OOC


This isn't quite a sequel, nor is it truly a continuation (as I never participated in the original). I simply liked the idea, and think it'd be neat to continue/restart/reimagine.
The posts that follow chronicle the adventures of a group of humans on an Earth nearly identical to our own. While I am uncertain as to their ultimate fate, I know that it should be entertaining, so long as this muse keeps whispering their adventures into my ear (at the threat of madness and death, should I not comply with Her demands) ((not to disrespect Her)). On this paralell Earth, for whatever reason, a group of ordinary members of RoleplayerGuild.com found themselves, after applying to a certain RP, sucked through their computer. Their bodies are no longer their own. Their forms have changed - some aren't even human. Instead, they have been transformed into a creature based off of (however loosely or directly) ((not that that's a problem, oh Muse)), their Username, Avatar*, or Profile Picture.

Once inside their computer, these people find themselves on an open plain. Bits of code flash through the crackling blue air from one direction to another; neat little green packets of informoation lase to their destination. A voice from the aether - more heard within their minds than their ears - explains the situation. They are caught in the multiverse. Some time ago a similar group of adventurers appeared ("fell from the sky" are the exact words that the voice uses), on a quest to unite an artifact called the Crucible. The artifact is responsible for their plight; but it was scattered across the worlds. The last group of adventurers managed to capture all but one piece of the Crucible before they (and the changes they had wrought across the multiverse) mysteriously vanished. Now it's up to this new group to find the Crucible and/or the former adventurers, so they can return home.

Then, without a second for thought, the intrepid band of humans fall from the sky and land in a charred, scorched plain. The sun is rising over majestic purple mountain peaks, covered with a noble cap of snow. Streamers of windblown snow trail off like a woman waving her scarf at a departing lover.

The scene is, however, horrendous. The earth, the trees, the very rock face of the mountain lies scorched and burnt. Feeble plants poke through the ash and soot in between the piles of armor and weapons, laying around as if their diminutive owners simply crumbled to ash. Dogs and cats picked though the debris, hunting small vermin. A nearly completed 80 foot long statue of gecko lies scorched, half complete. The feeble remnants of a river slosh out of a hole in the mountain and underneath a stone bridge. A gate stands, covered in blood, carved into the rock face, not-quite closed. An elephant's trumpet sounds in the distance.

~o~0~o~
Shorter, less in-character version of the premise: You are your avatar*, signature, or username. We'll journey across from one realm to the next in a Kingdom Hearts style Roleplay, solving one central problem in each world, chasing after the original roleplayers and trying to find the plot MacGuffin (the Crucible). Along the way, we may meet characters of such high reputation that they have been granted near-deity like powers. For example, Batman, God of Crazy-Preparedness - who may give us seemingly useless but actually incredibly and specifically useful bat-themed items. Or who may teach your character how to unlock some part of their potential.

Along the way, you may gradually become more and more like your character in personality. Or not.

Worlds I Plan on us Visiting: (Feel free to suggest others: TV Shows, Movies, Video Games, and Books are all fair game)
Boatmurdered, of Dwarf Fortress Fame
Stargate
Snow White, the Disney Version
Grand Theft Auto IV
A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones
Red Alert 2
Groundhog Day, the Bill Murray Movie

Character Sheet:
Username:
Inspiration: Username, Avatar*, or Signature
Race:
Appearance:
Physical Abilities: Expect severe clumsiness as you try to adjust to your new form.
Powers: Keep in mind that as you, you may not know how to use these, let alone that you even have them.
Other:



*Considering how Mahz hasn't gotten to custom Avatars yet, post what your Avatar would be if you go this route. Make sure they're no larger than 200x200.

...Actually I think I read the OP wrong. ^^; Will work on something else. But still interest.

To clarify: if the avatar we're using is of a specific character, is it okay to basically become a copy of said character in terms of appearance and powers?

Do avatars from the Old Tower count? Or from the old RPG before it died?

Consider me interested. I seem to remember expressing interest in the first one, but some things popped up before the OOC was posted, and there were more than enough people anyway. Maybe this time will be a bit different.

That is precisely what happens. However, not having been that character for your whole life, then you likely won't know how to access them. If you even realize you have them. For instance, you might be Batman, and have his reflexes, but you wouldn't know how to fight or what to do with the reflexes. Yet.

As long as you can provide the picture, it counts.
Given the rapid influx of interest, I'm going to put up an OOC. Post characters, etc. in that thread, please.

So it seems that this isn’t happening after all, because of off-site politics. I’m sorry, but that seems to me like that’s full of crap.

Firstly, on a personal level, this isn’t the sort of RP that I feel comfortable jumping into half-way through.

Secondly, the only reason it seems to have closed down is because “I don’t want people having RPs similar to mine on other sites.” That’s childish. And like it or not, you didn’t create this type of RP, so you can’t really say “this is my property and no-one else is allowed to do anything like it.”

Plus, you know, there’s This RP, which has been running on a similar “play as your avatar” concept for almost five years.

Sort of. If you'd like to join it, go here, where it migrated to a long while ago without me realizing.

Actually, a friend of mine talked about it on the forum chat, and they pretty much all agreed with the points Lost Cause made a few posts above, and said it would be perfectly okay to run this here. It'd probably be a good idea to credit them, but other than that...

I don't know if you're still willing to go ahead with it anymore, though, and if you're not then I guess that's okay.

I'd much rather join up on this website, instead of one of those "one-roleplay" websites...If this is still running, I'm interested.

I've already made my feelings about having to go off to another site for a single game clear. If it's here, I'll play. If it's not, then I won't.

Or to put that another way, I want to play in this, but I don't want to go to another site to do it.

If it is, it looks like someone else will have to run it.

Which is a shame because I really liked this idea.
