When The Light Starts Off

T
Thatmikail

The sky bleeds cerulean dusk; crimson grasslands glow with decay. Obsidian spires rise through a shattered sky, where Kaiju mutate scavengers. Fleshforge splice star-flesh, Voidforged wield entropy; Orc shamans carve scars to channel the Eclipse Bull’s shadow—a beast whose antlers shattered time. Luminarchs burn with prismatic flames; Vampires drink starlight to stave rot. At its core: the Purple Hunger, a void-parasite devouring sound and sanity. Survive via mutation, betrayal, or decay.


Author's Note: This is all my notes and it's my own creation to deliver with you guys: 1. RACES Core Theme: Survival through adaptation to a decaying, unstable world. Animatroniac : Clockwork beings seeking “true life” via heart-theft (ties to Fleshforge, Voidforged). Human : Ambitious but fragile, driven by desperation (key for Shattered Eclipse/Vortexcall conflicts). Elves/Ucing : Connected to unstable natural forces (e.g., fungal corruption, echolocation). Vampire/Half-Vam : Immortal but bound to light/darkness cycles (clash with Luminarchs/Obsidian Choir). Kaiju-Hybrid Races (Orc, Nailling, Beastbound) : Embody physical and magical mutations from cosmic decay. Mechanics: Mutations (e.g., random effects from Kaiju Graveyard exposure). Light/darkness immunities/resistances (e.g., Vampire vs. Voidforged). 2. CLASSES Core Theme: Power derived from chaos , sacrifice , or fusion with cosmic forces. Eclipse Weaver / Luminarch : Manipulate unstable light/prismatic energy (risk mutation). Voidforged / Spirekin : Weaponize entropy and void-energy (collapse environments). Fleshforge / Beastbound : Merge organic and celestial/mutant forms (risk losing humanity). Glovewhisper / Cogmancer : Use rhythm or gearwork magic to outmaneuver foes. Mechanics: Prismatic Collapse : Risk mutation for power. Voidsteel Anchor : Warp gravity to destabilize enemies. Temporal Reflexes : Counter time loops (Chronophagia/Prismatic Forest synergy). 3. FACTIONS Core Theme: Ideological wars over how to survive or exploit the world’s decay. Fleshforge : Seek evolution through mutation (clash with Eidolon Harvesters). Chronophagia : Rewrite history (feud with Obsidian Choir over time/sound). Obsidian Choir : Worship silence (target Luminarchs’ prismatic rituals). Eidolon Harvesters : Drain memories (oppose Fleshforge/Voidforged). Conflicts: Kaiju Graveyard : Fleshforge vs. Gianté nomads. Voidborn Chasm : Voidforged vs. Eidolon Harvesters. Eclipse Bull’s Hollow : Orc clans vs. Vampire hunters.
