    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.



    Magic
    In his time researching magic Grav greatly refined it. He devided it into 8 physical types of magic and 4 nonphysical types of magic. Each person only have one type of magic.

    Nature magic

    Stone magic

    Fire magic

    Cold magic

    Water magic

    Creature magic

    Wind magic

    Lightning magic


    Sound magic

    Light magic

    Gravity magic

    Void magic (one of the earlier, rawer form of magic. Allows you to remove something for a short amount of time. Rare)



    Character sheet

    Character’s name: (many people forgot their real name when they were brainwashed and chose a new name instead.)
    Age:

    Sex:

    Character type:

    Magic type:

    Weapons and starting gear:

    Weakness:

    History and personality:

    Rules (I said some of this before, but I’m saying it again here.)

    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.)

    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.

    One to two characters per person. If you are to make a second character you should provide a reason to why you want a second character.

    General RP rules apply

    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...

      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?

          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.

            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?

              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?

                  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.

                        No matter what character I create, he is always a bookworm and loner , is the character type ok? if not I will just edit. And is this going to be in the third or first person?( first person pls, more fun)

                        Character’s name: Li Wen Xuan, 李文轩, goes by Wen Xuan.

                        Age:16

                        Sex: Male

                        Character type: ex-SYSTEM member

                        Magic type: creature magic, mainly uses it to talk to creatures, the creatures can't exactly "talk" back but he can understand them,he doesn't like controlling them or any form of taking away their will

                        Weapons and starting gear: books and a spare change of clothes, an old model of a recurve bow made of titanium with a set of two dozen carbon arrows. This is usually carried disassembled in a big pack (25cm wide, 1m long, 30 cm thick: http://www.demkarcheryshop.com/402-5...701-td-bag.jpg ) along with some other archery equipment. He decided to avoid using the new technology due to the accident that killed his parents.

                        A falcon called "Madge" that is a friend. He met it when he was 12 and they became friends due to the falcon liking that there was someone that could understand it (there were not many other falcons), though the falcon often stays near him, it actually fends for herself as he is unable to take care of it due to knowing that he would be told to get rid of her if anyone else in SYSTEM found out. So she was kept a secret.

                        Weakness: socially awkward, weak in strength, lacking in experience.

                        History and personality:
                        Before the Origin was activated, he was an orphan in China until he was adopted by a member of SYSTEM at the age of 4, thus he is able to speak Chinese and English (or whatever language Ryglaga uses), when he was age 6, the Origin was activated and although his memories were still there, due to the age, he cannot remember much from the original world. His adoptive parents were scientists working for the SYSTEM and were killed in an accident related to testing a prototype bomb.

                        He was looked after by the school in SYSTEM that catered to the small number of children there. But he remained alone and spent a lot of time himself reading outside in a secluded area with Madge. He took up archery as a sport at age 10 and due to long term exposure, he is able to shoot quite accurately, although he is able to use his bow well, his muscles are developed differently and thus he is weak in most other physical exertions. The fact that he has anemia does not help.

                        At the age of 17, he was expected to join into SYSTEM and actively help with developing new technology like his parents due to his low skill in terms of outside things and also due to his higher than average IQ and interest in a wide variety of science fields and thus he read up on a bit of a lot of them, a jack of all trades. But he disliked hi-tech due to the accident with his parents and thus one day he ran. He snuck out of the [insert compound/city etc name here where SYSTEM is based] with Madge and his bag containing his bow and a few books he brought along. Now he is escaping towards the east, hoping to either reach somewhere safe or out of Ryglaga, he hoped that due to his age and thus lack of memories, the SYSTEM spies would not bother looking for him, but there was always the risk.

                        He is naive about the happenings in Ryglaga due to being stuck in SYSTEM and also keeping to himself. He prefers being alone not in the literal sense that he is the only one there, but he prefers if others leave him alone and not disturb him much. He is a vegetarian due to his ability to understand animals.

                        Appearance: Thin but wiry, black untidy hair, chinese. Wears long sleeve shirts and pants regardless of the weather.( I am terrible at descriptions, hopefully this suffices)

                        Morality: True neutral. Does things for self-benefit, but prefers to avoid causing destruction/damage

                          I love the character. All good.
                          As for you question about 3rd person or first person, I was thinking 3rd person due to that it can help the other people reading your post understand it.

                          Lastly a little tips. Creature magic encompasses anything living really, that includes humans. (you can alter your shape and such.)

                            Hey Katrix, quick question.

                            Since it is fantasy-based world... Can your character be a non-human?

                              Hm, well I suppose Grav wanted a fantasy world very much like the one in the books and games so I guess a few humans were turned into other races too.
                              If you do choose another race then you can add one of the things they actually remember. They were not that race to begin with.
