- OVERVIEW
Deus Mortuus is a
friendly roleplaying community where we accept everyone, no matter
their writing skill level. We're small and typically niche, and instead
of focusing solely on combat and increasing characters' power, we try to
focus on character development, bolstering one's writing skills, and
general advancement of plots both site and personal. Whether English is
your first language or your tenth, you'll always be welcome here -
provided you show a desire to improve and obey the rules, everyone is
welcome.
THEME
Deus Mortuus is based around
numerous demonologies of certain religions, and the basis for it is that
Hell itself is actually an alternate reality colloquially known as
"Inferis". We don't restrict on which side you can roleplay, and
typically we endorse users having multiple characters to get a fuller,
richer experience. Whether you want to be good, evil, neutral,
apathetic, detached, or simply caught up in it all is entirely up to
you.
CHARACTER TYPES
There are six base character types as of this moment in Deus Mortuus, but as plot advances, more will emerge:
> Demon Hunters are established as the main and
primary character type. As the name would suggest, their primary purpose
is the hunting and destruction of all things Demon. Demon Hunters are
given moral freedom and the ability to conjure Evocations, mythical
weapons and skills, when they're in Inferis.
>
Demons are typically the main antagonists of Deus Mortuus, and
another prominent character types. Whilst not strictly chaotic or
anarchic, a majority of Demons are typically evil. They reside in
Inferis, usually given freedom under the Overlord's regime, and can
conjure what are known as Demon Apparatus, similar to a Demon Hunter's
Evocations.
> Templars are elite black operations
units who are essentially devout Catholics and part of the secret
society known as the Templar Order. Their primary purpose is to suppress
and destroy any evidence of Inferis' existence. They have access to
large armouries filled with modernistic weaponry and Templar Augments,
which thrive on energy found only in Inferis.
>
Ritualists are traumatised and usually immoral individuals
haunted by Demons from beyond the barrier and usually tempted into
summoning them whereupon they can be possessed or bonded with. Bonded
Ritualists can utilise Amalgams, specialised Evocation-type abilities in
the real world, and Inferis Morphs, amalgamating their human form and
the demonic energies to create a grotesque and powerful mixture of the
two in Inferis.
> Civilians are regular humans, be
they militant or not. Whilst possessing no inherent abilities, some
Civilians can come into possession of weaponry with relative ease, and
can be pulled into Inferis by Templars, bonded Ritualists, and Demon
Hunters to simply come along for the ride.
>
Archdemons are ten named and extremely powerful Demons with
preset powers. Nine of them are the Ovelord's lieutenants, and one is
the Overlord, Lucifer, himself. The Archdemons rule Inferis - but be
warned, they are canon positions, cannot be recreated or remade,
their numbers are limited and require devoted members.
PLOT EVENTS
On
a regular basis, Deus Mortuus undergoes plot events of varying size.
Some are small, whereas others may concern the whole site. These plot
events can be just about anything, and some are character type specific,
but usually they're more open than that. Plot events can be contributed
to by the general member base and created by just about anyone who has
an idea - just contact the administration team!
