Some many, long years ago, a war of worldly proportions had erupted and threatened to consume the earth. Many different armies and countries vied for land and wealth; some forces split while others joined or were consumed by others. Just as things seemed bleakest, the gods were released upon the world...
These gods were not as one would imagine, however. They did not come down from heaven, nor rise from the depths of hell, nor arise from the seas, nor come down from mountains, nor the stars, nor the skies... They escaped. They were manufactured beings created by one of the largest armies fighting the war. They wanted to create the perfect soldiers, as it were. They used all kinds of specimens including those of 'mythical' species and used their forbidden sciences to give them abilities near the powers of gods. However, they quickly found that their creations would be no good if they didn't give them short leashes. They developed new beings, creatures whose souls they could transplant into the gods, who would be undoubtedly loyal to their cause and their orders. These souls would stop the gods if they ever tried to rebel and also gave them more power and diversity in battle. These souls came up with their own name, Parasites.
But, as these things usually do, their plans backfired. A god and its parasite decided that they had had enough of being controlled by twisted mortals. They destroyed the laboratories that had created them and set out to destroy the army that wanted to recruit them. All of the others had escaped as well, but they all had different opinions about the world's dilemma. The arguments escalated into fierce fighting. Two gods, one of light and one of darkness, found themselves at the very summit of the battle. But, luckily for the world, light prevailed and the world fell back into peace.
The war and its gods were forgotten in time.
However, they lived on. Generations had passed, only a few of the ancient gods remained, hidden away. Their children walk the earth, occasionally meeting with others like themselves. But something in the world is changing; Something is awakening. The world order is under pressure. War seems imminent.
And the gods are surfacing once more.
Setting: Small forests broke up the rolling plains and rice fields that spanned the landscape. A few villages are scattered across separated by miles of field. The world is now dominated mainly by humans, but other races blend in with the masses or gather in their own lands. The world is set in a steampunk type period. Airships fly the skies, electricity lights the towns, guns blaze, and your trusty steed is the most reliable transportation over land. Somewhere on the plains, two beaten, dirt roads cross each other; North to South, and East to West. The Nothern Road led to the Mountains; the Southern Road led to the Great Deserts; The Easten Road led to the Ocean; and the Western Road led to the Dark Plains: a forbidden place of darkness and decay. In the Dark Plains lay the strongest and most corrupt country, and deep inside lay the Enemy...
Rumors have been heard about a laboratory being constructed. A place greater than the one that caused the First Great War. Stories spread about earthquakes and strange happenings in the country of the Dark Plains... And the happenings have an epicenter, The Capital.
