Roleplay

[i]Three years, so much has changed… It’s brought destruction, damage, hell… But where do I fit in? What is my purpose?[/i] Yes hi hello, welcome to an original universe roleplay! Here is the premise: The year is 2050. At this point in time, many different species of humanoid creatures have been found all over the world- including dryads, elves, and different forms of human/animal hybrids, mainly bipeds. With the evolution of science and medicine, cyborgs were not uncommon. Yet with this evolving world, there was still a common belief that there were gods of many elements- such elements that would protect the planet and save it when the time came. Three years ago, an entire town was overtaken by an unknown entity, one that soon took over the planet with iron force. All hell broke loose, and many were killed brutally by the Entity and its many gangs of grublins and golems and wyverns. Others were killed further when they tried to rebel the entity’s rule. The rest now fight to survive, no longer able to gather up the courage to fight. All hope has been lost. At the same time, reports of people going missing ran high. They were all young teenagers, and most of them were never found. Since the arrival of the Entity, these numbers had hit their peaks. However, this surprise anomaly had stopped within three months of the Entity’s appearance. Three years later, a glimmer of hope arose. It turned out that many of the missing teenagers were found in crystal coverings, surrounded within a magical fluid. These crystals were found underground in the midst of chaos and confusion, and with exposure to air, the crystals shattered. It was discovered that these teens had special… Abilities. Depending on the color of the crystals they were found in, these humans had the ability to wield any of the eight forms of magic below: [list] [*][color=orangered]Fire-[/color] One who wields this ability can control fire. This means that they are able to start small fires through the palms of their hands and can deflect fire attacks. Further, they can control a fire that has already been started and utilize it to attack their opponents. No, they cannot breathe fire. Best with wind. [*][color=goldenrod]Electricity-[/color] Similarly, those with electricity are able to send out currents of electricity towards their opponents and- if strong enough- can channel smaller bolts of lightning through themselves and towards their opponents. No, they cannot channel entire lightning storms or summon a giant bolt of lightning. [*][color=cyan]Ice-[/color] Those who wield ice can drop the temperature of the air around them and withstand temperatures up to -30 degrees Celsius (25 degrees Fahrenheit). They are able to freeze their opponents with contact, and if given enough liquid, are able to freeze up some projectiles. This works best with the wind element. [*][color=olive]Earth-[/color] Those with the earth ability are able to solidify mud into rock and hurl projectiles of rock at opponents. They are also able to create a temporary armor of mud or sand, which makes a great defense. [*][color=lawngreen]Poison-[/color] Those who wield poison can create their own venom and are immune to venom attacks. Very useful for assassination, if they’re okay with spitting in drinks. No, they cannot turn anything into poison. [*][color=darkred]Fear-[/color] Those who wield fear can emit high-pitched sound waves that can strike fear in those who hear. Please be cautious around these Beacons, because their waves do not discriminate. Always use earplugs. [*][color=royalblue]Wind-[/color] Those with the wind element can create small tornadoes and moderate wind storms. They are also able to use bursts of air to throw projectiles or carry fire forward. No, they cannot create hurricanes. [*][color=indigo]Shadow-[/color] Those who wield shadow are able to hide themselves in even the smallest of shadows. They can strike whenever they get the opportunity, and often use a strike of shadows, which will surround the enemy and disorient them for five minutes. Oftentimes the opponent will attack their own allies within this time. Proceed with caution. [/list] All of these elements are unruly in their own right, and they must be trained to be tamed. This is why, as soon as they were discovered, the Crystal Beacons were sent to a remote location, one of which seems uninhabitable due to the damage of scorched earth and thick ashy air. But this is only on the surface. In this location lie many caves that are connected by a network of tunnels. Beneath these caves lies a city much like the ones that prospered many millennia before the deity entered this world. It’s a wonderful city, with towers of marble and terracotta, temples everywhere, and the remnants of the gods who were once worshipped- and these are the gods whom blessed our heroes with their powers. This is the secure base of the Beacons of Hope. Within the temples of the gods they train, within the security of the caves they thrive. The crystals lining the caves are a luxury and a great form of defense indeed- this is the material in which the Beacons keep hidden. Within this base as well are Guardians- humans with special psychic abilities who uphold the spiritual ideas of the elemental gods. They do their best to make sure that the Beacons are safe and training to the best of their abilities. However, things are changing. As the world grows ever more bleak, the enemy draws nearer and nearer. This will cause some problems. After all, the initial aim was for the Beacons to be hidden until they were ready to fight back with full force. Alas, this cannot be the case. Thus, the beacons will fight back any of the Entity’s subordinates if they near the base, though only for the sake of training. Now the problem? None of the Beacons truly know what they are supposed to do- after all, these Beacons are all estimated to be between the ages of thirteen and nineteen, and it is difficult to fathom that one day they may have to kill any humans who surrendered to and became minions of the Entity. Animalistic and unnatural beings were easy to fight and defeat, but fellow humans would prove to be psychologically impossible to attack. After all, before they were found in crystals, they interacted with fellow humans. They had families, friends, memories, lives. So instead, they train on the daily, in constant search of their purpose. While they mingle, they know not of each other’s powers, for they train in seclusion. But with each day they grow stronger… ...Until one day the base is swarmed. The Guardians of the city were able to fend off the troops, but at a cost. Many of the Guardians were killed during the fight, whilst the rest passed on due to the injuries sustained… With the exception of one. One of the younger Guardians at the age of thirty was able to escape the Beacons. They fled into another labyrinth of caverns from underneath the city to flee. But where did they go? Where else [i]is[/i] there to go? ...Up. There was one final area that the Entity had not managed to touch. The oldest temple of the planet rested on a series of floating islands, and only reachable by those who possessed the power of Wind. With their help, the Beacons made it to safety… and to where they now stay. Without the multitude of Guardians watching their every move, the Beacons were finally free to train together, since they were not allowed to work together before. Here they are, under the direction of their head guardian Aurelius, waiting for the day they can finally come out of hiding… Discord server: [url]https://discord.gg/YnnyaT5[/url] Please use the Discord wisely. I don’t want to have to kick anybody because they can’t get along. Cool? Cool. Now for the rules of the RP. [color=purple]~General Rules~[/color] [list=1] [*][b]The Discord server is the official OOC.[/b] Please sign up through there!!! [*]This here is the OOC for those who cannot use Discord. IC thread is here: [url]http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/rp/2702772[/url] [*]All Flight Rising rules apply. [*]No god-modding in either the Discord or the RP. [*]Don't powerplay or use your characters as if they're OP when they are not. Big battles are supposed to be a team effort. [*] [b]Make sure you double-check with someone before you battle/make romantic advances/etc.[/b] [*]Try to avoid explicit scenes, and fade to black when they come. Keep gore ambiguous as well! This is a PG13 forum. [*]All cursing past “hell” or “damn” should be censored, and please don't curse too much unless your character is a sailor-mouth. [*][b]BE POLITE TO OTHER ROLEPLAYERS AT ALL TIMES!!!![/b] I cannot stress this enough. People bashing each other will result in getting kicked from the RP. [*]Be patient with me. I have a lot on my plate outside of school and work, so I won't be on all the time. If I'm absent for too long, just send me a message in Discord or ping me in the server. [*]If you have any ideas for the RP, feel free to share in the Discord! [*]The rules are subject to change at my discretion. Be sure to check back often. [*]Have fun~! [/list] [color=purple]~On Characters~[/color] [list=1] [*]You may have up to three characters, and all of them MUST be Beacons. Please ask me if there is another role you wish to take. [*]The age range for Beacons is 13-19 years old. [*]This is an original universe, therefore I would like the Beacons to be original characters! Canon characters will not be approved. If the original character is based off a canon character, that's fine, but I decide when it’s too similar to its inspiration. [*]You must fill out a character sheet! The template is down below. [*][b]Please make the elements of the characters diverse![/b] I would prefer that we have many different Beacons who wielded different elements than a big group with all of the same element. It wouldn't be fun if everyone wielded Electricity, after all. A bit shocking if you ask me. [*]No Mary Sues. Try to leave room to develop your characters as you go along. [*]Characters should be primarily human, but humanoid is fine. [*]On humanoid creatures- They can be anything I mentioned above- nymphs, dryads, fairies, elves, human/animal hybrids, and cyborgs. Check with me if there’s a humanoid creature you want to use but are unsure about! [/list] [color=mediumvioletred]~On ROMANCE~[/color] [list=1] [*]Keep in mind that any romance should be relatively subtle and not the focus of everything. This isn't a romance RP. [*]No incest, unless it's joking. Crack shipping moments are allowed, as long as they aren't too raunchy. [*]Please don't have characters already dating each other at first! If they have a significant other at home, cool, but otherwise no. [*]Relationships may be based on the sexuality of the character. [*]Don't argue about the pairings that people create. If the owners of both characters agree on it, it's not a problem. That being said, please make sure that any relationships that occur come naturally, alright? Thanks. [/list] Character Sheet [b]Name: Age: Species: Ethnicity [if human]: Sexuality: Gender: Element: Appearance: Personality: History before the crystal:[/b] Keep these notes in mind: -This world is modern like our own, or at least it was until almost everything was destroyed. -There are elements of an ancient world and an ancient religion that still exist to this day. The islands are floating above what would have been the present-day Kazakhstan.The city from which the Beacons fled was in modern-day Turkey. -The year is around 2050. -The Beacons were crystallized at random, and should have had some sort of flash of what their element is. -Beacons were frozen for about 3 years, since they were frozen by the time the Entity appeared. -This RP is based on a couple of things- including the Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. Feel free to do some research before or after signing up! Bestiary: Grublins are strange creatures who look like mutated, overgrown house flies- see this image for reference: [URL]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/spyro/images/1/11/Grublin_Fly1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110714034006[/URL] Grublins typically carry some form of melee weapon and are weak by themselves. However, be careful when you have a swarm of them. Golems are very rare, but they are huge. See this image: [URL]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/spyro/images/d/dc/Golem.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100510191109[/URL] They are about the size of large buildings, and often live in the underground. Golems have long tails that can be used as weapons, but be mindful of their fists too! Wyverns are a type of dragon-like Grublin, shown here: [URL]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/spyro/images/e/e8/Wyvern.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100602183808[/URL] They are able to breathe waves of wind and shadow that can be very painful if they make contact with you. We also have Orcs- [URL]http://smuggledpixel.free.fr/spyro/Jasp_Spyro_OrcBowman02.jpg[/URL] These buggers have crossbows, and are a pain to fight from a distance. And lastly, there are Trolls- large enemies who are able to either hit you hard or create shockwaves by jumping. [URL]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/spyro/images/1/16/Troll_%28LoS%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120814053614[/URL] Here they are. With that out of the way, welcome! You are now one of these Crystal Beacons, training to save the world! ...Or something like that. The Entity, however, is unknown. Nobody had managed to get a real look at it and survive. For now, it must remain a mystery.

(Do I have to have a Discord? I’d love to join, but I don’t have a Discord nor will I probably ever will. If I don’t need one, here’s my form:
Name: Felicity
Age: 18 for the sake of the RP (is that alright? In my original universe, she’s, like, 21-22 if that really makes a difference)
Species: human
Ethnicity [if human]: I’m just gonna put American in here, I guess (another thing of my original universe: it’s in a fantasy world where real-world places/cultures don’t exist) (sorry if I didn’t answer the question correctly...)
Sexuality: straight
Gender: female
Element: ice
Appearance: pale skin, green eyes, and long, dark purple (dyed) hair with silver (dyed) bangs(?). She’ll probably just have on this black hoodie with some jeans and sneakers. Link to my drawing of her: https://www.deviantart.com/puppy-luvr06/art/Dusk-800695014
Personality: a quiet thinker, who normally kind of just rolls with everyone else as long as she believes in what their cause is. Doesn’t really want to be violent or hurt people, though “kind” and “nice” aren’t the first things anyone would think of her. She sets off the image of a foe, and lets others see her that way. Only once has she risked her life for someone, by turning on her boss behind his back, and she was never really thanked for it. Really she just does what she has to do to survive, knowing she can’t always get out of fighting her getting her hands dirty.
History before the crystal: Felicity was a girl that kind of just slunk into the shadows and stayed relatively safe. She had loving parents, a little sister, and a dog. Then when her sister strayed a little too far from home, well...suffice to say only her sister made it back home safely. Now, though, she’s wishing she could remember her sister’s face; or anything about her, besides her playful personality.

@Mikasa361 Hi! I'm interested in joining but I haven't finished reading everything yet. Because I saw something that made me chuckle and I had to correct you: [quote]Ice- Those who wield ice can drop the temperature of the air around them and withstand temperatures up to -3 degrees Celsius[/quote] I think you meant -30°C, 'cause -3°C and snow can still melt. Humans are surprisingly resilient to cold. To quote the internet: "At minus 30 F (minus 34 C), an otherwise healthy person who isn't properly dressed for the cold could experience hypothermia in as little as 10 minutes, Glatter said. At minus 40 to minus 50 F (minus 40 to minus 45 C), hypothermia can set in in just 5 to 7 minutes, he said." Now I'll go back to writing my character sheets.

Name: Lily Sulan
Age: 16
Species: Human
Ethnicity: German/Turkish
Sexuality: Strait
Gender: Female
Element: Fire
Appearance: Lily has long, wavy, dirty blond hair in a braided bun and hazel and green eyes. She's rather short at 1,60m in height. She has slightly tanned skin and some freckles on her cheeks and her shoulders.
She prefers casual clothing such as sportswear, sweaters, jeans and T-shirts. She dislikes skirts and might even show up at important events in a suit if left to her own device.
Personality: She's brash but very friendly with everyone, unless they do something she disapproves of. She act like an overgrown child at times, but is in fact very situationally and socially aware. She has a lot of kindness to give but can be brutally honest (or simply brutal) if she thinks it will be beneficial in the long run.
History before the crystal: She lived in Germany with her parents and twin brother until the night she disappeared. That night the twins and some of their friends went on a camping trip. She had a massive argument with her twin and the fire they had made earlier grew with her every word and went out of control. It was quickly dowsed but not before burning one of their friend's arm. Feeling terrible, she ran into the forest and was never seen again.

Name: Emile Sulan
Age: 16
Species: Human
Ethnicity: German/Turkish
Sexuality: Strait
Gender: Male
Element: Wind
Appearance: Emile has short, wavy, dirty blond hair and hazel and green eyes. He's rather tall at 1,82m in height. He has some freckles on his shoulders.
He usually wears sweaters or shirts with jeans.
Personality: He is cold to strangers and takes his time warming up to others. Once a friend, however, and he is very loyal. He finds a purpose in protecting his twin Lily (even from herself) and is willing to take morally ambiguous actions to do so. He wants to become a vet or a doctor.
History before the crystal: (Same as Lily) He lived in Germany with his parents and twin sister until the night he disappeared. That night the twins and some of their friends went on a camping trip. He had a massive argument with his twin and ran after her when she escaped into the forest. After getting frustrated by the branches, a sudden gust of wind blew them away. Before he could make sense of what happened, he lost consciousness. He was never heard from again.

@Zaviei

: 0 I totally missed that, good call.

Also if you could post this on a google doc in the discord that’d be super helpful! c:

@PuppyLuvr06

It’s preferred tbh. :0 But if enough people don’t have a discord I can make an OOC thread, I just have a discord since it’s much easier to communicate with everyone! :)

@Mikasa361

Alright. Will I still be able to participate, though? Sorry if I’m being an inconvenience or being annoying or anything...-_-

@PuppyLuvr06

Of course! I can make this the OOC for those who don't have a discord. XD
