The Path-Forsaken Mages [Sign-Up]

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

Okay this RP is one I thought would be interesting. Coder might recognize it, but it has other influences toooooo.

It’s got a story (don’t worry I can’t abandon that), but its focused on progression of players.

Its going to be structured in stages, getting progressively more challenging.

At the end of the stage, a “nameless” deity will offer you a variety of powers, from which you will pick one.

Setting will be a moderately temperate, warmer/more humid place. You’ll be trekking a little bit, so this will change. It’ll be vaguely eastern.

Before this, your character was marked as heretic for one reason or another (you can come up with that), and was forced on the Pilgrimage.

You have some reason for going on the pilgrimage other than being forced, which involves a mysterious voice promising you something (up to you) as a reward for your pilgrimage.

Character sheet or not, you can choose

youll start with a choice between three powers in the actual rp, but create them without magic

oh my god are you gonna make an ORV clone?

I tried that once, and lets just say, the first scenerio just didn't work out.

And it is different from it

it just feels a wee bit similar

The deity, which takes the form of a disembodied voice for now, promises you something at the end of the pilgrimage. What do you want that to be?

oh i was actually thinking that the dragon might just be entirely fictional, or the dragon is real and everyone can see it

It would be entirely fictional, but the deity knows that you don’t know that.

The deity is real.

Forced along in the beginning, but it’s a pilgrimage

There’s nothing stopping him from leaving the trail

Is there no magical binding they could cast on us?

Maybe his body is rotting and only through the pilgrimage may he be saved?

There is none

Hmmm

That would fit the theme, I was planning on some sort npc that was similar

He could have some chronic sickness, that would be closer. Not a plague sort of thing, but smt long term.
