Requaero Paradiso
Requaero Paradiso. At Humanity’s darkest hour, will you continue towards the fading flame, or will you give yourself to the all-consuming dark? Time runs short, as the sickness grows deeper within you by the second. Choose now. Will you continue to trust in God, or will you find your answer through the whispers of Demons?
Requaero Paradiso is a semi-historical story driven RP based on apocalyptic plague-infested Europe during the late medieval / early renaissance era. It will be a story of intense survival, politics, religion, and facing the unknown. The story will not be locked into one setting; Florence is merely where the story will begin (as it was among the first major locations to be historically devastated by the Black Death). Likewise, your character does not necessarily have to be Florentine; nor even European, for that matter (Think Bursa-based Ottoman Turk, Egyptian Mamluk, Altan Ordo Mongol, Berber, etc ). Roman-Catholicism is not the only major religion to be involved in this RP, and you should certainly not limit your character creation to such thoughts, regardless of how heavy dogma plays into the plot. That said, try to be historically accurate. You’re not going to be allowed to RP say, a Native American Shaman or a Japanese Monk unless you give some very good reasoning as to what business you have in plague-infested Italy. You may be asked to modify your characters,
Also, don’t worry about not starting with any supernatural abilities. It would be boring if we just roleplayed as mere mortals, would it not? ; )
For now, combat will be strictly story / text driven, obviously with no godmoding or anything of the sort (Lest I, the GM, decide to end your efforts with a swift death for your hubris). Unless someone could recommend me something that isn’t completely time-consuming and unnecessary (I’d prefer not to use dice). This will be a story driven RP, after all. Multiple characters are allowed.
Oh yeah, and you’ll probably die at some point. In the case it does happen, don’t worry too much. You probably won’t stay dead for long.
