Premise
Mankind has spent a good portion of their time in simple bliss. Mighty soldiers fighting off evil beings they don't understand in a so-called Great War. Other forms of power were slowly being developed though nobody was in a rush to do so. After all, even the goddess of life itself was on their side, what more could they want?
For unknown reasons, it all changed one day. Perhaps She grew sick of all the wanton death and destruction going on. Perhaps She had a quarrel with death itself. Perhaps She grew tired of how humanity is handling the war. Whatever it was, it caused the disastrous event known as the Assimilation. Many of the other gods were slain as Elämää, goddess of life, established herself as the one true goddess worthy of worship.
Either a direct result or simply a side-effect of her takeover, life itself began to mutate sporadically, creating monsters constantly evolving to survive. The dead also begin to rise, either to counteract life's increased presence or simply due to the fact that they found an opening to strike. Many Lifegivers struggled with this change in the status quo and while some had questions, others doubled down in their fanaticism and burned down any dissenters who dare to challenge this norm.
Centuries passed and not much changed for the better. Governments regressed to a state of rampant corruption while the common man starved in poverty should they live long enough to survive the many monster attacks. Cultists continue to develop new deadly ways to rival one another. And any spark of hope was either buried or burned down by Life's Crusaders.
Such is the world of Tumma Linna
Rules
1. Characters can follow the character creation guidelines or just be one of the sapient creatures or a member of an organization
2. If you're playing as a Lifegiver, you do have options for subclasses
3. In order to encourage a collaborative worldbuilding effort, I'm putting a requirement on character making. Your first character is free but any more and you will need to contribute. For every 2 pages of worldbuilding (For example, a creature, an organization, a class or sub-class, etc), you can make one more character
4. To encourage horror of the unknown, please PM me these pages instead of posting them here to prevent others from getting details from these pages' lore and spoiling themselves. Then I'll decide to publicize it, keep it a secret, or reject it
5. Whenever a creature encounter happens, I'll PM the creator of the creature and discuss how it'll go before I post the encounter. It's to keep the creature's creator a secret and avoid any prodding for them
6. Please do not reveal any details on your creations that are made to remain private to anyone else as it may ruin the experience for others
Finished characters will be posted here
for those in the know which is very little, this is heavily based off MÖRK BORG
