(Based in the same world as the Baldurs Gate Series - but not any crossover with the canon game itself, just the same universe,
No CC's from Baldurs Gate will be present in this RP)
Altak - A little pit of hell in the sand dunes of the Forgotten Realms
It was a maximum security prison by itself as an Island, but it was also known by another name
The 'Great Filter' Of the Sword Coast, A town notorious for its harsh punishment and corrupt guard.
Criminals by any name were transported, by crossing into the wrong waters or taking an apple from the wrong merchant; Altak was the price to pay no matter the crime.
The region's government saw it as nothing more than a gutter drain that would wash down all the trouble headed their way, keeping their streets clean at the price of innocents being thrown in for petty crimes and misdemeanors... It was a pleasant way for officials to "disappear" problematic political members too.
Altak was a merit-based prison, Prisoners could earn their freedom to leave... If only they survive first.
The Prison was a form of entertainment for the locals, pitting prisoners against each other in deadly arena's that changed constantly... No form of escape in the cells below, no form of escape under the free skies above.
The Prison was run by a half Orc Warden by the name of Roth, The "Man" didn't care what your crime was, he'd be happy to extend the sentence spent in the cells beneath than allow for a fair chance to fight.
They'd rather wait, till the prisoner was weakened, starved, abused by the hierarchy down below, before letting anyone squirm their way to freedom.
Not to mention the choice of fighting your own fellow prisoners just to make it out, betrayal was served as commonly as the thin gruel given for prisoners to stomach.
It was in this very place that Y/N found themselves, by some twist of fate or misfortune, a misstep while creeping through the darkness, a clumsy shuffle of the cards... You too found your way into this heavenly little pit of hell on the sweltering shores of Altak.
You were thrown into the pit without so much as a trial, your background, your history, your powers, all that you had left with you, the only things that remained with you...
A note clasped between your fingers, slipped to you from a faceless prisoner - A warning that Your time was soon approaching and that you should find someone to keep you alive through your first round of the Arena.
You needed allies, and ones that wouldn't stab you in the back to escape, The cold chill of approaching death was enough to get You onto your feet... There were plenty of practiced veterans of the Arena to speak to, But if you could trust them, well that's only up to your gut, and the luck of the dice~
(Loosely based in the DND and therefore Baldurs Gate universe, Your Character will be up to you yourself, you do not need a character sheet (at least not with the same detail as an actual DND character sheet) but your details and background are purely up to yourself.
You may play as any Gender/Species/Race/Origin/"Class"/Sexuality
As always, nsfw and romance are optional but not required in the rp, please ask or mention in discussion prior to starting the RP itself,
I'm looking for engaging writers that want to have their own creative agency inside the rp and not just following suit, a couple paragraphs is great and anything more is perfect.
If you liked the RP please DM and we can get things started!
To let me know you've read ALL of the rules and the RP itself comment or DM "Larian" along with your message.
