For those of you unfamiliar with the Ultima series of games well all you need to know is that Ultima was an awesome RPG and Richard Garriot wrote some amazing storylines for the games. The games were based on a man from earth (The player) finding a mysterious circle of stones in the forest behind is new house. On the night of the full moon a portal called a moongate apears inside the circle and the man travels through it 8 times going on adventures. In the first game the hero then known as the "Mysterious Stranger" arrives in a strange new world. He soon finds that this world and about 4 others are threatened by the evil Wizard Mondain. Eventually the hero defeats the wizard and takes the next moongate back to earth.In The second game he had to defeat Minax Mondain's wife as she tore a swath of revenge against the worlds that helped defeat her huisband. Finally in Ultima III The hero defeats Exodus Mondain and Minax's son. Ultima III ends this part in the story.
In Ultima IV The hero arrives via the moongate in the world Britania. This time he finds out that the King of Britannia Lord British has chosen him to become his Champion. Thus the hero starts the quest of the Avatar of virtue. He proves himself to be the embodiment of the 8 virtues (Compassion, Humility, Honesty, Honor, Sacrifice, Valor, Justice, and Spirituality.) At the end of this quest the hero is forever more known as "The Avatar" Champion of virtue.
In Ultima V the Avatar arrives to find that Lord British is missing and that Blackthorne his aid has begun marshall law on Britannia and has become a tyrant. THe Avatar rescues Lord British and destroys the 3 shadow lords whom have corrupted Blackthorne. Unfortunately Blackthorne is not redeemable and is banished from the world of Britannia.
In Ultima VI The Avatar goes through the portal to find himself captured by gargoyles. The gargoyles are calling him the false profit and are attacking Britannia everywhere. He proves himself to the gargoyles and brings peace to the land.
In Ultima VII a new religion called the fellowship is started. It turns out that this fellowship worship an evil entity known as the Guardian. They were making a black moongate for The Guardian to pass into Britannia through but the Avatar stops them. The leader of The Fellowship flees through a portal to the Serpent Isles the Avatar follows him and again encounters the guardian and his friend Dupre sacrifices himself to save him. In the end the Guardian captures the Avatar.
In Ultima VIII The guardian drops the Avatar onto the world of Pagan. This world is adrift in the universe without a sun. The guardian has set up a religion on this world that worships titans. The titans are Generals of the Guardian and The Avatar defeats them all ultimately taking their power and becoming the Titan of ether. He opposes the religion and finally finds his way back to earth.
In the Final installment Ultima IX Ascension the Avatar arrives on Britannia to find his 8 virtues corrupted and the people none the wiser. He goes around to the 8 shrines of virtue cleansing them and learns that he is connected to the Guardian. It turns out that the Guardian is the evil that was cast out of The Avatar upon his completion of his quest of Avatarhood. Eventually The Avatar challenges the Guardian one last time. Using the 8 sigils of virtue he creates a barrier around himself and the guardian. and finally casts armageddon inside the barrier. In doing so he kills both himself and the guardian at the same time which was the only true way of killing the guardian and saves Britannia from the Armageddon spell.
and now this is where my RP comes in. You will be playing as a new band of heroes that. Learning from his past mistakes Lord British decides to create a group of 8 people each embodying 1 virtue to protect Britannia from all threats external and internal. You will be that team.
So what do you guys think?
