Welcome to Dark Age Legends, chapter 11 sign ups! Chapter 11 will pick up where chapter 10 left off, but due to the break in the action, this is an excellent point to jump in if you haven?t already. If you haven?t been following the story the entire way through, don?t worry. You are not expected to read the entire RP-- just the summary and rules below. However, if you never played in a forum RP before (particularly this one) you may want to read a random page or two in the middle to get a sense of how everything works.

Chapter 11 Prelude

Gaian has been plunged into darkness.  The evil Dark Emperor Retan has returned with a horde of minions from other worlds, sealing up the heroes of Gaian as punishment for his past exodus.  Forming an unholy alliance with the Kandarinian Sovereignty, the two unchecked nations have run rampant, unleashing their fury upon the globe for the past 18 months.  The world is dying.  The darkness that was once confined to the Dark Continent is spreading.  Vicious creatures now run rampant across the land, sky, and sea.  All know and fear the Dark Empire?

Those that remain free from the tyrannical rule are few and far between.  Small pockets of resistance.  Small bands of freedom fighters that struggle to remain hidden, let alone survive?


Archives

The automatically updated <a href='http://darkagegames.net/dal/viewer.php?id=472' target='_blank'>DAL Archives</a> might be easier to read than the topic on this forum if you want look back at the story (it?s just a script that reads from the forum database and strips off all the signature, avatar clutter, etc.) This is useful if you want to save some pages to your harddrive.

Also, there's the <a href='http://darkagegames.net/dal/viewer2.php?mode=1&id=472&page=0' target='_blank'>big page</a>, which is the entire RP on one huge page (Caution, modem users! It's over 5 MB at this point.)

And don't forget <a href='http://www.darkagegames.net/dalpedia' target='_blank'>DALpedia</a>!

Rules

<a href='http://www.darkagegames.net/dalpedia/index.php/Rules' target='_blank'>Dark Age Legends Rules</a>

All players must read the rules.  Continuing Chapter 10 players can just give them a brief skim, as the only addition is the part about Retan.

As per usual, update/create your character?s bio page in DALpedia, then post a link to it here.  New players post here first, so we can approve your characters.

Chapter 11 begins December 1st!

For those of you participating in the ?Post Chapter 10? side RP, you guys can keep going if you want, although you might want to end it before Chapter 11 starts so that you don?t get too burned out.  (Heh?)

Note: For the characters that got sucked into Retan's ultimate spell of doom at then end of chapter 10, they will be freed in chapter 11's opening post.

Also, check out the new <a href='http://www.darkagegames.net/dalpedia/index.php/Help:Character_Stats' target='_blank'>character stats template</a>!

 Runaway with my hope...
 If I could make you mine...I\'ll go whereever you will go.\"

\"So lately, I\'ve been wondering...
 Who will be there to take my place...
 When I\'m gone, You\'ll need love...To light the shadows on your face.\"

\"If a great wave should fall...
 It would fall upon us...
 Well I hope there\'s someone out there...Who can bring me back to you.\"

\"Way up high or down low...I\'ll go wherever you will go.\"

\"Runaway with my love.\"

In your heart and mind, I\'ll stay with you all of time...

Arg! You keep changing Zeros' race. First Half Human, then Half God now Half Angel! Meh, inconsistencies never hurt anyone. Horus' height changed and so did Duilin's appearance (slightly and without explanation), Heheh.

But yeah, hopefully we'll see Allen get back into action. Honestly, a couple times throughout Chapter 10 I was like "Where's Allen?".

I have a couple suggestions for DAL and DALpedia...

1. Perhaps we could have a DAL time line, like what year is this taking place? Perhaps have an original calendar?

2. Make an info box thingy for the Nations like we have for characters. Have info for things such as Ruler, Government, Religion, Location, Government, etc.

Yeah actually I was thinking about setting up a timeline myself.  We'll see...

An info box for nations/groups is probably a good idea, since we're only getting more and more.

Guys, I think we should create a page on DALpedia for the chapter 10-11 interlude. That way, the important people such as myself, DM, Xorlak, Jenia, DarkSpartan and the such (kidding!!) whose characters were not affected by the trap can write up a summary of what happened to their character/nation/army/npcs/friends/etc.

How's that sound?

You could write up a whole separate page if you want.  Another option would be to include a "between chapters 10-11" section in each character's bio.  Or both!  For me I'm just going to let it fly, and let it be revealed what happened in the RP itself.

I say just put it in the character's bio and the nation's history. I don't think a whole new page is needed.

I feel too tired to argue with you, DM. I just won't write anything at all. I had a huge thing already written for the history, but since you're being evil, I won't write anything at all, and will try to reveal it through the storyline.

Hi, I've never really posted on this part of the forum before. So my characters for this chapter is Coriko and a new guy called Druid. His information is as follows, thank you. Oh and I know I sound like a noob but keep that to yourself please, becasue we were all noobs at one point.

(NAME)
Name: Druid
Gender: Male
Race:  Warlock
Specialization: Shadow Magic
Age: 30
Job: lord of his realm
Weapon: a black staff with a ruby on the top
Alliance: None
(DESCRIPTION)
Height: 6?3
Build: Athletic
Hair: Black and short
Clothing: Black cloak with hood, black shirt and black pants
Eye colour: grey
Body art: none
Facial hair:  5 o-clock shadow
(BIO)
At any early age Druid was recognized as an enhanced individual. He had heightened abilities compared to the rest of his race. He quickly rose to a position of power. By the age of 27 he was in charge of his realm, with help from the elder comitee. Druid got rid of the comitee within a week. Druid demanded respect from his subjects. He was a strict leader and was very hard on criminals, but he got things done. After a couple years in charge Druid was challenged by another person seeking power and the man?s name was Silas. Silas rallied the people of their world, and they stormed the fortress where Druid lived. Druid was ready for the attack and took at the people in great numbers at a time. Finally when the people saw their numbers meant nothing as long as they were against Druid on his territory, they retreated. This is when Silas joined the fight. Silas transported the entire fortress including himself and Druid to the border world. This drained him considerable, but he was still ready for a fight. Druid and Silas fought and Druid struck him down into the border world bog. This destroyed Silas?s skin and mind. Silas knew he couldn?t beat Druid so he opened a portal and sent Druid to Gaian.

I hope he sounds okay, by the way the race of warlock I created. I made a post for it on Dalpedia to. If I shouldn't have please tell me.

Looks good!  Since you're a returning player, you can go ahead and post your characters straight into DALpedia. (The first time thing is more for first time players ever.)  We'll trust you.  (Heh...)
