Story: As was predicted at the beginning of time, the end will come eventually. It was declared that the Lost Gods, none of which had been lost at the time, would return to the world. All of the Known Gods would break the Contract of UnInvolvement at once, and a final war would break out across Runescape. All who were would side with the god they followed before, and their very ancestors would return to fight beside their gods. Brother would be turned against sister, father against son, mother against daughter. Then the very essence of Gielnor would be split apart, as the forces unknown even to the gods would tear out of Karamja, out of the volcano, out from under the Tz-Hzaar. The adventurers, however, the strongest group in all of runescape, the only one who would even have a chance of ending the war, has split itself up between all of the group, even the Horrors, as the creatures from beneath the crusts call themselves. Which faction will come out victorious?

Rules:

You ARE your character from runescape. Over time, you've been able to perfect every single skill. However, this doesn't mean that you don't have a speciality. You can choose ONE speciality, and it can't be an combat skill. For example: Master Hunter: He can track down anything. Even if it normally wouldn't leave anything to track it with. It shouldn't give you any way to kill something in one hit, or even two. For example: Explosives Master: His extensive knowledge of Herblore has let him make explosives. I might except this if it can't affect creatures, but otherwise, no. You're speciality can give you up to two special bonuses, plus all the abilities that would normally come with that. (I might accept fire-master, as that would have been used anyway in a battle (burning down buildings, etc.) but I will kick you out if you abuse it.) Armor isn't really important, as we're assuming that everything has the highest level of armor it can wear, or has had it enchanted so that it's the same as the highest level it can wear. Same with weapons. Also, you CAN wear layers of stuff here. Duel wielding is allowed, as you can just as easily block with a sword/hammer/whip as a shield. Ok, so the shield would be easier. You get my point.

I see that we're bringing in new members, good work and keep it up, chaps!

Wow, this actually sounds good. I like the way you've removed the limitations of a video game... from a video game, if you get my drift.

I might app, but later.

Oh and lol Demutig? How can you heal someone before they are even hurt? Yah... random...

I apologize. The Slayer Master is strong and effective against beasts. He knows their weaknesses and uses these against them. This way, he is able to kill monsters others can't even touch. Because he's been fighting monsters all his life, he is not used to fighting human opponents who use potions and prayers, making him weaker than the average 'PvP-er'

And I'd like to know as well: what's a GM?

I think the it means a Game Master or Game Moderator. I beleive the term originated with Dungeons and Dragons.

A Game Master was originally the score keeper in Postal Games. What would happen is that in a game like Diplomacy all the players would mail their actions to the GM and then the GM mailed the results back to everyone.

In PBP Role Playing A gamemaster decides the outcome of actions. For example Player A is a Knight with a Rune Square Shield, Player A is walking through a canyon when Player B pushed some large rocks into the Canyon onto Player A. Player A tries to block with shield. The Gamemaster would decide the outcome here.

The character dossiers used here are too vague for step by step moderation however.

Deimos, you disappoint me.

I expected this from Leo and Clicky Wicky, but not you.

Meh, Game Master is quite an out of use term on Sals forums.

Besides using it is nothing more than a novelty and really, the only one who can really GM in the type of role playing that happens on sals is the topic creator themself, or incase the topic creator is going inactive an appointed person of the RP. Only really in the sense of whistling back some people on some overdone actions and to advance the plot.

In general, I don't really see the use of appointing a Co-GM unless the need arises due to expected inactivity.

Also, I believe that on sals we more commonly refer to it as DM, on the rare occasions that we do use it.

No! I disappointed the great one.

I have no more reason to live. /wrists

All accepted... But does anyone wanna be a GM?!?!?

I do! I do! After I apply! Good for my ego!

@ Aliath: OOOOOOIII. DOES THOU DOUBT MY ROLEPLAYING SKILLS?

Meh, if you message me with what I have to do, you can make me a GM if you want. When do we start, anyway?

THOUEST HATH DO INDEED DOUBEST OF THEE'S ROLEPLAYING SKILLS!

SMITE THEE!!!

The name reflects his social standing and his personality as well. Using foreign names always works out well for me.
I think you should ask Mage Pone to re-write his name. It honestly is a not a roleplay name. I'd also like to request for a DM slot, if possible. Please, only accept experienced roleplayers to be a DM, who knows what the hell might happen if one of the newbies turn out to be a troll, or become a godmodder.

Ok, guys. You get in as GMs. However, I reserve the right to kick you out of being GMs whenever. We need one more person. Deimos, GMs control the storyline to a certain extent, though I can cancel anything that contridicts the storyline I've planned for this. We need one more GM if Deimos likes that idea.



Accepted.

So if us DMs are terrible, you'll demote us of the position, correct?
Thanks for ignoring my advice, though.

Clickwiki made a good point; you need weathered veteran RPers to be DM, if only just to keep this rowdy bunch under control.

I'll take the DM spot, btw.

Name: Benny
Speciality: Healing
Combat Preference: Magic
Gender: Male
Appearence: Benny wears a pure white robe and hood and carries a staff with a glowing light source on it.
Weapons: Staff Of Healing
History: Benny is the son of the priest of Lumbridge and used to work at the church but then he wanted to accually help people .

Accepted.

Deimos, like I said, if I don't like a GM, I can demote them to normal player. IF they are making the game surround their character, ETC, I will demote them, no matter what their reason. Thanks for the suggestion though.

One more GM slot.

Are we starting now?

As soon as we get the last GM.

If that's it I'll be GM.

Ok. Who want's first IC?

You need to IC to get us all started.

Wow, so I'm a GM?
I didn't apply for it or anything, but that's cool.
So, what does it mean to "IC"? It says "in character", but of course, this is my first time being in a role-playing thing; so I don't know too much about it, but I'll try and see how this goes.

Read sticky, please.

I was fearing such a reaction.
*reads sticky a bit more closely*
I think I've got it now, I was suspecting a meaning similar to that.

cool story bro

I watched Donnie Darko and it was a good movie. Good luck role-playing.

Alright, first things first. I need to point out the political situation. None of the lands, except Entrana and the Gnome Tree Village, has sided with a god. The Menephystian Pantheon (Please let me know if I spelt that wrong) was quickly destroyed at the beginning of the war, but they still have a few supporters. The three most powerful gods retain a tentative alliance (which means they'll kill everyone else before they kill each other) but that might change at any second. Currently, Ardougne has the most power, because of the Paladins and Warrior Woman, and Champions. Zaros is based in the Void, Zamorak in the Wilderness, Sardomin on Entrana, and Guthix in the Gnome Tree Stronghold. The Barbarians are refusing to fight in the war, and instead are focussing on keeping the penance from escaping and reaping havoc. The Kalphite Queen has set up a burrow outside of the barbarian outpost, trying to get a potentially great ally out. The Horrors are working against all others, and have the service of the Tz-Hzaar. Most monsters have created their own group, lead by the Dagonath. However, the really loyal ones, such as Demons and Goblins have sided with their god. The god war dungeon no longer holds anything, as they all left to side with their god.

IC: Snowskeeper crept throught the wilderness, seeming to blend with the gray landscape untill only a shimmer was visible. He'd seen some Snow Imps, probably spying for the Snow Queen, and he was tracking them down. They hadn't bothered with covering their tracks, it was clearly visible they had been going straight south. Suddenly, he heard a bush rustling. He put away his wip, and instead took out a Noose Wand. slipping it carefully into the bush, he tightened it and yanked up. Their was a snow imp alright... He smashed the thing into the ground a few times, then released it and took his whip out again after replacing the noose wand. The Zamorakian encampment was only a couple of miles from here, but that still might have been too far if he was meeting someone. Leaving the corpse, he returned to the encampment. And almost immediately turned around againg, because a battle-horn sounded. The words that anyone not trained in the code of the battle-horn wouldn't understand said that it was time to make an attack against varrock. Already, half of the people in the encampment were readying themselves to leave.

Ok, my turn now...

IC: Sir Snow was looking through the lens of his telescope, adjusting it here and there, and then took out a small metal box with small flashing lights. He attached it to the telescope, and after a moment, he took it off of the telescope, and quietly said to himself, "Still no sign..." and started walking towards the portal to Varrock he had set up inside of his house earlier. He paused, as if troubled with a thought, and took his Leaf-Bladed Sword, along with its sheath, out of its display case. After he had locked the portal leading to the inside of his house, he stepped into the pulsing orange membrane of the portal. The Grand Exchange was strangely empty today, and it seemed as if a cloud had gathered over much of Varrock...

Darkness seemed to be emanating from the north as the front row of a group of Black Demons walked solemnly towards the city.,

This is kind of fun.
Snow, fearing that something bad is going to happen, takes out his Crossbow, and some Black Dragonhide, goes to Edgeville using the shortcut; and looks towards the Wilderness. A small army of Black Demons is heading towards Varrock from the looks of it, and he runs towards the Varrock Palace to make sure the entire city isn't caught by surprise.

OOC: Wait Snowkeeper didn't you say you weren't making anyone new a DM?
Also what city belongs to Armadyl?

OOC: Armadyl owns the Fremminik

OOC:

IC: Fake sighed as he walked around the city. He walked down a tunnel and continued to walk for a few minutes until he reached a throne room.

"Yes, what is it, boy?" A glorious voice asked.

"Have we been able to strike peace with the Saradomins?"

"I have not been able to contact him, but most of the cities agree to work together, but Avarrocka hasn't made a decision, I want you to go there and make peace between us." The god said.

Fake bowed and used a Varrock teleport, one of the last ones left, to go into the semi deserted city of Varrock. The fountains weren't even on, the first time he had ever seen that. He continued north until he was at the palace gates, the guards with heavy patrol on it.

"Halt, in thy name of Saradomin, state your being here." A Guard commanded.

"You can call me Fake, the boy of Armadyl, I demand to speak to your King to declare peace among these two empires." Fake said.

"Allow us to escort you," The guard said. Fake knew it was because they didn't trust him. Once he reached the king's room the guard said, "We have someone here to meet you."

"And who is that?" The King bluntly responded.

"That'd be me." Fake replied, "I've come here to talk about peace."

OOC: Someone play the king.
