Netherworld

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Kargoth on Thu Dec 18, 2008 3:56 am

Many thousand's of years ago, during the apocoliptic war between altantis & lemoria, a gateway by the incredible magic in use by both sides rippped a hole in our reality to the fearsome and wonderous nether realm. The nether realm was filled with both great wonder, and great horror. Now, centuries later, man is once again tampering with forces beyond thier control and have once again re-opened the proverbial gates of hell. Most would ask why, and the answer is simple-power. In the nether realm, there is a powerfull substance called "vathorium", left over by the now dead atlantians that has the potential to power cities of millions for a hundred years..and its totally safe. However, the so called "demons" also prize this material-to them it's food, helping them evolve into more powerfull forms & powering thier magic. Neither side is willing to back down, and both are well armed. Conflict is inevitable, the only question is who will win.


The humans usually use normal guns, along with energy weapons, explosives and chemical weapons.Ther're greatest weapon, however, are the battlesuits for fortress patrol-10 foot tall machines that dramatically increase the users physical power and are armed with over-sized weapons & limited flight (slow speed)(Only 5 availible), though a select few (3) are psionic's, able to read human minds, create illusions & move things with thier sheer willpower. They have several fortress mines scattered thoughout the netherreams. Humans see the netherworlders as freaks and dangerous rivals to the human species.

The netherworlders come in a stagering variety of forms, ranging form the angelic to mindnumbingly hiddeous. They lack the humans technology, but have innate magic from two of the listed areas below, and have a variety of natural weapons. While netherworlders do hate each other, they veiw humanity as trespassers and vermin and will temporarilly put aside personal issues to kill humans. Netherworlder are immortal, but infighting leaves many dead or crippeled.

Despite his appearance, urdgnaz is both faster and smarter than he looks. When he does enter combat himself, he prefers fighting at range but won't shy away from direct battle.

Re: Netherworld

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Wizard_and_Glass on Thu Dec 18, 2008 8:45 am

Name/Title: Zulothar, the Rot Farmer

Type: Undead Plant

Rank: Elder

Weapons(natural)
1) Toxic saliva projectiles
2) Tentacle braid left arm (10 tentacles)
3) Wraithwood hammer (self-grown)
4) Burst fruit (small explosive fruits grown from his body)
Magic:
1) Plant-based necromancy
2) Transmutation

Appearance: From a distance, Zulothar could appear mostly human. The closer one gets to this beast, however, the more horrific he becomes. What one would think is a human is truly a horrid mix of plant and cadaver, vines growing around and through the greying skin. His face is a hideous amalgamation of flesh and vine, one eye replaced with a blood rose that blooms when splashed with the crimson nectar. The other is a horrid, cataract white, though it can see perfectly. His entire left arm is a mass of braided vines, able to unbraid them for attacking, able to regrow them with time if they are chopped off. The small bulbs growing inside his dessicated ribcage, hard to spot, but there nonetheless, prove to be effective weapons, small, explosive fruits. He carries with him a gnarled hammer made of wraithwood, a special type of wood the Rot Farmer has learned to grow by infusing the recently deceased with seeds, harder than normal wood, closer to a density akin to steel. His clothing consists of merely a skirt-like garment clothing his lower half, keeping him modest, for though he is undead, he is still quite anatomically correct and wants to keep that fact hidden. It's more sickening than a turn-on for most, anyway.

Bio/Personality: Zulothar is a lonely, lonely being. To compensate for this, the beast takes the recently deceased, be them killed by his own hand or others, and plants a seed in their heart...or where it used to be. In twenty-four hours, his necromantic spark grows that single seed into the controlling, parasitic vine that entwines itself with the creature's very soul. If, however, he brings with him the soil from his own "pot," his name for his bedchamber, and plants the seed in their heart with this soil, the time is cut down by three quarters to only six hours. Zulothar can be considered odd in that he seems to never have more than the few attendants serving him...but that is only because none of the others have seen his underground chambers. His own personal army of shuffling, plant-based undead creatures reside there, Zulothar preparing for the worst. If one leaves this elder alone, one just might escape with one's life intact. Attack the Rot Farmer at one's own risk or one's body may end up in his army.

Will edit.

Name/Title: Kianne, Fire Doctor

Type: Human/elemental (Fire)

Rank: Physician

Weapons:
1) Excellent knowledge of poisons, and how to disguise their look, smell and taste.
2) Sword made from a substance similar to diamond. The rock was discovered by her father, and the sword crafted and formerly owned by her brother.
Magic:
1)Psionic (Seer, mind reader*)
2)Fire

*Not fully under control, certain people can block it, if they like it or not.

Appearance: Without eyepatch-
http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh193/Aura475/Anime%20Rainbow/fireresize-1027x768.jpg

Bio/Personality: Kianne is a mix of different personalities. The fire within her soul makes a fiery temper, often waiting for revenge if anyone were to cross her path. She can often exploit her gifts to blackmail people. It would be a lie to say she has never been involved in crime. She might appear tough and angry, hiding emotions except her anger, but is kind and unusually friendly if she is tending to someone she approves of.
Kianne grew up with a miner father, an older blacksmith brother, a maid as a mother, and a younger waitress sister. Her father had some earth powers, and her mother could read minds. Her sister was powerless, while her brother shared Kianne's power of fire. It was the closest thing they had in common. The first sign Kianne had of fire power was at the age of seven, when she nearly burnt down her brothers forge. She had nightmares for weeks beforehand of the place burning. Many people thought it funny that a girl endowed with powers of fire took such an interest in flora and fauna. At 15, it came in handy when her sister ate a few poisonous mushrooms, and Kianne was able to create an antidote within a few minutes.
Kianne is now a well known doctor, and she gets patients from all over the place. Kianne charges what she wants, but is careful as not alieniate them

I hope that this meets the standards and could add a bit of a more comedic element to the rp.

Netherworlder character
Name/Title: Crony the gopher
Type: Humanoid
Rank: Imp
Weapons(natural)
1) acidic salvia*
2) venomous fangs*
3) hallucinogenic flatulence*
* All are obviously limited in what Crony’s small body is able to supply. He Is immune to his own gases and chemicals except for his acid of which he is externally vunerabe to.
Magic:
1)Transmutation
2)Enchantment
Appearance: The probability of Crony being classified by a human as a soot gremlin are somewhat high. He Netherworld has very dark skin which goes though molting stages upon recent interaction with vanthodium. Crony has a very small frame mimicking that of bald, seven or eight year old child, but is anatomically incorrect due to sexual reproduction being unnecessary for the organism’s survival. It goes with out saying that this means that “he” has no gender. In addition the other oddities, he has buck teeth, and his eyes are pure topaz color with irises and the like.

Bio/Personality: As the Netherworlder’s title might suggest, he was once a gopher of a high standing succubus in the netherworld. The gopher’s summoner and master was assassinated over disputes about her ownership of a vanthodium mine. Although the succubus had written a generous inheritance for her gopher in her will, the vast majority of those possessions were commandeered in the dispute leaving Crony with a mere, estimated sum of 23 lbs. of precious substance that was quickly consumed. When the gate to the netherworld was opened for a second time Crony’s ever present, childlike curiosity overtook his meekness. He proposed that he would slay any of the invaders that wished harm on his way of life: a directive that he thought would one day give him fame, glory and wealth if accomplished.

Just to let ya'll know kargoth won’t be on for a while. I'll talk to him about what he wants done, but I’m pretty sure he won’t mind us going on with the RP.

Part of what I have planned involves the Baron's right-hand imp. Because she's going to be a constant factor, I'm spending one of the magical talents on her.

Baron Igrezzor the Flesh-Gorger
(Elemental Animal)
Rank: Baron
Weapons
1) Teeth and mandibles
2) Claws
3) Armored & spiked hide
4) Prehensile tongue (retractable barbs)

Magic:
1) Igrezzor: Elemental (Earth magic)
2) Ophelia: Illusion magic

Appearance:
Baron Igrezzor looks something like a nightmarish cross between beetle and a grizzly bear. Nearly the size of a military humvee, his teeth, claws, and spiked carapace make it blatantly obvious that he is a dangerous creature. The imp typically perched on his back or fluttering nearby often goes overlooked, despite being stunningly attractive. Ophelia gives the impression of a goth Tinkerbell, and at only four feet tall, she is dwarfed by her master.

Bio/Personality:
Baron Igrezzor was formerly the servant of Baron Ormo. A powerful magician, Ormo controlled Igrezzor by means of a ring. During a minor duel over territory, Ormo's attention slipped long enough for Igrezzor to bite off and devour Ormo's hand, ring and all. The released magic fed directly into the newly-freed demon, elevating him to his current level of power. He proceeded to slaughter and consume both duelists and claim their land and titles. Ophelia was consort and advisor to the late Baron Ormo and willingly assumed the same role under new management.

Though technically a baron, Igrezzor has enough personal power to hold his own among the elder netherworlders after consuming two moderately powerful ones. He lacks the political alliances to make a bid for more power, and his inability to project influence beyond personally going out and killing someone makes it difficult to effectively rule much territory.

Igrezzor, though hot-tempered and rash, is brutally intellegent and possesses an animal cunning. Ophelia constantly plays the temptress, and retreats to an icy, almost imperial personality when rebuffed.




Some artwork to help with character visualizations. Igrezzor is based around the Carnagor from Hellgate: London, and Ophelia is based on a deviant Art pic I stumbled across.
