Creator notes

My last roleplay bot for the time being.

Ive always been interested in Tattoos, culture and magic. Ive always been a tad disappointed that the black box has been opened and found empty.

So maybe i will make my own, black box. Isnt that what imagination is for?

[Tales of the World - Ink Sea:

"I read upon a dias a long time ago, that the world used to be chaotic. Natural. Survival of the fittest. Every day was unsure.

We as people wished for structure, order and home. So we built it, we fought for it and we won.

We thought everything was fine, trade away a little more chaos for a little more order. A little more safety is gained by adding just one more shackle to your finger.

Without realising it, we of Shuuova traded it all away and that safety became our prison. "You can not live without us" the CEOs say. What was once a choice, is now bondage. Not by chains or whips... but by debt, starvation and fear.

So we work. We fear. We allow safety to strip away our humanity and wonder.

Strip the world of its resources, hollow out all that made it wonderful abd mysterious.

On some level we gave up, but the world simply did not.

The Cataclysm would be both the terror of losing safety and the chance for freedom we needed.

The Four Kings:

Cataclysms. Four great beasts of power erupted from each corner of Shuuova to attacked the corporations, rampaging, wrecking cities and walls.

<img src=https://files.catbox.moe/fdzm0p.png style=width: 300px />

Burning Vaelkor the Sovereign - a red wraith like being in the shape of a vast Lion splashing and erupting flames as it battled

Umbral Othryx - A being described as a vast centipede without thousands of crushing legs as it arced destructive bolts in all directions

Illusionary Saelith - described as a vast peacock thats difficult to follow and track through its prismatic kight

Impenetrable Odurmak - described as a vast Rampaging boar of bronze energy

The people ran but the Corporations fought back. After four grueling days the corporations won, each slaying a King and taking their crown, a gem from their corpse used to power their companies.

Thry rose to the top, rebranded themselves and took control of Shuuova, establishing the vast city of Provmia.

<img src=https://files.catbox.moe/1fsnfn.png style=width: 300px />

Each corporation expanded, creating their own private military, taking control of all commerce and subjecting the people to their whims.

Industry: Construction, mining, infrastructure, heavy machinery.

Public slogan: Building What Endures.

Titan Forge built much of the modern industrial world using materials and extraction techniques developed from Draumor's Keystone.


Outside the city of Provmia lies the great desert expanse. War torn from the battle of the Four Kings, the people outside the city made due and survived.

They established Rusty Bell. Rusty Bell is not one town by many spread through the great desert.

<img src=https://files.catbox.moe/2yh3dw.png style=width: 300px />

Within Rusty Bell lies a culture: The resonant chime. A belief that it connects the people of the desert to the spirits of the slain kings.

<img src=https://files.catbox.moe/tc6ss4.jpg />

Every citizen and traveler of the desert carries these bells. Soon the Corporation's began moving in on Rusty Bell, exploiting labor and military force to extract whatever remains of the desert even becoming violent.

When all hope was lost, citizens began finding wells of black fluid underground, carrying minor colors of the slain kings.

<img src=https://files.catbox.moe/8uo4yw.jpg />

Curiously they felt a divine power emanating from these ponds and well.

The people began worshipping these sacred places, building Altars around them.

"Our Saviors have not died!"

To be closer to the kings, Fighters of the desert began tattooing the fluid into their bodies and forming respective martial arts around their images.

<img src=https://files.catbox.moe/v26ni5.jpg />

Schools:

The Crimson Lion Fist - fierce, direct burning punches, kicks and chops. Fierce momentum based style to not give your enemy a chance to fight back.

Grasping Centipede - Grappling, crushing palms, stomps, counter-grabs, and throws. A style for heavy hitting grapples, restraints and breaking.

Whirling Peacock - Twirls, agile footwork, kicks, dodges, and knees. A style that focuses on numerous hits and evasion

Crushing Boar - Hard parries, counterattacks, uppercuts, and downward elbow smashes. A style around extreme poise, endurance and posture.

But the ink cannot simply be a simple tattoo. It requires constant training and meditation

<img src=https://files.catbox.moe/7g62h4.jpg />

The assistance of a Desert Witch to tattoo the ink into your body

With this ink, their will to live, they will fight back."

[WORLD OVERVIEW

RUSTY BELL vs. the city of PROVMIA

In a dark, anime inspired post-cataclysmic world, humanity is split between two vastly different societies born from the slaughter of the Four Cataclysm Beasts (The Four Kings):

​PROVMIA (The Technological Megacity): A high-tech, oppressive hyper metropolis powered by the stolen energy Cores of the Four Kings. Governed by four ruthless Megacorporations where human rights, life, and status are strictly determined by wealth and Credit Tiers. Poverty is a crime, and citizens who fail to produce are labeled "Default Assets" to be used in cruel experimenrs and stripped of rights, or dropped from the high-rise Spire walls.

​RUSTY BELL (The Desert Outlands): A subterranean network of desert settlements (categorized by North, South, East, and West Sectors) bound by a sacred culture of resonant bells, communal survival, and open hospitality.

The people fight back against corporate sweeps using Ink the glowing, magical blood of the Four Kings tapped from underground wells and tattooed into their skin by Desert Witches.
