http://web.archive.org = Amazing!
Of all the roleplays I used to play, I think Mage Wars was my favorite (or maybe that's just nostalgia), I don't really have time, but to anyone interested, I would recommend resurrecting it.
I resurrected this piece from Mage Wars with the web.archive (^_^)... from the old days when we hadn't conceived of OOC threads and didn't need character descriptions because part of the fun was introducing the character through writing.
"Theros didn't have long to ponder Dryania's look's for they soon left the ground to enter the throne room in the center of the Earth Tree. The chamber was huge with a raised platform on which two thrones sat. The room was dimly lit by small fungi that covered the walls along with creepers thorns, vines, poisonous plants, and other abominations of nature. The dim light was just enough to reveal the creatures that resided within. An army of thousands of parasites filled the chamber and there were thousands more not even in the throne room. Dryania and her mages had created a few of these abominable creatures that were able to spawn quickly and create an enormous army. All these creatures were a mix of metal, earth, stone, and wood, and held together by magic. The originals had evolved to become more powerful then the rest of the army and were leaders in it just as the earth and darkness mages were.
Dryania had taken her seat while Theros had been admiring their army. Now he walked to her and sat on the throne next to her and lifted his fist in the air.
"TO WAR!" he shouted as the army burst out into joyous screams of war that would have destroyed any mortal ears and shook the earth.
Miles away, the once green trees at the Hub dropped their illusion of health and became dead and decaying masses of wood. Darkness once again arose on the Earth.
[OOC: Just to get this straight and stop any further complaints, I am NOT god moding. I have simply established that Dryania is corrupted, in league with Theros, and as a huge army that she has been creating for years. She can still be beaten or changed back. Just think about what is strong against Earth/wood (*coughs* fire) and you can beat her and Theros. Talk to ya later boys.]
[P.S. I don't have time to proofread so just ignore any typos. Love ya! Bye!]"
Oh, and if anyone is interested, here's the old intro for the roleplay:
"-Absolutley NO god moding
-You cannot kill someone unless they do not post for three days

Ok so heres the story. The world as we know it does not yet exsist. It is a time of beasts, swords, and of course, magic. You may summon troops to fight for you, cast spells on other players, and lay seige to anothers stronghold. The world is in need of order. It needs someone to take total control and bring it peace and prosperity. You must play the game as you see fit, be it by alliances, or by betrayals. Do you best.... or your worst...."
