Now that the forum's coming alive again, I want to try something I've wanted to try for a while. It's Reyn Time for the Xenoblade RP!
SPOILER WARNING!! This RP will include races, locations, and characters involved in major plot points in Xenoblade Chronicles! If you haven't played through Xenoblade, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER!!
- Backstory:
Long ago, two titanic beings waged an endless battle in the infinite sea. The Bionis, and the Mechonis. The two beings killed each other, and became the landmasses of this world. On the Bionis, organic life flourished, and three dominant species rose: the resourceful Homs, the clever Nopon, and the technologically advanced High Entia.
However, a form of mechanical life rose on the Mechonis: the Machina and the Mechon. The Machina are a peaceful kind, whereas the Mechon are aggressive machines bent on destroying the Bionis and all organic life.
The Mechon are extremely resilient. The only effective weapon against them is the sword of the Bionis, the Monado. The Monado rests in the hands of Shulk, a young Homs boy. Join Shulk on his quest to destroy the Mechon and save Bionis! Or, ally with the Mechon, and bring death and destruction to the Bionis!
