Ari Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 What: Master Mage Adrian Eldrich, in a ludicrous display, loses one of his manifold off-screen battles with monstrous, mystical madmen from beyond the veil! Not only is he conquered, but his body is turned into a facile puppet and his soul enslaved! Said conqueror(their identity unknown) promptly rolls into the World of Freedom, seizing the mystic reins unseen and and directing the dimension's very essence into one more suited to their will. They masquerade as the good-hearted magus to the rest of the dimension, but bit by bit, enough pieces fall out of alignment(weird things happening to physics when 'Eldrich' is supposedly fighting otherwordly beings; powers, people, places or memories altering at seeming random for the smallest fractions of seconds), enough clues are found by the wary or specially-attuned, for a smattering of Earth's denizens to realize something is very wrong. And that larger changes are soon to come. The thread starts with the rebels first banding together and pooling their discoveries, in conjunction with a rare public address by 'Eldrich'... Who: 3-5 PCs, PL open, no theme necessary. Alternate takes on said PCs welcomed. How: That's largely up to the players once they've gotten a game plan. Taking the fight to the Dark Lord, gathering support and power by public words and deeds, seeking aid from beyond Earth or the physical world, even pretending to ally themselves with the two-faced sorcerer, the options are all open. Depending on how play goes, it can skew anywhere from being a massive brawl against the forces of world-warping evil, a subtler, skill-focused game or anything in between or outside those boundaries.
Ecalsneerg Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Equinox, as Eldrich's old apprentice, would be up for this. Also because apparently you're one of like 2-3 people who know it's not Eldritch
Avenger Assembled Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Don't forget to get BB into a 'real' thread as well, Val, since otherwise her debut story will be one that won't actually be connected to anything else.
Ari Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Avenger speaks the truth! And thank you Valcili and Ecal for the interest. Also of note Valcili, non-canon posts count for half of a normal post. So if you posted 20 times in this one in a month, and 20 times in a canon thread, you would only be counted as having posted 30 times that month. It's one of the reasons non-canon threads are so rarely done. Edited June 19, 2014 by Arichamus
Valcili Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Well at this point I am not really interested in attaining as many points as I can in a months time. As I am still new to this PbP thing I think just having the opportunity to post and gain anything for doing so is good enough for me. I just hope I don't need to have a canon appearance before doing a non-canon. Edited June 19, 2014 by Valcili
Ari Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 No, that is not necessary. Though it is customary for characters first to have attachments to canon PCs, it's not required to do other kinds of threads.
Valcili Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I think I should be ok in regards to this, as I joined your "WYRM grows not to dragon...(Claremont Recruitment drive)" thread. so I'll be potentially running both in pparallel.
Brown Dynamite Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Will also put my interest to include Foreshadow in this little soiree.
April Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Well, I found my motivation to finish Una's daughter.
Ari Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Thank Gnosticism!God. I was getting worried for a bit there that she'd never happen! :)
