Okay, I was bored and I wanted to start a new RPG, and I just kind of formed this idea. I hope you guys will like it :)

Plot:

The small kingdom of Riveria has flourished for eons in peace. All of the races have thrived together in harmony. All through the years, the Great Ones, seven spiritual entities, watched and occasionally involved themselves in the affairs of the occupants of Riveria, keeping the land peaceful and prosperous. They selected a council of 11 mages who would rule over Riveria under the Great Ones’ direction. To these mages, the Great Ones bestowed immortality and unthinkable magical power. But many years after a bleak dreariness fell over the land, and it seemed as if the hands of the Great Ones had been withdrawn. Creatures of gruesome evil that were before unimaginable to the occupants of Riveria began to appear seemingly out of nowhere. At first they lived quietly in the forests and wild lands surrounding the kingdom, preying only on those foolish enough to venture over the borders. Gradually they became more bold, and now anyone who leaves the shelter of their home at night, and increasingly in daylight, risks the chance of being attacked. But possibly the worst effect of the apparent disappearance of the Great Ones was the dwindling power of the mages. The 11 mages, who had done the Great Ones’ work for centuries, were beginning to lose their potency. They began to age almost rapidly and grow ill. They began to die off. As the mage who had once been the most powerful and first on the council lay dying in his bed, he had a vision. It confirmed what had been their belief. The Great Ones had been taken by some evil and were now lost to their reach. This sent unspeakable fear through all the mages hearts, for who could be powerful enough to best the Great Ones? In his vision, the dying mage also saw that death would come to all the mages quickly, and that before that happened they needed to choose 11 out of the occupants of Riveria to seek out the Great Ones and discover what had taken them. With what remained of their power, they would give to these 11 chosen gifts of magic that would better prepare them to face what evil that came. The 10 remaining mages watched as their one time leader drew his last breath, but with that last breath he whispered, “The Archfiend!” His eyes widened in fear, and then he was gone. The 10 remaining mages could only gather that as he was dying he had had another brief glimpse into what was going on, and he had seen who was responsible for the evil that had befallen them. Realizing they did not have time to further investigate that which they probably were not likely to be enlightened on, they set about to finding the 11 chosen ones. Even in their weakened state, they traveled the land of Riveria searching for those worthy enough for the task at hand. They chose not for age or experience, but for those who would stay true to the task and whose hearts were pure. When at last the 11 were chosen, the mages that were left (only three at this point) gave their lives to the task of giving them magical abilities. Then the 11 who were chosen, with their new powers, set off. They first went to the capital city, Talatia, the place that had for so long been the home of the mages. They went to the great library in the palace and researched for countless hours, looking for anything that stated something about Great Ones and more importantly one called the ‘Archfiend.’ They find that the Archfiend is the Keeper of Souls in the Underworld. He draws his power from taking the spirits of the dead to his home in the Underworld. After doing more research, the chosen ones decide that they must go to The Grainayar, a barren and desolate wasteland past the borders of Riveria, for they learn that the word ‘grainayar’ in the Ancient Tongue means ‘portal.’ Could this place be the portal to the Archfiend’s Underworld home and more importantly the holding place of the Great Ones?

Optional Races:

Humans
Elves
(These can be either on the side of good or evil.)

Mutants- normal beings of Riveria who have been mutilated and changed. They now appear to be mixes between humans or elves and beasts.
Wraiths- these are the spirits of the most wicked beings that the Archfiend sends forth to do his work (think ghosts and evil spirits).
Demons- these appear normal, aside from their sickly pale skin and their blood red hair. They are the top servants of the Archfiend.
(These are only evil.)

Optional Magical Powers:

Telekinesis
Telepathy
Shapeshifting
Healing
Mind control
Weather manipulation
Water manipulation
Fire manipulation
Earth manipulation

If you can think of anything else in this category, let me know. I just listed some powers right off the top of my head, but I’m open to others if you think of them.

Needed Characters:

0 Chosen
Evil beings (Demons and Mutants or elves and humans who have turned to the dark side.)

Later, the Great Ones will come into play, and we can play them, but I will let you all know when we need them.

Avhraina (chosen)- Raven Sparrow
Ryvarn (chosen)- Raven Sparrow

Woo, okay, sorry that was so long! Forgive me if I didn’t explain something well or if I was a bit incoherent, I have a tendency to do that at times. Feel free to ask me any question either on here or through pm. I also apologize for any typos; it's late and there are bound to be a few.

Anyways, I hope you join! :-D

Great! :-D

Hmm... I think I'm going to up the number of chosen ones so people can have more than one character if they wish... I can always bring it back down if not enough people join.

Okay, I changed the number to 10, so that leaves 8 available spots.

I'll join up, as a chosen if possible.

Due to the amount of coursework I have, I might not post as much as others and may have to drop out, but I'd love to be involved if you'd have me. :happy:

Okay you all can join. I upped the amount of chosen ones so you'll all have a spot.

Caunion- :duh: so sorry m8, I'll post in that right away. Oh, and I'm assuming you want your character to be one of the chosen?

Este- That's ok. Just let me know if you don't think you'll be able to participate anymore.
