Colors of a Prism [Int Check]

a topic in Interest Checks, a part of the RPG forum.

Thinking about starting a roleplay, but don't have the idea completely finished? Post it here, not in the main OOC forum!

Colors of a Prism [Int Check]

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Hirochi-Zangus on Sat Aug 13, 2011 4:17 pm

Hello, I've made this RP a couple times and I have no idea if it's either 1) a bad idea or 2) "ahead" of its time, but this RP just seems to never even start so I'm going to make this Interest Check and hopefully people will look at this and be interested in the story. So here we go.

Reserved Colors
Onyx
Pink
Violet
Lavender (Floral)
Dim Gray
Silver
Charcoal
Metallic Green
Pale Yellow
Emerald
Silver-Blue
Crimson
Dark Orange

A group of Archeologists go into the Amazon Forest and find a hidden Temple which oddly resembles the Mayan pyramids, and decide to explore it. They find out many neat things, but no one will ever hear about any of them because after entering and tinkering with the temple, they activated a trap which sealed the doors and awakened the demon inside of it. As the temple's last resort, it removed the colored tablets from the walls and sent them around the world attaching to people, animals, and objects. What used to be on the tablets are now tattooed onto these new objects and give the user great powers; a power to wield Colors. A mysterious message is sent out over the internet about these strange tattoos that appeared, but no one knows where they came from or what they do... for now. Is there a way to remove yourself from this curse, or will you be hunted down by those who want to take your powers?

Basically, when the Tablets removed their energy and sent it across the planet, it made Tattoos that were the color of the Tablet (red tattoo, blue tattoo, etc.) and depending on the color, you had magic powers, but they are very specific powers (Forest Green - While touching anything green, you are allowed to teleport to anything else green that has some sort of path to what you were previously touching). Here's a example; Amethyst - Allows you to create a 3x3 ft, thin, purple tinted wall that cannot be destroyed in front of you. The wall cannot move from its original position. This is a good ability because it has an acceptable effect, but still has a drawback.

Having troubles thinking of colors? No problem ----> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors
Having troubles thinking of an ability? Just PM me or try to find ideas online. Look an "Kinesis" or "Magic Powers."

This is what I have so far, hopefully there are a few people who are interested in this XD Any questions can be sent to be via PM or posted right below.

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Mr.Johnapillar on Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:52 pm

This doesn't seem too bad, the main problem seems to be a lack of any cohesive plot or story. You've given us why these people have their powers, but not what they're supposed to do with them. If you do have a plot line, I think you should mention it more. It's that which draws people in, rather than just creating a world with powers.

I hope this has been helpful~

ah, I must've forgot the plot up there, hah hah. I was probably more concentrated on the topic of what the RP was based around. Well the plot is; After recieving the powers, they get a message from somene who has a power, like them, and tells them there is a way to relieve themselves of their power. You could either travel to the location in search of relieving your powers, or tryo to stop those who want to take your powers away.

Black and White cannot be taken as colors since they are used by the Demon that resides in the Temple. I will be playing a major villian and his henchmen ( probably the only villians int he RP besides those who decide to join me).

I thank you for pointing this out, Mr. Johnapillar.

(Reserved Colors are... Onyx, Pink, Violet, Lavender (Floral), and Gray.)

Please, anymore Questions?

EDIT: P.S. - Besides the main plot of the RP being "Find out how to return/Gain more power," it will be ,obviously, to stop the main villian from stealing all of the Colors since his motive is to create a New World where he is the God. Cliche? Perhaps, but he has a more descrete motive revolving around that.

I hope people are interested in this! XD

Sure, but right now I'm looking for people who are interested in joining, but you can reserve a Color if you'd like XD Just make sure your power isn't too powerful.

Good, at least 2 people wanna join now, hah hah.

BTB, forgot to mention this before, but if you pick a Color like Blue, your ability can't be "Controls Water." That's not specific. It should be something like "Can control water that's in a liquid state at least 3 ft around him."

Also, here's kin of the general categories for Colors (subject to change/adjustments/etc.)
Blue - Water/----
Red - Fire/Emotions
Yellow - Electricity/Movement
Purple - Mind/----
Green - Wind/Nature
Gray - Misc.

There are obviously more Colors, but I can't think of abilities they would have specifically. Anymore takers?

Can I take more than 1 color? You mention they go onto objects so does that mean I can have a weapon with a power too?

Re: Colors of a Prism [Int Check]

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Hirochi-Zangus on Sun Aug 14, 2011 8:48 pm

Yes, technically. Your body can only have 1 color on them and items can only have 1 color on them (this rule is not applied to the Beast). I'm going to allow people to have up to 2 colors though to prevent people from becoming over powered. This is an example of the main villian: Body - Pink, Sword - Onyx. He has 2 colors, but his body only contains 1 color. If someonw takes his sword, they can use it's power, but I'm making it mandatory for items (and some body colors) to have a command word/phrase so they can only be triggered at that moment.

I don't remember seeing this rp idea up before (though i have been gone for a bit, lol) but I'm interested. Not sure exactly what color(s) I'd like right now, but I'll think about it and get back to you.

Also, might want to think about keeping a running list of reserved colors in the opening post, if you can. I know on another site I'm on they changed it so you can't edit your posts after so long...

you don't need your abilities reserved yet, just colors. And I will do that, Soul. I'm glad people are finally expressing some interest hah hah.

PS: I'll have an example character up too so you can kind of get an idea of what you should be thinking of when it comes to Colors, Powers, and equipment.

(This is not the official Character Sheet)

Name: Tsuki Hana
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Appearance: -------
Personality: Shy, young boy who wants to protect his friends
Color: Indigo - Allows him to twist the space around a person. He must hand his hand extended towards the person he wishes to fall under his power and depending on what direction his palm is facing, that's the direction everything goes in an area of the targeted person, arms length around. He can only target 1 person and he must have his arm extended the whole time. He cannot make them kill anyone or kill themselves.
Tattoo/Mark: In the shape of an elipse with a filled circle at the center. Also has 4 wiggling lines extending from the top of the eye but with a little space between.
Location: Right Forearm
Equipment:
1) Kuroimaru (Ebony) - A sword that has the blade coming out of a ahndle designed like a snake's head where the blade comes out the mouth. A, Ebony mark in the shape of an "S" with 2 spikes coming out of the top part like fangs is located on the blade near the hilt. By calling out "Black Fang!" The blade will turn black and be able to slice through anything (besides the air) but begins to drain away at the users consious state. Using the power too long will render the user unconsious and in extreme cases, make them go into a coma. You can deactivate the blade by shouting "Retreat, Kuroimaru!"

Something like that. You have to be real specific about your powers. Also, powers that are on items usually require a Command Word/Phrase and sometimes it's required for normal powers.

I was a little bit iffy at first, but after reading a little more, I'm definitely game, Hirochi. Would it be possible to reserve emerald green and moonlight (silver-blue)?
