So, I was browsing along the forums and saw this creative lore that hadn't really been put to use even though it was greatly thought of and written and I believe someone should develop from it. I give full props to these people of Lotc that were able to get this passed and create it and I wish to expand on that lore and a magic for those of the tainted, the blind (Scourge born, eyes cut out, regularly blind), disorded mentally and ones of an already evil background. (Not just one dealing with taking a pie from Little Suzy but I mean devilish and truly evil in mind) http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/91106-creature-lore-the-dark-ones-wip/ ~Dark'um Magic~ Dark Ones Relations As said in the lore for the Dark Ones, they are said to be visiting the realm of what is Anthos just to be on an academic quest for knowledge including materials, specimens, and why not mortals of the lands, roaming about with a vast brain of different collections of info that may be collected by these dark creatures. Some of the Dark Ones are more dedicated to this search for pure knowledge and even wish to dwell in this place even longer if that is what it takes. There attempts to speak and interact with mortals only seem to end in failure as their devilish and mysterious appearance begins to scare the mortals or their emotions start to engulf their logic as someone dares to gaze right upon them. Once and then, they are said to be some of the most deadly creatures to descend upon this world but not many are to have seen one without being killed within seconds. From the various encounters and incidents with them, there is a few that are not so scared as other... ones of a rather odd origin that don't seem to intake such a death defying image from them; the ones of the blind, twisted logic, and the devilish. These people are the ones most ignorant of one of the most savage enemies upon their presence yet have nothing more than likeness towards them. The Scourge Born, the ones born with disorders for mental thinking problems, corrupted, and the ones of the most twisted thinking are the only ones capable of looking mindlessly into the eyes of the Dark Ones in such an odd way, only accepted by the Dark Ones' ways. The Dark Ones are to have seen these mortals as advanced creatures as themselves, gazing to where eyes showing of intent to bring emotion and good to the world would be most in existent, only viewing of a soul-less creature that is stuck into this realm. The Dark Ones seem to take liking upon these people but it is rather rare for this to been seen since a smaller amount are only to be coming to this realm and tend to be secluded to themselves in their quests. Their awe in such "advanced" creatures in this realm captivates their self sufficient minds and brings them to try to create a relationship with these creatures (mortals) so that they may start to connect with them mentally. These mortals of this special up taking must accept their inviting request through the Dark Ones' communication. This is conjured up with a darker embrace within either contact our an "air hug" around such a mortal as runes along the skin of the Dark One would begin to glow a deep purple. Light waves would start to bend in a rather odd way around mortal's head which would appear as a blurring in light to others if they were to watch but an image of two purple, iridescent eyes would form into their thoughts which would appear as a vision to them. A dreary scream would then start to fill the air of the realm that would seem ear piercing and almost deadly to hear that would start to emit from the Dark One only to those not in its embrace of thinking. A voice of a respectable, weary sounding presence of an indication of high intelligence from its tone would start to fill the person's mind, in front of their conscience that would say something of such: ~Creature of the Advanced, thee of such of my kind left in such a realm should not have to scoundrel with such an intelligence without beholding it to me... others among me. Let us venture into our true advanced realm of such that no mortal may ever be revealed upon; dedication will be accounted on thee upon such but it is thy will to belong logically, in one with such creations. Thy is willing to behold what may lie ahead, for us?~ This correspondence in thinking to the Dark One's mind would be expanded for only a brief amount of time, giving not time for logic but for impulse of the creature (mortals) to respond in mind with a clear "Yes" or "No". In that moment, if to have said no, the creature would immediately attack such a mortal with this chance with their rage, viewing that they are not what they appear to be but another regular mortal, only scared of what the real logical development may be. The Acceptance In response of a mental "Yes", the creature (mortal) would begin to see a dark haze of what the mortal world appears to be... a smaller radius of what any other regular mortal would see and as if a dark smog would start to drift around. The Dark One would then begin to take upon the creature to be still in such a way to preserve their body for the Dark One. In this time, the Dark one would begin to touch the body of the creature at central nerve areas along the body that convey messages to their brain. The contact with the Dark One's mass to the creatures body would start to form a rune like piercing of the skin that would permanently embed itself into the creature's skin and would begin to connect to the creatures thinking and nervous system, beginning to give them enhancements to what senses they have. After this immediate process, the Dark One would begin to be able to constantly communicate with the other creature in a different way than what is usual with others of their kind, logical communication. The relationship of this connection between the creature and the Dark One would start develop if the creature would allow so by daily calling to them in a way of using their conscience, signalling to the Dark One to become a part of their realm (come back to Anthos) or to teleport themselves to the creature. These two would begin to enlighten each other upon what they both have come and soon to know. In this, the Dark One would begin to behold them more abilities and senses that would start to actually advance them to such a creation as itself. In equal to this, the mortal would begin to explain things of society, specimens, and even concepts to the Dark One to start to collect and return with. (Sub Topic) Runes Runes along the skin connecting to the central nervous system would only appear black (looking as a tatoo) to anyone that were to view them. But in cases of touching, these runes are extremely sensitive to touch and may cause something a burn to anything of a living mass (flesh, plant fiber, etc.) touching them due to their vast amount of dark energy supplied into them. When using their specialized senses or powers, these runes would begin to glow a purple shade with a bit of static appearance since Dark Ones bend light to communicate and this would be signalling the Dark One that the use of their Dark Energy would either be given to under case of respect and appreciation to the creature (mortal) or a denial (for not expressing gratitude and knowledge to the Dark One) that would end this experience, suddenly coming to an end with a loss of energy. Magical Attunement and Abilities As said in the Sub Topic (Runes) above, their magical abilities are only gained along the Dark One's favor. This would be related with RP with the Dark One and activity online (OOCly) with their connections and transferring of information. If being active and RPing with the Dark One, this would be giving favor to them which would enable them In game to use the magic. If being more inactive or not playing a character with such abilities, they would begin to lessen in the relationship with the Dark One and in which asking for approval of power use, it would be denied and make rather interesting RP for other players as well if this were to happen. This magic is still in use of mana from the void but concentrating it into a different way that would convert itself into dark pulses into the creature's body and nervous system (mortal). As the relationship of these two start to embark in time, as of thought, they would begin to grow in power and availability to other magic spells/abilities. Spells: Rift Walk: In concentration of dark pulses and bending of light waves to move through, the user would be able to teleport a distance of blocks that would grow as their progression would increase. This is used as communication actually for the Dark Ones in their usual realm but it is used for emergency and sense of fear in the realm of Anthos. It would begin to grow in amount of uses within the months (OOCly to come) and at the most powerful progression, they would be able to cast this a max of 3 times (needed mana converted to dark pulse would increase each time) and all 3 times would almost render them useless in battle, unless more dark pulses were gifted directly from the Dark One (A roll would be used) to the user which this may only be used once in such an instance. In addition, the user would begin to gain a headache of each use, all 3 uses may cause a stroke or someone to become unconsciousness if already using a great amount of energy. Null Sphere: A concentrated amount of Dark Energy would begin to be form a circular appearance that would appear 2D to any mortal and would be actually 3D to any creature (user) or Dark One due to their intensified senses. It would then be able to be sent out at a normal speed as a fireball would and would eat away any material it were to touch and it would increase in strength in amount of time known. It is not as nearly strong against nonliving materials such as iron and is very useful against living materials. The user's fingertips would feel a fire pain from this seeing that this is regular flesh and not a dense amount of Dark Energy that the Dark Ones are composed of. Unbound: Changing the basics of gravity from what is told in their realm, they are able to change what is usually know in the regular realm as "Gravity" into a form of "Anti-gravity" which they are able to concentrate to an extent. Then, they would be able to force these items within their radius at forceful speed at anything beyond them (to a reasonable distance, don't use that bad PG). After the use of this spell, the amount of dark pulses centered in their arms would weaken them and render them useless in their upper limbs from the numbing of nerves for a time depending on how powerfully they use this spell. This is only able to be used once in a situation, seeing it is extremely powerful. Indention: This is the conversion of dark pulses expelling outward around the user's body that would form them into a dreadful and extremely unnatural appearance that would be cause almost immediate fear. They would be able to model what is a Dark One but in a mortal way that is unappealing to the eyes. This may be used to scare someone off, show their "true form to someone" or even just for fun that could cause someone a heart attack. This wouldn't cause an alteration inside the user's body but an outside effect that would start to alter regular air particles into a more destructive gas from the damaging of their chemical composition. This could be inhaled by others around or even the user which could cause coughing and if consumed greatly, choking. The image would be of a mangled skull with a darkened aura, unnaturally unhinging its jaw with an abyssal stare, giving nothing but raw fear when seen. Senses and Changes As the senses of the Dark Ones are heightened, the senses of the user start to become slightly heightened as well with their progression in power and knowledge. The only reason these users are not given such high senses and advancement is like a racial curses; they belong to a flesh body with regular senses while starting to gain advantages from the Dark Ones' which evens out. The eyes of any user of this magic (if having eyes) would begin to turn a bright or darker purple depending on what happens in their reaction (You can roll for it or just choose). The user's eyesight would begin to lift from being totally disabled to being partially disabled (if having eyes) which they would only really be able to see in a 6 block radius and it would look as if smog was around them, slightly smearing what would be clearly seen by a regular mortal (clarity wise, not distance). The user's nerves in their thumbs and fingers would start to numb and basically be useless except for gripping something, loosing something that most wish to have. The user's hearing would actually be increased, starting to sense the slightest things that would be able to harm them if not accounted for. In addition, emotions would begin to alter into a scale of neutral feelings, rage, fear, and curiosity. Many of Dark'um users tend to have a problem with disclosing their magic from other people's views due to their sensitivity around things which starts to make them appear as something unnatural to regular mortals. (Suddenly twitching due to someone walking near or odd reflexes to someone going to give them a kind pat on the back). Transformation Not just a regular mortal gets to stay as they regularly are when accepting this offer, changes of body and their own future must occur. The process is called the "Transformation" which occurs when the user begins to evolve into a Dark One itself and it would loose all rational thinking and would be sent home to its home realm. This would mean there would be no returning to the creator nor being teleported back to this realm as they regularly were. As I stated from all the alterations above that occur, right before the complete transformation will start to proceed, the user's skin would change shades to a darker gray over the next few months and their thinking would begin to tip the scale of four total emotions to being neutral or enraged. As what usually happens, the user would shut themselves off from the real world and begin to overlook and comprehend what all they had collected and done within their life. This transformation process isn't able to be stopped by regular occurrences except for a large blessing/ritual done by the monks that could easily end up killing the user (Roll) or only by committing suicide would this end (Pk). There were about 20 images that really did a great job outlining this whole thing but it disabled them from being in this post so if you wish to see them, PM! Conclusion and Overview ·This magic may only be learned by those of the blind, mortals with disorders, and ones of pure corruption/taint. (Scourge Born or either corrupted for a rather long time) ·The only way to have a chance to have a chance for this would be for your character to see one ingame (I mean just an actual enderman) and either to /modreq it and take a screenshot as well to show proof since this chance should be as rare as even seeing one so. Then there would be the actual RP part that a GM would play as (The Dark One) and your character would communicate and choose the decision. ·Dark pulses would be used in a quick conversion of mana for this magic; it is mana for such abilities of the Dark Ones which gives them their iridescent bright color of purple and appears as nerve pulses. ·The body and mainly the nervous system would begin to diminish in strength while learning this. Although hearing and sense of fear/death is highly extended; this doesn't mean they are able to dodge ever attack randomly but for a logical reason. I would suggest rolling if someone is personally trying to sneak up on them since they do have that heightened sense. ·RPing as with this magic needs to be those dedicated to the RP, practiced in Magic RP, and ones that have usually been here in the server for a good amount of time. Not saying this shouldn't be a chance for newer players but I really do wish for this magic to bring another more evil and odd aspect to RP situations, literature, and myths ingame. ·Runes should be RPly added to the user's skin and included into the description so this distinctive thing can be recognized by others ingame. ·None of these forms of spells are any other sorts of magic. It may appear as if Unbound is a telekinesis magic but it isn't at all, this magic is uncontrollable and rather more sudden than synthesized than telekinesis. ·The main goal of Dark Ones is to collect and gain more knowledge as that will also become a main goal of the user, surely hoping they would RP as having interest in anything unknown to them. ·Rift walk is a teleportation spell and done by reflexes rather than on control. This would leave the user out of breath for a few moments in time right after this since it would take out quite a bit of energy from them. ·Lastly in the magic conclusions, this smaller range of spells isn't the max of the creativity you can have; go along and create more interest spells using this magic but try to ask the creator (bulldogsoccer8) of this magic lore if it is actually related and reasonable to this magic or ask a GM/Admin if this idea of yours is acceptable at all (Whether it could cause PG/MG problems or just too unreal) ·The transformation ending would basically be the end of the character, nothing more and nothing less to do other than be content with the RP you have conducted! ·I wish to create more lore for the ones none as the trash and unusable of Lotc, lets have something more for those less fortunate of RP causes. In addition, I wish for this to be another Dark Arts Magic/Lore proposal to where you do not have to be a necromancer since they are so closed off, leaving little chance for others that do not have the chance to become a necromancer. ·Open to suggestions and tips of what I have messed up on in this. Have written quite a lot of words, about 3,000 (more or less), so please don't be make the troll posts or really rude comments including sarcasm (Craycray should be allowed to :D). I ask this since I do not wish to deal with such and I wish for this to be a clean, nice proposal. And Lago, I am still pushing for this to be accepted either now or in 4.0 so. ·Since the user's are mortal (have flesh), they do not take the elements as more of a harm than usual and I also inlcude the sunlight in this. A lot of users tend not to be as fond of the sunlight so it is their choice whether or not to be; I recommend you do to give off a mysterious or knowledgeable looking presence that could even add to RP conversation. · PM me ingame or on the forums for any more questions!
