Excerpt from the Chronicles of Trian: It seems so long since the demons were pushed back, and the evil one was exiled for his crimes. We have rebuilt the land, and we have cultivated and prospered. Our world is going back to the way it once was. And yet... I have felt a distinct unease... a feeling that we were not yet done.And as of last night, my fears were confirmed.As I lay sleeping in my chamber, a spirit came to me, and told me that the evil one would once again rise to power. It would be many years after our time, and he, along with his dreadful Generals, will have grown in power immensely, and he will manage to gain control from right under our noses.However, at that time, a small group of young men and women would come together through tragic circumstances. These souls would have extraordinary power... at least, more extraordinary than normal. If they stood together, then the world, over time, would finally be preserved, and the evil one driven out. As I write these words, I can hear the church bells tolling nine.
Nine bongs... has never been a good sign.
Okay, so this is a slightly futuristic RP. It's actually kinda like ThunderCats, since it shall also combine swords and science. Anyway, you can join as one of the characters foretold in the prophecy. Choose any age you wish, but I'd prefer that you keep it under 25. Guns do exist in this world, but you may not use them to kill... most of the time, he he he. However, you cannot have one of your character's main weapons be a gun. However, primitive projectile weapons are allowed, as are hand-to-hand weapons. and throwing knives. NO TASERS. Also, please don't god-mod or powerplay, and no killing off other player's characters without their permission, and...
Well, you know, the normal stuff.
Also, really important... Be creative! Creativity can get you far.
I'll start as soon as we get enough players. Here's the sheet:
Name:

Species and Appearance:

Background:
Other:
Power: Leave this one blank for now. I will decide your power for you. If you have a preference, please PM me about it and I'll see what I can do. Please also post your gender.
Here's my character sheet:
Name: Viriathus, a.k.a. "Vi"

By the way, this came out of my mind. I am not ripping off a series.
-
Okay, so I'm going to see if I can get anyone to join now... moderators, please don't lock this.
-
What would the powers be in the end? Elemental or something else? And where would this be set? City, rural, mix...?
-
Elemental and technical, and yes, a mix of sorts.
But NO GOD-MODDED POWERS. No "Insta-kill lightning rays" or crap like that.

-
Good. You're in. Any specific power you'd like?
-
Not death, not earth. Anything else is fine.
Are you going to answer my question? /:j

-
Done. You have power over shadows.
-
Uh, Cif? You may want to start. It may draw some attention.x
-
Hmm... okay. But after Memorial Day weekend. I'm busy in the next few days... Tuesday, at the soonest.

Oops... forgot to start it...
Well, I can start it for real soon. But hopefully some more people will join.
-
They may take interest once they see how it heads.
-
Right... good point. But I'm kinda busy the next few weeks, final exams, but we'll pick up soon enough.

Gonna give this a try, hope I get in ^_^
Name: Adrik Aleksandrov (goes by Alex)
Age: 17
Species and Appearance: Timber wolf, gray fur all around. Very skinny, with a light build. Short at 5'6"
Clothing: Black hoodie with the sleeves cut off, with a gray scarf I always wear to cover my face, with skinny black sweat pants. (not skin tight) and a small backpack.
Weapons: Small dagger, and throwing knives hidden in my belt around my pants, along with a small book, which contains my fathers science notes.
Background: Things went all wrong back when Adrik lost his parents at a very young age. Losing his mother to sickness, and his father in a science accident. He isn't sure what fully pushed him, but once he was put into a foster home, the next thing you know, he up and ran away. Back to what was once his home. The things he decided to grab was a backpack, some food, and while he still had time before the police had arrived at his home, suspecting that he might have ran back to his old home. He grabbed a single small notebook from his fathers study on his desk, which contained scientific notes. Even though he still doesn't understand what the notes say, he still does his best to decipher them, and figure out what might of really happen to his father at those laboratories, and what he was researching. Even though he has this book, he still never went back to the foster home, or any home. He stays on the streets and does what he can to survive; steal, mug, and do dirty work for anyone in the city that needs a job done. In his spare time he spends every second looking over the notebook, and perfecting his rather, unorthodox fighting style on the outskirts of town. Still waiting for the day, when all his questions, will finally be answered.
Other: Not too stubborn, especially when money is involved. Doesn't like when people try to get too close.
Power: No preference :P suprise me :)
-
You are in with power over fire.

-
All acceptable. You're in. ^w^
-
Hmm. Wondering how I can get Aolith back in this one. o.O
-
Simple. Just have him join them for lunch. The reason is up to you.
-
Hehehe. I will post when I get home. :3 I have ideas now
-
You definitely did... nice entrance.
-
only question is, where do we go from here? just a normal conversation then blam...half dead guy falls into the lunchroom...ring the lunch bell?
-
Lol, thanks :3 And I'sa still has a plan X3
-
His rushing in like that could be to warn the school of an attack. Kick start the RP. :) We get to be creative, figure our way out...
-
^Thank you :D
-
i'm glad you have a plan, but if it is story based plan, we would kinda like to hear it, i'm ok with the idea of the "under attack" thing, but why would you come to the school?
sudden transitions are cool and all but it irritated me extremely because you decided to tell anyone that you were changing the plot, not only that but i was right in the middle of a conversation
you don't change plot in major ways without telling people, it screws with character interaction and the "plan" you may have for the plot may void any "plan" anyone had for their character
be considerate enough to warn people next time, if there is a next time
~minirant over~
-
Lol, sorry. I fell out of the rp for a while, because I forgot about it completely. But yes, apologies if I did ruin anyone's plans for their character. If anyone's mad at me, then my bad. Though, that was kinda my plan instead of having him just lay there for a while.
-
you could have just come in and sat at the lunch table y'know
-
Well, I like a dramatical entrance c:
-
bit over the top
-
Eh, sorry. If I get an idea, I have to put it into play, and I really wanted to get back into this rp ^^
-
You know, the dramatic entrance begs the question of why he went to the Cafeteria, what he wanted to acheive, etc. Kiva has a point. We don't know what you have in mind, why, what relation this has on the plot, et cetera. Mind explaining?
Personally, (I'm not religious so this may effect my opinion) if there are people getting thrown/dropped/etc from whatever Heaven or Hell there happens to be, It begs the question of if this has happened before. If so, maybe such an event sparked the people in the roleplay to build a city with no way in or out to protect people from a possibly still raging war. If it hasn't, we haven't given many people reactions. Maybe the characters are only visible to certain people?
It also begs the question of why the police were never called. Strange people from the sky? Not the greatest idea in an enclosed city. It wouldn't matter what the people that fell from the sky said, they'd either be taken away or killed. Human nature says that we must protect ourselves from danger.
If it's the war idea or something similar, maybe the nine tolls were set in place to warn of the past coming back to haunt us.
There's a lot I've been hoping you guys would explain. Could you? I think we need the ideas explained to understand what the do. Otherwise, I can't say I'll be ABLE to respond personally.
-
a- no one has reacted to me because while they see me as what i am, they do not know what i am
b- i have not gotten to the part where i planned to flood the school with cops examining a crater
c- in my mind everyone is just to assume me to be a new kid, who's to say it isn't a really really big town and i moved from another part of it, there were not really too many around when i appeared...i think i almost hit a teacher, but he ran away, for all he knows it was a meteor
as for language...that is a secret i will save for a little later
-
Uh, Kiva? That answer you put for A just makes it MORE unlikely that they've yet to react. There's a reason non-reactions to weird stuff is a humor trope: It, quite simply, DOESN'T HAPPEN. If I came up to you with a second head, tail, alligator body, and feet made of plates, you'd ask what the hell is up with me, right? It's no different here. Not knowing what something is or why it's there creates fear and curiosity. Fear means you'll tell someone about said thing. Curiosity means they would ask about it.
Trainwreck Syndrome is the PRIME example of this.
-
Just because I do something different from the rest doesn't mean it should stop anyone from posting in the rp. Sure, it may have been sudden, I get that. But ya don't gotta get on my case about it. Why can't we enjoy a twist in the rp every once in a while? If I have an idea, I will post it here from now on and ruin the surprise. So please, let's just get on with it.

nonononono
you don't understand, they see me, but people have so pretty questionable appearances here anyway, when weird is the norm, it blends in, when i said they don't know what i am, i mean they don't know what i REALLY am aka, they think i'm from earth, not a forsaken child of the unholy and holy realms
anyway have you SEEN how long it takes cops to respond in some areas?

Hikari, you dropped a "Twist' on us without context, warning, or relation to existing events. Your character rushes into the school cafeteria, collapses, and you expect everyone to drop into place without ANY idea of what's going ON. Next two posts? Forgotten entirely, save for Kiva bringing it back up. There is no follow up, no explanation. I don't want to overstep my boundaries into modding, but this is a MASSIVE problem in the RP. In Kiss of Death, I had dropped things in, but explained what happened and why, particularly when asked. This... not so much.
Considering Kiva's character is supposed to be a fallen angel, I have to accept that things get weird. It's part of a roleplay to have fun with senarios and aspects. But you have to tell us WHY and HOW. You act like the "Twist" would be ruined by having people know what's going on. Plot TWISTS are twists because there is surprise, yes, but to the characters, not the RPers themselves, not on this large a scale. As another point, Twists are when something has been built up carefully and one would expect it to go one way, but it suddenly shows itself as something else. Plot POINTS define a story and are massive events, like being attacked. Darth Vader as Luke's father was a twist because it played with our beliefs of what was true and false. Luke going to Yoda was a point because we were being introduced to a turning point in the story.
And to Kiva, eh, I'll give you the cop thing, but it's still been several hours. In an area with a LOT of kids. Why would it take that quite so long?
-
Please try to get along. Drama is not something for the RP OOC boards and should be moved to PMs if it absolutely has to take place. I have been watching this develop and reading the RP as it is written. Take in mind that plasma (or "lightning plasma" as Hikari called it meaning the 4th state of matter when it becomes supercharged and is in equilibrium with its ions) burns at several thousand degrees celcius and would actually kill people in the room just on heat. Also note that radically changing things in RP without explanation and proper post lengths (three to four lines of text as described here (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=14759.0)) is very hard on your fellow RPers.
Just recently there was an argument over the aforementioned plasma in RP and entirely in OOC. This should not happen and the only reason I didn't moderate it was because I gave the benefit of the doubt to you two and let you handle it. I was going to give you one more post before I moderated it and sent you here. Now that the argument (or at least the argumentative mentality) has spread here, I feel that I have to step in.
I am not moderating this thread where I am handing out percentage points, but I would like the arguing to stop. Also please note that there are several things story-wise that make little sense. I feel, after reading the RP and the OOC and having done so since its creation, that Aldrea's confusion is well founded. Move the conversation to PM if you must but please try to settle this in a calm and well mannered way.
-
-_-
ok, i agree with the no arguing thing, but you have to realize that sometimes too much is too much. We'll try to flesh it out, but that doesn't mean we'll always be able to.
As for the plasma, I've got this. The plasma is not dangerous, and that is final. It was blood, for heaven's sake! That's a type of plasma! He...
Ok, i don't know what just happened, but here's the gist of it. First of all, try to tone things down. Hikari, sitting down at the table would have been fine, but considering that none of the adults notice crap in this thing anyway, the way you did enter will be accepted. As for the plasma thing, I'm just going to say that it was at blood temperature, and thus not dangerous period. Another thing: If any of you have a problem, tell me first before posting it on here, then we can calmly talk things out instead of this happening. And lastly, Otebon, if you have an issue with my rp, please message me first instead of posting on here. It would be easier if the conversation was just between us. Thank you all.
-
And to Kiva, eh, I'll give you the cop thing, but it's still been several hours. In an area with a LOT of kids. Why would it take that quite so long?
they were out getting donuts? 0:)
but in all seriousness, poor city planning, that or we could be in a culture where more is expected of young adults...in africa you are an adult at like 13
or maybe they are lazy and just shoved it under the rug until they HAD to do something

if you would please pm me my mistakes? i know i need to learn from them and sometimes i guess they are not obvious to me
-
*Sighs.* Guys, I'm trying and I just can't get past parts of the RP. I'm gonna have to leave. There's so little description, the plot... Blast, I'm having a hard time taking anything serious at this point. I can't figure out anything past "Angel and Hellhound and Crat and Kangaroo are at a school and the previous, already set out plot has been put aside for... comedy? Something?" Sorry Cif. :/ I liked the idea, I really did.
You can operate Rachel. :) I was going to have her as a spy and reveal it slowly, have her working with the enemy to find the people that might be the designated heroes. Just telling out of the blue seemed very counter productive, so I was going to drop hints and tell about halfway through the plot. Or if someone asked. Whichever came first. :)
-
humph for a couple months i was one of the only two people keeping this thread alive...now i get to watch it die.... what was the origional plan for the plot anyway? i could try steering our hindenburg
-
This was Cif's opening paragraph:
It seems so long since the demons were pushed back, and the evil one was exiled for his crimes. We have rebuilt the land, and we have cultivated and prospered. Our world is going back to the way it once was. And yet... I have felt a distinct unease... a feeling that we were not yet done.And as of last night, my fears were confirmed.As I lay sleeping in my chamber, a spirit came to me, and told me that the evil one would once again rise to power. It would be many years after our time, and he, along with his dreadful Generals, will have grown in power immensely, and he will manage to gain control from right under our noses.However, at that time, a small group of young men and women would come together through tragic circumstances. These souls would have extraordinary power... at least, more extraordinary than normal. If they stood together, then the world, over time, would finally be preserved, and the evil one driven out. As I write these words, I can hear the church bells tolling nine.
Nine bongs... has never been a good sign.
Right now, after well over ten pages, we've yet to mention the "Evil One", but for maybe one time. Being that we've stayed in the school or around it, there's been no real opportunity to introduce to topic past the tolls, and even our characters' powers have been set aside. Maybe we're unaware to the latter, sure. And since the former is a myth, we may not have much faith in the old legends. But there still hasn't been any introduction to anything of the sort that could kickstart the plot.
On top of that, I've yet to see a significant PLOT at all. We've got an angel and a hellhound, and they're friends with no ill effects. I can't personally really start one either, because I don't know anything about the characters themselves outside of a few physical characteristics, and on occasion, a few smaller powers. It one thing to play a sandbox RP, but quite another to market it as an action adventure with a sandbox play out.
I'm not putting you guys down. It's... interesting playing this roleplay with you, and I don't mind a slow start, but this is a bit much. Again, I'm sorry to leave, but I can't get into the story as it's playing out.
-
hold out just a bit more, ok? i'll see what i can do
-
Aldrea, just hold on... I was getting to that, but i had to adapt... Now we can get down to buisness...
And also, please can we not have Rachel be a spy? she's too nice... ;-;
-
*Sighs.* Alright. I'll try. :) Could someone just tell me what the grounds look like? I haven't seen any descriptions.
That's the most fun. ^_^ Kinda like Lucinda. The nice ones are the ones you'd never expect. Plus, she might get torn between sides when it comes down to the wire. ;)
-
Alright... Have her be a reluctant spy... but later on... let her be normal at first, then get it jumped on her. Is that ok?
-
Is it possible that I can join? I was interested in maybe playing a general that eventually joins the hero's side.

Name: Jorm Gandre[/color]
Age: 20[/color]
Occupation: Mercenary/Expert Blacksmith[/color]
Height: 5'10"[/color]
Weight: 175 lbs[/color]
Appearance: Refer to my avatar pic. A friend drew him for me.[/color]
Clothing: Blue sweatpants held up with a white belt, which has purple fur around the rim. A thick, iron manacle attached to a broken chain hangs from the demonic arm. On the other, white bandages have been wrapped around his hand.[/color]
Weapon: The Mourning Blade (It wails in pain when in senses blood or danger. It is also forged from corundum.)[/color]
[/color]Abilities: As he is demonically cursed, he can utilize blood, including his own, as a weapon by causing it to erupt or pierce through enemies. The more blood there is around him, the stronger he gets. His pressure nerves have been dulled and so he cannot feel pain.
[/size][/color][/size]
[/color][/size]Personality: Shifts from reckless to tactiturn in an instant. He also seems to lose his sense of self in battle and laughs hysterically at the sight of blood.
-
Alright... any choice power-wise?
-
Well, as I said under abilities, his attacks focus on blood. He can fashion it into a blade and slice people with it. He can also turn into a demon made of blood, once every five days (week, if that is too overpowered) increasing the strength of his attacks and allowing him to dodge most normal physical attacks as well. (can't dodge powers or area effects)

ok, the demon thing might be interesting.... but tone it down a bit. But no blood explosions please. That's a bit overpowered, since that means he could pretty much kill anyone with one hit...
Well, what does it mean?
-
It means that he could spurt blood at the ground and then cause it to erupt vertically, each droplet like a tiny needle. that would be one of his attacks. However, since there are no blood explosions i'll only use that as an example here.
-
What are his weaknesses though? If he can control his own blood and form it to whatever he wants, there's a very high potential for god modding over other characters because of a limitless, or largely limitless, supply of weapons. Does it make him tired, make him suffer blood loss, make him ill...?
-
He is using his own blood as a weapon, so it is not unlimited and he suffers blood loss like everyone else. In the demon mode, however, it only leads to severe exhaustion and he falls unconscious for half a day after he transforms back. Do you think this would work?
-
Alright.... that's good. Welcome.
-
Aaaaaaaaaaaand Aolith just got completely ignored. Thanks a lot guys. -_-
-
...Uh, Kiva? That was at least somewhat joking, right? You didn't seriously just drop that with so little warning and mean for us to gasp and take that seriously, right? I... genuinely can't tell. I can't even BEGIN to tell.
-
She's right, you can't just drop that.
-
why can't i? i honestly don't expect anything, it is part of my characters personality to explain things in such a way...in angel she is a kid...picture 7 years old
her age however is 70 years if you go by earth time
time works very differently for those that have exceedingly long lives
-
There's no lead in, no lead out, and it doesn't help the situation. If I just walked up to you and told you my life story for no reason, you'd probably think I was nuts. Being open about things is one thing, but just saying things because people are leaving to other parts without a reason is pretty pointless. It derails the conversation for the sole purpose of focusing on something or someone else, often alienating others. It's uncomfortable at the least.
-
Vi clapped a hand over Aspen's mouth before she could reply. "Oh, she's... from around," she said quickly, giving Aspen a look that said not now.Jynx shrugged. "Yeah... um, we'll tell you later, Rachel..."
_______________________________________________________________
it is later
-
...Kiva, that would have been a lead in AT THE TIME. Had Rachel asked further, that'd be a good time to open up a bit. Not with everything, but some. Right now? There was NOTHING to give us warning. No conversation starter, nothing to add to the conversation, just dropped out of the sky like a T-Rex in a horse costume. Lead up from several pages back isn't lead up. It's a Road to Nowhere, or, in this case, a missed opportunatity.
-
ok...so what do you want me to do about it?
-
Right now, there's nothing to do to really save the post. Just... Try not to drop something like that without warning. Prevention is the best correction. :)
-
Yeah, that does seem to be the obvious solution...
Anyway, I think I'll wait a bit before I post... it wouldn't make sense to arrive just as I left.
-
Would you mind if I made a second character? For some convenience. Involving Rachel in every scene is tiring and can get irritating to other players. It'd be an older character, probably good side, and if you give me the say so, I could make a third, full villain character. :)
(I really hope I wasn't overstepping my boundaries earlier... Sorry if I was.)
-
Go right ahead, I'm fine with it. And I totally get you.
-
Speaking of which, is anyone going to post?
-
i'll post after i get up to speed a bit
miss me?
-
You bet.
-
oh right i remember, i quit this one because i got fussed at for playing my character
-
So, back to my original question. Is anyone going to post?
-
Good question o.O My character's just kinda out of it XD
-
You know, we really have to start this up again :P
