Against the Abyss ~ OA

[Alethus]

xxxx In the world of Ilderan, there exists an academy for misfit and special people from all planes and walks of life. At Evanthus Academy, students can hone in on their abilities and learn how to make themselves better in the areas of magic, fighting, and self defense, as well as become educated in interworldy history, politics, "humanities," and other useful knowledge.

xxxx It is no secret that Evanthus Academy is located near a portal city. This makes the school very popular among interplanar beings who want to continue their education or enlist in an army for a land of their choice. But after a new portal was clawed and torn opened from the Abyssal Realm, Ilderan began to fill with horrifying, mindless Abominations, bent upon destruction and bloodshed. What sent these creatures into such a frenzy out of their abyss is unclear. But Evanthus Academy was quick to take action, becoming one of the few safe zones of all of Ilderan... and soon, all of the rest of the planes as well, as the parasitic creatures tear into every other realm of existence.

xxxx While generations of warriors and skilled mages protect us currently, the humanoid numbers are dwindling and the monsters are only spilling into our worlds more and more... it will only be so long until we need new heroes to fight beside them.

xxxx Now, as our mere existence is put into a state of emergency, Evanthus Academy is calling out to train new students from all worlds and planes to become our next heroes, as a last resort to ever being able to fight back against these rage filled beings.

xxxxxxxx Will your story become a new legend?

xxxx❈ Ilderan: A place of mixed culture, where people of every race and species come to live, not always peacefully, but at least in a way that they can coexist. Ilderan is extremely popular and modern, with an earth-like appearance in a lot of ways.

xxxx❈ Earth: A world home to mainly humans, though some demons, angels, and fae have been known to wander in and out of existence here. Most of humanity remains unaware of the existence of the other worlds. This is to prevent issues between worlds as humans have a tendency to exploit what they can use to their advantage. There are a few humans scattered about this world that are aware of the existence of other worlds however. Earth, like Ilderan, has portals from various planes, but fewer in number and far less popular (although at one point, both the Fae realm as well as Atlantis had strong connections to it). While it is semi-modern in technology, the average awareness of magic is slim to none.

xxxx❈ The Realm of the Faeries: A world home to various species of Fae and some Merfolk. This realm is not quite as big as Ilderan or even Earth, and unfortunately the inhabitants are a dying race. The world is thick with foliage and fruit, and the air is sweet. For the most part, this realm is very peaceful, and the inhabitants rarely travel outside of it, aside from casual visits to Earth.

xxxx❈ Atlantis: A city located below sea level, mostly home to merfolk and fishkin. While the people of Atlantis are extremely advanced technology wise (some would debate that it might just be more advanced than the technology savvy districts of the Demonic Plane), this world's society is very traditional, and hasn't strayed very far spiritually since the city of Atlantis came into existence. Like the Realm of the Fae, Atlantis' population dwindles. An undersea portal connects Earth with Atlantis, though it is only open during certain times and moves frequently to keep Atlantis' safety secure. However, there are portals to Ilderan and the Realm of the Faeries as well, making Atlantis just as susceptible to the Abomination as every other community. Watery, rocky, cool in temperature.

xxxx❈ Sigil: This is a plane similar to Ilderan in that it once was a hotspot for interplanar and interworldy travelers. Drow, demons, imps, succubi, and many of the "outcast" species have found their existence here. However, whereas once it was the only location to have species living side by side, it has has long since become the slums of existence, and is concidered fairly dangerous by many. It is darker here than most of the other planes, rocky, and urbane, with considerably less foliage.

xxxx❈ The Celestial Plane: This plane is dominated mostly by high angels, spirits, and seraphim. Arguably the Celestial plane is one of the strictest planes in existence with with mostly older, more traditional inhabitants on average. This plane was once in the same world with the Demonic Plane, before the two separated long ago. While this plane is scarce of any demons, Zodiac spirits sometimes reside here as well. This plane is known to be very brightly lit during the day with seemingly endless sky.

xxxx❈ The Demonic Plane: After the Celestial and Demonic Planes parted ways long ago, the Demonic plane has become rich with culture. Demons have evolved into all different sub species, from imps and succubi to kitsune and oni. The intelligence also varies greatly in this realm from one demon to another, and while some are severely lacking, others show extreme intelligence beyond most species from other worlds. While some demons like to remain traditional, many have become more modern, or even inventive in the ways of modern life. However, with the demon heritage known for causing all kinds of mischief and chaos, this plane is known to be fairly dangerous for "mortal souls." New locations are created often, and with an everchanging world, it's difficult to determine what this realm is like "on average" and be quite unpredictable. Tread carefully when visiting.

xxxx❈ The Abyssal Realm: This is an abyssal realm discovered long ago by an old mage from the Demonic Realm. It is a terrifying place, considerably larger than most of the other planes and dimensions, dark, and full of creatures of unimaginable horror... this is the stuff of nightmares, all put into a dark abyss, hence it's name "The Abyssal Realm." Prisoners to be executed from the Demonic Realm used to be dropped into this realm, but after several mishaps where creatures have escaped and gatekeepers became insane, it was determined to be too unstable and unpredictable a plane to continue to toy with, and has been banned from use among the main realms and planes. It is said that contact with this realm can bring you to complete irreversible insanity within mere minutes. It has also been found that some of the creatures here are parasitic and have varying abilities.

xxxx❈ Other: While these are really the main, most popular place to have your existence, there are other realms, worlds, and planes in which all kinds of societies dwell.

Abominations can be classified by their danger level. While it may not be outwardly apparent until you face them in battle, these descriptions may help you identify monsters from the Abyssal Realm when or after you run into them.


xxxx ❈ S Class: SUPERIOR, DEMIGODLY- The HIGHEST for danger on the scale, known for destroying cities and capable of wiping out large populations of people. Typically the gigantic in size. Extreme training and great cooperation necessary from a large group or army necessary to kill these creatures. Extremely rare, few recorded. Rage irreversible.

xxxx ❈ A Class: LETHAL - The second highest on the danger scale, highest for average to large sized Abomination. Causes severe damage in small cities and large towns, capable of killing small to medium sized populations or large groups of people at a time, extremely dangerous. Do not attempt to battle without a trained group and a good plan. Very rare, but numbers are inclining. Rage highly unlikely to be reversible.


xxxx ❈ B Class: HIGHLY DANGEROUS - Average to large size typically, can damage medium to large towns, high risk, potentially lethal to large sized groups of people at a time if raged enough. Less than average. Rage unlikely to be reversible.
C Class: DANGEROUS - Typically average size, can cause moderate damage to a few buildings in the vicinity, capable of causing harm to large groups sometimes lethal. Destruction rate is moderate. Average. Rage reversible.

xxxx ❈ D Class: CAUTION, CHAOTIC - Capable of destruction can increase if provoked further, typically fairly average in behavior causing mild to medium damage to buildings and structure, can be harmful to small groups or potentially lethal if provoked. Average. Rage reversibility varies.

xxxx ❈ E Class: NEUTRAL - Typically not harmful unless strongly provoked and put into a high rage. Causes mild damage. A nuisance if anything. Rage reversible.

xxxx ❈ F Class: HARMLESS - Very unlikely to harm anything. Causes mild damage if raged compared to other Ambominations. Rare.

xxxx ❈ X Class: CAUTION, UNKNOWN - Unknown Abomination, unknown destruction rate, unknown capabilities, etc. Rare.

xxxx If you notice, there is a barrier around the school property that wards off Abominations. For extra security, you will need to bring the badge sent to you by the school when entering the gates on your first day. A gatekeeper and guards will be on duty at all times should an abomination be following you. Do not bring animals unless approved of by the school, this includes witch familiars. Outside family not allowed. You are training for a better cause here, not hiding out in a safe zone. You will be assigned teams. Be prepared.

❈ No fighting other students on premises unless supervised by an instructor.

❈ No stealing.

❈ No discrimination; racial, sexual, or otherwise.

❈ You may be deployed to an area if you could be of use. Be prepared for anything.

❈ Students will be assigned teams. Cooperate with your team. Work together. We're all on the same side.

❈ No pets unless approved by headmaster/headmistress.

❈ You may keep in contact with your family but please, no outside visitors.

❈ No damaging school property; physical, magical, or otherwise.

❈ Explicit sexual action must be taken elsewhere.

❈ Respect your superiors.

❈ You are subject to expulsion if misbehavior becomes a habit.

[Alethus]

❈ Follow the ToS.

❈ Don't cyber. If the clothes come off, it's time for a skip.

❈ Please post at least two beautiful, meaty paragraphs.

❈ Fighting outside the role play stays outside the role play. Meaning, if you have issues with another role player or with the role play itself, take it elsewhere. I'm very good at resolving conflict as well, and as I want to keep everyone happy so that the role play runs smoothly, if you come to me for advice or for help, I will do my best to come up with a resolution. I'm sure we can settle things in a dignified manner.

❈ That being said, what I say goes. If you're breaking rules too often, I will not hesitate to boot you right out of the role play and kill off your character. It's very easy. Don't tempt me.

❈ Please pay attention. It sucks if others have to suffer because you refuse to acknowledge that your character wasn't in the same room as another's, or if your character just happens to "hear" what someone else said despite never having been there. Unlike you (you, one of the writers), your character does not see everything that happens 24/7.

❈ Which brings me to my next point. No god modding. If the character you submit is too overpowered, I will ask you to change it. If you do not cooperate, you will be denied or ignored.

❈ Stay true to your character's personality.

❈ Post at LEAST once a week. Don't flake out on me, please. I'm so tired of people giving one or two replies and then flat out disappearing.

❈ If you don't intend to post in the role play, or are thinking about quitting gaia, don't join. Don't even send me an application.

❈ When sending in your application, the subject title should be "Introducing a New Student/Staff Member" (choose whichever fits).

❈ If you have an idea, don't hesitate to PM me. I love hearing ideas.

❈ Keep OOC in the OOC. Don't fill up the forum with just OOC chat. There are other places to do that, you don't need to waste space in the story area.

❈ Include your character's picture and name in the heading of your post. If your character is a staff member, also include their role somewhere in the format.

❈ Your format doesn't need to be elaborately beautiful (although elegant formats are encouraged). But make sure it's clean.

❈ If you aren't sure about something, ask.

❈ If you cause too much trouble for the role play's mechanics by not paying attention, disappearing, or being a douchebag, I will remove you. If I'm contacting you in PM, it is likely very important, so DO respond.

❈ Rules subject to change.
