Default Survival in Aeolith: Sign Up

Fantasy world, blah, blah, blah.

Evil overlord is trying to conquer and/or destroy the world. So a group of heroes must arise and defeat him.

They did. They lost. Evil overlord obtained his power and conquered the world, and in the process, destroyed it.

For the next few years the Overlord crushed rebellions and established his kingdom.

A few years after that, our RP starts.


---


As the quick summary said, this RP takes place after an evil Overlord succeeded in taking over the world. It's a post-apocalypse fantasy world. Most of the land was scarred and ruined during the wars after the Overlord got his power. The world is mostly in chaos, since the Overlord's minions are allowed to do as they please as long as they do not challenge the Overlord, which they can't. Very few forests remain, due to wars, as fuel and destroyed obstacles.

Overlord gained his power 30 years before the RP starts, and established his empire 25 years before.

Locations:
Rough map of the world

1) Overlord's Land - This is the personal continent of the Overlord. It's borders are heavily guarded, outsiders only come in as slaves to never return, and outside Overlord minions only go as far as the ports. So, it is unknown exactly what has become of the land, or what goes on inside of it.

2) Otherin - Previously the human's land, controlled by four Kingdoms. Now it's been torn apart. It consists of twenty unstable city-states, controlled by Obelisks. The humans inside are slaves to the Overlord's minions, but luckily the Obelisks are strict about rules and laws, so the minions cannot do as they please. At least, not were they can be seen.

3) Jade - Formerly the free-lands, with no overbearing government. Mostly populated by nomadic tribes of the Lycanthropes. Used to be filled with great plains and forests, but now are a barren wasteland. The previously free Lycanthropes are now forced to work on plantations, fertile land created by High Elves. Run by Obelisks.

4) Pu'the'li - Used to be an area of pure forests with ancient trees. Now it's burnt down graveyards. No signs of life are left anywhere in it.

5) Kalimdor - Mountain islands. The cliffs belonged to Harpies, and the caves belonged to The Blind Ones. Now all of the Harpies have been sent to the Overlord's Land, and The Blind One's have been exterminated. Various races are used as slaves to dig into the caves to precious natural resources that Kalimdor is rich in.

6) Gimrin - The dwarven frozen lands. The entire continent is one large city/forge, ruled by the Dwarf king. The resources from Kalimdor are taken here to supply the Overlord.

7) Unnamed Islands - Previously a continent, but this is where The Overlord obtained his power. In doing so, the entire continent was destroyed, and it created thousand of islands, mostly jungles. The Overlord's Troll minions were given the islands, who are slowly splitting off into tribes, each with their own island. So far they control half of them. Progress is slow since the Overlord's power corrupted the islands, twisting the continents former inhabitants, who are violent and wild.


Races: (Pictures will be provided, if underlined, it's a link to picture)

Humans - Blah for attributes, you know them. They tried to stop the Overlord by uniting many of the races, as the Overlord did with his power, but failed and lost. Now they are surfs, mostly on Otherin.

Elves - There used to by many types, but now most are extinct from the wars. Only the High Elves remain, who are small and meek, but magically empowered. The Overlord ended up killing most of them as he burned through Pu'the'li, but he made sure to spare some High Elves so they could magically restore Jade to feed his kingdom. Note that there may be survivors from the other types of elves.

Obelisk - Magical creatures living in stone statues. They float around with magic, and are extremely powerful. They are also obsessed with rules and regulations, and very strict about them. The Overlord created them to rule his more important lands.

Dwarves
- Small, sturdy, hairy people. They used to be allies with the humans, but when the Overlord came into power, they quickly sided with him. As long as they helped the Overlord with their forges, he would not destroy them. Plus, since he provided them with the resources from Kalimdor they have desired for centuries, they were happy to work for him.

Lycanthropes: They have three forms. Human form, where they are normal humans, and usually smaller then their hybrid form. Hybrid forms, their main forms, which are humanoid with animal aspects , furry and such. And their animal form, which is a normal animal.

Werecats - Tigers, lions, jaguars, cheetah, panthers, and lynx. Tigers are the strongest, jaguars are the best trackers (Scent), cheetah are the fastest, panthers are the wisest, lynx hear the best, and lions are the average. On Jade they lived with their own kind in nomadic tribes on the plains, with an uneasy alliance. When the Overlord gained his power and attacked, the Lions brought them all together to fight off the Overlord. They lost.


Werewolves - Strongest, physically, of the lycanthropes. They lived in clans in the forests od Jade. Unlike the werecats, they often intermingled, so previous differences have been mixed together from constant interbreeding. Like the werecats, the werewolves united to stop the Overlord, but they did not ally with the werecats. Werewolves and werecats never got along.


Wererats - Natural assassins and thieves. While small and weak, they are quick and almost impossible to detect. When the Overlord gained his power, they instantly allied with him, and worked as his assassins and spies.

Harpies - Feathered humanoids with wings sprouting from their shoulder blades. Not much is known about them, since they lived in the mountain islands, which are hard to gain access to. After the Overlord took over, they were all taken to the Overlord's Land, so no one has seen one since.

The Blind Ones - Even less is known about them. It was rumored they were either snakes or bat-like creatures, but now they are all gone.

Orc - Large, stupid humans with green skin. They were the Overlord's pawns and main minions. They now work under the Obelisk, simply to remind all of the other races that the Overlord is their ruler.

Trolls - Long limbed blue humanoids. They lived on the continent before the Unnamed Islands, as shaman. After the Overlord gained his power there, he fulfilled their prophecies and became their god.

Gnomes - Small little inventors. They live in the Gimrin with Dwarves, and help them with their forges and technology as the thinkers. Unlike the Dwarves, they aren't greedy, so they were against supporting the Overlord. But with no where else to go, they stayed with the dwarves.

Other races - If you can think of something interesting, suggest it. I like having as many races as possible.


Story/Characters/World:


PCs can be anything except Obelisks and The Blind Ones. At the moment, Overlord-aligned characters are allowed.

The 'story' is just to survive in this new world, at the moment. Preferably in an interesting way, not just as a slave with no chance of freedom or a generic Orc. I'll leave it up to you to come up with interesting ideas, that perhaps include other players.

While the overall concept will not change drastically (Things included in the original posting of this), many ascepts of this world are still open. So if you have any ideas for improvements, suggest them.

There are two forms of magic. First is using your own magic to create spells, which requires only movements to control your magic aura. The other form is in spell books and scrolls, which are just premade spells. Books draw on the users magic, while scrolls are one time precharged shots.
