Possible RP: Conceptual

Imagine a world where nearly anything can happen through the imagination. In an unknown world named Concept, such a reality exists, calling upon different beings from the far reaches of the multiverse. Quite the paradise, isn't it? That's what some people might say. However, it's far more complicated than that.

In this RP, anyone can be participate in this world, whether it be from popular fiction, from your own imagination, or from the real world, including even yourself. Anyone can be brought to the table. However, characters should be picked not because they are favorites but because it would be interesting to see how they would function in such a word. As such, this RP goes heavily into character development, literary art, and whatnot. (Maybe even self-exploration by you, the reader) Also, when it comes to character sheets, a different system will be used. A normal, private character sheet will be made. However, when first posting, only the name, (initial) appearance, and limit (more on that later) will be stated. As the RP progresses, stuff like biography, personality, species, abilities, etc., and etc. will be filled into the character sheet. This RP is somewhat of a game about meeting new people/characters, and as such, it would be appropriate if we didn't know everything about each other's character. Also, only 4-6 characters are ever allowed on Concept at one time.
All characters, before entering concept, are promised the thing that they need most in their home world/universe if they can complete their personal task. (characters are never told the task) Should they complete the task (which is left unknown), they will receive the boon. What they need may not necessarily be what they desire...

Although nearly anything can happen in the world of Concept, I would like to emphasize nearly. There are, in fact, some rules governing Concept:
1. No time traveling (That s*** gets complicated fast)
2. No physical injuries (only in special cases can they be injured or by owner's consent)
3. No manipulation of the free-will of another character
3. Only PG-17 (yes, 17)
4. Anything not mentioned is fair game (terms are subject to change)
(It's possible doesn't necessarily mean it should be done...)
Also, as always, Standard guild rules.

In addition to these rules, the guild rules are tacked on as well. There is another interesting mechanic that is present in the world of concept: the system of notions. Although a character's imagination can do anything, it does not have limitless energy. Just like how people can be mentally fatigued, characters can be imagination-ally fatigued in this same way. Here are the rules on notions.
1. The use of imagination in one post is the use one notion.
2. Each character has a limit to the maximum notion. Once used, notion must be recharged before imagination can be used again.
3. A recharge constitutes a post where imagination has not been used. One non-imagination post equals one notion.
4. Notions cannot be recharged through another character's imagination. (That's like asking for more wishes)

I hope to take this RP interests a few people!

Digimon: Digital Monsters- V3

When the commotion began with the goggles person, Aaric quickly turned his head towards the direction of the yelling. The sudden appearance of the small dragon creature made Aaric blink once. Then more strange beings began to appear out of nowhere. He began to think.

“This is supposed to be the place where I start screaming, right?” Though, Aaric’s face betrayed no shock. He was simply unsurprised of the sudden drop-ins. What really shocked Aaric more was his lack of shock on his part! It wasn’t that often that Aaric evaluated his own feelings, but this occasion was an exception.

“Why wasn’t I shocked by these creatures? Have I read something in the books that depicted such creatures?” Aaric combed through his established knowledge. Nothing but generic sketches and illustrations of dragons and generic monsters appeared in Aaric’s mind. However, despite not having anything, Aaric knew that he saw them somewhere. There had to be a reason to why he wasn’t entirely surprised by the appearances. He was looking in the wrong place. Within his mind, what Aaric was looking for was not in the deep trenches of his mind but on the surface where he barely took time to look. As he began to ascend from the depths, he saw it.

“It was that book!” Aaric spoke aloud.

“Sure was, left a pretty hard hit on my head, you know that, right-gya?” A voice questioned Aaric from behind him. Curious, Aaric turned around. It was a small pink spheroid with what looked like bunny-ears which held a book atop its head. “Caused me to de-digivolve since the hit was that hard-gya.” Aaric jumped slightly. Never had he seen in either his recent or older knowledge a talking pink head.

“Who-who are you?” Aaric asked. Aaric leaned closer to get a closer look on the pink thing. “A-and, what are you?”

“I’m your partner and a digimon, a Koromon to be exact-gya. You aren’t that observant of other digimon, aren’t you-gya?” Aaric could only stand there with incredulity.

“Partner?” Aaric asked. He paused for a second in an attempt to recollect himself, wafting at the air with his hands as if there was a haze of misunderstanding. “Partner." Aaric rearticulated as he raised his eyebrows.

“Yep-gya.”

"D-d-do you have a name?” Aaric stuttered as he leaned one ear closer towards the koromon.

“Of course! It’s Hakase, at your service-gya.” the pink head said while doing a slight bow. Aaric could only stare at Hakase with an incredulous look as the library within Aaric’s mind attempted to categorize new information.

Digimon: Digital Monsters- V3

Aaric had remained as stiff as glass, his face still tinted with red. As he shifted his eyes around, he realized that nobody had paid attention to him. Relieved, Aaric’s body became flexible once again, allowing his head to rest upon his shoulders and his blood to settle down.

“What was I thinking? I’ve never done that to complete strangers!” A moment of contemplation of his recent actions was taken. Slowly, his focus began to shift towards the conversations being thrown around in the group, but upon hearing subject, Aaric immediately placed the simple ideas of those things into a mental box labelled “forbidden fruits.” His blinds were immediately closed and his doors were locked, Aaric withdrew within himself, applying himself to observe the scenery over rather than listening to the offensive conversation.

Aaric looked up into the pale blue noon sky. Aaric found it quite refreshing despite having fallen down to the earth. Aaric continued to stare at the sky. Then he squinted his eyes and cocked his head closer towards it. The heavenly being that always watches over the earth was absent. Mystified, Aaric began walking around the clearing in a circle, looking in multiple angles. The sun was still absent. In order to clear his confusion, Aaric began his ascent up a tree. It was a clumsy climb, but he was invested into it and his curtains open to discovery of knowledge. Higher and higher, he climbed, pushing through the branches, twigs, and leaves, eventually popping his head out into the open canopy. The same gentle breeze that moved the clouds brushed against his face. Refreshing after a cramped and stuffy climb.

Aaric refocused himself. He perused the open horizons, confirming that indeed, the sun had vanished. This caused Aaric’s eyebrows to furrow. Aaric then looked down into the clearing. He could see everyone from his vantage point. There was some commotion down at the bottom, but he couldn’t care less about what was going down there. His setting was much more important. Aaric continued to stare down at the clearing, observing the beige, compacted earth present everywhere on the ground. He suddenly noticed a feature of the ground; it appeared to be printed with very light wirelike engravings. It was now the ground that called Aaric. Aaric began his descent from the canopy through the leaves, making a similarly clumsy movement down the trunk. Immediately after touching the ground, he scrutinized the ground to ensure that his observation was correct. There was no doubt that the ground had etchings, and in fact, the wires were on nearly everything. The trees, the leaves, and the flowers, perhaps the sky were ladened with wired impressions.

Aaric’s eyebrows furrowed. His mind began to leaf through his mental library, gathering and connecting all the relevant information he had in his expansive collection. All outrageous and even unlikely possibilities were immediately discarded, but however, informational voids halted this progress. His mind combed through the data once again, only to have the true realization pass underneath his nose once again. He could smell it, but he could not see it. The fact that this truth had eluded Aaric incurred a juvenile frustration inside of him.

"Ideas, anyone?"

@pyroman

A person’s voice requested, cutting through Aaric’s thought process. Aaric wasn’t too keen on sharing his knowledge with others. However, with the gap in his knowledge, Aaric was a little bit more inclined to do so. However, he wouldn’t do it with those unconcerned hooligans but with the person who actually cares about the situation. Aaric meandered towards the the militarily dressed man.

“Hey” Aaric said, catching the attention of the military man. “I have not the slightest idea where we are.” Aaric said calmly as he finished walking towards person. Whenever it came to business and information, Aaric could manage talking with people. “However, I did make a few observations that might help us indicate where we are. I’ve noticed that…” From there, Aaric recounted only his observations he had made.

@tobiax Oh well. If you don't have crunchyroll, you can click on the link I posted up earlier in the OOC and watch it through that site when you have time. Though, I'm not quite sure if it's been takendown already. Have fun watching the last episodes of tri!

Digimon: Digital Monsters- V3

Did everyone finish watching the final digimon tri movie? Just wondering because I wanna talk about it but not spoil it for anyone :3

Digimon: Digital Monsters- V3

Alaric's mouth was opened wide as he fell away from the skies above him. What happened to him? Where was he? Who were these people around him? All Aaric could clearly think about amidst the myriad of questions going through his mind was the symbolic nature of this fall from the skies.
“...Could this be hell?” To Aaric, it didn’t seem like it, but it didn’t matter to him in a very short time; Aaric was rapidly reaching terminal velocity. The speed alone was enough to make him terrified, not to mention everything else. Nervously curious to how high in the air he was, Aaric shifted the weight of his body to place his gaze towards the Earth. A big mistake. Jolted by the sight of being thousands of feet up in the air, Aaric sporadically opened his arms, allowing the book to fly out of his hands towards a destination unknown. Surely, it wouldn’t hit any poor creature. As Aaric grew closer and closer towards the ground, he tightly shut his eyes and his mind began to race.
“Literature is seeping into my dreams again. It’s that quote of descension. After the fall, I’ll ascend from this nightmare. Waking reality. Waking real…” Suddenly, the wind that blasted against his face stopped as he felt himself being gently laid upon the ground, face first. Quivering, he lifted his head from the ground while his eyes reluctantly opened. What they saw was a peculiarly grown forest, though, not any forest to the likes illustrated in the books. He darted his head around to examine the scenery further. Around Aaric, a lush, verdant forest surrounded the sunny clearing that the people had just landed in. In the sky, soft, white clouds gently swam towards an unknown destination, the wind blowing west with a promise for adventure. Aaric did not care for the fates of the clouds. He was too busy looking at the people who landed alongside with him.
”Hey! Random other people! Anyone get the license plate number of that truck that hit us? Looked like a fucking glowing hole in the ground?” One of the girls yelled out, slicing through Aaric’s moment of shock like a cold knife. After some time, he propped himself up into a sitting position with crossed legs, carefully observing the other people. It had been quite some time that he encountered people of such a wide variety, especially with the differences in language. In an unconscious effort, Aaric's psyche made a rare attempt to categorize these people. It failed spectacularly, making few yet very incorrect assumptions, but nonetheless, it tried.
As the other people began to introduce themselves, Aaric felt no need to introduce himself. In most cases, he never introduced himself nor made greetings unless prompted to. He always kept to himself. However, as more and more people began to introduce each other, Aaric began to feel pressure. Somehow, he slowly felt compelled to introduce himself by action of a mysterious force. (called character introduction, but he didn’t know that) The blood rushed into his face as he began to introduce himself.
“Salutations. I-I am Aaric Mitaski.” He said in a robotic-esque voice.

@tobiax Right on. Though, I do agree that I did make it a little bit... obvious. I'm still trying to get a grasp on writing well and all that. :P

Uhh... I do you mean a reference? I'm not quite sure what you mean. xD

Digimon: Digital Monsters- V3

As the hollow wind blew outside his house, Aaric softly sipped his warm white tea. He was calmly reading a book assigned to him earlier that day. Apparently, it wasn’t particularly interesting. To Aaric, the book invested too much of its value in its characters rather than on literary mechanisms for conveying its meaning.

“It’s a shame,” Aaric thought as he began to finish the last of the words, “this book had so much potential wasted on the characters.” Aaric placed the plain porcelain teacup onto an colorless plate located on the table in front of him. With both hands clasped onto the weighty edges of the book, closed it, and then placed the heavy object upon the same table. Unsatisfied by the supposed emptiness of the book he had just read, Aaric got up from his chair and slid across his large library with his cotton socks. With a hard stop, he reached to an pale rollable ladder. As he reached out to climb the ladder, he stopped for a moment to take a look around the room.

The library was immaculately clean and sterile. Other than the dark-colored books that sat on the shelves, the room was white and sparse. Practically, the only actual furniture was the pearly set in the center of the room: A geometric table, a cushy armchair, and a small tall vase which needed its wilting gladiolus to be replaced. It was always here that Aaric would read his books.

After looking around the room for a second, Aaric finally climbed the ladder and then browsed the shelf for anything that piqued his interest. If nothing in the vicinity was to his satisfaction, he would kick off to another section of the wall. Suddenly, it struck him that he was assigned two essays, one on researching the meanings of mythological creatures in literature and an argumentative on artificial intelligence. Deftly, Aaric propelled the ivory ladder to the appropriate locations, picking book after book and placing each one into a compartment located on the side of the ladder. Satisfied, Aaric climbed down the ladder and began transferring the many books to the central table.

As he placed down the last book onto the table, he had an odd feeling. He looked back to where the ladder was. He missed a book. He glided to the ladder and then in one motion picked up the book as he stopped. He motioned to glide back, but he paused. He didn’t remember taking this book down, or having this book in the library for that matter. Out of curiosity, Aaric rested the book onto his forearm and opened it up to read it.

“Fascinating,” Aaric whispered. Inside, the contents contained unknown creatures paired with strange hieroglyphics. In addition, the pictures were exquisitely drawn, almost to the point that they popped out of the book. Aaric slowly shuffled towards chair instinctually. Aaric quickly flipped through the pages to see if there was any language he could read. None at all. A small ring of light formed around him. Aaric sighed softly, still fixated on the book. Although this might count as being a somewhat scientific book, Aaric was always a sucker for lor-

Immediately, Aaric began sinking into a small ring of light. Shocked, the only thing Aaric could do was clasp the book to his chest and dart his head around. In seconds, Aaric was consumed by the light, leaving no trace that Aaric had been pulled into another dimension.
