Alrighty, I have the whole plot and npcs and characters fleshed out now.

INTRO SUMMARY OF STORY:

Long ago, an asteroid called Aceteria hit planet Terra's surface, causing debris to settle on the planet's atmosphere. The planet absorbed this into its soil, and when life grew again organisms started slowly mutating... either becoming monsters, super organisms, or not affected by the alien substance at all.

Millions of years later...

The planet is calling out and needs help. There have been too many monsters and the balance between those who have turned monsters, are super organisms, or are neither has gone awry. Terra wants to rid this disease and with the help of the protagonists, the spirit of the planet will come forth and give them power to help annihilate what's left of the asteroid and the chemicals that it still produces.

[B]Choose your faction:

Protagonist (for the planet)

Neutral

Antagonist (For Aceteria)[/B]
---

In this world there is also bounty hunters as well that take care of the monsters. They're like the military force. You can choose to be super human and human, human or humanoid, it's up to you.

[B]FAQ:
[/B]
What is the level of technology and magic in this roleplay?

There is technology and magic is limited. You can for instance see a city with a subway or police force. But " magic" goes so far as lighting up a saber in fire, or lighting up arrows in light. Or regenerating faster than normal, etc. Super human power or strength, etc.

Technology is not so advanced. This world is not modern, yet it's not medieval or steam punk either. IT's it's own time, more like there is lots of free land and where creatures may roam.

Would it be out of place to be a tribal character?

No, infact, you can say that technology has been kind of halted cause humans are constantly having to fight the monsters. Technology goes as far as trains and cities and a military force, but the rest is 'super' powered or a monster. When you're super powered, you can choose what your power is but you can't be all powerful. Magic goes as far as lighting up weaponry with elemental energy or healing tonics but that's pretty much it. If you have some kind of cool story that involves magic somehow in an approvable way, for sure add it to your cs and I'll approve or disapprove

What races are there?

It's mostly human, super human, or monster for now. Or basically humanoid.
Yeah you can do that, you can change into an animal. It can be part of your tribe's thing

Can you have magic and become a monster? Or are all monsters unintelligible beasts? Do monsters keep their intelligence? What's the difference between a monster and a super organism?

Good questions. The monsters are mad, they are beserked. They have their own ranks of strength and power. Yes there are monsters who have magic. Monsters are thoughtless and mad, crazy they can't control themselves. But on the other hand, super organisms can control themselves and have a conscious. So you can be a bad super organism, or on the bad side. Does this make sense? To clairfy, just make your character have a few powers and stick to it. The toxin affects everybody differently. So you can have one person shoot fireballs cause thats what the mutation gave them, while another person has ice powers cause thats what the mutation gave them. You can be creative, and I'll approve if it's acceptable.

The characters and Main NPCS of this roleplay are:

-ACETERIA:

Not much is known about Aceteria, if at all.

It is waiting for the right people to gather at the right time, and waiting for the world to become a gap between monsters and super humans. It wants to see death. It wants to see suffering.

Aceteria believes it's doing the right thing and is furthering the evolution of the species of Terra. It wants to see the super organisms and monsters succeed and conquer the earth.



-SPIRIT OF TERRA:

The Spirit of Terra like Aceteria knows what's going on everywhere in the world and watches over the planet silently. err

Spirit of Terra and Aceteria are at war,

Spirit of Terra wants to speak to the protagonists to end the war and win for the planet to return back to before it mutated from Aceteria. Aceteria is a poison to the planet.

The spirt of Terra has helpers. These are npcs.

----

Example of a character:

My OC Anna Winterfrost:

Name: Anna Winterfrost

Race: Human / Super

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Status/ Role :Bounty hunter
[b]
Appearance:[/b] Long black fine hair that goes down to her back. Dark, almond eyes that are very watchful. Stern face with a little chin, medium sized nose with a notch in the middle, medium sized puckered lips with a fuller lip on the bottom. Stands at 5'7", wears silver metal armor with etchings on them with no head piece. Feels she does not need a head piece. Wears silver chain mail underneath to protect her further from harm. Wears metal arm braces for shielding and metal silver long boots that jut out from the shin. Has very pale milk like skin, and blushes a cherry-strawberry like red.

History: Born and raised as an only child in her middle class family, Anna was looked upon to carry on the family name and be married and give birth to children. But Anna did not want this for her life. She could not stand knowing all she had to do was be married and lived a settled life. Ever since she was young, Anna picked up the sword when she was 10 years old for fun. She didn't take it seriously, but as a teenager when her parents informed her of the path they desired for her, she stuck to her sword and practiced it relentlessly. She's become very skilled at the present age of 25. She kind of developed a rock of feelings for the lifestyle her parents wanted her to have. This has caused a ruckus in her family and she has not left on good terms with them. She's not concentrated on anything other than swordsmanship since and keeps herself focused.

Her father was a warrior and bounty hunter and also a master of the sword, but he did not want this life style for his child. He wanted Anna to have a life that was more relaxed, calm, and serene. Anna knew that she wanted to become a bounty hunter, she knew she wanted to have an adventurous lifestyle and journey the world and protect those who could not protect themselves. She must have inherited this from her father. Disregarding her family's wishes she went through for training. Being graudated through the training militant school, she is now on her own making a living through bounty hunting. Using her own wits, battling warped souls such as monsters and the like, and doing work for civilians. Anna is searching for a master to complete her swordsmanship skills and work skills. She scours the land in search of a master as she completes her missions.

Just a regular human bounty hunter is not rare but only some are successful. In this land are humanoid characters as well. Born and raised in the town called Newberg, a average size town in a valley between mountains, the town of Newberg looks up to warriors and bounty hunters and recruits them. Just as there are towns that specialize in knowledge or healing, her town was known for specializing in military. This could have furthered her sense of feeling like becoming a bounty hunter as well, was because she grew up in a town that specialized and looked up to them even though her father did not want this lifestyle for her.

Personality: Anna is a reserved person, kind of quiet and watchful. She is proper, chivalrous, and feels she has a duty to protect those who are weaker than her. She is kind of shy at first when meeting people, is slow to talk in the beginning and is hesitant at allowing others to get to know her at first. But underneath it all, she loves to meet people and make friends. She wants to share herself with someone she can trust, not just anyone for that matter. She can be cheerful and optimistic, but sometimes gets clouded in her own thoughts and worries. Has a good sense of judgement but can be muddled.

Weakness: Can get muddled within her own thought and judgement. She's just understanding her powers and is becoming super-human, so she's new to understanding this kind of feeling. This can put her at a disadvantage from people who know their powers and potential already. She is human and still can get sick and get wounds.

Weapons: A long sword that her father gave her as a present before she left to journey on her own. It's nothing special, just a an average long sword that does the job but she could use a better one. ([url]http://minimumwagehistorian.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/long_sword1.jpg[/url] metal armor She could use a helmet, but she'll buy that in time. Also a sack of goods and supplies such as tonics, potions, and food and water casket.

Abilities: Able to carry potions and tonics, but cannot heal herself through special powers. She can regenerate fast, but she is still susceptible to wounds. She is fast and pretty well footed though she wears metal armor and chain mail. Her long sword can radiate energy such as fire or thunder, etc which is her superhuman power. How does she do this? By taking energy from her surroundings and using it either steadily to light up her sword or in bursts of energy she shoots out from her sword.

Anything else: To be revealed in rp

Places in Hemingway:

1)There is a Bounty office where one registers and signs up for bounties and trades their deeds for coin money.

2)There is the marketplace, very lively and full of artisans and craftsmen who want to sell you their trinkets, armory, weaponry, and items. Open street.

3) You can think of other places within the city of Hemingway! Use your imagination and see what could fit in this city.

Name: The First of the House of Sunfire (to address him, call Esquire Sunfire. His former name is Lucian.)

Race: Normal Human (Unaffected by Aceteria)

Age: 15

Status/Role: Strategist / Tactician

Gender: Male

Appearance:
Esquire Sunfire is about 1.62 metres tall.


History: The House of Sunfire is a famous dynasty that has served as guardians for Gainsborough for even longer than the appearance of Aceteria. However, the appearance of Aceteria has driven the House of Sunfire into pieces.

Lucian had never expected to take on the title as The First of the House of Sunfire, designating him as heir to their name. In fact, he was 6th in line to the title, and therefore spent most of his time in books rather than training for war. However, the 5 brothers and sisters before his name would fall victim to Aceteria's corruption, whether they died at the hands of monsters or became them. (He does not remember when or how they turned/died) Only his older sister by 3 years, Aqua, survived the corruption of Aceteria with enough of her mind intact.

When he took on the title of The First, Esquire Sunfire would overrule his father's decision to kill Aqua. He believed that Aqua could control herself, and the strange new thoughts that came with a monstrous new body. He asked for 10 years to prove it, and his father accepted the decision. Esquire Sunfire would bring Aqua around the world, relying on her strength to protect the world from monsters and trying his best to make sure she had complete control of herself.

Personality: Esquire Sunfire has the strange quality of both being a military strategist and being naive and trusting. Sunfire loves the world for what it sees are its positive qualities, and believes that everyone has a chance to do good, even if they have to be persuaded/convinced/bribed to do so. He would protect the weak, clothe the sick and heal the poor if he could. He is the McCoy of the group. He will stand fast where everyone else has given up.

Weaknesses: Sunfire will never give up on lost causes unless physically removed from the scene. He has the sense of honour that would get him killed if not for his sister's presence. He's also very unfit for physical combat, as compared to supers or even normals. If injured, he has a tendency to cry. He can also be described as being 'too clever by half', believing his natural intelligence makes him a better person morally, though all he would do to judge the morals of others is to chastise them for giving up too quickly. (He doesn't lecture them.)

Weapons: None.

Abilities: Sharp as a tack, Sunfire is quick to notice and analyse things. If given command of anything, Sunfire will perform competently, though his command may be a little too timid so as to preserve his forces.
Name: Aqua Sunfire

Race: Super Organism (Severely affected by Aceteria)

Age: 18

Status/Role: Brute / Front-Liner

Gender: Female

Appearance: Aqua is about 2 metres tall. Due to her hard scales, she wears only a white T-shirt and black pants, relying on her natural armour to protect herself.


History: Aqua was a typical nobleman's daughter before her mutation. The 5th child of Lord Sunfire and his only daughter, she was to be wed with a handsome man from the House of Sandhurst. However, during a picnic with all her 5 brothers, she and 2 of her other brothers began to turn. Though 4 of her brothers would either be torn apart or lose their minds, she would maintain enough coherence of thought to protect Lucian and kill all her mutated brothers.

Lucian, while barely remembering the incident, probably had it in the depths of his repressed memories when he spoke out so forcefully, so in favour of keeping his sister alive and around.

Personality: Aqua's personality is hard to discern to outsiders besides being surly and quiet. She finds it easier to growl than to talk in her new form, so she typically growls to make a point and only speaks when she really needs to. (Esquire Sunfire can figure out what she means when she growls most of the time.) She cares for her brother alot, and would defend him or advise him when she thinks he's making a mistake. Aqua, unlike her brother, is highly cynical and believes that the only way to guarantee good behaviour from others is showing dominance. She gets angry rather easily, though not at things like being called a monster. (She gets upset when someone insults her brother, though she gets quite annoyed as well when her brother does something she considers stupid.)

Weaknesses: Aqua can only speak one syllable at a time, in noises that both sound like growls and words that befits a beast rather than a human girl. She eats a lot, and is wholly carnivorous. She also gets distracted whenever Esquire Sunfire's safety is threatened. Though she has 4 eyes, she sees only in black and white.

Abilities: Hard scales, natural weapons, bulk and muscular speed. She's highly skilled in her own natural weaponry, having cut down monsters twice her size. She also has 4 eyes.

Misc: She calls her brother "Lu".

Okay I have what I figured would be the plot:

You can add subtract suggest etc:
PlOT:

After the village of Mayflower, party forms and is to split the bounty of 5 golden coins at Hemingway Captial City. It is a 2-3 day walk from Mayflower.

Hemingway Captial City is a resting point for our party members. Then the party is to receive another bounty that is more ambitious and that is the City of Doral which has been reported as dangerous and hazardous to humanoid creatures.

Upon going there the party will meet with a spirit of Terra and the spirit will tell them their mission to fight for planet Terra against Aceteria the asteroid/alien.

Party then becomes neutral and you choose your faction: You want to help save Terra and be protagonists, or you want your superhuman powers to stay in your life and help Aceteria further its plot which means you become antagonist.

So that is where it goes.

Last place of the rp I planned was Aceteria, the asteroid site.

Name: Cora Quin

Race: Human/Super

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Role: Magician/Entertainer/Information broker

Affected by Aceteria (asteroid)? If so, how so? Is your character a regular creature or organism, or have they mutated/superseded the chemical and have become 'super'?

Cora was infected by Aceteria at birth, and have always had the ability to manipulate light. Though not combat strong Cora’s abilities lay in illusions and deceit.

Appearance: Orphaned at a young age, Cora never got the nutrition needed to fully grow into her adult body, coming in just a touch over five feet tall. She has a modest figure, unmistakably female but her assets would never cut it as a bar wench. Cora has short blond hair, making it easy to switch between her various stage wigs, her big green eyes blinks with childlike innocence while hiding her more sinister thoughts. Her cherry lips are plump with a natural pout, making her smiles just a touch playful and almost sensual when she wants it to be.

Personality: Cora is a brat. Cunning and selfishness are the two things that keeps her alive in this world of monsters and chaos. She enjoys playing pranks, though most of them harmless, and with the help of her ability to bend light she’d become quite the trickster and entertainer. Cora is energetic, outgoing and extremely friendly, also has trust issues.

Equipment: The usual bells and whistles of a magician, doves up the sleeve, metal rings, wand, elaborate head pieces, pretty dresses for the stage. She also has a darker outfit made for stealth, including a black silk shirt, trousers, black shoes and a headscarf. She also carries a set of black throwing knives.

Weapons: Throwing knives, a long black whip and a set of lockpicks.

Weaknesses: Cora is physically small, and although fast she has no brute strength when it comes to hand to hand combat. Using small amounts of magic for her tricks and shows is fine, but prolong use causes crippling headaches and blackouts in worse cases.

Abilities: Free running and the ability to bend and manipulate light.

History: Orphaned at a fairly young age Cora was forced to grow up quickly. Few quick and brutal brushes with death leaves her fairly indifferent to the lives of others, and she will do anything for self preservation, including stealing, selling information, lying and cheating to have her way. Her legit business is a magician/entertainer for hire, traveling from town to town, city to city, though her true income comes from selling information and espionage. She takes no sides, and will sell to the highest bidder.

Anything else: To come through the story.

Well I assumed that there are all sorts of types of humanoid creatures on this planet. Or is there not and are they rare?

I guess that is something we can discuss in the ooc as part of the story. I assumed it wouldn't be rare.

Okay first of all, they're fighting a monster right now. Does she have time to stop and smell the flowers and frollocking in poetry? How does she have time to think she's thinking about killing the monster first.

I will redo my post nad describe the monster, but that should be up to your imagination too. I'm not the only one making up stuff here.

It's up to the GM to fully describe the monsters that we're supposed to be fighting against, if we all just used our imagination we could be fighting three very different monsters. I'm sorry but I'm going to pull out from this RP, it just feels a bit disjointed. It was fun while it lasted. Good luck :).
