AFTERMATH is a wild horse role play game that involves God's, mares, and stallions. Each stallions objective is to become a God however, not all of them can become a God. There is a limit to three main gods, which are the only gods that can in fact make a horse a God. There is one main God who controls everything, he is Plague. Plague has been around since the creation of Aftermath - thus causing him to know everything about the lands. Plague was in control of Aftermath, he decided who could become a God and who could not - when the main Gods have been chosen they must clear which stallion gets turned into a God. When the three main Gods were chosen, Lumiere - God of earth, life, and death, Eria - Goddess of the water, and Cicatriz - God of the wind, they were to be used by Plague to control each and every horse living among Aftermath. The newly acknowledged Gods were unable to pronounce a stallion a full God, however, they were able to pronounce mares and stallions half-Gods; so this is what they continued to do.
The three main Gods have clashed together, doing Plagues work for him. No horses were allowed to have half-God children and if they did, Lumiere would kill them. They were obsessed with power and Lumiere had the worst of it. Eventually Eria and Lumiere had a child, him being a sire of a completely new God gave him a chance to change. The foal was abandoned by Eria only because he was not Lumiere's but was Plague's. Plague and the foal abandoned Aftermath and Plague named the foal Ghost - he was given the powers that Plague had - he could control anything and everything.
Lumiere eventually found out that the foal was not his, Cicatriz used his own powers to protect Eria, whom he was fond of; however, the two had never spoken until recently. Lumiere and Cicatriz battled, the loser was sentenced to live in the northeast - a land far from the north or the east. Cicatriz then resided in the Northeast - far from Eria and far from Lumiere.
Years later, the three put their differences aside to fight against Plague - the stallion who had put all their troubles upon them. Ghost was by his side, fighting against his dam and against the ones who could help him. Lumiere had the powers to control life or death, and this was when he discovered that he could in fact kill and bring life to anything he set his eyes on. Plague was killed, and Ghost spared for Eria's sake. The three Gods continue to reign Aftermath, Lumiere in the north, Eria in the south, and Cicatriz in the Northeast.
There is talk amongst the mortals that Ghost is to return, all half-Gods have been gathered in Forbidden to be assembled in case this does happen. Each month the Gods hold an assembly and the three get ready for battle, however, no one knows if he will even show up. The mortals begin to wonder why they aren't all half-gods, they wonder what makes the half-Gods so much better than them, they begin to plot against the Gods. The Gods will do nothing but protect their residents and they're being treated badly by plot against them.
Will the mortals come to their senses, or will the Gods have to defend theirselves by killing off the mortals and being portrayed just as Plague was? Could Ghost play as a help to the mortals, or will he too bond with his mother and the other Gods to help the mortals come to their senses?
