Dreamweavers

You're missing a basic history, and does her appearance change at all in the dream world?

Edit: Damn ninjas. This post was directed at Luna.

Dreamweavers

Omnipotent - having unlimited power; able to do anything.

This isn't a super power RP. You can do anything you want inside the dream.

Dreamweavers

Anime, realistic, painting (not abstract), or a bathroom selfie. So long as it gets the point across.

The Dawn of Superheroes: Act I (continued)

Okay, Emily's CS is in the bin. Had a much harder time finding the character thread than I should have, but that's just me being stupid.

The Dawn of Superheroes: Act I CS Thread (continued)

Comet

Name: Emily Armine "Comet"

---

Gender: Female

---

Age: 14

---

Super Powers (if any): Aerokinesis – the ability to control air with her mind. She can float and fly by creating a strong updraft to lift her body. She can attack either using wind directly, or using projectiles inside the wind. She also uses her power in negative, to create vacuums by pulling air away from an area. This is often more deadly then her normal wind manipulations. When she releases a vacuum suddenly it creates an incredibly destructive implosion as the air rushes back into the space. By creating a vacuum path where she wants to move and a strong wind pushing her from the other side, she is able to move or physically attack with incredible speed, which also means incredible power. However, because her body is human this strategy is liable to injure herself just as much as her opponent.

---

Background: She grew up with his parents in Newtown. She loved her parents, even though they fought often. She was a good kid, perfectly normal in every way, if a little bit of an outsider. Her powers manifested quite suddenly at the age of 13, when the building her family lived in exploded. She'd been arguing with her parents when it had happened. She hadn't meant to. She ran away before anyone showed up. Apparently, no one inside the building could have survived the blast. For all intents and purposes, Emily Armine was dead.

Knowing that she couldn't stay in Newtown, she fled to Oldtown. The traumatic way she'd come into his powers scared her away from a life of crime.
Well, she does steal, but only to survive, and only from those she deemed bad people. She "survived" pretty comfortably with her little side-business. Okay, she's a criminal technically. She'll steal anything from anyone she deems corrupt for the right price. She doesn't tell her clients how she get's the goods, and they don't ask.
Unlike many other supers, she doesn't need a disguise to hide her identity. Because her power is invisible and doesn't need to originate from her body, there is no outward sign when she is using her power. She prefers to fight at long range from a good vantage point; preferrably one surrounded by a crowd of people. The target won't be able to tell who is attacking, and won't attack a large group of civilians.

She's lived in Oldtown for the past year, generally keeping her head down. She uses her powers to do good without anyone knowing it. She does things like save falling people, stop robberies (oh the irony), and put out fires anonymously. Usually her involvement is just passed off as good luck. She's remained generally undetected in Oldtwon so far.

---

Description/Image: She has light blonde hair that goes down to her waist and glacier blue eyes. She usually has a good-natured smile on her face, and she usually wears jeans and a blue shirt.

Despite the advantages of fighting anonymously, she does have a costume she occasionally wears. She does this seemingly stupid act in an attempt to keep hope alive. So long as the people think there is a good hero, they will keep hoping for change. She wears a cloak made of hundreds of strips of blue fabric. When she's flying she looks like a blue meteor, and when she's floating she looks like a jellyfish. Underneath the cloak is white armor, to protect her body from her own recoil. She wears either a Comedy or Tragedy mask to cover her face. If she's wearing the Comedy mask she will fly and attack physically, and if she's wearing the Tragedy mask she will fly and create implosions. These restrictions are self-imposed though, and she is free to violate them whenever it suits her. She wears the Comedy mask over the Tragedy one.


(Just the cloak and mask, not the wearers.)

---

Personality: She is nice enough, but doesn't become attached to people. She doesn't easily trust others and is wary around men; she has been surrounded by a bad crowd since she fled. She is a pessimist by nature, but does her best to make the situation better. She is skeptical about anything others tell her, and prefers to learn things for herself. But she keeps all of this negative to herself, and projects a happy young girl for the sake of those around her. She keeps her hate and fear bottled up inside. On the inside she is still a little girl though. Just a scared little girl in a very scary world.

Her personality changes when she is wearing one of her masks. When no one can see her face she can be anyone she wants. She can be carefree and happy, as Comedy is. Or she can be cold and calculating, always in control of the situation, bending her rage and sorrow into a weapon, as Tragedy does. Her Comedy persona... is happy. She laughs and makes jokes as she's punching things into oblivion. It's pretty scary to witness. Her Tragedy persona is apathetic. She is calm and efficient. It's even scarier than the Comedy persona because unlike Comedy, Tragedy is often aiming to kill. One direct hit and there won't even be a body left. Both personas put the lives of bystanders above anything else.

Her masked personas are how she copes with her life. She lives in constant danger, afraid of being found, afraid that someone will recognize her. She is sad, both for herself and the world she was born into. She is sad about her parents, whom she never had a chance to mourn, and whom she killed.

I haven't accepted or denied anyone at this point, so feel free to throw together a character. I might judge characters as I get them, or I might wait until a few are posted and then judge them. I'll still be accepting characters until I decide that I'm not.

It's a very complicated decision process I have developed and patented.

Edit: Inception? Not really... Actually, the only similarity I can see is that both have something to do with dreams.

Arc One: Sleeping Gods

Interest Check

---

You see a man before you. Tall, muscular, well-dressed in a black suit and matching hat. The only odd thing about him is his tie: dark blue with tiny moons and suns. The man leans down to look you in the eyes, placing his hat on top of your head, revealing a perfectly bald head. The man just stares for a moment, and then a wry smile breaks across his face. Never breaking eye contact, he begins to speak:

"Welcome, dreamweaver. I never thought I'd see the day, but it's true. You, child, are special. You don't experience dreams like other people do. Would you believe that there are people who go nights without dreaming? It's true. Some go their entire life without ever once having a single dream that they can recall. But not you. You dream every time you fall asleep, and you don't forget your dreams like most people do. No, not you, you remember a dream just the same as you remember what you had for breakfast yesterday, probably even clearer. And that's not all. A dreamweaver is the master of their slumbering mind. Most people are stuck following the whims of their subconscious mind in their dreams, but you can control yours. A dreamweaver shapes their dreams into whatever form pleases them. Until the morning sun forces open your eyes, you are a sleeping god. You are a dreamweaver, and this is your story."

The man pushes his hat down over your eyes, and when you pull it off, he is gone.

Taken from the Interest Check:

IVIasterJay said
This RP is based off a story I wrote a long time ago about a boy who escaped his bleak reality by finding asylum inside his dreams. I think the concept would scale well to having multiple characters, especially since the planned sequel to that story would have done just that.

So all of the players would be kids, teens at the oldest, who all go to the same school or to schools in the same close area. The characters would be completely normal kids during the day, going to school, dealing with family, hanging out with friends, all that jazz. The real fun, and the core of the story, is when they fall asleep. You would be playing as a child who experiences lucid dreaming, which means they are aware that they are dreaming. Beyond that, each is capable of controlling their dreams, essentially becoming an omnipotent god until they wake. Yes, you heard it right: Omnipotent. Anything you want, anything at all, you can create inside their dreamspace. Whip yourself up some futuristic starships or throw together your very own non-Euclidean Lovecraftian world; be a wizard like Hairy Pothead or swim in cold fire or blow bubbles into stars; emulate reality or shred the rule book and scatter the pieces.

The very beginning will most likely feature very little character interaction beyond seeing each other in school or if your characters are friends, allowing time to establish who your character is and what it is they do inside their dreams. What really marks the beginning of the story is the first contact: when one player enters into another's dreamspace.

Would they assume it just another part of the dream? Would they recognize a stranger tearing through their world? For that matter, would their dream appearance even match their waking one? Would they tell anyone else in the waking world about their dreams? And what would happen to the mind if two omnipotent gods battled it out inside one's head?

I'd leave everything after opening that Pandora's box up to you. Whether you end up killing each other to protect your clashing realities, or if you end up banding together to become the keepers of a whole knew reality is up to you. Every once in a while there may be an unforeseeable event thrown in to rattle the cages, but not often.

If you'd be interested in an RP were you change from an impotent child to an omnipotent god and back again with a turn of the moon, let me know. I'm very willing to take in any and all feedback and suggestions to make an RP that is fun for everyone.

Rules:

List

1) God mode as much as you want. You're omnipotent, so if you want to blast someone's face off with your mind, you damn well can. Being killed in the dream will not wake you up because you can't be killed. Getting your faced reduced to atoms is only a minor inconvenience for you, so stop your crying and pull yourself back together! That said, if two characters are going to really go at it, please run everything by me first. I can't be responsible for everyone who reads the posts overdosing on excessive insanity.

2) No metagaming please and thank you. Omnipotent is not the same as omniscient.

3) This is casual, so you don't need to post novels. I'm happy with a small paragraph, and less is fine if you're [interacting with / talking to / kicking the crap out of] another character. Just don't post one liners, or I'll be forced to kill your character then and there, and possibly their family and any pets they may or may not have as well.

4) Try to post a minimum of twice a week, every three days would be good. If you can't hit that goal every one in a while, I'm okay with it. Just make sure to let me know if you're going to be absent for any length of time.

5) Time is very important in this RP. I know it's a pain, but please post a timestamp at the beginning and end of every post. This is to keep track of when things are occurring in the waking world. Time is relative in the dream world, so just estimate how long the character has been asleep in the waking world for the timestamps. If you've read this and are fine with it, please add a timestamp of when you initially post your CS at the very bottom of your character sheet. I cannot consider your CS if you skip this step.

6) You can only have one character. NPCs are fine, make a billion if you need, but the dreamer is your character.

7) I'm looking for five characters, so if there are more characters posted than open spots, I will choose the ones I like best. Feel free to post unfinished sheets and ask me for input as much as you want, just know that an unfinished sheet can't be accepted until it's complete.

8) Don't be Batman. No one killed your parents. Drama and dark tragedies are fine, but not in the backstory of a kid. Feel free to get however dark or silly as you want IC.

9) Keep the OOC informal. We're all friends here. Don't blame the player for the actions of the character and all that sentimental junk.

10) A RP is only there to be fun. If you ever want to leave this RP for any reason at all, just tell me.

11) Feel free to debate anything about the RP. Rules, characters, IC posts, plotlines, story arcs, or just plain random shit. If it exists, it's up for debate. It isn't too hard to convince me to change something so long as the other people involved in the RP are fine with it as well.

12) I dunno, whatever I add in the future I guess.

Powers that are off-limits (when another dreamer is present):

List

1) Mind reading - Only to prevent metagaming.
2) Time travel - No, you cannot go back to before they walked into your dream to lock them out.
3) "Poofing" another character out of existence - That's just no fun. Be creative with your omnipotence!
4) Anything else I decide to add - Should I see something used in a way that breaks the RP wide open, it'll probably get thrown on this list.

And the CS:

Character Sheet

Name: No aliases please, this isn't a conspiracy murder RP.
Age: Keep it young, below 16 at least, preferably younger.
Gender: This one should be pretty easy.
Appearance: Pic or description, I don't really care what, so long as it gets the point across, I'm fine with it. Whichever you post, make sure to clarify how their appearance differs from waking world to dream world, if at all.
Personality: Make it as basic and nondescriptive as possible. The personality should be formed organically in the IC, I just don't want two characters being exactly the same
History: Keep it brief. They are just your average kids, remember. No ridiculous dramatic episodes please.
Thoughts: This part is mandatory. Toss out some ideas or thoughts that you think might be fun to try in this kind of open environment. An RP is meant to be fun, so I like incorporating as much input as possible from those involved. Be as serious or ridiculous as you want here, I won't bite.
Dreams: And this one is completely optional. What does your character like to do in their dreams? Do they have continuing dreams, or is it always different? Why are they creating the dreams that they are? Feel free to ignore this if you'd rather save it for the IC, just think about it for later.

Accepted Characters:
Aaron Walker - IVIasterJay
Gin Des'triage - Marshal
Holly Bensen - definetheunique
Darby O'neal - DemonTongue

Ezo is a ninja cowboy, therefore your argument is invalid.

But seriously, anachronisms in clothing.
