The Creation War: Infinite Elements

Gameplay:
Players are free to travel the world, seeking to aid the factions, or discovering the root of the rumors destabilizing peace. Players will have free rein over exploration and interaction.

However, combat will be determined by stats. Although players can ignore them in simple combat against minor opponents and in PvP combat, for greater ease and storytelling, stats are all-important against GM-controlled enemies.

Quests:
Quests are the primary motivator behind the plot. A list of all available quests is below, along with their goals, requirements, restrictions, and--most importantly--rewards. You can accept a quest at any time, so long as you mention it in your post.

When on a quest, please indicate it at the beginning of your post, like such:
Quest: Defeat the Thunder Colossus rampaging through the city.

Doing so will help keep you focused, and also keep the thread somewhat organized.

The GM will acknowledge the completion of your quests, and will reward you appropriately. NOTE: Some quests may have vague descriptions. That is intentional. While some quests are designed to force a specific action, others are there to encourage creative RPing. If it's vague, feel free to create any situation you can imagine, so long as it fits the techno-magical fantasy theme of the RP.

And of course, you're free to design and send in a quest to the GM at any time.

AVAILABLE QUESTS:
  • A wild monster appeared! - Fight off wild monsters - REWARD: none
  • Be a Big Damn Hero - Save a village - REWARD: 1 Advanced Skill
  • Oh God, the woods are alive! - Explore the Labyrinthine Forests - REWARD: Treasure

Key Quests: these have some plot significance
  • For great justice! - Meet the High Council of the Citadel of Light for the first time - REWARD: 1 Stat Point
  • Peace must be our sole imperative - Meet the Chief Executive of Fulmont for the first time - REWARD: 1 Stat Point
  • War was beginning... - Meet the Supreme Chancellor of Ferreod for the first time - REWARD: 1 Stat Point

Parties:
Parties are another tool for keeping the thread organized. If you’re bored traveling alone, a party gives you instant companionship and interaction. All parties will also receive a bonus in combat against GM-controlled enemies. You can even initiate party vs. party combat, for intense melees. Lastly, some quests may require a party’s combined strength, instead of a single player’s efforts.

When in a party, as with quests, please mark your party’s members at the beginning of your post, like such:

Party: Alice, Bob, Charlie, Diana

Stats:
There are nine stats: Endurance, Agility, Strength, Wisdom, Knowledge, Weaponry, Magic, Ingenuity, and Mana.

  • Endurance: determines health and durability.
  • Agility: determines speed and acrobatic ability.
  • Strength: determines the effectiveness of physical attacks.
  • Wisdom: determines the effective ness of magical attacks.
  • Knowledge: determines skill with technology.
  • Weaponry: determines skill with weapons.
  • Magic: determines skill with spells.
  • Ingenuity: determines skill with devising new technology.
  • Mana: determines Mana level.

Strength and Weaponry, Wisdom and Magic, and Knowledge and Ingenuity are all dependent on each other, and together determine the power of physical, magical, and technological attacks.

Most importantly, Mana determines how much Mana your character can actively unleash at once, and determines what Skills your character can use.

Each character receives 16 Stat Points at creation, and can earn more in quests.​

Skills:
Skills allow you to mix up combat beyond simple, repetitive attacks. However, all Skills have a Mana cost and a Mana level restriction. If you run out of Mana in battle, you must replenish it and skip any other actions while you are replenishing it, effectively giving your enemy a free turn. Basic attacks have no Mana cost.

New skills may be added at any time.

NOTE: Players can suggest new skills to the GM at any time.

The World:
Mana:
Mana is the fuel behind the elemental powers of every being and player in this RP. All beings can draw on the ambient Mana in the environment around them, for combat and other purposes.

In addition, naturally occurring Mana Fonts contain massive amounts of Mana, which can be used to temporarily super-charge a being’s powers to incredible levels. Unlike ambient Mana, a Mana Font contains only elemental Mana--only a being whose element matches that of the Mana Font can draw upon its power safely.

Be warned: Mana Fonts are incredibly rare, and their locations closely guarded. Approaching one may incur the wrath of its Guardian.​

The Void:
The Void is an entity of unimaginable power that exists beyond all of Creation. However, the Void is inactive, and content to leave Creation alone; indeed, few on Infinity know it even exists. But a few seek to disturb it, and so change Creation forever…

The Void is the antithesis of Mana; contact with a small amount of Mana can obliterate entire cities.​

Archetypes:
Archetypes are the various schools of thought regarding Mana. Each Archetype utilizes Mana in a different way, both in and out of combat. Archetypes are not affiliated with any element.

NOTE: Archetypes are your character ‘class.’ As such, you can create your own Archetype, or use one from the following list:

  • Warrior – a standard physical fighter
  • Thief – a quick and nimble fighter
  • Mage – a standard magic user
  • Ranger – an all-around fighter, using both melee and ranged weapons
  • Marksman – a dedicated ranged fighter, preferring guns
  • Spearman – a dedicated spear user
  • Priest – a holy mage, invoking the power of the gods
  • Defender – a defensive fighter, focused on absorbing damage and wearing down enemies
  • Berserker – a powerful, rampaging fighter, unleashing berserk fury
  • Paladin – a holy fighter, smiting evil and healing the weak
  • Knight – a mounted warrior
  • Healer – a healing, pacifistic mage
  • Scientist – a person of science, dedicated to discovering new methods of using Mana
  • Gadgeteer – an inventor, creating useful devices
  • Pilot – a user of technological vehicles
  • Archer – a dedicated bow user
  • Barbarian – a violent, unarmored warrior
  • Soldier – a disciplined warrior, trained to fight in groups
  • Aristocrat – a wealthy and influential civilian, focusing on intrigue over battle prowess
  • Assassin – a stealthy, secretive killer
  • Elf - agile archers, favoring forests

The Kingdoms:
The world is divided into countless elemental kingdoms, each affiliated with a single element. Each kingdom controls only one Mana Font, making open war between kingdoms a matter of mutually-assured destruction: no kingdom can overwhelm another with only one Mana Font. But ass war approaches, the kingdom have clustered into three different factions, with their own agendas--and making open war a viable option.

NOTE: Players can create their own kingdoms, either to visit or for their own characters’ backgrounds. Just PM the GM the element and details of your particular kingdom.

The Unity Alliance:
An alliance advocating that the kingdoms put aside their long-established differences, and establish a stable world government. Despite their generally noble intentions, they are not above using force of arms to ensure other kingdoms’ cooperation.

Includes:
  • Citadel of Light: affiliated with Light, the Citadel is among the smallest of the kingdoms, composed of a single city-state built around their Mana Font. However, it is quite populous and very wealthy. The Citadel favors magic over technology.
  • Shadow Hunters: affiliated with Darkness, the Hunters are nomadic tribes that inhabit territories east of the Citadel of Light. Their sole permanent settlement guards their Mana Font; those Hunters who live away from the Mana Font hire themselves out as mercenaries.
  • Barren Coasts: affiliated with Water, the Coasts subsist entirely on trade from their many port cities. Although lacking militaristically, they have the resources to finance the Alliance and protect their trade routes.
  • Volcanic Wastes: affiliated with Fire, the Wastes are the empty, blasted lands around a volcanic mountain chain. Their Mana Font is located within those mountains, and may be the most powerful Fire Mana Font in the world. The Wastes exist entirely as a client state of the Citadel of Light, with its citizens dedicated solely to the protection of the Mana Font.
  • Dinmoor: affiliated with Sound, Dinmoor is a kingdom in the marshes east of the Barren Coasts. Unlike the Citadel of Light, Dinmoor focuses on technology, and their capital, home of their Mana Font, is highly advanced.

Federation for Order:
Proponents of maintaining the current world order, of separate, peaceful kingdoms. Pacifistic, the Federation has yet to mobilize any armies, instead using economic and diplomatic might;

Includes:
  • Boreal: affiliated with Air, Boreal is a northern, densely forested kingdom. Its Mana Font is high in the trees, open to the wind, and its capital city is built around it, in the canopy. Its rich forests make it an important trade center for lumber, game, and much more.
  • Fulmont: affiliated with Lightning, Fulmost is a hilly and mountainous region. Like Dinmoor, Fulmont focuses on technology, carefully channeling their Mana Font’s energy as a power source. Its capital is renowned for its shining electric lighting, imitated around the world by other technological kingdoms.
  • Aquana: affiliated with Water, Aquana is another coastal kingdom. Although wealthy from trade like the Barren Coasts, Aquana has the resources to encourage the arts and sciences. Its academies and universities are the best in the world, welcoming both technology and magic.

Empire of the Void:
A dark and sinister alliance, these kingdoms hope to unleash the power of the Void and use it as a substitute for Mana. Though their stated goal is to introduce Mana alternatives, their leaders scheme secretly to recreate all of Infinity.

Includes:
  • Plainsmen of the West: affiliated with Earth, the Plainsmen are strong and hardy. The richness of their home, broad, endless plains, has allowed them to build a mighty kingdom. Large and populous, the Plainsmen are determined to continue expanding beyond the monotony of the plains.
  • Niveo: affiliated with Ice, Niveo is a far southern kingdom, located in high and icy mountains. With a cold and snowy climate, Niveo focuses on mining, exporting precious metals and jewels.
  • Labyrinthine Forests: affiliated with Wood, the Forests are one of the largest in the world. Outsiders are rarely allowed in, and the Forests have earned a terrifying reputation. It is whispered that the Forests themselves are alive and evil.
  • Mirage Riders: affiliated with Illusions, the Riders live to the south of the Plainsmen of the West. Although the Riders have many towns and a handful of cities, many of them remain nomadic, riding throughout the world as mercenaries or bandits.
  • Ferreod: affiliated with Metal, Ferreod is a fairly small kingdom, scarcely larger than the Citadel of Light. Like the Citadel, most of Ferreod’s population lives within single city, its capital. Ferreod’s Mana Font is buried deep underground, and its capital is famous for both its towering skyscrapers of steel and its network of underground tunnels and caverns, where more than half the population lives.

Neutral Kingdoms:
Those few kingdoms which remain unaffiliated with the three factions. Yet war still approaches for them...

Includes:
  • Endoria: (by Aura Sphere) affiliated with Wood, Endoria is a treetop city-state and home to elves. Being very remote, almost no one has ever heard of the place. It's a city of treehouses, with homes, one shop and one school. It's a very tight-knit community, so leaving is almost unheard of.

Rules:
  • Follow all BMGf rules. This includes the obvious ones: be respectful, no spamming, etc.
  • Be active. This is especially important if you’re in a party, as you will slow your party down.
  • Be descriptive. Short posts make for a boring RP. Aim for at least three sentences, maybe even a paragraph.
  • Keep OOC to a minimum. Any major discussion should be in the sign-up thread. Any OOC in the start-up should be game-oriented.
  • No god-modding. Defeating everything effortlessly and solving every problem instantly makes for a very boring RP.
  • Don’t control other players’ characters. This is simply proper procedure in any RP.
  • Listen to the GM. I’m here to keep gameplay going and ensure things don’t go out of control.
  • Read the rules and background information. They’re here for a reason. Reading the entire first post of the sign-up makes gameplay much smoother.

An unknown location...

"Before the Beginning, there was eternity.
Before the Beginning, there was infinity.
Before the Beginning, there was nothingness.
Before the Beginning, there was the Void.
The Void was all, and all was the Void.
The Void was perfection, unchanging and still.
The Void was reality.
Solitary, absolute, divine--
the Void is Fate.
Before the Beginning, and after the End,
there is the Void."


An angry snort, followed by a loud clap as the hooded figure snapped the ancient book shut, a cloud of dust rising from the mistreated pages. "Hey!" the dealer protested. "That's valuable!"

The hooded figure stiffened, then took a step toward the short, pudgy information broker. "Six months of work. A quarter ton of gold. And this is this best you can provide me, dealer?" Though his face and body were well obscured in his cloak--the dealer idly thought it must be Darkness-enchanted as his own heart froze with fear--the figure's voice easily betrayed his rage. The figure advanced once more, and the dealer took a step back, face--already damp with sweat from the stuffy heat of their meeting place--growing even sweatier. The fat man swallowed noisily, quickly scrambling to find an adequate response.

"But, my lord, I, I-" he stammered, "that is to say, these things take time, take money." He backed up another pace, only to find his back pressed against the wall of the chamber, and fell inelegantly on his backside. "I just need a little more time," the terrified man pleaded.

The figure hissed inhumanly, before suddenly drawing a long, slim blade from within his cloak, and plunged it through the dealer's shoulder. The broker screamed, arm burning and freezing simultaneously with pain. Spasming, he choked back his own vomit, tears running down his cheeks. Half-blinded, he glanced at the blade in his shoulder, and screamed internally at the sight of the powerful Darkness curse already infecting his arm.

The hooded figure hissed, "You know how cart-men drive their donkeys, simpleton? It's a simple analogy you humans use. First they dangle a carrot in front of its nose, and it moves forward in its brainless hunger. Then they beat it if it is still too slow." The figure threw the book at the poor broker's face. "Keep this worthless book of poetry. You have six months more."

Gasping, the broker stood shakily. "Then you'll, you'll take this curse off?"

The figure turned its back on him, cloak billowing. It laughed--a horrifying, shrieking sound. "No, dealer. At six months, you die. Whether or not you bring me the information I need--the information on the Void."

Quest: "So, you all meet in a tavern...

In Aquana's capital...

Grimacing, Nathaniel Merum dropped the mug tentatively grasped in his hand on the filthy bar in front of him. "I can't believe I trusted that moron. And he said this was such a reliable method..."

Sighing, he threw a coin on the counter, before making his way out of the hot, smelly tavern. A dirty drunkard stumbled and fell onto his shoulder, already passed-out. Groaning, Nathaniel heaved him more securely over the shoulder, before depositing the drunk at an empty table. Running a hand through his hair, he moved to hurry out. "Now where am I supposed to find some fellow adventurers..."

So, you all meet in a tavern...

Not literally, of course. Cole despised taverns and all they embodied - Drunkenness, pointless fighting, the list went on and on. And yet here he was, passing one of the more "famous" inns in town with the sole purpose of finding someone to adventure with.
 
Quest: "So, you all meet in a tavern...

Toru made his way towards the tavern was he positioned his sword back right. He didn't really enjoy taverns, mostly because it was a potential cause of fight something that might trigger his berserker sight. But something about this one was attracting him for some reason. He noticed someone else that seemed a little undecisive about entering. He looked at him fore a brief second before sighing and making his way inside.

Quest: So you all meet in a tavern


Jaklo sat in a booth towards the back of the tavern while Relak stood idle nearby. He had been hanging around there all day simply pouring over maps. Only a few days prior Jaklo had set out on a hunting trip. In all reality Jaklo was looking more for his brother then for game. He couldn’t get over his leaving. He just walked out on him and his family. Jaklo had to find him and bring him home. Out of all of his siblings Orion, the eldest, was the closest to Jaklo. He was around three and a half years older then Jaklo, and somehow they were like twins. Orion was the one who helped Jaklo perfect archery, taught him herbology, and even helped him out with a life long crush moving away. Jaklo let out a heavy sigh as he reminisced.

“Oh Kay?” Relak asked in his low muffled voice.

“Huh? Oh oh yeah I’m fine. So did Kane really come here to find travelers and adventurers? Yeh know before he made you?” Jaklo replied after coming back into focus.

Relak nodded slowly. Jaklo sighed a little more reassured they’d make some progress. He instantly went back to reading the maps trying to figure out where Orion would have gone.

Quest: So you all meet in a tavern

Cloud strolled along the street, dismayed at the fact that there were few trees to get around in. Eventually he came to a building with a sign that said "Tavern" and two hesitant-looking peple standing outside. "Beg your pardon," he asked the one in possesion of various sharp metal weapons, (OOC: Toru) "what is a tavern?"
 
((Toru went inside, actually.))

Cole sighed, turning to face the clueless elf. "A tavern is basically a place where you pay to get drunk and pay more to pass out on a bed instead of the floor." The least he could do was warn the man away from the bar, after all.
 
Evan ignored the man who was talking to himself. A flyboy for Ferreod, he was often harassed for being a member of their military, despite being drafterd, and wasn't wearing the requisite jacket. Going up to the counter, he ordered an ale.

Quest: You meet in a travern.
 
"Ah. You see, we have none in my kingdom. No one who's left has come back. I plan to be the first." Cloud explained. "The name's Cloud Gondo." he said, extending his hand for Cole to shake.
 
Jaklo began packing up his maps and then climbed out of the booth. Relak grabbed his halberd which was leaned against the wall. He looked down to Jaklo who looked back up to him. Jaklo began walking out and Relak followed suit. Relak had already pulled his magnetic limbs in closer to fit inside the tavern, but to get outside he still had to duck. Relak towered over most anyone. He stood almost twelve feet tall at maximum, but could shrink to a less imposing nine.

Jaklo continued to lead the way trying to find some open space in the cramped capital. Hunter’s Hold was probably twice the size of the capital, but only because it was so spread out. The Hold was built to give ample room for Hunter’s to go about their business without having to leave town. Being a Hunter was a crucial part of the culture. You were trained from a young age to take down the most powerful of beasts and foes. After a very unsuccessful search Relak and Jaklo returned to the tavern. Still craving some entertainment Jaklo walked over to a dart board and started shooting arrows at it.
 
"Dude, you're going to ruin the board." Evan says, as his droid gets him some darts with it's tractor beam. "There's a reason they call it a dart board."
 
"...And? it works just fine for a target. if you prefer I can use a throwing knife though." Jaklo said smuggly.

Relak glared watching the droid. He was both enthrolled and annoyed by the tiny machine. It was an interesting piece of machinery, but ever since he had been reactivated Relak had a deep hate for robots. He may have been made of metal, but he contained a soul, mind, and heart. These little machines were the pathetic attempts of making an inorganic slave.

"May dess troy?" Relak asked in a fragmented metalic voice.

"...Relak how many times do I have to tell you? You can destroy other peoples stuff. Well...unless they're insane or trying to kill us." Jaklo groaned facepalming.
 
"What? It's not doing anything to you." Evan says to Relak, throwing a dart, missing, and taking a drink, as the machine whirrs angrily, the normally blue light that served as a camera turning red.
 
Relak grumbles for a minute aggrivated by the tiny droid, but then a smirk appears on his twisted metal face. The red energy that flows from Relak's chest begins to glow brighter and much more intense. A short range magnetic pulse pulls the droid into Relak's hand. The blast also drained most of the droid's energy. Relak released it with only enough power to stay upright.

"It macking me ticked." Relak laughes in dark bellows.

"Sorry...uh... he sorta had it coming though. The frequency was even making me get a little annoyed. By the way I'm Jaklo. Thats..." Jaklo explained, but Relak interupted.

"I am RELAK. Magna-Golem of Kane." Relak annouces proudly.

"..." Jaklo sighed embaressed by his partner, "I'll buy you a drink."
 
"You shouldn't break other's toys." Evan says coldly to Relak, cradling the machine in his arms like a parent might cradle a child, using his mana to spawn replacement parts, the machine whirring back to life. "Anyway, your machine started it. How would you feel if something asked if it could kill you?"
 
"...aren't you a little old for toys?" Jaklo asked.

Toru comment caught the two of them of guard for a moment.

"I am my own, foolish man" Relak said in disgust of this stranger's question.

"....So how about that drink. Trust me another minute or two and you'll be begging for it." Jaklo said deathly serious.

Jaklo walked over to the barkeeper, pounded on the wooden bar top, and ordered the special ale made only in Hunter's Hold. He slid a tankerd and three glass down the bar handing the glasses out to the guys and giving the tankerd to Relak.

"Come on Relak lighten the mood." Jaklo said with slight chuckle.

Relak rolled his runed eyes and gulped down the entire drink. the liquid fell through Relak's mouth, but floated in the red energy between his head and chest. slowly the Ale worked is way down and it drained inside of Relak's chest through a number of microscopic cracks and seams. Relak let out a massive resounding belch which sounded slightly like a church bell. Jaklo applauded.

"Ever see a golem do that before?" Jaklo asked taking abig swig of his ale.
 
"Hes a nearly five hundred years old ancient warrior who traveled the world with one of the most famous folk heros of all time. He had a hard life." Jaklo said shrugging non-chalantly.

"..." Relak sighed releasing a sound similair to a strong gust, "Yeah lets see how you like losing four hundred and fifty years of your life."

"Come on buddy can keep focusing on that." Jaklo said taking the tankerd from Relak, "Now that I think of it you guys haven't even heard of Relak have you? You two probably don't even know Hunter's Hold." Jaklo laughed to himself realizing he'd been talking about his distant home's history.
