This sounds fantastic. I'm noramlly a 'tl;dr' person, but I could not pull myself away from the intro! I haveto write a paper today, but I'll write someone up tomorrow to apply. I have a question though: can the characters learn magic, or do they have to have a strictly 'normal' profession? If they can learn magic, is it books and words and symbols, or feelings and a hidden power?

Glad you like it, looking forward to your submition.

In answer to your question, your character can learn whatever he or she likes. Magic would be a sort of a cross between the two categories. Most spells would have to be learnt from books but it's not just a case of picking up a scroll and throwing a fireball, not everyone would be gifted in the ways of magic. But basic things wouldn't need to be learnt, it would be a matter of instinct. How else would your character figure out they can do magic?

Feel free to take a bit of creative freedom in this department. My characters won't be using magic (Though some of the NPC's might) so it's really your area to explore. As long as the plot keeps moving and the characters don't go from helpless to Demi-God in a matter of hours then I don't have too much of a problem with how it works.

Hello!

Submitted a sheet; please do let me know if you have any issues with it. I am not averse to editing in the slightest. It looks like you have an interesting concept here- I'm interested to see how it plays out!

I'm sorry for not submitting a sheet. I was working on it yesterday and then a dr appt. and after my appt i came back and grabbed my roommate and went out to dinner. When we got back from dinner we was out of power, that was like 4pm yesterday, and we didn't get power back until 3am ish. I'll have one submitted today.
And on the eighth day, Death said "Let the killing begin!"

No problem death, whenever you're ready is fine,

Kurokiko, your character was great, looking forward to seeing how you play that one out.

Mercy, feel free to post your character here if you want but they're up in the character tab if anyone wanted to take a look.


We'll kick things off as soon as we get a few more entries, a couple of people have promised me them soon so maybe we'll be all good to go before the weekend is over.

Hey chicken, just wanted to tell you that the link to the RP is broken (for me at least). I had another question to ask you as well. When the characters are transported, the only things they bring are the clothes they're currently wearing and the item. What if my character was pregnant? Would her unborn child be left behind, or would it get transported too, since it's kind of a part of her.

Hmm, I'll take a look at that, cheers.

I'm gonna say yes, you're pregnant character would bring along her unborn child. It would be more than just a little sadistic of me to say no to that after all. An interesting twist you'll be throwing in there, can't wait to see how you play it out.

Well, there you have it, a working link, curtesy of Co-GM MercyKilling. A quick note on that subject, if I'm ever away for a few days (As I will be next weekend) and anyone has any questions then Mercy here is your first port of call.

Still waiting on a couple of character applications before I kick things off, hope no one minds waiting just a little longer?

So... I am really excited to find out what everyone's items do. Just wanted to put that out there. I've been thinking about what could come out of gloves and a mirror, but for the life of me I can't >> My curiosity is peaked.

Finally was able to fix my character to your expectations. I feel like a big success.

As for my post history, most of them are short because I post recently, making it so not much has happened, and I feel if I add all of these things suddenly happening, I'm controlling the whole RP and changing it. 500 words a post will take me longer and I know I can do it. As for the first post example, I will get started on it right away and PM you.
My life has ended, yet my body still breaths, my mind continues to run, and my eyes continue to see. The worlds true face has been revealed to me. It is why I know I have failed to prepare myself for the real world. Why the rest of my days will befilled with hardship and fear. My days will never cease my punishment for the sins I have commited. But even suicide cannot free me. So I live my days in pain, waiting for the time i may finally rest, yet my soul will forever be tortured.

@Silverclawedmouse: I'm equally curious about the bell. At first I was thinking "necromancy?" (if that seems left-field, I blame Garth Nix), but now I'm not sure!

Don't worry Rose, we haven't started yet (But I was thinking 6 might be just a tad too young?). Might just have enough now to get things underway, WOOHOO! So, if we say go-time is from tomorrow? I'll get a post up when I wake up and then you can all feel free to join me :D

@Kotaro: Go for what feels natural, if you have him finding the object as well as going to sleep and waking up and freaking out then there's enough there for pages of writing. Choice is yours, I just need to see how you write.

Sounds awesome. I just noticed that we have a LOT of female characters. Not that I mind; it's just a bit unusual for the genre.

My PM's not working right, so I'm going to give my example post you wanted here:

Alex was walking down a street near his college. The sun was shining, no clouds were in the sky, no breeze. Basically, it was a terrible day to live in Arizona. I just had to walk today, I just had to save gas for my car. Alex was still wearing his jacket, making him even hotter. He wanted to take it off, but he was too lazy to even move anything other then his legs. His legs however wanted to stop moving as well. They felt like dumbbells after the long walk, and the heat didn't help it at all. He felt like he was going to have a heat stroke. People had offered to walk home with him, people who lived nearby, but he just ignored the offers and walked away. He didn't care much for company and felt better alone.

Alex looked up, sweat dripping down his face and onto the sidewalk.There was a bus stop ahead of him, one of the stops that had an add on the side as well as a small roof above it. That roof only meant one thing to Alex, shade. Oh thank God. He lazily walked over to the bus stop, one leg slowly lifting then stomping on the ground after the other. As the shadow of the bus stop fell over him he almost fell from complete relief. He sat on the bench under the small roof and heaved a heavy sigh of relief. "Much better." He leaned against the back of the bench, his head hanging from the top.

He brought his head forward again and smiled. "This is much better. I might just take the bus." He looked down the street, his eye catching something glowing in the sunlight. He leaned forward to get a better look at it. It was laying on the curb, completely abandoned. Alex got up and approached the shining object slowly. As he got closer, he saw it was a pole. "A pole, in the street?" He looked closer at the pole, realizing it wasn't just a long piece of metal. It was a work of art. The pole was 4 feet long and 2 centimeters wide. The base color of it was a dark red, with designs of green and blue vines coursing around it. In the center of it, 4 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide, was the design of a majestic bald eagle, perched on top of a long branch and and seeming to be staring at Alex with a fixed expression of determination.

"That is amazing." He reached for it, his eyes fixed on the eagle's stare. He picked up the pole, admiring its mastery of art. "I wonder if someone dropped it?" He looked around, wondering if anyone was near. No one was. "Guess it's mine then." He put the pole over his shoulder and walked home, swinging the pole from time to time. Since he had learned Tae-Kwon-Do, he had loved the feel of a weapon in his hand, not that he needed one.

Alex sat on his bed, holding the pole out in front of him. "I wonder what master will think about this?" He placed the pole against the wall next to his bed and laid down. He closed his eyes, falling asleep after the hard day. He suddenly opened his eyes, the pole seeming to glow. All around him his room began to liquefy and melt into a complete darkness. "What the-?" Alex felt the bed disappear underneath him as he began to fall. Before he fell, he grabbed the pole and held on for dear life. He felt himself falling and never landing. Its gotta be a dream.

Alex felt solid ground beneath him. He opened his eyes, expecting to see his room. But instead he saw something he wasn't counting on. He was on a stone floor, his hand still holding the pole, people around him walking around what looked like a flea market. He blinked as his vision cleared from the bright sun hovering above him. The people were wearing strange clothes, some of which looked like robes and others in armor. Some of them carried weapons as well, but not guns. Instead they were carrying swords, maces, spears. Weapons not used since the olden times of mankind.

He stood up after a man walked over him, carrying what looked like a cage. He looked around him, taking in his surroundings. "Where the hell am I?" He said.. He looked fearfully around at all the people around him. They all seemed so badly tempered and were glaring at everyone around them, including him. He turned to a man nearby. "Excuse me, can you-"

"Leave me alone you rotten Beggar!" The man pushed Alex away, into a wall nearby. Alex was dumbfounded, confused, but most of all, scared. "What the hell is this place?" He looked to his right and gasped. In the road, towering over everyone else, was a...a.... creature. It had the ferocious head of a bull, the legs of a powerful bull as well, but the muscular torso and arms were that of a man. "Holy Shi-!" Alex didn't even finish before he started running away from the beast. He was trying to move everyone out of his way, only to be pushed down again. He put his hands defensively over his head. This is not happening, this is not happening...But he knew it really was. Everything looked and felt too real. He was trapped in a world he didn't even know.

Is this what you are expecting?
