"This may come as a shock to you, but you are actually a mage. You may or may not have known this long before, have even been trained in your element, but the single truth is, you are a mage, and I now require your help. I have chosen you to guard the precious Black Diamond, which you may know holds this kingdom safe and protected from other kingdoms that surround us. This Black Diamond is the heart of our kingdom. It holds magic from the past ages, strong yet dangerous magic, and whoever beholds that kind of destructive magic must not misuse it, or else doom would befall many people. The Diamond has, for thousands of years, held up the magical charms that shield us from warfare. It must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Recently, I fear that the Black Diamond's safety is threatened, and that is why I now beg for your help.
If you have no misgivings about leaving your home for the sake of this kingdom, please meet me at noon exactly a week from now, at the Hangman's Pier. Again, I beseech you, come protect our kingdom.
Yours Truly,
The Wizard."
The old man sighed, pleased with his work, then proceeded to copy out this message seven times. He carefully folded all eight pieces of parchment, slid them into eight beige-colored envelopes, then with a wave of his hand and a muttered incantation, the envelopes hovered into the air and zoomed out of the window towards their chosen destinations.
Here are the rules to this roleplay:
NO godmoding (meaning you cannot make a perfect character, or that you dodge every attack, or something)
NO spamming
You'll need to have at least and intermediate grasp of literacy.
Although there'll be eight main protectors of the Diamond, you can also be another character, like an enemy from the other kingdom waiting to ambush these young heroes or something.
I'll be the guide, the old man, and also another secret character...
PM me your character sheet, don't post here until I've approved of your character.
