WIP: Dark Horizons (Erebus) Empty Tue Nov 28, 2023 1:39 pm

Erebus







Name: Dark Horizons

Difficulty: Epic

Participants:
  • Erebus (protagonist)
  • Kon (early, mid, late: antagonist)
  • Tempris (mid: antagonist)
  • Zerutod (early: deuteragonist)
  • Knuckles Shi (late: contagonist)
  • ******** (benefactor)


Story: Erebus, a formidable enemy of the magic counsel and monarchy within Fiore has grown his forces and amassed the highest bounty on Earthland to date. Presenting himself publicly after years unseen, he is apprehended moving through Bosco by Konstantin Sokolov, in leu of aiding with the Nine-Tails against it’s attack on war-torn Joya.

This aide to the magic council came not without making new enemies there in Joya. Without surprise, Erebus was jailed days after, his trail red hot.

Erebus is long thought to have been some storied character, a folktale of the non-magical, able to stand with the very monsters they fear and fight, but now secured by the state, he is postered as national news, this finding disproves the theory he never existed all together. Erebus is a human able to steer the minds of those he most hates or even desires.

Eager like the roaches they are, the inhabitants of the super-max prison Hellsea Bastile, also seek the bounty on Erebus for their accolades– some even owing him for their time behind it's walls, years spent herein and coming after.

Erebus must, and without fail, defeat the strongest under the Deep Blue; challenger by challenger. In order to survive, both C.O. and Prisoners will detest him and try to kill him for the smallest infractions. After everything is said and over, all parties in the Hellsea will have either come with the hopes of destroying him, laying his legend to rest, or will no doubt bow to him by choice or force alone.

In addition to those conditions which stack against the terrorist, special trials have been devised for the Don by Konstantin and his trusted lieutenant-- a Rune Knight that Erebus met many years ago, Tempris. Erebus is forced under the thumb to abide and take all punitive actions enforced by the Rune Knights'.

Now ostracized and isolated for life, Erebus will become an infamous adventurer with a reputation that now extends past Fiore and into other countries, a name soaked with evil business.

With no one present at the Hellsea to successfully hold Erebus anymore, Kon and Tempris will be tasked with moving him to Era-- the dungeons there are made to monitor his threat with less error or mistake than previously thought enough for him, at the bottom of the ocean. But for Erebus, this is only a waiting game; on his last days between life and death, a surprising visitor approaches to bond the mercenary from the Kingdom's control, the aide of a new servant changes the criminal's fate going forward. This servant will come with a proposal for Erebus that will relocate him to a new country, where he begins anew.

Objective:
  • Kingpin of the Criminal Underworld (Political Power || Bosco)
  • Attain an Epic SL Story Companion






Name: Chapter I: In the Name of the Father

Rank: S

Type: Bad

Participants:
  • Zerutod
  • Konstantin
  • Erebus


Summary: Erebus is escorted by Konstantin Sokolov to Hellsea Bastile, there Zerutod is instructed to keep tabs on Erebus. He is to send aide if things become unnecessarily destructive in the Hellsea.

Meanwhile, a group of criminals jailed here in the Hellsea catch wind of Erebus, and are displeased for a number of reasons. The consensus however, don’t wish to be sharing the facility with him and decide to introduce themselves— whether it be envy, pride, or etc. they don’t intend to let Erebus find comfort. Dragging his first day in prison out into the open and forcing his hands.

Outwitting this group will demand their obedience— and for the Mercenary’s trouble, their connections and resources will fall under his control. This quest transfers Fiore’s East region of black market control back over to Erebus. In order to be the face of the dark network, as the Dons of Akudama Syndicate were previously, all four regions of Fiore must be subdued by a mixing of fear, respect, honor, and abandon.

The East is one of four pinnacle territories needed for a criminal entity or enterprise to operate the Underworld, a non-political capitalist face which surfaces Earthland as the illusion of ”generalized” organized evil. From selling of slaves, to drugs, to subjecting magical species to sacrifice for personal gain/energy. Whoever has control of the Underworld in masse, becomes the stand alone representative of all dark business within Fiore.

Under or perhaps the better knowledge of the Rune Knights, Erebus is trapped in a bid to survive, with the control of the Underworld now becoming the stakes. Konstantin will leave Erebus to Zerutod, who must figure out what is going on in the grander scheme of things beyond the exterior. For the closer Erebus gets to dominating the Underworld, the greater his threat becomes.

Others:
Everyone's Favorite C.O. -- Gary: Stationed at the Hellsea with Zerutod, Gary is a older gentleman still living his dream of being a hero. He was tough when he was a young adventurer, but as the years went on, Mages and Warriors got stronger, so he retired over and became a correctional officer, despite being pretty kind to the inmates, most of the Hellsea write Gary off as soft and perform wickedness when his back is turned. Due to this conflict of interest, he's been assigned a 'trainee' who will help him with the latest and greatest criminal to enter the facility.

Enemies: All NPCs of the supermax prison can be used and roleplayed by different PCs participating, as well as fodder criminals which may stand in and audience.

Ozart: A physical giant, and leader of a prison gang. He provides a level of control over the Hellsea itself.

Helmutt: A dark network kingpin, formerly allied to Akudama Syndicate, he no longer wishes to be extorted and has taken a side against Erebus. If Erebus can subdue Helmutt, he can take back 1/4 of the Underworld, starting with the East's control.

Lo: A sorcerer claiming to be from the outside, a fan of Erebus and his fables, this dark mage is in deliverance of a special jar. He has a gift to bestow to the Don, however, first must face Zerutod-- an undercover agent. Who threatens the dark ruler from escaping the control of the King.

The issue is, the question of whether Erebus should deserve it, may weigh on Zerutod’s conscious, as it means allowing Erebus a tool to be used inside the prison.

Type: Bad

Summary: Erebus has met a number of characters in the Hellsea, and is trying to make himself comfortable. A character in ties with Ozart offers Erebus a formal challenge. Defeat Ozart at his true power, and the Hellsea will calm itself.

Erebus turns his attention to Ozart, Helmutt devises a special potion that will make the fight more balanced.

Upon realization that Ozart is too powerful in this state will prompt Zerutod to assist. Erebus uses the bastile as a race track, and begins looking for his weapons whilst Ozart levels each floor with dark magic explosions.

The foundations of the prison begin to falter, and a water leak causes the floors to fill-- starting at the lowest level and racing up-- floor by floor.

At the climax of this battle, Konstantin will call Tempris to the stage, requesting that Zerutod not assist in any more fights alongside criminals like Erebus, lest he catch a charge himself of treason.

The thread concludes with Erebus being escorted to trial by Tempris, who will arrive just in time to see Erebus slay another person behind bars.

Others:
Everyone's Favorite C.O. -- Gary: A decent guy, but in order for Erebus to get into the weapon(s) and belongings vault, he must make a choice. Slay the man, and save himself, or turn and fight without his items.
