Fight against fantasy - OOC

This is an effort to make a somewhat in between Aeterna and ATWAG. It won’t be as serious as Aeterna, and it won‘t be as chaotic as ATWAG.
I do will be keeping some key aspects that made Aeterna into a wonderful RP in my opinion.

1. No machine gun posting. I would like to come back in the morning without having to read 4 pages worth of posts.
Something like half an hour between each post in a party is a good minimum if you do not have a good reason (only on for 5 minutes, busy, etc.)

2. No one line posts. If you are to post something make it contribute to the story. Although I understand it can be hard running a conversation, at least try giving it some length.

Getting that out of the way here is the story:

2062: A little boy by the name of Grav is born. He turns out to be a boy full of imagination.
He loves everything about fantasy. He reads many books and plays many games in that genre.

2075: Grav begins to realize that the world he loves does not really exist. This bothers him.
Because of this, he sets out on the path of becoming a scientist with the goal of reproducing the world he loves.

2094: Grav discovers a mystical force that he can make do whatever he wants. He names this force magic.
It requires a source however that can channel it. This can’t be found outside of the laboratory at the moment.

2095-2115: Grav continue using magic in his laboratory to do all sorts of things. From creating mythical creatures to refining his magic.

2116-2128: Grav works on a device that will enable magic to be used outside of the laboratory without anything big channeling it.

2131: Grav finalizes his device. He calls it The Origin

2135: Grav finds a small group by the name of SYSTEM that is willing to let him use The Origin and provide him with shelter.

2136: Grav activates The Origin. It turns the earth into a fantasy world situated in the middle age.
Everyone not a member of SYSTEM forgets all about what the once knew about the modern age. Their memories are replaced with fake memories of a life in this world.

The only one spared is the ones that are member of SYSTEM and their families.
With their superior knowledge of technology, they build hi-tech weapons and take over the country named Ryglaga.

2139: SYSTEM now have complete control over Ryglaga and have begun war against the other countries around it.
As SYSTEM supply them with hi-tech weapons most people that can’t use magic don’t stand a chance.

2146: It have been 10 years since the world become a world of fantasy. However, because of what seems like a bug some people are beginning to remember what it was like before fantasy became reality.
Only tiny memories, but they are enough to make these people rise up and fight against SYSTEM.

You are in the position of remembering that this is not how things are supposed to be. SYSTEM have sent out spies looking for people that remember.
Now is the time to choose, will you just let the world go on as it is, will you fight against the world or will you protect it?



Character types

SYSTEM spy: You’re a part of SYSTEM that work to get rid of the people regaining their memories. In addition to being a spy, you also have a high rank within SYSTEM. You have most of your original memories intact. Due to your high amount of real memories, it seems like your magic is more powerful than that of those around you.

Remembering person: You are a person that have begun to remember what life was like before The Origin was activated. You don’t remember much of your personal life, only that society and life was not like this once. Due to your memories it looks like your magic is more powerful that those around you.

Normal citizen: You’re a normal citizen minding your own business. You don’t remember anything before this. For you this have been your life the entire time. You still have magic, but not as powerful as those who remembers.

I-a like it! It's a great story! But can you... give me the basic rundown? You know, a shortened version of the story for idiots like me.

Either way, I said I won't introduce Otori or HM anymore... but I never said nothin bout no Frank -w-.


Name: Frank Gordon

Age: 21 (barely legal to own a casino, or as they would be called in medieval times, a... actually, I don't know how they gambled back then)

Sex: Male

Character Type: Remembering, though he doesn't really care to search the truth just yet.

Magic Type: Ice Magic (if you're doing the offense and defensive thing, it's balanced)

Weapons and Starting Gear: None in particular. He uses a katana to channel his magic.

Weakness: Being around fire users (he describes it as being around that one annoying person in school) and doing work. Unless it's his job dealing cards, he would become easily annoyed when doing work.

History and Personality: He was fathered by a fire user, and because he lost his memory, he is led to believe that he was fathered by him for many years. His father was always using fire for everything, which always made Frank very uncomfortable around other fire users. Throughout the years, he has learned to sense fire users due to living with one for many years.

After he turned 21, he began working at [the equivalent of a medieval casino]. During his time there, he began remembering little bits of his memory, and is constantly in mental pain because of it, but he decided to just ignore the memories as if they were hallucinations. After a month, he learned to live with the pain, thus making him more resistant to pain (as in he could take a bullet as if they were paintball shots. But then again, those hurt as well)

He is a cool guy, always keeping his temper to a low. He respects his friends. Even in the most insane situations, he will keep a level-headed attitude.

Appearance: Black, organized hair, usually combed down. He wears glasses, is a fair size (5'11"), slightly muscular, and is never angry, though is threatened he will throw insults back, but he won't get angry. Has a blank face most of the time.

Morality: Lawful Neutral


Next thing ya know, everyone's gonna choose void magic...

@Wonder

Well, I've always been one to pick the wacky kinds of magic, the ones that stretch the imagination.



@Katrix

What is Void magic capable of?

Can you go into more detail?

Can you create portals?

I just realized what morality was (dumbass) so I edited.

@Wonder
Basic rundown: Person named Grav is annoyed that fantasy elements are not real. He devotes his life to make the world into a fantasy world.
He allies himself with a small group named SYSTEM and with the help from them turn the world into a fantasy world. Only members of SYSTEM is spared.
SYSTEM takes over the country. 10 years later some people begin to remember and SYSTEM sends out spies to find them.

As for offensive and defensive magic. No I'm not doing it. I found countless cases where you could argue if it is defensive of offensive. Creating vacuum is one example.
Vacuum can be used to kill someone, but it can also be used to protect yourself from something. Should aggressive mages only be allowed to do it one place and defensive another place?
That's just dumb.

As for everyone using void magic, if I see to many users I'll ask people to change it.

@S121

Void magic is pretty much capable of removing everything. From light to temperature to space. Portals would require you to create a link between the two places.
Void magic is only capable of removing stuff. Only for a limited amount of time tough.

@Katrix

So does that mean that Void magic can rip holes in space and replace them with voids?

It's not as impressive as it sounds, I'm basically saying that they create a literal void in a particular area.

They could then enter the void and open another one in another area, allowing them to use portals.

Would that work?


Or is it that they are only able to create vacuums?

@S121

Nope, can't think of that working as you still need a link between the portals, you would have to create those somehow.
Think of it as universal magic, but you can't alter or create stuff, only remove.

So in other words, it's like creating a vacuum-less black hole. I think I get it. So when are you posting the opening post?

@Wonder

It doesn't need to be a black hole. As long as you are removing something it can do it. As for the opening post, when I have a few more people confirmed to join.

Alright. But in any case, has mine been approved?
