Cool character! Any backstory?

Also, have you read the rules and post format guidelines on the first page?

Myriad Reality

@darkred

Here's what it would look like in our style:

*Falls through a portal only to find himself not in Rome, not the good one or even the corrupted one, but instead lands on a strange planet, lost in time*
Ubi sum?
*Carries a gladius, shield and an out-of-place gun*

Notice on this one it makes the actions direct and first-person, and removes the author's commentary? That's the direction we go.

@Etcetera

Ahhh so like
Touch:
Taste:
Sight:
Smell:

etc...

Like that format mostly?

@darkred

Getting there, but think of our style as a first-person movie script.

*Enters the busy saloon, buzzing with frantic patrons, and draws my gun with a clear look of frustration*
Hey there partner! Who said you could leave this town!?
*Walks over to the counter and slams my fist on its surface*

Anything in *action symbols* is considered free information for anyone at the right vantage point. e.g. Nobody can hear the thoughts of characters but they can derive information from their tone, expression, etc. You might have something in action symbols that characters aren't present for, e.g. *Vanishes into my pocket dimension and begins crafting a spell*, but the point is that everything stated is technically observable to anyone who might be present. Actions and dialogue are the two forms of interaction in MR, so no author commentary, asides, bonus info, etc.

Myriad Reality

Alright post made!

@darkred

Sweet, good to have you! Will need to format your post with our formatting (style guide is on the first page with the rules). We're easy, just treat ** as your "security camera footage" where you can record the 5 senses of characters, then everything else is dialogue.

Myriad Reality

Thank you.

@darkred

Still wanting to jump into the action? I haven't seen our friend Tank in a minute but we can work something out if so.

I'm impressed that this rp is still going on.

@Scarifar

Thanks! With any luck it will outlive us all

Myriad Reality

Hey, sorry about that!

@darkred

No worries, welcome back!

Myriad Reality

Hmmm, good point. No idea. If I find a motivation, I'll come back.

@Jimbo

Rad! Always open to brainstorming, so here's hoping we can find a place.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Keeda can exist essentially anywhere, provided the conditions are right, which they usually are. With respect to that, Keeda simply came into being in the broader Existence, coalescing as the sum of its parts. It collects things; stories, experiences, pasts and futures, the intangible. It has no bearing, no mission in mind. It simply can be, is, and will be; a vessel for progress and movement.

@Jimbo

No motivations then? Just trying to think about how they'd practically be involved with the onscreen main cast.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

- Indeed. Lucy's got work and my coworkers got their own assignments; it's just you and me.

*She leads you off the train and out of the station; in comparison to Union, this place is simultaneously more and less alive. There are fewer people out at this time, but they seem a little friendlier, a little less closed off.*

- How'd you meet the boss, huh? He's not very conventional recruiting his workers.

@Tank O The Lake

Chance happenstance while we were enjoying a cold winter day. I could tell he wasn't an ordinary tourist.

Myriad Reality

I'd like to submit a character for consideration.

Keeda

­

<sup>Name: Keeda-Makoda Meindyrt Hoort Khapshanka Mea Leaga Hama Khansi Oyo Bu Shrin Intika Ula Nephsaat
Gender: Indeterminate
Average Age: Thousands of years old, parts of its body are younger
Species: Unknown
Assumed Occupation(s): Traveler, Storyteller, Herald

Appearance: Masked entity, draped in layers of tattered cloth that, despite numerous holes, never reveals its body beneath. Emits an odd, occasionally strong and off-putting scent reminiscent of moss, derelict buildings, and bugs. When close enough, one can hear the sounds of skittering beneath its clothing.

Quirk(s): Frequent, short vocalizations reminiscent of struggle, references to itself as "this body" or "Keeda" and to others as "your body", awkward and shambling movement with surprising speed.

Abilities:</sup>

• ^{Damage Negation: Shifts its form to drastically reduce damage of incoming attacks.}
• ^{Wall/Ceiling Walking: Can walk on walls and ceilings with virtually no effort.}
• ^{Shadow Teleportation: Can teleport short distances when within darkness.}
• ^{Verminous Command: Can command small creatures and vermin of all kinds.}

@Jimbo

Interesting char. Any backstory/history/info on how they ended up in broader Existence?
