All righty then. By choice of vote. Demon Hunter's Association(The DHA) has beaten out Stories of the Grand Empire. Don't get dismayed though, I'll return to that story at some point (probably regardless of whether the original cast is still interested at this point). Now then. The DHA exists in order to protect the world from Demons. Demons are creatures that sneak through cracks between the real world and a parallel world. They conquer these worlds and the conquest leads to cracks into different dimensions and the cycle continues. These cracks can take various forms which will probably be explored as the story goes on. There are some mechanics that need to be gone over before you think about creating a character. Sex&Magic: Obviously, this is a sexual RPG and I felt like it would be more engaging to involve sex with the game mechanics. The magic that the demons' influence has caused to surface in certain individuals feeds off of sexual energy. This can be stored in the body and exerted in order to empower your abilities. Consensual sex results in a gain of energy for both partners(+1) whereas non-consensual sex results in a gain of more energy for the assailant(+2) and a drain of energy for the victim. You'll start with a small amount of energy depending on what you wish to do and if it ever falls into the negatives, you'll be left as a drained husk by your assailant. Each character can have one major ability and up to one minor ability. The major ability should be something that you can use to fight demons. For example: Throwing fireballs or empowering a weapon. Minor abilities are generally utility abilities. Such as The ability to create an artificial source of light, or to sense nearby demons who are weaker than you. All abilities cost magic and the more magic you use on an ability, the more effective it will be. Demons: Demons are obviously the primary enemy that you'll be facing. Demons sneak through the gaps between dimensions through cracks and while it's not always the case, they tend to arrive very weak with only a fraction of their power. These demons then absorb energy from the local residents and use that to become more powerful. They are essentially energy leeches. Even consensual sex with them will lead to a net gain of energy for themselves and a net loss of energy for their partner. So you might want to consider if it's worth it to stick it in that girl with a lizard tail... Unlike Humans, they do not need energy in order to use their abilities. Instead, that energy makes them more dangerous or more enticing predators. Demons have been classified into "Grades" that determine how powerful they are. Grade 0 (phantasmal): These are newly formed demons and tend to take the form of ghostly or even animalistic identities. Don't get cocky though, they are very much demons and are just as intelligent as one. They're mostly not dangerous and are only a risk to the people unfortunate enough to encounter them. Grade 1(Beastial): These demons have begun to take on more dangerous forms. These can be either more humanoid or monstrous depending on the nature of the particular demon. They're dangerous and can threaten small communities. Grade 2(Humanoid): These demons have jumped their monstrous nature into something that's potentially far more dangerous. They become a form that can often integrate into society freely. They can potentially cause the deaths of many people before they're finally tracked down. However, often this is the upper echelon of your average demon. It takes a large amount of energy or a particularly voracious demon to jump to the next stage. Grade 3(Monstrous): These are the creatures that haunt your nightmares. While often regressing into a more Beastial state. The monstrous demons have become efficient at doing their job and gaining energy. They may have the ability to hide who they are, but most demons in this category have some power or ability that lets them drain large swaths of the population at a time. These creatures can threaten entire cities with destruction. Grade 4(Apocalyptic): The pinnacle of demonic evolution. As their name implies, these demons threaten the entire world. Any demon regardless of what form it takes should be considered extremely dangerous and should only be approached with a skilled team of hunters. The evolution of Demons is not a straight line. A phantasmal who is fed a large amount of energy can shift immediately into a Humanoid and an Apocalyptic who has lost the source of their power can quickly devolve into something more Beastial. Rape: I've already touched on the mechanics of sex in the story and obviously brought up non-consensual sex. A character can quickly gain in power from this act. However, it's also important to keep in mind that the DHA is not an evil organization and that you're essentially forcibly draining and potentially killing the victim. I'm not going to disallow such an act, but if you get caught and reported to a superior, you'll be promptly stripped of your membership and imprisoned(your character will go away). so consider it well whether it's worth the risk or not. Also, I feel like it goes without saying that being defeated by a demon will probably result in some sort of nonconsensaul activity. I'll try to cater these encounters to your character's sexuality though(so providing that is important). I'd rather not boy on boy non-con with someone uninterested in such things for example. Pregnancy: The general rule here is going to be pretty simple. You don't have to worry about getting pregnant or impregnating someone unless you want to impregnate or get impregnated for some reason. I've always been kind of against consequence-free sex. You shouldn't feel like you can go off and have all sorts of unprotected sex without consequences. It just doesn't happen. However, in this case, I'm not going to hyper-analyze every encounter you have to see if you or your partner got pregnant. So for the most part, you're probably fine. That doesn't mean that you're completely free though. Most demons are interested in energy, but if you get defeated by a demon that wants something more, then it's definitely a risk that exists within the business. Hypothetically demons can get pregnant and impregnate humans. You can take a minor ability that influences fertility one way or another depending on your preference...although that isn't going to help you in all situations(see: ovipositor) Vore: You could get eaten by a monster....just saying. Either nommed in a messy gorefest, or swallowed whole. Demons aren't known to pull their punches. Other character information: Obviously this is a low-fantasy setting(Kind of?). The vast majority of people are going to be humans. You can be of any nationality or race(The DHA is a multinational organization), but elves and dwarves are kind of out....technically. There is a loophole to this. You can have non-human traits if they're tied to an ability. It should also be something that's hidable for the most part. As far as equipment goes, it can pretty much be whatever your character would normally carry on a mission. Better things might be found over time, but since this is Low Fantasy. It's not like you're going to be finding upgraded or magical equipment around every corner. Being defeated isn't necessisarily the end. forced energy draining is something that typically results in the victim being rendered unconscious and it's possible...even likely that a defeated and drained Demon Hunter will be able to regain consciousness and escape. However, you do leave yourself to be the victim of whatever the demon has in mind. This could result in you being unrecoverable, killed, or all sorts of other things. I don't normally like allowing player vs player stuff unless there's stats involved, because that makes it easier to decide who wins, but then i realized...there are stats. Magic and your abilities. While they should be rare, any fight between Demon Hunters will likely come down to the nature of their ability, the amount of power they put into the ability, and their imagination. so I think that massive wall of text should give everyone a pretty good idea about how things will go and what information to provide on their character sheet. I tried to think of whatever questions might come up and answer them, but if you need more guidance, feel free to ask more questions. Essentially the information i'm looking for is Name: Age: Description: Sexuality/preferences/fetishes(if you want them to be known): Major Ability: Minor Ability: (If you want one off the bat) Equipment: Starting Magic(Ideally between 0 and 2. Just enough to get you started.): Abilities will be gained over time, so don't create your character with the idea that the ability that you start with is the only ability you'll have. Nor with the expectation that the ability you have won't develop over time. Remember that you're new Hunters and should have plenty of room to grow.

For your major ability, I would imagine that investing more magic into it will increase the amount of enhancement that you gain, but also increases how long it takes to recharge. For your minor ability, it's going to start at a relatively short range. Maybe the radius of the room or several feet around you, but putting magic into it will increase that radius of detection. Much like Silas' ability, you can use magic to increase the distance and power that you can throw, but at the cost of a longer recharge period. Your minor ability is pretty powerful already(especially for a minor ability). It'll already be able to pierce through all but the strongest illusions....Although, there will be some powerful illusions that you cannot see through. These would be pretty rare and nothing that you'll be encountering in the near future(probably). For those, you would have to channel magic into the ability to break through. I'm just Improvising here. If you have a better idea of how you want them to work, or disagree then that's fine. Feel free to share them.

Mira's abilities are fine as they are. I was just giving the rundown on how her abilities probably work under the magic system.
Anyone remember this? I'm super sorry for the delay in getting this started, we just had a pretty high up member of management quit at work and pretty much me being the only person able to cover for that person has led to several looong days since my last update(My place of employment has a super high turnover rate). I'm still planning on doing this with a tentative Wednesday starting date. That should give everyone still interested in this a chance to check in and maybe any new people who wants to join a chance to see it. It's just super frustrating, because this is exactly what happened to Grand Empire. I decided to start things up and immediately I get inundated with a fuckton of hours at work or someone quits or who knows what else.
Interesting setting, mind if I come along for the ride?

All righty then. We're just waiting for @GenericEditor168 's character, then we'll be ready to get started.
All right. the main game thread is up over here folks. This is the start. Sorry that it's taken so long. The introduction essentially exists solely to recommit to the game. It's a large auditorium with plenty of open seats, but you can be sitting as closely or as far from one another as you want or even have some introductory conversations amongst yourselves. @GenericEditor168 or anyone who wants to join in... If/when you get around to making a character you can pretty much join whenever.
Just a note, i'm not thinking of changing the rules just yet, but I may implement a rule that you can only gain magic from banging the same person once every 24 hours. It's just to keep the story from devolving into just a constant orgy.
