Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

I got no job!

Alrog

Bored out of his mind, Alrog wandered the village of kellen. He had been kicked out of his job at the forge because the voices in his had got the better of him and while he was possesed he had thrown a large amount of liquid metal on the master smith. So, he was out of a job and waiting for something, anything to happen. To add a bit those voices in his head were acting up again.

Kanen wanders the streets of Kellen in a relaxed and curious manner. The people here smile and wave at him as if he were an old friend; they treat their horses like gods. He supposes he has no right to preach, as he worships Luna the moon goddess. Other cultures seem to have different names for her however. The sun is bright, casting small shadows across the ground, but to tell the truth all Kanen really wants at this moment is a good blacksmith. Over the countless battles waged in defense of his homeland, the two handed sword on his back has become nicked and dull. It no longer sings with deadly menace when drawn from his scabbard.

He walks confidently up to the blacksmith shop, although he cannot read the script, the anvil and hammer are plain enough. As he walks in he greets the currant Master blacksmith with a few words of courtesy. He then unsheathes his sword and lays it on the table

"Can you fix it old man?"

"Are you kidding?! One of my prized apprentices just killed one of my employees! I don’t have time to forge a sword! The madman dumped a pot of molten Iron on the poor fella. His screams will haunt my dreams for months. There lies the poor soul." He motions to a white bundle near the back of the room. "I’m still waiting for the grave keeper to come and collect his remains."

Kanen curses and slams his sword back into its scabbard. "By the moon and stars! This is just my luck! Fare ye well old man."

Walking up to the man who left his former place of employment Alrog looked the man over and spoke to him, "Can't get ya sword fixed eh? They all hate me for my friends in my head." Hearing the voices again he said to the man as they started to take over, "Oh no, it looks like you will be meeting my friends real soon." Grabbing his and screaming bloody murder Alrog was consumed by his inner demons. "You have a sword? What luck, so do I! Do you duel?"

kanen draws his sword in one smooth motion. Coming into a ready stance. "Come on then stranger if you wish to fight. It will be my pleasure to beat you." Kanen grins, he always did love a good battle. " Let us see who is the better sword master. You or I."

Smiling Alrog drew his sword and said to the man, "All right, some sport! No killing or dismembering, all right?" Alrog held his sword at the ready and waited for the man to make the first move. The voices screamed and he watched as his body readyed for a fight without him in control. Being unable to control his body was very scary.

Kanen laughs, his eyes are icy. " Very well, first man to blood the other three times wins. Fight well friend." With a war cry Kanen sweeps forward, bringing his sword down in a feint before slashing upward toward the chest.

Watching helplessly from inside his head, Alrog's body steeped back out of the way of Kanen's blade and used a diagonal slash at Kanen's chest. No,no, no! Get out of my head! The voices only laughed at Alrog's attempt to regain control of his body.

Kanen smiles as his sword sweeps by. At least now he knows its not going to be a short fight. With a flick of his wrist he brings his blade down to block the slash. In quick succession he jabs for his opponents thigh.

Kanen was a crafty foe. Even while he was not in control he could appreciate the battle. The voices almost let him slice his leg for the pain. Instead, as they screamed aboul how they would be hamstringed, they deflected the blade and backed off to see how he would attack.

Kanen lets Alrog back up, his eyes follow the man with intense consentration. There is only him and his blade. He moves forward, slowly, making the tension build. He knows his opponent will be expecting an attack at any moment....just a few more seconds and....Now! With very little effort he taps his oponents blade with his own, keeping him off balence for the moment he needs to slash at his exposed center line ( Torso).

As the sword slashed his chest all the voices in his head cheered at the pain. Even Alrog cheered. But his cheers were cut short as his body rushed in, shoved Kanen's blade aside and aimed a punch at Kanen's jaw. Alrog gave up fighting his voices and became one with them for the fight.

Kanen grins as he gets first blood. He was not expecting a counter attack so soon though and his blade is swept to the side. There is no way for him to dodge the fist aimed at his face, so he does the next best thing. He rolls with the punch, turning his head in the direction of the punch so that it merely grazes his jaw instead of hitting him full on. When he regains his balence he lashes out with his foot, intent on dislocating Alrog's knee.

Being one with his inner voices Alrog sees the foot coming towards his knee And jumps jumps to the side, rolls to his feet and slashes at his foe's side. The cut on his chest throbs and he ignores the pain, intent only on drawing blood.

By the time Alrog is done with his roll Kanen is already in a fighting possition, blocking the whisling blade sends shockwaves up his arm, but he ignores them. The only reason why Kanen wasnt cut open by that blow was because Alrog decided to roll on the ground. Rolling takes up a lot of time and unless you are doing it to save yourself from a bad fall, its a waste of energy. With little room to manuver, Kanen sweeps his opponents blade with his own in a deadly arch. Moving both blades away from any cuttable flesh.

Knowing that he could defeat Kanen if he went offensive Alrog slashed a Kanen with a flurry of quick slashes. Even if he didn't land a blow Alrog could tire Kanen.
