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. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

"Ah, it's been awhile since I've ventured through the lands of Imythess." said Incubo. After reliving his past he decided o move on from that period and think more of the future. "It is much to warm in these swamps," he said as he took off his cloak. He was unhappy at his poverty and lack of weaponry. It's time to make freinds... *he shuddered at the idea* He sat under a large tree making small fire balls appear above his hand and making small replicas of castles and dugeons out of rocks and pebbles. He awaited for anyone at all to cross his path, so he could conversate with them and possibly ally with them... as long as they weren't Elves... Or Light Sentenials... |

Rith sat on a tree limb reading over some notes he of his own. He was waiting for something, but whatever it was it was not the man that came and disturbed Rith's study. Rith looked aroun the tree to see the man who spoke apparently to himself. Rith felt like playing with the man's head, but did not feel like leaving his branch at the moment. Rith silenly twirled his fingers in the air and the shadows seemed to call to Incubo from every direction," What is it that brings one such as yourself to a place like this?" Terror, the tainted wisp, wanted to join in the game as well. The ball of purple light floated down and hovered ominusly at eye-level only a few feet in front of Incubo. |

Incubo stared at the odd purple ball floating just before him, prodding it with the handle of his sword. "What is it we have here?" Incubo whispered. Incubo looked up at where the object had come from and noticed a book sitting on a branch about 20 sword lengths up... Suddenly Incubo realized the faded light had ASKED him a question. "I... uh... I've come to seek a new life after a terrible war broke out between my people... Who are you? More to the point WHAT are you..." |

The Light or the wisp grew in brilliance. It would not be doubted that the being did not like having a sword prodded though it, though harmlessly. "Fool. Do you truly think you are in the position to ask questions that you have not answered yourself. Let's try this again. My temper is not one you would want to test, child!" The voice boomed all around Incubo as rith began to probe Incubo's thoughts. The wisp wildly flashed as it seemed to speak, the flashing was almost enough to cause a seizure. |

Incubo felt for his cloak and sheilded his eyes from the frantic flashing. "I told you!" yelled Incubo over the roar of the noise. "I've come to Imythess after most of my race was slaughtered during a great war between my people and the Elves with their Light Sentenial allies! It was a last resort!" It was hard to even hear his own voice over the booming sound. A peircing headache overcame Incubo and he felt to his knees clutching his skull has he could sense a presence inside his mind. Then, as if it was instinct, a golden aura appeared around Incubo, and he levitated above the ground hands and arms dangling loosely. His eyes then took on a pure white color and white rays glowed from them. He couldn't feel a headache and the flashing didn't bother him... |

"Appearance's aren't always as they seem," Rith thought to himself as he observed the demon. He wondered what war it was that this man spoke of. It was likely that the light sentials that he spoke of were celestials. "Loosing our temper are we? You answered my question, yes, but You have yet to answer your own. Who are are you and of course what are you?," The voice said calmly. The ball of light changed quickly into a large floating pruple eyeball. The eye was undoubtedly fixated on Incubo. "Are you done with your light show or do you have more tricks up your sleeve," the voice said calmly. |

Incubo was starting to get the idea this creature was somewhat of a... nightmare? Eyeballs were always unpleasant to humankind during thoughts in their slumber. Incubo fell to his feet. His eyes return to its deep red color and his golden aura dulled greatly. "Yes, I'm done with my light show, and I apologize for my ignorance... " Incubo satred at the large purple eye and smiled "It seems you have quite a few tricks your self." "I am a Demon Warrior from a completely different world. My name is Incubo Mortale. I was forced into Imythess to escape the destruction of a 2,000 year war. The war had just recently ended about a year ago. I am 1 of very few demons who had escaped." |

The purple eye circledd aroun Incubo as he spoke and toped in front of Incubo when Incubo stopped speaking. Another eye waas reveal next to it as if by raising an invisible eyelid. Both eyes stared down at Incubo. "I suppose your apology can be accepted. Yes, Incubo, I do have tricks of my own, but to say a few is quite an understatement. My name is Rith and as for what I am, that would take far too long to explain. To put it simply, you wouldn't like to know. So demon warrior, Do you wish to tell more of how you escaped your home world? Also did your light show have anything to do with your demon form?" The voice replied calmly. Rith did not like demons in general. Their chaotic nature made less useful than devils, but Rith knew that their chaotic nature could be changed. He had changed Skorne and he proved to very useful. Rith saw a good bit of potential in this demon. |

Incubo was now in shock. Two eyes and yet he could go on and on with these images. "Well to tell you the truth, Rith, I'm not sure what the "light show" quite is... It's only happened to me one before and that was during the end of the war... Me and my freind Cuore Impuro. We were completely surrounded by Elves and Sentenials... I just lost it and the same thing that just happened to me now, happened then. I went on wild killing spree. I slaughtered all in my path... It was no were near enough... The aura wore off, my eyes returned normal, and my strength lowered back to Demonic. I was be hacked and slashed at and took many arrows to the chest. I screamed for Cuore to save himself but when I'd look up he'd still be their battling. In last resort I summoned all my power and produced a huge explosion of a mixture of Fire and Darkness essence... The next thing I remember I was here in Imythess but was in Norwood Forest. I don't know what I was doing their, nor how I got their. I was striped of my powerful bane and geat armor... I fled from Norwood at the first sign of Elves. Here I try and restart a new life and avenge my family and people. I sensed I was in truoble when you peirced my mind and read my thoughts and it happened out of instict. I doubt I could do it out of freedom." Incubo hoped he hadn't bored Rith to sleep. He'd never spoken to a creature like it before, let alone tell that story to anyone before. |

The eyes watched Incubo emotionlessly as he spoke. They showed no sign of being bored, but also no sign of being interested. They did not move their gaze and they did not even seem to blink. "Interesting.... As for this 'light show', I think it may be to my benifit to learn more of it. If my mental probing activated it I am sure I can find alterate methods of bringing this power to the surface. Prehaps you would even learn how to have a slight bit of control over it. As for the new life I might be able to even help you there. Vengence is always a wonderful motive. How exactly do you intend to avenge your freinds and family?" The voice before pausing. "But for now I should like to know more of this war with elves and sentials if you do not mind.By sentials do you mean celsetial beings? I have heard angels and archons called sentials of light though not too often. Who exactly started this lengthy war and what was it over? Something tells me this isn't the standard story of demons attempting to destroy the world," The voice said calmly. Rith was curious of this war. While tales of battles bored Rith, looking at wars from a broad perspective was quite enjoyable. |

"I hope you don't mind if I rest upon this rock as I tell you all that I can and how to inform you," said Incubo calmly as he leaned on a massive stone lodged in the earth. "Hmm where to start... First off, I'm very grateful for you assistance in anyway possible. I plan to avenge my people by destroying any Elf that has a pure heart and oath against demonic creatures. Dark Elves haven't bothered me in the past, they actually would have allied with us if the Elves hadn't sealed the portal to our world. I've never come in contact with a Nuetral Elf but as far as I'm concerned they don't bother me. The sentenials that allied the Elves were indeed celestial beings. The start of the war was an ambush of elves, or so I've heard. I was born into the war so I never had much time to learn about it. From what I heard Elves opened a portal from their dimension to ours. We were known for terrorizing and attacking Elven cities. We had no intentions how ever on destroying the world..." Incubo chuckled "Theirs no fun after that." He resumed is story, "They were supposedly planning this many years before. During the planning process, they were also recruiting the Celestial beings that would cause our downfall. We had never fought a war with the kinds of Sentenials before so we didn't know what they were capable of... Although this was an ambush, my people were strong, it took them this many years to finally put an end to the war. I suppose they just wanted revenge..." Incubo stared at the lengthy trees that seemed to touch the sky... |

Rith smiled to himself. This war could have been for anything and caused by anyone. It could be easy for the demons to tell their children that they are not at fault for the war, but it is also possible that the elve were the cause of the war, but even form what Incubo knew the blame of the war could easily be shifted upon the demons and it would make perfect sense that the angels aided the elves. The lack of information was annoying, but the whole thing was still considerable funny. He saw Incubo's desire for vengence as a boon and a bane. It was good because it made Incubo an easy target for any of Rith's plans. It was bad because it was an unendable desire. The eyes stared at Inucbo without seeming to move at all as he spoke. "Be careful with such acts of vengence, They are often returned with set to broad and made so unending. Some times, as you have seen your self, it is a seed that grows when watered. The plant it iself not only spreads more seeds, but waters them as well...," The voice laughed before a slight pause. "You say you are a demon warrior. Are your skills only in battle as one might expect of one who has been in war for basically all of his life?" Rith doubted the Demon would have many skills outside battle, if any at all. He depending on what types of battle skills he had, he may be more or less useful, but that could be discerned later. Rith would play with the man's head in a little bit to see if he could find out more of Incubo's strange aura. He already had formed several theroies of what it was in his head. |

Incubo thought about Rith's words before speaking. "Yes I am a Demon Warrior and used to fashion sword mastery and protecting those much higher than me but..." Incubo took out his dagger and showed his tattered cloak. "I'm afraid I am useless now. However I am doing very well money wise and soon will buy new weaponrys..." Incubo heard a loud growl in his stomach. "Hm it's been awhile since I've had some bread and wine... Care to show me where the nearest bar is? I could try and answer more of your questions their hopefully." Incubo stared at the two eyballs wondering if it had a true form or not... |

Rith rolled his eyes. It would be certainly strange for a disimbodied pair of eyes taking someone to a bar. Rith was running out of questions, but more continued to arise. He was finding quite an intrest in the man even though he stated that he had lost battle worthy skill. Rith liked to work with peopel who had potential, but needed help in fufiling it. The person whas learned everything with your help will respect you more than the person who has learned all on his own. "I suppose there is more work do do with you than formerly thought," the voice laughed as the two eyeballs vanished as if by invisible eyelids closing over them. Spidery legs jutted out of Rith's and helped him climb down the trunk of the tree. Instead of his his child form descending down the tree. He was a tall humaniod figure. He wore an elegant puprle cape with a fancy black outfit. Purple gloves covered his hands. Rith's head seem to be little more than a back shadow. His pace had no features at all, save two bright purple glowing eyes. " I suppose I have time to show you to the nearest tavern," the voice souned as Rith's spidery legs in his back touched down on the ground and began to lower him. |

Incubo smiled, amazed by what Rith was capable of. "Ok boss, lead the way." Incubo looked a back up at the tree and noticed that the book was gone. I wonder what that could be... I'll make sure to ask him in the bar... Incubo jotted down in his mind. |
