>~*We Are Currently Full with 6 PC's & 1 GM*~<
Yesterday life was simple. The village of Simpleton was a backwater, background farming village that sold grains and fruits to the Capitol, the City of Daymon. The people were simple minded folk who occasionally had children dreaming of big cities and far off exotic travels. But they mostly remained, living out a happy and quiet existence.

The world of Daymon's End is a high fantasy world filled with rich magics, monstrous creatures of all sorts - even a wild assortment of monstrous and humanoid races. Humans are not the most common- actually the Humans, Elves, Halfings and similar folk number some of the smallest. They fill an island archipelago rings by two crescent moons of land. Beyond these lands lay other continents that the more monstrous races have claimed. Once the world was dominated by one massive continent - and the 'common races' filled it, pushing all the monstrous folk who didn't look like them into the far off lands. Magic gushed through the world, far too easily and its mismanagement led to a planar war. Elementals, Angels, Devils and more filled the world with death and slaughter. What started as noble crusades soon engulfed the continent - and its people grew sick of war. A great pair of beings offered to end it all if they could claim a new land for themselves. Making a foolish deal, the leaders accepted the bargain from what would be realised as a demon pair.
The war was ended by a new land being summoned like a meteor from the sky. It's energy crashed over the land, sinking all the world below the ocean. Only those cities that made bargains or those that sensed the coming nightmare and crafted great magics would survive. The rest would drown...
What remained became islands - be they tips of old mountains or magically protected land. Some Druids vanished area and returned them. And so the common races survived... Though it is said that the dwarves found ways to protect their tunnels, reconnecting their underground mazes once more after the disaster. It's felt that dwarves are the richest races and often bear deep grudges for the little aid they gave in the coming days.
Where the new land fell, an island formed. A river fills it's Center, where the mass fracked from the impact. Across its Center is the City of Daymon - in truth they are twin cities, each residing on one half of the island. The Demon King and Demon Queen rule in each, often inventing strange laws as they quarrel endlessly. Here many great beings roam freely - leading to great chances for power and riches... And also great risks for ones body, mind and soul...
The Village of Simpleton is near the edge of this central island. The people living there enjoyed the life of background characters. Low def existences where danger is low - because a great Mage resides in a tower on the edge of the village, scaring away threats with his magics. The Great @cough-epic-cough@ Wizard Part'asti, who dreams of becoming more than mere human. He hopes to achieve immortality through transformation.
Of course he brings gold to the village - forever is he hosting noble parties or ordering simple objects made so he can enchant them for his clients or his whims. When he draws in his wealthy friends, they too splash their coin across the village. The village is known for its magically enriched fruits - and in particular the various alcoholic beverage they derive from them!
And that is why the wizard established himself here in the first place.
Today the world changed. Their low def world became crystal clear. People grew beautiful and strangely detailed. The wizard put out a call for heroes and heroines... And the whole village could feel the power of the narrative fall upon them. Strange things began to occur - crops vanished overnight... With trees transforming into strange new variations. Clouds brought a rain of corn kernels and a hailstorm of buttery globlets... The burning sun filled the streets with popped corn - which would of been nicer if their salt supply hadn't turned to Quartz...
The wizard has acquired a new artifact. He'd unlocked its secrets - hosting a grand ball within his tower to show off his treasure to the world's finest. He'd even ordered a herd of cattle for the feasting! But whilst the nobles arrived... The world went awry. And now his artifact, uncontained, wrought its magic freely. A Shard of Chaos ... The key to unlocking the most powerful transformative magics in all creation... And now their village was plagued by such changes randomly and freely... Heroes were needed to retrieve it so the wizard could lock away its power... Before they all awoke as a flock of geese or worse...
And with so much narrative potential... The village have volunteered their 'best' kin with the most 'potential' to save the day...
Welcome to being level 1 dupes. You've been volunteered because the village feels you are too much trouble, too unusual or just because you actually volunteered... The villagers mostly feel that heroics are dangerous and that this artifact will land whoever goes in as something awful and random and helpless...
The wizard's issue is all the changes - indeed the entire tower is are now a floating castle. Even the town has transformed with in, and they both float low in the heavens!Within the Tower's basement, where the Wizard performed all his research, is now a labyrinth - with areas that are caves and others with their own skies! His staff - why even his guests have been drawn inside the maze, transformed into its inhabitants. Why even the herd of cattle have gone missing! The wizard fears that his even magics and charms could not protect him - leaving him fearful that if he is changed, he won't be able to perform magics in his new form...
For the heroes, there are many concerns. Mice could be monsters... The guests will need help- but they may also be very dangerous in their new forms. And some of those guests are very important people - grudges and worse could come from their mistreatment and neglect... The shard has charged many areas or items, offering great power - and unknown changes to those who tread unwarily...
The wizard has designed a item to find the shard, even within its maze. But his ingredients are lost inside the maze. So he has given each of you charms and trinkets to help you find your way inside and aid you where he can. Of course... The shard makes even those items unstable...
As the maze should have few monsters, and many people needing more creative help than blades, the wizard forgo searching for known heroes. Instead he feels the villagers will provide him with what he needs...
So what do I need from you? I need a name, a race, a description and preferably some artwork. I'd also like a personality and a brief history. Feel free to be creative and ask me lots of questions. This world accommodates most races with planar and elemental influences being common in some areas that still survive from the planar war. And what sort of items would you like to bring or will your character insist on bringing into the labyrinth?
Don't worry much about stats, feats, classes etc. Your application will earn you bonuses. Extra dice for rolling stats (no point buy, I truly hate it), bonus skills or feats, extra equipment - I will even have a few special awards for the most interesting and amusing applications. These include a bonus level, a artifact, random magical items (truly random), cursed magical items - actually you will all start with 2 or 3 magical items from the wizard. Something to help you navigate the maze or locate something, something practical to use and perhaps a random bonus item. These won't be based on your starting level at all.
Some pathfinder elements will be available - most notably some base classes may be available and feats will be open for use. Though the rest I'll keep in DND 3.5ed. The game will run short combats, encompassing several rounds in each post if possible. Combat won't be the focus at all.
One of the most important things I need to know is what changes are you as a player comfortable and uncomfortable with. Also, what is your character comfortable and uncomfortable with? So I know how best I can thrill you both - and torment you and/or your character for my amusement. Consider gender changes, partial and complete changes, racial changes, monstrous beasts, soft furs, scaled hides, wings and tails, paws and long teeth... Planar influences and more... If there is a race or monster, you can end up as it. Some changes could also be class ability related or even complete new classes. Some changes will give you free skills and powers. Others will take it away. Some changes will be involuntarily - others voluntary. And mixing some will work miracles - mixing others will override previous ones.
Corruption of Champions is an influence and inspiration here - but I find that element too limited in scope. But bad ends will occur occasionally if desired. You can always fade to black too if something should happen but you don't desire to write it out.
Sexual elements will be open to use, but they aren't the main focus. But if I can say, I hope to inspire sexiness and risqué situations... But I'm not in it to rape you all endlessly. I get bored of smut Rp quickly unless story elements are the main focus. So consider that carefully before applying, lest you be bored and end up dissatisfied with my service.
Order of the Stick dialogue is perfectly acceptable - as is breaking the fourth wall, bad puns and silly humour. In fact humour is a good way to draw me into your ideas. As are creative use of bad stereotypes. :)
My last words are simple: Inspire me. If you can't, you won't find a place within my world at all.
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b] Approximate ages are fine if you don't know how long a race lives or how quickly they mature.
[b]Class:[/b]
[b]Concept:[/b] Describe them in a nutshell.
[b]Race:[/b] Remember this world has areas affected by planar/elemental/Alignment magics, so many towns are like Tieflings, Aasimars and other plane touched races, or have mild ties to those sorts of natures & physical differences.
[b]Appearance:[/b] I'd like both a description and any artwork you might have. I'd also like to know what your character is wearing when they are relaxed at home/town/tavern etc and what they'd wear when preparing for an adventure.
[b]Personality:[/b] Tell me all about them - their likes, fears, strengths and weaknesses? More if you can. This detail will help us all thrive :)
[b]History:[/b] let me know about their past. This can be light if desired. I know I've got one person considering a past as a farmer so it doesn't have to be huge. But if you can tie in a theme from their past that I can play with in future encounters. I'll be consider such efforts favourably. It's the same with personality elements - if you like cake, I might have a princess transformed into the most perfect.. Most tempting cake you've ever seen since the Blamonge episode of Monty Python...
[b]Temptations:[/b] What elements might tempt your character into traps and mistakes? What rewards might I lace through the labyrinth? What horrors might I mask behind innocent facades? What tools can I play with as a GM.
[B]Transformations:[/b] Let me know what changes you'd be comfortable and uncomfortable with - racial, gender, class, physical, mental - can I make you into a dancer? A donkey? Give your charrie a big butt? Or horrible warts? Make them a witch? Or a monster? Must they remain humanoid in shape? Think beyond your limits and share what you can. Feel free to PM this part, so as to keep hidden things from other players. Actually you can pm other secrets too, if you'd like :) Is there something you'd hate to see or just dying to have done to your charrie? Even if it unreasonable, let me know and I'll see what I can do...
[b]Dream Sequence:[/b] I'd like to see a dream from each character. This is to help me develop an understanding for how each character thinks and perceives the world. Some of you will be asked to put specific elements into your dream as well. This can be used to hint at what changes you'd like to see. Or how you perceive something you'd like to become, so I can understand your ideal of it. Feel free to include artwork.
And remember, if you can inspire emotions in these sections, there are prizes to be awarded from me :) So show off and give me some fun reading!
