another RP by Fluxxation
The story of Voidtouched Reality isn’t one of saving the world, it’s one of trying to fix it. You’ve already lost.. by a lot. You’re practically trying to hang on because of how close you are to losing completely.
It all begins with an elder god known as Licentia. He simply wants all of the universe to become one with him. He corrupts and transforms worlds to fit his will. He has been around since the dawn of time. He is nigh unkillable, and can survive direct exposure to the worst the universe can throw at you.
Around 7000 years ago, Licentia came to earth, raining down massive void orbs, immediately corrupting around 10 percent of the planet. People tried to fight the hideous creatures that emerged from the void, but they only became part of the void themselves. He landed, shattering a third of the planet with a stomp, anchoring himself to the core and corrupting it from within. In a few weeks time, 85 percent of the world was corrupted.
The universe desires balance above all else. So from the depths of a dying star arose a hero so powerful that he was contained by the elder gods. Integritas. He raced to earth, landing within a church in the center of the still pure parts of earth, and he began to push back against the the void, a radiant sunshine blinding and melting all those inside the church. He closed the doors, and then fortified himself to continue pushing.
Over the next few thousands of years, he slowly lost, the space growing a few inches smaller every day, both gods weakening exponentially in the process, still going and driven by their deep hate for each other, which seemed to be wired into the both of them even though they have never met.
Today. 99.99972 percent of earth has been corrupted by the void. There’s a small island and a bit of water around it that hasn’t been corrupted yet. Another 50 years and soon this battle will be lost, and earth will fall. Or will it..? The elder god sits within a throne halfway around the world directly opposite to our hero, Integritas. Touching the void is very quickly lethal, and not very much can push the void back.
Tell me, hero. Do you have what it takes to try and save this world? Do you even think it worthwhile to protect what little hope humanity has?

Licentia is an elder god who’s obsession with corruption lead to his desire for earth. He wields immense power and can kill the average human with very little effort. He is one of the wisest beings in the universe, but yet he is blinded by his desire for control.
Integritas is an ancient warrior designed by the elder gods should one of them betray the others. He’s imbued with holy light, divine power, and the exact abilities to counter any of the elder gods. He was locked away inside of a star and put dormant until a time in which he was needed. He is also quite wise, but he is blinded by a desire for power.
The concept of alliance is rather simple. You’re one of 5 things.
Void: You ARE a void creature and therefore obviously fight for the void
Void supporter: You ARE NOT a void creature but are a pure anarchist, wanting the world to end.
Pure: you ARE NOT a void creature and want to restore the world
Pure supporter: You are a sentient and not originally corrupt void creature (as corrupted are mentally forced to fight for the void) and you want the world to restored.
Unaffiliated: You don’t care what happens, whoever promises better rewards gets your help

Void supporter: You ARE NOT a void creature but are a pure anarchist, wanting the world to end.

I created this concept as a balance system. This is not an either or as the title may suggest, but more of a basis for characters.
Simply put, magic is usually much better at cleansing and restoring, and mechanical weapons/not magic weapons are way better and destroying void creatures. This means both must work in synergy to both heal the land and defeat swarms of void creatures/cleanse friendlies.

In order to maintain a fair power gradient and make sure that you don’t just teleport over and curbstomp Licentia, I’m going to balance check most characters and make sure most are at or below a certain point. Please understand I’m not trying to be a killjoy, I just don’t want to ruin the premise of the RP.
The void can be pushed back a bit via sunlight/purelight weapons. This takes a toll on the weapon, and based on your characters abilities/race can mean it breaks rather fast or may break slower. While you can cleanse areas briefly, within a few minutes they usually revert to their original state.
Cleansing a Voidtouched person is much more difficult, it usually involves the perfect amount of exposure, not enough to destroy them, but enough to slowly melt the void from them. Sometimes it’s smarter to amputate areas of void exposure if you aren’t within an area that has the peace and assurance that you need to make sure you aren’t attacked during a cleansing.
Cleansing a fully voidtouched person is even more difficult. As they will fight back much harder and require exposure to Integritas himself to heal. This is difficult cause exposure to Integritas as a pure person causes severe burns, and when close enough, even incineration.

Exposure to the void causes corruption. It starts with a surface level corruption. The void is sentient, so it slowly attempts to cover the person fully, once this happens, said person begins to be slowly eaten away inside of their void casing and replaced with void. Once the process is complete, the outer shell hardens and warps and the Voidtouched becomes a void creature, gaining access to void abilities and magic. Almost all Voidtouched you encounter were once people. The longer a voidtouched is in the void, the less human they appear, and the stronger they become. Some of the largest and oldest voidtouched resemble giant crabs and have insanely powerful void magic and abilities. After long enough, a void touched also looses the ability to speak, and can only communicate with other voidtouched. Said person also slowly looses their memories over this time. Void corruption causes a person the mindlessly fight for the void against their will unless cleansed. However, originally voidspawned creatures possess a clear mind, they’re just usually so indoctrinated that they fight for the void.
The land corrupted by the void is very strange. The illusion that Licentia wants to create is that the whole world is a ruined mess of blobs of void, but that is very untrue. The closer the land is to the border of the light, the more it seems like reverse evolution. There’s a ring of bubbling and churning void surrounding the pure area for about 5 miles. This has primarily nothing in it. Possibly a few lesser void beings, or those who recently were dragged or fell in. About 25 miles outside of that, there’s a band of what seems like cooling void. There’s streams of it still churning, but most of it is solid and rocky. There’s almost nothing here also. Beyond that there’s a weird water-less ocean which extends for a while. Here there are very ancient voidtouched beings, they’re so old that they’ve lost all touch of humanity and hunt like the ancient creatures of the past. There are some plants and an entire food chain here. Beyond that there’s grasslands and then forests, actual biomes coming too. Whole ecosystems there, but slightly smarter and less animalistic voidtouched there, still very ancient. Getting somewhat close to the center there are primitive groups of voidtouched who still seem rather human, making groups, talking in their own language, among other things. After they finally start loosing it, they’re sent into the wilds just beyond. Inside of this, in a few mile radius of the epicenter of the void, there’s a medieval city with a wall and the most human of the voidtouched, in the center a castle with the master of the void himself. There are some voidtouched which Licentia wants to keep as they are, or empower without forcing them
To grow older. These are his advisors, warriors, and guards. They reside within the city.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The first 5 miles corrupt on contact, the next 25 corrupt if you touch the ground or the vents of churning void. Only the voidtouched are the worries of corruption from that point onward. The void settles into a non corruptive state after calming down enough.

Purelight is a divinely blessed stream of still light. It packs the power of the velocity of light, but sits perfectly still.
Integritas spews this light from himself. The massive beacon he generates from the hole in the church is where it’s collected. The divine blacksmiths that he created out of Purelight collect it using their forging tools and slow it to its motionless state.
Purelight is used with metals or other materials to make Purelight weapons. To attain a Purelight weapon (each character can have one only) visit one of the divine blacksmiths near the church at the center of the island.
Rarely, Purelight can be used in magic, but this is nigh unheard of and requires great arcane ability to attain. Magic imbued with Purelight acts more like voidtouch, being powerful but very very limited in lifetime.

Purelight weapons and magic have total contact immunity to void corruption. They can be swung at incredible speeds and pack a massive punch.
Being in the void with a Purelight weapon or continuous use of one causes it to slowly loose its energy over a matter of weeks to months depending on use and intensity of use. These can be taken to the blacksmith to be restored, but a blacksmith won’t “top you off”. Your weapon will only be restored if it’s very close to losing all of its light or if it’s burnt out entirely. As a weapon gets dimmer, it’s speed and punch weaken.
Voidtouch is the magic that courses through void creatures. The larger and more powerful they are, the more Voidtouch they generate.
Voidtouch is created constantly inside of a void creature and is topped off as long as said void creature is within the void.
Voidtouch is used by the creature in possession of it by any means of magic. It varies greatly in use.
Voidtouch can rarely be used in weapons. This is only possible with a great weapons master with the will to imbue their weapon. In this case it’ll act more like Purelight. Lasting longer and causing the weapon of choice to corrupt upon contact.

Voidtouch magic is very potent and variable. It can be used in fast attacks or slow attacks, strong or weak attacks.
Voidtouch magic cannot corrupt beings unless a constant stream into a direct area is present. If a void creature is outside of the void, using Voidtouch will weaken the character and they won’t be replenished.
The void is already described in the earlier sections.
The pure area is a tropical looking sandy oblong island. There’s a border of sand about 20-25 feet around the shore that fades into rocky grass and later some small plains and forests. One fifth of the island is the sustainable farms and animals. That being the far left side. Scattered through the rest of the island are little stone houses alongside a few makeshift open air shelters. There’s a large stone town hall a bit off center, its a few hundred feet from the church. The church with the beacon and Integritas sits directly at the center. The island is littered with scraps of all sorts and random bits of advanced technology. Everyone continually creates pop up shelters that last for a while that are then taken down. There’s about 500-700 feet of ocean all around before the churning wall of the void and the barrier of divine light collide.

For the most part, the technology on the island is primitive. Most people have either the clothing they had on entry, armor, or something they bought from the small clothing market. Everything else is a mix. The tools and gear countless people have brought on entry has piled up and got lost throughout the island. Maybe if you search enough, you could find something neat?
You enter the island Via a portal that integritas summoned, or you were one of the few hundred actual residents on the island that have lived there for many of generations. The portal that you were taken into appeared randomly very near you and caused you and whatever was near you to fall in. Opening a few feet in the air in a various spot around the island. Integritas started opening random portals as he truly began losing not very long ago (100-150 years)
The weather on the island is always the same. You can see the sun for most of the day, besides the horizons and about the 10th of the sky nearest them. The sky is always blue and cloudless, and it’s always tropical heat.
Even when the sun sets, it’s bright outside. The sky turns golden blue during the night and dims a bit, but it’s still the brightness of early sunset at it’s darkest.

The goal of the purity is to fix the world, or restore it to its original state.
Completely variable depending on the person, but they all have access to Purelight weapons and the support of the entire purity.

The boundaries of a standard character would be the edge of the void. As contact with the void means corruption. If they possess a purelight weapon, this could be delayed depending on how well the weapon works. Traveling in a group makes venturing into the void actually possible if enough cleansing power is met.
The goal of the void is to take over the rest of the world, and after that, the other worlds.
The creatures of the void can all teleport around the void to any location. The accuracy and distance a creature can teleport depends on its strength. All void creatures can corrupt ANYTHING they come into physical or prolonged magical contact with. They do this intentionally or unintentionally. Void creatures also passively heal unless killed inside of the void. Others vary on the specific creature.

A void creature can go anywhere (besides the void city unless granted special access) inside of the void via teleporting. They do however risk being injured or killed by a much more savage and inhuman void creature in some of the more wild areas. When entering the purity, a void creature looses its regeneration of magic and healing. It also slowly begins to melt from the divine light it’s in contact with. The more magic it uses, the weaker it gets. Reaching the island will significantly weaken a void creature, and being within a few hundred feet of the church is to the point where the creature starts dissolving. Anything closer and the creature risks being incinerated. They can corrupt in the purity, but it’s much harder and requires much more time. It can also be healed much faster in the purity.
This RP doesn’t necessarily hinge on NPCs, but they are necessary. For the most part I handle most of the NPCs, but some can be handled by others.

Thank you for reading this. Now please keep reading until this is finished. For stuff such as magic and technology, it’s COMPLETELY FINE to do some of both, but you can’t be a cyborg archmage with a minigun. What I’m saying is. You can’t be the best of both worlds. You can be pretty good in one, ok in the other, or maybe just ok in both. Maybe all of one and none of the other. For this reason, I’d like percentages on what you specialize in with said character so I can understand how they work.
example_character
Magic/technology ratio: 85% M 15% T
along with this, you DONT need to fill something. You can be ok with technology and have no magic whatsoever as an example.
example_character_2
Magic/technology ratio: 0% M 45% T
also, don’t go above 100%, that doesn’t make sense and suggesting that kind of power is probably not going to be allowed.
LAST THING, didn’t know where to put this, but void creatures can spawn anywhere in the void, just try and have it make sense where they might be based on power level and if they have city access or not.
