Hi i've got an idea for an Rp that might be good but i need some help with the plot, any help would be greatly appreciated. this is what i have so far.

Not many years ago war waged between the risen army of Hotan, a high lord who plots to destroy all life on the planet, tearing a rift in the mountain of Sorehe begins the assault with the numberless armies under his command.

As the last remains of the defenders, dwindle and begin to fall a little old lady passing the battle field decides. “No more, this death cannot pass.” As she raised her hands she chants in a lost language, but struck by a stay arrow one letter is mispronounced, a force field is erect around the dark lord’s rift as planned but another spell was made.

Unbeknownst to her she had cast an wakening spell that raised 6 beings from their slumber, as they see the battle field they agree with the dieing woman that this must be stopped and they sought out vessels to stop the dark lord hotan.

This is very interesting, but I do have some questions: Are the 6 beings deities, elementals, demons, or something else? What kind of powers do they have? What will they pass on? How will they choose their vessels?

If I think of anymore I'll ask, and also PM me when you start, I want in!

Well, working on the basic premise would go a long way, I see minimal rationality.

1. What could possibly compel this Dark Lord to want to destroy all life on the planet? Considering that that includes himself, nothing. Even if you said, "all life besides himself", there's no rationale for that, nor for anything anywhere near that.

2. It's, "Numerous", not, "Numberless"

3. No beings with any level of reverance or power as it's safe to assume those 6 have would take one look at a battlefield and pick a side, or do so based on the word of one person.

4. With his motives obviously so well-known, who in their right mind would fight under Hotan?

You couldn't just open a book, pick 5 sentences and have those as the plot for your RP, it would have a problem like yours does. There is absolutely no context or logic to anything at all.

I think i understand. Im basing it around A fantasy, but I've updated it since.

It had only been ten years since the risen armies of the Dark lord Hotan tore a rift in the diamond mountain cliff of Sorehe, just to the north of the greatest citadel of Caron. This was the place that Hotan had targeted, to take down the heart of the people of the world to ensure his victory, of destroying the population and making his own and giving an immortal gift to his followers, despite the numerous armies under his command.

As the last remnants of the defending armies dwindle and begin to fall, a witch who had travelled a hundred miles on her cleansing journey, anticipating the end of her life, watched over the battle field decided that this must be no more. Raising her hands above her head and chanting, one of Hotan’s generals saw the witch and launched an arrow that pierced her heart and due to this she mispronounced the end of her hopeful chant, but the rift was closed successfully but due to the arrow that killed her she had enchanted another curse.

Unknown to the witch her spell had awoken 6 being from their slumber, as these beings were dragged into this realm from Hotan’s dimension they saw the battle field and cried. They saw the witch’s death and watched as the rift became just a crack that would not hold long against the powerful magic of the lord hotan and sought out vessels of true good who would aim only to prevent Hotan’s return and they would give their host the powers to do so. These beings will also offer guidance with there intellect of the Lord Hotan

I'm sorry man, but this just reeks of cliche.
