Shared Dream RP

It works for me. I've added a character roster at the bottom of the first post to keep track of our characters.

Oh I love what you've thought up, I'll try to get a CS drawn up as soon as possible, though I have a question, may we include a picture of our character's mundane selves despite it being the lesser of the two forms we'll be interacting with? Or would you prefer if we didn't expand on the facets of the CS? I could make due with a short description while the story progresses if a picture isn't acceptable anyway so it makes no difference to me!

You can if you want to. Just remember that the focus is roughly 75% Vivi-Dream, 25% real world so I wouldn't go too crazy with the RL self.

Shared Dream RP

LIN
Real World Name: ??
Age: ??
Real World Bio: ??
Oneiros Name: Lin
Appearance: a blue-haired girl wearing a grey bolero, a blue dress and socks, and grey slippers. Upon will, she can morph into a talking blue-jeweled sword -> image of both Hez and Lin HERE
Oneiros Bio: Unlike many Oneiros, Lin is a permanent resident of Remniche, which is virtually impossible by normal standards. No one knows who her real life persona is, and she has no memory of anything prior to entering Vivi-Dream. Even so, Lin is a cheerful spirit who doesn’t let this get in the way of her curious nature. She loves to explore and discover new things, and acts as a guide for some Oneiros who may not be familiar with this bizarre world.

Lately however, Lin has taken to following a traumatized mute girl she named Hez, another Oneiros who hasn’t left Vivi-Dream for the last year. As Hez only ‘talks’ in ellipses, Lin serves to translate what she’s saying. They go on scouring adventures together, and Lin has become very interested in finding out more about her BFF. If they encounter a battle, Lin fights the monsters in her talking sword form.

HEZ
Real World Name: Cordelia Ignavis
Age: 10
Real World Bio: Cordelia is the daughter of Leary Ignavis, the president of the influential Ignavis Institute, a school for the affluent that covers numerous fields of study and every grade possible. Cordelia was involved in a horrific car accident last year and has been in a coma ever since, explaining her prolonged presence in Vivi-Dream. She sustained some internal injuries and is often in critical condition, sometime teetering between life and death. Lately though, Cordelia is showing signs of improvement. Obviously, Cordelia cannot meet her fellow dreamers at the Reverie Bakery and Café.
Oneiros Name: Hez
Appearance: a timid silver-haired girl wearing a large white shawl and cape, a white blouse, a black skirt, and white-and-black sneakers -> see above image in Lin’s profile
Oneiros Bio: As Hez, she is totally silent. Lin found her wandering around a car junkyard at the outskirts of Remniche and took her in as her protégé. Lin randomly named her ‘Hez’ back then, and together they explore the vast world of Vivi-Dream. Although Hez doesn’t speak, Lin can understand her perfectly and translate her dialogue. Hez is unable to participate in battle due to her frightened nature, but is very smart and notices things that others might miss. Hez is also able to heal light wounds.

Shared Dream RP

Okay, since I have a few interested folks, I've updated the first post with the basic storyline and character sheet. Once we get enough characters, I'll start the IC thread.

Shared Dream RP

Vivi-Dream

OOC HERE

THIS RP IS ALWAYS OPEN

A grade school girl with a huge crush; An elderly man approaching his last days; A jaded construction worker wanting to switch careers; A gangster who just wants to financially care for his siblings; A hikikomori who is also a hopeless hoarder. What do all of these people have in common?

They are all able to access a peculiar world called Vivi-Dream.

Vivi-Dream is an extremely malleable place that only several people in the world can reach. It changes according to what each dreamer brings, although the general layout is the main city dubbed Remniche branching out into different routes that are each bizarre and illogical by realistic standards. One route is a massive labyrinth that no one could hope to navigate in one night’s sleep. Another leads to an upside-down palace. Another has a house that gets smaller like a matryoshka doll the more someone investigates it. Another could be a broken Rube Goldberg machine that needs fixing. Some locations only appear when a dreamer arrives and vanishes when they wake up.

Likewise, the characters that these dreamers become in Vivi-Dream are equally as bizarre. However, when that persona is chosen, they tend to remain that way for life. Dubbed as Oneiros, these characters represent the dreamer’s interests, thoughts, and life situations. The Oneiros are then able to explore Remniche and the world of Vivi-Dream for the duration of their dream. The trip could be a harmless scavenger hunt, or could lead to a battle against monsters. Usually these journeys reveal something about the world or of the Oneiros themselves, which could lead to enlightenment for the person or solving a small piece behind Vivi-Dream itself.

Speaking of which, Vivi-Dream is accessible only to a select number of people. Not everyone can reach it, and the Oneiros aren’t sure why. When these people wake up, they can remember their experience in great detail. Likewise, if Oneiros meet each other in real life, they experience déjà vu and can then discuss what happened. There is even a small group of people who convene to talk about Vivi-Dream, usually meeting at the local Reverie Bakery and Café at scheduled hours. Their goal is to find out what Vivi-Dream is and why only they can reach it. Several theories have been brought to the table, but nothing has been proven yet.

The ultimate conclusion is to solve the mystery behind Vivi-Dream’s existence and find out its origins. Is it benevolent or malicious in nature? Is there a purpose behind bringing a select few into this world? That’s for the resident Oneiros to find out.

**

This RP largely takes place in Vivi-Dream, with only short segments in the real world for the dreamers to convene in the Reverie Bakery and Café if so needed. If you’re familiar with the game Yume Nikki, this is extremely similar to it. It’s an exploratory dream world that only has a few static elements, and the objective is to find out what Vivi-Dream is.

CHARACTER SHEET
Real World Name: (the real-life persona)
Age: (how old they are)
Real World Bio: (Their real life situation. Keep it short – the RL characters won’t be RP’ed as much)
Oneiros Name: (the dream persona’s identity)
Appearance: (short description and/or image of your Oneiros character)
Oneiros Bio: (this one can be a bit longer than the RL bio, but I don’t want to comb through an entire essay, thank you)

Since Vivi-Dream isn’t restricted to genre, you’re able to make whatever archetype you desire. However, you do need to be malleable enough to work with other genres you may not have a particular interest in. You’re able to make a Space Marine, but you should be able to cope with a high fantasy setting as well. You could make a magical girl, but be prepared to have her fight a sci-fi Lovecraftian alien invasion. You can bring a fandom that you like, but don’t make it dominate the story.

And some obvious rules:

1. No god moding. This is a dream world, not the realm of gods.
2. As I want to compile this into a readable story, I ask for the best grammar and spelling you can bring. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but please don’t blatantly disregard the English language.
3. No bashing, swearing in OOC or trolling. Some cursing is acceptable in story, as long as it’s tasteful and for a good reason.
4. Have fun and be spontaneous.

Comedy & References RP

Still looking for someone. We can always tweak this concept if you want. As long as it's us RPing as at least a protagonist, an antagonist and some NPCs as we go on our JRPG-esque adventure, I'm cool with it. I just don't want to have it be super depressing or philosophical.

Comedy & References RP

I would like to have a go at a casual RP with someone who is familiar with many series (hopefully anime and video gaming, as those are my fortes) and can make plenty of jokes and references while still writing a coherent storyline with me. It'd be an adventure story with our original characters fighting against bad guys that we make up as well, but it's not serious or brooding at all. It's just silly, quirky and fun. Think of Fritz Fraudorf's stories like Manhattan Witch Project, Mr. Sith Goes to Washington and The Guardian Amulet, and you have a good idea of what I'm looking for. I was involved in a similar RP way, WAY long ago called Final Pokemon Solid, where we RP'ed as secret agents defending FF7's Rocket Town from various evils. Something wacky like that.

I'm not concerned about gender, but I would like to compile this into a readable story down the road, so some good writing skills would be desired.

Satire-ish Magical Girl RP

benit149- Mm, I'm not really sure... Your character just doesn't look like she'd fit in the RP easily at all, MSL team member or otherwise. Her powers and appearance don't quite give off a normal mahou shoujo vibe, and we already have Octyxia as a darker-themed magical girl. This is meant to parody typical cutesy magical girl stories, having too many dark characters would turn it into more of a deconstruction than a parody. You're welcome to apply with a different character, though.

Okay then, thanks for letting me know.

Satire-ish Magical Girl RP

I do have an idea, but I'm not sure how she can be integrated into the story. The character in question is this one I designed -> HERE

Her name is Nil (yes, the image has her as Social Reject, but I changed it), a sort of emotionless Dark Knight-type girl who is only interested in 'devouring' negative emotions for sustenance, which there is plenty due to the girls battling each other. She can then use it to create dark energy weapons and project a field around her akin to the Somebody Else's Problem field from Hitchhiker's Galaxy. Heck, a lot of Nil's design and powers were based off of Touhou's Komeiji Koishi (the whole visible-yet-invisible phenomenon, at least). Thus, she could render herself 'invisible' to the magical girls and oversee them from afar. Only magical girls with extremely strong wills would be able to bypass this field, or if Nil allowed them to see her.

I wouldn't want to use her as part of a magical girl team due to her reclusive nature. Are there any suggestions you could think of with these ideas? A villainess? A government spy? An alien from afar? A mysterious benefactor? I'm not really sure what direction to take Nil in, but I would like to join this RP.
