You are part of a great saga, one with a deep and complex history. Whether you have been one of us for a hundred years or a single day, the choices you make will affect your life, and your life will affect our story. Will you be our next great hero or noble king? Will you be known for the cities you build from the ground, or will stories of your prowess as a warrior be told throughout Loka? Will you be a scholar, studying history in the library and teach others, or you will you be a combination of everything I’ve mentioned? The choices are yours. Listen now, young one, to your history.
Background
Worlds
The people Loka have seen five worlds. The first is called the World of the Three Sisters, the World of the Artifact, or simply the First World. The second is called Loka, The Abandoned World, or the Second World. The third, fourth, and fifth are merely called by the numerical names, The Third World, the Fourth World, and the Fifth World.
Technology
Knives are teleportation devices used to “slice” through space. They are said to be alien technology, and difficult to reproduce.
Recall Devices are used by Slicers to return to their bases after using Knives. The Artifact blocks their use.
Harvesters are devices used by the Slicer government to destroy dead planets and asteroids and gather their resources.
The Artifact is a device assumed to have been created by the mysterious Ancients. It prevents us from dying permanently or using recall devices.
Key Characters and Affiliations
The Slicers are scientists who study foreign worlds using Knives. They typically slice in teams of twelve and use recall devices to return to their base. Over time, the term Slicer has come to mean any denizen of Loka who arrived from another world. Many Slicers have become trapped by the Artifact.
(Note: “Slicer” has become an honorary rank, and not all those with the mechanical Slicer rank are RP Slicers, or vise versa.)
Guardians are beings of great power who existed on the World of the Three Sisters long before the first Slicers. They are believed to have been evil, and were placed in an enchanted sleep in chambers far beneath the ground. Some of them were awoken by Asymptonic. Since then, all Guardians have learned their power from the original four or those taught by them.
Little is known about The Ancients. It is assumed they are the ones who created the Artifact and placed the Guardians in their chambers. Who they are and what they want are unknown to use. We only know they are very powerful.
Aesir are the Gods of Asgard. Vanir are the Gods of Vanaheim. More information can be found about them in Chronicles by Cryptite. The books can be found in the Aladra Library.
Asymptonic was the leader of the team who first sliced to the World of the Three Sisters. His team discovered the Artifact. He also awoke the first five Guardians.
Preksak was a Slicer who worked on the same base as Asymptonic. They were rivals, however, and Preksak was jealous of Asymptonic’s success with the Knives. This rivalry turned into hate, and he became determined to kill Asymptonic and his people, the Lokans.
Cryptite was a Vanir god who was banished for giving part of his powers to Preksak in order save his life. For this offence, the Aesir took his powers and memories from him and banished him to The Abandoned World.
Freyjia is a Vanir goddess of Asgard. She assisted Cryptite in fighting Preksak during the Battle of the Spire by gifting him two items, the sword Lævateinn and the Cloak of Flight, along with the memories necessary to use them.
History
The World of the Three Sisters
The first Slicers arrived on The First World by a Knife. They quickly discovered the Artifact and that this device would not let them use their recall devices. Eventually, they realised they could also not die permanently. The other original Slicers, save Asymptonic, ventured off into the wild and went insane. Asy stayed and welcomed new Slicers who were sent to search for his team.
Once he came across a chamber with two men standing, frozen. Asy awoke them, and nursed them back to health. These were the first Guardians. Two others were awoken as well. (DiabolicalMech, mopb3, Gallazius, and Magpieman. All later Guardians would learn their powers from the first four.) Guided by Asy and the Guardians, civilization began to arise, and the prisoners no longer hated their prison. It was a haven.
However, Preksak found where Asy’s team had sliced to. He arrived there and used stolen Harvesters to begin destroying the world. Asy and his people found the Knife Preksak had used to arrive there, and used it to teleport to the base on which he had worked. They sliced again using the Knife there, and found themselves on top of a pyramid in a sprawling desert on a New World...
But Preksak was left on the on the World of the Three Sisters. A wandering Vanir found him, and upon seeing his situation granted the man part of his own power to escape the dying world. This Vanir would be confronted by the Aesir for doing the forbidden, was stripped of his power and memory, and was banished.
The Abandoned World
The people called this new world Loka. Here, they were safe for awhile. The fallen Vanir, now called Cryptite, created a city by the name of Asgard, which became a haven of neutrality.
However, Preksak found this world and had intentions of destroying it. trapped Asymptonic high above the Spire, as he and Cryptite fought. With the help of the goddess Freyjia, Cryptite stopped Preksak, and only the Spire was destroyed. This event is known was the Battle of the Spire.
This world ended with a disease called The Blight. A mysterious Obelisk appeared, and despite warnings to leave it alone, it was opened and it released the Blight. Sickness spread until we knew it was time to escape. Cryptite and Asymptonic managed to turn the Spawn Tower into a Knife and we soon found ourselves on a new world.
The Third World
The Third World was but a temporary home to the Lokans. Ghosts roamed this world, and earthquakes shook it frequently. Unrest filled the air as they knew they could not remain here. The Lokans managed to escape using the Knife in the tower to find a new, more permanent home.
The Fourth World
This world was the home to the Lokans for a long time. It saw the arrival of many new Lokans, several great cities, and the first territory wars.
After years of safety, Preksak returned. He weakened the Artifact and destroyed generator protection. As Preksak used harvesters to rip it apart in a similar fashion to the destruction of the World of the Three Sisters, the Lokans engaged in a battle for their lives.
The Fifth World
The Fifth World, the World of Aladra and the three continents, is where the Lokans escaped after their great battle with Preksak, narrowly escaping death. It appeared other Slicers, the people of Aladra, had arrived on this world, but their Knife was broken. Here, territory wars continue to be fought, towns and alliances trying to control vital resources. The story will go on.
