Lost to the Fog

[AtiyaTheSeeker]

Alrighty, so, here is an RP I had in mind. It's a bit inspired by this one Nintendo DS RPG called "The Dark Spire", which emulates old computer RPGs such as Wizardry and The Bard's Tale. Without further ado, allow me to begin my proposition...
~~~~~~~
Story

A dark gloom has been cast over the Pridelands, starting over Pride Rock and slowly covering the land day by day. In all hours, dark clouds loom over the African savanna, giving no rain despite appearing to be stormy. Fog billows constantly in the savannah, and rumors have been made of strange and dangerous creatures lurking within. Animals of all kinds have been falling into unending slumber, and where the fog flows in, disappearances of all sorts of animals tend to happen. According to Rafiki, advisor to Simba and a mighty shaman, a great curse had been invoked, threatening to swallow the land in the frightening fog.

With the disappearances reaching their peak, and many lost animals turning up slain, Simba and Nala sent messengers all across their kingdom. Seeking those with cunning, courage and especially special powers, they wish to assemble a team to take on an appointed quest. The task at hand? Enter the rainforest and seek the Ruins of Mist, an ancient catacomb rumored to hold the key to breaking the curse over the land. Dark magic, sinister animals and eldritch monsters await our heroes. Can they uncover the secrets of the Ruins, or will the whole of the Pridelands, like the ruins of old, be lost to the fog?

Rules of Play

* Each player may control up to two characters.
* Canon characters are doable, but there are some things I had in mind for certain ones, especially if they're given powers.
* On the off chance anyone wishes to play a villian, let me know; I had a couple in mind for the RP.
* As suggested by the RP's story, monsters are involved in the RP. Some can be fought and slain, but not every beast can be bested so easily, if at all.
* I will most likely be in control of setting up monsters and scenarios, though I might ask for others' aid if need be. Sorry if this is encroaching on your new RP idea, Pulsar. ^^;

I really like this idea. However, I'd like to bring up a couple of points that might make this easier as a whole :3

1. TLKGO does not require that canon TLK characters are involved. As long as they're African animals, it counts! That may make it easier to settle into a fantasy setting.

2. You can create NPC's to be played by just about anyone, including monsters. Though, if you are the creator of said roleplay, you create the Discussion thread and mention what sort of scenario you'd like to happen, and your players can all agree on a concept. (Psst, check out "War for Surra" for examples. :3)

[Leto]

I'd totally join this, it sounds very interesting :3 I even have a character that might be perfect for a setting like this xD

[This Land]

Sorted

Atiya, would you be able to write up a small description to go into the section ? =3. Ive used the full one for time being but if you could do that, that would be great ^^.

Enjoy the RP everyone =3

[AtiyaTheSeeker]

Many thanks, TL. =D As for the short description, here it is:

"With an eerie fog comes a gloom across the Prideland skies. Malevolent monsters, unending sleeping spells and disappearances of animals render the land cursed by a mysterious force. With an assembly of those with uncanny talents by Simba and Nala, a dire task is at hand: traverse the ancient Ruins of Mist and uncover its secrets, lest all of the Pridelands are lost to the fog..."
