[b]Plot[/b] [hider]Hello, and welcome to the world of Earth! This is the same Earth you have come to know and love, yes the very same one. There are a few differences that you might not remember... such as the year. It is the year 2068. Here, new technologies have appeared all throughout the world. One of the most interesting, and the most successful, was The Fourth Dimension. In Japan, there was a technology center who was enthralled by the thought of seeing the Fourth Dimension. They then thought there could be more, such as seeing it, smelling it even. With technology rapidly improving, they figured it would only take them a few years to invent a simulation of their dreams. They finished sooner than they expected, and with a much more different technology than they had planned. It was no longer a simulator, but rather, a procedure. People are now capable of having procedures done to allow them to interact with the Fourth Dimension. Not everyone can interact with all aspects of the Fourth Dimension, each person can only interact with one. Sight. Sound. Smell. Taste. The technology helped with everyday life so well, absolutely everyone in the world had it done. Even poor people! No one decided what they got, but no one cared either. What they got they used, and it worked better than all of their other senses combined! But, an unseen horror has risen. No one suspected this day would come, but it has. Due to literally everyone in the world messing with the Fourth Dimension, monsters have appeared where the technology was invented, in Tyoko Japan. These monsters are literal Fourth Dimensional Beings. If you can't see the Fourth Dimension, you can't see them. And almost no one can see them. Those who can seem to be their first targets. Then those who can hear them. Then smell. The monster have appeared more and more, and not one has been killed. Japan has tried sending in soldiers to do the work, but not even tanks could stop them. The only hope for the world are a band of new heros! New heros that can not only see, but also hear, and smell, and [i]feel[/i] them! These heros appear to be everyday people, but years after their procedures they start to interact with the fourth dimension in more ways than one. Their combined abilities allow them to do things no one else can. Including fight back. It is up to these new found saviors to stop these monsters! Will you help them, or let humanity fall?[/hider] [b]Rules[/b] [hider] 1. No Powergaming. This means don't control other characters without permission, or complete understanding. 2. No Metagamin. If your character doesn't know it's happening, pretend it doesn't exist! 3. No Godmodding! I can't stress this enough here. Our characters are STRONG, but not gods. Remember, even the army has had problems with these things! 4. Be nice! 5. You MUST pick your first ability. [s]You can, however, choose to start the RP with all of your abilities.[/s] This has been 'ruled out' get it? Haha! Yeah. Okay. You may pick UP TO TWO abilities! Remember, everyone may only have one ability... but they've learned this second ability later in life, as they are special. 6. Mention the Fourth Dimensional Toe Cheese to be accepted! This is to prove you've read the rules. 7. What moderators say, goes! 8. Rules are meant to be written, more may be added without notice! You will be notified. 9. Two characters only! Sorry! IN THE FUTURE, players will be allowed to own more. There's just too many at this point, and not enough build up. 10. Follow the APP Rules! 11. Mention Kristof's undeniably sexy mustache in your app, or prepare to be 'stached! [s]12. No posting after midnight! This is especially true if it's midnight anywhere in the world.[/s] [/hider] [b]Map[/b] [hider] Keep in mind 'To Lunchroom' is pointing towards where the Lunchroom will be. I just haven't drawn it yet. Same for 'To Long Distance Deployment'. 'Deploy Entrance' is meant to be 'Short Distance Deploy Entrance', and will be expanded upon as more areas are added. 'Branton's Office' is right where it says it is, but it hasn't been drawn yet. The 'Break Room' is where it is said to be, but I haven't figured out what I want it to look like yet.

Those who can see in the Fourth Dimension are capable of seeing many things. They can see through walls, though it may be hard to distinguish what they are seeing. They can see new colors that other's cant. [u][i]Sound[/i][/u] Those who can hear have a powerful gift. They can hear sounds better than most, and are capable of reading weak minds. They are capable of hearing sounds others cant. [u][i]Energy[/i][/u] Fourth Dimensional energy is another rare gift. It is not quiet hot and cold, or physical and ethereal touch. There is another form of energy not comprehensible. Most call it Magic, but that is too simple a term. [u][i]Smell[/i][/u] Smelling is very common to those not blessed with the ability of all Fourth Dimensional powers. Smell can be used to locate any type of object, or person. Even if you haven't smelled it before, you will instinctively know where it is. They are capable of smelling smells others cant. [u][i]Taste[/i][/u] Taste is the most common and useless ability there is. It is possible for those with taste to know what effects something will have, and be immune to most poisons. Those who can taste the fourth dimension are capable of tasting new flavors others cant. [/hider] [b]Application Rules[/b] [hider] These are the rules for your app! Please follow all of them, or your app will be instantly denied! If you want to break one of the rules, you may send a PM, or discuss it in the OOC first. If you think a rule is too crazy, you may point it out, and we will discuss it in a formal fashion. 1. Follow the format. Please don't spread everything out so your app looks bigger. It makes things harder to read, and generally messy. 2. No more weapons! If you MUST have a weapon, make a LOGICAL STORY FOR IT. A hunter, may have a hunting weapon. But, can they carry it throughout the streets like madmen? No! 3. Make bios for your characters! I am setting the minimum to two paragraphs, and there must be a PERSONAL STORY for each character! 4. It says BIO, not PERSONALITY. Read the app carefully! 5. If your picture is bigger than a player's avatar, put it in a hider! 6. Put your application in a hider as well please! 7. Do NOT put your character under the Characters section! This is reserved for FULLY ACCEPTED RPers only! You may only have A SINGLE POST under the Characters section to hold all of your apps! If you have so many apps, or such big bios, that they literally physically computerlly can't fit, you may have a second post.
