An idea for an RP...

[Lord Agent Dr. Vect]

On my spare time, I thought of an idea for an RP based off a game series known as "Overlord" (though I did take a few liberties).

The people will assume a role in the "Evil" faction, serving as part of the Minion Empire. While the games usually have a singular "Overlord" figure, in this particular setting the power of the Dark Domain has Fractured, so that the potential of evil can't all be focused in a single individual. Instead it permeates the land, influencing certain individuals and "Infecting" them with Dark Potential.

The main antagonist? An Elven Empire that has become the dominant force of "Good" in the setting. Within the world everything is utopian and nature-loving and the people are all happy. Of course by 'People' they mean the Elves, who have used their natural superiority to rule over the "Plain" humans. Heroes and adventurers are commonplace, either fortune-seeking warriors or government-issued agents working to exterminate the last "impurities" of the land. Besides that there are also other factors such as the local bandits, angry magically-mutated beasts and other power-hungry upstarts seeking to start their own evil reign.

The individual "Dark Generals" begin with a single Artifact of Doom as their weapon as well as choosing a single spell from a as-of-yet unorganized list as a starter. Besides that however they're granted the ability to create an "Abomination" fueled by lifeforce unique to each individual. While they may initially start off as decent assist creatures (depending on how the player designs them) as progress is made they can be made more powerful via pumping them with more lifeforce, depending on which kind is used will change the beast to different paths (a physical brute of destruction or a magical beast that rains horrible delicious pain upon those that their master commands).


I've worked out an idea for what a profile would probably look like, but I'd just leave up this very basic synopsis here (a few details are still being thought about) before I post up the Statistics part of it.

Since it's apparently the mood for "New RP Ideas", I might as well post the more complete part of this. I initially thought you do so when someone responds to the initial idea, but...

Dark Lords

Those touched with the potential for Dark Magic, we Servants of Darkness have long awaited for those of a particularly nasty will to serve. Ever since The Fracturing, the Age of the Overlords has since been gone, with those poofter Elves having taken the opportunity to take what they see as theirs and start their own so-called Empire dedicated to so-called "Good".

Ha!

What their definition of "Good" is merely stomping out opposition, setting up worship of the "Mother Goddess" as the One True Way and sprouting baby animal mangers! The Horrors!

_{Oh, and a bit of something about throwing their weight around as the Superior Race and a bit of historical revisioning to make themselves Living Gods.}

Fortunately not all hope has been lost for evil. Just because evil no longer has a dark messiah of it's own doesn't mean that evil has been truly gone. Dark Magic still exists, reaching out to that dank, pus-filled part of your heart that everyone has. Festering, oozing, and finally... Flourishing...

The fools underestimate us, forgetting the most important fact about evil...

Evil Always Finds A Way...

Statistics:

Strength: The more of this, the better to bash things with! Self-explanatory, really. (The greater this is, the stronger physical attacks will be, as well as being able to wield some greater weapons)
Endurance: A good Dark Lord is a living one! We can't have one that'll shatter with a good poke, so Endurance is good for being able to take more arrows to the face. (The greater this is, the better Armor you can put on)
Cunning: Brains are an important part of evil. It's not always about killing you know. Also, this will affect both your magic and the will you can exert over your Abomination. (Higher this is, the better Spells and Orders you gain)
Magic: How we determine your magical potential. The more you've got, the better spells you can access, and the better you can destroy with
Command: The bond between you and your Abomination. The greater it is, the more lifeforce you'll be able to dump into it! (Represents how much lifeforce you can add to your Abomination. All Abominations start with 10 Lifeforce, and this represents how many they have after that)
Swiftness: You can hardly chase down your enemies if you're slower than a Dwarf with it's boots tied together. (Determines your ability to move.


Abomination:
Former Overlords commanded entire hordes of Minions to sack, pillage and burn. However ever since the Fracture Minions have unable for some reason to be controlled as easily as they did. Fortunately we've solved that problem: By combining lifeforce in our brand-new AbomiTron 4050 1/2, we've been able to create new evil creatures with the combined power of the minions it would have taken to make them!



Description:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Race: (Might be covered later. Currently Humans are considered the Default choice)
Backstory: Basically how you discovered your magical potential, were found by the Minions and ended up in the Netherworld. At most a paragraph long.
Dark Artifact: A weapon custom-forged for you. Give it a proper description if you wish.
Spell: What Spells you have/starts off with. The character chooses one.




This is sorta the system I've got so far now... Will be finished up later...

I like it. Just saying >.>

Update: The Abominations.

Abominations are crafted from 10 Lifeforce. The amount of "Command" that one has allows you to add more. What type of Lifeforce used determines the power of the beast.

Four of a single type of lifeforce is needed to form the "Type" of an Abomination. You can customize the being with different types.

Brown: "Brown Types" are the most physical of the Abominations. They can deal more and take more hurting.
Red: "Reds" are more ranged beasts. The more this is used, the more fiery their ranged attacks will be.
Green: Greens tend to be of the sneaky and speedy type, preferring to use subterfuge and backstabbing in combat. Green Lifeforce also has a poisonous edge to it and enough of it can have develop a degree of invisibility.
Blue: Blue tends to be the most magically-acquainted of lifeforce. While not particularly great at direct combat, "Blues" can help augment the power of their masters.
