It all happened so quickly... An issue only made all the worse by the fact that no one knew what it was that was happening.
Everyone who should have known what was happening, those who were supposed to warn us, to protect us, to stop this from happening... They were all dead.
You're getting ahead of yourself.
All of this, everything began on that day...
March 17th, 2020. A Tuesday, and at the outset it was a day like any other.
The sun rose in the east, birds sang and dogs barked. Men and women groaned as they hit the snooze button and rolled over to get a few more minutes of sleep, while parents grumbled as they worked to pull children from their dreams.
Everything was normal. Everything was ordinary. The men and women of the world knew how their world worked, having grown big and strong and smart enough to no longer look under their beds for monsters when they need to sleep.
Then...
The explosion. An explosion both so titanic to be unparalleled in the modern age, and yet so small and so remote that many didn't even hear the sound, though most felt the rumbles of the earth from the explosion.
Those that were close enough however, they could hear the deafening roar, and the could see the towering cloud, rising up from the ground before sprouting wide, like the brim of a massive mushroom.
Panic was already starting to set in as news channels saw the footage, and questions were lobbied each and every which way.
What happened?
Who did this?
Was this an attack?
Was this... was this the start of World War 3?
it was less than a few hours later when the questions changed.
It was no longer asking who did this, nor were they asking why...
No the questions once more changed the what, but a whole different beast of a what.
What was that? A news anchor asked, watching the video of a figure, shaped like a man, but towering over ten feet tall with limbs as stout as trees and covered in a thousand hands picked up a school bus and ripped it in half. Another asked the same as footage came forth of a young man discovering a smoking, silver ball in the woods, only for the thing to unravel into a swarm of mechanical bees that consumed him, creating more bees from his body.
Suddenly, all across the continental states, there were monsters and tools and weapons and things that the watchers didn't even have words for. And all these things were attacking Mankind.
That was only a few days ago, and mankind is still in the midst of that first flinch back as the world suddenly expands around them.
You... You were just an average, regular person. No one special, at least not then.
Now... Well...
Now you are sitting in the back of a black van, and across from you sits a bald man in the cleanest three piece suit you have ever seen. And all thanks to the thing that you found yesterday. You don't know what is happening, and you are terrified.
ALL VOTES MUST BE IN A PLAN FORMAT
[ ][Oak] You are a Man
[ ][Oak] You are a Woman
[ ][Age] What is your Age? (19-25)
[ ][Name] What is your name?
[ ][OoP] [Male Only] Clarent, The Traitor's Blade
- A hand and a half sword with a blade stained black by the blood of Honorable Knights. Contained within the blade is the trapped soul of Mordred... it seems that him taking control of the kingdom was not a part of his mother's plans...
- The blade will automatically summon forth the Black Armor of Mordred to protect it's wielder
- The user can channel black flames through the sword as a means of attacking
[ ][OoP] [Female Only] The Witchknight
- A single left handed gauntlet, of apparently Germanic origins. The Witchblade Comic may be based on this artifact. The gauntlet appears to be cracked and missing several gems...
- The Gauntlet appears to be alive in some way, and is able to create nearly any weapon that the user can imagine
- The Witchknight can unfold into a suit of armor that can protect the wielder from most things
[ ][OoP] The Black Book
- A strange black pocket notebook, with black pages marked with white text that seems to change whenever the user looks away
- From studying the notebook, the user can learn how to manipulate the shadows around them, shaping them into solid objects to interact with the world, most easily tendrils of darkness, but nearly any shape is possible with practice
- The user is followed by a number of shadowy creatures with large white eyes that chitter like large bugs
[ ][OoP] Skeletal Bracelets
- A pair of beautiful diamond bracelet carved into the shape of bones. Once the bracelets are put on they shrink down and cannot be removed
- Allows the user to eject the bones out of their arms, and reshape them into different weapons
- Grants a rapid regenerative effect to almost all wounds
[ ][OoP] Silver Sands
- A vial of what appeared to be silver sand, but when the vial broke, the sand attached itself to your right arm, where it consumed everything from the elbow down, and replaced the limb with an advanced prosthetic-like limb crafted of an unknown metal and advanced ceramics. After ceasing it's consumption of your body, the rest of the silver sand spread across your body, forming into glimmering silver tattoo like inscriptions across your skin
- Your new limb appears to be able to reshape itself into any conventional fire arm, with the exception of firing some kind of directed energy instead of conventional ammunition
- So long as the 'tattoos' are in contact with any known technology, it allows the user to operate it solely through the mind alone
