Plot:
The Vygorns have been there from the start. Ever since they saw the potential in the human race, they've been there, controlling everyone. Their only goal is simple. Total destruction of nature. They started their plan immediately by manipulating people. The destruction of nature began. Only slowly at first, with axes, shovels and pickaxes. But later at a much more worrying rate.
Now...
Cities are just huge human dwellings where everyone is squashed together, living in the shadows of the rich who have everything and dont step out of their homes. Outside the cities, the land is a huge sea of trash. The planet is dotted with huve mining facilities and water pumps. Nothing is left, or so it seems....
In a place below the heaps of trash, there is a cave lit by huge glowing mushrooms, infinitely-burning fires, crystal clear streams... Nature's Haven. From the place Nature collected the last drops of its strength, only leaving enough to survive, and infused people with one of its base powers. That day, the Elementals were born!!
How you use your powers is up to you. Just be reasonable with your abilities and don't overexaggerate. No meteor rains or hurricanes or anything big.
- Earth - Controlling ground and rocks, including sand and kinds of stones. (Concrete counts)
- Flora - Power to grow plants, various abilities including usage of seeds and vines. Can grow plants from nothing basically. Not as weak as it seems. Healing properties as well.
- Metal - Controls metals, pretty straight forward. Won't run short on it in the city.
- Fire - Also straight forward. Can generate fires.
- Water - Can create and control water. Can also be used for healing
- Ice - Creates Ice and cold. Created ice can be any shape.
- Air - Air Elementals can technically fly as well but it is quite tiresome for them.
- Electricity - Can shoot lighting and shock. Is NOT superfast.
- Light - Uses the power of pure light energy. Has healing capabilities
- Darkness - Uses shadows. Has natural stealth abilities
I reccommend you to check out the Questions-You-Should-Know-The-Answers-To section right below. Yes, right there!
What can Elementals do? Can my character transform into thin air and go through the air-conditioning vents and kill everyone?
- Err... no. Elementals are an interesting species of Homo Sapiens Sapiens born with special abilities that allows them to control, their element and summon Guardians.
Furthermore, fire elementals are immune to fire, water elementals cant drown, lighting elementals cant be shocked by electricity and so on. But they cannot transform into their element. They are human after all, just special. No, not your kind of special...
I'd like my Elemental to be an eighth Water, a quarter light, half fire and an eighth Metal, is it possible? Oh an Darkness too!
- Absolutely not! A character can have control only over ONE element only!
Can I create a super-cataclysmic-super-mega-ray-of-death-and-destruction-and-butter-oops-i-wrote-"super"-twice?
- That would be just way too easy. As en elemental, you require energy to use your powers, during the RP you will become more powerful and learn new things as you develop your fighting style. You will never be able to create tsunamis, or earthquakes 100 kilometres in radius or meteorite showers, or not even a super-cataclysmic-thingie-thingie-too-long-to-rewrite.
Who are the Vygorns? How do they control people?
- Good question, Vygorns are also a sort of Elementals. They use and serve the Void, which is basically the lack of matter and energy. They appear as human though, to deceive them.
There is a total chain of leadership in human society which always ends at the lead Vygorn. A bank accountant lets say, or a soldier, do what their boss tells them to do, who then listens to his boss and so forth and so forth.... until on man's superior happens to be a Vygorn, but the man thinks his superior is just another man. That Vygorn then does what is being told to by a higher ranked Vygorn. At the end of the hierarchy sits the lead Vygorn, Vrayl!!! Or was there someone else after that?
In any case, humans are manipulated by Vygorns so if you are an Elemental who the Vygorns want to get rid of, get ready to escape from snipers, tanks, helicopters and commandos as well. Just saying.
My character is very ba-dass. He can surely take out like 100 Vygorns by himself at once right?
- I don't think that would be possible unless you knock 100 Vygorns unconscious and stuff them in a room full of flowers and unicorns. Flowers and unicorns will seriously wreck them. Have you ever seen an angry unicorn or flower? No? Well good for you because you'd be dead.
More seriously: Vygorns are extremely good and flexible at using powers to destroy what stand in their way. For example, on earth, pollution was an element that proved most useful against Nature, so some Vygorns were bred to be able to control it. The same way, they managed to be able to change into humans to better manipulate them.
Even if your character did manage to kill 100 vygorns, there are way more than that... also, Humans fight for the Vygorns. Numbers are your biggest disadvantage in this RP.
Can I say/ask something? Hey listen to my suggestion!
- Well of course! Post all your ideas and suggestions concerning the RP and characters and plot and Vygorns and your mother and sister and Shrek and.... wait, was that supposed to be a secret?
- Void Blade - Vygorns use kinds of blades but also guns. Their Void blades cause damage by basically deleting the matter it touches. They do so by sucking out the energy out of the matter which then ceases to exist. It is not exaggerated however, in the sense that if you drop the blade, it won't just cut through the ground until it reaches the centre of the earth, a Void user is needed to use the Void Blade. Stronger materials require more energy to be sucked out from it which the user might not be able to handle, leading to self-destruction. Enchanted items have a lot of energy within them, in addition, Elementals can channel more of their energy into their items. If a Vygorn tries to cut through an enchanted item with a Void Blade, they will fail, but they will suck out some energy while the Blade and the enchanted item are in contact.
If a Void Blade can cut through flesh very, very easily. No matter if its the flesh of an Elemental or not
- Life Leeching - Vygorns can slowly suck energy out of living beings. Mind you, energy sucked out from objects or creatures does NOT go to the Vygorn, making him stronger, but simply disappears. The rate at which a Vygorn can dissipate energy into the Void is basically how powerful the Vygorn is.
- Black Holes - The Elite of the Vygorns can create small black holes which passively destroy energy around them. Walking into one of them will not result in anything pleasant. Each Black Hole, just as each Vygorn, has a rate at which it destroys energy. If a lot of energy is thrown into it, it won't be able to decompose it and will simply close. if this Black Holes can never be created inside of things, e.g through a wall into a room, in a person's brains etc... In a battle, Black holes aren't very useful since they are immobile and don't have enough power to actually suck things into them. On a large scale, especially when many are combined, they can be quite destructive and very big
- Pollution Control (Idea of Hesoca) - Vygorns are capable of bending the pollution and grime around them as though it were an element. This can come in a variety of forms, from dousing a battlefield with acid rain to flooding the streets with a wave of oozing sludge. Naturally, they cannot make the pollution they want to control (that's the humans job, after all), but can amass and stockpile these destructive materials for later use.
- Garbage Animation (Idea of Hesoca) - Some Vygorns have the ability, like Elementals, to summon beings to fight for them. Vygorn's beings are golem-like creatures made from trash, waste and so on. These beings take many shapes and sizes but are all purely phisical fighters meaning they, unlike Elemental pets, can't use any elemental powers.
I wont tell you the start of the actual story yet as I want it to be a surprise.
This contains some info on character role. Character development and interactions are a focus in this RP, aswell as action packed fights and escapes
As for characters:
Name:
Age:
Element:
Appearance:
Personaliy:
History (specify if you will reveal more in the RP):
Feel for element:
Enchanted items (Elemental artifacts which share the character's elements): (will be aquired during the start of the RP, max of 3)
Guardian (a creature that helps you on your adventure): (Guardian must share owner's element)
Name: Ray
Age: 16
Element: Fire
Appearance: Black hair, dark eyes. Just below average height. A bit athletic-looking. (Elaborate more if you don't suck as much as me at describing people)
Personality: Ray is very secretive about himself and hides his feelings very well. He has a general mistrust in people, but will never turn his back on someone in need. (Again, you can write more if you can)
History: Not much is known about him except that he is a fugitive and the authorities are looking for him. (More in RP)
Feel for element: Fire fits him like a glove, he feels its always been there. His powers are strongly bonded with his emotions.
Enchanted Items: A shield named Resilience and a bastard sword named Judgement.
Guardian: A Lion whose mane, fangs and claws set on fire while in a fight.
My character is pretty stereotipic (fire elemental with strong emotions and a lion guardian) but your imagination can sore high and have a calm fire elemental or a defensive air elemental. Whatever!
Things needed
- We're pretty much ready
YAY!
Discussion on improving the RP is open and encouraged!I would also like to point out that I read
every single post and not one idea is left unconsidered. I just don't want to reveal much about the actual RP so I usually don't answer.
