"Have you read about the stone-faced criminal in all the papers? He's wanted for murdering his mother, his father, his two brothers, and every single person in his extended family. He disappeared soon after the murders. Now he's the only one that remains with his family's blood. It flows through him and stains his hands." "Why'd he do it?" "No reason." "Then why bother telling me about it?" "To make a point. There are people out there who have frost flowing through their veins. An angry man coming at you with a knife is not nearly as frightening as one who comes at you with an uncaring, unfettered look on his face. There are very few men that can be so cruel and lacking of emotion. But... finding a cold, cold heart is not so difficult when you look to the Elder Gods. When you have all the power you want, when you've lived for eternities and watched the death of past Universes, you stop taking an interest in life. You stop caring." "Then what do you gods do for fun?" "Sometimes we like to make lame jokes. That's actually how your planet came about." "How hurtful. You're no different from the other Elder Gods." "I know. We all have a heart of ice."

A Heart of Ice Mildly comedic, mildly depressing, and set in a somewhat modern fantasy world.
Table of Contents 1) World 2) Gods 3) Races 4) Starting Weapons 5) Rules and Character Sheet 6) Credits

1) World There have been several Universes, each one created by the Elder Gods. These beings drift carelessly, bringing both destruction and creation to the places they go. Some care not about the fates of mortals. Others actively meddle in these lesser affairs, forming pacts or simply driving people insane. As each Universe dies, either by the sting of time or the wrath of the Gods, another eventually takes its place. Each Universe is vastly different from the last, but there is always one constant: the planet Zephyr and the races that eventually inhabit it.
The land of Restora, beneath its exterior of wondrous architecture, beautiful natural scenes, and freedom from international conflict, hides a brewing conspiracy. Over the past years, Queen Madeline has grown indifferent to, and neglected the poor of her country. While her husband was still alive, she was the voice of the downtrodden. She worked day and night to make sure even those in poverty could have enough bread to survive. Now though, her heart has become like ice, and her previous profound acts of charity have been forgotten. Those who once loved her for her kindness now seek to overthrow her for her neglect.
And yet, the newfound troubles of Restora do not end there. With large-scale conflicts starting in the surrounding nations, horrible creatures have been forced out of their natural habitats and have managed to find new homes in this kingdom. These monsters prey on the intelligent races that inhabit Restora and have given rise to monster hunters who track down and kill these beasts. Perhaps it's right they do this. After all, these monsters all seem to act like savage animals. Or, perhaps, these monsters are simply a reflection of ourselves.
Restora is your home, or maybe it's just one of many destinations on your journey through life. Regardless, Restora is where you're currently spending your days. It's the summer now. The sun is always high and shining down on this nation, illuminating the troubles that were once barely perceptible. Whether you're a conspirator working to overthrow the queen, a hunter of monsters, a mercenary for hire, or a simple farmer, Restora is full of danger these days. If you aren't careful, you may come face-to-face with death. Or, even worse, you may cease to care about life itself.

2) Gods These are not the Elder Gods that created the Universe. Rather, these gods were once regular people or animals who, by some method or another, ascended to godhood. They are more often worshiped in regular and official capacities, as opposed to the Elder Gods which are usually worshiped by strange cults that enjoy bloodsports, but with talismans. Though these are not all of the gods, these are the most well-known and widely worshiped.
The Dead Monarch: A colossal, unmoving skeletal being, shrouded in darkness and seated in an equally massive throne in the catacombs of a castle somewhere. The Monarch speaks through telepathy and subconscious suggestion. The Monarch will give you tasks in return for strange and unique gifts. The story of this strange lumbering being has been lost to time, and nobody has ever been brave enough to ask.
Malcolm: Ancient scripts write of a certain god of fertility and love known only as 'Malcolm'. Shrines to this ancient entity range back hundreds of thousands of years, crafted entirely of smooth carved stone and thatch. Those who follow this god are often seen trying to indoctrinate others by encouraging them to change their names and having them assist in feeding small pieces of rock and mineral to the various statues of Malcolm.
Father: Also known as The Allfather, The Giving Father, or The Deity. He is a vast and mysterious being, heavily worshiped in many circles, that gives power to those who don't seek it and none to those who do. He is often depicted as a vague muscular man with a beard, a sword, or both. He is said to have given birth himself to The Son, his equally powerful yet vastly angst ridden kid who threw himself in a furnace to protest his dad or something. The scriptures are very poorly translated. Yet it's said that his screams of "I never asked to be born!" can still be heard to this day.
Aryssa: A sapient goldfish that lives in a small fishbowl in an aquarium. There's a sign directly outside her bowl that reads "display only." This sign has been there for over one thousand years. Aryssa offers life advice to all who come to her, in exchange for fish flakes being shaken into her bowl.
Moogle: Also known as Mark or Addled. He looks like an ordinary man and very few are able to recognize him for who he is. He possesses an extreme amount of power, but rarely ever uses it because he thinks he might be burned at the stake by the followers of other deities. It's believed that he's currently working at a store, trying to pay off his student debts. His following is strictly limited to people on the Gridnet, where he uploads videos of himself playing old video games, his face never being seen but his voice always being heard.

3) Races Censored. http://pastebin.com/7iPk7cWV
---
4) Starting Weapon Your choice of starting weapon does not limit what you can do. For example, a swordsman can still learn to wield magic or fire a gun.
Worn Greatsword: A large, two-handed blade. Deals great damage and has great range, but takes time and energy to swing and is not fast enough to parry or block faster attacks. Being a heavy weapon, it also slows down your own movement when it's drawn.
Weathered Longsword: A one-handed blade that has good range and attacks swiftly. It's a very versatile melee weapon that can be used to block, parry, slash, and stab. It doesn't limit your movement very much.
Rusty War Axe: A brutal one-handed axe. Not so good for stabbing or performing any defensive maneuvers, but its slashing attacks often lead to it becoming lodged into the enemy and causing bleeding. Its lighter weight allows you to move quickly, your movement not being hindered at all. It may also be used to cause tetanus in poor people who can't afford medical aid.
Dusty Rifle: A semi-automatic rifle that holds a 6-round magazine. It doesn't fire or reload too quickly, its bullets aren't of a particularly powerful caliber, and it's not too accurate (especially considering its rather shoddy iron sights). Regardless, it's a gun and is enough to kill a man from range.
Rotting Bow: A basic longbow made from a piece that came from a tree and some string that came from a store. Though it's not as powerful as a firearm, it doesn't require long pauses to reload, arrows can be used as melee weapons, it's completely silent, and arrows can be retrieved and re-used.
Tattered Spellbook: A magical item that acts as a conduit for spells. It usually hangs off the user's belt and doesn't actually need to be pulled out or opened to use. It transfers its spells and magical properties from its front and back cover to the user's hands, where the spells may then be casted. The power of spells relies on both the caster and the quality of the spellbook. Spells may be cast without the spellbook, but they're often weaker as a result. The pages are actually blank, since the magic is stored in the covers. Many mages use the pages for doodles or journal entries. This spellbook comes with three spells loaded into it. -Magic Missile -Weak Heal -Minor Shield
---
5) Rules and Character Sheet -This is an ISRP. You control only your character and their actions, nothing else. -Try to make your responses two lines, at the very least, bare minimum. It's okay if you can't do that for every post. I will never reply to one-word posts. -If you die, you may choose to create a new character. -Other basic RP rules.

Sorry faction.
It's your fault for picking the lesser spelling of guerilla to place in your name though. |

Hey man, nice format. It looks a lot like the format that I've been using for years. Oh, right, that's because that is the format that I've been using for the past two years! A handful of paragraphs before the table of contents on occasion, no spaces between the lines on the Table of Contents, [number]) [space] [chapter name] as the format on the table of contents, things are in roughly the same order as how I order them (just renamed slightly) and you even included Credits at the very end, a thing which I haven't seen on any RPs before Siege of Dorthol or on anyone else's RPs up until now!
Also thanks for reminding me that you brag about sleeping with your sister, I had almost forgotten. It is still very disgusting and I hope that hell is real so that you can rot in it for that. |
