The Empty Construct

Wyknish

Wyknish

That's my secret-I never know what I'm doing
In an ancient world known as Morlyn, the nations of the world are moving constructs. Every so often, they meet up, trade, people migrate, and celebrations are held. The constructs consist of:

Silvermead, hom to the Fae. The trees are famous for their delicate silver flowers, which glitter gently in the sunlight, and float to the ground in winter, covering the land like a silver blanket. It specializes in plants and medicine, a pioneer in both. Silvermead is a land painted with all the colours of the rainbow, gentle and brilliant. The fae are the partying type. They hold many festivals, and families enjoy lighting a bonfire at night and dancing around it. Exquisite music drifts from the treetops to the dancers below.

Valden, birthplace of the Humans. The cities are large and mechanical, painted in black and white. There are no soft curves here. The Humans are curious creatures, and their education and technology are known to be the best of the best. They live their lives aided by many machines, and soar among the clouds not with magic, but technology. Humans toil all day, always striving for the best. They have a vision for the future, and will go through hell to see it done.

Corpond, sea of the Selkies and Merpeople. They live in small huts on the land, and gaping caverns underwater. The sea people are lazy and relaxed, spending their day in the water, visiting the brilliant coral reefs that are teeming with life, or floating in a hidden lagoon, head resting on a log, as a waterfall gushes nearby. They rarely do much work, and what little they do is done with magic. Spell books are incredibly common in the stores of Corpond.

Dragontooth, land of the outcasts. Dragontooth is a gloomy land, where citizens practice black magic, and dragons reside far below Morlyn's surface, laying in their piles of gold that have been melted by Morlyn's center, huffing smoke from their nostrils. Those with powers that are out of the ordinary, that do not require spells or incantations, thrive here. Shapeshifters, those with kinetic powers, those with extraordinary strength- they reside here.

For the first time in five centuries, all constructs have come together. Celebrations are held, and people dance in the streets all night. Even those in Dragontooth join the festivities. But late one night, the humans recieve a signal. A fifth construct has arrived. They attempt to make contact, working furiously through day and night, but there is no response. Eventually, a team is assembled to explore the new construct. What they find...could mean death for all.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-

So, you are the team that has to explore the construct. It's either empty or there is no stability, and therefore no one to reply to the humans. You explore the construct for a few days, and what you find is dangerous. (plague? powerful evil being? army that is big and wants to invade? all of them? who knows).

Let me know if you are interested. I'm thinking about putting out character templates once there are about three people interested.

:)

Are there any race restrictions?
Click to expand...

If you mean your character's parents being different races, then no restrictions there. Just keep it within the four from the constructs: Human, Selkie, Fae (fairy), Mermaid

Background: Grew up within Silvermead among the court of the Unseelie Fae, he hated the needless deception of the Court, seeking an escape. Among the vast Library he found his calling, tomes of forbidden black magic. The black magic excited him and he set to work learning everything he could, quickly he became adept at it. One day he was discovered and in a bout of fear and anger fueled by the dark spells he struck the person down, killing them. He was then sentenced to exiled, never to return under threat of death. He left Silvermead gladly, and headed to Dragontooth, offering his service as a mage and explorer revelling in the new environment and hidden secrets to be found. And now his skill has put him on the path to the Empty Construct.

She met a human who was building a craft to get back to Valden, and made him agree to take her. She joined the Valden army, and quickly rose through the ranks. Was chosen for her leadership and skill with most weapons and hand to hand combat.

Sorry I added an extra thing at the end, If you could take the time to just add a few sentences for a quick backstory, that would be great, thanks!

Name: Ishum Tiller

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Current Construct: Valden Born and Raised.

Appearance: Ishum is bald with a light tan. He wears makeshift glasses out of curved glass and silver wiring, his belt loop has a key chain which carries several completely unnecessary tools. Ishum also has a pouch on the side of his leggings, it mostly holds souvenirs or valuable materials to use in crafts. Ishum chooses a balance of metal and leather when it comes to his apparel.

Personality: Ishum is usually charming and charismatic, however his face does not match his tone. He uses the combination of the two to make self-degrading jokes in times of inconvenience. Most people find his sense of humor quirky and useless. When it is useless is when he'll shut his big mouth, but till then, he will be a long talker. Cockiness will appear in his tone only when he knows he's won the fight. However, he isn't just jokes and giggles, he will care and help a person, but only people he can come to trust.


Magical Ability: None, he finds magic to be ineffective and counterproductive.

Likes: Working hard, good looking women, prideful opponents, smartasses.

Dislikes: Magic users, people with no sense of humor, very disgusting individuals, idiots in general.

Weapon of choice: Longsword.

Special skills: He is known for making deffective Party-Poppers that will tend to blow pack in his face. Other than that, he is a quick craft with strong fingers. He also can do one.Single. Backflip.
 
Name: Ferrik Inxid

Age: 23? Ish?

Gender: Malleable-usually identifies as a male

Species: Half fae-half human, but no-one really knows

Current Construct: Silvermead. He was born on Dragontooth, but has been living on Silvermead as a fae for a few months

Appearance: Good question. He's a shapeshifter, so this changes with startling regularity. And he doesn't actually remember what he looks like. He looks like whatever he is at the time until he decides to change something. At the moment, he is usually an average height and a slim build, with pale skin and spiky, pale white hair. He has flecks of silver just about everywhere, and white, silver and bronze wings (he can't actually use them). He has a few regular forms he likes to use, one for each race, but mostly he spends his time in that fae form.

Personality: Ferrik is a little bit crazy. Just a little. He was born and raised on Dragontooth, and has learnt enough hard lessons that he has become a ruthless, vicious man if provoked. He is very unstable, following the nature of his powers. He does very unpredictable things, but he is a damn good actor. The majority of his entertainment in life is slipping between roles, making up little characters and acting out their lives, watching how they impact other people and generally amusing himself. He can easily fit himself into a group, whether he's acting or not. His personality is about as malleable as his appearance, but they tend to mirror. He'll keep and change traits, but he at least knows the difference between his real personality and the ones he puts on, unlike his appearance. The one thing you never want to happen, is to let Ferrik get bored. He is dangerous when he's bored. He'll come up with anything to keep himself entertained, and that could be betraying you to your enemy to liven things up, or wandering off into the night and vanishing for three days straight.

Magical Ability? He has wings in his fae form, but he can't use them. Mainly, he's a shapeshifter. He takes on various features of various races, though he can do animals too at a push. He hates being animals. He changes one thing at a time and that becomes his actual form. If he makes himself bigger, he does get stronger, etc, so he can change his physiology to enhance various stats, but he can't do any actual magic, nor can he do things like breathe underwater if he's pretending to be Merfolk, or fly with fake wings.

Likes: Food, alcohol, bets and dares, chaos

Dislikes: Strawberries-he actively tried to kill the last person who gave him strawberries, character drama, hugs

Weapon of choice: Staff and dagger-he likes hitting people with a stick, and he likes stabbing them because it's more interesting

Special skills: He can climb trees really fast, and chug a beer in even less time. He has definitely had too much to drink and woken up in the morning as a squirrel.

Background: Ferrik was born and raised on Dragontooth, and slipped between the cracks as soon as he was able to walk. He walked straight away from everyone. No-one was ever sure where he went, or even who he was, as his identity kept changing. He never really learnt how to make genuine connections, though he did learn to use his ability to get what he wanted from people. People fascinate him. No-one knows who he is. No-one knows his name-he picks a new one with every new face. Ferrik is just what he's been for a while now. He spends his whole life walking through chaos, sowing it, revelling in it, always observing. He started taking up particular roles and living on the constructs as one character or another for months at a time. He even made it a whole two years as a human woman called Ira on Valden because he liked their pet dog before he changed his face and watched to see what happened he Ira left. He's been on Silvermead as Ferrik for the last month or so. He likes Silvermead. Lots of parties, drinks, trees. But this new construct sounds like something he needs to see.
