The thing with the red gold crown.

The humans disappeared without a trace and muses of theirs were brought to the real world. Few characters knew where they were and most went into shock without their creators. Without order, chaos ensued. Crime, murder, and lawlessness ran rapid across the globe.

A ten years have passed since the event. Groups of muses took power in the lands scattered across the globe and with their aid the others were able to rebuild society. Terrorist groups have arisen that threaten the tranquility of the world. In response to this the governments have made internment cities and sorted characters into them based on their power level. All level four and higher characters have been eradicated in the cities, but the level fours and high being killed is not widely known.

The cities are filled with poor and filthy characters. Hunger and disease is common and the comforts we know are a rare sight in this world. The buildings show their age and electricity could be outputted to the cities, but this is a testament to how these poor souls are. The dead are either left in what they had called home or else they are put in mass graves. The jobs the workers can get are very dangerous and their safety is not considered as they can be easily replaced. Guards patrol the cities and have powers to compete with their citizens and the guards also protect the cities from the things that lurk in the wilderness. Ten foot fences with barb wire and made with anti magic metal surround the cities.

The country side is much worse with the dragons, minotaurs, and much more running about. While disease isn't a concern shelter that doesn't have something that will kill you is a rare sight. Food is easy enough to get if you can kill the things that inhabit the land or scavenge edible plants.


Ok, you have the setting.

Rules

No level four or above characters unless you want to say they died already.

No auto hitting unless they are mooks

No ghosting unless, but if in the sign up you give a good reason I'll allow.

The other general rules.


You play as an Original Character and can play as a character from an established series as a npc. Should we start by escaping from the cities or should we have already meet up somewhere.

  • Name: Tetsu Shinjiki

  • Gender: male

  • Species: Human

  • Appearance: He is quite a handsome, Bishōnen looking fellow, he is remarked to have a normal, not at all menacing air. He walks with a confident stride. He seems to have a lot of scars all over his body, except on the face, which is caused by a "doctor Ambientus" doing some nasty experiments. He is quite muscular, and tall, but some have found he even had implants earlier to make himself taller. At the small of his back, there is a large fake skin section which covers a large tank literally connected to him. It cannot be taken out.

  • Powers: His powers all come from his "Suit". Even so, his body has reinforce bones, threaded fiber enhanced muscles that give Super-Strength. His armor suit comes with a helmet that carries a mini-communicator to "headquarters". Think of it as Powered Armor, he is literally wearing miniaturized battle grade technology. Underneath the armor, he is wearing a three layered bullet proofed vest, which has some odd long openings near the arms and shoulders. These long open strips allow him to have a number of compressible weapons literally rip out of him as a blade beneath the shoulder type of thing. He also has a wrist mounted mini machine gun mounted on the power armor, limited regeneration due to a specialized stem cell tank connected to the middle of his back. He has an controlled miniature tesla coil palm based weapon, which means he can throw around lightning. However, without the suit, he is truly powerless...well, except for the stem cell tank, and while reinforced, it can definitely be damaged badly.

  • Equipment: He usually carries a side arm and some bandages just in case he needs to patch himself up.

  • Alignment: He follows his own little path "Dr. A" set up for him, he thinks he's doing a good deed when in reality he's sometimes a peace keeper for rotten groups, and other times a mercenary.

  • Biography made by you: Tetsu was always a frail boy, never really capable of standing on his own as a wasting disease wracked him and made each and every day a unique experience of agony. He was given another chance at life by Doctor Ambientus, an oddly friendly albino who, after saving Tetsu and when the naive boy was exposed to criminals and evil in a way Ambientus totally did not plan, Tetsu went a bit crazy and took on a Knight Templar identity called Justice 1. Ambientus totally did not push him down the slippery slope either. No Hannibal Lecture happened, okay evil grin
  • Biography of what they did when you stopped existing on Earth: Tetsu was always a bit of an idealistic type, very naive, and so when he was revealed to be a character, he didn't take it well. When chaos erupts, he claims that Justice is there to save the day. And he remains ignorant if that scientist Dr. A actually means well.

Hmmm... So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole setting is basically a world where the normal people have disappeared and their fictional creations have somehow manifested in real life in place of them, right? Hmmm...

If that's the case, I might have some ideas of what to run here. Let's see now...

It wasn't a one for one trade since all their creations came into the word, but other than that you're pretty spot on.

The thing is a part of the suit, it was inspired by a piece of scifi I read the other day.

Miniaturized tech is so awesome.

But if that explanation doesn't work, I can make something else be in its place.

When you say you can play a character from an established universe as an NPC, do you mean a canon character or an OC from an established universe?

And they wouldn't technically be NPC's, since they're being controlled by a player.

A canon character. Since the OC character could be used as a main character.

I just meant that the canon characters shouldn't be stealing the spotlight from the original characters.

You play as a character who starts by aiding the Government, the terrorist organizations, or themselves. You can even be an escapee from one of the cities.

The goal of this game is made by your character.

No, you play as an OC and can play as a canon character, but only if the canon character doesn't take the lead role.

For example you could control Optimus Prime, but he couldn't become the main focus. You could also control other OCs you made since this world is inhabited by more than a few characters and no one can know your character better than you.

Of course if this gets taken advantage of you won't be allowed to play any other characters until told otherwise.


Edit.

There are plenty of canon character rpgs but few OC here. This is supposed to be an OC game. I'm allowing the non player playing of canon characters since they will be in this world and setting.

If you want to play as a canon character you could just make characters that have the traits you like and add in your own tastes for flavor. I have no problem with that.

This. Looks. Awesome.

  • Name: Python (not true name)
  • Gender: Male
  • Species: Reptilian (Alien dinosaurs originally from Earth, but were brought to their planet many years ago)
  • Appearance Like this (yes I did draw him)
  • Powers: Invisibility, soundwave screeches, adapt at climbing, plasma control, chameleon like tongue, slight shapeshifting, can posses objects, run at incredible speeds, has an ice and fire breath, can use a natural body poison, slight psionic powers
  • Equipment: None
  • Alignment: The Hunters, a pack he's trying to make of similar individuals
  • Biography made by you: A fighter during a grand competition, he doesn't tell anyone about his past as he is assume to be either ashamed of it or has committed somethings no being should,
  • Biograpy of what they did when you stopped existing on Earth: After finding out he was only a character in a story, he had an existentialist crisis, eventually going insane as he turned feral. Eating and hunting became a prime goal for him, surviving was the bigger goal. He mainly lived in the country side, seeing as he was practically an animal now, but he does take the time to enter the city and hunt people, which he has not problem eating now.

EDIT: Image link is now 100% more awesome

I'll need to know a few things about this guy before I allow him.

How invisible is he when he goes invisible? Does he look like water,does thermal pick it up, or as if there is nothing there?

What does plasma control and posses things mean?

What symptoms does the victim of the poison show and how is the poison introduced?

Slight shapeshifting and slight psionic powers are powers that I'll need to know the full details on.

How fast does your character run?

  • Question 1: He will appear on thermal and because he turns invisible by warping the light around him, you'll see him if you look close
  • Question 2.1: He controls plasma for blasting things with it, basically think **pew pew** but with his hands.
  • Question 2.2: He can posses objects, say a statue, he could posses it, but only for a short time, before he tires out and it can only be an object directly equal to his mass
  • Question 3:The poison is like a rattlesnake's, except it's made an organ in his throat, so he needs to spray it. He administers it through either biting them and spraying the wound.
  • Question 4.1: He can shapeshift his body parts, turn his tail a blade, but he can only shift a certain amount of his mass, he can't make a blade the size of a mountain
  • Question 4.2: His psionic abilities give him a spidey-sense kind of power, nothing else
  • Question 5: A logically possible as any raptor sized dinosaur would

This is supposed to take place on real Earth, so there isn't another reality on top of this one.

Would you pm me her weaknesses?

Is that a semi truck or a regular truck?

I would like to also know the limits of what she can pull from hammer space.

The other layer she can see is this world. She can see through the fourth wall, and is entirely aware that she's just a character in a forum RP. It's the world on top of the game world. To be honest, the character is kind of an exercise in metafiction that I wanted to try out.

Her weakness is... Electricity and green vegetables. I kinda screwed up and didn't put it in there beforehand, but I quickly edited it in.

Regular truck.

She can't pull out anything too complex, like complicated machinery (and definitely nothing like, say, a nuclear warhead or anything), nor can see produce anything more than twice her size.

The world they are in is supposed to be this world. She can suspect or even think there is a higher reality.

Other than that she appears fine.

  • Name: Akkiziel VI
  • Gender (If applicable): Male
  • Species: Cyborg
  • Appearance: Wears mechanic's overalls, has pale skin, purple hair tied in a ponytail, and green eyes.
  • Powers: Being a cyborg, he has Super-Speed and Super-Strength, enough to outrun most cars at their top speed and then kick said cars through a building. He also can take more punishment than an ordinary human.
  • Equipment: He has a Plasma Sword hidden inside his right arm. His left arm functions as an energy blaster. These weapons are powered by a highly advanced 100-year battery in his chest. That is very fragile.
  • Alignment: Terrorist groups. Tends not to like governments because in his time cyborgs were technically illegal.
  • Biography made by you: A mechanic in the 2600s, Akkiziel VI perfected the cyborg technology that ran in his family. Then a large war kicked off between the three remaining countries on Earth and he was drafted, leading to many, MANY shenanigans. Most of which involved painfully harming his CO.
  • Biography of what they did when you stopped existing on Earth: Akkiziel joined the terrorist groups very quickly, due to his resentment towards getting drafted in his universe. He quickly became a well known and infamous freedom fighter, dedicated to truth, justice, and top-notch booze.
