The Beginning


This is an entire different universe from the mutiverse. No god nor deity of any power sway the balance at this place. The universe itself rejects supernature beings. The reason is untold, and it is up to you to unfold it.

Millions of years ago, all races lived together, but not co-exist in peace. Wars waged every second. Two main species were the humans and the daemons. One possessed the virtures, another the power. Daemons, by nature, were not beings of darkness, however, they could gain powers by devouring other beings, or drain their lives. Given their ageless lives, it was predictable that the daemons eventually dominated the world.

The daemons believed in a power-hierrache structure(sp), therefore the strongest voice counts. A dark tournament was held in the secret land of Duke to resolve the conflicts between the daemons and the humans. Six strongest daemon warriors challenged six most powerful humans. The final battle was won by the human, Aers Darkon, who mastered all three energies that flowed through the universe to defeat the daemon lord Lae'ton.

Thus began the creation of the mutiplanes, as species were divided into three groups, each was contained in its respective plane.

The daemons and all daemonic creatures roamed the outter planes of Zerus'Kaar

The outter plane of Efil'retfa that hosts the dead and all other beings powered by the dark energy

And the outter plane of Zerus'tori of the mysterious land where unknown beings reside

And at last, is the inner mutiplane of Lunar, where all three planes overlaping eachother. A boundary was created along the border of the mutiplane. The terminals were set by Aers Darkon, allowing the humans, as later called Lunarians, live in flourished peace for centuries to come...


OOC: Alas, this is my first attempt of world creation! this is not Forgotten Realm, or mutiverse in that sense. magic, if there is such a thing in the mutiplanes, does not function the same as it does everywhere else. No supernature beings reside in this world, thus eliminating the clerical/priestial power.

There is O'lar, aka portals, opening towards each plane from Lunar. By rule, no outer plane being is allowed to function it. There were exception, however.

Daemons are not tannaris or deamons in Abyss. They are rational beings, capable of experiencing all emotions like a human does. It is true though, that most daemons have a tendency of becoming 'evil' for they do not die as ages evolve. They could gain power by devouring other beings, particularly humans, and that is up to their rational choice.

Daemons do not have a general outlook. They could be just like a humanbeing, or they could look like a plant. All daemons possess abnormal ability/abilities.

Daemons are divided by ranks according to their power. The ruling daemon is ranked S, those are the ancient, bizzare, fierce of their kins. Only an extremely few reached such stage.

The other ranks are: A, B, C and D. from the most powerful to the least.

Lunarians in the sense of daemon ranking are far less powerful. (Few could even reach C, fewer still B) They do, however, possess energies that flow through the planes. There are three types of energies. One powers each plane, and all three balance each other out. Only once the control of the three were achieved through out the history, it was by Aers Darkon the Creator.

There are a few daemons stumbled into Lunar, the reasons were not known. Those were generally hunt down by the Lunarians before they do any damage.

Forgotten Realm races such as elf, dwarf, halfling, human sometimes do rander into the mutiplanes. (If they landed in the outter plane, alas, best of luck) Those were tolerated, in some place even welcomed, by the Lunarians. Marriage is widely forbidden however, there do exist the belief of the "purity" of the Lunarian race.

Lunarians looked just like humans. The only difference is that they could possess, or be possessed in case of dark energy, the planes' energy. Few could develope the control of them.

There is no specific class yet, all players are distict according to their abilities and the energy that they possess

The Aerial Energy is the energy of Creation and Light:
A being can link himself to the plane and summon the energies and shape it for his use. The way and dense of energy he summons heavily depend on his potential and level.
Aerial Energy can be used to power up planations, lift objects, create energy waves in combat, create blades, create fire. The most powerful use achieved by Lunarian is Aerial Wan, which is resembles to fireball, but it only flys with higher speed and does immensive damage. VERY few could use it.

The Dark Energy is the energy of Destruction and Dark:
Contrary to the pouplar belief that darkness is the lack of light, darkness DOES exist in this world. Different from using Aerial Energy, the user of dark energy is possessed by the dark energy. Each time one summons the Dark Energy, he is corrupted a little more by it.
The dark energy could therefore animate the dead, which was part of the dark energy; cause destructions, summon darkness. The most powerful use achieved by Lunarians is the Dark Transformation, which forcefully corrupt one being and dominate his power. (for example, learning one of the ability)

The third energy is Void:
It is the maintaince of both Aerial and Dark energy. Again, this is something that exists. It powers up the plane Zerus'tori. Aerial and Dark energy focus on "change" while Void focus on "maintain" It controls both energies, and emergy both into void energy itself. Only one Lunarian had mastered the art and used it in combat.
Void energies can be used as:

Void Mirror: this creates a deflection zone that bounce back all attack from either Aerial or Dark based energy.
Void Arrow: this use both Aerial and Dark enery, and combine the two forces to do extraordinary destructions.

Neither two are availble to anyone.

You, as a player, can come up with more creative ideas of what kinda ability you possess in this world. Generally, as long as it is TOO powerful, it will be OK.

You can be a daemon

You can adventure in this world based on the outline I provided, and create more creatures/encounters/skills as your imagination could come up with. I, as a DM, will note your creations down, and provide them in furthur encounter.

I will not interfere unless your idea conflicts certain concept (we have to have a standard agreement, after all)

Basically, you do whatever you feel like to. I'll sometime pop in, and throw some of the monsters I, or you, created. or give some directions as to what you can do from the current stage.

Come in and have fun with the Mutiplanes!

rule #1:
Any human born in Lunar is NOT allowed to be killed in any of the outter planes. It was a bound set after the Tournament of Duke. (that doesnt mean Lunarians cannot be tortured, Daemon has an ageless life)

rule #2:
No daemon is allowed to use O'lar that opened towards Lunar

a known fact:
Any daemon with greater power than Aers Darkon can break the rules, however, he is not able to let other daemon do the same thing. (therefore, a daemon can get into Lunar but not bring an army of daemons with him)

another known fact:
the planes affect every being's ability. Therefore, a being specilizes in Aerial Energy would found himself uterrly disabled in the Efil'Refta plane

There are ways for a daemon to wander into the Lunar mutiplane. so of course, you can be a daemon.

one way is (this is not availble because it off balances the roleplay)
Lae'ton, the ancientest daemon of all, eventually achieved power greater than Aers Darkon, so he could venture into Lunar at his own will. (but he fell in love with a Lunarian woman, so he chose not to devour humans any furthur, thus weakens his own power... a possible plot)

another way is, a daemon that is not born in the mutiplane universe. and was later transported back to the mutiplane. Thus, such creatures are not restricted by the rules (which Aers Darkon did not foresee), they can use the O'lars as they wish to.

of course, you can be an elf, or dwarf, or halfling. but you will not likely find any similar race to you here.

there do exist numerous small daemon tribes in Lunar mutiplane. As I said, Daemons are rational beings capable of experiencing emotions just like Lunarians do. They do not have to be evil. These tribes are the few daemons chose to come with Lunarians since the creation of mutiplanes.

and of course, these daemons are far less powerful than the ones live in the outer plane of Zerus'kaar. (that doesn't mean their potential is any less)

only Lunarians are capable of controling two or more planes energy. Daemons are more powerful because they are physically stronger/faster, and can summon tremendous amount of energies. But they are either Aerial or Dark, not both, never Void.

On psionist:
I have no idea. my old thoughts are: psionists from other universe can travel into this place... what say you? any original ideas?

anyway, this thread for now is just ideas, designs, creativities. the more comments, the better. you can start an adventure whenever, wherever you like.

Sounds cool CCL [img]smile.gif[/img]

Any room for a triped, one eyed humanoid daemon of the D-class who just so happens to dislike the current daemon hierachy because he is considered the weakest even though he is simply more talented in areas other than warfare, raiding and massacaring?

Or, in other words with room to breathe, a D-type daemon who opposes the current regime with a stealth only daemons posess. That's not to say it's good aligned... cause it isn't. But instead of fighting and draining, this particular being prefers to pit daemons against eachother even though it is considered of little value in the daemon society. Oh, and do a little backstabbing. Yet it resents draining as it dislikes the taste, hence it's mind is severely limited by the being's body.


So what about it?

*YOU CANNOT RESIST ME*
*OBEY THE DAEMON*

Oh, it's name is Ghftrggjnnp (I think)

The Dark Tournament


The outer plane of Zerus'kaar is a plane of constant power struggle. The daemons are divided into several groups, and the strongest of them all rule. Conflicts is a regular thing that takes place as normal as Lunarians eat their meals. However, they do not always resolve into warfares, for daemons always look for "civilized" resolutions.

There comes the tradition of the Dark Tournament. The two conflict sides, sometimes three, rarely four, pick the strongest warriors they could find, and send them to the ancient land of Duke. A contest took place there, and the final winner has the say on all matters related to the original issue. After the Creation, Duke became a mysterious forbiden land trapped somewhere deep in the Zerus'tori plane. No more tournament was held in Duke, however, the tradition continues on. (think of it as conference)

There are numerous rules:
1. A participant invited to the Dark Tournament is not allowed to be killed by any party until he has done his fight AND sent back to his home. (to protect Lunarian participants)
2. During the time of the Dark Tournament, no violence shall be used through out the entire Zerus'kaar plane (or the plane where the tournament takes place). Violation will not be tolerated. Rule #2 only apply to tournament that is the most formal.
3. It is allowed to kill an opponent in the fight, however.
4. The winner decides all.

Legolas, LOL, funny

well, that is very good idea [img]smile.gif[/img] since daemons are rational beings, there will be as many possible daemonalities (lol) as there are for personality of Lunarians.

but in general, the most powerful rules. A d-classes daemon who distaste devouring and drain would likely to devolve its power unless he finds another resource other than devouring and draining.

I am thinking, perhaps a daemon should start aging once they quit devouring other beings [img]smile.gif[/img]

Very well, Neb the Thri-keen(Large insectoid, four-armed humanoid creature.) is on a meditational journey to expand his consciousness, at some point he decided to use his powers to let him experience things beyond his own dimension, an accident left him stuck in this universe however. He now searches for a way home, he wields a katana and a large polearm(Think axe at one end, halberd at the other.) along with his psionic powers, he specializes in messing with people's minds and pushing around reality with his thoughts, he also has a few other powers.

He is used to desert heat and is vulnerable to cold, he's managed to build up a resistance to magic, but since the magic in his own universe is so different from that in this one it hardly helps him at all.

On a side note, if anyone from his home arrives in this place they might be interested in seeking his death as a large bounty is awarded for psionicist brains where comes from as they are seen as a threat to society.
