'Your Prohpets will betray you
Kingdoms shall fall by my command
You may think your warriors can stave off my hoards of the damned
But i tell you.
Chaos is coming
Bloodlands shall return'
Shadura - Lord of the BloodLands
[Wordwall ahead]
The continent of Auera, home to dozens of kingdoms, empires and nations, war is a rare thing since the joining of the Tri-Pact, 3 of the most powerful nations combined political and military efforts into maintain order on the mainland. Since small rebel nations started to pose a threat. These nations are as follows.
Kingdom of Tabarus: The largest nation in terms of population, it lies on a large northerly headland with extreme mountain ranges and snow peaks to the north, transitioning down to low lying plains and forests in the central and easterly provinces, westerly to southerly provinces are occupied by light swampland and a few rolling hills with flowing rivers out to the Bay Of Tabarus which opens up into the Adiaran Sea. South of its borders area few minor nations, independent but under the sphere of influence.
Stauros Empire: Not connected to any of the other Tri-Pact nations but is situated partially on a large desert and bordering plains. The centre of the empire is a large river that runs the course of a thin land bridge which splits the nation into 2, a large bridge effort is being constructed as part of linking trade routes rather than using boats. This nation possesses the largest area of land from the Tri-Pact nations and has the 2nd most powerful army. Other nations stick close to its borders because of the protection it offers from rouge nations.
Kingdom of Inssbruk: Located somewhere in the middle close to Tabarus, its army is one of the most powerful in the known world. Mainly because of the rich sources of iron in a small peak range running the spine of the country, Inssbruk also possesses the largest port from the Tri-Pact and has trade running off all over the eastern hemisphere. Terrain is hilly with very few lakes or rivers, it relies on natural springs for freshwater to supply towns and villages. Thats why the large cities are located close to the sea.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, all is not well at this current time. Local prophets and leaders of faith have been predicting a cataclysmic event in the coming years, some dismiss this as scaremongering and total nonsense. Others take it seriously and have been building supplies and stock. Many of these prophets have been executed for causing national panics and riots, leading to breaches in national and indeed international security.
As of lately many small religious groups have been praying to strange carvings and digging up ancient tombs, these groups are declared heretics and are put to death, but still the groups are cropping up. And so the Tri-Pact nations discussed a course of action. They chose a select few of their finest Warriors, Archers, generals, navigators you name it and formed a group known as the 'Defenders of the Divine'. The divine being the mostly worshipped god in the world at the time. They would be sent out to various places, gather intelligence and kill any Heretics caught to be generating fear.
You were one of these people. But on your latest mission you entered a strange tomb in pursuit of an old priest who had foolishly decided to spread the word of something or someone called 'Shadura'. You became entrapped in the tomb after the entrance collapsed. Inside you found a strange small rock with a strange symbol carved into it. After picking it up you felt sick and weak, eventually passing out from extreme pain. You awake later to find yourself in an unknown town with only this rock as your item, your weapons, armour and belongings are nowhere to be seen and worse still, you seem to keep having visions of burning cities, people fleeing and strange creatures devouring flesh.
Whatever happened you must find out what happened in the tomb, and find out quick.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right, now that the background is over lets go over some aspects.
This is an ISRP, im only accepting one person.
This is also not 'First come First served' I shall select one person that i deem the most fit for this. Im not being elitist, i just want someone who knows what they are doing.
This works much like a text based game, you tell me what you want to do and ill tell you the outcome, ill also fill you in on surroundings, goings on and general gameplay aspects as well as your stats, items and skills.
Ill fill you in more once i have selected somebody from the people who have posted. Ill pick someone soon. Fire away.

So a thread called 'Golden Oak Highschool' gets more replies than this.
My god. |

Damn, damn, damn.
This seems really interest and I'd like to read the entire thing rather then just skim over it and join but I've got to go in a few minutes for a friend's party. I may be able to get on later tonight over at his house and actually read the entire thing tonight but I'm not a hundred percent sure and by then someone would probably take up the position.

Nam.e: Brutus DeMarco
Ag.e: 26
Birthplace: Stauros
Class: Bruiser
Perk 1: Dwarven Might
Perk 2: [Haven't fully decided >:(]
Physical appearance: Brutus is well.. A brute. Well over six feet possibly even seven, and shoulders as wide as a strongbow. Brutus, born in the desert, has a darker tan, but his parents being from Tabarus, hailing from the snowy mountains. This is why he, while tan, isn't to the extreme of most desert folk. Brutus has a beefy jaw and thick bushy eyebrows. Dark stubble, on the verge of becoming a black beard compliments his face. Brutus had stone grey eyes and unkept deep black hair, that ends at his lower neck. These are the main features of DeMarco, besides minor facts like his yellowish teeth that are slightly crooked and his big beefy hands full of callous.
Brutus is dressed in simple rags, a result of what happened. He is at the moment, sooty and grimy, and his hair worse than usual.
Biography: Brutus, born to a merchant family, hailing from the northern mountains was constantly traveling. Brutus, helped out alot with carrying boxes and supplies when at a stop to sell, because even as a child, he was bigger than other kids. With nothing much for him to do with his time, he did alot of fitness esque things to drain up his vast amount of the energy a healthy young person should have.
When Brutus was Eleven, his family settled down in a small ranch building near the more northern part of Stauros as his parents were getting old, and by than had quite a large amount of money to their name. Brutus wasn't the most social person, nor very bright, as the majority of his learning came from his father, mainly on a need to know basis. This caused Brutus to have difficulties in learning and meeting people for the first year or so, before he got the hang of 'normal' life. Brutus, while not very brawny at that age because of genes and lack of masculine hormones, was still very strong for his age. Brutus relieved his anger by lifting heavy things, usually caused by his lacking social abilities, or with academics.
As Brutus ag.ed, he grew stronger and bigger, eventually getting into helping with construction because of his large amount of strength for a teen. Brutus loved to push his limits, and just be strong, so it was something he really tried to maintain. Somewhere between sixteen and eighteen, Brutus reached a point where he couldn't stand the boring humdrum life on the ranch. Hastily making the decision to become a soldier, he was off to become a warrior. He excelled in bigger and heavy weapons, and was also quite skill at using his fists. Brutus served as a soldier, constantly training himself, to become bigger and stronger.
Brutus lumbering size and mass strength earned him a spot as one of the Defenders of the Divine, along with his unruly combat prowess. He did his duty, up to that faithful day. This brings us to present time. |

(Its the Brawler class by the way, and you may want to pick a 2nd perk before the first battle)
You awake on the side of a dusty street, your vision focuses around you to tan coloured buildings and wooden stalls selling all kinds of wares. Food, weapons, clothing...everything. Wherever you were it wasn't desolate. You look down to see your hands and body are all cut and bloody and everything missing, the only thing you notice is the strange rock with symbol adorning the center. The symbol itself is a swirl with a horizontal line coming from the middle to the right edge. The same symbol you saw in the tomb however long ago it was.
Anyway you notice some small gold pieces thrown at your side as well as an old piece of meat that somebody obviously didn't want.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information.
Surroundings: Dusty marketplace, tan coloured buildings and wooden stalls. Lots of roaming people.
Items: 5 Gold pieces, rotting meat.

Your first move? |

I pulled myself to my feet, trying to see if everything was functioning how it was supposed to. I hid my pain and weakness, incase anyone thought, 'Hey, I'll go beat up that injured man.' or something of the sort.
[I will try to :>
Hard choice, good traveler, or true Brawler
And honestly, no clue why I came up with Bruiser. :L] |

[Eh the two are relatable. And both perks come in handy, when travelling the weather and environment can cause quite a bit of fatigue when travelling between places. On the otherhand the use of a 'kill everything' mechanic can get you out of a sticky situation)
You stumble to your feet and look around, just more stalls. To your right seemed to be some sort of temple, and left was just a road with a sharp turning. People seemed to ignore you, as if this was a common sight.

I swiped up the gold pieces, and if the meat was in good enough condition to be eaten, took that too.
The temple seemed to be the best area to head. Priests are usually kinder than average folk, besides, the rock has to have something to do with those prophets, so this gotta start here. |

Taking the gold and the meat you set off down the road towards the temple where it seemed a large crowd was gathering, growing closer it wasn't a crowd, but a mob, throwing stones and anything they could chuck into the temple gates which suddenly slammed shut. Brushing through the mob you here shouts of 'HERETICS' and 'DEMON WORSHIPPERS'. It seemed these were the type of people you previously sought out. The gates had closed though but it didn't stop the crowd shaking them violently.

You double back and head towards the stalls, shoving people out of your way through the crowd. However the mob has no signs of calming down anytime soon, people shove against the gates trying to gain entry.
In the marketplace there are many stalls, even next to your there are 5 various stalls selling items.
A clothing stall
A Food stall
A Sword stall
A Ranged Weapon stall
and A Alchemist stall.

I need something to wear, so I checked there first. Than the Alchemist shop once I finished.
My hopes were either to get something to wear, or some fancy smancy potion that would help me get over this nausea. |
