RWBY - Haze

Maybe we could be Team NAME? Or DAMN. Or...something. To be honest, having N and M together makes it tricky to come up with a team name that makes sense. Well, maybe it's doable and I am just not smart enough to think of one. Because I think of N_M_ or M_N_. Maybe I'm just terrible at this.

@ RyuHill - Depends. Can you make it interesting and not cliched?

Also the OOC is now up, thank you everyone for your patience. See you there!

Kingdom Hearts: Destiny

[For Whom Has Power Shall Control All]

Sinking, sinking ever so slowly, it’s almost as if you’re floating. Are you sinking in water? It is hard to move, but you don’t resist it. Instead, you let yourself fall, only opening your eyes towards the end. As if on instinct, you bring yourself to an upright position. Your feet touch what you think is the floor, only for it to erupt around you. Birds of purest white scatter, revealing an image underneath your feet. Shaded mostly pink, you see several silhouettes scattered around. Seven of them, to be exact, each surrounded by a heart with a crown placed above each heart. Before you can inspect it further, however, a voice calls out to you.

“Good, you’re here at last. Can you walk?”

You take a step forward, as if to confirm the voice’s suspicions, and you look around. The birds are long gone and only darkness surrounds you. Where could the voice be coming from?

“It’s alright.” It continues, reassuring you. “All is well at the moment, but your entire world has been lost to darkness. It is not the first or the last world to perish. The darkness will soon overcome everything…but that doesn’t mean your existence will come to an end. No, instead…it will be the beginning of your journey.”

For some reason, you aren’t alarmed to this news. While worries do poke the back of your head, you feel that you need to listen; you remain quiet, hoping for more explanation, though your eyes return to the silhouettes.

“You will learn who they are once you and I meet.” The voice continued. “Yes, we will meet…you and several others, in fact. Your destinies have become intertwined, you see, though not all of you may be allies. Still, it will be…interesting to see who ends up where. For sometimes even the gentlest soul may give in to the darkness, and the person with the most secrets ends up having the brightest light.”

Those words have your thoughts buzzing again, though the sound of glass cracking catches your attention. You look down, and to your horror, you realize the ground is breaking. You try your best to remain steady, but even when you are still it continues to crack.

“There is no need to be afraid.“ It says to you. “For now you will join the others, and myself, to the world where those scattered from their homes meet. Until then, farewell.”

Your body drops through the glass, falling once more. The scattered remains of the floor glow around you. You feel a warmth, despite your situation. Another voice calls to you, this one much gentler then the first, but you can’t quite understand what it’s saying. The glass pieces dissipate into light, temporarily blinding you, and just as you feel yourself fade away, the gentle voice speaks once again:

“You’re my only hope.”

Welcome to Kingdom Hearts: Destiny. This is an Alternate Universe Roleplay where our Original Characters take place of the heroes. As you can see, the Roleplay starts with your home already destroyed--once the In Character is up, we will be starting off in Traverse Town, regardless of affiliation. Here you will meet someone who will help kickstart your journey--whether it be the voice that guided you through your Dive to the Heart, Maleficent who just so happened to rescue you from fading away like the rest of your world, or someone who just so happen to need your help. Either way, this roleplay will be focused more on the characters and their actions towards one another, as well as the decisions made. You will see that sometimes the Light is not always good, nor is the Darkness always evil.

Now then, shall we begin?

Terms

Note that these terms are for YOU to know; the characters will eventually learn them as the plot advances.

Keyblades are mysterious weapons that choose their masters. The main power of the Keyblade, however, is the ability to seal or open the barriers between worlds, as well as to "lock" a world's Keyhole, preventing the Heartless from attacking that world's heart. As an offset of this ability, the Keyblade can also be used to lock or unlock any lock, allowing the user to access any sealed interior, whether it be a locked room, gate, or treasure chest. The Keyblade opens and shuts locks by emitting a bright, thin beam of light. In addition to its base powers, it is possible to modify a Keyblade's appearance and powers by attaching various Keychains.

Heartless are physical, living manifestations of the darkness within people's hearts. They manifest in two forms; "Pureblood" and "Emblem" (Emblem Heartless being created artificially), and they behave entirely devoid of emotion, hence the name "Heartless". Heartless, Emblem or Pureblood, possess several key characteristics that define them as Heartless. All Heartless are created when the darkness that resides in a person's heart consumes him or her, thus giving the darkness shape and form. Being born from darkness, they are mindless and act on instinct, their only goal to find hearts, and consume them to create more Heartless. But what they desire above all are the hearts of worlds, and thus they enter worlds in search of the way into the hearts of the worlds. When they consume these colossal hearts, the remains of the world form new worlds.

At the same time, Heartless seek out the users of the Keyblade, since the Keyblades are able to vanquish Heartless very effectively. In order to stop the users of the Keyblades, the Heartless use the Keyblade itself as a homing beacon, but ultimately desire to take the heart that commands it. Because of this, Keyblade wielders and everyone around them are under constant attack.

Wayward Travelers are those who have passed through the barriers separating the worlds, whether it be by accident or on purpose. By passing through the barriers, they gain their own power, manifested in a weapon. The weapon attunes to the nature of their hearts, and explains why they are able to use said weapons easily and efficiently. While they are not keyblades, they are certainly effective on the Heartless.

Dark Apprentices are those taken in by Maleficent, agreeing to serve her in exchange for whatever they want--power, fame, love, any desire they wish. In exchange, they do her bidding. They are able to wield the power of darkness, though to say they are evil is...not entirely correct. Unlike villains, they are motivated by the desire to have their wishes fulfilled. They move from place to place through the Corridors of Darkness, their hearts resistant to said darkness by an enchantment placed on them by Maleficent herself.

Rules

0. Typical RPGuild rules, no Godmodding, Powerplaying, keep everything rated T for Teen (yes I know KH is E, but who cares right?) blah blah blah. Though I may do some minor Godmodding to move things along.

1. One and a half characters per person. See below for what I mean by half.

2. Please make sure to respect your fellow peers, including your GM (that’d be me). It’s all in good fun.

3. Despite the minimum standards of the section being one paragraph for a post, for this roleplay I will be bumping it up to two paragraphs.

4. I rarely ever reject anyone. Seriously. That doesn’t mean I won’t scrutinize your CS and make sure it is up to the standard I want. If I don’t like it or it seems off, I will have you change it. Otherwise I just won’t accept you. :D

5. Variety is key to being accepted into the roleplay. For the first few people who submit their CSs, they will of course be exempt as well, they’re the first, but if you come and see a Wayward Traveler whose personality is courageous, wields a sword, and fights like a warrior, don’t think you can do the same thing and expect to get accepted. This is actually crucial, because I’m not requiring a history for the CS, so you have to be memorable in someway, okay?

6. On that note, be creative! There is no such thing as a truly original idea, but that doesn’t mean you can be boring. Even if you’re just another person with a Keyblade, maybe the fact that you can pick up any chicks within a five mile radius (you stud) is what makes you different from the others. And Wayward Travelers have NO excuse not to have fun, you can literally make your weapon ANYTHING except needles because those freak me out.

7. There are three and a half factions from which you have to choose: The Keyblade Wielders, Wayward Travelers, Dark Apprentices, and the canon Disney Villains. I say “half” because you don’t really need a CS to play a Disney Villain, though I thought keeping that as an option could be fun (maybe you wanna play Oogie Boogie in Halloween Town, or Jafar in Agrabah?) though the only exception would be Maleficent, as I will be playing her unless someone can convince me otherwise. As for the other three factions, there will be limits on each one, as too many people will confuse the plot. No one faction is more important than the other, as each person (yes, every single one of you) will have a part to play in the story I have in mind.

8. Still with me? Cool. This is supposed to be a fun RP, so have fun with it. Seriously, dude, don’t be a killjoy. Collaborate with your fellow people, set up fights, get mad, happy, sad in the IC, make sure you’re on the same page as everyone and we can have this going like a well-oiled machine. Just for fun, I’d like you to add a quote of something your character would say at the top of your CS, above your Appearance. Just an idea of what your character is like.

9. Any questions, comments or concerns will be addressed accordingly, and if for whatever reason I do not address it, feel free to pester and poke me until I do. I will do my best to answer whatever it is you want.

RWBY - Haze

Hey all, just getting home, psyched for this, and like I mentioned, "Odette" was simply a placeholder, so you guys can literally pick whatever letter and I will get another name for Miss Persinette. Though I admit Team dyNAMO sounds pretty awesome.

A Kingdom Hearts RP, Going Back to Basics

Nope, still open for now. The OOC will be up tomorrow.

Aldareen school for mages and knights

Um, if this is still open I'm interested, if not then don't mind me.

RWBY

Neptune is too awesome, can't wait to see him in battle.

A Kingdom Hearts RP, Going Back to Basics

Will push the OOC Thread to tomorrow, I am working on it as I type this, but I have a tendency to get a little sloppy the later it gets. So to compensate, I'll finish what I have, then proofread and fix whatever needs to be fixed, and then polish it off and make it all new and shiny for everyone to see.

@ JesterJaded - Definitely not limiting the amount of keyblade wielders to one, there will be a limit but I can't say how many until all the CSs come in, though there will be two more options, and I'll just put it here so people can start deciding and whatnot. Besides the obvious choice of Keyblade Wielder (Not Master, Wielder--as we have been shown, later games differentiate what a Master really is so I'll start the term now to avoid confusion), there is the choice of being a 'Traveler', someone that while doesn't have a Keyblade, gets their own enchanted weapon of choice and is effective against the Heartless (kinda like Donald and Goofy are, but I decided to give it a proper term) and more details will be revealed in the OP, though the advantage would be that the weapon can be anything--sword, shield, bow, claws, umbrellas, frying pans--so there's a little more fun with that. There is also the option of course to go ahead and side with the villains for whatever reasons you decide (revenge, power, seeking a loved one, etc., etc.,). Everyone that participates will have a role to play, so there's no pressure of having to be a Keyblade Wielder just to have importance to the plot I have in mind. I'm also pretty open minded for most ideas, but I might reject ideas if I feel they don't fit the RP (or put it off for a later time).

A Kingdom Hearts RP, Going Back to Basics

This is totally awesome, I'm sold on this group, I will start working on the OP ASAP and will let you guys know when it's up, though it's getting late so it'll probably be up tomorrow. Look forward to it!

A Modest RWBY RP

Uhhm, okay, I have this character I'd like to give a shot, I'll put it here for review. Please note the name I have there is simply a placeholder, I'm more then willing to change it to one that'll fit the team, it just felt weird not putting down any name. Also more then willing to change whatever, I just had the idea and decided to roll with it.

Name:
Aurelia Persinette
Age:
17
Gender:
Female
Race:
Human

Appearance:
Aurelia is a girl who is most notable for her very long, neatly braided golden hair--it sweeps around her knees. She is of average height around five feet and six inches, weighing in at about one hundred twenty five pounds. Her skin is somewhat pale, her facial features mostly small and round, including large, violet-hued eyes. She has a modest bust and waist, though boasts long legs. As a modest girl, she wears a long, purple dress, sleeveless with ruffles lining the top. The corset is decorated with several purple flowers that match the ones in her hair, and she wears matching wristbands. Her dress stops around her ankles and is made of a light material that flows, and she wears a pair of short, silver boots with heels.

Personality:
A somewhat timid, reserved young lady, Aurelia comes off as someone who is very quiet most of the time, especially around people she doesn't know. She'l be happily chatting to a friend one minute, then completely mute the next once someone new shows up. She's more the type of person to follow then lead and makes sure to follow directions properly. She seems slightly spacey at times, and tends to take sarcasm completely seriously (and often misses jokes, as well). When she does open up and is in her comfort zone, she is very cheerful, always having a smile on her face. She is gentle in nearly every aspect, whether it be her soft voice and her light and airy mannerisms. Despite her quiet nature, she will speak up when seeing others act maliciously, especially bullies, and won't tolerate any racism of any kind, either. In battle she is not nearly as shy, taking every fight very seriously and striving to always improve herself. She is fascinated by weaponry as well, always eager to find their inner workings and uses.

Likes:
Music, quiet days in the library, paper folding, battles for fun, weapons
Dislikes:
Strangers, cheaters, bullies, people who play/fight unfairly, overly loud noises, people who talk too much, unneeded violence

Strengths:
Long range fighting, vast knowledge of spells, quick to act, excellent healer
Weaknesses:
Relies on others for decision making, quick to lose focus and get distracted, opponents who act quicker then her casting, can't take too many hits

Weapon:
Her primary weapon is one she calls "Rampion". She uses it mainly to channel her spells, its head filled with Dust, as well as being heavy enough to whack people around with. When in need of more power, its head with warp and transform into something resembling a cannon of sorts, Dust firing off in bursts.

Semblance:
"Efficiency" -- Aurelia is able to manipulate the way her body expends energy. As a result, she can endure longer in battle then most people. She doesn't require as much nourishment or sleep, either, though when she does finally crash it takes a lot longer for her to recover. This also extends to her usage of Dust: she uses less Dust for her spells, and is able to fire off much more then the average person.

History:
Aurelia was born into a family of much wealth, and she was loved very dearly by her family. She was spoiled beyond reason, showered with gifts nearly every day, her mother and father loving, and she was happy. She did remember, however, that one day, suddenly everything changed. The happy childhood became one of much fighting and arguments. Her family became distant, her mother and father moreso, and it killed her to see everyone act that way. She knew it was somehow her fault--she could never forget the way her family members would glare at her, throwing her nasty looks, how her father's loving look turned to one made of pure sadness, though no one ever bothered to tell her why. And so she got her own little shell and stayed in it for as long as she could. It was not until her mother died that the fighting stopped, but now she felt a deep, painful sadness instead. She did not understand why anything had happened, and as frustrating as it was, there was nothing she could do. And so she just accepted it.
The so called ray of sunshine was that now her father was like the way he used to be--kind, loving, and slightly smothering, though she loved it. He was back to normal...but she could never go back to the way she was. He understood, gently pulling her out of her shell, having the patience of a saint when she hid. While this was equally as confusing, it was easier to adapt to. Her father raised her the best he could, though sometimes when he thought she wasn't looking, he would have an expression of regret, but she never got the courage to ask him what was wrong.
Years down the road, Aurelia discovered Dust, often looking towards the stores the same way most kids would look at candy stores. Her father got the hint and started practicing with her, showing her how to use it properly and warning her of the dangers. She then asked him what Dust was really used for, and he explained that Dust was what Hunters would use to fight off the Grim. She remembered perking up at the story, After much pleading, tears, and a very reluctant father's blessing, Aurelia enrolled into Sanctum Academy. Fighting was an alleviating experience. It was actually a little scary how free she felt in battle, but it was with pride that she found her calling as well as developed her own style. After much studying, many bruises, the discovery of weaponry and the delights of battle, she was accepted into Beacon, more then ready and willing to become a Huntress.

Persinette Family History--The Truth Behind Aurelia

The family of Rampion were once well known in weapon manufacturing, only to fail when they were exposed to use Faunus slave labor. With their wealth quickly declining, they became desperate to keep their money. And so the family of Persinette came forward, offering them wealth, in exchange for closing down their company and to give their eldest daughter, a woman of astounding beauty by the name of Angelique, to the Persinette's eldest son, a young man with no ambition named Dominic, in marriage. The two were wed and locked into an unloving relationship, as Angelique resented being used by her family. Still, they were expected to continue the family line, and so Aurelia was born, and she was doted on by all.
That isn't to say she fixed their relationship, as Dominic grew suspicious as Aurelia got older. You see, both Angelique and Dominic were dark haired and dark eyed, and yet Aurelia had blonde hair and violet eyes. He refused to believe that Aurelia was his daughter, and the two families got into a feud that would become common gossip. Unfortunately, this extended to the young girl; what once was a cheerful, happy child became very enclosed and afraid of nearly everyone. She would often hide wherever she could and not speak to anyone for days, afraid of getting yelled at and blamed for something she couldn't control.
For many years this continued, and one day, Angelique grew very ill. On her deathbed, she begged him to stop the fighting between the families, regretting that she let it continue for so long. It was here Dominic asked if Aurelia was really his daughter, and he was heartbroken when she would not respond. She admitted to having an affair shortly after they were married. Still, she asked that he take care of Aurelia, as once she was dead no one would take care of her. Angelique died shortly after that, and despite a lingering anger, Dominic made sure to try to go with her words. Despite her wishes, the two families shunned one another, and after Angelique's death, they never spoke or acknowledged one another ever again. While he failed at that, he made sure he wouldn't make the same mistake with Aurelia--even if she wasn't his blood, he admitted that she was the last person he truly loved.
