Prologue - Life after Death

Our entire lives, we tend to ask ourselves the same question, over and over, just like a child would repeat a catchy song which implemented itself in their thoughts. Is there life, after death ? Or do we simply pass away in to a void, where our souls, our bodies, and our minds transform to dust, to nothing more than mere shreds of our former selves, without use, without meaning, without purpose. Or, do we die, in order to reach a better place, a place called by some Heaven, by others Samsara, by few Valhalla, or simply, "The Beyond". Our entire lives we struggle to obtain perfection, to discipline ourselves and mold our own being in to a better person, in to something, which we strongly believe, that it would pure enough to allow us passage in to the perfect World which lies ahead after our passing.

Few have gotten to know the true answer, old scholars, wise preachers, historical personalities which marked the passing of the ages with their knowledge. There is indeed, life after death. But there is of course, a better, and a worse life. Those which deserve to pass to a better World, at the time of their Death, will be greeted by the Guardians of that plain, the keepers of the gates to the "Heavens". And together with them, they will gain passage to the place we all seek, to the place we strive to reach, we will gain access, to the perfect Realm.

Any story has two endings, and this one, is no exception for that rule, because, even though most manage to reach the gates of heaven, some do not. They are those who seek to embrace the darker path in life, to harm those which dwell around them, to create chaos, to spread agony, to destroy the balance which Mother Earth has gifted our World with. These types of beings never gain access to eternal happiness, but in exchange, they are transported to what most have come to come Hell, Purgatory, or simply, The Nether. In this dark, forgotten place, they rot in pain, tortured, day and night, struggling every moment, praying that they would receive what most of us seek to escape, Death.

And beyond these three Worlds, a separate Dimension exists, known as the "Realm of Passage.", a plain created to ensure that these three Worlds would never collide together, thus ruining the perfect balance created between themselves. All beings, good and bad alike pass through this Realm as they strive to reach the destination set for them based on their deeds in the living world. Though, the Realm of Passage, is not an easy and forgiving plain. It represents the last test, to all souls alike, the test which will truly prove if they deserve their place in The Nether or the Beyond. In time, thousands of beings have been lost here, devoured by the wretched creatures which formed out of the spirits of sinners passing through this Realm, or simply, lost in it's seemingly unending paths and roads.

The only ones who have free passage through this plain, to ensure the continued exchange between all the three Worlds, are the keepers of the Gates, both for the Nether and the Beyond. They are the ones which bear the maps to this scorched land, the ones which know the roads, it's dangers, and it's secrets.

But, one day, the unforeseeable took place. A group of keepers, traveling through the Realm of Passage to reap a new Harvest of souls had lost it's way, after being attacked, for the first time in History, by the savage beasts which inhabited that Realm. And in the blink of an eye, Hell seem to break loose. The gates through the three dimensions were shattered, like thin glass smashing against a cold pavement, the skies turned a bloody red, as thunders echoed with fury past the horizon's line.

Lost in in a chaotic World, without their maps, without means to contact the beyond for help, it quickly became clear that it was their Duty, as Keepers, to re-open the breach to all dimensions, and ensure the continuum cycle of all souls to. Is everything lost, or is there still, a shred of Hope ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter I: Howlers (Introduction)

It had been, several days, since he remained stranded on this deserted World. In the search for answers, food, and shelter, all his comrades perished, one by one, to the claws, teeth and jaws of the beasts which layed in wait at every single corner. He was alone, a single shadow, moving from rock to rock, silently, carefully, like a thief which would break inside a house. Two and a half days had passed, since he had seen the last glimpse of a ray of sun, melting far away, enveloped by grey clouds thicker than smoke. His throat was dry, his feet were hurting him, his arms were tired, his mind beginning to loose focus. Locked around his waist, a long, thin blade could be seen, covered in a red thick liquid, the remains of the blood baths it had experienced when fighting against the Realm's dwellers.

A thin blanket of mist started to slowly settle on the grounds, just as if the Realm itself was going to sleep, covering herself up to avoid the bone-chilling winds which traveled at night. In front of his eyes, he began to discern what seemed a cave of sorts, with a small entrance. A lightning-bolt suddenly cracked open the skies with blazing speed, ramming itself in to the edge of a nearby small mountain, separating it in two. And followed by the lightning, rain came. He tilted his head, eyes now glaring the the skies, smiling lightly as one by one, the drops of water splashed against his face, tickling him slightly. Everything grew silent, no more howls of agony echoed in the beyond, no more screams of suffering. He wondered, if he was the only one left on this deserted rock, and if he was, how much longer would he be able to last.

In a fleeting moment, he could hear the small sliding of rocks down a smooth cliff. he turned his head, eyes and ears scouting for the intruder which may have caused the disturbance. Minutes passed away, and he noticed nothing. Everything was just as empty, as cold, and as saddening as it was before. He turned yet again, slowly making his way to the cave when without notice, the growl of a blood-crazed beast reverberated through-out the area, as a black creature with long, thin teeth, four limbs and a head which slightly resembled the one of a snake's pounced from near a corner, barking like a mad dog. Leaping through the air, it's red eyes seemed to pierce through the man's soul as his long, hideous tongue ran across it's teeth, as if almost tasting the fresh meat.

He gasped at the sight of the horrific apparition, turning around with haste, his legs beginning to run just as if he was in a marathon. He could hear the howls of other creatures, it's kin, trying to get in touch with the beast to get a part of the prey. he kept running, past corners, through small tunnels, down roads he had never traveled before, until the echoes of terrifying creatures was lost. With the beast still chasing him, he took another right, and suddenly stoped, facing a dead-end. Turning around, his eyes glared at the hungry monster which stoped in front of him, studying the man, deciding when to pounce.

"Hmph."

A grim smile crawled on top of his lips, as Alakor rose his gaze for the first time since the chase started.

"Your friends would have been.. some-what of a problem, Howler. You alone, on the other hand, are nothing more than child's play."

And with those words, his hands locked around the hilt of his sword, pulling it out, the beast taking two steps back as the man chanted: "Burn, White Phoenix." and with those words, his blade seemed to metamorph in to a beam of pure, white fire, causing the creature to leap in a desperate attempt to finish off it's prey. With a smirk, the man charged forward, muscles contracting, blood rushing through his veins, adrenaline increasing his thirst for blood as he leaned back, arching his back until it almost touched the cold earth, the creature flying inches away above him.

The end came, in a few seconds, as with a perfect slash, the white flame separated the monster in two bits, black blood blenching out of the beast's stomach, raining down upon the victor. Rising from the ground, he sheathed his sword, approaching the creature. Dipping one of his fingers in it's blood, he wrote on a nearby rock. "Alakor neferu, Guardian of the Gates of the Beyond, alive and searching for others such as myself.". Placing the date next to the writing, he dusted himself off, and began moving once again.

Were there others in this World, which still survived after the entrances to the dimensions were closed, or was he truly, all alone ?

Details and Explanations

Time, Date and Information: This Story will be about a group of Gate Keepers from both the Nether and the Beyond which got suck during the closing of the doors to the three dimensions. The reason for this act is unknown, the way to escape is unknown, and there are no clues. If they desire to once again return to their Worlds, they must battle the dwellers of the Realm of Passage and seek answers and clues for why this tragic occurrence took place. We will begin by first finding each other, and then we will set out as a group in search of anything that could guide us to the right path. This is a Role-play set in a "Fantasy World" and thus i wouldn't like to see rocket-launchers, grenades, jet-packs and such rushing around while we're defeating the bad-guys.

Abilities, Magic and Powers: Some of you may have seen Bleach, the anime. I have developed part of the style of the powers based on the way they are shown in the anime. Basically, each and every one of you will be wielding a weapon (to your choosing, anything from a knife, to two swords, to a katana, to a scythe, anything at all), which will be allowed one primary abilities (a sort of "Oh my God he didn't push that button" kind of ability) and two secondary ones, a defensive and a offensive one (When you will be using your abilities, regardless of which one, you will need to call upon your weapon, such as i showed in Introduction - "Burn, White Phoenix". In that moment, your weapon will transform, and you can go ahead and start killing or running). Leaving aside your weapons, you can of course conjure magic using your hands, though calling down rains of fire and magical dragons and faeries to smite your foes won't take place. You can of course call forth a fireball, a frost-blast, generally the usual stuff.

Later in the story, i will introduce another, surprise, set of powers, as our characters evolve.

Difference between the Keepers of the Nether and the Beyond: The difference is some-what basic (leaving aside the good/bad angelic/perverted personalities). Keepers of the Beyond will mostly rely on their weapons when fighting, these beings having a weaker attunement to Magic, while the Keepers of the Nether generally tend to posses greater magic capabilities than the Keepers of the Beyond, while having a tad weaker weapon abilities.

Character Application:

Name:
Age:
Appearance: (your keeper can look like anything you want him to, as long as he is not a flying duck of sorts, you do not necesarilly have to be a human)

Artqueen3429 — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 05:39:56 -0400

Like the title says if you want any characters drawn for you now's the time. I will also be taking requests for avatars and sigs and if I'm in a really good mood, then maybe I'll make you a wallpaper. Just be sure to specify the size you want and obviously the characters you want me to depict.

I'll post to say which requests I have accepted, and I'll post again to say when I've got enough to keep me busy for a while. A copy of every piece I do will be saved in my photobucket account, which I will give you the username of when I remember it.

The World's War

((Before you post, please sign up at: Videogame RP: The World's War))

"YOU WILL STAND YOUR GROUND MEN!" Jihx Knight yelled. Jihx was a Star Warrior (like Meta-Knight). She wore Pink armor with gold trim and highlights. Her mask was white. She was currently leading Dreamlandic forces into battle against the Shy Guys, but was losing rather badly. They were fighting over the Cocoa Caves in Dreamland.

She jumped in, and took down two Shy Guys before taking a blow from a Shy Guy Zap! Tank. She had to wonder how these mediocre Shy Guy weapons and attacks worked so well against her and other Dreamland Soldiers. She took down a few more Shy Guys as the Waddle Dees and Kirbies took down some of the rest.

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

"CHARGE! GIVE E'M YOUR ALL! GOGOGO!"

General Guy was rallying his troops as he was fighting the Dreamland forces. They were winning, but the tide was changing. The extra Star Warriors the enemy got were overwhelming them. He contemplated a risky move. He then activated his radio walkie talkie (or a Modified Blue Toy Block equipped with Special Sound Fruits retrieved from Dinosaur Island).

"Roger, is this thing on? Good, this is General Guy requesting backup against the Dreamland forces. I repeat, requesting backup."

"MEN, PULL BACK AND HOLD AS WE AWAIT REINFORCEMENTS!"

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

Several Tanks pulled up behind the Shy Guy fleet as Jihx watched in horror. They were Shy Guy Tanks, and were to be feared. But then several Pokemon foot soldiers using modified Human technology acquired from sympathizers followed. Some of Bowser's forces were here and there as well.

The fierce fighting continued, unending. Eventually, she had to accept it.

She was outnumbered, and continued fighting was useless. She decided to retreat at the last minute. As she retreated, several more troops fell to the might of the Shy Guys, Pokemon, and Koopa Klan.

"FALL BACK MEN! The enemy has won this day..."

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

"WE DID IT MEN! WE HAVE SECURED THE COCOA CAVES! CHOCOLATE FOR EVERYONE TONIGHT!"

After a round of applause on all sides, they secured the remainder of the place, then camped. Pokemon and Shy Guy and Koopas talked and celebrated. Chocolate was the Main Course. Honors were given, and Leaders informed.

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

In Dreamland, Jihx returned to King Dedede. She told him what had happened.

"And then they overwhelmed us. We were powerless. We don't have communications technology as advanced as theirs... No way to get backup."

News of the defeat spread through Cappy Town quickly, and there was much sorrow.

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

In Toad Town, posters went up everywhere, recruiting for the Mushroom Army. Otherwise, it was a normal day. Do some shopping, eating, and other stuff.

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

Dinosaur Island was undisturbed at the moment, for fighting has not reached it yet. They celebrated anyways. Utopia celebrated the victory. Shy Guy Paradise, a small island north of Yoshi's Island, was also awash with cheers. Bowser's Badlands was roaring with praise.

The other Powers unmentioned were just like the Mushroom Kingdom, wanted posters filled the streets on an otherwise normal day.

.Life.Death.Tragedy. — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 03:24:23 -0400

Through out the world, there are two groups hidden amongst the humans. The Vampires and the group of vampire slayers that call themselves the Knights. The Knight's sole purpose is to eliminate the vampires. The vampires purpose? Seeing as how many of them work alone, their motives arent really known. There are also two schools in the entire world for the Vampires and the Knights.

Knights:
Your powers are enhanced speed, vision and your stronger than humans. You weild a certain weapon you are given when you are born that contains the ability to kill vampires. This can be anything from swords and hammers to guns. Your level of hatred against the vampires varies, but for the most part, there is no one who likes those "leeches". Also, you age like the vamps.

NOTE: if a vampire is shot in the leg by a gun, YOU DO NOT GET TO KILL THEM. you have to hit them in a vital area.

Vampires:
I think everyone knows about these. How ever, you have enhanced senses, speed and strength. You can also fly >:3. You dont weild a special weapon, but you can have one if you want. Remember. Not all Vampires are evil blood sucking fiends. Some (a small group) live on either blood packs or a special mixture that substitutes blood. Though some just find a thrill in slaughtering people. And some of these Vamps like killing the nice ones... MEANIES! Also. Vamps are NOT immortal. They just age slower. and another also. The sun isnt some great enemy of vampires. they just hate it :3

((For the topic, go here: The World's War))

"The Mushroom Kingdom. One of the most powerful ones in the world. They had riches, they had a semi-smart ruler, they had a large army, they had the Mario Bros. and they had Dreamland on their side. The BeanBean Kingdom, and Sarasaland were also allied with them.That was then...

Recently, The Mushroom Kingdom's relationship with Dreamland had been crumbling to a certain extent. King Dedede had stopped trading valuable exports with them, and steadily became more greedy. Princess Peach then ordered an embargo placed against them. Of course this upset King Dedede, a large portion of wealth that Dreamland had was through exports from the Mushroom Kingdom. He then personally visited the Princess. After two days of talks, they got nowhere. King Dedede simply broke all the deals they had. This infuriated Princess Peach, and she declared war. Now Dreamland had thrice times the size of army then the Mushroom Kingdom, and Dedede attempted to invade. Rallying together, the Princess managed to hold off the attack. The Mushroom Kingdom retaliated with BeanBean and Sarasaland support. Dreamland fended off their invasion, and the war continues to now.

Elsewhere, the Pokemon rebelled, tired of the increasing oppression by the humans, and took over a large piece of land south of Hoenn. They then wrote down a new ruleset, installed a ruler, formed their own Kingdom, Utopia, and have declared their independence. They then started a war with the Humans they once served. The war quickly bcame a stalemate as neither side could gain the advantage. On a small island to the east of Utopia, the Yoshis lived. They were approached by the Pokemon, and after several days of talks, they allied with the Pokemon. The Pokemon quickly gained new allies, adding the Shy Guys, and Bowser's Koopa Force as well. With the four combined, they became increasingly strong. The humans, desperate for a comeback, worked themselves into an alliance with Dreamland, and Hyrule.

Hyrule, as mentioned above, teamed up with the humans who were desperate for some wins. Princess Zelda got along well with King Dedede, and The League of Champions.

The Mushroom Kingdom saw Dreamland team up with the Hyrulian Kingdom, and the Pokemon World. They then declared war on all 3. The Pokemon accidentally found into a battle against Mushroom forces when the Mushroom forces were battling Dreamlandic forces. They then declared war on the Kingdom Trinity...

The Nintendo universe was in chaos...

While the fighting went on, a legendary rumor was spread of an artifact that grants anyone nearly limitless power. This made finding the artifact a crucial priority in winning this endless war..."

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

Major Forces (Who will you fight for?):

The United Kingdoms:
The Mushroom Kingdom
The BeanBean Kingdom
Sarasaland

Legendary Dreams:
Pokemon Consortium
Dreamland
The Kingdom of Hyrule

Quadrant Tryants:
Utopia
Dinosaur Island
Shy Guy Paradise
Bowser Badlands

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

So, I was writing up the next part of Behind the Clock's Secret when I had this idea. So I wrote it down, made some tweaks, and have decided to try it as a side project. Simple premise, various Nintendo powers are at war, and an artifact can end it. At a minimum, I will need the following info when you are signing up. You may then add whatever else you want to add.

Name (Make it cool so it will be remembered when your side wins the war):
Species (If you are not a Nintendo Species [PM me for clarification on what Nintendo Species there are], than you can fight for whichever side you freaking want):
Side (Or neutral if you want to be a badass mercenary 8]):
Gender (So Characters know how to refer to you):
Age (So Characters know how to treat you):

Your character can use whatever abilities, items, spells, etc. they want/have. Just keep it in reasonable boundaries, if you need clarification on what is reasonable, ask. I will change the Weapons and other stuff that the powers have to co-operate with the abilities that the characters signed up have, otherwise, it will be what's available to them (from the games point of view). After you sign up, you can post in the topic, and start wherever you like, helping whoever you like. Go shopping or eat, or do other stuff in the RP as your character to pass time until you are called to battle!

Oh, yeah, and here:
http://www.destructoid.com/elephant//ul/20744-550x-bowser.jpg
BOWSER WANTS YOU!
JOIN THE KOOPA KLAN!
FIGHT FOR HONOR! GLORY!
ROMANCE! THRILLS!
EMOTION! MONEY!

With that out of the way, commence! The topic should be up soon.

My RPG Career, since you wanna know - by Dionysus

Dionysus — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:56:17 -0400

1998 - I was a highschool dropout.

1999 - I was working full time at the movie theatres by the age of fifteen. In my state, it's illegal to work full time when you're underage, so I had to personally write a letter to congress and have the governor himself write me a pardon. I applied myself to home schooling, and paid for my own highschool courses. With nobody to teach me, I bought a personal computer (PC) and started pursuing my own education. I became completely self-taught, using my own brain and the computer I was given.

1999 - I discovered Vampire: The Masquerade, a roleplaying game, by pure mistake, while doing research on the Holy Bible one day. I had already become accustomed to computer games, as I used to play Yahoo! Chess and Checkers on-line with other people who took an interest in those types of board games. I stumbled upon a link pertaining to the fabled Book of Enoch, which led me to a V:TM blood-line chatroom on Multicity's free chat server. By the time I had discovered the V:TM chatroom, it was already a ghost chat. But through Multicity's chat server, I was able to navigate to other chatrooms and that's how I became familiar with chatroom roleplaying. My very first participation in RPG chatrooms occurred in Kaduran's DBZ/GT RPG Battle Chat, which is where I was introduced to textual combat for the very first time. Back then, AA and T2 were the most popular text fighting styles used in Multicity.

2000 - Better known as the Golden Age of Internet RPG, this was a time of clans and wars. I was the leader/king of a small clan in Multicity at this time, and had developed a positive reputation for my skills in AA and T2 textual combat. As such, an "elite" group of roleplayers spotted me and invited me to help defend their own chatroom and forum in Geocities, known as the Castle of Dragons, which ran parallel to the Multicity chat server at that time. I joined a group known as the Mavericks, who trained me to become a chatroom warrior. Through this encounter, I learned chivalry and what it meant to be a good text fighter. After several months of refinement, training, and regurgitated knowledge, I was knighted into the Castle of Dragons and became a guardian of textual combat. I went on to help defend the Castle of Dragons as an ambassador to other chats, where I personally signed treaties with the monarchs of places like Usagi & Mamoru's, and acted as a hired mercenary to foreign leaders. By doing so, I was able to recruit new ranks into the Castle of Dragons, and by the end of the year our clan would become famous for wiping out the biggest threat in all of Multicity, a rival clan known only as the Yakuza.

2001 - This is when I became more involved in what we now call "freestyle" textual combat. A few other members of the Castle of Dragons and I decided to branch off into the Castle of Blackfyre, and do our own thing. We no longer adhered to written rules and tutorials, as we felt we had advanced beyond the need for a system or government. I became a freestylist, and instead of practicing the knightly code of chivalry, I retired my sword and became a martial artist. Rather than using weapons, I started using empty hand tactics to fight with. What seperated me the most from other fighters perhaps was my strict adherance to fighting unarmed, without the use of Ki/Chi to defeat my opponents. Still being somewhat attached to my code of honor and chivalry, I refused to practice magic or energy, and instead relied solely on unarmed combat and my experience in martial arts techniques. My fame grew wildly as I went on to fight many chatroom villains and ruffians. I typed much faster then, and even though I found myself outnumbered and outpowered on occassion, I was still able to use my superior WPM and quick reactive mentality to defeat two, sometimes three opponents at a time. What contributed the most to my popularity was probably the fact that many of my opponents used Ki/Chi or magic to fight with, whereas I fought unarmed and restricted myself to normal martial arts techniques without the use of energy. Somehow, I still managed to go this whole year undefeated, and by the end of it I had become one of the "elite" warriors respected for his unique fighting style.

2002 - This is when the Castle of Blackfyre merged into the Metawerx chat server, and opened a chatroom in the RPZone area of the chatrooms. Shortly afterwards, I became independant and left the Castle of Dragons, going off to do my own thing and be my own person. I faired well by myself, and even opened my own Dojo or school, where I began training personal students in the art of "freestyle" textual combat. I signed treaties with the Nobunaga clan and Shinjo clan, and became a hired sword whenever they needed help. For the most part though, I was solo, and at that time I was on a sort of Musha Shugyo to gain all the knowledge I could pertaining to textual combat.

2003 - This period in my history is blank, as I have no memory of it...

2004 - This period in my history is blank, as I have no memory of it...

2005 - This period in my history is blank, as I have no memory of it...

2006 - I was invited by Seraphim (aka Nonpareil) to the very first annual Grand Tournament, better known as GT-1, hosted by Master (aka Remaeus) and the GT-League administration. I entered the tournament and was matched up against Xela Vydust, a rival from another clan. I fought Xela Vydust once and defeated him, killing him in only two simple moves. He argued his case to the judges, who declared a rematch on his behalf. I fought him again, and was declared the loser by Treize Khushrenada, who accused me of "moding" since I ended the fight too quickly. I humbly withdrew from the Grand Tournament shortly after that, and never entered a competition since then.

2007 - Still upset by my loss in GT2006, I made it a point to equal the score. I sent one of my private students from the old Comicity chats to faceup against True Grave, a rival opponent who challenged many fighter's abilities. Grave had insulted Zhelir Darkfall, Master (aka Remaeus), Seraphim (aka Nonpareil), and many other on-line fighters who at the time, were not even my friends, but my enemies. Despite my relationship to them, however, I felt personally insulted by True Grave's accusations and made it my point to teach him a lesson in humility. I sent one of my private students to fight him, and watched admirably as True Grave took a beating. Afterwards, I gave him my own personal challenge, which ended in Grave's submission to defeat. In that way, I was able to restore my lost honor, and cancel out my one and only loss ever in the GT-League's database. I am now listed in their ranks as having 1-win, and 1-loss. I have never lost another match, and to this day I am still placed sixty out of one hundred and eighty five fighters who entered the GT's database.

2006 - Saladin heard about my reputation as an online fighter, and due to his personal grudge from a loss to Nonpareil, decided to throw insults at me and my personal students. Once again, I sent one of my private students to go fight him, in order to teach Saladin a lesson in humility. Saladin claimed to have defeated my student, even though their fight never ended, and was never judged. Saladin continued to insult my students, to the point where eventually I challenged him myself, and threatened to take away his title. At first he agreed to fight me, but eventually after a few posts he wimped out and stopped caring. My victory was never validated, but I plan to have it validated soon. Needless to say, I heard no smart remarks or insults coming from Saladin after that.

2007 - This period in my history is blank, as I have no memory of it...

2008 - I started going to college...

2009 - This would bring us to modern day, as of right now. I am now a retired online fighter, prefering my lyrics and storyline RPG's to online fighting. I am still considered by some to be a "guardian" of textual combat, having been there through the Golden Age until now. Before I decided to retire from textual combat, I made sure to write a detailed "chronology" of textual combat's history from beginning to end. I also created my own textual combat system, called WTCM and based on T1, which relies heavily on strategic battlefield tactics using NPC's in what I like to refer to as "epic battle roleplaying". There is no written tutorial for WTCM, and the last person I started to teach this system to was Malevolance, before I retired. Now I am just an observer, and a watchful "guardian" who stands on the sidelines and gives my experienced opinions based on what I see. I do not plan on getting back into the ring any time soon, although many people do not believe me when I say that. The truth is, I'm not interested in fighting for fame. I'm not concerned with titles or ranks, as I am a man of principles, who cares more about the "truth" in textual combat than I do with being the greatest. And for me, it will always be that way. So as long as I am around to preserve it, the "truth" will be revealed. Right now, I'm doing this for those select fighters who seek just that, and that is why I am called the "guardian" of textual combat.

Into The Shadowland

Gigatronthepwn — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:47:12 -0400

There are two hidden worlds coexisting alongside our own. One is right before our eyes, hiding in plain sight. This world is inhabited by magic and monsters, fantastical beings and creatures that most people think exist only in legend and imagination, creatures and beings known as the Fae. The other world is a place of darkness and fear, a perpetually dark wasteland hidden between day and night, between life and death, between heaven and hell. This place is called The Shadowland, and only the creatures hidden in our reality know about it.

But the borders between The Shadowland and our realm are weakening, wearing thinner and thinner each day. What is causing this? What will happen when The Shadowland merges with our world? That, not even the Fae know. But they don't want to find out. Something must be done before the darkness consumes our world.

Now, before The Shadowland is unleashed upon us, you must create and take control of a Fae character to discover the secret of these events and how to stop them. Perhaps you will even have to enter the darkness yourself. Along the way, you will face opposition from the ignorant humans, your own uncooperative Fae brethren, and the dark forces and aberrations spat out from The Shadowland itself. But you must persevere, before our world is doomed.

Playable Fae Races:
-Elf: Human-like beings distinguished by their elongated ears, highly skilled in magic and navigation. Native to Europe. Elves often infiltrate human society by wearing hats or hoods to cover their ears, the only detail that gives away their true race.
-Jorogumo: Spider people found throughout Asia, South America, and East India. They are basically humans with exoskeletons instead of skin and four eyes from the waist up and giant spiders from the waist down. They can attack with balls and streams of stinging webbing, and make excellent spies and assassins.
-Kitsune: A race of fox people adept at creating illusions and controlling fire and heat native to Asia, particularly China and Japan. They prefer to trick their foes rather than fight them head on, and are a female-dominated society (mainly because there don't seem to be many males of the species). They look like anthropomorphic foxes wearing intricately woven robes and cloaks.
-Tiparion: Cat people who are found worldwide, mostly in deep jungles and rainforests. With their keen senses and great strength and grace they are naturally adept hunters and trackers, although they are also naturally curious, leading some to live peacefully learning about the world around them rather than fight. They look like the typical anime "nekos", only with more pronounced claws and fangs, wearing tribal garb made of animal hides and plant material like leaves and tree bark.
-Centrioth: We've had cute little kitties, vixens, and elves and some giant spiders. So what are these things? Centrioths are octopus-like creatures with great intelligence and telepathic powers. They can communicate with other beings via thought, can move and manipulate objects without even touching them, and can control less intelligent creatures to do their bidding. They need all these powers because physically, they're basically just disembodied brains that crawl around using their six tendril-like arms. They live worldwide in caves, bodies of water, and treetops. Come on, somebody be brave and play as a Centrioth. If nothing else, your character is guaranteed to be unique.

The rules are the typical forum rules; be nice, watch your language, ect. One character per player. Here's the fill-out:

Name:
Race:
Age: (Tiparion and Centrioths live about as long as humans, Elves and Kitsunes live to 1000 years maximum, Jorogumo live to 500 years maximum)
Gender:
Appearance: (In relation to their species; the appearance of Elves and Tiparion vary as a human's would, ex eye and hair color, clothing, ect. Whereas in a Jorogumo, the varying factors would be exoskeleton color and markings, Kitsunes fur color, Centrioths tendril length, thickness, and color)
Starting Location: (In relation to their race, like a Tiparion would start in the Amazon or an Elf would start somewhere in Germany or Norway, for example, although you can ignore this guideline, if you'd prefer)
Bio:

I'll put up my character in a little while.

The Story So Far

The year is 2015. America is nothing but a desert wasteland as far as anyone can see. The rivers and lakes dried up years ago. There is nothing left of the once proud country. In the year 2009 a nuclear war broke out destroying more than 60% of the world population. A-bombs fell from the sky at every angle destroying flesh and building alike. In his unsurmountable anger, god unleashed his wrath upon the now corrupt world. Angels of death and fury rained there holy flame unto the world.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f181/immortaleddie/wasteland.jpg

In the year 2011 the Anti-Christ made himself apparent. His intentions unhidden... The World didn't have a chance. He reduced entire cities to rubble, leaving any that still believed and held faith full to the one true god and unimaginable pain and anguish.

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w7/calnutz/city.jpg

Then the devil unleashed his demonic minions and the war between good and evil begins, with what was left of the human race caught in the middle, but not without hope. Something had changed in some of them, they had evolved, they could do things all others thought amazing or terrifying. The old humans were now obsolete.

Year 2013, the Anti-Christ disappears. Everyone thinks the savior is here. The Anti-Christ is gone, no one knows where he is, is he dead? Is he hiding from god? No one knows, but the war is still far from over, neither side good nor evil wants to give any land to the other side.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The thunderous roar dies down, leaving behind the fallen, now food for the carrion eaters. Evil stands triumphant, the last great stronghold of good lay in waste, the survivors scattered. In the calm after the storm, they stir; to finish off the wounded and cement their domination; to gather their strength and turn near destruction into victory, each side struggles. The evil gloat, even more hungry, now that they can see the end in sight. The good despair, many wondering if they have been forsaken, if the enemy can be vanquished after all that has happened.

The quiet pervades, but on one side it is intertwined with an eagerness, and on the other, a sense of foreboding. With every advantage, everything on their side, will evil grow overconfident and careless? With nothing to lose, and nowhere to turn, will good harness what remains of their strength, and strike at the right time and in the right way?

Sky Harper — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:36:03 -0400

Hey!

I'm currently envolved in a PM RP and I am really enjoying it. But, I would love to do another one, so I'm looking for one (or more!) roleplayer(s) to do one with. I can be either male or female, but I would much rather be female.

Topics that I don't mind doing:

Real Life:
*High School
*College
*Married (with or without children)
*Engaged
*ETC

Fantasy:
*Mainly just Harry Potter rps.(During HPs school years or during their children's school years, preferably)
*Twilight (IF you have a good plot, I am in the mood, and we do NOT use Bella or Edward...as they annoy me so so much)

Any other ideas??
PM me or post here!!

Thank you for reading this.

Story RP?

xXblackrosesXx — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:29:21 -0400

Okay,so I wanted to do a 1x1x1 RP. I am currently in some,but I love doing RPs,and no one is on.
I have ideas,I'll post them. But first,I wanted to address the name of this thread. Well I wanted to RP,and make a story out of it. Using a certain genre,whichever works with you..And having whichever character you want,in it. Of course it depends if there will be a plot... I find plot-less ones to be more mind-stimulating.

Modern-
None really...

Fantasy:
[size-85]Future Fantasy-
A small space road trip,with some fantasy(Elves,humans...ect.) With no exact plot exept,that they are on a space trip.

Modern Fantasy-
A swim in the river goes bad,when three(Or more..depends if the people want to make more characters) friends are transported to an alternate dimension,made in the late 1800's.

Some friends gone camping in the woods,find a surprise,when awaking some dragons. What will happen when they find out they are part of a prophecy?

Medevail Fantasy-
A group of people must help save the kingdome of elves after hearing of a plan for domination of that kingdom.

A king,and a small number of people must save the main kingdom, from the evil brother,plotting worl domination,and even crossing to the modern dimension.
[/size]

Magic//Superpowers-
Teens taming their newly found superpowers,form The New Teen Titans

FuturisticWarfare/End of the world
Friend must band together,to survive the apocalypse. Can they survive,seeing as almost everything predicted happens?

Well I can't really think of any other genre right now.
You can use as many characters as you want. I have two i use. Please at least be semi-literate. I can't type,at times,when I've been typing a lot.
Please try and be dedicated to it.

Contact me via PM,if you're nterested,please.
If you don't have Yahoo Messenger,or Windows Live Messenger,we can always PM the thing.
Your friend
-Sam

Concrete Angels(needs people)

CyanideButterfly — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:23:01 -0400

I chose the title because of the song Concrete Angel and how it is kind of like that song.

Talli and Nova’s parents divorced recently and because their father who was in the F.B.I had more money he got primary custody. Their mother knew he was abusing drugs but she couldn’t prove it. So Talli and Nova moved in with their Dad who soon because of the drugs turned abusive beating his daughters and leaving bruises on them where people couldn’t see and never on the face.

After telling their mother about it their mother has kidnapped them away from their father and enrolled them in a private school far away from both her because she would seem like a suspect in their kidnap and their father. They are to dress up as boys and act like boys going by boy names until their mother can prove that their father is an unfit parent. But their father is in the F.B.I what if he kinds them again?

I would like even genders please so two guys before any girls are accepted. Also have at least one paragraph post thanks. Also Talli is obviously going to be playing Talli so I'm sorry the twin spot is taken.

Dyer Lesster approached the building. He walked inside. He chatted with the receptionist for a bit, then walked to the elevator, entering the required password. He was going up 104 floors to his office. He smiled as he thought of the glorious building he had made for the company, and how succesful and influential they had become. 105 Floors, 5 Basement Floors, several rooms, several security cameras, several guards, several jobs... the list went on and on. The entire place had the feel of a castle/prison dungeon inside. Best of all he thought, through pulling strings, lots of them, he had control over the police, and some of the government as well. This left him free to do as he pleased with minimal interference. All the floors beyond the first floor (and all of the basement floors) are not accesible to non-employees. Luckily for some though, the company was hiring.

He entered his room, and sat at his desk. He studied the papers and info on his desk and on his computer. New breakthroughs in assassinating tech had been made. Pleased, he went, and signed up 2 new people to join the company. This would be a good day, and no one could interfere.

Anyone could enter the ground floor, however some guards watched. There were also cameras, lots of them. The place was under good security after several break in attempts over the last few weeks.

The sign outside said "NOW HIRING! Like the thrill of the kill? Want some easy money? Want to be respected? Loved? Want to feel like you can actually do something with yourself? Join Now!"

The building was impossible to miss. it was the tallest one in it's area.

OOC: (NO MORE GIRLS FOR NOW!) twilight-volturi-ooc-t23693-20.html

Melody sat in her room, humming lightly to herself and looking out a window. Aro never allowed her to leave and she was getting tired of it. She was his adopted daughter, but she hated how over portective he was over her. There were other humans here, why didn't he go and be protective over one of them? Sure they weren't his adopted children like she was but still...
______________________________________________________________
Reneesme was in Bella's arms as the group walked down the streets of Italy. She was the size of a five year old now, even though she was only about a year old. She reached her hand up with a worried look on her face and touched Bella's face, showing images of the Voltori and then of her, asking if they were going to try and hurt them again. Even though she could talk, she perfered to show people what she wanted to say, instead of actual words.

The Dragon Riders

Eragon the sniper — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:15:07 -0400

I'm thinking of starting a Dragon Riders RP. All RPers would collaborate on the plot, making it ours, not mine.

I'm looking for TURE RPers who will stay with this, not just stay with it for a week.

The Last Year

Blueman — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:25:40 -0400

The sky is black from the smoke and haze of a hundred years worth of war. The ground is covered in the ash and snow from the many weapons of mass destruction used, and the nuclear winter that they caused. Bodies lay lifeless on the ground, and buildings stand crumbling. Seas wash over the coasts relentlessly, like giant tidal waves. Trees are withered and decaying. Once triumphant mountains are now gigantic craters in the ground, and the planet's moon is literally a crescent, with it's debris and chunks floating around it.

Cannons fire off. Missiles spiral through the air. Rifle shots streak across the sky. Tanks roll forward, growling like thunder. Bombs whistle through the air, their carriers speeding though the cloudy sky. The sound of marching troops always echoes across the many battlefields of the planet. The mutant forces of our own fallen slowly pick us off. Very slowly. Our bunkers have proven vulnerable to enemy strike forces. Our borders get smaller and smaller as the enemy closes in on the last few strong points we have.

There is no cause anymore. Merely a fight to hold our end off for just a little longer. Those of us that don't die from the extreme radiation are either killed by them, or slowly turn and join their ranks. None of us have to worry about supplies, for there's a constant amount coming off of our fallen comrades. We are forgotten by the rest of humanity. Cast out and left alone to fend off the hellish enemy that was once human.

It's hard to believe, we were once fighting a civil war. It's not even really a war anymore...more of a massacre, and it's definitely not civil. I don't think we'll even last another year out here. -Journal Entry 53 -Captain Matthias -April 23, 2281

The Lost are as deadly as they are numerous. Human transformations...all of them exposed to the radiation or the torturous ways of other lost. We've discovered that since the war began, they've slowly evolved into a hive minded society. We've dubbed them as zombies, and their hive minds zombie masters, respectively. Why? They lack any intelligence aside from that of how to destroy us with our own weapons. Intelligent and outnumbered against single-minded and numerous. It's anyone's battle right? Wrong...

Character Record: (Of course...the standard. Please use this or something similar)

Name (Rank doesn't particularly matter)
Age (Make it reasonable. There won't be a ninety year old man waving the flag in the air, going out guns blazin')
Gender
Appearance (Fighting for over a hundred years? That would mean people probably scavenge, and not everyone is going to be wearing the standard uniform)
Personality (Just be sure and spice it up. No Marcus Fenix types please.)
Equipment (As stated above...scavengers. There's going to be a lot of customized things being carried around.)
Bio (Remember...hundred years worth of war. No one was alive during any period of 'peace'.)

Please hurry and join up you bunch of loons!
