Nice!

Torn Across the Rift

Low-medium please! Thank you for asking!

I plan forv players to get more powerful ad things progress.

If they come through the rift we can always say that the rift has weakened them from their original strength.

Hope that makes sense! Feel free to let me know your thoughts I'm happy to help!

Torn Across the Rift

Torn Across the Rift

Welcome! This page is for all the information you need to learn about, apply to, and play along in Torn Across the Rift! (TATR for short!)

Plot Summary:

You Awaken Amidst Destruction...
There is a hole of some sort. A hole in the universe. A Rift. Beings, people, even monsters have arrived through it. Torn away from their lives and everything familiar to them. Who are you? or What are you? Human? Monster? Something else...

Is the Earth Prepared?
The otherworldly beings are not the only ones aware of the Rift. There are people on Earth who have noticed that something has gone terribly wrong and they seek to find out what has happened and fix it... before it is too late...

Why has this happened to me?
There are some, from earth, who have simply appeared. They seemingly have no reason nor connection to this event... At least, that is how things appear at first glance...

Will we ever be the same?
That, my friend, is up to you! The power is in your hands!

Ground Rules

1. Normal rules of the Casual forum all apply.
2. One character per one player please.
3. Have fun!

Wow! That was easy!

So You Want To Make A Character...

There are three groups of characters.
1. Other World Folk.
2. Members of TRIDENT - Secret organization devoted paranormal and supernatural investigation.
3. Innocent bystanders from earth

If you want to play an Other Worldly person...
- You are from another world or another time.
- You can be of any class, species, or profession.
- You can be from an already made fictional universe such as from a book, video game, movie, etc. If you do this your character should still be original!
- Please no one who already experienced in time or dimension travel... that would just create a really big plot-hole really early on...

If you want to play a member of TRIDENT...
- TRIDENT is a multinational secret organization! Most people in the world do not know about, or do not understand the para and super-normal. Nor do they have the means to properly deal with it once such things get out of hand. TRIDENT is the exception to this rule, and they seek to lend a helping hand when needed.
- The organization is loosely organized into a few specialized teams. The team that has been sent to investigate the Rift is called MERCY. Mobil Emergency Reconnaissance Contrl Y-team (Letter is a team designation. Yes, they totally thought of MERCY before they decided on the acronym.)
- TRIDENT recruits discretely. Members of TRIDENT have likely either encountered something strange before being recruited, or are a bit strange themselves. Many members of TRIDENT have special talents and abilities.

If you want to play an innocent bystander...
- That would be great!
- Seemingly normal person with little to no previous knowledge or encounters with the super or paranormal.
- Seemingly normal.

**A quick note on 'power levels'**
Authored by Jdh97 Co-GM Extraordinaire.
A few things added by Eyeris.

To avoid unfair impact upon the game and the possible derailing of this plot and character driven role-play game, it is respectfully requested that you keep the strength of your character low. What does this mean?

- Your character should not be able actively seek conflict without fear of reprimand or consequence/ We do not want to kill characters off prematurely, but that doesn’t mean bad things won’t happen to those who leave no other option.

- Your character should not have powers or a power set that allow you to directly manipulate the actions and other PCs and NPCs. Powers such as mind-reading may people allowed, but exactly what can be discovered from this would be decided between the players involved and our lovely GM.

- Weaknesses should be more exploitable with stronger characters, at least at the start of the game.

- Weaknesses should be weaknesses. Something an average human could use against your character.

- Many of the characters are normal humans. This is the scale we are working with.

- Don't worry! Your character will 'level up' as the game goes and you may learn new powers and abilities! But we are starting from the beginning of a story! We should be playing appropriate characters for that!

If there is anything you want to be a secret, please feel free to PM me the information.

NPCs of Note

DR. TWAIN - Team leader of MERCY

Hider

Specialty: Medical Doctor, Necromancer, Occult Specialist.
Twain is the team leader. ***He appears to be in his mid to late 30’s. He has long chestnut hair streaked with silver. He is an outgoing and friendly man. He leads as a ‘buddy’ and has a very casual manner with his team. He often wears a sly and crooked grin. Speaks loudly and tells bad jokes. His trademark look is a long braid and a black vest that seems to have endless pockets inside and out.***

ZESIRO - Communications technologist of MERCY

pic

Specialty: Communications, handyman, assistant to Twain.
***Zesiro is brother to Twain. He has the hunched shoulders and apathetic eye-roll of a boy in his late teens. He speaks with sarcasm and attitude. He wears a t-shirt and headphones at all times. You suspect he might be hired by trident as a favor to Twain rather than on the team as a favor to Twain, as he does not seem to have any special abilities nor does he seem enthusiastic about the job.***

ICARUS - Member of MERCY.

pic

Speciality: Muscle, tracking, wilderness survival, variety.
***Icarus is the most mysterious member of the team. He does not speak. He is covered in tattoos. These tattoos seem to be the source of his power. The tattoos on his body come alive, they jump out of his skin and into reality. When their work is done they jump back into his skin and become ink images once again. This guy might creep you out a bit. He does not speak, he doesn’t look at you… but his tattoos do. They seem to move, but it is only noticeable out of the corner of your eye. When you look directly at them, on his skin, they are perfectly still. Yet, when you look away the eyes of the drawings seem to follow you. Every time you look back, they are in a slightly different place than they were last time.***

DZEL - Member of MERCY

pic

Is a very young woman with dark skin, thick black hair in a halo around her head, and slender limbs. She looks like she would be 90lbs soaking wet. This is strange considering that she is listed as a battle specialist. You guys have not seen her in combat yet, but might have seen the roster and title somewhere. She does seem to have an incredible endurance, not complaining about the snow or the hike or showing fatigue as they climb up the mountain or in any training you guys have done she never asks for a break or to end.

"RIFT" - A multi genre, mystery, action, adventure game!

Hi Rin! Let me know if you need help brainstorming! Sometimes having too-many-choices makes it tough to choose! I hope you are inspired and join us!

Sorry to hear Letter Bee! We will play together another time!

"RIFT" - A multi genre, mystery, action, adventure game!

Aaaawe ^_^

So happy to have you aboard!

"RIFT" - A multi genre, mystery, action, adventure game!

You awaken amidst destruction...

Torn Across the Rift

This game is a muti-genre, mystery, action, adventure, awesome story!

The story begins with a hole in the universe. There is a Rift, and through it appear a number of beings from other worlds and other times.

They have all appeared together on present day earth.

No one remembers how they got there or why this has happened to them.

Solving the mystery of the Rift is the main plot-drive.

You may play an 'other-worlder' or an earthling. You might be an innocent bystander, you might be an investigator, you might be something else...

The idea is to give players the freedom of character creation! With a diverse group the story becomes unpredictable, but the disparate elements are united by the common goal: What is the Rift and why has this happened to us?

There are three categories of characters
1. Other Worlders a.k.a someone who came through the Rift.
2. Earthlings that are part of a paranormal investigation task-force.
3. Earthlings that are seemingly normal and have no apparent reason to be involved.

A few ground rules:
1. Original characters only please. You may be from a non-original world from a movie/book/comic/game/etc but the character must be original thank you.
2. One character per one player please and thank you.
3. Have fun!

Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions!

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Taddaaa made a post!

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Caelum walked in with the main group of students. She was wearing the same long black robe as everyone else.

The robes bothered her. She had never worn a uniform for school before now. She enjoyed dressing with her own sense of fashion and individuality. She enjoyed looking at how other people chose to dress and express themselves as well. She was an artist at heart. Here at Hogwarts it seemed they wanted everyone to look the same. It was not like a normal school uniform either. It was a robe. The layers of loose black cloth consumed the student, it obscured their bodies.

They still had their faces. In the darkness of the dungeon it seemed like a sea of floating heads.

Caelum had put on pale golden eyeshadow and a sweep of mascara. It was a subtle look inspired by her new house colors. She wasn't sure if makeup was allowed or not. She followed the adage "Ask for forgiveness rather than permission." She was already assigned to a detention and she doubted makeup would earn her a more severe punishment than that. She put some effort into her hair as well, twisting it along the sides before gathering it together into a loose bun.

The dungeon frightened her. The narrow stairwells and halls seemed to press in around her. If she had not traveled with the group she might not have gotten to class on time. In the dungeon classroom she began to feel at ease. The room was very big and open and sunlight streamed in from somewhere high above.

High... high above... She tried not to dwell on that fact.

She noticed a group of Ravenclaw lead by an upperclassman. 'That is nice of him' she thought. One of the other first years (Caelum remembered that her name was Dani and she was sorted into Ravenclaw) carried a small chalk board with her. Caelum worried for a moment if she was supposed to have one as well. She did not want to be unprepared for class.

She began to find a seat far from the teachers chalkboard. She was a quiet student and preferred to sit in the back where she could observe everyone... or daydream.

She spotted Nolan and gave him a small wave.

No man's land

Dustin watched as a man looted the bodies. It was a wonder to her how eager men were to take from the dead. For Dustin, this feeling was one of superstition rather than morality. It was nothing but bad luck that such men stuffed their pockets with. Dustin was eager to wash her hands, she didn't take anything from the men, but bad luck was sticky all the same.

She was about to do just that, turn and walk on home. But the barkeep spoke up. "Don't leave 'em to rot out in front of my place! No one will come back once they start stinking. Take 'em over to the morgue, boy." That man vanished back into the Saloon. Oddly enough a new customer strolled in. Another stranger.

Solomon had its fair share of travelers, but this seemed like to many new folk all at once. It was bad luck. The more there were the more bad luck they brought with them.

She could at least get rid of these. So she grabbed one of the dead by his boots and began to walk toward the morgue. It was not far, being a one road town had its advantages. The body dragged behind her. A hungry crow landed on the dead mans chest. It began to pick at the wound on his neck.
