Introduction

Plot: Since the birth of time kings have ruled the world. They were each granted the power source of life and death itself. This such power was kept inside the crown. Kings protected it one after another and the world thrived with new creations. Evil and good have fought for such time but none know that the real power is in the crown.
One day a king died. His son was told about the crown from his godmother. However an ease dropper seemed to hear this too. Now he leaked out the information to his master, a dark lord. The dark lord was actually the apprentice of the prince and murdered him in his sleep. Taking the form of the prince he obtains the crown and holds the whole kingdom as a puppet. Now organizations all over have hired the most talented bounty hunters to kill the demonic prince and take the crown.

Setting: The demonic prince lives in the largest castle in the world. It has large protective gates surrounding the palace. A very secure place.
Outside of the castle is a circle. The circle is a complete barren wasteland. North to the circle is the world's greatest forest. East is the desert. South is the waters. And last is West, covered with a blanket of mountains and hills and ice.

Open Spots: (Just because your a bounty hunter doesn't mean you have to be an assassin. You can be a mage, beast master, summoner etc.)

In the West end of Castle Zekrom, a pale figure stood in his window way looking out across the black landscape cracked by a spider web of lava illuminating the myriad of slaves toiling below a sunless sky.

Tier'Zial as he was known these days looked down at his hands. So small and fragile now compared with his old form. But the new body he inhabited was a ruse he needed to keep up, lest the rest of Demonkind come knocking on his door in search of the power he now possessed. The power endowed upon him by the crown he now wore perpetually.

The true Tier'Zial having thought himself invincible and he had proven him wrong. However, there was no harm in perpetuating the myth. Even now he could sense some weaker lifeforms questing to seek his power and reclaim whatever throne that employed them. He would crush them like so many others, and mount their flayed bodies on his gates as a warning to all others who would try.

The thought of past carnage and carnage to come gave him a sense of giddiness and he did not suppress a laugh that bellowed from the deepest parts of him. Echoing off the mountains to the West, combine with the timely crack of thunder and lightning incinerated a poor soul below. Truly, it was good to be king.

The night sky was blissfully quiet,there in the middle of a dense forest lie a worn down stone house that was overrun with all kinds of plant life growing both around it and on it.There were a few clouds in the sky that barely covered the light reflected by the full moon on this magical night,infront of the house was a small circular pond with no sign of life whatsoever. To get to the house itself you'd have to go around the pond to the right and climb a spiral stone staircase covered with moth and even missing a few of its stone steps.After that you should be right infront of the door,well if there was a door that is.

Right as you entered you'd have a door to your left and another down the room to your right,the house was not much and barely had any furniture.Before you would reach the door to your right there would be a window just behind you,it faced the full bright moon allowing some light to illuminate the room.Opposite to the window there was a single worn down wooden table that seemed to be ancient and slowly turning into dust,the surface of the table was cracked and full of curves just like that you would see on a desert ground during the day.To the left of the table there was but a simple cabinet that was not in any better condition that the table itself.The door to the right contained a small bathroom which was just a hole in the ground with some leaves gathered from the plant life surrounding the house set aside for obvious reasons.The door to the left was a small room half the size of the central one containing many kitchen apparel.

Xan cracked the kitchen door open and stepped into the central room,he headed straight for the wooden table on the opposite side of the room.His steps were light yet the floor beneath his feet cracked and squeeled with every step he took.It seemed as if the floor was about to give way under him,he didn't seem to mind much though.This was his hideout,a place he would usually retreat to when things heated up or he needed time to think.It was perfect for him,his pitch black cape covered much of his back and chest as it danced with the gentle air breeze.He stood at the table with a wrapped up piece of brown cloth in his right hand and looked out the window while his demonic eyes flickered a bloody red color before returning to their normal light blue color.He wondered where his supposed partner is and weather he or she was going to meet Xan here like he requested or if he would receive word soon from him or her on where to meet.Xan then spread the brown cloth across the table revealing that it was actually where he kept his equipment.To the right was his favourite katana and in the middle was the whip neatly wrapped around itself with 3 potion bottle on its side containing the poison for his daggers and one potion for magic resistance.To the left were his three daggers neatly organized.He took each out one by one placing the katana on his left side,the three daggers to the left,the whip on his back and the potions across 4 slots within the armor on his chest.He then stood looking out the window waiting patiently to hear from his supposed partner.

Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Well as a poor excuse to add some more drama to the plot, I changed a few things. In the beginning, I picked where I left off in my previous post. Raja is still holding Mouse's hand, but she hands her off to a few of those undead warrior guys. The voice she hears inside of her head is the same one that takes over in the form of bloodlust (if that makes any sense). I think that about clears it up, I think... Any questions?


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

I shall try to post something within the next couple of days. I have finals coming up, and it needs my full attention. For that, I apologize to everyone here.

@{sleepyhead} What has just happened to your character?

Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

@Sir Drazel: Sorry for taking ages to post, I had a bit of writers block with this roleplay. But I think it's gone now so I'll be regular again.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Read a fantasy novel. It always helps when I have writers block.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

I have a serious case of writier's block. Anyone have some helpful advice?

*Checks his posts*

See, I thought this was the plan all along and I don't think I've said anything to the contrary... Perhaps I could have picked a better word than "home". I didn't mean it as in your physical residence. I was trying to imply the lands you made your home. That's my bad I guess.

You were arguing the point of "Knowing" where his location was out of nowhere. I posited a solution is all. If it fits that Allister has made preparations outside the story then it's possible Zhao made preparations outside of the story. Especially preparations that were not specifically stated before hand. i.e. your teleport, most of your ritual dragon summoning etc.

If people must know the crown does have a limit on it's power well. It's just a vast wellspring that hasn't been exhausted as of yet. However I had planned for it to run dry at a critical moment enabling someone to you know... win and stuff. After the crown fails the prince is on his own as far as magic goes.

Just so people know I actually do plan on losing but that doesn't mean I will make any victory easy on you people.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

@Simosso Spells of a greater magnitude needs to be prepared ahead of time. Ie: Itzearlactil. If you will note, Allister did not just go out, on a whim, and killed the dragon for the sword. No, it took time, and effort, to do so, possibly months to several years before all of this began to occur.

Everything takes time and effort, even when writing/typing up a post. How long does it take everyone here to post something? Ten (10), fifteen (15), forty-five (45) minutes? For me, I take a good hour, to almost two (2) hours for each post. Research also comes to play in this, but only to an extent. The reason for this, is because I need to lay out plans for what might, and what will come from whatever action he will take. Lukisod's character's reaction was a possiblity, even though I had hoped for him to have his character think it through. This is not something to brag about, as it is tiring and tedious, but I find some enjoyment in writing for long periods of time.

Anyways, the point being, Allister's ability to teleport great numbers at a moments notice only means that he has prepared it in advanced. The first teleportation spell took time to cast, the second needed his blood to activate the spell within the dagger, and the last one was not from him. This new ritual took time as well. As he needed to procure the sword, kill a dragon, find three (3) powerful undead beings and bargain with them. Once he had all this done, he needed Mouse, and now that he has her, he will commense with his plan. This will probably take a few posts, all the while, your character will be trying/succeeding in getting through the shield.

Take some time and think about it. MFT's and your characters have some sort of added power, or a skill that you didn't voice in your profile, we all do. However, Lukisod's prince, and my necromancer, draw on different power to fuel their magicks. His has the crown, and mine has the dead and/or dying to draw upon. However, the side effects of using necromancy for long periods of time is shown on Allister. Who knows what side effects the prince has?


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

I was going to teleport outside the encampment in the first place. Somewhere near your base, not on top of you. And the power to teleport our group doesn't come from Xanti, but from all the wizards that are going to help. Xanti just reads from the book how things can be done, then explaining things to the others. He won't go as godmode teleporting and dragon summoning like Allister. Xanti only ensures that the gate we use remains in place so that I can return with Mouse (if all goes well).

And since you're teleporting like it's nothing I do not see why we couldn't bring a small group with a lot of helping wizards outside your hideout. We are just (IC that is) discussing our options, so there isn't any action yet and there isn't even a final plan yet.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Lukisod, you haven't been listening, have you? I said that Allister wouldn't allow them to know his exact location, yes, but they would know his general location. From there, they would be able to find his exact location, seeing how he's making no attempt to hide himself completely, only shielding himself. Besides, if Zhao and the others appeared in the middle of his camp, without knowing what objects are in the way, they would most likely end up impaled upon, or fused with various objects. From there, Allister would know about them, and would most likely start sending out various creatures to deal with them. Allister just placed a shield around his encampment, which would make it nearly impossible for someone to teleport through, let alone a group. Wouldn't that also be considered God Modding if they were able to do just that, and appear without so much as a scratch on them?

The ritual took time, yes, but everything was made ready while he was away. The three Liches came while he was gone, and they were most likely able to summon/bring everything that they would need. Look, this new ritual is going to take a while to perform, and I need to speak with {sleepyhead} about it, then reveal it slowly to everyone here.

Even so, how would they teleport through his shield, and how would they deal with the various necromancers and undead once they arrived? Teleporting, in any game, is tricky business. It leaves a person disoriented, dazed, etc, upon their arrival. To just say that they teleported 'here', then started to attack is another consideration of God Modding. Besides that, there would be a considerable drain upon Xanti's strength, and, depending upon the number of people he would be teleporting, he would most likely end up either drained completely, or KOed on the ground.

Let us agree that they should appear outside the forest nearest his home, as it would be better than to have them appear within a shield that they have no knowledge of.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Response to the questions raised by Moon/Mihael and the following rather attacking sentence: I'd take his personality seriously, if I were you, as it is my personality, and, as such, I place myself into his shoes every time I play him, wondering, 'What would I do in this situation?'

I thought that since the two characters had some kind of connection in the past that Zhao might know to what Allister is referring when he says the kingdom of the dead. The exact location is not known by Zhao, but as the person he is he wouldn't admit that and therefore does some wild guessing on his part. You should've not be so quick to judge, as the continuing post MFT and I were planning would explain more. It's part of Zhao's personality to be rash and wild. Also I wanted to add that my character's name is Zhao, not Zhou (don't say that I don't take your personality seriously when you don't even have the decency to spell my character's name right, which by the way consists of only 4 letters. There, now I'll stop this flame wars in two...one...NOW!)

And secondly, I just wanted to complete my master's task in finding you and Mouse. Since you are currently in 'a place where your life will end when you set foot upon it.' I cannot send scouts to find you. Also I was under the impression that you meant some sort of hell or afterlife with this kingdom of the dead and therefore I would've to teleport and that can only be done by somehow knowing where to teleport to.

I was not intending to Godmod. I just tried to make my way towards your location to have a great and spectacular battle. In my spot it's just impossible to find you at the moment, which is not really helping this roleplay I think. My character can't just sit and wait, because it's against his nature and against the mission his master gave him.

If you have some good ideas about how this roleplay should or could evolve then by all means: tell me what you are planning. If you were planning on, say, attacking the castle before Zhao would send his attack-force tell me. Or if you want Zhao to rush in on foot (which isn't possible at the moment I believe) then please tell us. I am just trying to get a great story out of this, an exciting plot and a 'never to forget' experience. If you have a great idea then I will act towards that.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Divination perhaps? You are fielding a huge army of undead which carry the magical signature of necromancy. At some point during the time the prince or Zhao has known of you, we would have searched out where you make your home. The prince is at least as distrustful. Not to mention your legions of undead have to come from somewhere so we could backtrack it. Perhaps find out where the suggestion for control emanates from. Perhaps physical scouts had stumbled upon your hideout years ago. They need not have even been people. Perhaps I could say that the Prince uses magically endowed cockroaches to scurry forth in the world and gather him pertinent information.

All of that is about as fair as saying "No one knows where I live. My character wouldn't let that happen."

Listen, you're arguing about "God Modding" after instaporting out of a fight with me. A ritual which you yourself had admitted took time and effort previously, and now apparently happens faster than I could react to. You know what you do in that situation? You go with it. Zhao had discovered your home a long time ago through some unspecified means. He's just never revealed it until now. Now Allister has to deal with the unforseen. So deal with it.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Allies? No. Please step into the Mind of Allister for a moment. He is extremely distrusting of everyone, and will not open up just because someone had claimed him to be "allies" with another person. He wont give away his home location, as he enjoys control over situations, and this would be a considerable lack of control. I'd take his personality seriously, if I were you, as it is my personality, and, as such, I place myself into his shoes every time I play him, wondering, 'What would I do in this situation?'


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

I thought it was previously assumed that Allister and Zhao were allies at one point? Therefore it would've been reasonable for Zhao to know where Allister made his home. I think this is where he's getting the idea.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

@MFT Now how do you know where Allister's hide out is? Your characters haven't been there. Just "knowing" doesn't cut it, as he doesn't allow people who are not like himself near it, unless they are prisoners, and Xanti and Zhou have never been his prisoner. Mostly because he kills them off quickly.

No, the most you would have is a general idea of his location, not the exact. Also, your chacters would soon be receiving reports of great numbers of undead all across the prince's lands, and perhaps believe that Allister is among them. Other than that, it would be considered Godmodding if your characters just "know" without ever learning first.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

So he did. Shows how much I pay attention.

Sorry Drazel.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Actually, if you look below angelwolfchild's post, you'll see that Sir Drazel had posted a few lines.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Crazy. Let's see how well my writing skills hold up against all of you.

Anyone who's MIA is easy enough to account for. Just say some of my agents killed them off before being reassigned to Allister. Although from the sounds of their posts, some of them never even got their assignments to kill me at all.

So are we starting the official cut off then? People who don't post in the next day or two get cut.

By the way, Sir Drazel, this is your RP, and you haven't posted in 4 days now despite being online yesterday at least. Come back or I'll feel abandoned :(


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

@Lukisod Allister has sent one of his necromancers to go and search for the bounty hunters, and offer up an alliance, of sorts. Basically, combine whatever their skills are with his magick. He doesn't much care what happens to the crown, so long as the prince is dead.

Has anyone heard from solidgear, Whisper, or Kiri711? They seem to be MIA.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

Yes, it is.

I shall be posting something later tonight, as my head hurts at the moment, and my mind is blank.


Re: [OOC] The Crown of Existence

It's nice to see one of the bounty hunters post.
