Basic general plot: Prevent the king from destroying the world unintentionally.

There was once a cruel king who ruled with an iron first, maintaining order and protection largely through fear. With the exception of one, his generals and advisors were equally as cruel and together, they protected their kingdom well and crushed any internal resistance that rebelled against the ideal of the king and his men.

There is a legend of a lord of a lost realm, who saved the world eons ago at the cost of his kingdom, which was already doomed beyond repair. In the midst of the world’s recovery, the lord and his three generals disappeared…

However, as often happens, when people have become suppressed for a long time, some eventually tire of it, being overly unhappy and wanting to act for a change. That one “good” general began to organize a resistance in secret, skillfully and perhaps luckily avoiding notice from the other higher ups. While some of the skirmishes were successful, others were severely crushed as well.

It has been passed down by legend that, exhausted, the lord had decided to sleep until he was needed again with his guardian generals by his side.

To make matters even more disruptive and confusing, one day, a mysterious masked and hooded mage appeared in the throne room and challenged the king to a chess match. No one knows exactly what happened, but the king changed after that day, becoming more warm hearted and looking after the people’s conditions more kindly yet still maintaining a somewhat cruel composure, especially in battle. Eventually, he started to send his generals and advisors to their deaths in battle without them realizing it. As for the mage, no one ever heard or saw of that person again. People assumed the mage was dead.

It has been ten years…and the king is reverting back to his former self, the cruel heartless one, and he has begun to look for people to replace those he lost to battle…

…And in the years of peace, the other kingdoms have begun to rise up to engage this particular kingdom, seeing that the king has gotten soft . . . a chance for revenge and more dominion.

Organizations, Legends, and NPCs

Organizations

The Mage Guild has members across the whole world. Because magic is not easy to come by or learn, this guild has a sort of elitist attitude. They, of course, have been investigating why the Chrome king changed from ten years ago. But note that there are other guilds as well.

The Chrome Rebels go by a name that the roleplayers can create. However, they are unofficially disbanded due to the Chrome king's change in disposition. They do keep in touch. The civilian leader keeps in contact with the good general, and the good general has made suggestions to the king, some of which were accepted... but that may change now. They may want a democracy soon.

Legends

The Legend of the Lord: The legends tell of a once great realm, where a wise and knowledgeable lord reigned. It is said that he knew far more than any in the world. The lord was peaceful and more absorbed in his studies more than anything else and was an extravagant explorer, flying to the farthest reaches of the world and observe the sights never seen before.

During the lord’s reign, a raging war began tearing the lands apart. Denizens were dying left and right. It is said that the waters were stained red due to all the bloodshed, and that the skies even came to match the waters. The earth shook violently, cracking with fear and anger.

The worst was only beginning when the lord returned from one of his expeditions. His three generals were dealing with it as best as they could …as was the rest of the world. The land in the realm was destroying itself, and the generals had initiated an evacuation plan. But the world was breaking apart…
After brooding over the pandemic, the young lord devised a solution. However, it was already too late for his realm. Most had been evacuated from the realm. Thus, he diverted his efforts to those remaining and the other lands, eventually absolving the world.

In the midst of recovery, the lord and his generals disappeared. It has been passed down by legend that, exhausted, he had decided to sleep until he was needed again with his guardian generals by his side.


NPCs

Depocah Kingdom
Thomas, Lord of Chronopolis: No one knows this, but if there is necromancy, this man will make sure to kill the people who caused it... if he's around. ... and it will hurt ... a lot. Don't play mind games with this one.

????
The Hooded Mask/The Mage was the one who challenged the Chrome king to a chess match and lost. No one knows what happened to him, but it is common rumor that he is dead. After all, no one knew what he looked like because of the hood and mask, and no one has heard of him since. [This wouldn't be a role]

Roles


Chrome
The Chrome King was originally a cruel evil king. However, ten years ago, he changed, becoming more caring. Now, he is reverting back to his old ways again, as changing as we speak.

Chrome's "Good" General survived due to the townspeople’s help. He/she is now the head general, being the only general/advisor still in the kingdom and alive. What will the good general do when the king starts to order him/her once again to slaughter and oppress the people and look for potential candidates for leadership?

Chrome's Former Evil Advisor survived, without anyone knowing, and is in hiding. He/she is plotting to overthrow the king or bring the king back to his original self. He/she feels betrayed, but thinks that the mage might have something to do with it… even though no one knows what happened to that mage. He/she also has it out for the “good” general. Maybe he/she will try to contact the good general to plot something. Or maybe he/she will confront the king. After all, if the king is reverting back to his former self... he would be happy to see the advisor, right?

Chrome's Civilian Rebel Leader was the good general's partner in leading the masses against the king. Will he/she be needed once again?

Depocah
Hermit elf girl: Ten years ago, the elf girl found a heavily wounded man in a forest in Depocah. Due to her kindness, she has been taking care of the man for the past ten years. He seems to be in a coma, a sort of sleep, but he is alive as he is breathing.
...Though she might not remember at the moment, she is in fact of the legend lord’s generals, the one most skilled in healing and medicine. She has no memory of her past. - PM me on more details

Wherever: Pick a Kingdom
The mage’s apprentice has been searching for his/her teacher, not believing that the mage is dead. He is a member of the Mage Guild, a guild that his teacher refused to join. Who is his teacher? The hooded masked man, but he doesn't know that. His teacher simply left a note for him one night and disappeared. It has been ten years... Meanwhile, he has refused to be taken under the wing of any other mage. .. even though he/she doesn't understand the full meaning of the note.

The Note: "Dear Apprentice, I must take leave of you as some urgent matter has come up. I do not know when and if I will return. However, study hard and do not forget your studies. You must not sway from the path, no matter what others say. You are a bright apprentice, and I have great confidence that you will be a great mage in the future."

Reincarnation of the Legend Lord's General: The legend lord had three generals. One of them is the hermit elf girl. Another one will be revealed later. The last one is up to you. .. and he/she doesn't have to be good. If you want to combine this role with one of those above, pm me to see if it'll work.

Citizens of the Countries/Contestants for Chrome's positions/Rebels/Mayors+Lords of Cities/Librarians/Farmers/etc... But of course, there are many different types of people in the world.
