Hello! sorry for bugging but I would like to ask if people could still join the event even if its in the second stage? if not I fully understand and hope you have fun with the event! (from @ask-fenris-mc mod)

[ Breaking Hiatus for a moment to answer this, the event is currently on hold due to RL issues, but anyone is able to jump in at any time. There's no hard stop to people being able to join in.

[brimstone-and-cinnabar]

[ Hey folks, Mun here. Just wanted to make an update post really quickly.

I'm not going to go into any nitty gritty details, but I've been dealing with a large amount of just general IRL things and the like on my end and have had very little time to dedicate to the Blog as of right now. Especially one as art heavy as an ask blog.

I want to thank all of you for your patience, and I apologize for having to do this at this time but I'll be needing to put the blog and event on a Hiatus until I can get some extra time AND energy to see it through to it's completion.

I do want to thank everyone who has shown interest in the blog as of lately, and again I apologize for the silence in general.

Hopefully I can get back to it sooner rather than later, but I can make no guarantees at this time.

Thank you for understanding.

PS: Feel free to use any lore created here at your leisure, ect~ ]

[brimstone-and-cinnabar]

Would you like to be tagged in event update posts? (E.g wither sickened mobs)

[ Mun Here, sorry for the silence I've been very busy IRL.

But yes, please make sure to tag me. all responses to the event can/will increase the bar for the stage! ]

A strange thing, it was. To be having some sort of one-sided conversation as the command block nestled deep within him buzzed and hissed with the strange voice. It'd never done such a thing before, thus he could easily conclude that this.. interference was coming from this strange creature. What ever.. 'it was' that possessed the corpse of the player.

Most would be afraid, but Abraxis?

He'd become intrigued.

Dangerous, perhaps. But Abraxis didn't get to where he sat by fearing the unknown. Rather learning from it, studying it. He wasn't some mindless mob. He had a terrifying intelligence. Borne from his growing power and constant hunger for the life energy of powerful entities.

Khar on the other hand was, confused. Looking on in bewilderment between the what he thought was a corpse, and his King. Back and forth, gilded axe in hand as if waiting for a signal to strike it down. But it didn't come. Abraxis seemed... entertained.

Relaxed in his throne, elbow propped up while his chin rest on the knocked of his hand. The smallest, amused smile over the Ur-Ghasts' face.

"It's ruled by me." Abraxis said simply, watching the.. creature approach him. Those eyes though, glowing dots in darkness.

How curious. He wondered what it truly was. Some sort of spirit? One that hijacked bodies to get around? Perhaps. But he did not move from his throne even as the command block in his possession buzzed with the warnings and errors. It had plenty of other warning codes being spat out, but those stemmed from the current havoc being unleashed on the overworld.

He didn't care about the sheer amount of entities being killed at the moment, or the chunk errors it was causing.

This... 'entity' had his undivided attention. What honor.

"I am God-King Abraxis."

Hi there, my Question:

I have OC similar to one of the characters of (the Minecraft Rainimator series)

They are like Azura

My OC Has technological advancements and is also a skilled fighter and fights with a wingsuit of her design.

You said in your Rules no magic used But you didn't say anything about a scientist

I want my OC facing your Wither Storm.

If that's okay for you of course

[ Mod Here:

I have nothing in my rules saying 'No Magic'. Just 'No Godmodding'. This means no one-shotting the storm/playing god.. ect. Basically simple RP etiquette. Magic is fine and dandy to use~

Further more, in the current Stage I specifically say..

So.. Ye~ ]

[brimstone-and-cinnabar]

A little question for the end storm (i had to build courage to ask) but if the charecter posses some kind of broken (broken like "it dosen't work properly like it should so like example: "if they don't focouse they can't acutley look like the wither storm properly or if they copy powers they are like HALF as powerful as the wither storm") could they still try to transform into something thats the size of the wither storm or something ? or... would that be a bit too op ? (its allweys good to ask first, so i just wanted to be sure)

[ Mod Here:

First of all.. Please don't be scared to approach me and chat with me. I swear I'm not as scary as you think I am. The Mun behind Mr. Angry Candy Cane Claws is a heckin' anxious marshmellow. XD

Second: While I'm not entirely 'sure' what such an ability could do, I imagine if it's a sense of mimicry.. like.. A ditto? I don't see why not, though it certainly won't have the same power as Abraxis has modified it in some way ( That will be revealed at the end of the current Stage. :o ). In the rules the only big crux of the matter is 'No Godmodding'. That means no one shotting the Storm/No ignoring it's mechanics, ect.

If anything, I specifically state...

So if you wanna have a Kaiju battle with the Storm in it's current state? I won't stop you! (Sounds kinda cool if you ask me..) ]

I’m am working on stage two but I know it’s going to be late. I just wanted to let you know, sorry for any inconvenience. It won’t be too long though

(U don’t have to answer, it’s just to tell you)

[ Take your time, Stage 2 will be lasting a bit, just simply updates during the stage to show the Storms progress. There is no rush!

This goes for everyone, don't rush, the event will last for a few good weeks. (I'm just making a little update image to include those who have responded so far~)

After all, the bar isn't even 1/3rd of the way full!

"That's enough of that...."

Welcome to Stage 2 - [SURVIVAL] (Read more below..)

*First off I would like to thank the community for the incredible responses to the first stage of the event! It's a much larger turn out than I expected! Below are all of the responders! (If I missed you please let me know!)

@ender-punk | @somabrin | @dozen-arrows-in-my-chest | @wondon23-the-drowned-kid | @ask-radin-the-enderman | @orchid-151 | @askethandothers | @invisible-shadow | @the-enchanted-mistakes Opting into the event is my way of getting a headcount and character tally for any responses I make for the event, and who to include in event comics moving forward. So again, THANK YOU! <3

Now, the real horrors begin!

-------------------------------------

Your task now, is to SURVIVE while formulating potential plans to take down the Wither Storm!

[ The Wither Storm has now begun to roam the Overworld, reaching this stage it has acquired three sets of tractor beams and an ever increasing insatiable apatite for blocks AND mobs. Though slow, it hones in on anything living, and seeks to snuff it out as quickly as possible, or assimilate it into it's growing form.

Corrupted blocks cover the command block that powers the beast as it continues it's rampage, the destruction growing even more extreme as time moves on. In regions it has passed from, the ground is stripped bare, even to Bedrock.

Already, casualty reigns in one desert town.. Mobs, people, the very ground itself is coated in ruin... It's ruler.. gone.]

Responses will add to the meter above and progress the Storm through various stages. Hints will occasionally be dropped over the Stage should participants find themselves stuck on what to do.

Responses can range from...

Fighting back against the Storm.

Avoiding the Storm.

Finding ways to distract the Storm from areas.

Ect.

Feel free to let your imagination run wild, and be sure to tag @brimstone-and-cinnabar so I can also respond in kind to what your character(s) decide to do!

There is NO WRONG ANSWER!

This stage will last until the bar is filled or 3 weeks have elapsed! If you have questions, send in via asks or DMs.

Thank you, and-

GOOD LUCK!

The humming sound was not lost on those in the throne room. Khar almost looked more confused with the possible location of the noise, while Abraxis?

He was almost.. staring off into nothing. The command block he stored within himself hummed, buzzed, deciphering the randome jumble of bits and texts. Warning showing up as he focused on it, as if it was freaking out over.. something.

Something coming?

That seemed to be the case. Especially as the body jerked upwards in a fit of panic and horror. Though with a voice ill-befitting that of the previous occupant.

Khar immediately reached for his axe, ready to cut down the cadaver, only to stop as Abraxis raised a hand. A command, a signal to stop. to wait, to watch.

While he read the signals vibrating off the command block in his possession as warnings.. his intrigue instead was piqued. Rarely had such errors appeared within his purview. Usually only blipping if a Herobrine or similar entity was in the vicinity, or purposely sending out a ping to track his location.

A location he didn't care to hide.

then it spoke, in more audible terms.

"You are in the Nether, specifically within the throne room of the citadel, belonging to the Gilded Twilight Empire." Abraxis spoke, his voice trembling the ground below him. Eyes now hard focused on the being.. the 'corpse'. such a sight might unnerve most, Khar even looking a touch weary as he kept his gilded axe in hand.

"Then you have my commander to thank for the condition of the body. His work is always clean and quick." Intrigue was certainly being put to the forefront. while normally he'd cut down any perceived threat in an instance if he caught wind of it, so far.. at best.. this seemed like some sort of oddity. An oddity that had little on hand as the previous owner of the cadaver had their equipment stripped from them.

"Who are you." A simple, but straight forward demand.

As the massive ur-ghast gave the command, the poor human suddenly twitched as his hand suddenly rose up as if it were trying to reach the ceiling. A broken moan escaped his lips like a last death rattle, while his eyes looked up in terror, filled with a mixture of horror and panic. Their blood was slowly soaking the red bricks of the floor as it poured more and more from their sliced throat. On second, his lips were moving like the poor player tried to speak something, but with the gesture of their hand, it was like they were talking to someone else… before his hand simply fell over his chest and his eyes stopped moving.

There was a brief pause before Khar would do anything with the body, but as soon as he started to make steps closer to it… a slowly increasing sound started to fill their ears, like constant rusting. A white noise that felt like a big wave was coming here. Yet, the sound wasn't coming from any specific directions—it was like inside everyone's head who was standing in that throne room! And it kept increasing with each passing second, creating an uneasy feeling for everyone, as Abraxis somehow could hear something else in that white noise. The voice that was spoken by the block inside of him after each command or when there was quiet enough that he could hear his thoughts. But this time, it wasn't shutting down; it was babbling without stopping, like it was in a state of panic.

And at one point, the noise suddenly got lower, like it was suddenly cut, leaving only a loud tinnius ringing in the ears after that. And then suddenly, the body of the poor bastard who was lying on the floor suddenly sprung up to the straight sitting position with a loud gasp. The cut on their neck wasn't bleeding, yet it wasn't closing either, as the corpse was taking breaths like it was just dove out of the water.

"…dammit, that was a little rough." The cadaver spoke with quite a different tone than when it was begging for the lives of their pets or for their own lives. It was somehow more confident and amusing with some kind of static behind it, as if it were just simulated. And as the cadaver started to turn their head to look at their surroundings, everyone in the throne room would quickly notice the mismatched different color of the eyes—one was yellow, the other was white-gray, like a brine one.

"Huh… doesn't feel like world 0. Too comfortable for me." The body kept talking as it switched its gaze over their hands, observing their fingers with a childlike interest, yet somehow this innocent behavior was quite off-putting as they were basically sitting in a puddle of their own blood. "Ooo, it's been a while since I've got a freshie. Though a little bruised up... But hey, at least no iron taste in my mouth this time."

[brimstone-and-cinnabar]

did y’all really have to screw us all over with a wither storm up in the overworld?!

"Though judging from what I've seen so far.. you're all quite high in ineptitude.. I will enjoy seeing the Storm eat your world to the very Bedrock foundations!"

[Admin] : Warning, the [Wither Storm] has progressed past Stage 0 into Stage 1 and has begun roaming.

[ Closed/plotted Text RP with @the-broken-tooth-rp ]

The Citadel, a massive, terrifying castle-like structure poised upon a trifecta of floating islands that traveled slowly through the Nether's ever expanding reaches. It was here that the throne sat, and it was here that the God-King, the Ruler of the Gilded Twilight Empire sat.

A terrifying, monstrous beast from another dimension, another realm that was bathed in twilight itself. Abraxis, he was known as. A tyrant who had systematically been conquering every village, ruined fortress and bastion the Nether had to offer. Picking up the crumbling scraps of civilization that had long since been left in ruin...

However, where many bent a knee and offered servitude, there were some who were brought before Abraxis.. kicking, screaming and hollering profanities. Mainly humans who had been unlucky enough to have been caught by one of the God-King's many patrols, the many squadrons who had received the Ur-Ghasts' blessing.

Overwhelmed, unprepared for the mobs in which they faced. They were captured, and when they refused to bend.. they were killed. In a myriad of ways, naturally. So much so it had become a rousing spectacle for the upper echelons of Abraxis' Court.

Into the massive, long and wide spread halls of the Citadel. Where chains clacked, gears turned, and lava flowed freely in tubes, fountains and fixtures. A player had been caught, his pet wolves slaughtered right before he was cut down. Their soul sent back to the Overworld.

The Piglin Brute Commander, Khar had done the deed, a clean sweep with his gilded netherite axe and resounding strength. Another sent back to the other side, into the waiting arms of the brewing Storm that the Twins had concocted.

"Pathetic, really.." Abraxis' low, rumbling voice would cause most to tremble. Like a rolling earthquake spawned from a volcano. A fitting tone to the behemoth of a mob.

"All bark, but no bite when against something they can't exploit." He motioned with one claw toward the body. He was almost.. bored. Seeing so many fall before him, and so few put up even a shred of resistance. Mere humans were nothing compared to his typical prey.

Their souls, hardly worth eating.

"Have it taken to the incinerator with the rest. I rather not feed the Hoglin's such filth." Even he had his standards.

[brimstone-and-cinnabar]

for the event, can I make the summoning of the wither storm a prophecy my character has heard of

[ Mod Here:

You bet, go nuts! As I've stated, work with what makes sense for your character/s ]

[brimstone-and-cinnabar]

What about those that don't work on "game logic"? An achievement announcement is hard to justify. Can they react to the effects the witherstorm has on the world? Earrhquake, purple stuff in sky or something instead? Something?

[ Mod here:

That's perfectly fine as well. React in a way that makes sense for your character!

Earthquakes, a resounding cry (The sound it made in the comic), which ever you like. Feel free to get creative! ]

Project: Rising Storm has Begun

(Read More For Event Information)

Welcome MC Ask Blog community to my very first fandom wide event. Something I always wanted to host ever since I ran ol' Hades/Nova back a year or so ago.

The Gilded Twilight Empire has unleashed the horiffic monstrosity known as The Wither Storm into the Overworld, and have also shut down both Nether and End Travel outside of allied territories!

For what gain or what purpose? Who's to say, but the message is clear.

War.

Event Details

Edited to Add: If your characters don't function on the 'Game Logic' feel free to have them react to either the Pulse-Wave created from the beast, the Earthquakes it will cause or the world-shattering cry it let out in the comic here!

Your characters can react in how ever way you deem fit, it is up to YOU if the character(s) know exactly what this means or not.

The Opt-In phase is to get a general headcount for the event so I can plan the following stages accordingly and will last for 1-2 weeks or until I receive at LEAST 3 reactions. (Please tag @brimstone-and-cinnabar in your reactions!)
