Ravenstorture Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 [font=gothic][color=darkred]Warning - this RPG is not on the Church's side. If you are, then go back to the sign up forum. This RPG is not for you. If you are under fifteen, I also suggest that you do not consider this, because (if all goes well) it will get rather gruesome and maybe even erotic at times. Good writers write with blood, sex, and insight. The human is not a pretty thing. When I write, I never pretend that it is.[/color] [color=darkgreen]Inquisition: judicial institution, established by the papacy in the Middle Ages, charged with seeking out, trying, and sentencing people guilty of heresy. The year is 1233, the Inquisition is well under way. On one side, the "heretics" - peaceful, wise women and men who practice herblore and see no point or rationale in the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church, however, is rich, fat, and power-drunk. Heretics pose a threat to its wellbeing, and as they have the power to kill them, that is of course what they do. The Antithesians, or the ones convicted or in danger of being convicted of Heresy, claim that Magic is non-existential. They know that is not true. The Church claims that Satan has power that should not be drawn upon, for there is nothing more evil or pernicious in this world. They use it anyway. Both forces have their secrets, and they must struggle to keep them hidden from their opponents. The Antithesians fight for their life, the Church fights for it's money. You are an Antithesian, under severe threat from the powerful Church and it's stranglehold on the land. The people of Europe are terrified into siding with the church, and so very few can be trusted. Carry what you will, remember the timeframe and that you will be carrying everything you own. Your magic is natural, your knowledge of herblore is great and your faith and belief in the Goddess is vehement.

Ravenstorture Posted July 26, 2002 Author Share Posted July 26, 2002 [color=darkgreen][font=gothic]Wow, that was quick. Thankyou everyone. Now I just have to start the damn thing... Well, Mr Cameron (I'll tell you why the f*ck not!!) I don't know much about europe's anatomy at the time of the inquisition, but I'd say Anglo Saxon (stupid bloody english channel) so let's make England, and the head of the church can be Canterbury, where else.
