nymph sounds interesting and could be fun to play. Either way, post up a bio and we'll see about getting you started.

Satyrs may not be a good idea as they are essentially (in greek mythology) young humans. Or half human, depending on the depiction. And as you know, humans not allowed, half or otherwise.

I pick to be of elven kind. Now, what else do I need? Physical description? Class type? What else? How specific do I need to be when first creating my character?
 
Blaster:

Sounds good. What kind of elf? A good place to get some info is Wikipedia.com if you need any help.

Here's a rough bio format:

Name:
Gender:
Race: (type also if applicable)
Height:
Physical Description:
Allignment (if you know it before hand)

You can also do a brief history of your human character. To give me a rough idea of which direction your character will go in Illusion Vale.

I understand that you can't be too specific about your Illusion Vale character as we will explore that more in-depth as we go, but you can create a human character and be pretty specific about that.

Good point about the satyr, (didn't think of that!). I'll go with the earthy Dryad, then.

I have one additional question though. Is the 'Real World' that we're being pulled from a modern world or is it a more archaic/medieval one?

Ehawkins:

Kewl, I love the idea.

As for the human setting. I thought long and hard about this. I decided that it would be the modern world. (More adjustments for your characters)
More specifically... 2007. Anways, also with that, whatever you were in the Real World, whatever skills you had, you also have transferred to your Illusion Vale characters.

IE: if you were a tap dancer, you'd still be able to tap in Illusion Vale.

Please note: Very powerful humans (such as SAS or evil scientists), I'll need to put a strap on that cause then you'd be too powerful for Illusion Vale. So, please be reasonable. :D

Race: Dryad

Height:5’9”

Physical Description:
Becca has a strong, athletic build, hazel eyes and dark blonde hair that she usually keeps up in a bun.

For several years, Becca was a New York paramedic. She and her crew worked out of St. Francis hospital in Hell’s Kitchen. With recent cut-backs, paramedics became short-staffed, and Becca and her crew tried to carry the load. It was hard at first, but she felt as a good paramedic, she was duty-bound to do what she could. Then the long hours started to take their toll, and worse, she started to have a bad streak of losing patients to everything from massive heart attacks to drug ODs . Though she was a good paramedic, Becca started blaming herself and her guilt only compounded her exhaustion.

When Becca lost her last patient, a victim of a terrible car accident, she lost faith in herself as a person who could save lives. That was when the little fairy had come to take her to a strange place, and Becca was sure that she’d finally snapped under the weight she’d been carrying…
 
To blaster and Ehawkins:

I love your characters, they're exactly whats needed in Illusion Vale.

Now all I have to do is start the thread, which I may be able to do tomorrow, but I'm gonna be a bit busy for a few days, so bear with me please. Anyway...

The way you enter Illusion Vale is up to you. You can fall asleep and wake up there or something... The start posts of your characters can be either in the real world or your first experience of Illusion Vale.

I really want to start this thing brand new.

I'm real excited about this thread and I hope that you all have fun.
 
I am definitely taking a part in this thread and have thought of a pretty unique character for it.

Name: Largos Tanlin
Gender: Male
Race: Moon Elf
Height: 5' 7"
Physical Description: Is a physically handsome elf with waist length silver hair and the physical form of one. He has dark grey eyes which is unique for an elf. He has slightly white skin.
Allignment: Neutral Good

In the Real World Largos (real name Lance Wolf) was a master thief who usually robbed places that were thought impenetrable. Nobody could think of a reason how he got in there. One day after a job he went to his backer only to find several other people there. The leader of the group looked at Lance and demanded what he had stolen a second before he shot Lance's backer in the head. Lance knew that he would be the next one to die and ran.

He thought that he had escaped from his pursuers but they found him in a parking garage. He thought that he was about to die as he did not have a weapon of his own on him (he did not believe in them) but before they reached him he felt himself being sucked away with a scream.

Michael ran in the notorius street gang known as the Forsaken Saints, the street gang was a kind of "farm league" for the Sullivan Irish Mob. when he turned eighteen he joined the marine corps and when he finished his tour he hooked up with one of the many crews under the Sullivan banner, namely O'Flaherty familym which was run by his uncle Conor O'Flaherty. since that time he has made his living as muscle and doing mortality work for his uncle and his uncles boss, the infamous mob chief James Sullivan. Although he doesnt enjoy it, he sees no other way to make the kind of living he gets working for his uncle, and his uncle is the only family he has left.

hows that?

DUDE... you're so in!

Okay my dear victims... here it is.
Thanks be to my lovely Angelus, *kisses*

The Illusion Vale Map *applause*

I'll post a brief description hopefully tomorrow and then I'll get the thread started. :D
 
*kicks self* This sounds like an awesome thread and I'll be reading along. I'd post up with you guys/gals but I really don't think my life right now allows me to commit to a multi-player thread. I tend to spend a good deal of time playing a WoW and sometimes I put studying in for my upcoming finals, but if you can put up with a somewhat inconsistent posting schedule (at least one a day) then I guess I could hop in.
