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.

Staggering to his feet, slowly lifting himself off of the stone bench with his scythe in hand. "So, like I said sir an ice formation." An armed guard who had found the man asleep on the bench crossed his arms and squinted his eyes at the mans story. "So, Noah? You tell me you come from another world where you killed people for their life energy to survive. This is why you're covered in blood?" Noah replied wittily, "yes, that is in fact exactly what I told you. You must be a great master of observation. I mean sure, who needs birds or magic when they have such a keen eyed guardsman on the payroll?" The guard was flustered and half red in the face.

Slapping Noah across the face as he denied that his story was true a spell book fell from Noah's side. "A mage huh? I should've figured. Your sort are always giving me trouble." Noah made a waving gesture to the guard, "a bigot huh? Our conversation is finished. Why don't you go hunt some little girl who just learned to summon her first pet." Drawing his blade in protest to Noah's comment, he held it at his neck. "What now? Criminal?" "So now I'm a criminal sir guard?" Noah replied. "You carry a scythe and spells, you're covered in blood, so obviously you're a murderous mage!" The guard was now completely and utterly enraged towards him.

"Well, you carry a blade, an unending hate for mages and wear a guards armor. So obviously you're a bigot and a fool. Any mage worth his wand could slap you into last century." Making a small gesture with his left hand out of the guards line of sight, he chuckled as a small bit of water splashed in the guards face.

The guard was startled by Noah's spell and began to slash and thrust at him with his sword. Avoiding all of his attacks, Noah drew his scythe from his back with his right hand. "If you insist on conflict, I'll just remove your means of travel, sir guard."

Well aware that he was within the confines of a major city, lost and alone. Even with his paranoia ticking away at him. The feeling that he may be caught in the act of fighting a guard, Noah knew that fighting this bigot was the only way he may see tomorrow's sunrise.

Vyse entered Striberg a few days ago, he had just gotten his pet dire tiger, Umbriel, from the docks. He wandered the city, riding on his tiger of course, when he noticed a guard arguing with a... blood covered man, all he needed to know was that the guard was yelling, and threatening him with a drawn blade. "Umbriel... swat him." That was all Umbriel needed to hear, she easily closed the distance in a few seconds, smacking the man's side with a large paw.

Vyse smirked as he saw the guard fly to the side like a rag doll. "Officer, you should know better then this, that was clearly assault, the man did nothing to injure you and being mouthy isn't a good enough reason... oh, and before you threaten to 'bring us both in' you should know I was the one that got rid of the poachers and bandits that plagued this place for a while, if it comes down to 'should I believe the angry guard' or 'should I believe the man who saved me two years of paper work and red tape' which do you think your captain will go with?" He smiled, he loved putting uppity useless guards in their place, especially when Umbriel was nearby, they did tend to step back and cower when a 1000 pound cat stares at them like they're nothing more then mice.

He grinned watching this new man's tiger swat the bigot. Leaning over to pet the tiger in appreciation he heard the guard mutter, "b-but.. he's a murderer!" Sighing, Noah dropped his scythe and removed his overcoat. "What's the big deal with blood? Where I come from this is more important than money." The guard's face became a pale white as he began to imagine what Noah's home world was like. "I'll elaborate, my world was basically extinct, and we used magic to kill people for their life essence. By example I look like a teenager but I'm over three centuries old."

Picking his scythe back up and fastening it to his back he walked over to the guard and extended his hand. "Do me a favor and stop being so rude to your outlandish guests." The guard nodded his head and took a seat on the bench.

Turning back to his ‘savior’, “so do you eliminate problems? Or just people in general?” Seeming truly interested in what he was talking about. Taking care of the cities poachers and bandits? He couldn’t have been a reaper, and Noah was not accustomed to seeing normal people who help others. In his world, everything was first come first serve. You killed or you died. You stole or you were stolen from.

Leaning once again to try to pat the man’s tiger. “I can’t say that I’ve ever met a man who rode on the back of a feline. Canines? Horses? Sure but never anything that could be called a cat.

Vyse quickly slid off the cat's back as Umbriel started to purr from being pet by the stranger, scratching her head as he turned to the man who claimed to be from another world. "Her names Umbriel, and I'm a Corruption Hunter, I hunt down bandits, marauders, smugglers, and all kinds of people who would harm the daily lives of everyday citizens." He knew he sounded a bit egotistical, with making up a fancy title and all, but he felt like bearing it, it was a sign that he was trying to make a difference, that's all that mattered to him.

"So, you're not from around here eh, well welcome to Striberg, its a pretty great town, I haven't been here many times, but the few times before I came here I took out bandits and poachers, quite a few had been stealing from the townsfolk and wanderers for years, I was lucky to find a ledger with all of their thieving exploits over the last few years, I guess some bandits to like to keep track of their ill gotten gains." He wasn't really sure why they had a ledger, but it also had some things in there he'd like to forget.

"If you'd like I could help ya look around town, this is one of the few places were Umbriel can actually walk free, as long as I have this permit on me atleast," He taps his pocket, it has an edge of the paper sticking out. "Oh yeah, I guess I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Vyse Noclan." He extends his hand, waiting for the man to do the same.
