King Tharassian

Governor-Militant
Location
Victory Bay, Kronus
The stars above you twinkle as the night passes, but you only see them through the bars of a cell.

You have been here for a length of time that you cannot adequately measure, though it cannot have been longer than a month, nor shorter than a week. The days and nights have blended together somewhat since your arrival. You count the constellations as you have so many times before. Naming each one yourself, as you never heard names for them, you wonder at your arrival in this distasteful situation, and at the vastness of the world you have never seen…

[] A world of strange gods and stranger skies, a Wheel turning upon a bleak and ever-changing axis. A place of grey souls and Scrolls written by the wings of moths.

[] A world split by twin banners, torn by conflict, beset on all sides by threats and foes. A place where the wills of gods walk the halls beneath the earth, and that has only just begun to recover from a War unlike any other.

[] A world where the days of heroes have only just begun. Where Fate has been shattered and where the path is uncertain. A place that awaits the clash of great powers, and the Reckoning that will surely follow.

How you came here is a blur of color and sound. You found yourself here, a prisoner. You were treated well, you suppose, despite your status as a seeming criminal. When they brought you here, they even asked your name, and who you were…

[] A king of ages past, humbled by hardship and tempered by time. Two thirds God and one third Man, you are more than ready for what lies ahead.

[] A lady of high birth, who walked the gilded halls of holy men and sat beside the thrones of her time. Poison was your tool, for better or worse.
-[] A vile murderess
-[] A well-meaning assassin.

[] A knight of a time long gone, who fought his King and fell in the telling. A warrior without peer, you lived by the sword, and may do so again.
-[] A Knight
-[] A Traitor

[] A girl born on a farm, who clawed her way to the ears of the highest powers. Driven by faith, words were your greatest gift.
-[] A Saint
-[] A Patriot

[] Born in this world, you have grown among its myths and legends. Your story is your own, and it is as yet unwritten. How shall you create your legacy?

But now, you hear something outside. Bells are ringing. There are screams, and you can already tell that your time here is quickly drawing to a close.


Welcome one and welcome all to this fine debut.

Let the dice gods be with you, and may your debates not devolve into mindless flaming.

In explanation, so that the above vote on character may be clarified: each of the subdecisions, where they exist, is an "aspect" of the character: a particular version used as a baseline. One is "legendary," the other, "mortal."

Without further ado, let the Quest commence.

I'd rather not be an asshole.

That said, I do love me some exploration quests. It's a nice change of pace from the typical combat!combat!combat! focus narratives we have.

Once again, that choice is not Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, or Bloodborne. Any such notion is unsubstantiated.

And anyone may make guesses if they wish, on either setting or character.

we understand that it isn't related to the souls series in anyway, but we're going to be the setting's version of patches.

Ah. I see. Apologies. I tend to be overly literal.

Voting will continue for two more days. Then votes will lock in, and the update shall be written.

A lot of OC voters, huh.

Unfortunately, that is a somewhat.... Incorrect assessment. If you can guess the character's identity, you'll likely know why. And how.
