Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

Pitter patter. That was one way to describe the rain that was falling over Cascadia. It was also very wet, if you want to be specific. Was a light rain, for now. It looked like it could get worse at any time. Clouds were dark enough that it appeared night time despite it being the middle of the day. Allear didn't want to miss this opportunity, it was very rare that he could go out in the day time because of the sun. Right now though, it was almost not worth it as, well, he was tired. It was like those people that got up at like three in the morning to watch a meteor shower or something. Enjoyable but way too tired to really think that straight. He supposed he would wake up in an hour at most.

Of course, Allear was poached on a roof. It was just what he did, habit he supposed. "Well, I suppose I mights as well..." Get moving about. He finished his statement in his head as he got up and walked towards the end of the roof. He jumped off without looking. Well for once he wasn't falling off of the roof painfully. The Elf landed on his feet, leaned back and then balanced himself by throwing his arms into the air like he was some kind of gymnast. "Ten points!" He said loud enough, only then did he realised he jumped straight into the middle of crowd that had gathered there for reasons unknown to him. Were they merely walking in a group or coming to admire his greatness? Probably the latter, he hoped.

Vyse was looking for a group of a particularly nasty set of smugglers, they were pushing Drachma's Zombie Pill... he was hoping he could stop the shipment, if he could get it and the ledger turned over to the guards he'd stop a good deal of gold from spilling into the black market and discourage people for working for Drachma even more. He wandered the streets, looking around, mostly taking only a few glances at any group of people. That is until he heard someone yell 'Ten Points' he quickly turned, seeing the young elf surrounded by the very gang he was looking for.

Thinking fast he quickly rushed the group, elbowing and sliding his way to the elf, "Oh there you are my friend, you really shouldn't do that sort of thing with so many people around, hahaha, don't worry about my elf friend, he and I are leaving right now," grabbing the elf's arm he hurries him away from the gang, he could see the marks of Drachma on a few of their shirts, a small pin with a knife and coin purse on it.

After dragging the elf around a corner he stops and looks at him, "Are you crazy?! Those are the last guys you want to get involved with, geez... I thought they were going to use you as a test subject." Vyse sighed, he hated it when an unknown civilian gets in the way of his hunt.

The people surrounding him didn't look all that friendly. He didn't enjoy the look in their eyes and his instincts told him to flight. Then again they rarely told him to fight unless he was hungry. Ah well, he might as well just leave this group and find one with enough intelligence to admire how amazing he. Turning and taking a step down the street, he was stopped by one of the people in the group. "Hey, wat-- hey!" His complaint was interrupted by someone grabbing him and pulling him. Saying some funny stuff, was this person on substances?

He skipped a few steps to regain his balance and was dragged down the street. And then around the corner, was he going to be mugged!? Out of the unknown furnace and into the unknown fire. Yet the person just stopped and started yelling at him. A long list of things to say popped into his head. "Who're you? Tests subjects? Who're they? Do I know you? Whats're you talking abouts?" he said and realised it was horribly jumbled coming out from the top of his head. "... Nots exactly in thats order."

Vyse sighs, he was already involved since he was seen by those smugglers, "My name is Vyse Noclan, I'm a corruption hunter, I hunt smugglers, bandits, and other evil men. They are conducting experiments with Necromantic materials, Zombie Pills, dull red colored pills that after eating will cause you to rapidly zombify after death, by subject they'll probably force a new kind of pill in you or see if the current stock is still good, I just saved your damn life."

He hated having to tell him this, but he deserved to know what almost happened to him. "Now unless you want to help, I suggest you never run into those monsters ever again." Looking around the corner he sees the men walk off in the opposite direction, "Good... they're still moving towards their stash hopefully." Loosening the swords in his scabbards he got ready move on. The hunt would resume!

Weird name. A corruption hunter. Cool title and all. Was it self proclaimed? Would make it less cool but still. Allaer had a couple nicknames that he picked up from other people, he liked to collect them. And then... zombie pills? That sounded pretty nifty. Saved my life? Allaer thought. Huh. "Both you and thats group is a couple dozen years too late to zombify me... buts no matter!" He said and tried to sound heroic but didn't really have anything else to add.

He had to think of something quick... why was he doing this again? Because it sounded damn cool. "Well ats leasts you're rights abouts the "damned" parts." He said and tried to think. Apparently those people were monsters. How much could those zombie pills be sold for? What could Allaer possibly do with the money for them? What couldn't he do with the money he could gain from this pills!? He could actually buy himself painting lessons or something like that, or maybe some fancy clothing. He examined the almost rag like clothing his was wearing now. It was over ten years old. "If you wants help, whats could I do?"

"If you know how to fight I could use you or even if you can stay in the shadows and stab them in the back, they'll probably enter a large open building, just follow my lead," Vyse runs to catch up, he saw them turn a corner, he would need to dash constantly to make sure they don't see him as he moves, watching them from behind corners and dashing after them. He followed them until he saw them enter a large stone building with two giant wooden double doors. He would probably have to charge straight in there, he would end the corruption and destroy those pills. He stopped before dashing forward, looking behind him to see if the elf had followed him.

Allaer shrugged and followed. He walked with haste but not exactly running. He would be able to track Vyse well enough from where he was to follow at his own pace. He was mostly entertaining the thought of actually having a lot of easy money to spend. This society was run by greed and he wasn't an exception. What would people want with these pills though and who would buy it? Maybe the pawnbroker would buy some. He didn't really have any connections so he wasn't sure who wanted them.

Ah well, back to what was going on in the world around the Sun Elf. Stab people from the shadows, huh? He pulled his knife out of his sleeve and held it between his two hands by fingertips. One at the tip of the blade another at the handle. He pricked himself. Ow. He put the knife away and sucked on his finger tipped as he turned around a corner to where Vyse was. He had stopped and turned back.

Taking his finger out of his mouth, Allaer walked up to him in his quickened pace. He only glanced at him. "Well then, I'll follow your lead?" He said and gestured towards the building politely. Maybe he could get more than money out of this affair if he was able to isolate even two of the group.

"Yes, we can talk once we eliminate the corruption, but first lets try to see if we can listen in at the door," Vyse walked slowly, checking the area with sweeping glances, no one, the area was deserted. Sidling over to the door he places his ear to it, he could barely make out what they were saying at first until he heard screams of pain. Alarm spread across his face as he slammed his shoulder into the door, slamming it open as he draws his swords.

Not even taking a moment to grasp the situation, he charges in, hearing the cry of someone in mortal danger awakened his Bloodwrath, his blades moving like lightning moves among them, slashing across high with his cutlass, slicing the throats of two of them as he brings his longsword down, cleaving a shoulder nearly in two. His berserk blood was roaring with rage, his eyes glazing over, unfortunately he hardly noticed two of them dash around him to his back, shortswords readied.

Allaer was ready to let him do most of the work. He didn't even bother to listen to the inside, but the scream was clear enough. "Sounds like it hurts." He pondered. It appears this pill was to be used offensively and not for oneself, unless they wanted to painfully turn into a zombie. He was pretty sure healing magic was more soothing and worked well for staying alive. Probably a lot cheaper and less illegal.

Either way, by this point Vyse had already charged inside and started to killing the surprised thugs. Ah, blood. What a lovely smell. It was like a spell, very engaging. Like a force of habit, being taunted by this smell, Allaer only walked forward casually. He wouldn't be able to avoid this now. He opened his mouth a little as his fangs ached and hunger flared. The next thing he knew two of the men got right behind Vyse while he was doing whatever he was doing.

Facing away from Allaer, help someone and quench this burning hunger. He was in control still, but could lose it at any moment. He picked up his walk into a run and then leapt right onto the back of the closer man. He clung onto him quickly and tightly. His fingers digging into whatever they could hold. His jaw stretched and then clamped down on the man's throat. With a jerking motion Allaer pulled his head back and ripped the man's throat open. During this whole thing the man stumbled to the ground. The vampire only proceeded to dig his teeth into the man's jugular that was exposed and broken. With disgusting slurping and sucking noises he started to drink the blood out of the bleeding man's neck.

Vyse let out a beastial roar, he saw three more thugs in front of him, stepping forward, he brings both blade biting down into the shoulders of one of them, spinning around and slashing the head and throat of the next. The final thug in front of him stepped forward during the slashing of his partner, stabbing a dagger deep into Vyse's side. Vyse laughed, he could hardly feel the pain in this state of mind, though once the battle was over he would need to heal.

Turning on the final man he leaps forward, cutting the hand off at the wrist that had the knife, "Suffer like you have made others suffer!" He roared as he cut off the arm at the elbow of the opposite arm, bringing both hilts of his blades square into the man's chest, an audible 'crack' is heard as he spins around, delivering a twin slash at the man's stomach, slicing him wide open. When it came to killing with lightning efficiency he knew what to do.

He turned to see what had become of the elf as his bloodwrath slowly fades, shock paints his face as he sees the horrible act his supposed ally had commited, he saw the final man in shock.

The colour from the man's skin drained away. Some parts of the skin seemed to pull tight as the body's blood was removed. Allaer stood up off of the body which would be dead in a few minutes. He grabbed the man's hair and put his foot at the top of his spine, foot of his neck. Keeping pressure with his foot he pulled on the man's head with quick snap. The neck snapped at this point and the man died instantly. He wouldn't be rising again as an Undead.

Allaer turned his look to the other man that was standing there. In what appeared to be a shock. Any humane expression was gone from the Vampire's face. The only thing that remained was pure instinct to feed, since such easy opportunities were so rare. He moved towards the man with a few steps and then a lunge. He was beaten back by a quick response from the previously paralyzed man. The flat of his blade struck Allaer in the head. Blunt force knocked him to the side and he tumbled in a roll of limbs, which only lead him to jump up from the ground and onto the chest of the offender, trying to bite directly into the exposed flesh of his neck. The man tried to force his head back, he successfully bit into the neck but was then thrown off. Allaer's response was only a monstrous hiss.

Vyse shook his head quickly, 'that elf was a vampire!?' was the only thought running through his head, if he got in between a vampire and his meal, he'd probably be the next to be attacked, the smuggler needed to die, the elf vampire could easily take care of that. He took his first look at the room, it was quite open with a few crates near him, a human tied up in the chair, dead and being taken over by the blight of undeath, a desk with the same black book he saw in the north, along with a lantern and a pint of oil.

Vyse knew he had to act fast before his vampire cohort could kill the bleeding smuggler, taking the oil pint he throws it all over the crates of pills. He looked over at the zombie, it was struggling against the bonds, it would be problematic if it got loose. Though he would have to ignore it for now, taking the lit lantern he throws it onto the boxes, setting them and the pills on fire. Another day's work done, he readied his cutlass and longsword, turning to see if his ally had done the grisly deed... and had come for his own blood.

By the time Allaer had gotten back onto the man, he had already disarmed him and locked his jaw in place around his neck. It was easier because he was losing blood from his first injury. He didn't drink as much this time but still enough to make the person faint. Afterwards he quickly calmed down and took out his knife. He killed the person by making a few quick stab wounds into the man's heart. Spreading his disease was a no, it allowed people to seek revenge and if vampirism spread it would put the city on alert.

By the time Vyse turned around towards him, Allaer was sitting on the second dead man's chest and counting out money in his coin new-found coin purse. It was a lot more than he had, that was for sure. The fire was a little upset, he knew what it was. Vyse had disposed of the pills and a possible future. Things never went right for the Sun Elf so he accepted his fate and decided to just get money off of the dead in the room.

For his mess, the entire lower half of his face was drenched in blood, along with a good portion of his torso. His hands and other parts of his head has splashes and spots of the crimson liquid on him. "Looks like you didn'ts need my help in the end, anyways." Allaer said as he examined a gold coin that was at the bottom of the coin purse.

"I did, the two you're picking clean would have probably stabbed me from behind, the only reason why I got out of this mess unwounded was because of your help," He paused only to behead the zombie with a quick slash of his cutlass, seeing the creature stop moving he turned back to his vampire ally, "And for that I thank you, what is your name anyway, I've been in to much of a rush lately, I have time to slow down for a bit." It was rare to see a vampire, he didn't think this man was a murdering psychopath and he helped him, even if he was corrupt, he'd hunt him another day.

"Oh, yes, and for a reward for helping me you of course have free reign of their belongings, and this," He tosses over the black leather bound ledger, "If you give this to the port authorities tell them Vyse sent ya, they'll give ya fifty gold. Or you could try to steal the weapons shipments yourself, either way is fine." He didn't care how those smuggled arms and armor got out of his father's hand, he just wanted them gone.

Allaer shrugged pocketed the coin purse inside of his jacket. He stood up and casually brushed his pants off, like he had fall on some dirt or something. He completely ignored the red liquid that covered him. "Allaer Shinethorn. I've been called The Black Rogue and The Allegiance of Atrocities before, though." He said with a smile. He was about to turn back to the bodies near him but Vyse threw something at him. He raised his hand to catch it, only to have it bounce off of his palm. He tried to grab it with his other hand only to have it bend a bit and fall to the side of his fingers. The next few moments was his arms fumbling as the ledgers bounced back and forth between his hands and his torso as he finally secured it. He played it off like nothing happened. Smooth.

So he did get a reward for this. "I think I'll justs take the gold. Going up againsts guards doesn'ts sound like the smartests of ideas." He said and thought back. "Thats reminds me. I once gots a Paladin religious guy arrested..." It was a funny situation in the end, even though he was running for his life most of the time. He tapped his chin as he looked up and remembered it.
