Not just an empire, Exotica is an artificial utopia, deceiving and yet perfect. It exists in a parallel dimension called limbo, a realm consisting of demons and the dead--and so it follows that this is a false heaven.
Sitting atop the throne is Sigma Delirious, a harvester and collector of rare beings with unique powers, searching deep within all for secrets pertaining to the fabric of creation and true immortality--so that in due time, he may even rise among the ranks of Hell. He governs with the strength of his numerous artifacts and his own unique powers, bending the lines demons are not meant to cross--he creates, while it is within the nature of all demons to destroy. In the meanwhile he raises his army, and slaves are treated according to worth, their lives dictated to them by the will of their ruler and the nefarious deeds of his soldiers. From arranged breedings to daily tasks, they're expected to do as instructed. Deals are wrought with other prides/establishments, consisting of things such as black magic and fine cannibalistic dining, in trade for intel or, as often is the case, souls.
Lore
Beginning his life near the midsection of Ancient Greece's existence, Sigma is a progenitor demon--born without parents, created by happenstance. In time he found ways to murder others of his kind, feasting on their power and hoarding the demonic artifacts their souls crystallized into. He was ambitious with his eyes set on the throne of Hell, and once it was realized how big of a pain he was, he went into hiding--emerging two millenniums later far wiser.
There he began preparing for building his empire, starting it by breeding with a lesser demon--it was an act of curiosity if anything, and the outcome resulted in three cubs; Razor, Federal, and Vehemence. Two had twisted minds beyond repair while the third held promise--and squandered it for the love of a mortal.
Federal was given the opportunity to rise to the occasion, and he merely sent two subordinates out to do the dirty work and while they succeeded in killing Razor and his mate Trinity, they brought back one cub and the other older offspring went missing. He would regret his idiocy by the loss of his father's trust from that day forth, but would receive the cub to look after--a fate far worse than death as far as Fexol was concerned. His spirit and body were broken, and whatever demonic ability he had was tethered like a dog on a chain for Federal's whims. He had freedom for a time, and when he began to heal into being a more independent being, Sigma dragged him back in and attempted to break him once more. He succeeded.
Noxol on the other hand harvested his contempt for his grandfather, taking his few years in isolation to hone his skills and swore to one day free Fexol from this hell--if only he could, after so long had passed, track Sigma down. His journey brought him through many trials and errors, both in joy and in pain, and the beast he is now is something that could just possibly strike down Sigma.
And now we reach the height of the war--Noxol is advancing on his doorstep, and Sigma, who has known no challenge, fortifies his seat in preparation for turning the world upside down. He now has a card Noxol knows nothing of--Raiden, a daughter of considerable power. Sigma moved Exotica for a time and went quiet to raise her, and now that she's ready, the gates have been opened.
A storm is coming.
Rules
- Only pure demons may hold any true rank.
- Unnamed slaves may be counted as an environmental detail; while players may apply characters for such roles, to help balance the pride to be what it was intended to be players may write actions for NPCs.
- Keep in mind fatality rates for slaves and for cubs.
- Remember that some aspects of characters involved in this pride must be taken to single-chats on Skype or wherever you'd like. Public rping of trigger-sensitive material is prohibited though not every roleplay incorporates these issues!
- Any number of slaves may join, however note that to leave Exotica, they must have a knowledge of magic or know another who does and can assist them in order to leave Limbo. Otherwise even if they did get past guards and out of Exotica, wraiths and other abominations would quickly claim them here in this world of in-between.
- We are stationed in the Old Greatfalls map. The two maps Greatfalls and Old Greatfalls existing in parallel is perfect for this pride, as it gives players an idea of how the world Exotica lives in is different from the mortal version of the area. Acting as the portal between Greatfalls and Exotica, there is a small cluster of stone statues, one of which holding a jade crystal in its mouth--when touched, this is the portal into--but not out of--Limbo.
- Should you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, feel free to message me or skype me at final.jump. I'm always willing to listen, and while this pride isn't for everybody due to its twisted nature, I want it to be fun for everybody involved.
Life
- Adolescents whom have rank will undergo a test to prove their stock, and should they pass, they will be sent out of Limbo to make a deal with a mortal. The terms of which are up to the individual as well as how quickly the said deal may be completed, but they must still return within a year and with something to show for their efforts, such as a soul, an artifact that has some sort of power, ect. They may make a deal with multiple mortals as well, such as a group or a pride. Making deals with other demons is also acceptable.
* Deals may also be referred to as contracts; they are unbreakable on either end, and should such an attempt be made, the result depends on the nature of the deal. Fertility may result in permanent inability to reproduce, failure to kill may result in being killed, ect.
* This also serves as a way for young adults to develop powers.
- Most adult members will be given a sector to personally govern. What the sector contains will usually be up to the player.
- While mating with mortals or those of lesser blood is tolerated, cubs born of such activities are not. Cubs will be killed or used in experiments, and the demonic sire/mother will undergo punishment. They will be stripped of rank if they argue their side.
- Due to the nature of Sigma and his prior experience in human affairs, Exotica is furnished similar to a human establishment. Tapestry, carpets, pillows, ect. The pens for the slaves is certainly less cultured in comparison--specifically built for animals.
- Demonic beings may be able to change their surroundings; as such, slaves of mixed demonic blood are kept separate and watched carefully in case they realize this is possible.
