[hider=As of yet named Isekai thing] [i]Cold. You felt yourself drifting, floating, an endless twilight lit void. Moments of your life playing endlessly on repeat like a broken record before you. Accomplishments, defeat, despair, sadness, happiness...were you married to the love of your life? Watching your children grow? Perhaps you forwent those things in favor of a career, or money. Maybe you were ended far too soon before your time. Confusion momentarily besets you. Where did you get here? Were you not at home? Perhaps spending time out? A sudden, sharp pain hits you. The memories move faster, culminating into a single, painful, cracked image. Ah. You died. Perhaps it was a horrid accident. Maybe you died peacefully in your sleep. So was this death? What they called seeing your life flashing before your eyes? It was oddly peaceful. You tried moving, but did you even have a body? You tried breathing, yet you could not. You had no need of it. At least your eyes worked. Probably. Suddenly, gravity worked again. The memories vanished into the ether. You slammed into the ground. Was it ground? There was definitely a solid of some sort beneath you, yet there was nothing but the blackness of night beneath you and the light of day above. A gentle, warm breeze follows and for a moment you almost feel like your being cradled by a warm embrace in this cold, vast, nothing. [color=6ecff6]"Another one, hm? Lets see..."[/color] A voice reaches you. The ground beneath you ripples like water as footsteps echo in the silence. Something touches either side of your face, as though someone was holding you gently. Your vision is blessed by the sight of another. Long, dark colored hair, luminescent blue eyes upon pale flesh. Yet you could still not speak. Somehow, you felt vulnerable. As though every secret, every lie, every facet of your life had been laid bare. [b]"Ah...You'll do. Yes, quite nicely, I think."[/b] You were released, but the comforting presence hadn't left yet, and movement still escaped you. [b]"I do not have much time before the other finds my meddling, so I shall keep things brief. My name, affiliation, and status are all unimportant. [color=6ecff6]In short, I am a Goddess, and I am here with an offer to save you from oblivion.[/color]"[/b] The twilit void rippled, a moon slowly edging into your vision, filling the twilight with the gentle light of the moon. [b]"Well...less of an offer, really. You don't really get a say in it, fufu. I'm plucking you from your world, and throwing you into another. Ah-ah, don't think your being a hero or some great, powerful summoned hero. No no, nothing like that. You'll have to work for your power, at least a little."[/b] A pause, as the moon rose, so too did the warmth fade from both this goddess words. A gentle rain started to fall. [b]"That said, I'd be rather distressed if you died before you did anything, so I will be helping a little. I've already given you a new body! My finest work yet, if I do say so. I've also taken the liberty of [color=6ecff6]drawing out your previous' life accomplishments and giving you a very unique ability!"[/color][/b] The sides of your face were grabbed once again, but far were they from warm and gentle as before. Stern. Commanding. [b]"What do I want? Simple. [color=6ecff6]This world is dead.[/color] I want you to rebuild it. The people, humans, demons, are scattered. Living in sheltered communities on this dead, frozen world. They have no future, really. Either hunted by the Elder Beasts that roam the wastes, forced to worship them for protection, killing each other for limited resources-"[/b] The sound of cracking class. The moon turned red. Cracks formed across its surface like a mirror. [b]"Hmph...less time than I would like. I will be putting you in a relatively safe place with others. You can find weapons, knowledge, and other things there that could help you - [color=6ecff6]but do not linger.[/color] The guardian of that place will find you, and it will kill you, [color=6ecff6]and I will not help[/color] once you are there."[/b] The sound of rushing waters filled your ears, and you could feel the goddess presence fading. The world began turning, swirling and rushing around you as you found yourself being pulled downwards. Your senses started to return. Water filled your lungs. You tried swimming, but the tide was too much, the water too heavy and you sank, deeper, deeper, into the void below... [/i] [hr] Hello there! As expected, here's your monthly dose of a new Isekai RP for you to either laugh at, love, or just go meh over. That said, hopefully the way this one will work is a bit different, and serves to catch peoples interest! Loosely inspired by various Iskeai, and a somewhat less Isekai-ish thing, LoZ: Breath of the wild. Your characters died on earth, and have been given a new lease on life by something claiming to be a Goddess. The way I'd like this to work is roughly in three stages, should we ever even get that far. In the beginning, it'll likely be somewhat of a survival/adventure scenario where the heroes go around and well, exploring this vast, new, empty and frozen world they find themselves in and helping ailing people along the way. Later on, I'm hoping to enter like some sort of Civ-building stage in which those who chose to do so, could command and lead a settlement or city. Effectively becoming this worlds Progenitors - Take Romulus from Rome, for example. Or Narmer from Egypt, and Gilgamesh. Your characters will eventually become the myths and legends that this world will later associate with heroism, conquerors, and kings. Really, its not something you should worry about too much yet. Don't worry about stats too much. I'm not going to particularly keep track of things like that, as I feel it needlessly complicates things. That said, everyone will have [i]abilities[/i] which denotes how skillful they are at a certain task. I'm going to try and avoid piling on a lot of many individual ones, and try to keep things under a broad bush for simplicities sake, judge things on case-by case basis. That said, keep in mind I will be the final judge of whether or not you can do something with your current abilities. Now, without further ado, I present to you a CS. Do wait until the actual OOC to post anything, but feel free to discuss things here. [hider=CS][code] [b]Name:[/b] "Ah yes, the immutable fact. One of the few things that defines a person. Tell me, what is yours..." [b]Gender:[/b] "Don't be shy. I already know everything. Hm? Your new body doesn't match the old? Hahah, whatever are you implying?" [b]Appearance:[/b] "Mhm, I ran out of human bodies. Sorry about that, so I had to mix in a few other things on some. Tee-hee~"(OOC note: You do not have to appear entirely human if you do not want too. Just mostly human and organic. Nothing too monstrous.) [b]Goals:[/b] "Any...aspirations, or goals? Things you want to accomplish in this new world, or before?" [b]Past Life:[/b] "I know, I know, but please. Tell me, even if it is painful or bittersweet. I'll listen. I need to know what makes you, you..." [b]Abilities:[/b] "Your body is already in peak physical condition. I made sure of that myself. Can't have you dying to some random angry deer, now can we? Let me take a look, and see what defines you..." [OOC Note: Everyone will start with these: Physical Conditioning: Peak human Your body is naturally tough, durable, and strong. The pinnacle of human physical strength, endurance, and agility. Keep training, and surely you can surpass even stronger beings. Soul Flare: The ability to turn ones soul into a weapon itself. Needed for most basic magical feats. Channel the mana present in the air through your body to achieve great feats. Allows one to interact with supernatural things, and perceive things others may not. Everyone will also be getting [i]ONE[/i] unique ability that I will determine upon the acceptance of their CS. I am of course, open to suggestions should you have something specific you want to give a character. Don't make it [i]too[/i] OP though. The Goddess will drop a meteor on you.] [code][b]Inventory:[/b] "You'll start with nothing. Sorry, I'm not a weapon smith or weaver...though you do have clothes. Probably~" [/code] [/hider] [/hider]
