This thread is a fantasy-based RP, set in a magical world called Iomar. I’ll be playing the role of the narrator, along with a lot of different characters who the rest of the writers in the thread are destined to meet along the way. So far, one role is taken (by BriefcaseRonin), but I’m looking for a few more players to come round out the thread. If you’d like to join, please drop me a PM and introduce yourself before posting. I’m looking in particular for people who can post longer threads and are interested in developing a bit about their characters as well. And there’ll be plenty of sex along the way… never fear! But there’s a story that goes along with it too; one that’ll be unraveled as the thread moves along.
In your first post, please give a little capsule description of your character, including appearance, skills, personality, history, and goals. It doesn’t have to be long, but it should be enough to give the rest of us (particularly me) an idea of who your character is. The world of Iomar is a typical fantasy world, with humans, elves, dwarves, mysterious spirits, monsters, and other exotic fare. Magic is fairly common, so you can play a wizard or a priestess or a witch or something like that if you want. I only ask that you don’t make a character who’s TOO powerful. Fate has a way of dealing harshly with those who would seek to become gods before their time…
As for the world of Iomar itself, I’ll let the details out as we progress. We’ll be starting small, limiting the story to a single city at first so we won’t have to worry about world-spanning details at first. You can feel free to add details here and there as well, as long as they fit in with the themes. The story begins in the port-city of Vesten, a fairly typical fantasy city, bustling with business and excitement and intrigue. In fact, these are dark days for Vesten, for a strange disease has come to town after a mysterious ship came to port. The ship, a sailing vessel called the Allymantha, had no crew on board, no cargo below. The next day, the plague began, and those who caught it died quickly to a terrible black rash that stank of rotten flowers. The sickness spread quickly through the waterfront, but the city watch was able to contain the infection by closing the walls and sealing the inner gates. Unfortunately, the merchant’s district is now cut off from the rest of the city, and as the days go by, people are growing desperate to escape the isolated district. Rival thieves’ guilds, Vesten’s Vultures and the Blue Rippers, have started an all out war for control of the merchant’s district, and the commonfolk caught between do their best to survive, hoping that the city’s healers find a cure for the illness before the thieves do too much more damage to an already beleaguered city.
As we begin, your characters are trapped in Vesten’s merchant’s district. Who you are, what you’re trying to accomplish in these dark times, and who you’ll make allegiances with is up to you…
