Greetings, Salutations. We, the Trio of GMs, would like to welcome you into our hopefully entertaining world. I am Alasund De'astio, some may know of me as a former Moderator and Mentor, but now I am but a humble Gamesmaster. (Pretentious, yes, but humble I promise you. I hope.) With me, are Cienpher and Nivosity, the original brains behind the first incarnation of this story. Some of you may know them as the most brilliant story creators of the recent history (at least to my knowledge) of Gateway. Some of you may have never seen them before. Let's rectify that, shall we? =P
Cienpher here, and I'll be taking over for this bit. So yes, some of you may know us, but many of you do not (although Alasund is surely far more well-known than I am), but all the same, we thank you for taking the time to look over our roleplay. I suppose it's only fair to warn you now that it's probably different from most of the other roleplays on this site. For one thing, our plot is rather eclectic, our world obsessively embellished, and our characters that inhabit this setting are also far from the norm. We do not regret this. Why?
Because we are weird. (Cienpher, please speak for yourself. >_< -Niv) (Oh, don't you dare deny it. -Cienpher)
That's really the only explanation I've got for all of you. (All that's really needed though. -Ala)
... As I was saying before being rudely interrupted several times over - we are unique. I think all these little interjections are proof enough of that. However, if you're willing to put up with our idiosyncracies and strange little methods, we can promise you one thing for sure: this will be a once-in-a-lifetime roleplay experience, and we will do everything in our power to make sure that you, our future roleplayers, will have the most fun you could possibly have. We want to immerse you in this world that we have created, help you forge a bond with your character, but in all honesty, that's not about to work if no one joins ^^"
This is Nivosity, and although you've already seen me in action interrupting people, it's really nice to meet you all. It falls on me to do our short little list of stuff that you should keep in the back of your mind - other than Cienpher's weirdness. (Nothing to do with me, okay? Just take my word for it.)
- Go ahead and reserve roles. We realize that it takes time to make characters all lovely and flawed might take a while, but we have a not-so-strict time limit of 48 hours. But even if you reserve a role, don't take it to mean that you'll get in - these profiles MUST be well-done. Make them so you can show them at people you know and get undiluted awe in return. Ask for extentions if you must, and unless it's your tenth, we'll probably agree to it.
- If you want any other information, do ask. We are people with very little lives apart from the Internet (or so Niv says -Cienpher), so you won't have to wait an eternity for an answer. Plus, an empty OOC is always boring - and bored people do strange things. Take my word for it. Anyways, we'll try to get an answer to you in 24 hours or less.
- Respect is the key. We realize that we might be slow at checking over characters or some of our other duties, but harrassment is highly discouraged. This may end in us developing divine powers and taking out our not-so-often-used GM powers. It's unpleasant for all parties - so just remember to be nice and everything will go swimmingly.
- If you have any ideas or suggestions, we're always happy to collect these. They may not always be included if they don't fit into the storyline well, but feel free to think away. Also, we (well, I personally) have an unhealthy obsession with speculations... and we support any guesses whatsoever.
- Your character will probably die in the course of this roleplay. If this bugs you in some way, this is probably not a suitable fit for your interests. (As in, 90% of the characters will probably be dead at the end. Some roles WILL also die earlier than others, though the exact date varies depending on how the RP goes. - Ala) So, tough luck for you who are chosen to be our characters in red shirts.
- Second characters will be...erm... opened up sometime in the future depending on interest. However, if you have a character with an early death, we will probably be nicer in giving you one.
So sign up here and good luck!
Princess Nivosity, Weirdo Cienpher, and Pretentious Humblebug Alasund De'astio. (And that was Niv showing she's weird with us. ;D - Ala) (*cough* Care to say that again?! -Niv) (Niv's weird with us~ -Ala) (I am not! -Niv)
Cienpher, the Dictatress, and the Wizard Pony
Ala, Nivy and Cici. =P
(I like mine best.)
PS: If you haven't noticed, we are a wordy bunch.
Relevant RP Notes
Masked Information:
- The Masked do not know each other by name. Only by codename and Masked Form. They all know Liesel Moringmer.
- They communicate via wristwatch things which they were all given by Torrings. Other Masked Members come up as their title when they send messages to other Masked.
- The King is, when on a mission, equal in authority to Liesel, as much as she might dislike this.
Itex Information:
- Itex, as Masked, don't know each other except by codenames. There is no figure, though, that they all know.
- They all have connections, via privatized anonymous voice chat. Again, they know each other only by title and encrypted connection information. Their conversation is always hosted by the mysterious figure, 'Judgement'. He is the one who gives orders.
- Chariot generally leads on missions where he is assigned and others are with him - otherwise Judgement chooses the leader when he gives the assignment./list]
True and False Mask Information:- When one simply dons the mask without transformation, the personality will change along with minor physical skill development. The physique itself will remain the same, unlike in transformation. The mask is visible on the face.
- When used in transformation, the wearer's personality, skill-set, and physical characteristics will all change to accommodate the nature of the mask, and they will even develop inhuman magical abilities. The mask is, in such a case, not visible, but it is still there - should one reach up to grasp it, it will flash-appear with a thin veil of light. The transformation is undone when the mask is taken off.
