For the sake of finding out how different people react to a situation I am posting a similar RP idea on several forums to see what happens. Characters are restricted to fantasy abilities and equipment (at least to start out with, my RP's tend to mutate on occasion)
An ancient civilization at its technological peak comes under attack from an equally powerful enemy. As their enemy closes in around them the people gather around a portal that has existed since the beginning of their civilization. Their leader opened the portal and it admitted them into another dimension.
A crater formed under the portal and the city fell into it, never to be seen again...Until now...
Setting: The characters wake up in the ruins of an ancient city that has fallen into a crater over two-hundred feet deep. There are various technologies that the characters cant make sense of ranging from weapons to computer consoles. The only way out is a portal in a room that was sealed shut when the city collapsed and that seems to have some sort of guardian (one of the enemies of the civilization who built the city who became trapped but cannot use the portal for some reason).
Objective: The characters must survive various monsters who have become trapped in the pit with them. They must also find some way of opening the room with the portal and defeating the creature within. Other things like finding food and water would also be good ideas.
Anyone interested?
-
perhaps, but I got 2 questions.
The crater is so deep that we would be trapped inside the city?
Define fantasy abilities and equipment, like magic or what?
-
Yes the crater is so deep we are trapped inside the city. There are caves leading into the crater but they lead farther under ground.
Magic, swords, magic swords...Fantasy as in non Sci Fi...No guns, kevlar, etc... Not entirely sure how to put it which is why I said "fantasy" in the first place :P But stull along the lines of The Lord of the Rings or Dragonlance sort of stuff.

I'll allow for just about any species. If a flying one though then I'm going to need to figure out a reason they don't just fly out.
@ Macid: Of course. (I somehow forgot this detail...) I'll just go with what I normally require I guess:

what about your character blackwolf?
-
what about your character blackwolf?
I was waiting for someone to ask :P I have a character in mind who I need to modify a bit. I'll be editing this post with it some time soon (next hour or so)
When I get bored I write character bio's...
Name: Kiff Do'kose (spirit name) Jorun (wolf hosts name)
Gender: Male
Age Range: 2000+ years
Race: Spirit Wolf (a light spirit that takes control of the body of a willing host-in this case wolf-before it dies and the hosts spirit moves on. The hosts body is usually controlled for no more then a few decades before the spirit leaves it, normally after completing the task it took mortal form for in the first place. During that time the Spirit regenerates the body continuously to keep it alive and as undamaged as possible.
After the Spirits mission is complete the body is brought to the original host spirit who either continues on its path to it after life or it requests to be reincarnated.
In Kiff's case, he was bound to the wolf's body by a Demon. Because of this he will never be able to leave it.)
Appearance: In his normal form, Kiff appears to be a large grey wolf ( 5' 6" long and 3' tall at the shoulders and 80 pounds) with a soft, thick, white coat and intelligent blue eyes. But when in spirit form he looks far different.
In spirit form, Kiff nearly doubles in size, his eyes blaze with blue fire. Rune armor covers his shoulders and a glowing blue crystal is fixed into a silver collar he wears around his neck.
Belongings: Kiff has very little. He has his rune armor and collar but other than that he has nothing.
Personality: Kiff is very protective of his friends and will do whatever it takes to keep them out of harms way.
History: Exiled from his pack after losing a challenge to the alpha of his former pack, Jorun; a large grey wolf, lay dying in the snow. Little did he know that his future was being contested in the spirit world.
Kiff Do'kose, a light spirit, was battling a fire demon over possession of the wolf's mind. The demon happened to be Kiff's older brother, Dren Do'kose. They both wished to use the wolf as a way of acting on the mortal plane of existence. Kiff planned to help the mortal forces of light in a battle against the forces of darkness, Dren wanted to help the forces of darkness.
Kiff finally won control of the wolf from his brother and was able to heal it, but Dren caused the fire demons to band together to place a curse on him. The curse would bind him to the wolf till either his death or he turned to darkness. When the other light spirits realized his predicament, they placed a powerful warding spell on him that would prevent the fire demons from attacking him unless they to took mortal form. There was a catch though. Kiff would be cut off almost entirely from the spirit realm. The other light spirits could do nothing for him on the mortal plane.
Bound in mortal form, Kiff was weaker than in his non corporeal state but still powerful. Several darkness and fire demons tried to kill his physical body, but because of the spirits intervention they had to become mortal before they could attack him directly. To avoid making themselves mortal and therefor vulnerable, the demons created a race of deadly fiend warriors known as the Doom Wardens and unleashed them on the world to hunt Kiff. Though they were less powerful than the demons who created them, the Doom Wardens were more than a match for the spirit trapped in wolf form and nearly killed him when he first encountered one them and escaped death only thanks to a group of skilled adventurers who were passing at the time and were able to drive it off.
It was still early on in his exile from the spirit realm. Kiff did his best to interact with the various mortals he met but was limited to communicating through mental images which were not always understood. The adventurers who rescued him from the Doom Warden brought him to a nearby village where he stayed while he recovered from his wounds.
Now Kiff is a Rune Paladin (Rune Warrior crossed with Paladin) who does his best to protect those who need it.
Personal: Kiff has few friends but he choses them carefully. His only family is Dren who is his sworn enemy.
Racial traits: In normal wolf form, Kiff has the ability of a healthy grey wolf. In spirit form he is far stronger than any normal wolf and can access his magic.
Skills, spells and abilities: Kiff has the powers of a high level light mage. He can cast some rather difficult spells and use strong light based attacks and defenses but only for a short time (a couple minutes at most) before requiring rest, he can use weaker spells for longer periods without rest.
He is a capable melee fighter but is limited by his form and so normally prefers to use his magic only. When he does lay aside his magic in a fight he tries to dodge past his opponents attacks and grab their neck or limbs if possible so he can drag them down.
He can also switch between wolf and spirit form at will.
His armor is generated by the collar he wears and can be made to cover his entire body but he is unable to dodge as easily and his armor does not provide .
If you reached the bottom of this character sheet without stopping then you win a free bottle of eye drops to rehydrate your eyes.
-
I modifyed mine a bit. Bipedal, yes, and added in that after helping a wizard he was taught a minor fireball spell. Let me know if theres anything else I need to add/change.
-
@ Emrelda: *points at Character bio* does that make up for not having it posted before other bios were posted?
@ Macid: It looks fine to me.

History: as a young boy serpington was captured and turned into a loyal slave under the slave name durako. he learnt many things and even was able to learn the written language of his masters fully rather than just part of the spoken language like the slaves are normally taught. but his happy enslavement was cut short by his masters slaughter. he escaped and now lives out his life with a vow of silence till he finds a new master to fill his void.

@ serpington: Looks fine to me.

when can we post on the serious RP
-
I"ll put the IC up tomorrow.
-
cool, this sounds like it should get interesting just with the different types of people that we have here.
-
Post is up (first posts always give me trouble).
As way of intro I recommend having your characters appear at various locations around the crater and then making their way to the spire (unless you want to go to another landmark for some reason)
Oh...I just realized we're waiting on me at this point :P I'll try to get a post up sometime tonight (Have work to do first)
Posted later than I planned but it's up. I wanted to keep his ability to generate images using light secret for longer (I figured it would be useful later if it was unknown to others oh well) but if I had then I wouldn't know what to post here other than perhaps "and then Kiff was eaten, the end" which would have been bunnying anyway. My imagination is mostly turned off tonight I guess. (I must need root beer! *leaves to find*)
-
We gonna have posting order or free post?
-
Only when in contact with other characters. (that goes without saying I guess) A posting order could be established if you want.

Hope it's not too late to join

-
Its not to late. I have one question about the bio:
Where did he get the DJ headphones and the mp3?
I nearly laughed when I read "Not Blackwolf" but my dad is in the room and he would have asked what I was laughing at and...well...the whole thing about me being a furry is NOT public knowledge :P*forces train of thought back on topic* So if you can fix this small plot hole then I see no reason to not accept you.
-
He doesn't know how he got it, he only know he had it with him the entire time. (If not good enough, I can always take it off)
-
I would remove it if I were you. I cant think of many possible explanations that would make sense and the ones I can think of aren't very good (to say the least).
Post is up. A short one but it will have to do.
-
Okie dokie smokie
-
@ Ho'ne Diheart: There is still a reference to the headphones in your bio. After you remove it you may start posting.
@ serpington: I take it your character has a good sense of smell huh? You should work on your grammar a bit more when posting though. I'll try to post later today.
-

so wait
it's a fantasy rp with no sci fi
but there's computer consoles......
i want to join, but is it REALLY fantasy, or are you pulling my leg
-
For the sake of finding out how different people react to a situation I am posting a similar RP idea on several forums to see what happens. Characters are restricted to fantasy abilities and equipment (at least to start out with, my RP's tend to mutate on occasion)
It is fantasy but there is a small chance that it could mutate into partial Sci Fi towards the end because I haven't figured out any other way to kill the...Thing, in the central chamber.
I'm not pulling your leg. As far as our characters are concerned its all some form of magic.
-
mreh, i'd rather just get a pulse rifle and gun down some soulless automaton guardians, but i guess I could make due with a simple sword for now and or crossbow
but I will get that pulse rifle later. That isn't a request.

Name: Nimble
Gender: Male
Age Range: 25
Race: Human
Appearance: Medium height human male with green eyes, hair is concealed but has black tufts coming from beneath his hood.
Belongings:(http://images.mmosite.com/warhammer/images/races/swr_04.jpg) (replace the bow with a crossbow)
Personality: fatalistic, cynical, tends to think of the now and ignores idealism.
History: Nimble was a ranger for the Kingdom of Naldera, working within the Nalderan homelands to supress banditry and keep merchants safe, and in war, act as a mobile skirmisher troupe. Nimble got his nickname for being particularly agile when chasing down bandits and on the field, his accuracy was typically the same as the other ranger. After a particularly gruesome fight in which he suffered a nasty cut to the stomach, he was given some medicine while he was unconscious. Now he's stuck in an ancient city covered in sand with still working guardians. All in all amounting to your typical day as a Ranger.
Personal: He has some family in the Nalderan highland, working as advisers to the royalty and nobility, in military affairs or otherwise.
Racial traits: whatever the human's racial traits are.
Skills, spells and abilities: Magic is for those who cannot fight like real men, or so Nimble has been told by many arrogant warriors. But his abilities include his great agility and heightened state of awareness of expecting the unexpected all the time. Plus he's very handy with a crossbow and can use a sword if it comes to blows.
ill fill in ze rest later when i remember it
-
Spells are more of a way someone can play to win instead of to be fair :P Anyway, I look forward to the rest of it. Keep in mind that skills include things like your characters ability to shoot and any other non magic abilities. Spells are only if the character is a mage of some type. I'll stop stating the obvious now though and go post in the IC thread instead.
-
@ serpington: I take it your character has a good sense of smell huh? You should work on your grammar a bit more when posting though.
naturally, his kind can track scents by tasting the air, i would go into full detail (real reptiles can do this, well ones with a forked tongue can) but I'm sure it's of little concern. as for the grammar, sorry about that I'll work on it.
-
yo guy i updated my character sheet with the last of the stuffs.
-

Fighting/making our way to the spire. It seems the peace talks have started and that I need to post. I'll try to do that some time today.
-

If it's not too late.
Name: Aarek
Gender: Male
Age Range: 20
Race: Anthro-tiger
Appearance: Average height, swift, classic spell-caster appearance but with white runes on his arms that change color depending on the spell.
Belongings: Wooden staff with green runes carved around it.
Personality: Logistic and calculating.
History: Aarek was a field mage sent to research wild natural magic, an unstable sporadic and unpredictable type of magic that is prone to destroy anything that it comes in contact with. While searching he came across the rim of a crater, the rim being the source of much natural magic. As Aarek was experimenting with some earth magic, which was levitating and rotating large boulders on the rim. The magic suddenly overrode his wards and threw him over the rim and into the air, the shock of the ancient magic preventing him from casting a spell until he was already inside the pit, he only managed to slow his fall with a spell before he hit the ground with enough force to knock him unconscious.
Personal: none
Racial traits: Good at climbing objects and able to silently stalk.
Skills, spells and abilities: A field mage so mostly trained in survival and misc. spells but specializes more in earth magic than others.
-
@ Ukko: You're in.
@ Anyone who my be waiting on me to post: Sorry about my absence. I needed a short break from RPing this week and plan to post in all the RP's I'm in on Christmas. I apologize for the inconvenience.
-
Sorry for not posting when I said I would. I seem to have gotten sick and the cold I came down with stole my health and my creativity. I'm writing a post now and it WILL be up in the next few minutes even if I have to cut off my right hand to do it (I don't see how that would help but I'm sure I would think of something)
-
Is there a posting order? just wanted to make sure.
