Star-Crossed Adventures [Altered Tundra and Diversity]

With a mix of his own confusion of both what happened to him in Rabanastre and arriving in this strange new world, Caleb still would go on to see where exactly he was. On the same moment that he had decided to do that, he found himself walking only to feel a sharp pain in his lower back. Reaching along his back, Caleb felt around only to land his fingers on a thin needle. He grasped it and pulled it out only to release a slight grunt from the pain of pulling it out.

“What the hell?” Caleb said as he looked at the needle. There was nothing special about it other than the fact that it was a needle with a tip of red, obviously from the blood of Caleb’s body. Caleb let the needle fall from his hand and drop the ground, it in itself making a slight sound upon contact with the concrete floor.

Just as Caleb looked behind him hoping to find who — or what — shot him with a needle, he saw a rather attractive female with long blue hair. He didn’t pay no mind to her at first, but then he examined her body(more of habit than anything else). What he saw was some kind of ice magic forming on her tightened fist. Caleb raised an eyebrow. He didn’t know what she was up to, but as the following seconds would reveal, she threw all of that concentrated ice magic at Caleb in the form of an icy wind-like blast. Alarmed by this just in time, Caleb dodge-rolled to the right, and he was barely able to dodge the ice that came at him.

Once he gathered himself, he heard the blue-haired chick shout out something about Caleb being an assassin and facing her like a man. Also something about trying to kill her. To his knowledge, Caleb hadn’t even done anything to this woman, which was why he just looked at her as if she was crazy. She obviously was or else she wouldn’t attack him like she just did.

“I think you have me confused for someone else. I am not the guy that--” Just as Caleb was talking, he noticed the blue-haired woman had donned what looked to be like an over-sized key. Why does that look familiar? Caleb couldn’t place it, but he could have sworn that the giant key that she had looked a little familiar. “I guess you’re not going to listen to reason, are you?” Caleb just shook his head and he would raise his fists up and as he did, the key from before showed up in his left hand. “This again? Oh well, it’s better than my fists I suppose.” Caleb said as he just stood ready for whatever the female in front of him had to throw at him.

It must have been nearing supper time for the citizens of Rabanastre, as hinted by the way the sun was positioned in the sky. The smells in the air, aside from the dirty air and rancid body odor, there were hints of steak and veggies being cooked all over the city. For a one Caleb, his stomach was starting to react to such smells. It had been a good few hours since he had anything to eat. It was at least seven hours and after walking around all day, doing his usual fights with some of his best friends and rivals, Caleb worked up an appetite.

As he continued to walk around the city, Caleb found himself at the South Gate, to which he went through. It was only then that he was just a few couple of yards away from the Giza Plains. At the first glance that he took with his auburn orbs, Caleb spotted nothing out of the ordinary. Sure he saw dark clouds, but he just assumed it was one of those days where the rain season was coming around. However, as Caleb would look a bit longer, he noticed that the dark clouds that he noticed from before were darker than the usual dark clouds that would gather above the plains. These were pure black, whereas the usual ones were more a dark grey-ish color.

Before Caleb even got the chance to warn anyone or say anything about it, the black clouds not only were above Rabanastre, but from the ground, he saw shadows rise. Now, this wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but these shadows soon took a physical form. They were small and they had insect-like antennas and even more to the bug similarities, their yellow eyes. They looked at Caleb with the emptiest of expressions. He wasn’t sure what to do, but as they grew in numbers, the screams of the people nearby set them off in a frenzy of attacking anyone who made a sound.

When the little black bug-like things started attacking people, they would move within the shadows and their claws dug deep into nearly everyone who couldn’t get away. Even the Archadian Soldiers who were nearby and those who were willing to fight off these creatures were being put to death, one-by one. Caleb wasn’t sure what he should do. His mind was split, but in a most of hastful actions, he didn’t think. He sprang into action and using his fists alone, he went at the Heartless. One-by-one he punched out, causing each one of them fade into shadow particles. Caleb was getting into it as seen by the slight sparks of fire around his crimson-red gauntlets. Each hit he would give the shadows would ignite his fighting spirit, which in turn created a small stream of fire flowing around his gauntlets, so much so that it scared off the black bug-like creatures.

“That’s right! You better run!” Caleb shouted out as he saw the black shadows starting to retreat.

Smiling as he thought he won, Caleb would then see that, from the ground, a big shadow was gathering. He stood in a fighting stance ready for whatever was going to come. However, as he would soon realize, the shadow wasn’t like any of the others. This one actually was many stories tall. Caleb officially was toast. Which was ironic since he’s the one that wields fire.

Not thinking(he does that a lot), Caleb rushed forward to the tall, black shadow, fists up and logic completely vacant. Halfway through the distance between him and the tall shadow, Caleb found his movements have been stopped. Looking down to see what happened, he saw that darkness was starting to eat him up from the feet and upward. He tried and tried to get himself out from there, but like quicksand, it was the more he wiggled the more he seemed to sink. By the time one minute of him wiggling passed, Caleb found himself halfway into the darkness and he eventually became enveloped completely, gone into the darkness and away from his home.

“Wha-what?!
SMASH

The sounds of Caleb’s head and his entire body crashing into steel trashcans could be heard off in the distance as he indeed fell head-first from the sky. Caleb didn’t know what happened. He shook his head, but as he did that, he felt a sharp pain from his forehead. Whether it was the fall or whatever happened between the current moment and him being sunk into the darkness, Caleb knew that he just had a major headache at the current moment. He would struggle slightly to get out of the mess that were the trashcans and the trash that were in them. Eventually after a half of a minute, he got out only to see that he definitely wasn’t home. He didn’t know where he was. He saw odd lights and what seemed like shops of some kind. There were inns and a bunch of other buildings that he had no memory of.

“Damn, I wish I could remember.” Caleb said as he scratched his head and he yawned, arms above him and fingers stretching. That’s when he noticed a chain hitting his face. “What the fuck?!” He looked up and if it wasn’t in his hands, Caleb wouldn’t have believed it. “What this giant key doing in my hand?” Before Caleb could answer himself, large key was gone and that same chain would be engraved on his right gauntlet. “That was weird. I could have sworn that the key looked like..no, it couldn’t be.” Caleb thought about it, but the thought soon left his mind and he looked around and he just would start walking to at least get some kind of indication on where he was.

Do you keep RPing a secret? Is it safe?

I really don't get why I would keep it a secret. It's led to me deciding to pursue something in the writing field be it a journalist or whatever. My family knows that I roleplay online. I mean, it's not really a big secret to them that I'm very creative as they have all seen my poetry over the years. As far as my friends knowing, some of my closest friends are my frequent collaborators in Rping. Even my RL friends — as few that I have — are well-aware that I do online roleplaying and they frequently ask me about it.

So yeah they know and no, I don't keep it a secret.

Altered Tundra

Name: Caleb
Age: 16
Gender Male
Homeworld Ivalice(Final Fantasy XII)

Personality
Being a fighter at heart, Caleb is always looking for a good fight. It’s not cause he just wants to pound someone’s face in. No, it’s nothing like that at all. He enjoys the sweet release that he gets when his fists and feet connect with someone else’s. It’s about the pleasure of finding someone who is able to challenge his fighting prowess. Of course, seeking out said fighters can cause him a lot of grief as it usually leads him to do stupid stunts like fall into traps set by people out to get him. This could also add onto why he’s been dubbed “The Stupid Striker”. Of course, that nickname is meant as an insult, but Caleb does not care. He continues to use his fists instead of his head. He’s also one to think last and act first, which could make his title pretty accurate. Oh, he’s also a big hothead, so watch out for that.

In the end of the day, however, Caleb is just a lovable idiot who, when people get to know him, will see that there is nothing but a big softie who just wants to get strong and protect not only himself, but those who he cherishes as well.


Height/5’7 | Weight/169lbs | Hair Color/Black with a white center | Eye Color/Auburn | Skin Color/Slightly tanned

Powers/Abilties
Fighter’s Spirit:
Caleb’s fighting spirit is so strong that sometimes his inner-will can manifest itself into fire. He has never been able to control it, so it will only come in small doses, much like a damn. Only when pushed to the right level of either anger or wanting, Caleb’s fighting spirit will show its true colors. However, as it stands now, he neither can turn it on nor off. It’s purely up to chance and how it reacts to his emotions.

Hardened Battle Condition
Living on the streets of the lowest of low of his homeworld meant that he had to toughen his body up at a young age and also be able to fight his way through any thug that would try to harm him. Taking such a task on, Caleb toughened his physical performance to such a degree that he was able to reach near human physical performance and his fighting capabilities are also up there on the high level. He has no proper training, of course, so he doesn’t have proper form. However, when it comes to his ability to take a man down, he can definitely think of something to get the job done. Living on the streets has also raised his awareness of certain things to a level that is above human levels, but isn’t not yet superhuman.

Magic:
-Haste
-Bravery

Keyblade
Will Of Fire

Public or Private?

Something I've been seeing going around the site and on other sites as well is that some people prefer to take their rps into PMs and/or such formats that are out of public view. While there are others who rather keep their rps in threads. Now, my question to you guys — especially for those of you who are exclusively 1x1 rpers — is what do you prefer? Do you prefer to keep your roleplays with someone private or do you prefer threads?

Solace In Night: A Kingdom Hearts RP

Cerden had to admit that he was just a little shocked at the Chinese girl. Sure, Cerden understood where her words were coming from and sure she probably thought the worst of him based on his actions, but to completely dismiss him in such a manner like that? Cerden thought that was incredibly impulsive and foolish of the teenager. Even more on that point, to storm off like that made Cerden think that the girl had serious emotional problems.

As it would seem that the Chinese girl left, Cerden was left with the other female, Shizuka and the supposed leader of the group, Ace. It was then that a brief moment of awkward silence took over, but soon Ace spoke. He would tell Cerden that he had no intention of working with him, but one thing could change his mind and that was for Cerden to kill Nomis. The white-haired man shook his head as if he couldn’t believe these kids. Ace would then promptly take Shizuka’s shoulder and leave as if in a hurry.

Sighing loudly, Cerden really couldn’t believe all of this. He had helped those kids, presented himself to them in a friendly manner, and even offered up his assistance to take down Nomis’ machines. After all of that, they brushed him off like he was the enemy. “Kids these days. They never know when a golden opportunity is presented to them.” Cerden said with a stressed undertone to his voice. He looked around and Cerden didn’t even know what he should do. Sure, he could go to Nomis. Gods know that the pale bastard was in the castle, but did Cerden really want to do that? His brother probably has the entire area geared up with cameras and other such devices. Plus, it probably has a bunch of Empire soldiers guarding it. “This is a pain.” Cerden said. He knew he had to do something, so Cerden would simply run towards a nearby building, scale it, and attempt to do something incredibly foolish. I hate being good sometimes.
