United Dungeon Dwellers: introduction & sign-up
Once upon a time...
in a country far far away. Civilized nation blossomed and was enjoing many remarkable cultural achivements. People lived somewhat happy lives and there was no shortage of life's basic requirements.
During this time a group of people started to become greedy. The safe life wasn't enough for them and they started accumulate wealth and power by any means necessary. They managed to plant their people to key positions in the society and put forth a plan to take over and control the nation. They hired many outlanders and gave them permission to kill and plunder as they pleased to frighten the peaceloving people. Under the influence on "terror" the greedy men formed a party and wrote several laws that were designed to control every aspect of living, in the name of security of course. Thus the once glorious nation had fallen under cruel regime. The nation was surrounded by a huge wall that was supposed to keep the foreign enemies away, but some people started to question the purpose of the wall. Was it really for keeping someone out or keeping everybody in?
During this sad time the evil government supressed everyone and everything they thought could be a threath to them. One of these people was a old and wise shaman known as Beta. This shaman spoke to the people about freedom of will and taking control of their lives. It was tolerated for a while. But when Beta published a thesis titled "People should not fear their government, their government should fear the people" he was arrested and thrown into a dungeon. The guards rumoured that they have heard some big cat growl in the dungeons and that someone had seen a glimpse of spotted tail in the dark corner of the cell. Shamans were in harmony with the nature and some have said that they have powers to transform into wild creatures.
Beta was held in a cell number IV. He had a neighbour... a very strange neighbour. In cell number V was a man that had gone through great deal of pain. He was a guinea pig in government run experiment. Scientist used methods of alchemy in order to change a man into a perfect soldier. First they tried merging a man with a wild beast, but it failed as the results know as 'chimera' were mentally retarded and could barely speak. Next attempt was to merge a human with un-organic materials.. mainly metals. All the test subjects died except one, man named proviisori. He became so powerful that they had no way to control him, so he was thrown in to the dungeon too. The alchemy done to him enhanced his physical and mental strength, but destroyed all the memories from past life. This man had no past, he had nothing to lose.
In another cell along the same corridor was another sad figure. The last survivor of the native people of these lands, the Wyandots. Wyandots have lived for ages on these plains, hills and mountains. They lived peacefully with the city people untill things turned for the worse. The evil government destroyed the Wyandot, men, women and children. Only one man remains... He is called Wittlich. He's an excellent hunter and tracker and knows all one needs to know about surviving in the wilderness.
While the state alchemists were conducting their experiments, a huge explosion destroyed the chimera labs almost completely. They were trying to merge two humen and one dog in effort to make more intelligent chimera. The alchemists calculated the energies wrong or they really didn't know what they were doing. Even though the lab was destroyed, the actual merging was a complete. The beast was more intelligent than an ordinary human being, but it looked like a three headed dog. But the enormous pain from three merged nervous systems made the creature unable to function from time to time. The beast managed to escape during the accident and wondered into the dark alleys of the city. Later, Beta found the beast when it was barely breathing due to crushing pain. With his shamanistic powers, Beta managed to cure the nerves that caused the pain and the beast dropped down and fell asleep. When he woke up he thanked Beta and promised to help him in any way possible. As a symbol of his gratitude, the three headed beast allowed Beta to name him. That way the beast got his name, Cerberus. Unfortunately Cerberus was captured the same time as Beta.
We have to mention one character too that got persecuted by the dictatorship. He is rumpo kid. He is not a little kid actually, but a full grown man. He got the nickname at a young age when he really enjoyed making practical jokes. Well... actually he never stopped making practical jokes. The boy never grew up. When the change of power happened in the nation, rumpo kid thought that the government was taking things way too serious. He started to pull pranks on the people of high status. Years of practise had made rumpo very good at it and he wasn't caught. Not untill on 5th of November he used a stockpile of fireworks he had stored over the years to blow up the parliamentary building. It was night so no-one got hurt... rumpo really didn't want to harm anyone physically, not even the most evil people. That stunt was enough.. the government organized a huge police and military campaing to track down rumpo and finally they found him hiding in an abandoned toy workshop.
The nation had a huge military... not really to fight some enemy, but to control their own people. It was common that the offspring of officers would also seek military careers. This was also the case for uniteatteri a young and capable soldier. He quickly rose in the ranks of army and was the youngest lieutenant of the time. His charming personality and good looks made him one of the most wanted bachelors of the nation. All was going well for him, but eventually the cruelty and mistreatment he witnessed begun to affect him. One day he refused to obey an order to burn a house while the family was still inside. Because of this, the army stripped him from his rank and put him to the worst job they could imagine... guard duty in the dungeons.
