[indent][indent][b][center][h2]I died and reincarnated into fantasy world- WHAT'S WITH THIS LIGHT NOVEL-LIKE SETTING!?![/h2] [/center][/b] You have died. It’s unimportant how. We-ell, unimportant for the bigger picture, but I guess it is pretty important for you, eh? What can I say, tough luck bro (or sis). But let’s not dawdle on depressing things! You have died and just as you were expecting a dark tunnel with a white light at the end, you are confronted with a peculiar message: [center][b]“GAME OVER. RESTART IN ANOTHER WORLD?”[/b][/center] The whole thing looked like it was taken from the video games you used to play, except for the question about restarting in another world. What's with that? Shouldn’t it say “restart at the last checkpoint”? Hm, guess not. Right bellow the question there were two buttons: [b]-[YES]-[/b] and [b]-[NO]-[/b]. Naturally, you choose yes. Why? Because this story needs you to! How do you expect me to lead this RP if you decide you are fine with being dead? Stay on the rails lad (or lass)! I mean, on figurative rails, not real ones, because then you’ll probably just die again. Unless you are Superman (or woman). Which you may very well become in this new world we’re going. Just as you press YES (yes, you need to press it) a new message replaces the old: [center][b]“PLEASE CREATE YOUR CHARACTER -[OK]-”[/b][/center] NOW WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN? Aren’t you already created? Your mom and dad worked hard at it too! Does this shitty reincarnation system want to pick a fight with you!?! You are perfect the way you are, they said so at school! A special little snowflake! ...Hm... Are you sure you are perfect? Maybe you wanted to be a little (a lot) slimmer, or a little (a lot) taller? Maybe you wanted bigger boobs or longer ****? Maybe you even wanted to be the opposite gender? Be honest, I won’t judge (le_totally_not_suspicious_grin.jpg)! Here’s your chance to fulfil all of those fantasies, and even more (I just hope they are not particularly weird or perverted ones, we are on a PG13 forum)! So press that OK button and let us dive in this fantasy world filled with magic, adventure and annoying anime tropes! [center][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BugffvmGAFI][i]Little soundtrack to get your blood pumping[/i][/url][/center] [i]As you press the -[OK]- button colours explode around you. What was previously a pitch black void of death was now dyed in a cloudy combination of white and blue. Message telling you to create your character was gone and in it is place some kind of form appeared before you. It took only a quick glance to realise what it was. A character sheet: [/i] [hider=Character Sheet] [center]Paint yourself like one of those anime girls. Ugh, that came out lame... [i](put appearance pic here)[/i][/center] [b]Character Concept:[/b] Describe yourself in one short to medium sentence. Like [i]"A dense protag who doesn't realize all the girls in his surroundings want his di.. his dish."[/i] [b]Name:[/b] This one is simple. Write down the name by which you want to be known in this world. You can pick your Earth name, but that would be boring. Nobody likes boring people. [b]Gender:[/b] Are you a boy or a girl? Maybe neither? Or both? Hey, it’s a fantasy world, you can find all kinds of stuff. [b]Background:[/b] Tell us about yourself. What did you do in your Earthly life? How do you feel about your death? What are your plans for the future? [b]Level:[/b] This is your character level. As you do stuff you grow more powerful and it reflects in your level. You start at level 1. [b]Class:[/b] Hey, it’s a fantasy role-play, it just wouldn’t be right without class system! What, you don’t like class system? Filthy commie! Don’t worry too much: you make your own class and it has no actual influence on your development, its purpose is descriptive. [b]Race:[/b] Similarly to the Class field, you make up your own race. Now you can be that extraterestrial transgender leprechaun you always wanted to be! Isn’t that great? [b]Attribute:[/b] There are 3 attributes: Force, Finesse and Focus. Because modern kids dislike math and number crunching, we will not be having an actual stat system. Instead, you pick one attribute and it serves as a descriptor of your physical and mental abilities. Here’s what each attribute means: [i][b]Force:[/b][/i] You rely on brute strength and overpowering your opponents- when thing gets tough you endure the pain and push through the obstacle. [i][b]Finesse:[/b][/i] You are a more tactful sort, relying on speed, stealth and good positioning to carry you through trouble. [i][b]Focus:[/b][/i] You’re a wizard Harry! This attribute is not actually required to cast spells, but it means your spells are more powerful and you can use them more than others. Below are 3 categories of supernatural powers you can possess. At the start you can either have 3 Techniques, 3 Spells or 1 Power. During the course of the RP you'll get both more abilities of the same category and abilities of other categories. [b]Martial Arts:[/b] A type of supernatural abilities where practitioner learns to instinctively channel magic within his body through training his body and meditation. Individual Martial Art ability is called Technique. [b]Thaumaturgy:[/b] Good old wizardry. Thaumaturgy is usually earned through diligent study of magic for years, decades even and wizards use it by channelling their spells with chanting and hand signs. Abilities of Thaumaturgy are called Spells. [b]Gift:[/b] A blessing from the Gods, a curse, an inborn power or something along the lines, Gift is a single supernatural power which doesn’t fall into either of the above categories. Unlike Martial Arts and Thaumaturgy where you can have multiple Techniques/Spells, your Gift only has one Power, though that power may be further developed as you grow stronger. [b]Equipment:[/b] You’re dead. You got nothing. Nothing! But you may acquire things on your journey around the world, so this field here is where you’ll list all weapons, armours and other such items in your possession. [center][b]-[FINALIZE]-[/b][/center] [/hider] Now that you pressed FINALIZE you have officially made your character. Or, better say, remade yourself. Congratulations! Now, our journey can begin. Fasten your seatbelts kid because we are about to land! Reincarnation world, here we come! [i]Once again, light explodes and you get engulfed by a rainbow-coloured whirlpool. A sudden feeling of being launched downwards possesses you and the instinctive fear of falling forces you to scream. As you look bellow you the rainbow colours clear and an unfamiliar landscape began rapidly approaching you. Your eyes water from the speed, making you unable to properly inspect the features of the world around you. Not that you’d have enough composure to do it anyway, as your destination became clear: a gray, rocky mountainside. You show no signs of stopping as you draw closer and closer until finally you hit the mountain’s surface at full force, exploding from sheer force of the impact into a spectacle of gore... That didn’t happen. Before you collided with the surface, either out of fear or something else, you lose your consciousness and darkness envelops your mind.[/i] [/indent][/indent]
