To start all off and ya know; things, thank you for giving your time and reading this soon to be masterpiece of adventure and tomfoolery. This is something myself and another thought of, so here we are. I'm going to refer to the other person as Thanatos. Some back-story, Dark Souls has to be one of our most favorite series of games ever, mostly because of the things that we've done on there. So this right here is the idea of creating a story of the three of us, obviously set in dark souls setting, but characters with our personalities and it'll all be from our current, (yes I said current) our current coop play-through. So everything you see written here, is a slightly changed form of what actually happened; the same goes for the dialogue. So you will hear some instances of the old speech, but not like all the other Dark Souls fanfiction where it seems like their all honored knights that grew up learning how to speak correctly, because I think we all know that even knights didn't talk as if they were in front of a king all the time. So you'll be getting two things at once here; a lesson on how medieval time speech was somewhat like, and their thought process, but also on what my, and my friend's personalities are like. Now I'm pretty sure I sold this story when I first said Dark Souls, but I'm not stopping there. My readers, is going to be a whole coop'in experience of a life time. This isn't just going to be Dark Souls 1, but we're including everything. Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3, and we're even throwing in Bloodborne coop.
I know this bio is quite long on this one, but I need to establish some things and just get it out to the audience. So bear with me please.
I've formatted the whole thing of coop, so it doesn't seem blocky and where we summon each other 3 times, because we all know how summoning is on Dark Souls; am I right? Also don't expect much from the character bio's I'm gonna put up. That would ruin the whole thing of reading it and discovering what the characters are like. I'm just gonna put the simple things in there and leave it at that. Before I even post the "First Chapter" I would like some feedback on how I should do the chapters. Like boss to boss, or something like that. It would be wonderful if I could get some assistance.
This chapter is only for the lore section of Dark Souls 1, so just read it for the bios, or the lore. Hell, even both. This is mostly for the tips from you guys, so don't worry about anything too important. It'll be explained more throughout the story.

Back-story: A noble turned undead. He led a noble life until the curse finally struck him. Hatred was a common occurrence around him, and it stayed that way until he was finally set off to the asylum where the other undead were being sent.
In the Age of Ancients the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of grey crags, arch-trees and everlasting dragons.
Then there was Fire, and with Fire came Disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course... Light and Dark.
From the Dark they came and found the Souls of Lords within the flame.
Nito, the First of the Dead;
The Witch of Izalith and her daughters of Chaos;
Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight, with his faithful knights; and the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten.
With the Strength of Lords, they challenged the dragons.
Gwyn's mighty bolts peeled apart their stone scales. The witches weaved great firestorms. Nito unleashed a miasma of death and disease.
Seath the Scaleless betrayed his own and the dragons were no more. Thus began the Age of Fire...
But soon, the flames will fade and only Dark will remain.
Even now, there are only embers and man sees not light, but only endless nights. Amongst the living are seen carriers of the accursed Darksign.
