Somewhere along the way, Darion is bound to run into Dawn and Nicolas! It'll be an...interesting reunion. Hopefully it'll cheer him up, too!
Or a reminder that he could have a loving relationship like that too if he had stood up like a man and punched the Night Heralds in the face instead of leaving his girlfriend behind in a dark, otherworldly realm from which there is no escape for all eternity.

Hmm, this seems like it will be fairly interesting. If I chose to join this narrative, I'll probably select someone from the new continent. Perhaps some sort of Elf- I haven't ever made one before so it should be interesting creating an ageless entity that has been around a bit too long even before the story started. A little magic here, a little elven tools there- overall it could be something interesting that hasn't been overdone. I like what you've done storywise thus far Sin, it sounds pretty cool.

Naw, it'd be more interesting having Darion being utterly in the dumps. Like say, we are introduced to him sitting in a gutter somewhere piss poor drunk holding onto his love interest's token and crying out her name while asleep. Then over time, learning to become more and more like the man he used to be- probably with a dark desire of freeing her from the Dark World without forgoing her sacrifice.

For reference, if the ending of the RP was Dawn being sacrificed; Nicolas would be found shut-in a large, dusty and empty mansion with hundreds of half-written play scripts strewn everywhere. He'd be unshaven and really cynical and would have the hair-band tied around his wrist at all times. He'd be down in ALL the dumps.

Darion's motivation to go to the new war could be that he's just trying to numb the pain or something. A lot of great room for character development.

Or is intending to summon her back from the otherworld by being assisted by the necromancer who swears that he can take her soul back from the darkness- and let her return to the world at his side again...

I was kind of hoping that in the end, Dawn could have been a sacrifice. It would have paved way for a lot of character development on Noah's side, and it would have certainly been interesting(but equally heartbreaking) to see Nicolas as such a mess.

Conversely, it would have been cool to see Nicolas as one of the three who stayed behind with the Night Heralds--which would have put Dawn in much of the same position Darion will be in now. I really would have enjoyed writing that. Oh well, I am glad Nicolas and Dawn get to live happily ever after. Sucks to be Darion though.

I liked this idea of some continuity between the first RP and this one. To my knowledge, it's never been something we've done before so I'm curious to see how things play out as I'm sure some of you are as well. There'll definitely be more characters popping up again and, if it makes sense, feel free to have your own characters make an appearance.

One thing though: at the start, I'll ask that no one makes more than two characters. It'll likely take me some time to get into the swing of things for this RP since I'll be doing so many new things so I want to make sure I can handle it before opening the floodgates. :)

Again, if you need anything just ask, I would be happy to help. I'm happier as a player, but as long as I don't have to directly take over I'm fine helping out with quests, making up fodder NPCs, bouncing ideas around, so on and so forth.

Depending on how many members of the old cast are running around at the start, Eduardo would likely have more of a connection to work off of, since Andromeda wasn't around for long last time.

I'm going to vote Andromeda to be contrary and to say that you could try to build her up more since you've had more of a chance to have Eduardo interact with other people already.

I'm assuming the other person you don't use immediately is going to pop up later so that you can use your Sun goddess?

I say Eduardo since I have a feeling there's going to be an abundance of female characters.

Ultimately it's up to you, Yggdra, but one thing that's helped me when I'm indecisive is to look at the suggestions others have given or flip a coin, and then think about which one I seem to be naturally drawn to root towards. If someone says one but you think "hmm, I kinda wanna try the other one," then you'd probably be happiest going with your gut.

I remember nothing but war...

Thousands of years ago there existed a group of Elves who lived amongst Dragons. The relationship was harmonious and both races prospered equally. The Elves were blessed with knowledge of magic, nature and how the two coincide and exist everywhere. The Dragons knew of war, combat and martial prowess unlike any other race. Together the two controlled and were unparalleled in all aspects of life.

Everything I do does naught but draw blood...

As time passed and generations died off, fewer and fewer Dragons were born. Centuries flew by and before long, the number of Dragons remaining could be counted on one hand. Something drastic needed to be done else their entire race go extinct. The Elves convened and, with the blessing of the Dragons, it was decided that a ritual would take place that would meld Elf and Dragon together, creating the Draahvoh.

That was the very first time my future became clear...

The ritual required that the last remaining Dragons sacrifice themselves in order to assimilate with the Elves and become one. The creatures born from that union were unlike anything the world had ever seen. With the raw strength and brutality of a Dragon and the intellect and agelessness of an Elf, a race of beings some would consider Gods appeared. While few in number at the beginning, they quickly expanded their influence and grew. No one could stop them and an arrogance stemmed from their unstoppable rampage that drew them into war after war until their numbers were stretched too thin.

My brothers and sisters carried large heads atop their shoulders and with no bark to accompany their bite, it was only a matter of time...

With the entire world united against them, it didn't take long for the Draahvoh to begin toppling from atop their thrones. One by one they were cornered and hunted, almost to the point of extinction. The few that remained went in to hiding and soon a deep sleep, hoping that the world would forget about them. Centuries passed and generations of families lived and died and soon the world did just as the Draahvoh wished: they forgot.

The most fearsome nightmare is the one that sneaks up on you... the one that crawls forth from the chasm you long thought closed...



All who live; bleed. All who bleed; fall. All who fall; perish.
Synopsis

Veil of Chaos will take place on the continent of Nuaize (new-eh-zah) and the focus of the RP will be on the war between the Queen of Othello, Atlantis Benevella and the Prince of Mordis, Adrien Voller. Both sides are home to a plethora of skilled and adept warriors that would give their lives in the name of their leader albeit with varying enthusiasm between the two factions. Combat within the RP will primarily take place on battlefields with hundreds if not thousands of allies and enemies alike surrounding you. Balancing between defeating enemies and completing objectives will be key as characters who choose to stay and fight for too long will find themselves exhausted while one who chooses to rush about aiming for objectives will find themselves secluded from allies and an easy target for ambush.

War

Combat will take place of battlefields divided into quadrants with varying levels of importance. Ally and enemy controlled areas will be marked as such and while fighting within these areas, statistics will vary accordingly. A great deal of importance will be placed on statistics this time around and taking care to build your characters accordingly will be much more rewarding. The flow of battle will mean the difference between victory and defeat and all involved will need to keep a close eye on ally and enemy Morale.

Morale
█ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █
During large-scale combat, the Morale bar will help to influence the tide of battle. When abundant in Morale, all associated members of that faction will be blessed with increased statistics as well as other potential bonuses while faltering time and time again will leave a faction starved for Morale and will find themselves facing deductions and other penalties. Completing objectives as well as other feats of valor within battle will help to influence Morale. Certain ally and enemy participants will carry with them skills and abilities that influence Morale as well.

Character Building
As it was in Veil of the Malfested, a list of equipment available within the RP will be provided. These items can be obtained with gold, given to characters for whatever reason and discovered on battlefields and within dungeons. Equipment will influence statistics as it did before. There will be less equipment available simply because there was so much before that no one used a lot of it. If you want a specific item instead of what's available, I can certainly create it for you. Basically, it's all very standard issue and tasks completed in a video game that might typically benefit your character will do so within the RP as well.
