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.

Flaws
Deep Sleeper
Gaiana can only be awakened by extremely loud noises or being physically shaken, prodded, etc. Even when she does wake up, she spends several moments unable to do anything other than try to shake the cobwebs away and groggily sit up.

Dislike of Nobility
In Gaiana’s experience, those of noble blood tend to prefer ruling over serving. They’re akin to pirates more often than not, taking what they can and giving nothing back despite the responsibilities inherent in their titles. They flaunt their wealth and squander it because they can. They care little for those that fight for survival or commit themselves to day after day of hard labor for the same reason. It is their generally selfish, greedy, ambitious, and manipulative natures that has caused Gaiana to avoid them whenever she can.

Fanaticism
This can be a substantial disadvantage for a character. The fanaticism can be dedication to a particular cult, religion, or god; or it can be more worldly-based in the sense of overwhelming loyalty to a state, a military presence, or to a particular leader. Whatever their sources, the different types of fanaticism have several things in common. If a certain code of behavior is called for by the belief, then the character must conform to that behavior - even if it conflicts with the immediate goals of the character. While fanaticism is not necessarily evil, it may certainly become tiresome to those who do not share the fanatic’s beliefs.

Tenets

The Philosophy Behind the First Two Tenets

Gaiana’s Truth


Night Blindness
Gaiana’s night vision isn't worth a rat’s tooth due to a physiological deficiency.

Proud
Gaiana hates accepting help from others. If she can’t do something herself, she has no business bothering someone else about it. She’s extremely independent in this regard. She also refuses to accept anything that even slightly reeks of charity or pity.

No Retreat
Gaiana is more likely to die trying to protect someone who deserves to live than she is to flee from a fight.

Reaction Penalty
Gaiana tends to rub people the wrong way the first time she meet them. People naturally distrust and/or dislike her, often without obvious reason. After they get to know her, it is not so bad if they do not become her friends, and she has gotten so used to this that she doesn’t even think about it anymore.

Reckless
Gaiana lacks the emotion of fear. Unfortunately, it is often an important cue that keeps mortals from doing foolhardy things. Sure, she doesn't flinch at the sight of even the most hideous monster, but neither does she feel the need to run away when outclassed.

RighteousGaiana has no qualms regarding the commission of heinous acts (e.g. torture) in order to get the information or results she needs. This is almost always in an attempt to protect or rescue someone else.
