Hey guys, I have a friend who wants to join but uhh, he can't post it tomorrow, but he had some questions he would like me to ask on his behalf first.

1. Zone 1 interests him the most however he was wondering would it be cool for his zone form to have wings as well as pyrokinesis as his actual power, he's kind of going for a half-demon vibe.

2. Also would it be cool for his character to have a journal where he has written his experiences zoning, and being the snob bastard he is, ultimate goal is to sell it to the media?

@GingerBoi123

1. If he's from Zone 1, wings are a no-go. He could pull off a demon kind of thing in Zone 2 though, with some fire breath. It's not as strong, but it can still get a job done.

2. What Urban said. If he wants his journal he can either ask Eli to get it for him or just grab some office paper. Selling it to the media is gonna be hard though, him being stuck in an isolated facility and such. But a boy can dream.

EDIT: @Zombehs ya big goof. You dun did the thing y'aint supposed ta. (It's fine. Just edit that post with your character sheet once it's accepted.)

Elias Winzer

NAME: Elias Winzer
AGE: 28
GENDER: Male
ZONE: N/A

PERSONALITY: Eli will initially come across as the type who’s snarky, work-focused, and quick to take charge of almost any situation. At his core, however, he’s a decent person. Years of constant working, guiding Somniatis agents into the unknown, and losing trust in people he once looked up to, have all left him in a state of mind that does not easily allow things like friendships and admirations to grow. But behind all that is a man who desires nothing more than to see both himself and those he works with succeed in all their endeavors, and he will often go to surprising lengths to see such things through to the end. While it is never immediately apparent, he does care about the wellbeing of the Zoners, if only so that they can maintain their capability and willingness to continue fighting.

HISTORY: Elias Winzer, otherwise known as Eli, or “Operator”, is the appointed leader of Somniatis’ ongoing effort to construct a defense against the otherworldly beings appearing on Earth. He is the man in charge of locating Zoners across the globe, sending agents to retrieve them, welcoming them to the facility, accommodating them to the facility, and guiding them in their excursions into the Zones. He is the only known individual capable of operating the Nexus Projector, the machine that allows the Zoners to enter any Zone at any time, at the cost of reduced power effectiveness.

As far as he is willing to say, Eli has been with Somniatis for years now, and was a supporting figure in the construction of the Nexus Projector alongside the group’s founder, Robert Kilander, who passed away just under two years ago. Beyond all that, you won’t get much without asking politely.

APPERANCE

• PHYSICAL:

• IN-ZONE: N/A

CREATING YOUR CHARACTER

---

• Your character is a normal person living on earth in the year 2034. And I mean normal. You are free to mold them how you wish, but keep in mind the cool stuff won't be happening until they're actually Zoning. So for now, keep it mundane.
• Being that this is set in a somewhat distant future, advanced technologies exist. Improved methods of transportation (but no flying or floating cars), 2D holographic projections, simple robotics (humanoid service drones are around, but very rare, and meant only for top-tier companies and rich folk), and other such things. As for the state of the world, there's no major conflict going on save for the invasions of the Zone beings. Keep all this in mind when concocting your character's backstory.
• The setting as of now is in mid-August. The attacks began around May, involving creatures such as hulking, red, glowing humanoids with unreal powers, biomechanical abominations, feral alien creatures, etc, etc. Your character started dreaming themselves into their specific Zone a week or so after the first attack.
• Your character belongs to one of the three Zones. Zone 1, the red city, will give your character an elemental power (pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, etc). Zone 2, the wilderness, physically alters your character into an animal or beast of some form or another, such as a wolf, or a griffon, or a deer/bull hybrid (mix and match parts from mundane/mythological creatures, if you wish). Zone 3 is an underground factory network housing tunnels and chambers full of mechanically augmented sludge and flesh monsters. Here, your character will have both a biological power (toxic bile, bone manipulation, etc), and any range of mechanical augmentations (like prosthetic metal arms for better punches). What you need to do is choose one of these Zones to house your character in, and then go from there.
• Your character is not allowed any weapons or companions in the Zones. To start, that is. Such things will come about soon after the game begins.
• The main point is that after your character became very immersed in their Zoning while they slept, they were whisked away one night by figures unknown without even realizing they had been abducted. Don’t go beyond the point where they wake up – that will be covered later.

All of that is the important stuff. Anything needs explaining, just ask. Here’s the sheet. When you're done, PM it to me.

SYLLABUS OF NO-NOS (RULES)

Honestly, just don’t do anything you wouldn’t do in any other role-play like this, and you’ll be good. One gripe though, no “darkness” powers. It just- it doesn’t work in any good capacity. It’s not an element, and it’s not a biological function. It’s just… it’s nothing. Literally. Otherwise, yeah, you’re good to go.

General info regarding mortality.

If your character's body on Earth expires while they're Zoning in REM, both die. If their Zone-self expires in REM, only their Zone-self dies, and their Earth body loses its link to the Zone entirely. So that's it. Game over.

If a character's Zone-self expires while using the Nexus Projector, however, a fail-safe expulsion system will eject them from the Zone and back into our reality, effectively translating to "unlimited lives" as long as they use the Nexus Projector.
