Here it is, the long awaited MOBA RP I promised from before. I'm still working some things out but I'll post what I have so far. Just a warning. Everything here is open to change. I'm not taking player cs yet but I will take champions and suggestions.
Edit: Ok the game is now open for submissions. Everyone is free to submit ONE Player character and a max of six Champions (2 DPS, 2 Tanks, 2 Support). We'll get started once we have at least 4 players and a good roster (About 15-20) Champions. I've also set up a discord.

Gather ye warriors who seek the Stones of the Stars. Wonderful treasures that are said to grant the wishes of any who find them. Word of their power has spread throughout the Known Kingdoms. All seeking to claim the stones have gathered under the banner of a Grand Master to retrieve the prize.”
Champions of Lustaria popped onto the scene Five years. Created by Digital Desire, it went from a cult hit to massive success almost overnight. In this game, six players form teams of three and control their champion with the latest in fully interactive VR Technology. Together they face off in various game modes complete an objective. These range from destroying the enemy’s base to capturing the capturing the enemy’s banner to Defeating/Defending a Siege Boss.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Avalon
Often referred to as the Shining Castle On the Hill, Avalon had long been ruled by the Adonis Royal family. The kingdom is home to plentiful lakes and lush farm lands. While the land may seem peaceful, the Humans of Avalon are deeply distrustful of outsiders. Much of the land they own was gained by subjecting or exiling the native Beastlings. The Castle of Avalon itself is home to many a schemer trying to claim power.
Beast Lands (Faunalund)
Forced off their native land, the Beastlings claimed a long, disjointed section of land south of Avalon. The treacherous mountains and thick forests made it difficult for humans to enter but proves the perfect home for the Beastlings. Despite living separately, all those who live in Faunalund abide by the laws set by the Council of Fangs
The Eastern Isles
Travel to the Howling Sea and you’ll come to a land shrouded by a mysterious fog. The Eastern Isles have long fascinated outsiders for their unique aesthetics and customs. Currently the Isles are embroiled in the Sengoku Jidai or Age of Warring States as various factions attempt to unite the multiple isles under one banner.
Republic of Morytha
Once a simple collection of mining cities, the Republic of Morytha underwent a technological revolution with the discovery of ancient technology. This and the discovery of the mineral Scarletite have turned Morytha into a Kingdom on the cutting edge of scientific discovery. While they possess the technology, the people of Morytha prefer to look inward and focus on themselves.
Plains of Hela
The Plains of Htela are said to be cursed by the Goddess of Darkness herself. Here demons and undead roam the land seeking prey to satisfy their dark intentions. The chaotic landscape prevents any real government from forming. Some areas though are rules by a Demon Lord. A powerful creature said to be blessed by Hela’s power who subjugates humans and lesser demons.
The COL Competitive SceneThe COL scene is littered with a litany of teams vying for the top spot. With the high viewer counts and attendance Lustaria events pull, there is a lot of money on the line. Here are two such teams of the many that make up the Lustaria Landscape. (Players choose a team to compete with.)
Team Crimson DawnCrimson Dawn are considered a monolith in the eSports arena. Well sponsored and widely known. They field players in a variety of games from the popular fighting game “Super Alley Fighter V” to the competitive shooter “Counter Assault”. But their most successful players have to be their Champions of Lustaria team who have won the back to back COLcon championships.
However with success breeds … issues. Reports of physical and sexual abuse, shady deals with tournament organizers for favourable treatment, backroom deals . Questionable advertising and marketing campaigns and numerous displays of poor sportsmanship has help to foster a bad boy Image. But as long as they keep winning, these bad boys seem to be sticking around.
Team Digital ChaosFormed by a few players that met online, Team Digital Chaos are a group of rising stars. While not well known at some of the bigger events, they’ve dominated most of the major online ones. Their latest victory was during the Avalon Online Invitational, hosted by Digital Desire themselves. They have a massive following online as they tend to hold live streams and hangouts almost daily. DC Acolytes, as the hardcore fans call themselves can be a bit obsessive and a bit … possessive but they only want what’s best for the team.
With their latest successes, Team Digital Chaos are looking to attend their first major tournament as a team, but in the process they’ve been approached be a few conspicuous sponsors. How will TDC navigate the world of high level Lustaria Play?
