The Denizens of Darkness: The Overview

Welcome, one and all, to the genesis of Project UntitledDarkSouls1, now reborn as the Denizens of Darkness. A special, episodic story that features the members of the DSS (Dark Souls Society) as well as the Fanfiction community as a whole, DoD takes place in an alternate Lordran where time is even more convoluted than usual, and darkness reigns supreme. In a society where law and order has all but collapsed, the fate of the wretched now lies in the hands of a criminal underworld. The soul arts are gone, with new technologies like steam-powered guns and primitive automatons taking their place. Lordran has turned into a shadow of its former glory, with the strong preying on the weak, and only the best of the best surviving. The only thing that stands in their way is a small group of undead, who yet retain their sanity, and may yet retain the world from its final annihilation. Together, they must face death at immeasurable angles, and from every direction.

Their story? You're about to read it.

Starring...

Alone in the blight as Mr. Blight, the mysterious and influential founder of the DSS who is responsible for co-ordinating the movements of the group.

ParagonEmil as The Paragon, a nameless mercenary with an acute close-range weapons proficiency, and a polarising moral compass.

EarthScraper as Caboose, the wisecracking master of bare-fist combat whose humour is just as darkly endearing as his killing capacities.

Mr. Selfish as Selfless, the gadget specialist and primary tactician in the DSS, and the most virtuous member of the group.

Leider Hosen as Lei Hosen, a troubled yet idealistic soldier who assumes the role of the team's conscience, whilst packing a particular proficiency in swordsmanship.

And ASouffleToServeTwo as Scuffle, the team's field leader and master of ranged combat.

Together, they form the DSS (Here known as the Dark Sun Squadron), a group dedicated to pulling Lordran's denizens from the darkness - at any cost.

To anyone who applied and is not on the cast list - I apologise, but the only reason you are not here is either because I don't know you all that well or because you haven't actually written anything. You will all appear as cameos at the very least, with the potential to become recurring at a later point.
Depending on how proactive I am between the point in which I wrote this, and the point in which you are reading it, I may have a pilot chapter ready to go. If not, hold your breath, and keep your eyes peeled.

PS: I know that "girls don't play videogames," and all of that, but why the hell don't any of the LITERALLY THOUSANDS of female writers on this site write DS fanfiction? The DSS is such a sausage fest atm, and the story really does need female characters. So, if anyone knows any girls on the site who might want to get involved, please send them here (they don't have to be DS writers, but they should be familiar with RPGs)

P.P.S. The story will feature some self-referential humour. You know the sort. 4th Wall breaks and all that schizz. Deal.

The State of Things (5/7/14): So, by now, you've probably realised that there's no pilot episode coming today. It's not finished - around 60% - and I refuse to put it up until its absolutely finished. Expect it around mid-week.

Sorry guys... Please don't b angwee wiv mee :(
