If you've played the game, you'll have a basic idea of what's going on. It's a thread based off of the board-game HeroScape which is a war game where the players get to make up the board/landscape.
Anyway here's the plot, quoted from the HeroScape site:
Other than that, the plot is:
Raelin, Sgt. Drake Alexander, Major Q10, Shiori, and Sonlen have been sent from Lythra--a fortress held under seige by the Utgar-- to find the center of the Utgar force, and destroy it from the inside. They left behind Syvarris, Kelda, Saylind, Kaemon Awa, and many others to defend the fortress of Lythra. They immediately ran into the Marro Swamps, where swarms of the zombie-like soldiers are created (by Marro Hives). They turned from the swamps and are now on their way to the Northern mountains to find the Wellspring of the North. We might start with the siege of Lythra, which is the only thing standing between the Utgar (antagonists) and one of the largest Jandar cities.
The makers of the game tend to include some pre-made scenarios that players can use, each scenario with its own little story to it. The game sorta follows a story line, using journal entry-like things to explain the whole idea.
So in the thread I was thinking we could use the characters of Heroscape to make our own little story. We can write each post like a journal entry, so it all has to be in first person. It should look something like this:
Raelin - Journal Entry #1
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah..........blah blah.
Yeah, something like that.
I would prefer for everyone to only have one character, but there can be exceptions.
I'm going to be gone for a week, so I won't be able to post or answer anything til i'm back.
Anyway here's the plot, quoted from the HeroScape site:
To know more, go here: www.heroscape.comValhalla was a lush, largely unexplored planet in a distant galaxy, ruled by winged human-like creatures called Kyrie. The Kyrie lived in relative peace for thousands of years. Then the wellsprings were discovered, and everything changed. These mysterious fountains of youth, power and immortality soon became the ultimate plunder in the battle of all time.
The story of Heroscape begins with Thormun, a Kyrie who discovered the first wellspring quite by accident. Thormun recounts the event in his journal:
"When I drank its water, I became stronger in body and mind; my wings grew to a wondrous size; I gained mystical powers; and to my astonishment, I stopped aging. Yet if I did not drink from the wellspring often, the powers faded." Read more now from Thormun’s Journal »
It was not long before new wellsprings were discovered by other Kyrie. They drank from them, gained powers from them, and soon became a species of super-kyrie called Valkyrie. But along with their powers came strange visions of armies at war, armies made up of creatures from other eras, other worlds. As the Valkyrie began a violent struggle to seize control of the wellsprings, they devised ways to summon the warriors of their visions to fight for their cause. Lush valleys and hillsides became military strongholds; majestic mountains became vantage points for deadly attacks on those below. Armies marched, fought, claimed victory or conceded defeat, all for the wellsprings.

They are calling this age of war The Rise of the Valkyrie. And indeed, the Valkyrie have ascended to commanding positions as generals in the ever-intensifying struggle for the wellsprings. As the battles grow bloodier and more challenging, these generals call for brave leaders to join their fight.
