Lasting Impact
It is two hundred trine (years) before the Gelfling Jen and Kira reunite the Crystal with its lost shard. The self-proclaimed Lords of the Crystal, the Skeksis, rule supreme over the peaceful planet of Thra. Their subjects, the Gelfling and the Podling, live their lives blissfully unaware of the terrible exploitation they're subjected to and the mysterious experiments performed by the Skeksis scientist. The peaceful urRu, or Mystics, continue their monastic existence without interfering in the lives of their counterparts.
In the absence of the World-Mother, Aughra, Thra's power wanes. She has abandoned her home and cast her soul into the stars at the suggestion of the deceptive Skeksis, who hold total power without her meddling. She sleeps, and she dreams of planets and galaxies beyond her own. Worse yet, something stirs deep within the tunnels of the planet--a darkness unlike the blight currently creeping across the land. Not even Emperor Skekso, who dabbles in the dark arts of sorcery, knows its nature. The Gelfling are oblivious of the threat, but not for long, and the Skeksis intend to hide it from them as long as they possibly can while a solution is concocted.
This roleplay will take place either mainly in the Castle of the Crystal or in multiple places at once, depending on how many players are interested in joining. It is recommended that players have prior knowledge of the Dark Crystal, either having watched the movie or the TV show. If you have not watched either and are still interested in the concept, please let me know and I can fill you in on some of the basics!
You can play an OC or an existing character such as a Skeksis or urRu (skekSil, urVa, skekMal, urSol). Any of the existing Thra races are welcome, or you could isekai a character in here. If the latter is your wish, please PM me with your character for me to give the all-clear.
