Three years ago, astrologists discovered an odd planetoid approaching our planet. Its deep black coloration made it incredibly difficult to see, at first, nobody payed any attention to them. When it started to get close to the planet, the various nations of the world united only to try to get rid of this looming threat. Together, they threw every missile this planet had, unfortunately, nothing worked. In desperation, a team of scientists from all across the globe tried to examine the planetoid to see if there was any possible way to destroy it... all they could find was some weird language...

This was our last hope. During a recent archeological dig, someone has found a plate with the same markings on it as the planetoid. It was a bright, shining gold color with eight jewels embedded around the edges. There was a ninth jewel in the center of the plate, but it looked oddly plain in comparison to the rest. The man wasted no time in giving the plate to the government, who quickly had scientists take a look at the thing. All we had was one missile, and that plate. The scientists were out of ideas, so they simply threw the plate onto the top of the last missile in the world.It was midnight, this was the final hour before the planetoid would crash into our planet, destroying both it and us. Almost nobody could sleep that night with the impending doom looming right over their heads. They finally launched the thing at midnight. The moment the plate made contact with the planetoid, a bright light cloaked the planet, making it look as though it was noon, rather than midnight... and the moment after that, an ear-shattering scream filled the ears of all on the planet, waking the very few who still managed to pass out at a time like this. Once the light dimmed, there was no sign of either the planetoid, or the plate.

It was finally over, and the team that had destroyed the planetoid disbanded, with the nations resuming business as usual, yet, something strange began to happen to the general populace. Everyone started mutating into strange creatures, only moments ago only existing in myths, and other fantasies. This was found to be the cause of a strange mist created by the plate and the still unnamed planetoid colliding. This mist also allowed for strange abilities, called 'magic' by the general populace. Unfortunately, an EMP pulse, the likes of which was never seen before knocked out all electricity-based technology... that, and, with how some people are, anarchy has spread to almost every part of the globe.
---
This RP will kind of have two parts to it, with two teams. One team will stay on Earth and deal with the anarchy as well as other threats while the other team would work to rebuild the shattered plate thing. As far as the species go, you would be able to make your own, however, I'd obviously have to accept them, and I'm not going to make it easy to add an OP or humanlike species.

I wasn't in the original due to me being busy with school, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to join this time.

I'd be interested. Didn't really join the original one because I was in a state of non-existence on the MCF, but the original one looked fun, so I imagine the redux will be just as nice.

I wonder if any of these new guys have any ideas for any new creatures to play as...

idea i have, but also questions about limitations and the like. mainly its said that 'magic' was 'created' from the destruction, what are the limitations on that? and on the supposed limitation on returning technology?

Returning tech: Nothing electrical yet. EMP made sure of that. Guns still work, but cars won't.
'Magic': It can be anything that isn't OP, and is of any of the twelve elements (which I will post in the actual thread)
the creatures themselves can't be OP, and can't resemble humans (there are already two exceptions, and even those can only be considered borderline), this basically means no 'vampire' species, 'half-demon' species, or 'anime chick' species allowed.

Just letting you know, the species can't resemble humans.
'Cause this doesn't seem like it would cause much alarm, right?
"Oh no! We're changing into people!"
See my point yet?

More like "why are they human and we're not?"

i see it, wasn't going to be human... well not anymore.
the black knights are a group of 'beings' trying to reestablish law and order through force of arms and power.

also would rune/word magic be OP?

Meh, still. If we allow humanlike species, we're basically begging for this to become an anime/vampire drama or some stupid business.
Rune/word magic? We don't usually separate magic via how it's used, and OPness is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

rune/word magic is the ability to give power to words, e.g. the word 'fire' would ignite what its written on when used and powered by someone with this gift,while limitations would be stuff like can't use 'death' or other instant-kill moves.

and would either a shape-shifting humanoid animal or a skeleton be too human?

Both would be too human.
As for word magic, I'm gonna have to say no to instant death attacks... though, the way it works, itself isn't OP, it's like Eragon, or Harry Potter magic, right?

Eragon would be the closest of the two, its not say a word for an effect like a spell but rather that the word itself is the effect you want.

and okay of the races, will have to work on that

Well, I hope you can come up with something.
Actually, I think the only two things that this RP doesn't cover so far is insects and (understandably) fish. Er, as far as the animal kingdom goes... funny thing, though, is that we already have giant amoebas.
