The Intro

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Come and listen, I have a story to tell. A story of an end, impending doom and of a silence that lasted eons.

Long, long time ago, there was a time that all the realms were stable and people from everywhere prospered, for they had an anchor to keep it that way, a light which radiates from the outer voids very core. A citadel. The Citadel.

And since it had such significance, alot of people lived around the Citadel, in fact, it was the capital of culture and sciences across all realms, with its mere existance being an architectural wonder of titanic proportions. All kinds of impossible technologies were possible only there, with its proximity to the light.

All kinds of different beings lived there, from small round elephant-esque critters to literal gods. They mostly co-existed in peace and harmony, and ones that couldn't, lived in separate parts of it.

But one day, light went awry, it turned from its pure white to a cacaphony of colors that hurt our eyes. We tried to contact them, but no one answered. Only screaming came from the other end.

Ones that went to check on them almost never returned, ones that did, weren't themselves anymore, and had to be put down. Not even the mighty armadas of Mir'cri-Tan and Roxobl that went to settle their claims there ever did return.

To this day, we don't know what happened, all we know is that it is dangerous. The light is still corrupted.

And as long as it is that way, the Multiverse shall slowly crumble, and all shall distort and twist, without an anchor. I hardly remember the times it wasn't. It was so long ago.

Who can save it? Not me. I am too old. But maybe someone? Just maybe, against all odds, save everyone from destruction?

Welcome, to The Spiral, a story driven RP-RTD game about a party of adventuring heroes saving the reality from collapsing, and facing many wonders and enemies along the way.

You can be whatever you wish. Something derived from your forum name and profile, a person from a species from a piece of media, something you came up on the fly, anything. Just don't make them OP.

The story will be pieced out by both a set sequence of events, and your luck and actions.

Your luck is determined by, yes you guessed it, a dice roll. Battles, voyages and other such active, moves are bound to this, while scouting, conversing, and other passive actions are not, and their return will be fit to the environment and the situation you are in.

There will be a way to respawn if one of you perishes in any way, won't say what as it will be a spoiler.

The dice is 20-sided. The values are...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1-4= Epic failure. You fail miserably.
5-8= Failure. You fail, but it could be worse.
9-12= Neutral. The result are mostly nothing.
13-16= Good. Your action has succeeded.
17-20= Awsome. Your action went better than expected.

The 5 result types also vary inside themselves. For example, a 12 is a better neutral than 9.

Know that once at least 5 players are in, the game will be full, and no longer allow more players in. Unless one quits, and we will need a replacement.

This is an RP game, so please play along in your actions, but simple commands are also fine.

Write up your characters, and join in the adventure!

(Is this good boss?)

Cool.

[Horizon]

(Is there an ETA on when we'll start?)

[Magmacube_tr]

(Is there an ETA on when we'll start?)

We need 5 players, there are currently 3. If you all wish to though, we can begin and ditch the original 5 people cap entirely.

Edit: Also I kinda realised that this game could also be hosted at the main section of this board. Whatever.

Spoiler: Char Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Naoki
Race: Human, probably. Definitely human shaped. For the most part.
Appearance: Shirtless, with black, knee-length shorts and black sneakers. His entire body is covered in stylized black bars and lines with an electric blue outline, which glow faintly. A large horn sticks up out of the nape of his neck. Yellow eyes and messy, short black hair complete the look of someone who might not be entirely human.
Personality: Confident, nearly arrogant, Naoki doesn't respect the weak. Highly independent, he has a firm belief that one should stand on their own and forge their own destiny, but understands the benefits of working in a group.
Equipment: Demon Magatama - A parasitic entity granting both boon and curse. It functions as weapon, armor, and spellbook. Being a parasite, it can act of its own accord, though Naoki can control his through his great willpower. Allowing it to run wild, however, can grant its host long-lasting boons - or crippling curses. Currently it doesn't do much of note.

((How's this look boss? Thinking the Magatama can roll a d20 to see what I get when it powers up, and every now and then get a new spell or something. Can happen whenever, kinda just depends on how you want to handle us getting stronger.))

[Knightwing64]

Not gonna lie, That seems kinda risky. You could go absolutely super Sayian with a 20 or just straight up get consumed by it on a 1. Not only that, But you should probably explain why he has the parasite in the first place. Given you said it could act of it’s own free will it should be pretty intelligent, So if it was forcefully implanted or something, It would probably try to constantly screw you over out of anger due to it having emotions. To be fair, I can’t really talk about risky, Given my character is the child of a eldritch abomination and carries a knockoff Necronomicon with him at all times. 😅

Hmm, your character is a two in one, so that is acceptable for your 'parasite' to have its own dice when it powers up., which is more of a symbiote, since it grants benefits to its host while it takes.

Its cool.

OOC:You know what? We have waited enough! Que the entrance!

"Arrival at the set destination in 30 minutes." Said the A.I piloting the transport ship to the four passengers, whom were either fools or were deathseekers, or both. Everyone knew that approaching The Citadel was signing your own death sentence.

But the passengers did make this desicion anyways. Some one has to do it, and they had one special trick on their collective sleeve no other before had. A spell of sorts, put onto the very hull of the ship they were in that would protect them from the thing that hits whatever breaks through The Citadels veil.

Without talking, without thinking, they sat on their seats.

"15 minutes." said the A.I, with the same voice as before.

You all feel that something very big is right around the corner for all of you. 15 minutes is not much, but maybe you can make use of it before you pass beyond the point of no return.

What do you do?

[Knightwing64]

Amon just studys his spellbook with a smile, If these strangers want to talk to him, Go right ahead, He’s just shy.

[King Zultan]

Dr. Unpleasant quickly checks his handgun and magazines to make sure everything's loaded.

[chaotic skies]

Naoki sits calmly and awaits his fate. He's made his preparations. There is nothing to do but see what happens.
