[center][i] Welcome to the one and only Smile Asylum, home of the mentally, and magically, insane! We know that we will enjoy your stay here, and we hope you will too![/i][/center] [center][img=http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/200H/i/2010/183/9/2/Welcome_To_The_Madhouse_II_by_xxLilMizCadyxx.jpg] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/49638/posts/ooc?page=1#post-1502500] OOC [/url][/center] In the year 2016, a wonderful and [i]magical[/i] discovery was made. A man named Pete McVries was checked into the looney bin (to be specific Abraham Stebben's Center for the Clinically Insane). The poor sod Pete had suffered a brutal plane crash. The plane crashed in the middle of nowhere, and when it crash landed everyone was either dead or bleeding out. Except ol' Pete McVries. He was alive and well, but there was a catch. He was stuck under a hulk scrap of metal that had once made up the skeleton of the air plane. He could not move, couldn't shift position, he was helplessly trapped. This also meant, he couldn't go get food or water. There was a food cart, filled to the brim with food and drink, just out of his reach. If he had arms just a few inches longer, he could have reached it. When help finally arrived, five days later, poor Pete was found insane with grief that he was just out of reach of the food cart. And that was that, he was put in an Asylum. Or so they thought. A couple days later, new of Pete popped again. Pete had the sudden ability of telekenises. The government kept this hush hush and swept it under the rug, but they did research it. Scientists said that ol Pete McVries had gotten this newfound ability because when he went insane, a certain DNA molecule snapped. But somehow that Molecule connected to a different DNA strand, and this gave him his newfound ability. Fast forward to 2042. Insane people all over are being given these powers which have been coined, "magic," even though it's pure science. Insanes have developed an unwritten language in which they communicate to eachother with. Three large asylums have popped up to contain these "magically insane" people, as people were scared: what are insane people going to do with epic powers? These three asylums are: The Brookes Foundation Asylum, Smile Asylum, and Majikku Asylum. These asylums were respectively based in Dubai, India, San Francisco, California, and Tokyo, Japan. These asylums are not really asylums, but more of prisons, and they are well equipped to contain these prisoners. People wanted to just flat out kill all the insanes, which is what they are being called now (insanes), but congress passed the bill that said they were to contain them on the grounds that they were insane. These asylums have towering walls that are impossible to scale, and are five meters of pure cinder block to keep in the insanes. Snipers man four towers that are on the outside of the walls that look in on prisoners, and guards on the walls use M16s are looking at all times. No guards are inside the prison itself, as that would be rather dangerous, and everything is done by machine; serving food, cleaning and hygeine, etc. Video Cameras are everywhere, shielded by two layers of unbreakable and bullet-proof glass, and if tampered with will lead to your execution. Insanes have found ways to cover these cameras and get away with it, because if they don't see anyone do it, they can't punish anyone. Now, our roleplay will take place in the Smile Asylum. Theres been talk among the insanes of rebellion, of breaking out of the prison. And once they're out? They'll do exactly what humanity feared: try to take over the world. Okay, to clear some things up: we insanes can understand each other through the language we have created. This will bypass some hiccups about how insane people can talk to eachother. Enter le CS: [b] Name:[/b] Firstname "Nickname, which you should probably have since it's kind of a prison" Last Name [b] Appearance:[/b] Anime\Cartoon\Drawing preferred, but real picture is okay as well. I don't really want descriptions. [b] Anything different from picture above?:[/b] Tattoos, Scars, Birthmarks, etc. [b] Magic Power:[/b] What power does your character posess? Is he a pyrokinetic? Can he control electricity? Nothing to OP, I will trust your judgement, but reserve the right to refuse a character if his power is overpowered. [b] How he/she became insane: [/b] How did your character become insane? This should have some correlation with your power, for instance, a pyromancer might have had his family burned down in a house. [b] Insanity Traits: [/b] What does insanity entail for your character? Does he have an alter ego? Does he have an obsession with a certain object? Things like that. [b] Country of origin: [/b] We all speak the self-made insane language, but where does your character come from? You can be as specific as city or as vague as country. [b] Backstory/History: [/b] Any specific events that have happened in your character's life? This doesn't have to be too long, just brief things about your character, and don't have to include how he became insane. [b] Personality:[/b] IC speaks louder than CSes, so just a couple of quick words are all we need. [b] How long has your character been in Smile Asylum?:[/b] Are you fresh meat, or have you been in the asylum since it all began? [b] Trinkets:[/b] Smile Asylum allows for your character to bring one trinket with them as long as it's not toxic or a weapon. What did your character bring, if anything? A locket, a chain, a picture? v WIP down below v [b] Locations: [/b] These are notable locations in the Smile Asylum that are open to exploration. [hider=The Kroos Ward] [img=http://kremator.theblahman.net/Asylum/asylum04.jpg] An abandoned part of the Asylum. No one knows why this wing was abandoned. Some say it was a deadly plague called the Red Death, that swept through patients and turned caused them to violently hemorrhage out of their eyes and mouth. Some say a spirit named Usagi Fuyu roams the halls of the abandoned wing and kills anybody it meets. No one knows for sure, but there's got to be something in there that caused it to be abandoned.[/hider] [hider=Underground Piping Tunnels][img=http://coyote.astro.columbia.edu/~koglin/images/RaMCaF_TunnelPipe2.jpg] A series of passageways that run under the asylum. They house the plumbing and piping for all of the asylum, and used to be used as maintennance tunnels. Inmates use them to make their way quickly across the asylum. Access in and out of the tunnels is through grates periodically spaced along the floor.[/hider] [hider=Warden's Vault] [img=http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101106100150/fallout/images/1/18/FNV_Vault_19_Door.png] Located at the center of the Asylum, this is a vault with the number '19' stamped at the center (which is strange because there are no other numbers/vaults around the asylum). Nothing has ever been confirmed about this area (as no one has ever been inside), but it's rumored to be where the warden lives and controls the asylum. No one has ever seen the warden, but it's rumored he's in there, watching the cameras, controlling the robots, and giving orders. The vault door has 63 different locks, mechanical and electronic, and once you get through the vault door, a finger scanner and a retina scanner. In other words, it's damn near impossible to get into this vault.[/hider] [center] [b] [u] Rules [/b] [/u] [/center] [list][*]General stuff: No godmodding, meta RPing, ghosting, all that jazz. It doesn't make sense for your character who's never used a gun, pick up a handheld pistol and snipe 5 professional guards, all headshots, from 2 miles away, without trouble. So, always think, does it make sense for my character to do this? Basic stuff, but still want to put it out there. [/*] [*]You can only have one character. I know strict, but I've had a few problems in the past with it. One character, bottom line.[/*] [*]When choosing your power keep in mind this. Firstly, making something out of nothing is a big no-no. You cannot conjure up some food out of nowhere The only time I could think of it being okay for your power to allow you to conjure something out of nothing is fire (exciting particles in the air), and ice.[/*] [*]These powers are forbidden: regeneration, mind controlling/mind reading, intangibility, teleportation, predicting the future, any power that gives you the ability to influence another character's deciscion, any kind of power that allow for you to make an ultramega powerful attack that can blast through five meters or more of pure cinderblock with ease, or any power that allows for you to block such an attack. This is an order to make it so our characters aren't OP assholes.[/*][/list]
