Brain of Cthulhu
(OOC) I have participated in roleplays before, and I have tried to organize some previously, however nobody was interested so I dont have a lot of practice with this. Alright, let's start.
(Backstory) Erik had come a long way since he was a child, having grown into the man he was today. He looked back at those memories fondly, and realises how much he misses those times. His expertise in many different types of combat made him a formidable foe, to say the least, until that terrible night...
[Inside Erik's house. It's raining outside, but the fireplace is cozy.]
Erik: So what do you think about this mission they're sending us on?
(Enter Valerie. Erik's SO, she is a powerful ranged weapon user.)
Valerie: I still don't know what to make of it. I understand that the goblins are experimenting with some dangerous magic, but why a full-on assault?
Erik, drinking water, does not reply.
Valerie: I mean, seriously. That was all they could think of?
Erik sits down.
Erik: It doesn't really matter, does it? As long as we stop them.
He holds out his arms, gives her a hug, and goes up to bed. Valerie sits there, wondering if this is actually a good idea at all.
[The next day. The team, consisting of Erik, Valerie, and some recruits they chose to help the mission. They are currently waiting on top of a hill near a goblin base/facility, where they occasionally see chaos balls fly out of the buildings.]
Recruit A: We have just returned from our recon, sir.
Erik: Excellent. Any news?
Recruit B: Not much, sir. All I was able to see is that they have been practicing with some sort of purple fire.
Erik: Thank you, recruit.
[A few hours later. It is now nighttime, and starting to rain.]
Erik: Looks like they're starting to go somewhere. Let's go!
Everybody stood for a second, shocked, but soon followed suit.
As they are running down, Valerie starts shooting with her Clockwork AR. Most of the goblins start to scramble, but one of the mages blasts Valerie with a few Chaos Balls. She is knocked over by the force of it, and her breathing starts to slow.
Erik: NO!
He runs to her side and picks her up. Everything seems to be in slow motion.
Erik, crying, whispering: No, please, you can't die like this. Please don't die on me, Valerie, please.
Valerie is still just laying there, her breathing getting slower and slower. She grabs Erik's shirt and pulls him closer.
Valerie, whispering: Please.. Carry on... Just make sure.. Don't let me die.. *coughing* in vain...
She takes in one final breath, as she looks up in the sky.
Valerie: The stars are beautiful tonight.
Erik, still crying, nods in agreement.
And she exhales one last time, as her eyes fall out of focus, reflecting the night sky.
[4 years later]
Erik is being sent out on another mission. His objective? Inhabit the New World, known as Mistfall, and defeat the evils that lurk there. And so that is where it all begins...
