Tonight all but we sleep in ignorance. Tonight all but we know not of this event. For tonight.. the worlds will embrace.

September 7 2015: Earth calender.

42nd sun, 5630th season: Otherworld calender.

You sit up, recovering from the shock to your body. Questions fill your head; what had just happened?.. Where are you?.. who are you?..

You sit beneath a great white arch, you don't remember it being there before, wait, what do you remember? As you look toward the ominous door, you notice others beside yourself. Some stand and stare, some turn and flee, some approach the light. You puzzle through the thoughts of your frazzled mind. As your memories re-collate you remember who you are..

BASIC PREMISE ( More in depth description in IC)

GATE

Okay, so this is roughly based on the idea in the popular anime/manga 'Gate'

Two worlds linked. One like our own, another a fantasy like world with dragons and stuff.

I thought it could start with you role-playing as a character who would be the first to find the gate and meet those from the other side (other peoples characters) and later a war between the two worlds would develop.

I'm 100% open to anyones ideas. I wouldn't consider myself a GM as I would like everyones input to be equal.

________________________________________________________________________________

Okay, so this is the information we are going to need to get an idea of your character.

Name:

Age: (pref. 10+)

Home world: (Earth/Otherworld. If you roleplay someone from otherworld you can make up what their race calls it)

Race: (Keep it something relate-able - nothing like a giant or dragon. Also, you can roleplay an Otherworld human)

Gender:

Appearance: (Pictures or descriptions, both are fine)

Physicality: (How physically able they are. Special powers: nothing ridiculous please, no shooing neutron stars out their nose )

Personality:

History:

Write how much you want, but try to make it fairly detailed. You can get the information across in any way you like (Paragraphs/Lists ect.)

Info past this point isn't needed but would be useful/fun.

Combat style: (if any)

Comical quirks:

Theme song: (just post a youtube link, I got this idea from another RP and thought it was fun as I would play the characters theme song as I read their parts)

Please post characters in the character section so I can easily see when someone is putting forward a character as opposed to chatting / asking a question.

Thanks for posting :)

I have a few questions.

Earth - Technology-wise; modern as in now, real-world. Or Modern as in anime-world. Ex: Virtual Reality systems, etc.

I was thinking of having my character be human, from the other world and be a warrior/artificer. Is that okay?

I'm interested, if there's room.

I added my character to the thread, hope it's alright.

I used a combination of tolkien-esque traits and stuff from the warhammer universe to make my character, let my know if it interferes with any specific mythology.

Also the age I chose is supposed to indicate he's young for a dwarf, hard to get that across when there's rarely a generally accepted age for Dwarves to live until in most mythologies.

Semi-interested...will have to dredge up an old character to use for this. Gotta find it and edit it and junk. Subbing to the thread.

@Lord Whimsy There is much room, jump in.

@Resonance Hey, yeah that's fine.

As for technology, I would say we should keep it rather similar to what we currently have now.

Very minor deviances could be allowed. Eg. someone has a VR headset that has the power of a home computer, or someone has a bionic arm.
But nothing like; someone has a giant mecca or a telekinetic helmet.

I'll work on my girl when I'm not feeling so sick.

I'll work on my character today.

got her done xD it was hard. I'm still getting used to the hider stuff

Name: "Spirit" Silverine Arc

Age: 22

Homeworld: Otherworld

Race: Spellborn

Race Info: Spellborns are mostly human, aside from the fact their very essence is composed of magic energy. Without magic, they will eventually die altogether. This being said, they have far greater magic energy than most mages, human or otherwise. Most spellborns can only learn magics to do with whatever element they are aligned with, though stronger spellborns have learned how to control several. Their eyes glow with whatever element they are most attuned with, some of them their eyes simply take the color altogether. There aren't many spellborn in the world, but if you meet one you'd best not have any intentions to harm them lest you meet their wrath.

Appearance: 6'3, change that out for grey hair and grey glowing eyes.

Physicality: Spirit controls the element of 'spirit' a rare trait amongst spellborns or even normal mages. He can take away fragments of your life source, give some of his own, stop actions, etc.

Mind Spike: This allows him to cause both physical and mental damage, whilst siphoning a portion of their magical energy for himself. Casting this causes a random wound to open on himself, the strength of the cast dictates the strength of the wound.

Soul Mend: This allows him to heal himself or others, at the expense of only being able to cast it ever so often and physical fatigue.

Negate: This allows him to stop one of his opponents actions, say they are casting a deadly spell, he would be able to stop them at the last second. While they are able to restart the spell over again, this is mostly used to buy some time. It cannot be used very often, and requires him to generally be still or at a walking pace.

Silence: As described, this allows him to silence whomever he targets for 30 seconds while removing his ability to do the majority of his magic.

Ethereal Jaunt: This is basically his get gone while the gettin' is good card. In exchange for a vast amount of his energy, he turns into a ethereal form unable to be harmed or do harm for a few minutes, allowing him to pass through walls and escape into safety. This is generally only to be used as an escape method, as it offers him no benefits other than that.

Spiritual Gear: Casting this a set of glowing, white, holy armor appears on him along with a falchion blade with runic writing down it and a small buckler shield. The initial casting expends a moderate amount of energy, while it is active it continues to expend small amounts of energy until he 'returns' it.

Song of the Heavens: Once cast a melodious tune echoes around anyone he deems as an ally, healing them for a very minor amount in both the physical and mental sense. Casting this expends a moderate amount of energy.

Empower: Casting this buffs the targets strength greatly for a short while at the expense of a moderate-high amount of magical energy. He often casts this on himself along with his spiritual gear.

Light Arrows: One of his main offensive skills, he fires a volley of in-accurate arrows from a bow made of a spiritual essence, his own. Should one of these arrows hit, the opponent takes a decent amount of damage and are more susceptible to his other spells.

Soul Seer: Casting this allows him to peer into his opponents mind in an effort to see what they plan on doing within the next 10 minutes. Whilst casting this he is entirely vulnerable for a few minutes as he must stand still in order for him to focus.

Personality: Doesn't talk much, at all. Generally un-trusting of anyone and everyone.

History: Spirit was born into the Otherworld a rare race, a Spellborn. He was abandoned when he was young and raised by human parents, as he was still young his body hadn't taken on an affinity for an element yet, so he seemed like a normal human being. Of course, that wasn't the case.

As he grew older his powers grew and his status of being a Spellborn became prevelant. Fearing he would become to dangerous and un-able to be controlled, his parents forced him to leave when he was 17. Abandoned yet again, he decided this was just how the world was. Cold, cruel, and thoughtless. From then on he decided he wouldn't be-friend or trust anyone else, in fear of them stabbing him in the back again.

He set out exploring the world, taking up a few jobs here and there to get by.

Combat Style: He prefers to fight from a distancr unless he has donned his armor, in which case he has he is a very good swordsman.

Comical Quirks: He li-LOVES pie.

@Shikaru Looks good, you can post him in the Characters tab if you want.
exploration is always good, as it is a good reason for him to come across the gate.

@fij707
is my profile in the characters tab ok?

@ChristaEinheart Characters looking cool, nice drawing by the way.

Although I think the role-play will open with the gate opening. Sorry if the IC post doesn't make that clear (it's meant to be written two days into the future), though I could allow interaction to this character as it make for interesting backstory. Maybe a gate has opened before.

Although could you please say where is this other world person now?

Other than that it's all good.

Ps. Please avoid posting OOC (out of character) in the IC (in character)..
I know I did a bit at the bottom of my post but I'll delete that when all is in order.

@fij707
okie dokie, I'll edit her a bit. thank about the drawing, did her myself =3

I'll post my character for approval tonight or tomorrow depending on how work goes, is that fine?

@RavenxVoidThats fine.

Look forward to reading. :)
