((Since That which Sleeps is slowly tuckering along with no demo ever in sight, i decided to make a forum game about it...because why not?))

That which Sleeps


You are one of the Old Ones. Beings of great power locked away across the world to spare it from your terrors.

Through fate, luck or sheer determination you are waking from your slumber once more to terrorize those who would defy you.

But first of all who are you?


Belial, The Whisperer
Belial is an Ancient. Festering on Greed, Jealousy and Suspicion, he turns men against men.

Powers

Belials Powers largely are centered around predicting the future and changing fate and other beings to his whims.

Advantages:

- See whats happening before its happening
- Bonus to Espionage and Intrigue
- Change Fate

Sisyphus, Man's Lament

A Noble hero sacrificing himself, but becoming twisted by his own ideals. Sisyphus has become the mirror image to the Chosen One. The Eternally Broken Man trying to right his wrongs and create the perfect world he always wanted to create.

Powers
Sisyphus power is closely tied to that of the Chosen One. As the chosen one grows in strength so does Sysiphus. Most of his direct powers are centered around supporting his agents and strengthening them.

Advantages:

- Low Profile
- Unique Interactions with the Chosen One
- Twisting those who are sent to destroy you to your designs
- appearing as the good guy

Karth, the Scarred

Last of the Primals, Karth is the incarnation of War. Wounded by the Elves he nonetheless survives and from his blood the Orcs were born.
Karth seeks no more than eternal war, a world torn asunder by the fires of war.

Powers
Karths Powers center around gathering the beasts of the wild, the primitive and the warlike to his banner to bring everything crashing down in one bloody deluge of death and destruction

Advantages:
- WAAAAAAAGH

Azlan, the Dreaming God

Your Name has been forgotten and your very awakening will spell the end to all of the world, you are the original Dreamer. As you awaken reality and dreams will shift closer and closer together

Powers

Ceneterd around Dreams and the changing of reality.

Advantages
- Most effective when keeping a low profile
- if you want to fuck with peoples minds
- Ia Ia Cthulhu Fhtaghn

Limos, the Shadow of Creation

The great creator, enslaved, imprisoned, driven insane. Kept at bay by ancients, primals and more he is now finally in a position to free himself and end this wretched creation that tortures him like a glowing iron spike.

Powers

Bending the Forces of the Dead to your will and sappign the will from those who would oppose you, that is the essence of your power.

Advantages
- Undead Hordes
- End Creation Once and for All

It seems we have a tie between Sisyphus and Azlan, with close follow ups of Limos and Karth.
