Story Synopsis for Fall LARP #1

A trouble brewing across a number of universes, worlds in peril, a group of people all alien from one another, different almost entirely, linked only in where they have arrived.

  • A powerful wandering Wish Granter,
  • a Thief with his past left behind but his skill still readily used,
  • a Tinkerer from of a world of steam and industry,
  • an Incarnate of the Elemental Force of Cold,
  • an Explorer from the diverse world of Atlantis,
  • an Astronaut from beyond the grave,
  • a Nature Guide of great power however small will,
  • a Man devoid of moral and sanity striving for outer perfection among the stars,
  • Wanderer, learner of the universe, and claimed chemist, cursed to remain outside of time.

All brought by a device of some form, fueled by energies unknown, that is creating havoc, disrupting the balance. Our strangers find themselves in a crack, a rift where each of their worlds meets.

The Chemist, claiming to have some understanding, round up the assembly of newcomers. The unknown heroes set out to seek answers, beginning an exploration of investigation of the fantastical world of magic the gentleman Thief originated.

A reminder for LARPers to please take a moment to say a little about your character on our Discord LARP server in the #larp-character so we can all better understand who we each are and how we all arrived in Dragonwood.

Fade

Abilities and strengths: A wisp if black smoke is the wind, manifesting itself as many different people, all of which are as real as if the mysterious spirit had not brought them here…

Flaws and weaknesses: Every different character manifested has a different weakness, such as the photographer’s total ineptitude at combat.

Species and homeworld: Not applicable as the Faded One is not a biological, mechanical, or etherial consciousness; the Faded One is the beginning of all worlds, and the end of the cycle of time

Appearance: Changes according to its manifestation, but in its true form, it appears as a roiling black cloud larger than the multiverse.

Occupation or calling: To see, and understand what it’s creators could not.

Skills: Changes with each manifestation.

Demeanor, mannerisms, and quirks: The Personality of each character changes, but although the Faded One may seem whimsical at times, its every action is one step closer to its ultimate goal.

Psychology, personality or motivations: If you knew this, you would cry even as your mind broke apart.

Background or origin story: This was explained if you read the rest of the entry.
