RE: Starter RPG - Part 3 - War of the Gods (sign up now before we start the war)
OoC: nabby101, could you ask everone read back through the last few pages, just to make sure they know what is going on?
Plus, I wrote this piece about the war for you to put on the front post, if you like.
War of the Gods
In the beginning, there was the creator: Arceus. He pulled matter from nothing, forming worlds and stars. But to help him, he created 4 eggs. They hatched, and Dialga, Palkia and Giratina emerged. But the fourth did not. It remained unhatched, and Arceus guarded it with his life. Throughout the Origin Wars that broke out between the gods, he protected the last egg. And in the battles, an unstable planet was created: Earth. And yet it had the great potential for life. So the gods made a truce and made a shield in space-time around the planet, with the egg to seal it. But then it hatched, and the body was dying. Arceus, from love, took the soul of Manaphy and placed it in the body of a Torchic, who slept for thousands of years before waking. And then, a group rose up to try destroy Arceus, who had been driven mad by his inability to save the Manaphy, and who was attacking and killing Pokemon. Then, in a suicide attack, Arceus was wounded, shattered through the dimensions, but the insanity had started leaving his mind. Maintaning his cold exterior, he, knowing he no longer had the power, sent the Manaphy, who had had to return to her body, to the Distortion World of Giratina. Bbut Giratina did not give her a body, and took her soul into his own for extra power. He announced the War of the Gods to Arceus, Dialga and Palkia, who will soon begin fighting. The starters must make their choice. They will stand against friends, in a fight for survival.
War is coming.
Also, if you approve this nabby, I think, that by the end of the war, each person should have only one character left. Makes it more dark and serious, if you know you will have to kill one of your characters.
IC: Suddenly, a Torchic made from shadows dropped from nowhere. It was Ashka! She stood up and explained "I am not really Manaphy anymore. Giratina only wanted that bit of me. He had no use for the mortal part of me that had developed and just created a form for me. But I am no longer a god."
Denju had been very quiet. Suddenly he stood up and shouted, "I pledge my allegiance to Arceus!" And then, a huge throb of energy went out, and all the Pokemon who had made their decision had evolved when the glow disappeared! Denju was now a hulking Daikenki, with huge blades on his arms. Then, another energy throb went out, and all those who had decided vanished. The only people were left were those who had not chosen their team.
The first battle will start on Sunday. If you have not chosen by then, you will have to fight by yourself.
