Eldora Project: The Drifter's Demise (Semi AU/OPEN)

Eldora Project: The Drifter's Demise

Alternate universes has become quite common since the discovery of Eldora Project. Although it was no secret knowledge that alternate universes exist in a different dimensional planes than that of where humans exist, the restriction of moving strictly in three dimension deemed them to perceive these multiverses almost quite impossible. But through the Drift, a device invented by a group of scientists, an individual is granted to plug in his consciousness, recalibrate the consciousness into a precise frequency, and then recreate a temporary vessel, an avatar, that meets a universe's requirements in order for him to traverse it in a relatively safe way.

Ideally, the goal of Eldora Project is only to discover what lies in these universes, and use it to further improve human's way of living. But at some point in the project, things got a little shady. The knowledge of the project captured the attention of several underground personalities, and some even managed to acquire illegal and unevaluated Drifts. Huge syndicates started to reproduce the leaked Drifts and sold them at high prices in the black market.

Due to the faulty products, some palpable issues started to arise. Some people who had managed to get their hands on the illegal Drifts started to experience problems. Majority of the number of affected individuals seem to have a notable change in their psychological states, most of them acquired psychological disorders ranging from clinical depression, insomnia, and certain personality issues (ocd, bipolar to mild cases of schizophrenia), after the use of the said devices. But some serious cases were reported that even physiological change occurred to a certain number of individuals.

There are speculations spreading around the scientific community that the supposedly one-way function of the Drift has been voided, that a foreign element from the multiverse had managed to hijack these individuals mind and body. The creators of the Drift believes that these individuals' consciousness still exist somewhere in those dimensions, somehow trapped in their avatars, and the only way to save them is to send people to those alternate universes to retrieve them and put them back on their original bodies. But the process will not be so easy.

First, they need to subdue the affected individual in order to put it on the Drift. This is where the real problem lies, since supposing the hijacker liked his new body, some may put on a fight. Depending on the level of affinity the hijacker had with the individual's mind and body, some may have retained their special abilities from their respective universes making them a serious threat to the public. But once the body is subdued however, it is only a matter of extracting the foreign 'being' from the body through the Drift and then guiding the original person's consciousness back to his body.

The Drifters is a special team formed to handle cases of the misuse of illegal Drifts. Though they are not known publicly, they are neither a secret group. People only knew them by name, but knew nothing of what they do. They basically track down people who owns unauthorized Drifts, and handle the problem before it gets out of hand. They also handle cases of individuals whose been 'hijacked', and get them fixed if possible. Rumors say that the team are also hijacked in some way, that the government grants them permission to do so however scientifically unethical it may seem.

Levels of Affinity:

• Level I - no major changes in this level, usually the affected is having a mild case of insomnia.


• Level II - some minor changes in psychological state, a few strange patterns in speaking or the way they act are observed. They still somehow manages to take control.


• Level III - they are physically exhausted due to lack of sleep, and they tend to become unstable, having an outburst or feats of any kind. Having slight to no control at all.


• Level IV - some minor changes in physique, they may have become thinner, or thicker, or taller, some may even got smaller. In some special cases, the affected may also change in a way they look a little older or younger than what they originally look like. Affected retains signs from Level III.


• Level V - the affected is a completely different person without having any memories of their life before they used the Drift. A change in physique is expected (usually still human in form).


• Level VI - signs from Level V is retained. But their bodies are somehow starting to form in a none human way (if it applies to their Hijacker).


• Level VII - they are a completely different person, physical features are entirely different from before they used of the Drift (may be human in form or not depending on the hijacker).


• Level VIII - signs from Level VII is retained. The affected can now project abilities beyond human capabilities.


• Level IX - signs from Level VIII is retained. The affected is considered potentially hostile to a certain number of civillians.


• Level X - signs from Level VIII is retained. The affected is considered as a potential threat to national safety.

Note: We're all playing as a member of the Drifters. Drifters has a Level II affinity with their Hijacker, which means they still have 70% of their original self, and 30% of the hijacker from a universe which may include some their abilities. The member is still in charge of the body, having the hijacker inside their head as a separate individual lending them their abilities whenever they require them to. This in contrast to the affected individuals who used illegal Drifts, since they are 100% hijacked, and have no control over their bodies (the hijacker is in control).

Name: Nicholas Abrahms a.k.a. Silvertongue

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Silvertongue

Role: Drifter

Name of Hijacker: Mortimer Folchart

Universe: Inkheart

Ability/Power: He has the ability to bring fictional objects and characters to life in the "real world" by reading them aloud from books or from any written materials. Sometimes he can also bring certain circumstances (a change in the weather, or in the season, or on very rare cases, a time shift) from a book to life. All of these are possible with the condition that when he brings something from the world of fiction, something of the same value is taken from the real world.

Personality: There's a huge change in the way he acts after he took the part of being a Drifter. he became quite reserved, and a little detached towards people. The only thing he seem to pay attention now are his books. His love for books went from being fond to someone who urgently and constantly needed them, which led into a frequent book hoarding spree. This aside, he seems to be his usual sharp and philosophical self on most good days.

Background: Nicholas grew up in a wealthy family. At a very young age, Nicholas was exposed to the vast world of fiction, which he came to love almost immediately. As a child, he lived at the family's ancestral house northwest of Sicily. But when he got to college, he decided to move to England to fulfill his dream of becoming a writer.

Along with a few friends, he started his own small publishing firm in Italy right after he graduated college. A huge portion of his enormous trust fund went mostly to his firm and his career on writing which both proved to be a success. Soon he was able to published his very first book, which became a hit a few months after the book was released. At this time, he met with Robert Bright, one of the founders of Eldora Project. As soon as the old scientist told him of what he does, Nicholas got instantly interested and even offered him fundings for the project, which the scientist accepted politely.

Nicholas witnessed the project's progress. And so when things got slightly out of hand, he didnt offered yet another help to his old friend. He volunteered himself to become a Drifter, changing the course of his life forever by allowing someone from the multiverse to live at a certain portion of his mind.

Other: As above, so below.

One Piece: An Era of Anarchy (Open)

They were greeted by an entourage of petty officers with a dozen or so soldiers lining up on each side of the dock. Nicholas was sort of expecting something like this would happen, there're currently 3 high ranking officers of G-5 in his ship, and it would look like an insult if they didnt get at least this much of attention. Nicholas breathed in deeply, and then exhaled.

"Where are they?" Nicholas whispered to Tamaki beside him as they wait for the 5 petty officers to arrive.

"They're not in their rooms, I am sure of it. I have knocked several times, but both have not answered. I assume they're somewhere on the ship. I have already ordered a few of our men to find them." Tamaki answered.

Nicholas has not seen Hajime and Drake since their last conversation, and he's growing a little anxious. The 2 Commodores must be there before the entourage notices their absence or else, Nicholas will have to go to a lot of trouble of explaining the situation to them.

"Captain Rogelio, do you mind finding them for me?" Nicholas said turning to Rogelio, "I would find them myself but, the officers will be here soon and there will be a lot of problem if none of the G-5 representatives receives them. I'll buy you enough time, but please hurry."

I wonder where should I place Piko so she will be able to meet with the rest of the Black Scar pirates. *thinks hard*

Nicholas was silent for awhile. Its not like the Vice Admiral to greet people and do catch up, no, he was too busy for those kind of things. So Nicholas suspect that there was something else. So he waited patiently for his father to go on.

"I'd rather not drag you into this, but the order has been made." Vice Admiral Momonga started to say, "In the next 24 hours, Kaido will be executed. Pirates will come, I have no doubt with that. That old fool still has his claws tucked away somewhere and when the right time comes, he will use it again whatever it takes. Pirates never go down without a fight."

Of course, Nicholas knew that. Kaido is not just a normal pirate, he's a Yonkou. He will do everthing in his power, no matter how little is left of that power, to cause damage before a he finally leaves this world. Nicholas said nothing, but waited patiently.

"Akainu refused to grant the Warlords audience to Kaido's execution. They can no longer be trusted, he knew that, but he cannot relieve them of their duties yet. They may be pirates, but they still hold a portion of power that we can use."

Nicholas gapped at his foster father, clearly surprised to hear this news, "But if he removes the Shichibukai in the execution, who will look over the platform?" Although there was not an actual law stating that the Shichibukai should overlook the execution platform, it falls to them the duty of making sure that no one gets closer to the platform while the Admirals take care of the rest of the job.

Vice Admiral Momonga frowned, as if Nicholas had said something stupid, "They have not done their duties properly the last time, how could we expect them to do it now? We cant afford to let the past repeat itself. It was rather wise of Akainu to remove them if I say so myself."

"So what's the catch?" Nicholas asked finally.

"They want all high ranking officers, starting to Rear Admirals and up, to attack Kaido all at once at the first sign of pirate presence in the execution."

Nicholas felt chills creeping up his spine. Thinggs has gone way too far from his expectations. "Isnt that way too extreme? Shouldnt the 3 Admirals be enough to take him down?"

"They want to decimate Kaido to the very last particle in the fastest and most efficient way possible. They cant let anyone to replicate another Yonkou's ability again. Apparently, its the only way they can think off."

Nicholas sighed. He knew there was no point of arguing now. Everything will move according to plan whether he likes it or not, and the only thing he can do now is to accept it, without question, and may be, just may be, everything that they will do will be justified there after. "24 hours huh? I think there's nothing we can do about it."

Noticing his Vice Captain for the first time, Nicholas called Tamaki to come closer. Tamaki was Nicholas' childhood friend, they were from the same island, and had been adopted by Vice Admiral Momonga at the same time, so whatever the Vice Admiral had to tell to Nicholas, Tamaki can hear it, he trust both of them. "Hey, Tamaki, I guess I'll be using that after all. Would you mind taking my bed outside? I'm going to need all the energy I can store before the execution." Nicholas said.

"Oy Niko! Isnt it a little dangerous to use that now? Besides, once you used it, you can no longer fight anymore." Tamaki protested.

"Tamaki-kun is right. You dont really have to use it." Momonga said, his voice sounded a bit concerned which something that Nicholas rarely hears from the man.

Nicholas gave them both a huge smile, "Dont worry about it. I will be fine."

Vice Admiral Momonga was silent for awhile, and then said, "Do whatever you want." The old man paused, "Nicholas, Tamaki, I hope you both know how to swim." Nicholas barely heard their father say just as a horn blared loudly, announcing their arrival to the Holy Land of Mariejois.

Nicholas read the letter aloud for Captain Rogelio's sake, going over the urgent summon and Kaido's execution for the second time. After he's done reading, Nicholas folded the letter and then gave it to Tamaki. "Do whatever you want with it." the Admiral sighed. He felt tired all of a sudden, like all of his reserved energy has been zapped out of him, "Yes, a quick nap, that should fix me." Nicholas announced.

Tamaki gave him a complaining look as if saying 'But Nicholas-shosho! You just woke up!' but decided to not say anything about it. The Vice Captain just nodded and then watched as Nicholas walked back towards his sleeping quarters. But before the Rear Admiral disappear in his room, he looked back at Hajime, Drake and Rogelio, his face devoid of any emotion, "I hope you all know how to swim. The great seas are stirring." But he knew it was no use warning them, they were all Devil's Fruit users after all, and there's no way they can swim in the ocean. Resigned, the Rear Admiral retreated to his room without saying another word.

---

Nicholas was awoken by the persistent knock on his door. Judging by the calculated intervals between knocks, it was Tamaki, came to wake him up. "Come in." Nicholas croaked.

Tamaki came in, opening his door fully so that sunlight came pouring in full force into his room, blinding Nicholas momentarily. Nicholas raised his hand to his face to block off the light, "We've arrived." The Vice Captain announced. It took Nicholas a moment to understand what he had just said, he merely blinked back. "Mariejois. We've just arrived in Mariejois." Tamaki repeated impatiently.

No response. "..."

"Eh? M-Marie... jois!!?" Nicholas jumped out of bed, shuffling to his feet, he grabbed his coat draped on a chair just beside his bed, "How long have I been sleeping!?" Nicholas started to walk briskly towards deck not caring what his hair looked like, or whether if his collar's askew. Tamaki followed him out.

"18 hours." Tamaki said without much a hint of emotion, "Shouldnt you be fixing your hair?"

"I have no time for that. I need to notify the base of our-"

"No need for that." Someone said behind him. Nicholas froze, he knows that voice so well. "You're late, as always."

Nicholas turned slowly towards the source of the voice. Leaning against his quarter's wall was a tall man with a funny hair cut, like a mohawk but he grew it quite longer, and then tied it in a white cloth. "Momonga-chujo." Nicholas said, surprised to see the Vice Admiral in his own ship.

"I had Vice Captain Uruhara here called and notified your base for you." Vice Admiral Momonga said coolly, "I've seen your ship coming, and decided to come and greet you personally. Its been awhile. Welcome back, Nicholas-kun." said Nicholas' foster father.

So, whats going on in this topic? Also, would a char who can make portals or a char with near majin-buu regen levels with proper weaknesses be acceptable?

What kind of portal would he have?
