A New Enemy Emerges.


Recommended Posts

(OOC) 

 

To start off I have finally decided that I plan on making two characters, a villain and a normal adventurer who will be my main. I also am hoping to start a story in which the whole RP community will be able to participate in and eventually carry over into ARR once open beta begins. This story will not be an obvious one as to not give to much away and hope that you all might *investigate* the situation ICly from and IC information given that your characters would have access to.

 

 

Here is the forum RP for this story. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=1891

It's morning in Limsa Lominsa, the birds are singing and the ports lively with people, but something seems strange in the air. Something dark and ominous is stirring, many sensitive with magic would be able to feel it. As people walk the streets they can see soldiers on chocobos heading towards the outside of the city in a hurry, many begin to wander and many more worry of what might be happening. A herd of people head to the gates but are only to be sent back the other way by soldiers who will not let anyone pass without authorization until an all clear is given.

 

As the soldiers get to the destination they begin to keep people away, it seems like such a random spot with only a large boulder in the middle. A soldier, who appears to be the one in charge, calls over to a mage who was travelling with them and begins to speak with him and pointing at the boulder. The mage begins to study the boulder, his face writ with confusion. As a curious traveller passes by he seems to be able to make something out on the boulder, a magical rune seems to of been placed there as well as a message underneath. 

 

A few hours pass and the all clear is given for people to safely pass in and out of the city gate. As people pass by the area with the boulder they can see that soldiers still have it under lock down. Mages appear to be trying to disenchant the rock but it is to no prevail. A little bit after the all clear a note was posted in the adventurers message board by a man who was able to see what the message on the rock was. It said....

 

[align=center]*The god has risen, broken from his chains and torment. Rise brothers and sisters for the time has come. Bahamut beckons to us to follow and if we follow we will know greatness, if we follow we will know power, if we follow the world will be ours for the taking. Now rise and serve the one true god.*[/align]

Well that is the first part of the story, the very beginning. If you all want to start a forum RP on the subject to discuss with others until the open beta, well, that would be awesome. Tell me what you think, you can post OOC replies if you like, and there will be more to come.

OOC: A forum RP sounds fun! I also suggest an IM RP over programs like Skype, Gmail, or AIM, if you wanted a faster paced RP - especially if there will be more than three people participating. Forum RPs tend to get very cluttered if there are too many participants.

((I think the majority of people who are time-warpers are waiting until open beta at the earliest to be "back" ICly for RP, since we don't know what happened, yet. This varies, of course.))

To Aysun: I see, well in that case this story will be taking place shortly before they are back.

 

In the RP thread for this story, maybe make up a character to RP in it, one that you don't plan on making in game, at least for fun. You do not have to use any of your main characters that you play in the game to RP in my thread.

A ship comes into port, it looks damaged, and it seems like half the crew is gone. When the port officials talk to the last of the crew they were told that they were attacked. It wasn't pirates or Garleans that attacked them, but a gigantic creature that was double the size of the boat. The crew said that the creature was long and lanky, that it wrapped itself around the boat and picked off the crew, one by one. The captain of the boat thought the creature just had its fill of the men of his boat and left, the only reason why they are still alive. The port officials did not believe them at first due to that ship only have gone 20 miles off and a ses creature of that size has never before been seen so close. As the investigation when on a rumor spread around town saying that the creature is being drawn closer to shore by the rune that mysteriously appeared. The investigation did turn up evidence of a creature attack and shut the case as solved.

 

Weeks go by since the incident with the ship and all seems peaceful until a man shows up in town. The man is dressed in all black robes, a strange symbol on his necklace. He walks to the center of town, near where many people gather and sets up a box. The man hops onto the box and begins yelling towards the crowds of people....

 

[align=center]*The time has come brothers and sisters of Bahamut, we must rise to his call.[/align]

[align=center]The one true god who showed us his wrath when he returned because of us worshiping false gods. He showed us his wrath but then showed us mercy by letting are existence continue, do you not see that he is giving us another chance. Do not squander this by worshiping such false idols, brothers and sisters, I beg you to do the smart thing and renounce them and serve the Lord Bahamut.*[/align]

 

 

The man stayed there preaching for about an hour until soldiers came and began to take him away. As the man was being taken he smiled, a moment later a rune appears on his clothes and his body explodes, killing the few soldiers that came to take him away. The crowd of people go into a panic and begin to run around and scream. It takes a few hours for the army to take control of the situation. It appears this group may be more dangerous than even thought.

I don't think part 2 is the best as to what I could do but I think you guys would of enjoyed it. I added a bit more mystery to the story and I do hope to see my RP thread on this story really take off. Again, please do give feedback on what you think, would greatly appreciate it.

The ship finally arrived in Limsa Lominsa. Saevio staggered off and promptly threw up. Again. Everyone jumped away from the violently sick Hyur. Nobody wanted vomit on their shoes. He had spent the entire trip either heaving over the side or seeming to have a one sided argument with the air. No one dared approach him.

 

Having emptied everything he had eaten ever, Saevio sighed with relief and strolled up to the city.

"I don't care Imago. I'm not doing that. Where should we ask first? The Adventurer's Guild? Fine. I might be able to keep something down now."

 

The aromas that permeated the Guild were ambrosia after being so sick. He rushed up to the counter and ordered. He sat down and started in on his food. Suddenly his head jerked up and he looked towards the bulletin board.

 

"Stop shouting. I can hear you just fine as you well know. What is it?"

He approached the board and read the mysterious message. "So? Just a bunch of weirdos playing silly buggers with everyone. Leave it alone." He walked back to his food, tilted his head, and nodded. "Fine. Just let me finish. Stop yelling! Swearing at me won't do any good."

 

He finished his meal, flinching every few minutes like things were being thrown at him. He left with everyone staring at him. He blushed furiously the entire time out.

   The city of Limsa Lominsa goes on high alert and issues a curfew for everyone that is not a guard of official. After the explosion of the preacher, anyone found supporting, talking about, or spreading rumors are brought in for questioning. As the days go by people seem to be getting back to their regular schedules a group of five men appear at the city gate. The men are all wearing the same thing as the preacher and are immediately arrested with great care of course, they give no resistance. Their hands are bound and mouths gagged as the soldiers escort them back to a jail cell with magical properties. Hours pass by with no incident until the five men, still robed, are all seen walking out freely of the jail.

 

   As word spreads of the men going free, the streets get less and less crowded. Notes show up everywhere around town issued by the officials themselves saying how the five men are not here to cause harm. Citizens of Limsa are outraged that they would release them so quickly and decide that after what had just happened and some even find it suspicious. The men are seen talking to citizens that are either stupid enough or brave enough to get close to them, talking about how great Bahamut is, and how merciful he is. A lynch mob forms.....

 

   As the mob grows bigger and obviously more angry, soldiers are positioned to keep the mob in one place and try to calm the crowd down while others are stationed around the five men. As the day goes by the mob seems to begin to dissipate after a while and the streets become calm once more, it seems this city is becoming possibly one of the most dangerous cities to live in.

I'm interested in joining this but alert: fairly new RP-er here, and I'm not sure what to do. I have a few questions:

 

1. Can I just immediately "join in the fray", so to speak? For example, right now Uruvion is heading towards the warehouse to meet the man in black robes, where I assume something interesting would happen. Can I write my character to happen to be in that warehouse at that time? Or should I wait until my character is "invited" like how the black-robed man approached Uruvion in the bar?

 

2. Is there any rule about how long or short a post should be?

Welcome to Myal, glad to see more people getting interested in RP, especially mine. To answer your questions....

 

1. Your character can be in the area at the time, just take note unless you're invited there is a high chance that you will have no clue what is going on at all. Other than that, yea, being in the area or coming across it by accident is perfectly fine.

 

2. There is no rule as to how long posts can be, I just ask not to make it confusing when talking to someone. Say, you're talking to someone and you ype what you say and then type three paragraphs after wards with more things you say to the person, can be a little confusing.

A news post was put up on the bulletin in the adventures guild as well as other guilds and shops about the murders of three robed cultists and that of a young child. It goes on to say that it appears the men were legally and harmlessly recruiting the child when a couple outsiders came and just started the massacre them, a trustworthy witness tells. We urge all citizens to be on the lookout for anyone suspicious and to report it immidently.

I didn't to much for this part and this will be the last one for a while. At this point I would like for the RP to take on it's own course in the RP thread for this story and in the game itself once it launches, I hope you enjoyed it and even more so hope you will join us in the thread "Investigation into the Runes" for some awesome RP.
