Attack on Light and Darkness
(Poorly Translated using a unnamed search software)





Story:

A secret balance has been kept since the dawn of Gaia. Light and Darkness being a more physical entity then people realize. Each vying for control more than the other. When light grows strong, there is life in abundance and replete with resource, when Darkness grows, death, decay and legendary beasts rampage. Neither can exist if the other dies, but neither can be equal together.

While neither entities can enter the physical world, they choose champions to throw the balance between the sides. Light brought forth the creation of man, while the darkness brought forth the creation of Disease, famine, war, and time. Light allowed the humans to grow and begin to grow strong against these champions of darkness, until the balance was in it's favor.

Now, with light in abundance, the balance is uneven. And Darkness grows strong. And in response to the defeat of many of it's ailments against humanity; it creates physical entities to champion it's plagues.

Demons

The first insurgence of demons occurred in 1666 The Great London fire. Or, as the champions of light cataloged this event; the First Demon. It was not just an accidental fire, but the appearance of the first demon to make it to the world. In the past; possessions were common, men and women mutating to horrible abominations that the secret warriors of light either exorcised or killed, but this was the first pure demon to make it into the world, and open a rift into the realms of darkness. Where the Entity of Darkness resided. And since then, all over the world demon rifts and portals were appearing. For in the iridescence of light, the shadows it cast grew longer and stronger. 7 Devils of Dark, and 9 Heroes of Light were formed. And began the Gray Wars.


Introduction

Basically, an idea to have a narrative story based on my similar games. I would have players pick the sides of either a Demon of the Dark, or a Hero of Light, and I, along with a interest co-gm, would throw scenarios and boss battles at the players.

Now, I do foresee the problem of PvP, but that would hopefully be mitigated by a system I would work on called the 'Counterbalance'. Which would be a running theme within the group, that way losing is not a horrible tragedy, but more of a interesting plot point.

Key Ideas/Features:

1.) Open creativity, races and character creation given a wide spectrum for people to create what they will with a respectable limit.
2.) Scenarios created by me and other players that would give interesting missions, boss battles, and character development.
3.) Helping shape the story with the actions of characters either making the world a brighter or darker place.
4.) Witnessing the turning of the age with certain events that may reshape the entire story.



Ending Statement:

Open to questions, criticism, concerns, complaints, and ideas from anyone who wants an active part in shaping the direction and style of the game. This Group will be put into the extreme category if launched for the themes of Demons, Gore, Death, Non-consensual actions between NPC's and Players, and other actions players would want to do in interacting with each-other, so if you are easily triggered or prone to anxiety then this won't be a good choice for you.


Currently, for this idea to take form I would need at the least 5 Players who would be interested in taking part, from there I would turn this thread into a recruitment thread and further work on the structure of this thread with more ideas of who the Demons and Heroes would be and how they exist in the world.
