Unplayable [Event Creature] The Blood Omen

[๖ۣۜ§osa (E.G.I.E.) 520]

 

 

The Blood Omen, a very sinister creature, a creature that is said to bring death and destruction. A winged beast that foretells disaster. An Omen of Blood & Death...

 

One of the more popular strings of the legend, was the  sighting in Kingston. One of the citizens reported seeing an "odd creature" perched on the top of the walls near the gatehouse late at night. The creature just sat there, motionless, seeming to just be staring straight into the quiet, sleeping city. The red, glowing eyes just... staying there... staring. The witness, a gardener, tried telling the guard about what she saw the very next morning, but he just retorted with "You just saw an owl, go get some rest...". A few days later, Kingston was raided by the Orcs, and turned into what was Gronkston,

 

 

A Blood Omen is a large, winged creature that is rarely ever seen. In the dark, the only thing that can be seen is its sinister, red eyes that seem to illuminate the dark slightly. But because of this trait, people just shrug it off as an owl. There is no "official" name for this creature, but it has been nicknamed the "Blood Omen" because of what course of events seem to follow its strange sightings... The disasters.

 

A large, "owl-like" winged creature. It has feathers all around its body, just like any bird. The Blood Omen has legs like a human, but talons like an owl. In almost every single sighting, it is seen perched on top of something, much like a gargoyle would. Probably its most distinct feature though, is the red eyes.

 

 

 

This creature lives in usually heavily forested, and/or slightly hilly terrain. The hilly terrain is perfect for being able to fly around, and spot out any potential prey. Although the population of this creature is unknown, and for all anybody knows there is only one. Very little is known about its eating patterns, or how long it can go without food. But it tends to tear up its prey, and leave a lot behind. The Blood Omen feasts on many species, from things as little as rabbits, to something as big as a strong, fully grown buck.

 

 

The legend that follows the Blood Omen is what gives it its name. The Blood Omen, which basically means a fore-teller of disaster and destruction. The only time it is ever spotted, is before some sort of large-scale disaster. Days before a genocide, a large arson, an assassination, or a war outbreak, it'll just be sitting there, watching the area. If somebody gets too close, it'll just turn and fly of at an amazing speed, never to be seen until the next disaster.

 

Very little, to nothing is known for why this creature even exists. Even less is known for how it knows what is going to happen in the future.



I was thinking this creature would be a good use for RP. Maybe for those Broadcast messages (E.X. "A large, winged creature can be seen circling around Petrus in the air.") or for maybe even more sinister, horror-ish Roleplay. So ultimately for ET use. If you have any questions, comments, or etc. please ask them in the comments.

We can also use this area for a Q/A if needed.

Wow, sure! This doesn't really hurt anyone and helps with the broadcast, +1.

PS, it sounds familiar, did you base the lore off something else?

[Taylor 502]

I could see this being used pretty well and creating some good encounters. I think it's pretty good if I do say so myself. +1

I love it.

I would also like to repeat, the creature's name isn't "The Blood Omen". It's just a title/nickname given to it over time.

I LOVE ThIS IDEA! I think it offers great RP potential and doesn't hurt anything +1 from me, keep up the fantastic lore ideas like this please!

[SpiltMemes 367]

I like this. And it'll be a lot better with the broadcasts. And more useful than lightning.

[Swgrclan 2633]

Being a fan of the Mothman legends, I must support the prospect. Even better - you put your own distinctions on it! 

[spqrSancus 173]

Love it.

 

Just one question - is it edible? :P

 

Jk.

Interesting way of using server broadcasts, and an interesting creature overall.
