Purgatory | A Mythical Creature Roleplay | Accepting Hunters

[Wormgod]

We need Hunters.
These pictures do not belong to anyone who is using them.

A long time ago, there was only one plane of existence. It was called Mundus, where everything was born, lived, and died. Humans, animals, and mythics lived. However, the world was not in peace. Humans and mythics hunted eachother, whether to live--as the vampires need blood, and all sorts of hunters need money--or for pure sport. No matter how much the mythics fought back, the humans were winning by a landslide. Several species went completely extinct. That's when the wizards stepped into action.

The wizards are the highest and most powerful council outside of England's medieval government. Whatever they say, goes, unless you have a death wish. So when they told everyone to stop fighting, everyone stopped fighting. Those ten wizards gathered the most powerful mythics and sacrificed themselves to create an entirely new plane called Purgatory. This plane was a haven for the mythics, and every single one flocked there for safety.

That was five hundred years ago. Now, a group of ancestors of the first mythic killers--named Human Hunters--found a way to break open the door to Purgatory. With this portal came hundreds of humans, determined to capture, kill, and use whatever creatures they can get their hands on and sell for the highest bidder. But now, the mythics might have a chance at winning. Will they win, or are they doomed to die?

General Rules:

These are the rules of every roleplay. I expect you to read these thoroughly.

Tess' Rules Apply.

This is a semi-lit RP. That means great grammar, punctuation, and six full sentences minimum.

I do not want any OOC cluttering this RP. If you need to talk to me or another RPer, use PMs. If you are posting, that means you have something relevant to this RP; aka a form or a post for the RP. If you want to reserve a spot, send me a PM, do not ask on the RP.

Genders need to be close, but not perfectly even. I do not expect you to make a second character just to keep the gender ratio even. I will keep track of the ratio, but only for people who really want to make another character and for new members who want to join.

No powerplaying, godmodding, Mary Sues, or Gary Sues. I will not accept you if your character is anything close to a Mary Sue.

I can and will accept, not accept, or ban when needed.

I love violence, romance, and cursing. I love it when someone spices up a roleplay with a good ol' fashioned fight, someone gets hurt, and that person curses. That is exactly what would happen in real life if you got in a fight and received a good uppercut. However, I do not like it when someone throws out a racial slur, or, on the other end of the cycle, when someone freaks out of "Oh my god." If you can't handle cursing, or if you simply love cursing too much, don't join.

To add to the violence and romance above...Not too much violence. PG-13 violence. Also, no connections whatsoever within your characters, or instant romances. I hate it when someone starts out a roleplay confessing their love to some other person's character. I also hate it when someone creates two characters that are married, or siblings, or lovers.

More rules will be added when needed.

Hunter and Mythic Rules:

The Hunters are all human. Period.

Hunters do not make deals with Mythics. Period.

A mythic cannot be a demon, angel, demigod, god, or extremely disturbing creature. PM me if you want to make a creature that might count as "extremely disturbing."

No Hunter is invincible. No Mythic is invincible.

Mythics cannot be your own creations. They have to follow some legends somewhere. You can, however, tweak the legends a little.

More rules will be added when needed.

Items:

Magical Items used for various reasons. We will make these up as we go, but here are some popular ones.

Black Cat Bones: These are a popular item that witches make, but it is disturbing. You take a black cat and boil it under the moonlight until only the bones are left. These bones, when held, will allow the wearer to become invisible for an hour at a time. Each bone only works ten times, so there is a high demand. The cat cannot be a talking cat or a familiar, or the spell will not work.

Bezoar: A popular item. The bezoar is a mass, usually a stone, found in the gastrointestinal system. Bezoars neutralize any and all poisons. These are used to make goblets and soup bowls for those who worry about being poisoned.

Cockatrice Eye: The eye of a cockatrice, the child of a poisonous snake and a rooster's egg, causes anyone caught in the gaze to feel nausea and terror. The retinas can be used as eyeglass lens and can reveal any lie.

Setting:

The Plains: The Plains make up most of central Purgatory. They are filled with streams, ponds, and lakes that all have their origins in the Jerral Mountains. Nearly all hooved creatures are found here.

Jerral Mountains: A ring of mountains that start in the far north and trace along the eastern edge of the Plains. They are filled with frozen creatures, from ice golems to frost dragons, and even rumors of sabre toothed cats. The River starts here.

The River: The River is huge. It starts as a small stream from the highest peak in the Jerral Mountains, but quickly it transforms into a gigantic waterfall--bigger than Niagara Falls--that falls into a huge set of underground caves formed by the water and magma from a caldera. The heat turns the River into stream, and it reaches the surface once more as geysers at the edge of the Plains and a few sections of the Highlands. From the Plains geysers into turns into a river once more, snaking through the land, turning into streams and lakes and ponds until it finally ends in the Black Forest.

The Colovian Highlands: The Colovian Highlands resemble the highlands in Ethiopia. Sulfur lakes, sun-bleached skeletons, and salt flats fill this giant landmass to the east of the Jerral Mountains. The air is more poisonous the farther one traverses into this horrible place. One can find whole herds of Cockatrice and Wyverns, both known as poisonous creatures, here.

The Black Forest: Named after a forest in Germany which it strongly resembles. This forest makes up the western half of Purgatory. The sun cannot penetrate all the way through, allowing sun-weakened creatures to live without fear. Only the strongest creatures can live here without being killed by the darker things, like fairies or vampires.

The Ocean: Has no real name. The ocean surrounds all of Purgatory. There is no end to its water; a dragon tried to fly over the ocean, starting at the western shores. In three days he was found at the eastern shore with no memory of his journey. Mermaids and the like live here.

None, so far. I would appreciate it if someone can make a banner, or maybe a map...I'm not good with that stuff that requires a thinker-thingy.

Username:
Wormgod
Name:
Artyom
Species:
Vodyanoy, sometimes called Vodnik, or to the Nords, Havmannen.
Species Description:
Unlike their female counterparts, this species of merman is not pretty. Vodyanoys are described as dirty men, covered in algae and green or black scales. They are usually unshaven and wear clothing at least twenty years out of style and are constantly wet when they are not in the water. They are nearly always angry spirits and reside in one particular pond, lake, or stretch of river.

Vodyanoys like to ride along logs and float along their territory, watching for unruly fishermen. They are the guardians of their water and protect over every creature in their area. They do not share their territory with other mythical creatures. When human fishes in their are without giving a gift first (alcohol, tobacco, and sometimes baby fish.) they will use their power (hydrokinesis) to get revenge on that person. They collect the souls of their victims in small porcelain cups hidden at the deepest point in their water. These cups symbolize how powerful they are; the more the better.

Saltwater is poisonous to them. If that isn't an option, a hunter can trap them away from water and wait for them to dry.
Gender:
Male
Age:
300 in reality. He appears to be twenty-five.
Appearance:
Artyom is pretty average for a merman. In his real form, he is fiveteen feet long, and twelve feet is all tail. The tail is huge, dark blue-green in color, and covered in algae. The fins themselves make up most of its length. His torso appears small in comparison. Small fins cover the outside of his arms, and large, elf-like ears stick out of his head. His eyes are pure black and glossy like a fish, and his mouth is full of sharp teeth. Unlike the picture, though, he has three feet of hair that is made of kelp and algae. Small gills line his neck.

In his human form, Artyom looks pretty much the same. The only notable difference is his legs. He still has the fins, gills (he can breathe air, but only for short periods) and is dripping wet. He only wears breeches and a boater hat.
