Nightbane

Nightbane

0 INK

In a world where monsters and magic are all to real, evil rules from the shadows. But there is hope. The Resistance fights back against the Nightlords, monster against monster. They are Nightbane.

1,458 readers have visited Nightbane since Vain created it.

Introduction

On March 6, 2000, at 6:02am, the entire planet was shrouded in unnatural darkness. The darkness blocked out the sun, and neither the stars nor the moon were visible. Many believed it to be the end of the world. Governments blamed each other, thinking it to be the effect of some secret weapon. Riots, rapes, beatings, and murders were commonplace. Emergency call centers were flooded with reports of monsters roaming the streets and skies. Numerous people simply disappeared.

It was also during this darkness that thousands of people learned that they had become inhuman monsters. Many of them were killed before they knew what had happened to them. Some were killed by mobs of terrified humans, others took their own lives. Those that survived learned that they could return to their human forms. These shapechanging beings are called the Nightbane, for it was at night that they become monsters.

The Nightbane are people who discover that they not entirely human. In fact, they are shape-changers who possess a comparatively frail, human "facade" and a supernatural, superhuman "morphus."

The morphus is said to reflect the person's personality or subconscious fears, desires and self-image. Thus some are exotic and beautiful, while others (most) are misshapened monsters. No two appear exactly alike and even the most hideous can have the spirit of a saint, while the handsome and beautiful may be evil incarnate.

Whether hideous or beautiful, cruel or kind, the Nightbane are feared and slaughtered by most humans who see only a monster. Creatures of shadows, when slain, they disappear like the morning mist, as if they never existed (and leaving no evidence of their existence).

A surprising number of Nightbane cherish and cling to their humanity. Many of these become secret protectors of humankind and champions of good. Yet even these misbegotten heroes must operate in secret lest fearful, evil or misguided humans torment or destroy them. But there are far greater horrors loosed in the world than this. Evil Nightbane, vampires, human sorcerers, supernatural predators and other dark forces all busy building their petty power structures, preying on the weak and innocent, or engaging in foul pursuits. Worse, the Nightbane are hunted and slaughtered without just cause and without mercy by the Nightlords and their minions.

The Nightlords plan to quietly seize control of the world! They have already secretly infiltrated the highest levels of world government and business, and have begun to manipulate and enslave humankind. Their only opposition: humans who have uncovered the truth, vampires (rivals for world domination), and the Nightbane who have elected to fight their own kind to save the human race.

There are many organizations in this world. Some good some evil.

The Resistance

The Resistance is the largest Nightbane Faction, with members throughout the world and in nearly every city of the United States. The goals of this group are simple: To organize the Nightbane and oppose the Nightlords everywhere, by whatever means necessary.

Underground Railroad

The Underground Railroad is the oldest Nightbane organization. Like the Civil War organization who's name they share, the Nightbane version offers protection and shelter to their kind, while teaching them about their nature, talents, and how to survive humankind. They seek to provide Nightbane guidance and safe places to learn about themselves and how to survive in a dangerous world. Some, who felt the time for hiding in the background was ended, broke off to form the Resistance.

The Lightbringers

The Lightbringers are one of the strangest groups in the Nightlord-ravaged world of Nightbane. Their membership includes both Nightbane and humans, but the group is believed to be led by the mysterious Guardians. The mysterious beings are appearing in ever greater numbers, attacking the minions of the Nightlords, the growing vampire population, and those Nightbane who try to abuse their powers.

The guardians are an enigmatic group. Most guardians don't fully understand who or what they are. From what is known, they seem to be normal men and women that have been transformed into supernatural beings with an instinctual desire to help humankind and destroy evil. Most of them remember little or nothing about their previous lives.

They resemble normal humans, although are typically much shorter. They have smooth white skin and hair, and translucent eyes, which often gives them the appearance of being albinos. They have incredible psychic and healing powers, but their most interesting characteristic is their ability to create light that can be used as shields or even blasts of energy that can inflict massive damage on supernatural creatures.

The Warlords

The Warlords are nothing but a Nightbane-dominated street gang that has spread across North America. They have no care for the war against the Nightlords, the vampires, or much of anything else. Instead, they control their streets against all comers. Heavy into crime, drugs and protction rackets, and other shady activities, this faction is mostly bullies and thugs, with a few heroes in the rough hidden deep within.

The Seekers

Magic and the occult are thought of as mere fantasy and superstition, at least before Dark Day. Unknown to the world at large, sorcerers and arcanists had been practicing the mystic arts in secret. The Seekers are an ancient organization of sorcerers who are becoming active in world affairs for the first time in centuries.

Spook Squad

Special agencies of the government like the CIA, the NSA, the Secret Service, and the PAB (the very secret Paranormal Activities Bureau) have been forced underground by the machinations of the Nightlords, and are now fighting against them as a faction known as the Spook Squad. These former spies, law enforcement agents, and soldiers know that alien beings have taken over the United States and other global governments. They know very little about the supernatural forces they face.

The Nocturnes

The Nocturnes seem to have existed before Dark Day, and are enemies of the Nightlords. The Nocturnes claim to have been founded by an ancient Wampyr called Iosef Pendragon, who was able to magically sever his link to the Vampire Intelligence and slay his former masters. The Nocturnes fought the encroaching Vampires in centuries-long battles. Many were killed during Dark Day, but their secrecy preserved them and led them to rally in order to subvert the Nightlords.

The Nightlords

What most people don't know is that "Dark Day" was an event used by a race of beings from neighboring dimension to invade our world. These beings are known as the Ba'al-ze-neckt (Lords of Night), or simply, the "Ba'al". The Ba'al are a race of psychic vampires that feed on the life energy of both humans and Nightbane. Their true origins are a matter of debate; some accounts say they were sorcerers whose cruelty and demand for child sacrifice caused their subjects to revolt, while others claim they were always alien in origin. Whatever the case, it is known that they were banished to the Nightlands thousands of years ago. Now they have successfully weakened the barrier between Earth and the Nightlands and can come and go as they please. The Nightlords possess the ability to manipulate matter for various purposes (their greatest achievements being the creation of their vast fortresses).

As for you, the world has never quite been the same since Dark Day. The day there was no sun rise β€” no moon or stars for that matter β€” only absolute darkness and hysteria.

It is your seventeenth birthday when "The Becoming" changes your life and your world view forever. That was the day you discovered there were two of you, your human-self and the inhuman creature you can become at will.

You quickly learn there are "monsters" in the world, both human and supernatural, evil and good. The question is, which are you?




Character Sheet

As this is mostly about the Nightbane I would like a majority of the characters to be Nightbane. However, I am going to allow two Guardians, humans, and a vampire.

Name:
Nickname: (If any)
Height:
Weight:
Race: (Nightbane, Human, Guardian, or Vampire.)
Age: (Nightbane start at 17, for Vampires give actual age and appearance age.)
Appearance: (Pictures or a description is fine. For Nightbane give a picture or description of both your Morphus and your Facade. Remember, Nightbane are more often then not monstrous in appearance so don't fall back into angels and demons. Yes, your character can be supernaturally beautiful if you want, but I don't want a bunch of Superwomen running around. Be creative. Your Nightbane can look like anything!!!)
Personality: (What is your character like? How does he/she act? How does he/she feel about his/her transformation? Try to be as detailed as possible.)
Likes:
Dislikes:
Biography: (Tell me a little about your character. What has he/she done with their life up until now.)
Talents: Not human talents, but what can your Nightbane do. Nightbane have magic like supernatural abilities. They can do things like suffocate people with shadows, produce shadow whips, see glimpses of the future, scry, control the weather to an extent, convert themselves to electricity to travel through power lines and even hack to an extent. Be creative with it, but don't go overboard. Also, if it doesn't make sense for your character to be able to do it then don't. Also, all Nightbane have the ability to cross into the Nightlands through mirrors, the home of the Nightlords though this is very dangerous and unless your very experienced you won't last long. Nightbane can also innately sense other Nightbane. All Guardians can control Light and all of them get visions. They use these visions to guide them on their mission to destroy the Nightlords. However, no one knows where these visions come from. Whew, sorry thats so long.)

Toggle Rules

1. No one liners. I know some of you will get writers block, but try to keep it to at least a paragraph.
2. No godmodding.
3. As this is a darker themed roleplay I expect that characters will curse, but keep it reasonable.
4. I am the GM and what I say goes. If you have a problem feel free to PM me.
5. Don't bring character grudges into OOC. I want this to be civil and fun.
6. Don't join and then drop out without any notice. If your going to be unavailable for a period of time let me know.
7. Try to post at least once at day. I understand we all have lives outside of this so I'm going to be a little lenient on this, but if you don't post for more than three days with no notice I will kill off your character. Just a warning.
8. Once you've made your character put "Nightbane" at the end of your sheet to show me you've read the rules.
9. Have fun.

"Im Sapphire" she said calmly, "Im fine, I just need a moment to recharge." She said simply, waving the offer to be helped home away. She didn't always feel so comfortable around her own kind, seeing as not only was she someone who hardly trusted her friends, but she didn't get along well with others unless she truly knew that they wouldn't turn on her. "I have never heard of this... Rail road thing before" she stated simply, stretching slightly and yawning. It was true though, she rarely did have any sort of connection with other Nightbanes, therefore she hardly even knew anything about the world she was apart of. Nehru hissed quietly at her feet, moving from her shadow to stand parallel to it. "Why would I want to?" She spoke quietly to the shadow, but it hissed again, "Nehru....I Dont think its a-" Another louder hiss that probably even the two other Nightbanes could hear was made by Nehru, "Fine." She stated angrily. Then turned towards Ciel, or at least where she though Ciel was. "I guess ill take you up on the place to stay offer." She said simply, not sure why Nehru was leading her in this direction. Sapphire pushed a bit of hair from her bright blue eyes and gave a small smile.

Ciel smiled at Sapphire ignoring the omnious hissing noise coming from what appeared to be her shadow. "The Underground Railroad is an organization founded to help Nightbanes to stay safe and master their abilities. You'll get three meals a day, a safe warm place to stay, as well as personalized lessons to train you on your powers. It's really wonderful. In fact, they even keep guards on duty from the resistance just in case. However, the whole thing is shrouded in mystery. Nearly no humans know of it, and even a good number of Nightbanes haven't heard of it. As far as its location, well, only those that work and live there know of it. The exception is the Resistance. It's very safe. You've made a wise decision." She turned her attention to Ivan. "Well, I can't give you details on the situation, but there's no need to worry about it. Just a communication error." she simply stated. It was forbidden to talk of Resistance matters with those outside of it. Even if they were Nightbanes. Spies were everywhere. "I haven't yet recieved your answer, nor your name sir. If you don't want to go, then that's fine, but I would like to at least know your name." she said.

When he returned to the Seeker base, he was called over to among one of the other researchers, and they began to haver an intense discussion about why the lay lines even existed. Considering most of it was merely theorys, and nothing concrete, Knoll ended the conversation faster than it would normally have been.

With a sigh and a slight yawn, Knoll continued his walking. He came across a few students, trying to figure out some work that a mage had assigned the,. He didn't do the work for them, he he showed them some runes that may come in handy. He nodded when they gave their thanks, and he continued. He loved it when little kids were eager to learn. It meant that this world havea better chanc, once they stopped the nightlords, and returned the workd to peace.

Knoll entered the library, and checked out a few books on chemistry, and began reading them intently

He stared curiously at Sapphire's shadow, wondering slightly about the strange hissing sound, and what it meant. Though he still heard her words, and understood her initial concern, he was surprised to find that she suddenly changed her mind. In difference to Sapphire, Ivan had spent a lot of time trying to gather information on the different societies that had been created since he discovered his extra form, and even though he knew very little, he knew enough.

Staying safe and mastering my abilities, Ivan thought to himself, sounds fair. Though he still didn't trust the problem she had referred to earlier to be as simple as a communication problem. When she asked for his name, he hesitated again. To join up with The Underground Railroad, though safe, still meant he had to get far more involved in all of this than he felt comfortable with. And if he regretted his choice - what was he then left with?

"Ivan," he said, at last. "My name is Ivan. I would consider it an honour to join your organization."

"Well, then. Follow me." said Ciel with a grin. "There are several ways to get to the Underground Railroad, but the closest is close to the outskirts of the city."

After about thirty minutes of walking, Ciel stopped in a alleyway scanning the surrounding area to make sure there weren't any witnesses. She stopped at what looked like an ordinary deadend, but it held a secret. She pushed a brick further into the wall, and whispered a passcode to a guard on the otherside. The guard, using his powers, moved the bricks aside to reveal a hidden tunnel leading somewhere underground. Ciel turned to Sapphire and Ivan. "Come on."

Ciel led the group down the winding and mysterious tunnel for a good while with a flashlight till finally the tunnel began to change. It started to branch off into crystalized tunnels, and further down it, the tunnel branched off into caverns. The whole base of operations was a huge secret underground cave system with natural air venting in and out. The largest natural cavern even had a one hundred foot waterfall with pure clean freshwater pouring in from the local river. The great thing was no one knew it existed, and with the combined powers of several Nightbanes, the whole place is shrouded with a barrier to protect it from detection. It was also very beautiful. The crytals as well as the stalagmites and stalagtites, all ranged in a huge variety of colors. Ciel absolutely adored the place. She did grow up here after all. She called over some attendants to help Sapphire and Ivan get settled. "Well, I'll come back to check on you guys later. Bye~" she said with a wave. "Now, to figure what's going on."

"You bastard!! I lost four good men because your information was unreliable!" Red Leader Jason Korvick shouted as he shoved the man in front of him into the wall and lifted him up by his off-white T-shirt. Jason was a rather intimidating man and an even more intimidating Nightbane. Now in his Facade he still towered above the intelligence officer at a staggering six feet five inches and his well toned and built body filled out his frame impressively. He wore his brown hair short in a military high and tight and he wore pitch black combat gear consisting of pants, vest strapped with grenades, combat knife, and ammo, and combat boots. He glared down at the man with piercing brown eyes while he looked up at Jason trembling with his own green ones.

"I-I'm sorry sir, I got the information from a reliable source!" the intel officer squeaked as Jason's grip tightened.

"Sorry! Sorry doesn't bring back the men I lost cause you told us there was a Night Prince there and we ended up getting our asses handed to us by an Avatar!"

The intel officer became visibly more shaken upon hearing this and continued to squirm in Jason's grip. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to look at Blue Leader Kyle Summers. "Come on Red, let him go. This was likely a set up. The informant probably didn't know he was giving bad info. Ruffing him up isn't going to bring back Grant and the others," Kyle said softly, but sternly. Kyle wasn't a big man by Jason's standards, but he was big enough at five ten and two hundred sixty-two pounds. He too was well built from years of fighting and was enhanced by his supernatural nature. His gear was similar to Jason's, but his face wasn't as stern with softer lines framing his face and light blue eyes complemented by blonde hair.

"Tch, fine," Jason growled dropping the intelligence officer and telling him to "beat it" before he changed his mind.

During the thirty minutes of walking, Ivan was given an ample opportunity to think this through. However, he decided not to dwell in his decision, mostly seeing as there was an unnerving feeling in the pit of his stomach that told him it may have been the wrong one to make. He was slightly confused as Ciel led them into an alleyway, and was honestly surprised when the hidden tunnel appeared, wondering how many of the same kind were hidden around.

Giving Ciel a polite nod as she left them, he turned his attention to admiring the place they found themselves within. A brief thought of 'would I even fit in here' passed his mind, but he turned it away. The answer was quite obvious, and he hoped he would be able to find an escape route when his time was up. For now, however, he stayed as calm as he could, casting nervous glances towards the blind girl every now and then, if only to make sure she was still there.

Ciel ran down one of the many Resistance Headquaters hallways looking for her leader. She desperately needed to know what was going on. She was very worried. Several of her friends went into that battle. She hoped everything went according to plan. She turned a corner, but didn't slow down quite enough and ran straight into someone. "Hey, be careful! You could-" she stopped mid-sentence. She stood up straight and saluted her leader. "Sir! I have come back to report!" she said to Blue Leader, Kyle Summers. She was blushing a little bit while trying to keep her calm. She had ran straight into him. It also didn't help that he was incredibly handsome. All the female soldiers talked about him. Although she would never admit it, Ciel too had a little crush on him. I mean, what's not to like? Handsome, nice, noble. What more could you ask for?

"Sir, i-if you don't mind me asking... I-I was wondering how the m-mission went...." she said kind of quietly.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Oh. No thanks. I was looking for a regular game to play.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

@Zadar Its just as the intro says. The Lightbringers are a group lead by Guardians that have an innate need to help people. They work not only to fight the Nightlords, but they also keep Vampires and evil Nightbane in check. They follow the visions they get as a path to helping people, but their followers are usually human and Nightbane. Some are skeptical of this group because of the Guardians. Few guardians remember anything from their past and none of them know where their strange power comes from. Some speculate it come from God to help the innocent while others believe their power is extraterrestrial in origin.

@Bones Your character looks pretty good, but you need more detail in his personality. Also, I'm not doing this as an actual Nightbane game. Its in roleplay format so there's no need to put dice damage for your weapons. Also, I'm not too informed about Geomantic Immortals as I've only read the first book and the wormwood expansion a bit. So because of this could you just make him a mage? You don't have to be a Seeker though.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Hi. I just came across this forum and I LOVE IT! I've been looking for a Nightbane game for a long time. I've submitted a character. I hope he is acceptable. He's human and a Geomantic Immortal. Please let me know what you think.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Oh, just read the OP more carefully. So who what and where are the light bringers? You didn't say much about the regular people in the light bringers.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Im back guys :D lol

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Threat-wise the Nightlords respect the Guardian's abilities, but their main focus is on the Nightbane. As for minions they have almost an unlimited supply as they can bring them over from their world as they need. Not only that, but the Nightlords have control of most of the major nations of the world so their reach is far and wide.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Great, and last questions (Sorry),
What do the nightlords think the guardians as? Threat-wise.
And approximately how many of each more powerful minions are there?


Sorry for so many questions!

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Nightbane have alway been on Earth as far as historical records go. Most believe their change is somehow influenced by the Nightlands.

Minions

Night Princes: Ba'al-Zebul are the highest ranking minions of the Nightlords and are masters of illusion. 80
Avatars: The Ba'al possess the ability to create a being that is a lesser version of itself. These are very powerful and are usually loyal to the Ba'al that created them. 90
Doppelgangers: Supernaturally strong copies of humans, they dwell in the Nightlands and live their lives in a haze unless something awakens them. They are considered playthings for the Ba'al if actual humans are not available. They have lower Potential Psychic Energy and minor psychic abilities (but a low incidence of master psionics). They are usually the opposite of their human counterparts on Earth. 20
Ashmedai: Shapeshifting worm-like monsters. 30
The Hollow Men: Bug-like creatures that create humanoid constructs to move about in. 15
Hounds: The shock troops, these armored warriors are the core of the Ba'al fighting force. 40
Hunters: Winged versions of the Hounds. 60
Great Hounds: A twelve-foot high version of the Hounds. 70
Doppelganger Warlord: A more powerful version of the Doppelganger. When a Doppelganger proves itself to their Nightlord Masters, they go through an alchemical process to be transformed into a Warlord. 50

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Are the nightbanes also from that dimension or were they always on earth? And also, what would be the power level of the different types of minions, from 1 to 100 with me (an experienced guardian) being 50?

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

@Zadar No, the Nightlords aren't Nightbane. They are an extradementional race of Psychic Vampires that feed off of peoples Life Force and Psychic Energy. They come from the Nightlands and used Dark Day to weaken the boundary between their world and ours. Potentially they are much more powerful than any standard Nightbane which is why their are so many fighting them.

As for where things can go, I'd like to find a way to get some of your characters together and eventually I'd like to have a final culmination of a fight with the Nightlord Moloch. This will come much later of course. I think I'm going to make some more NPCs for leaders of the Resistance and the like so you can have more to interact with. If anyone has any plot ideas I'm open for suggestions. Don't worry I don't bite.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

I don't really have much I can do right now... does anyone have any ideas?

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Aren't the nightlords nightbanes too? Or are they a different more powerful species?

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Being a civilian, my character probably isn't able to tell the difference either way :P

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

@Zadar No, your post was fine.


Oh, one things I forgot to mention. The hound isn't a Nightbane, though your characters might not know that. It's a minion of the Nightlords brought over from the Nightlands. It is and always has been a monster.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Okay, I got my first post in. Please tell me if I got anything wrong.

I don't think I wrote too much, but I will write some more soon.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

@Diesel No problem. Thanks for letting us know.

@Timothy & Solana I'm gonna post a roleplayers wanted thread. I'll ask a few of my friends on here to.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

@ SolanaNight: I could ask some friends if they want to join, if you're concerned that we're too few (:

Also, to all of you, I'm sorry if my last post was terrible. English is a difficult language when your mind is tired :P

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

I will be gone till monday.

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Re: [OOC] Nightbane

Posted, just thought I'd let you know. Also, do tell if I got something wrong :S
