Organizing Evil Cult... Interested?

[Satoshi]

Before I begin this post, let me state that I am going to have to talk to GBX about aquiring an Organization/Faction section in the forum, as well as to coordinate some of the ideas I want to work with. I'll also talk with Echelon and Kaldaris, simply because those two are the only other DMs on during the times I'm active most. In addition, unless you feel that you are a serious and mature roleplayer who can stomach being a 'true' classic or atypical villain... please don't waste my time or your own.

That being said, let me get to the point: I'm tired of playing wishy-washy good and neutral characters. I'm also tired of people saying that in the abscense of the Drow, there is no organized non-npc/dm evil. I'm also tired of seeing what little evil there is be isolated and disjointed.

I intend to organize a cult; a player-run organization, like the Mage's Guild, for the players of Lawful and/or Neutral Evil characters (CN and a few select CE will also be welcome). I have not decided on a deity (or devil/demon lord patron) that I intend to be devoted to - open to suggestion though Gargauth, Asmodeus, and Grazz't are all major contendors at the moment.

I intend to play a Cleric (High Priest/Future Blackguard or Warpriest) of whatever evil is eventually decided upon. I'm looking for Warlocks, Clerics, Sorcerors/Wizards, Fighter-Blackguard builds, and the like. I would prefer new characters built for the organization, at least to start with, but again, I'm open to discussion.

If anyone wants to offer ideas, post them here. If you wish to coordinate joining, do it through PMs to me - if/until an organization page is made, I don't want too much information out in the open, due to unintentional metagaming and possible complications out of character knowledge could cause.

Agreed.

Just wanted to state my support.
Check your PMs

[MagicCHicken]

What, there's no Banites here? Booooooooo!

Alright, I've had several responses already via PMs - it seems a lot of you have been waiting for just such an organization. Alright, this is good stuff - I wanted to follow up with a little more information. Currently, I've decided that my character is a Cleric of Asmodeus. One of the PMs denoted that our main enemy - the Triumvirate - serve three gods. In contrast, this PM suggested the cult should have a similar set-up.

Here's the deal - As a servant of Asmodeus, this cult will also provide safe haven for the servants of the other Archdukes (as well as servants of Gargauth). This is because even though the servants of the Devils, like their masters, are treacherous, scheming, and always searching for promotions - they also have a common goal: Sundren is a ripe ground to gather resources, and aquire a stable powerbase in the area.

Hopefully, this will invite more creativity, and a wider variety of players, into our little litany of evil.

make sure to post descriptions and names of members so the faction of paladins can do the much needed smiting.

Ronin: :Evil seems to be gathering a base here in sundren, excellent more work for me to do.

You accept Bard/Assassins or Bard/Dragon Disciple or Bard/Assasin/Dragon Disciple? (Chaotic Neutral or Neutral Evil)

[Pycroft]

..

I'm certainly in favor of this, considering two evil character, but I'd rather do this IC rather than through the boards, or at least on the Roleplay area of the forums.

Currently, I'm building the Church internally, with only new characters. This is to represent our current secrecy - So, screw you paladins, you ain't getting names or faces, or locations. :P

Once we become a serious threat to the balance of Sundren's political infrastructure - or at least once we're established enough to not be smote so easily by the Triad - we'll accept other evil characters. If you are willing to create a new character, send me an application in my PMs. I'll review it, and see how we can fit it in. I want to have a lot of inter-player communication, since we will be working for the benefit of all, not just our own individual gain.

[Lockindal]

Definitely have to work in total secrecy at first, as otherwise paladins would be all over it, ya?

And yeah, screw you paladins. :P

[Vichtor]

Nonsense. Operate with discretion, but absolute secrecy isn't required. In fact, allowing certain information to spread can often be far more effective than trying to keep all information pent up at all times. It's a matter of how, when, and where....

If that made no sense to you, then stick with secrecy.

I'm looking forward to when this group becomes a true power. Let's give that alhoon in the necropolis a run for its money!

[undeadsteak]

Right, i feel like making a evil char now.

[Acheron77]

I just recently made a wishy-washy neutral cleric.

Looks like it's time for me to roll myself up a new character.

[Delexos]

Ok people, before everyone gets ahead of themselves and starts popping little baby devil worshippers all over the server its time to apply the brakes a little.

After intense discussion with several other dms it has been decided that if enough people really are interested in this, then it should be allowed a shot.

But there are issues here, the last thing we need is another 'drow incident', we are not looking for a player group where devil worshippers go running around slaying other pc's at random.

So to try and combat this I am offering my services, Anyone who is interested in this must send me a personal pm with a full bio for their proposed character, and I mean full. I want to know the ins and outs of your character, origins, mental profiling, ambitions the lot, I need to see that you have reasearched the demon/devil prince be it Asmodeus or whatever.

This applies even if your only making a non-ecl race (human,dwarf etc.) Obviously ecl races will also have to be viewed and discussed by the whole dm team as is standard practice.

Any questions send to me via pm, this will take time to organise so dont expect replies/approval to happen 5 minutes after you submit your characters but this is the best way to cut out those people who dont consider the implications of making a cult worshipper.

[Delexos]

Ok forgive me for not adding this sooner but it is 2:24am so im not entirely on my top form right now.

If this is to be a cult, you all need to have the same devil/demon to worship, though it is true some demons/devils have their little alliances it is going to be infinately easier for group dynamics to have you all follow the same evil personality. So take some time, knock it back and forth amongst yourselves and come to a decision, once one has been decided then that will be the devil/demon that will be the figurehead of the cult group.

Any complaints or problems with this you can send to my pm box, but I am pretty certain that if this is going to have even the remotest chance of working, then this is the best way to proceed.
