The Storyteller 8:30am, February 12, 2015 [Edit] [Delete] If you have a character from a Canon World, you can list it here, but mainly this is for "OC" or adapted Worlds. Post what you have for that here.  Castlevania: The Home of the Rulers of the Monster Races Lucifer Anghelscu 9:10am, February 12, 2015 [Edit] [Delete] Connected to our world by a variety of portals in key locations, Castlevania is the combination personal home and heart of Clan Drakul, with its main entrance located in the mortal location of Castle Dracula on Earth. Other locations are by and large, in places connected heavily with vampires in general but only open at various, specific moments and always with conditions...Even then, its an odd chance you end up where you want. Regardless, Castle Dracula was once a tourist spot before Clan Drakul bought and refurbished it. It remains today as the first mortal connection where most visitors are housed and business is conducted. But in its darkest depths and catacombs, lies the portal that is constantly open and guarded to the true Kingdom of the Vampires, where the name of Drakul is synonymous with Master. Castlevania! A shadowy realm of dark, sinister night and gray, cloudy days, where the Clan runs rampant and monsters run wild. It is a dangerous place for the unwary person and even visitors are advised to take extreme precautions. It is here that Dracula trains his best agents and lives and it is here that every son and daughter he has sired has proven themselves or died trying. The countryside looks very much like Europe...Dark forests, jagged mountains and cold, deep rivers with chunks of ice. A full moon rises and illuminates the world...It is always a full moon here. Residents have learned to prepare when it turns red, for in such times the Trials for his children begins and every denizen seeks out power to rise in the ranks, or simply to fulfill old grudges. For not all the children who come here show respect or proper thanks to others, believing their name will protect them. There are villages scattered here and there, little lights in the dark where the devoted live...Drakuls Gypsy servants, who have served faithfully for centuries and who are under his absolute protection. The price for killing one by any monster is swift and terrible in his wrath, for he has not forgotten their faith in him. According to their desires, they can help the Children or not in their trials...They also make up the bulk of Clan Drakul's spellcaster forces for their connection to the Clan. It is they who name the Children of Dracula, according to their natures. Anastasia "The Beast." Scarlette "The Huntress." Such are the titles they give. There are dark places here, hidden sections of this world where nameless things crawl and over it all, built into one of the mountains? Castlevania itself, for the realm is named. A castle the size of a city, radiating a dark aura to empower those of the Clan and rendering most electronics null, which is why magic and the old ways are so prevalent here as a matter of course. Here, serious judgements upon the Clan offenders are held. Here, Dracula sits upon his dark throne, the power to this realm added by all who came before. It is here, someday that Lucifer will have his turn...To fight his father and win control. Or to perish in the attempt.  The Empire of the Wyrm Lucifer Anghelscu 9:35am, February 12, 2015 [Edit] [Delete] A long time ago, there was a Black Knight who dreamed every night of fire and death. Haunted by the visions, his journey took him to the trolls of Arendelle who told him the truth. For though he was human, his soul was that of a powerful dragon who died in combat against a brave archer. Incensed at this revelation, the Black Knight made a vow to not rest, until he reclaimed his power and form in full and left to do just that. He had many adventures and met many strange beings on his journey. Until finally, one day...He did. Riding a black charger, clad in armor as dark as the night was he seen as he traveled. About his person, a shining ball of light glittered, his closest friend and confidante in the years to come. The Dwarven leaders cursed his very shadow, the elves kept well out of his way...Any Knights of the higher courts of Cair Paravel and Camelot were grim. For this was the Black Knight and so much more. He was fire, he was death. His armor was like tenfold shields...His teeth, swords. His claws spears. The shock of his tail was like unto a thunderbolt and his wings, the hurricane. And his breath, death...As a human, he could now add practicality to that grim, reptilian patience and cunning. And where he walked, a word whispered harshly among those who knew of him and his work, mirroring that of another time long ago, on the slopes of Erebor when the men of Dale heard his coming and knew it to be their doom. Smaug is here. And behold his works. Set in a realm of heavy volcanic activity, the Empire of the Wyrm makes it mark in metallurgy and crops, using the Fire to hone both...The volcanic ashes for the crops and the heat for their forges. Smaug here, protects his realm jealously and with the mindset of a dragon and a knight-commander both. His forces ride on the wings of wyverns and there are other dragons who have sworn loyalty to his hand, alongside his chosen...The Knights of the Red Claw. Its people are productive, his coffers are overflowing and now and then, the skies darken with the wingbeat of a dragon and its people know its ruler is watching out for them. Such is the Empire of the Wyrm. Such is the home of his daughter, Milyn.   Ryoga Kamishiro 4:49pm, February 12, 2015 [Edit] [Delete] Barian World Astral World and Barian World are parallel planes of existence born from our world. Sargasso is the dimensional space found between the two worlds. Long ago there existed only Astral World. Humans who died with the spiritual desire to Rank-Up were reborn as Astralians. Eventually the Astral World itself desired to Rank-Up, and believed the only way to do this was by banishing all chaos from their world. Astralians with chaos in their hearts were banished from Astral World, leading to the creation of Barian World. It became that Astral World was a world of Order, and Barian World a world of Chaos. Now humans who die with the power of Chaos in their hearts are reborn as Barians. This is not to say Barian World is in any way an evil world. Chaos is the desire for oneself, a force that drives primitive life to keep on living, to protect others, as well as the heart's ability to keep hoping. While Chaos also gives way to create negativity such as hatred and malice and can cause suffering to those that abuse it, it is also the source of life itself. Barian World is a high-energy world dominated primarily by huge Baria crystals, sprawling red tundras, and oceans. It was once ruled by the evil Barian god Don Thousand, but since his destruction the war between Astral World and Barian World has ended and the two worlds live in relative harmony.
