The Tower of the Heavens....
For millennia it has stood silently casting a shadow of mystery and fear over the city. The focus of many myths and legends the unmoving ancient edifice has been the source of many myths and legends, inspiring countless tales of heroism, treachery, and the countless riches said to lie in wait for those who would but seek them out...
Ancient legends state that the tower was built by a nameless Demon King in his bid to wage war on the gods and their servants, man. From the pits of the underworld he constructed a mighty fortress to bridge both sky and land built from pure Adamantium. Filling it with his vast armies he sought to conquer the skies and consolidate his reign. Were it not for the meddling of a band of courageous humans, his blasphemous ambitions would usher in an era of darkness and despair. Climbing to the top of the tower these brave, foolish, heroes did battle with the fearsome Demon King, ultimately felling the arch fiend! It is said that his blood stained the walls of the tower blue, the very color it is today…
Their master defeated, the armies of the Demon King retreated into the cracks and deep places of the fortress, silently awaiting the return of their glorious leader. In the years that have passed mankind has built a glorious civilization at the base of the tower never forgetting the legend of the brave men and women who fought valiantly against the forces of darkness....
Nowadays the tale of Demon King and his horde are said to be nothing more than myth, the stuff of fantasy woven by misguided priests and bored farmers in their huts. Archaeology teams and amateur treasure hunters who have investigated the tower over the years have reported little of interest aside from curious hieroglyphs that line the tunnels and doorways. Linguists have attempted to decipher these curious markings but have made little progress.
Recently, strange seismic activity has awoken something within the ruins of the tower. At night the tower illuminates the night sky with a curious blue glow. Rumors circulate within the universities and streets of strange creature sightings near the tower base and the police department has had its hand full with missing people reports in the weeks since.
While the government has closed off public access to the ruins that has not stopped bands of mystery seekers and amateur sleuths from investigating the place. What will you find inside the Tower of the Heavens? Is it true that the Demon King has returned to once more wage war on mankind? Is there really troves of treasure waiting in the forgotten corners of the ruins? What really lies at the tower top?
Adventure awaits....
(Hello and welcome to my RP! I am your host and game master Feng! ^^
While I've done some posts in the Muffin Room this is my first attempt at a semi-serious RP. I hope those who participate enjoy their time here.
Some of you might notice the storyline is similar to an anime known as the Tower of Druaga. To these astute individuals I say Kudos. I originally wanted to orchestrate a RP directly based off of the series but realized I knew nothing of the game outside of the series. That said I've decided to heavily base (AKA rip off) the story instead to allow more flexibility.
In this RP you start out as a civilian from the city investigating the tower. As time progresses you will eventually step into a world of fantasy and myth as you fight through the forces of evil. So in a way its kind of based off that one Dungeons and Dragons cartoon as well only with TG added to the mix. =P
At this point those interested in participating need only introduce their character in their first post. Please include your character's name, description (the more detailed the better ), gender, and reasons for exploring the tower.
For those entering once the RP has gotten in motion, please send me a PM so I can work you into the storyline.
Thanks! ^^
