I have the setting, location, history and theme down but I need help filling this world I've made. Please tell me if you would be interested in joining this RP based on the description.
Prepare for the wall of text...
You have found yourself suddenly aware you have been wandering in a vast wilderness for the past few days. It is completely devoid of human life from what you can tell. The only way to tell where you are and where you have been are a handful of landmarks spread far and wide from one another. Each one different from the next. But they all radiate a strange dormant power, part magic - part technological - part otherworldly... Then you see a sign out in the middle of nowhere it reads... Vanheim...
In this RP the setting in in a alternate reality where the forces of technology, magic and spirituality have all feuded till they became almost nonexistent. That said there is no actual good or evil, just what is perceived as those forces. The only true power is held within the 8 different Deus. My character Kane is a Deus himself, but he just like his brothers have fallen into a lost state. Some asleep, some imprisoned, some are unreachable completely, some are running - like Kane is.
The setting has some near-futuristic technology, some arcane magic and some fragmented pieces of religion. But the people and land are suffering from a lack of support. The Deus were to be that solution but it went wrong somewhere along the way and now Vanheim is on the verge of literal and metaphorical collapse.
Inside the story, for over a thousand years exactly, the Deus have been worshipped like deity. Unknown to the rest of the world the Deus are still just confused young adults, most were between the ages of 19-26, when they became imbued with the awesome power and responsibility of Deus. However in recent times all of them have gone missing, all but Kane, and the world fears him. He is viewed as the Devourer, an omen of bad luck and a pariah to be avoided at all cost. But this is just an old superstition that has been handed down generation to generation, no one knows who he is or even what he truly looks like. Also the time inside the story is sort of unlike anything you've seen before, there isn't a set previously existing real time period that this place can relate to. Certain areas have a lot of technology where others do not. Most areas are pretty disjointed and cut off from one another. There is a constant atmosphere of subtle fear that comes with survival.
Vanheim is all one world. But it is divided by fear, people live in cities that run off of a particular energy source that is abundant to them in their general geographic location. Some run on hydro-electric, others wind, some geo-thermal, some solar, etc.
Each one is cut off from the next by several miles and is surrounded by barren wilderness. There is no other way to travel than by foot. Are you prepared?
I'll admit that it is very descriptive in some areas and very vague in others but to be honest I had a very hard time putting the image I have for this RP into words. Again please let me know if you are interested.
I openly accept questions, concerns, comments, criticisms, complements and any other form of intellectually creative input.
