Bio

This is my second profile on here, and I have been Play-By-Post RPing for about nine years now. I do my best to see every RP to the end or at least let my character come to his/her own dramatic conclusion when I feel like signing off. Just like novel writing in real life, I tend to find myself on long hiatuses. Since writing is a great way to work out your brain, I try stay engaged as much as possible.

My favorite genres include futuristic worlds, mysteries, and super powers. Any mixture of these three elements will peek my interest.

Let's start at the top, shall we?

Our story takes place on an Earth-like planet named Bellum. It is the oldest inhabited planet in the known universe, according to Bellum scientists at least. Technology here has advanced to the point of gravity manipulation, giving rise to flying cars and much more. Also, the organic lifeforms here have evolved to the point that they can internally harness the energies of their sun, their planet's core, and the stars at night; this is more commonly referred to as "magic".

The dominating society of Bellum is arguably the humans. There are three major continents on the planet, each one controlled by a different human society.

The first continent is controlled by the Sutisu people, a proud and mighty group that also claim to be the most technologically advanced.

The second continent, which is attached to the first, is controlled by the Riotifu people. The Riotifu are known for being rough around the edges and quite unpredictable, the opposite of their Sutisu neighbors.

The Riotifu and Sutisu people are rivals in every way, and are constantly at war with each other.

Far to the south, you will find the third continent. The Mutrenu people are a peaceful society, as far as humans go. They avoid direct physical conflict, but they are savvy business people. Should they ever have to go to war, they would surely have a tactical advantage.




More on the beast-folk and elves to come...

The Six Crystals

Summary of The Story: In a galaxy far away, in another universe perhaps, there lies a world filled with both magic and technology. The dominant race is definitely human-like, but these "humans" are not alone. There are also the "elves" and the "beast-folk" (Yes, you can make a fury character.). The humans live in cities and towns. The beast-folk live in tribes. The elves live in hidden villages (not a Naruto reference). The humans are divided into three main societies. The beast-folk are divided amongst each of their tribes, with changing alliances. The elves are self sufficient within each of their villages.

Two of the human societies are constantly at war, and the third is always trying to stay neutral, even though they are occasionally brought into the mess. The beast-folk tribes are fighting battles amongst themselves, and some of them have alliances with one of the human societies as well. The elves are doing their best to stay hidden, but there are those that feel they are being too passive.

The title of this story revolves around six magical artifacts, each one containing great power. Individually, each one of them generates enough power to supply a small city or a large town, and they never seem to run out of energy. They can be wielded by skilled warriors, granting them amazing abilities on the battlefield, or they can be used, as mentioned, as a literal power source for technology.

Currently, the yellow and violet crystals are in the possession of the two warring human factions, each trying to take the other's crystal. The red and green crystals are constantly switching hands, between the beast-folk tribes. The whereabouts of the blue and orange crystal are unknown, perhaps under the protection of one or two of the elf villages.

How to Join: If you want to join at this point, you can take on one of two roles. You can either be a keeper of a crystal, a main character (There can only be six, obviously.). Or if you don't want that much responsibility, you can be a regular character. As a keeper of a crystal, you will be expected to post as much as possible, at least twice a week. If a keeper of a crystal becomes inactive or if they choose, their crystal will go up for grabs.

If you are interested in joining this RP, leave a reply stating which type of character you would like (keeper or regular), and give me a general idea of your character. The six crystals are on a first come first serve basis.

More information to come.
I'm officially dropping out of this RP. Clinical rotations are taking up too much of my mental energy. Best of luck to you.


No worries. I understand. Go save some lives!
Oh lawd, there better not be Covid in 2099.

Okay, I'll edit my post. I might not get around to it for a few days, so I'll just make my post blank until then.


You didn't have to leave it blank. I just meant that you could delete the part where she drove away. That way Reno would have a chance to be like "Hey, I'm parked right here. Looks like we're both safe now..."
I just remembered this is about New Year's and I'm getting triggered because I caught Covid on New Year's x_x XD


Let's all assume our characters are staying 6 feet apart. XD

Also, the idea to go back to the lab was only a suggestion, not knowing that we were parked next to each other, and it was only to get away from the spiders. I think Reno would try to stop her once he realized they were parked near each other. They could split ways in the parking lot. Do you want to back your post up a little?
Added the timeskip edit to the post. Hope it is alright.


Bakuto sure is one persistent fellow. I like it!
@balthazar007 Appreciate it, and that's my bad I was looking for some kind of Pokémon stand-in for an orca. I'd appreciate a pokemon list for the rocky mountains and the general midwest


So the way that my system works, I have to have an exact location to input coordinates.

So for the "Midwest" I dropped a ping near Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and for "The Rocky Mountains" I dropped a ping near American Boarder Peak, Washington.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota (in the area)
Patrat, Tauros, Ledyba, Hoppip, Misdreavus, Wurmple, Bidoof, Buneary, Tirtouga, Bouffalant, Bunnelby, Rattatta, Miltank, Nincada

American Boarder Peak, Washington (in the area)
Farfetch'd, Natu, Marill, Pineco, Zigzagoon, Pachirisu, Buizel, Rockruff, Oddish, Paras, Shuckle, Tropius, Shinx, Shellos, Drifloon

As a rule of thumb, these Pokemon should be pretty good for the surrounding 500 miles. If you travel further than 500 miles, you might want to ask for a new list.
@FalloutJack@Double Alright, the scene for your next battle has been set!
