The Strange (OOC/Signup forever accepting)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Cohort Of Time on Tue Nov 04, 2008 4:29 pm

This is the interest check http://www.roleplaygateway.com/idea-strange-land-strange-customs-and-strange-people-t13180.html

Okay, well, this is what I call an anarchic RP or a sandbox RP. I am not god of this RP, I can create scenarios but then again, so can you. Anything I can do, you can do. UNLESS for some reason things get out of control in the most extreme sense.

This RP is going to about an alternate universe, some might enjoy calling it a parallel universe, whatever floats your boat. Or sinks your boat. As that is what this RP is about, whatever you want. The main idea is that your character somehow ends up in this alternate universe (The means by which you arrive are fully up to you). This alternate universe is going to be whacky, crazy, zany, and just outright strange. In this land, your purpose is what you make it. You will try to find a way out of the universe and back to your own. Or not. You will befriend strange beings and have zany under water tea parties. Or not. It shall rain squids over a brightly colored city in which it is a sin to say "fish sticks." Or not. You will be imprisoned for drinking too much chocolate milk. Or not. You can do just about anything. Or not.

Now, every RP has rules. These are the rules to my RP:

1. No saying the words "Too much" and "videogames" in the same sentence without being preceded by a "There is no such thing as."
2. Each character must run into an NPC named Gaylord or Maynard (Nah, I kid)
3. Please no one liners. I do not require novels though, just decent posts.
4. NO God-modding. If I catch this happening to any extent, I will thow a squid at you.
5. No cheese stick shamans.

Okay, now, for the membrane of the RP. This is a very sick membrane. Which means that it has lost its selective permeability. It basically allows for anything. Here we go:

-- If you create Godly powers, thats fine. But you can't use said powers against other characters without permission. Fry all the NPC's you want, however

-- Don't blow up cities where other characters are without permission.

-- You will be in the real universe the first post and by the end of that first post, you'll have to be in the alternate universe.

-- You will have to make up town names and such. Remember, each town is different. I'm saying that like, in one city, saying "fish sticks" may be a sin but that doesn't mean its a sin around that universe. Just in that city or a few cities. Things are different everywhere. The RP is about strange stuff.

-- This RP will hopefully provoke extreme character building as your characters will be put in strange situations and tested constantly. or not.

-- Do ANYTHING! But don't forget how you got there, what your cause is etc etc. Don't let the story get choppy! Choppy stories make me want to go dungeon master on yo face!

-- Have fun or else.

Character sheet:

Name: (Please put a name here)
Age: (Any age. I suggest staying within 4 digits though. Typing 353888455343 is annoying)
Race: (ANY race. Or make up your own)
Gender: (Male or Female. Or you can be like bacteria and not have a gender. I don't care if you're a hermaphrodite etc, anything)
Appearance: (Description or a pic or both. Please not neither..)
Bio: (Very optional)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby XianEvermor on Wed Nov 05, 2008 1:04 am

Name: Eric Dreydon
Age: A while...? (explained IC)
Race: Kizaran
Gender: Male

Appearance: Kizarans, oddly enough, look almost exactly like normal humans save for a few small differences. Their ears are pointed, though not so extreme as an elf, and their eyes come in a much wider array of colors such as red, violet, or pink... yes pink. Kizara's gravity is more intense than earth, so seeing tall Kizarans with huge frames and builds is rare, but not completely unheard of. This also makes them a deal stronger and faster than normal humans when put in similar situations. Eric is not a large man, standing at a mere five feet with the physique of a fairly athletic human teenager. His hair is a dirty blond color reaching down to the middle of his back, and usually kept in a ponytail, and his eyes are a near luminous flaming orange. Eric can usually be seen wearing a red duster with some kind of plain white or black shirt, loose fitting jeans, and steel toed boots. Hanging from his belt is an ornate longsword made of a translucent, glass-like metal that has a dull fire burning within it, and on the other side what looks like it could be a pistol.

Powers: Kizarans have the ability to manipulate the energy around them, and within their own bodies to varying degrees and for different purpose depending on what bloodline they originated from. Eric is a powerful pyrokinetic, that is to say he can translate the energy around him and within his own body into heat or fire, or bend existing fire to his will. A quirk of his particular power is that he can only translate his energy into fire... nothing else. That being said, his power over fire is known to be particularly potent, even against other fire users, or fire based beings.
