Plot
Strange monsters have been spotted all around the world, each of them being entirely pitch black with strange colored markings littering their bodies in order to highlight certain features. Though their strength varies, each one is highly powerful and can more than handle a competent mage, boasting enough power to even kill one if their guard is down. Little is known about these creatures origins, however once defeated their bodies and very essence will condense into strange crystals which appear to be highly unnatural and almost otherworldly.
Around the same time as all this, strange cloaked men have also begun appearing around every highly populated town and city. They are highly secretive and will kill anyone who attempts to look under their hoods without hesitance, however despite all their oddities they will willingly offer their services to any mage for free as long as they can provide them with the raw materiel's needed, namely the essence crystals dropped by the defeated 'void creatures'. Not much is known about them however and along with the monsters, both their purposes and goals remain unknown.
Void Creatures
Eerie creatures that seem to be of another world. Upon their first sighting they were described as being shapeless blobs of pitch-black darkness, however since then they have evolved to take on the shape of animals and even defeated mages. They also seem to grow stronger by feeding on any surrounding forms of magical energy, allowing them to grow in power depending on the strength of the enemy they are fighting. A mediocre mage will always end up fighting a mediocre level Void Creature, while multiple mediocre mages will fight one a rank higher than themselves.
Generally though, they have monstrous strength and it is impossible to defeat one without sustaining at least some serious injuries. Due to all this, Greenhorn level mages have been forbidden from fighting one, as any mage below Low-level will almost certainly die. When a Void Creature is defeated however, it will leave behind Essence Crystals and grant experience points, the amount being dependent solely on the strength of the defeated beast:
Low-Level: 1 Essence Crystal, 200 Jewels, 20 Exp
Mid-Level: 2 Essence Crystals, 400 Jewels, 40 Exp
High-Level: 4 Essence Crystals, 800 Jewels, 80 Exp
Master-Level: 8 Essence Crystals, 1200 Jewels, 120 Exp
Grand Master Level: 16 Essence Crystals, 2000 Jewels, 200 Exp
How to take part
To take part in the event simply mark one of your threads with "Event" in the title so that staff can differentiate it from regular missions. After that you can either role-play fighting a Void Creature by yourself or with others, though the later will raise the level of the Void Creature so that it is one higher than the strongest mage in the thread. Once the mission is complete the rewards will be given out, however a moderate amount of effort has to be made in each post. A thread that finishes in one post with minimal effort may not earn any rewards at all if the staff judging it feels like not enough work was put towards it. There is no limit in the number of Void Creatures you can fight or the amount of Essence Crystals you can gather, however you can only earn the exp reward once per day.
*Note: All the Void Shops can be found in the Shopping Centre board, or here if you are still having trouble finding it.
**Special Note: Every time you finish a mission, make sure you post it in this thread. Not only does this allow staff to track how many Essence Crystal's you have earned, but it also lets you earn prizes based on how many you have collected by the end of the month.
