[u][b]End Arena / End Merlin[/b][/u]
SETTING

October 26th, 2015, you would have woken up that day as you do any other. Stepping from rest, addressing ever-evolving issues, accomplishing a sense of fulfillment by end of all typical rhythms. Regrettably, Earth's human population had no such luxury by time of dawn EST.

At 7:37 A.M., an ominous female voice can be telepathically heard by all humans of Earth. Her words are as follows: "Don't die, don't cry, the games have begun. Laugh and rejoice, for here I come. Now children, your first test starts. Stop extinction."

By 8:30 A.M., half of Earth's sentient population have been claimed by a supernatural plague. Victims of said plague are transformed into ghoul-like creatures with profound speed and strength.

By 9:30 A.M., Earth's moon transforms into an obelisk lined by multi-colored symbols. Said symbols don't correlate with any known language, though appear similar to ancient nordic runes. The sky darkens to continuously mimic the deep colors of near-dark twilight despite the current time of day.

By 10:20 A.M., satellite communication of all kinds have ceased. Nearly all world superpowers are relatively collapsed, the Mexican cartel is one of few surviving groups maintaining an active communications network.

By 11:11 A.M., they arrive. Those magic few whom promised Merlin they would come when 'End Times' can no longer be prevented. They pursue stopping the apocalypse. All previously dormant supernatural/mythical evils have also been reawakened and revitalized. Anything and everything that could have been under your bed probably is at this time. 

By 11:20 A.M., you're discovered by one of the aforementioned 'magic few'. They do a horrible job of explaining things, especially the detail about you being one of Earth's few 'remaining saviors'. Wherever you found refuge was either well-hidden or did a fine job of keeping you safe these past four hours, but the scope of Earth's current horror has still been made at least somewhat real to you. 


[hider=CHARACTER CREATION INFO]

Your character is an average person from modern day Earth. They can live anywhere and be anyone, so long as their existence isn't in any way supernatural. We can determine what forms of magic/abilities they'll be obtaining beforehand but they won't be receiving anything until the RP begins.

Powers are determined by the item given when one of the Magic Few arrives. These are called 'Relic's', there's much to them but I'll explain what you NEED to know here. Each relic is comprised of three traits titled: shape, substance, and link.

SHAPE: The idea behind your relic, the form it takes while performing any given task. This shape can anything simple such as 'blade' or 'tree'. Some are more complicated and represent thoughts such as 'gate to an eternal garden' or 'rampaging beast'.

SUBSTANCE: This is the driving force of your relic, in other words, the energy behind it's motion. The substance is more of an elemental force than something of shape, things along the lines of 'shadow' or 'fire'. To put it into perspective, if my Relic had the shape of 'blade' with the substance of 'shadow' than I would be using a 'shadow-blade' to perform tasks. For the more complicated notion of a 'gate to an eternal garden' paired with 'fire', than I would be using a gate which leads to a garden of volcanic fauna and blazing vines. A relic contains no more than one substance to start.

LINK: This is the physical shape your Relic takes. Your link could be anything from weaponry to jewelry, so long as it's worn or carried it's probably suitable as a link. The form of your link may also play a role in your relic's abilities and functions. The master of said link has their physical capabilities roughly doubled alongside further developments after prolonged use.

EXAMPLE RELIC:
Shape: Demon Legion
Substance: Shadow
Link: Demon Kabuki Mask
Function: The wielder of this relic may use shadow to create demon legionnaires adorning the same mask as said user. These legionnaires would improve as said users affinity with the relic grows overtime.

There's a lot more to it but you'll pick up on the rest as this RP progresses. I'll be the one to set your Relic's limitations and rates for improvement after we've both discussed their powers and come to mutual conclusions.

You may modify the character sheet as you please so long as your modifications include more info than before. The relic section may not be modified unless asked by myself and presented with the modification. If you're idea is really good I'll likely change the base CS format to match it. :D

[hider=GENERAL INFO]

[End Arena: Earth is now the playground of an apocalypse that was meant to happen hundreds of years ago. This evil wishes to make a game of it's awakening, choosing a select few humans to participate in it's game with a potential reward of stopping humanities extinction. Powerful beings have come to assist those few, providing them with powers and training for what's to come. I'll work with you to design a magic/supernatural power to fit your character in this setting.]

[Notes: I created this RP with the intention of it being 1x1 but making it a group RP could be quite a lot of fun from my perspective. For this to be a group RP, I would need a co-GM for stuff so feel free to offer. If anyone's willing to make this work, or if I get enough PM's, this will be a thread in the Casual forums in no time. There's a lot of thought behind this Rp's setting, which means there will be plenty for you to dig into once you're characters been made! :D]
