Shadow RPG
Hey peeps! I just got this is idea for a rpg (role playing game) that is called Shadows! It is about these people who can control, transform, or even have a pet shadow! You can also be a villager, a person who fears the shadowns, or a loner, who lives in the woods. Shadow people can live in two packs, or be by themselves. One of the packs is evil, and other is good. Just to help you guys, I put a shadow and villager type list.
RULES:
1. Don't be over powerful. (and if you are low in class, don't make yourself as powerful as the leader)
2. anyone can join.
3. Don't take a spot that someone already taken.
4.Don't mess with the story. (unless you have a good idea that doesn't change the story much.)
5. Don't copy someone elses idea on this.
6. I may not let your character in if s/he is over powerful or doesn't follow one of these rules.
7. If someone is being rude, or not following these rules, I will injore your comments.
Shadow types:
Choose pack(silver or black) or loner
Choose controller, tranformer, or keeper
And choose stats if in pack( captain(one) captan helper(two) fighter(lots of these) healer(two) new(lots of these) and child(lots of these))
Villager types:**
choose village or loner
Village(either Hallowian or fairen)
Village stats( same as shadows without new, and with blacksmith, knitter, and poor)
My characters:
Name:Thero Backen
gender: Male
age: 19
Looks: long black hair, very dark brown eyes, torn shirt and pants, high boots
Story/Personaltity: He is powerful, and no one ever messes with him. he is dark and evil, but is clever. If someone is not good, he kicks that person out. Makes sure everyone knows who's boss x). He trusts no one.

For a moment I am just as paralyzed as the shadow-man was, except that the cause of my helplessness is utter shock. The things he just said simply do not compute with everything I've ever known so far. Black pack? Silver pack? As far as any village person knows, shadows are intelligent enough to form small marauding groups of five or six under a single leader, but I at least have never heard of anything that could be called a "pack" of shadows. And what did he call me? A controller, and...no. He didn't. I must be hearing things. No member of Luxian nobility has ever been a shadow. What do you think the Twilight Wall was built and bespelled for? Legend has it that there used to be other kingdoms a long time ago, not just Luxia. But eventually they all fell to the Nightlands, as well as the parts of Luxia that were outside the Wall. It is the only thing that protects the good folk of Luxia from being overrun by the eternal night in the rest of the world. Shadows and dark magic still exist near the Wall, but no Luxian noble has ever been a shadow. Not one. What does this mean for my future? Will I be unable to return to Fairen and my family, not to mention the duchy in store for me?
I am jolted awake, as it were, by the man's sharp, insistent words. "Well, little lady? Are you coming, or do I have to kill you and lug home your body?" I can tell from his tone that the last part was a jest, but it scares me into following him all the same. We stumble through the forest for a while, always going the same general direction. Or at least I'm stumbling; he moves quickly and confidently, as if shrubs and logs and low-hanging branches didn't hamper him at all. Every minute or so, he stops to let me catch up, looking perturbed at my slowness. Finally, we're right back where I started. Is this his camp? The "home" he mentioned? It certainly seems that way. And everyone we pass shows him some sign of respect, like a little nod or a salute. Is he these shadows' leader? Maybe so. This kind of thing certainly happened when my carriage left Fairen. Everyone in our path stopped what they were doing, moved aside, and bowed slightly as my retinue and I passed. Now the soldiers and footman (and maybe the horses) are dead, I'm certain of it. This man and his shadows have proved cunning so far; they would not be so stupid as to let anyone survive to alert Father.
I am led to a long, low wigwam with the outside built of tree bark. Inside, it's larger than it looks, the domed ceiling high enough to allow both me and the shadow-woman who's been assigned to guard me to stand comfortably. She suddenly goes dark and transforms into a shadow cougar, planting herself at the entrance with a growl of warning. In my hands are a well-worn black linen tunic and trousers, with instructions from the shadow leader to exchange them for my dress and petticoats. I ask the cougar guard to please turn her back, but she refuses to budge. I decide to try my new ability again, and tell her sternly, "Turn your back to me." Her eyes go wide as she struggles against the compulsion, but stiffly turns around anyway. Now in appropriate privacy, I undress and don the new clothes. A chill immediately curls itself around my lighter-dressed body, but I definitely feel freer to move. Black...a shadow color. No Luxian noble would wear this much black willingly, but it would appear that I have no choice, which is even worse than being controlled in a way. As an afterthought, I slide my tiny dagger out of the hem of my dress and slip it into my leather boot. It had seemed like a needless precaution when Father insisted on it, since I had never been attacked and had no idea how to use it effectively anyway, but now it might prove useful. I allow the shadow cougar to turn back around, and she does, snarling unintelligibly. She stalks out of the wigwam, motioning with her jet-black tail to follow.
************
Okay, so in summary, I've been taken by Thero (don't know his name yet) to the black camp, still not entirely believing I'm a shadow. In a wigwam there, I get dressed more like the typical shadow, and it is discovered that I have a weapon, though it's small and all but useless in my untrained hands. Sorry if that doesn't advance the plot much, or if it's long and confusing.

Also, I introduced a lot of new locales and towns in my past few posts. I'll draw (or have Little Sister draw; she's the better artist) a map to show everyone, and post it up here.

Ethyi tripped on a root and rolled , narrowly avoiding a sword-blade. She bumped into the bare foot of a girl with long brown hair, and a blue tank top . The girl glanced down, knife drawn . Ethyi, trembling, raised her arms againest the blow that was sure to come . The silvery mark on her hand shone like the moon, half-blinding the girl . She gasped, droppingher knife . Murmuring something, she pulled Ethyi to her feet .
" Where did you get that ? " the girl demanded .
" Why should I tell you ? " Ethyi retorted .
" Because I'm a silver . "
Ethyi stared at her . Was she lying ?
Stupid, getting into a fuss about some Nightlanders .
" This is part of the ... the um, Relm... um, sorry, I can't really remember ... Oh ! The Relminaw... I think , " she explained, uncertainly , stuffing the shining relic into the girl's hand .
" You need the Darken Stone to complete it , " Ethyi added , scratching at the shining stuff on her hand, which was begining to itch.
" Where did you find this ? " the girl asked softly . Just then , a lithe man wearing black conked Ethyi over her head .

Duvessa looked behind her, and couldn't see Thero and the princess anymore. She mumbled something and continued on. As she trotted on, an arrow whizzed by her. Her eyes widened, and she immediately shifted. Another arrow whizzed towards her. She reared, and disappeared. She reappeared not a second later, a few feet away. The man holding the bow growled. Duvessa rushed towards the black pack man, and reared up, kicking him in the stomach. The man rolled onto the ground, groaning. He suddenly leaped up, and prepared to shoot an arrow. But before he did, Duvessa smashed her hoof into his head. Or at least, she thought she did that before he let loose the arrow. Because when he fell, Duvessa saw an arrow right in her chest.
No more Duvessa. She dies. No one finds the Darken Stone except for Ethyi. Well, that's who I think it should be. But if somebody wants to find the Darken Stone, then you gotta go through the next finder, who I think should be Ethyi. Just an idea. Enjoy the rest of the rp guys!
(August 15, 2014 - 7:41 am)
Loving this guys!
Thero~
A shadow mysteriously came by me and mumbled something about a stone and we need it. And don't capture the girl. i injored her, saying "Why should I?" I then carried the girl back to camp. As always, people showed respect to me. I then kicked the girl into a cave, telling someone else to guard her. Then one of my fighters came to me, holding a girl. "Sir, she.. Er..." He lowered his voice, "she has the mark." I backed away in astonishment. No one has had that mark... In a thousand years. That mark... That mark would show us the way to the stone we needed... The relminac. And... That shadow had it. I gasped. "Why didn't I listen...!" But he smiled. "Well, since I have the mark, and the stone," he added, seeing the blueish stone in the girl's hand. "We just need the darken stone, which will be easy to get." i chuckled. "Finally, the time has come for shadows to rule again."
::.......::
So, I brought everything together! MWHAHAHA!
Mushy says yuckg. yucky? You don't like this? Wow, I don't think he likes this rpg.

Duvessa's eyes opened. She was in the Valley of Shadows, laying down on the grass right beside the Darken Stone.
I thought I was dead. Duvessa thought, and thinking she was still alive, she tried to shift, but didn't.
You think you are alive, but you are now just as dead as night. He has found out, and now all shall start to fight. The voices whispered to Duvessa.
You are dead, now you protect the stone. You found it when you were alone. But they shall find the Darken Stone not alone. They will find it, not just one, but perhaps the people that find the stone will be a ton. The voices whispered again. Duvessa swallowed hard.
" I can't do this!" Duvessa cried out.
Actions speak louder than thoughts. The voices whispered the single sentence, and that was all..
Just kidding! Duvessa is a ghost now. I love this rp too much to die. :D

Ethyi woke in a dark, musty cave . How did I get here ? she wondered. The last thing she could remember was the girl in the tank top asking , " Where did you get this ? " and a flash of pain . Ethyi strained to remember where she had been hurt, but her head felt groggy and misty . She sank back into sleep.
~ Later ~
Ethyi woke feeling much better, but it was still hard to arrange her thoughts. She decided to try and make shadow-puppets instead, intil Miss Thyuk , her ladylady, turned on the lights. Wait- she wasn't in the village any more, she was in the Nightlands ! No, that's to werid... oh, whatever... she held up her hand, the one with the mark on it. It shone brightly. With one hand and a rock, she managed to arrange her hand to make a wildcat. DarkDove floated over the wildcat shadow. The wildcat stood on it's hind legs, snapping at the bird (ironicly, DarkDove was bigger than the wildcat shadow ) . Suprised, Ethyi dropped the rock. But the shadow didn't dissapear. It fell, yes, but it didn't rearrange itself into the shadow of Ethyi's hand and arm the way it ought to . Instead, it continued to try to catch DarkDove , as the shadow of Ethyi's hand and arm slowly reappeared.
----------------------------
So basicly, Ethyi , using her skills at making shadow-puppets and her mark, can create living shadow puppets. I don't know if this is over powered, but please remember : These can only be the size of her hand and or arm .
By the way, what are captchas, and why do people name them ?
(August 15, 2014 - 1:37 pm)
This is okay!
Thero~
I watched the girl, hidden in the dark. She controlled the shadows, mumbling about puppets. She thinks they are puppets?! They are truly not. They are living beings.
She must be a controller. Yet again we have a rare shadow-person in our pack. But, it seems like she can create shadows too. Hmm. Strange. Lots of things has happened to today, some I wished hadn't. How can you fit so much into one day? I sighed and went out, calling it a day. I sent someone to guard the-controller?- and I went into my cave. Suddenly I heard voices outside. I looked outside to see villagers. Forgot. Must be looking for their princess. I grabbed a sword, whistled for my pack, and fought.
Oh, why must I forget! Like I said, much has happened in 24 hours. I winced as a dagger sliced my arm, blood poring. I haven't gotten a wound like this for a long time! i must pay attention. I locked my thoughts to fighting and killed a villager in front of me. Then in astonishment I felt a blow at my head and I cried out in pain. Ropes tightened my hands and I relazied we were being defeated. No. No. No. I resisted but my wound and dizzy head soon turned everything to black.
---------------------//
Suspense!
(August 15, 2014 - 9:54 pm)
Ethyi crawled toward the opening in the cave, careful not to let the gaurd know she was there. A fight ! Perhaps it would help her escape !
~ 5 minutes later ~
On Ethyi's signal, the wildcat shadow bite the gaurd's leg. Confused and annoyed, the guard looked down. He started to tie up the small wound with some rags. As he was distracted, Ethyi and DarkDove slip past.
They raced past the battle, then ducked behind a tree, panting. The wildcat offered up a coin, with a blue symbol. The Relminaw! Ethyi's heart sank. Now she would have to protect it, bring it to the silver pack all over again. She took the relic and placed it in a small pouch she carried at her belt. Then she urged the wildcat and DarkDove forward, sprinting deeper and deeper into the forest.
(August 16, 2014 - 10:20 am)
Umm, the relminaw is not suppose to be found unless the person has the darken stone and the mark.
(August 16, 2014 - 11:16 am)
Oh, sorry, I thought that the coin thingy was one of the parts of it and the Darken Stone was the other. So the coin is just the something that makes the mark?
(August 16, 2014 - 2:46 pm)
Duvessa spent her hours wandering around the valley, never far from the Darken Stone. If she realized she had strayed too far, she would go straight back. She would try to find the voices, but never did. She often stared at the Darken Stone, wandering how it came to be. Then one day, the words that were whispered to her froze her.
The day draws near.

(August 17, 2014 - 10:48 pm)
Sorry, I forgot to put which village Ethyi's from. I think that she isn't from Fairen, though .
~
Ethyi tripped through the woods, the wildcat and DarkDove close behind. She came to a big brambley patch of thorns . Through it , she could see a shining blue stone. She tried to reach it through the thorns , and hit her head on a rock. She slumped to the ground.
Shadows.Weaving, winding shadows. A girl with silver hair and a face in shadow, facing a man with a shadowy tail and gleaming claws . Pounding feet. Flashing silver- A sword . A blue stone, a tail, an army of hundreds, silver, shadows , a single bead of blood.
Ethyi woke up beside a bramble. The blue stone wasn't blue, only gray. It had only been a trick of the light- or of the shadows .
~
This doesn't really do anything, so you can ignore it if you want.
