From a land where the concept of magic existed,
you found yourself in a world where such things are non-existent.
Whether you will try to find a way home or stay where you are,
it's all up to you on this planet called Earth.



Plot


You are a being of fantasy, hailing from the world of Anima Mundi, where the concepts of magic, knights, demons, and other such stuff are reality. You were carving up your story as an adventurer, royalty, mage, or whatever you were back there, doing your job as best as you could to face whatever crisis presented itself in Anima Mundi. Life wasn't easy or anything, but you were enjoying it (or not, who am I to say) and doing the best with what you had there.

Out of nowhere, a strange "portal" appeared right in your direction. Curious as a child when getting a new toy to play with, you touch it and get sucked away from Anima Mundi. Dropped at a strange place called "New York", you now discover that you are in another world: Earth. A world where only humans are existent, the concept of fantasy is something that humans don't believe, there's this thing called "technology" that you have never used before, and so much other stuff that has suddenly dropped into your life.

Well, this is now your life. What will you make of it is up to you.


Explaining the RP Plot and Setting


So yeah, welcome to another of those Isekai RPs. This is what I call a "Reverse Isekai" though, with its basis coming directly from "The Devil is a Part-Timer" series. Instead of you being a human that dies and goes to a fantasy land, you're a fantasy being that suddenly ended up on Earth and now has to do the best with what you have now. And that's it. Simple, right?

The setting will be mostly in New York, where our characters live alongside modern society. At least for the beginning. We're not going to be restricted to NY or just the U.S., we can go to other places. But all characters start in NY and from there on, the story just continues.

Also, aside from the beginning being fixed, the plot onwards will be constructed by the players. Everyone starts in NY and from then onward, good luck with your plot. We can have character sub-plots, of course, but nothing will be fixed by me. You're responsible for your plot, your interactions, your character's lifestyle, etc. This RP is to be constructed by the players without following a fixed route or whatnot. And no, there isn't the MAIN PROTAGONIST here, all of us are equal, including me to you.

Elven, Demonic, Angelic, Beastkin, and other non-human races are permitted here, but they get a human form because this concept doesn't exist on Earth. They'll still keep with the physical and other abilities they had before, sure, and can even transform with a trigger or limitation, but they don't just walk around looking like they used to, they become human.

Battles between characters can happen, yes, but I'd like a bigger focus on the slice-of-life aspect than people going at each other's throats and blowing up buildings. I'm also not prohibiting the usage of magic during life events, but keep in mind that you're a magical being in a world of simple humans. If you don't want to get studied by the authorities, you might as well stay on your best behavior for now.

Another important topic is Romance. I will permit characters to get romantically involved with each other, but I AM ABSOLUTELY BANNING EVERYTHING +18. I don't want some hot and sexy scene of your guys going in a motel or whatever, you can make your character horny if you want but keep the romance PG-13. Anyone who steps out of line will be punished by this action.

Finally, you're free to play a human from Earth too, I'm not going to make you obligated to play Anima Mundi characters by default. They can even know that there are Anima Mundi characters around on Earth, but like these types of mangas/animes, they know and keep quiet about it.


Rules







Character Sheet


I'm dropping the skeleton here, but feel free to style your CS in the way that fits you the most. I love seeing people do their own CS style using a skeleton, so go wild.

Will keep an eye on this for the time being. Strayed from S2, but Part Timer Devil was a fun time before.

This would happen right as my RP load is pretty much at its limit... c'est la vie. I'll be reading along if it makes it to OOC/IC. Great concept.

Sure thing! Thanks for your interest! And as for the series itself, I still think S1 did a way better job at things than S2.

Aww, that's a shame. But feel free to jump in if your load gets lower!

Oh, I read it and I found the prospect of having a "humanified" orc walking around, hating the fact that he doesn't look as he did before and hating on Earth just excellent! I really think he'll work fine!

I'd just like for his abilities to be a little more... explained. I know that he's all muscle and brute strength, but I think there's more to an orc than just that so a little more flash would be cool. It's also important to tell that he didn't lose his strength as an orc when arriving on Earth. He's still hella stronger and can send people away with a flick, even if his lifestyle changed from one world to the other.

Oh, and you can just put the two parts you did together in one single CS, if you'd like. But other than the things above, I've no further complaints, and I'm happy to accept Goram to the RP.

Hmm, I considered his strength. I would like him not to be strong like an Orc all the time. I prefer him to have his inner Orc coming over him. Perhaps an Orc-fog might envelop him, giving the human an faint Orc bulk. It might be tied up with the tattoos on his body, with the shaman blessing which prolongs his life. I like Goram not having control over it.

What do you think?

In the Devil is a Part-Timer, when Satan arrives in Tokyo, he's drained from passage into this world and discovers that there's no magic here. He uses up a good portion of it to produce sufficient money to get himself and his general a bare subsistence apartment. It's only later when he's able to tap into the fear of the people around him during an attack that he was able to achieve full power - only to have to use it up repairing the damage and removing the incident from people's minds.

There's another reverse isekai, The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, where a demon gets deported to Tokyo with only a small power crystal. She looks like a small child, but the crystal allows her to temporarily assume an adult form so she can work in a neighborhood restaurant (or is it a bar?).

So I'm wondering if power-ups like crystals or holy vitamin B drinks is going to be a thing possible for some characters? Also, Emi brings a holy sword with her to Tokyo - are artifacts like that allowed?

I'm a little confused by the two character sheets as well. I'm assuming the second sheet is for Earth characters only and we don't have to fill out both?

In a difference to the basis, instead of our characters not having power and being penalized with the loss of magic, they will keep their powers and will have to live on with those powers. How they will live on and how they will decide to use their powers is their decision to make. But of course, you're free to follow the penalty route and go with the power-up crystals, holy vitamin B, or any other limitation you want.

And yes, artifacts are allowed, the Anima Mundi characters can keep it if they have one, because whether or not they will use those artifacts and powers will entirely depend on how each character acts and interacts with society. For example, you have my character, Rial/Ray, who can use his magic but decides to just like like a normal human being and not use them because of how much he hates Anima Mundi, and you have Goram/Goran from @Ordsmed, who actually hates Earth to its tidbits, doesn't like the fact that he's a "human" now, has a limitation of his own but can't wait to return back to Anima Mundi and have his old lifestyle back.

Oh, and the CS are indeed separate. The first one is for Anima Mundi characters that are dropped on Earth, and the second one is for characters that are naturally from Earth.
