It is the year 3030 in the world of Odox. But before we go on, let's have a closer look at this world: [u][b]History of Odox[/b][/u] All that we know of Odox' history, we have read in the Book of Lore. In ancient times, Odox was not just populated by humans but by various creatures that we can only dream or fantasy of. Or so the Book says, at least. Not all habitants of Odox believe the content of this Book to be true and others see it as a fictional tale to tell to their children. Either way, the Book has little information on anything before the year 3000. In 2080, a virus affected a large part of mankind in various ways. Some were given extraordinary abilities by the virus while others changed in appearance drastically. Regardless of the changes, these infected people were deemed sick and got isolated from the healthy. As a result, most of the "Carriers" (as they were referred to) hid their infection from the public. But things improved for the Carriers, as in the year 3000 science proved that the virus was not contagious. In certain parts of Odox, the Carriers could now walk freely without having to hide. However, while the region of Skylora generally accepted the Carriers among them, the region of Frisk seemed to remain hostile towards them. Present day, 3030, President Steel of the region Frisk has an army of Cyborgs hunting down all Carriers in Frisk in order to experiment on them as if they were lab rats. Steel justifies his actions by saying he wants to cure them but in reality he aggressively takes them against their will. Meanwhile several groups of Carriers have started to get organized in the fear that Steel will invade Skylora as well. [u][b]Factions[/b][/u] Skylora: ✺ The Skyloran: The humans of Skylora under the leadership of female President Dawnmist. They generally accept Carriers among them (with the exception of the city Midizi) ✺ Freedom Fighters: A group of Carriers that works together with the humans of Skylora in order to keep the peace. Squad A is currently assigned to prepare for a battle with Frisk. ✺ Rising Underground: A group of Carriers that rebel against all humans, Skyloran and Friskians alike. They mostly have appearance mutations and feel as if they are less accepted than Carriers with invisible abilities. They mostly still hide from human sight when they can. Frisk: ✺ The Friskians: The humans of Frisk under the leadership of President Steel. They are hostile towards Carriers. (Some Friskians live in Midizi) ✺ Cyborgs: The army of Steel that was trained to capture Carriers and bring them to the laboratory for experiments. ✺ Slaves: Friskian Carriers. Either hidden, hunted down or already captured. [u][b]Rules[/b][/u] ➸ Decent grammar, no one-liners, no godmoding, ... You know. ➸ Try to aim for at least one post a week. ➸ If you have an invisible ability (most abilities are), you are likely a Freedom Fighter. If you have an appearance mutation (like having a tail), you are likely a Rising Underground. ➸ Don't make your ability overpowered. ------------- [u][b]Character Sheet[/b][/u] Full name (including nicknames, codenames, etc): Age: Gender: Faction (Skyloran, Freedom Fighter, Rising Underground, Friskian, Cyborg, Slave): Appearance: Ability (if Carrier): Personality (both positive and negative traits): Brief background: [u][b]My character[/b][/u] Full name: Kjolmar Delacroix Age: 25 Gender: male Faction: Freedom Fighter (Squad A) - Spokesperson Appearance: Bright-blue eyes, blond hair, slightly tanned skin. Average height, rather thin. Often dressed formal and classy. Ability: Kjolmar can fly and has improved reflexes and battle skills while he's up in the air with the possibility to create small whirlwinds. He can put the foe under a temporary disorientated hypnosis by making eye contact, stealing their energy in the process. He can then blast this energy as an attack. (He can not hypnotize Cyborgs.) Personality (both positive and negative traits): At first sight, Kjolmar is a charming and charismatic person. He is a polite diplomat and this makes him popular among both humans and Carriers. The downside is that he often has to be insincere because he is a public figure and he can't fall out of his role. This could make one question his true motives. Brief background: Kjolmar is one of the leading Carriers in the Freedom Fighters. While being a public figure, his primary task is communication with the Skyloran humans through their media. As the face of peace, he needs to reassure the Skyloran that the Rising Underground rumors are exaggerated. With the newest threat coming from Frisk, a good understanding with the Skyloran is more important than ever. Kjolmar and the other Freedom Fighters have plans to liberate the Slaves in Frisk but how will the Skyloran react to the rumors that the Rising Underground is part of the plan? ------------- [u][b]NPC's[/b][/u] ∾ President Dawnmist of Skylora ∾ Nubius, spokesperson of Rising Underground and manager of Club Medusa, blue fur and spikes on his arms.
