Realm of Chaos

[kamikazewatermelon]

STARTING OUT
Ok, this is how it will work: You control a chaos champion gaining prestige and power for your chosen god. It is set in the chaos wastes (in the WH fantasy world, but you do not need to know about fanasy to play.). There are 2 ways to make a Champion:
1.RANDOM METHOD
Just name a god or daemon prince (see below) that you wish to follow, and i will do the rest.
2. DECISION
You can decide what god/daemon prince you follow, and then you choose:1.Human
2.Dwarf
3.Elf
4. Other (i will randomly choose something like Centaur or Orc or something)
or 5. Minotaur.

Then you will receive a gift from your god and a Chaos Mutation. Write a short background of why you turned to chaos, and your Champion's career has begun.

GODS
The four Chaos gods are: Khorne, the Blood God (gives Chaos Armour and a mutation); Slaanesh, Prince of Pleasure (Will of Iron and a Mutation); Nurgle, Lord of Decay(Feel no Pain and a mutation); and Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways(Random Magic Item and 1-3 mutations). If a Champion is promoted to a Deamon Prince, any future champions may worship them instead.

DAEMON PLAYERS
details on page 3, just choose a god and a number of mutations up to your god's number. Daemons will never becom Daemon Princes or Chaos Spawn, but they might get promoted to a higher-ranking daemon (e.g. greater daemon).

PLAYING
The game will be like:
You say what you and your followers are doing eg "we are defiling an altar of Khorne"
I (the GM) say what happens eg "the warband of khorne returns, and they spot you"
You say what you do eg "My beastmen form a sheildwall and i fire over the top with my crossbow"
I say what happens next eg "one goes down, the rest rush you"
and so on.

REWARDS
If you please your god in battle, you will receive rewards (these will be a mystery until someone earns them). If you receive enough rewards, you will be promoted to the ranks of daemonhood. If you are too mutated, however, you will degenerate into a Chaos Spawn, doomed to eternal servitude.

FOLLOWERS
Every 2 rewards you will gain 0-2 'lots' of followers. This 'lot' could be a single powerful Wizard, or up to 10 or even higher lesser creatures, such as Orcs.

DYING
If you fall in battle, there's a good chance you were merely knocked out. If you do die, however, there's a 50/50 chance that you will continue life as a Skeleton Champion. I will speak no more of this until someone dies and is ressurected...so let's get going!

[lictoralpha]

Name: Jorund
God: Tzeentch
Human, North

[Hellbreaker]

Name: Tor'ak grimstdür
God: Khorne
Race: Dwarf

(waiting for a gift)

Tor'ak turned to chaos when his clan Austment Grimstdür was utterly obliterated by Elves in a series of murders and assasinations. He swore to bring death to the Elven kind and threw away his old life and prayed to the night-sky, this night was the night when the chaotic moon was at it's fullest and Tor'aks prayers for power to slaughter was heard by the deamons of Khorne.
He is now on a never ending pursuit on the Elven kin, slaying all who is in his path.

[Zrascak]

Name: Zrascak
God: Tzeentch
Race: Elf
Gift: Powerful sorcery without any chanting or anything and the ability to change shape on whim.

Zrascak turned to chaos when the other elfs desecrated the whole society that he lived in because they believed that they had used black sorcery. The lie about black sorcery was spread out by a disguised dark elf and since then Zrascak hates both elf castes. When the turn came to execute Zrascak he suddenly gained the powers from his lineage as he was the orphan that was bred by a dark elf vanguard that unusually worshiped Tzeentch and and elf warlock. WHen this happened Zrascak turned to chaos and used the black magic that has come to be his signature for the first time. He summoned a great black flame without saying a single word and burned down three entire high elf camps at the same time. Tzeentch saw the opportunity to get an excellent sorcerer and gave him the power to use sorcery without a single word said first and many hundred years later the ability to shift shape on whim as a reward. Zracsak is allowed by Tzeentch to form his own plans thanks to his great inteligence and he is a master of both magical combat both as a sorcerer and as an elf warlock and a master of swordfighting and carries five diffeerent swords that he ahs acquired throughout his quest to honor Tzeentch. Four of the swords is longswords and one is a gigantic twohanded sword all strengthend by Zrascak's sorcery.

[Captain Malachi]

Name: Bjorn
God: Khorne
Race: Human

A warrior from the northern wastes, he joined Chaos simply because it is the way of his tribe. He comes from a tribe worshipping the Blood God and has, since a young age, been one of their greatest fighters. He is 32 now and has spent the vast majority of that time fighting, drinking or sleeping. Mostly fighting.

Can I ask a question? Are we going to be actually interacting with one another and if so, how?

[lictoralpha]

Jorund turned to chaos as it was the way of the tribe. Once a warrior comes of age, he jorneys to the Temple of Change and swears loyalty to Tzeentch. He prefers to use his head.

I don't think you quite get me, your gifts are generated randomly, the first is always the same depending on your god, after that completely random. But most gifts (except your starting gift and Mutations) can be refused and another random gift will be generated (always a Gift of the Gods).
So, people's starting gifts (will include in main post):
Jorund has: Exudes oily smoke (confuses enemies), and a Rod of Tzeentch (can immobilize enemies, they can resist through force of will-requires contact) and 7 Chaos Dwarf followers.
Tor'ak has: Chaos Armour level 1 (there are four levels, which go up when you receive this reward again. Higher level=better armour), Regeneration (self-explanatory) (sorry no followers, luck of the dice).
Zrascak has: (sorry to spoil it for ya, but you might get shapeshifting etc. if you persevere, it's all down to chance, i have tables with literally hundreds of entries, who knows?)A Cordial of Tzeentch (alters your strength, speed, etc. randomly for 24 hours, 1 use only), Temporal Instability (when under stress, you have a 1 in 6 chance of vanishing from reality for up to an hour), and Agility (extroardinary agility), and 10 Skaven (ratmen) followers.
Bjorn has: Chaos Armour level 1, 3 Harpy followers, Cloud of Flies (buzz in enemy's faces, make them not able to hit you easily).

And CaptainMelachi, you will, occasionally or often, but definetely sometime, come across another player's warband.

Updating main post...

[lictoralpha]

Snow White Jorund and the seven Dwarves are worshiping at ar altar of Tzeentxh

[Hellbreaker]

Tor'ak wakes up in a forest, it is a horrible sight and the trees seem sick and dying.

Huh, what happened?

He drags himself up on his feet and picks up his axe, which isn't there!
Tor'ak roars.

[Captain Malachi]

Edit- Ok, I posted something then realised it didn't fit the idea of this thread. So here's a new one:

Bjorn is defiling a temple to Slaanesh, his harpies are killing priests/priestesses.

[Zrascak]

(OOC: Can i get another gift than the followers since i hate worthless people. I have squads in some role plays but they are special made for my purposes. Can he still use sorcery without chanting since i thought that he had gained it as a special thing from his inheritage from a dark eldar sorcerer that also was good with swords and his high elf warlock parent. I know that it is odd but i like weird guys. If i have to have followers can't i get dark elfs praying to Tzeentch?)

[Hellbreaker]

(OOC: Zrascak... your guy has a fetish for rats, they're tzeentch rats and I don't think you can just get custom made stuff... just like life, you don't choose who you are, someone else does.)

[Zrascak]

(OOC: Well they will not be used very much but okay. How big are they really mansize or ratsize?)

[Captain Malachi]

(OOC: Skaven are roughly man sized, they hunch over though so seem shorter.)

[Zrascak]

(OOC: I do not really know how to play with a fetish for rats since i hae the little vermin so it will not be very convincing always.)

Zrascak runs in the temple hallways of a temple to the emperor to get out before the device that he has planted explodes.
