Yes you can totally do that with the weapon. All that is fine. Just how would the elf who summoned her disappear? Monster? Drowning? A part of the story you know but we don't? It can be left unknown to your character of course.


Well, part of the reason for going this route was the similarity to Excalibur (though obviously not that)... in being that maybe the sword is something of legend or myth. How the elf disappears, as far as I'm concerned my character has no idea where she went to. That can be left at that or something that can be introduced later in the story, I think. What are your thoughts?

Hi there Lyla! Nice to meet you. I am well how are you?

I am glad you like our roleplay and we'd love for you to join, however, the idea seems a bit far from the plot and honestly confused me a little bit. Can we do instead that the girl stumbles upon a blade and gets taken through a rift like the other humans? She can even bring the blade if you want.

I am not sure what you mean by "the weapon acts as a catalyst for a magic befitting the blade" but you can have her imbue the weapon with the kinesis magic you choose with no issue. You can choose from earth, wind, fire, lightning, or water magic. As for the lake thing, she can be brought into an avalian lake where an elf is there to perhaps hand her the sword instead?

I like the way you think, but of course to be fair to the way the story is and the other human characters, you might have to level with us a little here and try to find a middle ground.


Nice to meet you Princess! I'm doing pretty well - been a while since I've been on the forums. ^_^ I don't mind compromising at all! Of course it's your guy's world and story I'm entering into, so I came with the expectation of working it out together, with the assumption the idea might be fitting!

My communication can be sometimes choppy - not on purpose mind you - but sometimes I don't always have the words to properly relay my thoughts. With the rift, you and I are on the same exact page... I had meant that as she dived into the lake, she was caught by the rift from this particular elf who then gives her the sword and then mysteriously vanishes (I'm a sucker for mysterious beginnings). When she comes back out of the lake, she is in Avalia.

To clear up, "the weapon acts as a catalyst for a magic befitting the blade", I had only meant that.. in truth.. I wasn't sure what magic would be most suited for her. I imagine her using the blade itself to channel the magic (for example, if it was lightning, she could imbue the sword with lightning or point it and shoot a bolt). This is probably where I need some help. I tend to like water a lot, but I'm a fan of fire and air too. ^_^

Hello! How is everyone? Hope everything is going great. ^_^ This role-play caught my eye and was curious if my character concept / inspiration would fit here - now feel free to say, "I'm sorry, but she really doesn't fit in this world". Believe me, I know it can be hard to have a concept and try and squeeze her in somewhere, so I won't be offended. The idea though is from the basis of the King Arthurian legend in that a girl stumbles upon an ancient blade that instead of getting the -kinesis powers humans usually get (I made sure to read before posting this!), the weapon acts as a catalyst for a magic befitting the blade. One of the images I had was something akin to her seeing a woman falling in a lake and diving after her only to realize it was an elven figure who, while floating, hands her the sword and she finds herself in Avalia. That's my idea so far anyways! I hope to hear from you soon, either way! I'm also on discord. ^_^
APER - Acute Prorogued Exposure and Reprocessing


The year is 3541 and humanity has found its way into a surprisingly stable culture and world peace - especially with the introduction of alien races and the Unified Republic that spans at least half of the galaxy. Human culture is wholly unique in the sense that it's embraced a cleaner though punkish look, which some historians would likely relate to "cyberpunk". If for nothing else, this often sets humans apart from many of the other races that sport softer buildings and less busy clothing styles often leading them to nickname humans as "busy" or less politely as "a swarm". Regardless of this, humans get along with other species fairly well in a chameleon-like fashion, being the social creatures they've always been. Generally speaking, all of this was possible due the awareness of mental health that especially wiped across the world in 2083.

Therapy is now considered to be as normal as a check-up, the human race as a whole agreeing that mental health being just as important as exercising. Though it hasn't and will never rule out the horrors that some people have gone through, after all mental checks are as voluntary as are physical ones, excluding the processing of particular jobs and their own requirements for employment. There has been a movement to attempt to legally force these mental checks, but a lot of people are on the fence about it, claiming freedom to go in when you need it suits a better environment to face issues.

A new technology has been developed recently called APER or Acute Prorogued Exposure and Reprocessing for those that have trouble or resisting other types of therapy - it is an intensive VR module that stimulates the mind into creating its environment and the traumas related there of. With the help of "divers", these individuals can have help facing these traumas in a direct and empowering way. The success rate so far as proven to be near 90% effective when other methods were close to 3% effective.

Wherever you come from, whatever your race is, whatever your experiences are - you're a rookie "diver". You've been through a few scenarios before and they are roughly the same. The mind of the patient paints a clear picture of the immediate surroundings until the area (room, mall, street, etc) becomes blurry. Depending on the patient, the trauma can be instantly visible while others take some detective work to understand the underlying issue that is present. So far you've been successful and with rather high praise, so your supervisor has recommended you for a special patient suffering from CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Disorder) who seems highly resistant to normal methods. The staff already has taking a liking to her for her sweetness and kind nature and somewhere along the line, someone has really pushed for her treatment. This is where you come in.


Hey guys, sorry. Might be better to move on - I was out of commission for a bit because of going to the ER for my eye and I have a couple (or a few) more medical visits to do for various things. My eye is okay now though! Doing a checkup tomorrow.
Hopefully you guys can be patient or it might be better to leave me out of this one - up to you collectively or the GM. I just started antidepressants and while it takes a little bit to take full effect, I have felt a little different. I'm not 100% depressed but it is making me a little sleepy and such and so finding time to write between chores, etc. has been hard.

If you guys are willing to wait, I can post this week but I won't be offended if you move on without me. I know how hard it can be to wait on one person. <3

Sarah never thought much of sleeping into sleep. These days, it was between that, reading, eating, and drinking - sometimes when she was adventurous, she'd take a walk or go to the mall. So when sleep came suddenly, she apathetically accepted its embrace, however when she opened her eyes - she saw herself slumped over the chair with the book making a 'thump' on the chair. A blink or two and she just found herself staring, like she was in some bad dream - nightmare? No, being dead wasn't not the worst thing she could've imagined happening to her.

Then she began to slow slowly, causing her to look around in panic as she tried to grasp what was going on. As she went higher, she sighed, thinking to herself, 'I did die.. didn't I?' She groaned and sighed as she started her ascent upwards only to feel a sudden rush of a pull that forced her to yipe sharply. Phasing through the ceiling of her house, she looked up and took a deep breath - or what she imagined to be one - and enjoyed the rushing of clouds, zipping past the moon with a thoughtful smile on her face. She was ready to accept a release from her pain.

As she found herself flying into a bright light, she felt a warmth - at first wondering if this was some form heaven, pursing her lips and curious if she even deserved such a pleasant realm. Her thoughts were interrupted as the heat quickly soared into almost flesh-tearing flames and her mind went blank with pain, causing her to simply scream. No thoughts occurred, only feelings, of deep sadness and anger at herself. She did her best to mentally block the pain out and simply did the only thing she could, which was to endure.

She couldn't remember how long the pain lasted, how hot it had gotten, but it disappeared almost as quickly as it had come. It left her shocked and bewildered, spinning aimlessly in a void that was just full of emptiness - her mind only able to comprehend it as black though not of anything she knew before - not space, not darkness, not shadows, just nothing. Instead of fear, she felt peace and relief at finally just existing within nothing and no worries or troubles to bother her anymore.

A flash caught her eyes though - then another. They were like bright bubbles of light, asking for attention and giggling at her as they slowly began to blind her. She had no choice but to close her eyes. The rush of wind against her body caused them to snap back open though as she found herself above the clouds, floating above a mountainous landscape, beautiful and snow covered - wait, not floating, falling!

Her eyes widened at the realization as she started to fall through the scream and screamed, "what the hell!?" This she could not comprehend - was she alive again? Only to be falling towards some sort of second death? And how the fuck did she end up so high. She tried to look behind her, expecting to see a plane - maybe she was drugged and pushed off for her money - but nothing. There was nothing and she was simply falling. To her death. She'd soon hit the ground now. What was on the other side of it this time?

Everything went black then.
@Akayaofthemoon I like her! :D
