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.

It was a beautifull morning. The sun just rising over the cold blue waters of the moonsea, the waves breaking the rays of light and creating a spectacle of sparkles sown over the long stretching water. A orange-red colour spread across the sky like a painter just picked up his brush and started painting the darkness of night away. Somewere on the beach a small crab ran sideways toward the waterline, before getting violently pulled away by a retreating wave.

The easygoing setting along the beach got disturbed by the body of a man, lying unconciously on the shoreline, the lower half of his body still beneath the salty water. Wrapped in a drenched brown cloak, most of his features were hidden, only his face was revealed. The hood of the cloak resting high on the back of his head, long grey hair emerging from under it. A beard of the same color ran down past his body up to the hight of his stumach.

And although his first looks were that of a human, he was far from it, a being from the underworld neither man nor demon. He was Charon, the man who collected souls and guided them to the gates of the afterlife. The person who commandeerd the boat across the river of souls for the price of one golden coin. The one who had been chained to the Gods for many eóns, executing their every command that had connection to life or death.

After the Gods had fallen and disappeared from the world, Charon had vanished with them. Why and how he had washed ashore here was a a mystery, more so how the chains that bound him to the Gods wills had been broken. His aura had vanished and been replaced by a weak substitute of it's former self and weither losing his immortality was a gift or a curse for him, was yet to be found out.

A loud cough came deep from the inside of his lungs, a stream of water followed as a tiny part of the moonsea came flowing from his mouth. The tips of his fingers digging into the wet sand as his conciousness came rushing back.
