Birdsie
The God-Emperor of Mankind
So, basically, this will be a Quest Log roleplay. It is based on the Nasuverse lore, but anyone who has no idea about the universe can join in any way, since the way we play this you need extremely little to no knowledge of the Nasuverse.
I will release frequent updates with what happens, as well as control side-characters, however, the players will be voting on all major decisions the character makes.
In the roleplay, we will attempt to create the legend of a single Heroic Spirit, and then him being summoned into a Holy Grail War. It will consist of two major parts: The Legend, and the War. In the former, the Heroic Spirit will build his own legend and possibly a whole cycle of legends. Then, once they meet their end, they will be summoned as a Heroic Spirit with all boons and flaws of their new unlife as a Servant. Note that the hero we're making never existed in history, to begin with.
First, character creation. Vote in each category:
You are one of the many heroes of legends past. You are...
[ ] A woman.
[ ] A man.
And your name...
[ ] Write-in. (Post suggestions.)
You come from the...
[ ] The Age of the Gods. Ancient times when legends and myths were truth and when magic ruled the world's physics instead of logic. Divine spirits ruled in this time and mother Gaia was above humanity who tried to live in peace with it.
- [ ] Era of Creation. From 6000BC to 4004BC. The levels of mystery are still high. Seeing a Phantasmal Creature is about as exciting as seeing a rabbit; it doesn't happen that often but it's common enough to be called natural occurrence. The levels of myth are large. "Invent sin itself," kinds of large. At the beginning of this era, Adam and Eve committed the original sin.
- [ ] Antediluvian period. From 4004BC to 2348BC. The levels of mystery are, once again, rather tall and in supply. A Phantasmal Species representative is a bit rarer, usually, they live in special places away from civilization. The levels of myth are still big. "Outrun the sun," kind of big. At the end of this period is when Gilgamesh lived. Protohistory.
- [ ] Ancient times. From 2348BC to the 600AD. The Age of the Gods is slowly fading away, magic replaced by logic and science, Gods replaced by common sense. Legends and Heroic Spirits slowly become weaker and so do their myths.
[ ] The Modern Age. The sophisticated times where mankind dominates and rules. Science rules the world's physics instead of magic. Humans rule in this time and Alaya is above nature that tries to survive but slowly fades away.
- [ ] Picking up at 5th century to the 15th century, the Medieval era. Mystery, magecraft, and other such things are rare, but in the earlier-to-middle periods, still, present throughout the planet albeit rarely.
- [ ] Early modern times. Roughly from the 15th century to the 18th century. The time of rebirth and renaissance. Most mystery and myth fade away and are replaced by more grounded, yet primitive and impotent magi still trying to retain the ancient status.
- [ ] Modern times. From the 18th century to today. The time of rapid growth and scientific progress, with many new machines replacing the old magical artifacts and clunky swords being replaced by futuristic radiation weaponry in the later days.
In your time, you were a...
[ ] Potent lord or politician of high power. Perhaps a king in the late Age of the Gods, or a president in the Modern times. Regardless, the person is a factor in the politics of some kind of civilization.
[ ] The descendant of a lineage of magi. A potent sorcerer capable of deeds of True Magic in the Age of the Gods, or perhaps simple, but notable magecraft in the Modern Age.
[ ] A warrior at the side of an army. Perhaps you were the sword-bearing lieutenant of a Chinese warlord, or one of the soldiers in ancient Mesopotamian armies under king Gilgamesh, raiding the surrounding lands for many treasures.
