Askaria : The Decay

Askaria : The Decay

0.25 INK

Askaria has fallen into Decay. The once-powerful realm is now threatened to collapse under ruin. Yet, hope remains with those who would fight for it.

1,776 readers have visited Askaria : The Decay since Siryn created it.

Introduction

Image





Image

Once a powerful realm, Askaria is plagued by a devastating sickness. The land is dying; creatures and humans alike are afflicted with the sickness. Emerging from the blight are hellish things who are born from those stricken with the disease. Driven by an unquenchable bloodlust, the only salvation for those lost to the disease is death. Yet, despite the ever-growing despair, some have hope for a remedy from the twisted plague.



Image

Most call it the Decay. It starts with a slight cough that never goes away. Then it escalates into chest pain, horrid headaches, and eventually the inability to move the body. Decay is a slow process, taking months before it is in its final stages. A clear mark that one has the Decay is a black, spider-like webbing that spreads gradually across the skin. This mark can start anywhere on the body, and is at its final stages when it covers the entire body before rendering the host into a twisted, hostile creature.



Image

Those taken by the Decay have become known as the Forlorn. They range in size and power. Humans turned Forlorn tend not to be as dangerous, though in numbers they can be devastating. Creatures turned Forlorn are the ones to worry about. Their size is usually twice that of a normal beast, and their power even more so. The Decay seems to plague animals far differently than it does to humans - the cause is unknown.



Image

In the midst of an ending realm, there is a small chance of hope. Sealed away, at the edge of the world it would seem, is the one capable of ending the Decay. The finest fighters in Askaria are tasked with finding the lost 'Askarian Prince'. Set forth, as the King bids you... and should your journey be graced with good fortune.








Image

Askarian magic is a fairly simple system. Run by the energy of the individual: meaning one cannot cast repeated fireballs limitlessly and so on. Askarian magic works on the following principal: Smaller spells can be cast multiple times (up to ten consecutive times before needing to rest). Larger spells can be cast only a few times and take longer to formulate before releasing (up to four consecutive times). Askarian magic is also widely different depending on the individual. Basics would be elemental magics and protection spells. More intricate and complex magics would include healing, invisibility, and illusion casting.

Be creative! Have fun with it. Doesn't need to be indepth, but good enough for you to know your character.

Name:
Sexual Orientation: optional
Birthplace: have fun, Askaria is yours to build
Abilities:
Weakness: keep it balanced. If you're wielding fire, water is your weakness naturally. Be creative
Personality: doesn't need to be long, just enough to get a sense of character
History: Briefly tell us where your character comes from




Image

Three characters, not including the GM's, are needed in order to begin gameplay. Afterwards, any further interest and submitted characters can join in at any point during play. The GM will come up with creative ways of introducing new characters who join in later on. The following is a list of characters for simplicity sake.


1.
2.
3.



Image

The following are the GM Rules for gameplay. Please follow them accordingly.

1. First and foremost. Have fun.
2. Please, no overpowered characters. We like growth! And harrowing fight scenes.... >:)
3. Romance! Oh romance. If there is to be any, please PG-13.
4. LGBT inclusions! Please be respectful of your fellow writers including your GM who is Bisexual and will play a Bi and most likely Gay character :) Thank you!
5. Did I mention have fun? Be creative! Enjoy!

The story will begin when there are three characters completed and accepted into the realm. Try to post when you can. Things may speed up, or slow down. No set posting days, just whenever anyone is free and ready to go. I will do my best to keep the game going. Thank you!




Important! For character acceptance! Please, put somewhere on your sheet: Purple Stars to let me know you read everything all the way to this point. Thank you!

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Hi my dudes/dudetes

I'm following this thread to see if this kicks up I understand that we are in the holidays and all that was said so to present myself and my WIP so I wrote a PM to the GM and now I'll just be lurking around ...Wink

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Their profile says that haven't been online since November 20...

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Maybe one of us should contact the GM? This RPG has great potential and I hate seeing great potential getting wasted.

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Hi! how is everyone?

I was checking to see if the Decay has claimed everyone or if Askaria could make room for an empath human paladin, I`m a little rusty but yeah currently building his sheet (in my head) and checking for his FC...

Re: Askaria : The Decay

I believe it is. Just a bit slow paced. It is close to the Holidays too so things tend to slow down at this time.

Re: Askaria : The Decay

I was wondering if this still open?

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Lol yeah you and me both Butterfly. I prefer just basic stuff. Now the only time I am okay with using nice coding it for the intro page of an RPG to help draw in players, but other then that, I prefer simplicity.

And that's good to know about your dad.

Thank you Zodia. Dad seems to be doing well now.

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Ok, She is up hope you like her.

I know my cs is kinda spartan but that is kinda my style...

Re: Askaria : The Decay

I hope everything is better with your family now Butterfly.

Re: Askaria : The Decay

So i had some family stuff come with my Dad being in the hospital and me having to help out fam and him but he is back home now and better.

Anyway working on my char now I made a few changes to her... will have more of a waterbender vibe to her and no illusion magic.

Still half fae and healer/seer

You will see soon i hope

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Nice! I like him Yuuman!

Re: Askaria : The Decay

@Syrin Eyyyyy, good to see you are back.

It’s going to take me a few days to have my character up, what with life going on and stuff, but here’s an overview to give an idea of what I’m going for. He is meant to be more utility oriented.

Once a member of elven royalty, Vaeril was ostracized by his people when his fascination with the hunt led to him slaying the beast Dahl Xiyuma, an ancient entity linked to his clan. Cursed by the creature and armed with a strange bow, he has since been traversing the lands for centuries in search of greater game, always at a distance from society.

Being more deeply connected with nature than most, Vaeril was one of the first to notice the existence of the Decay. Concerned with the impact the beastly Forlorn could have on the ecosystems, he made it his mission to investigate and contain the plague by hunting down the infected. However, in time he was forced to face the fact that his efforts were having no effect on the ever-growing disease, and its terror was making its way even into civilization.

Hoping to learn something in the kingdom of humans, he made his way to the capital of Askaria, where he was promptly apprehended at the king’s walls. Once his intentions to cooperate were made fully clear, and seeing the usefulness of the knowledge he had accrued on the fauna and Forlorn over the years, he was drafted into the adventurers’ party.

Yeah, she's fine :) It should work out perfectly ^.^

Re: Askaria : The Decay

I'll wait to see if Butterfly and YuumanN and Lloyd get characters up before I start us. Thanks everyone :)

Butterfly Effect wrote:Hey there and That's a good question Zodia. Wondering that myself now actually.

I am currently working on mine. I am planning a half fey witch. She is a healer and illusionist for the most part.

But i wanted something i wanted to run by you Siryn. I was planning to give her a power that though a ritual she can see visions of divination. It would be one of those like hour long chanting things that leaves her drained and weakened. Also i was planning it to be part of her backstory on how she joins the group. short of it is witches of her clan are dying of the Decay so she used her power to find a cure and she got a vision of this group.


Yeah that sounds good to me ^.^ I could work with that no problem.

Re: Askaria : The Decay

It's fine, Siryn. Just take care of yourself.

Re: Askaria : The Decay

Hello all, sorry for my delay. I didn't think this was going anywhere, I had almost given up hope for RPG ^.^ I'm also dealing with a work injury, so my apologies for my delay.

@Zodia195 : I'll take a look at your character right now.

@YuumanN : Apologies for my delay, I would love to have more characters if there's interest :)
