Introduction

What? Are you talking to me? Oh, um, don't worry, I'm nothing. I don't even exist. What? No. Er... okay, so maybe I do exist, it's just... you shouldn't see me. Do you really? Wow, I-I thought I was stuck here! You can really-- Oh no... no, that means you're stuck too. Did you happen to meet up with a man with deer antlers who's constantly surrounded by ravens? No? Uh... okay, forget about that, it's not important. Look, I don't know how you can see me, I don't belong to your world anymore. And, well, yeah, there's more of us but.... I don't know how you got here. Or how to get back. Or... much of anything. I just... I think I made her mad. No, no, I made my parents mad, see they used to--

Sorry. I'm rambling. Alright, I'll calm down.

Here's what I know. We're all stuck here in this world, but sometimes we get sent back, for whatever reason, just for brief intervals. It makes me uneasy, but whenever we go back to the 'real world'. most of us just sleep... We can't sleep here. Oh, we've tried, but it just... doesn't happen. Too much to think about, too much to worry about and... well, we just can't. Anyway, I think we're being tested. When we do go to the real world, it's always the same place. I mean, different rooms but I think we always go to the same building. I tried staying awake once to get to the door, try to see where we were, but it was locked. I think someone was watching, someone... observing us? I don't know. I can't tell.

When we go back to the other world, it's always filled with tests. And sometimes that raven-guy shows up. He never says anything, but I feel like I know him.... like I've seen him in the real world, which is why I asked if-- Oh, nevermind. I know you haven't. Maybe I'm just crazy. Maybe it's all a dream. I don't know.

Anyway, the tests. Right. Well, basically, we have to fight things, or get through mazes or voices from the sky tell us where to go, what to do... sometimes. Yeah, I'm probably crazy. I've just... been here a while. It's getting to me, I won't lie.

Oh, and sometimes... sometimes we wake up and there's someone missing, but they'll come back to us later and have no idea what happened. Like, one of the group will just... disappear, only to return hours later with no memory of what happened. Sometimes they seem... different afterwards. Like my friend Zaiden, who used to be a lot bolder, a lot more... I don't know. Now he's just... quiet and... and... different. I don't know how to describe it. If you knew him before, you'd definitely notice a difference. He still insists nothing changed. I don't know what's happening to us. I don't know why we're being tested. But there is one thing... everyone chosen wanted escape. Suicide-risks, writers, 'tortured artists', what have you. People who don't like reality. People who wanted out. Maybe... maybe it's our own fault. Or maybe we're dead. Don't ask me, I don't have the answers, alright? I wasn't even here first, Zaiden was but he won't tell me anything anymore and it's really frustrating.

Oh, me? Right. My name's Dwyer... it's kind of a dumb name, I know. It makes me think of 'drier', then I think of hair driers. Anyway, welcome to... um, well I'm not really sure what this place is. The only other sapient creatures here are the deer people. Like the raven guy, people with antlers and they tend to like animals. We've only talked to them a few times... sometimes they're friendly, sometimes not. I think it has to do with how we approach. Maybe there's a method to it? Maybe they get spooked easily? Again, I'm not sure. I guess we have time to find out, seeing as we're stuck here for gods-know-how-long. Oh? How long have I been here? Um... two years? Something like-

Sorry! Sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out. I'm sorry. Maybe we'll get out soon. Hey, you never know. Besides... didn't you say you wanted an adventure? We all did. I guess our wish was granted.

The World

Well, it's like Alice in Wonderland or something out here. Everything is so strange... I mean, I guess it's normal for me now after two years and all... but still, there's always something to surprise you. Something dark, usually. You should also know that most of the plants that aren't blue or green are probably poisonous. As is pretty much everything with spots on it. I ate this purple flower once and Zaiden had to make this really elaborate cure for me so I'd stop choking on my own tongue. It wasn't fun. So yeah, don't eat the purple flowers... or anything not blue or green. Please remember that.

Anyway, the world is mostly forests and rivers and lakes and oceans. The oceans are deep purple... most of the water is. Don't worry, it's fine to drink. Well, not the ocean water but you know what I mean. There's a lot of strange animals here and most of them are dangerous. Save for the ones without teeth.... though maybe they can gum poison on you or something, I don't really know... Just stay away. The ravens will mob you like gigantic crows, the wolves will gang up on you and they are huge here. Like big, evil Cerberusis (Cerberuses? Cerberis?) from hell. Oh and never go near the snakes.... basically, don't touch anything unless I say it's fine... actually I'm pretty impulsive so maybe you should ask Zaiden first... I tend to get in trouble a lot... sorry about that.

Anyway, the sky's purple, as is the water, the sun's kinda yellow/green, the moon's pale blue, some birds have four wings and everything canine is huge. Seriously huge. No keeping stray puppies, alright? Learned that one the hard way.... You don't want pets that'll try and eat you, alright? Not fun.

Basic Idea

Alright, so the idea is basically, your character is stuck in a strange world. They woke up there, probably after a fight with someone, getting close to death, attempting suicide, trying to escape, after a vivid dream, anything reality-bending. They meet up with Dwyer and the rest of the group, where he informs them of what he knows... which isn't much. Sometimes they might wake up in the 'real' world, in a strange dark room with what seems like people all around them, examining them, sometimes touching them or simply observing, writing things down, etc. And every now and then, they might see remnants of the 'real' world in the other world, like a person who doesn't see them, or a building that shouldn't be there, though they can't actually touch these things, they'd pass right through, and they usually disappear when they get too close anyway. In the other world, they seem to be going through tests and trials. As in, they might receive clues in the form of voices speaking to them from the sky like gods, telling them to go somewhere or build something or fight something, punishing them with sickness or lightening storms or whatever if they don't.

Occasionally, someone from the group might go missing (if you want this to happen to your character, ask me and I'll tell you what'll happen to them), coming back... different. Sometimes exhausted or bruised, battered, even missing a finger or a chunk of skin or something. Other times they might seem fine on the outside but are internally different, as in their minds have been warped somehow.

There's also the man with the ravens and we'll get to him later. Basically, he just watches for now.

The deer people are also more like a tribe, they are usually timid, but seemingly intelligent with their own language, though the group should't know how to communicate with them yet.

Another thing, they can't sleep in this world. They don't usually get tired enough to need it, but being physically or mentally exhausted can take a toll and thus, whenever they wake up in the real world, they feel an overwhelming need to sleep.

Alright, that's enough for now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask... I know it can be a little confusing. If you're interested, let me know!

Oh, and this world is also very strange, think 'through the rabbit hole' strange, though much darker with quite a lot of sinister little creatures, as well as people getting dark ideas, wondering if they could be killed/kill in this world, as no one's died yet, only been injured. Feel free to play with how your characters take this situation.

Plot

Basically not much has happened yet beyond what happened with Dwyer and Zaiden. My plan is to discuss this OOC. My idea is that we will start with our first challenge, perhaps we have to find something, or fight something? I'll let you all decide what you'd like to do first and if you have ideas, feel free to shoot them at me.

Great. I'll complete the CS soon. Description only or are pictures allowed? If so, real humans or anime?

Based on past experience in Solekii's RPs you can probably do either of the 3.

I see.

Yeah, anything's fine. I prefer descriptions, but sometimes appearance is easier to show. Whatever you like is fine so long as it gives an idea.

Name: Ashe (Pronounced Ash)

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Asexual, but panoromantic (Has purely romantic relationships and would be okay with having them with anyone irregardless of gender, is asexual and actually has a fear of sexual interaction)

Hair Color: Black at the roots, with a gradient to silver in the middle, with blue-purple tips)

Eye Color: Icy blue with grey flecks

General Appearance: Her hair is approximately jaw-length and almost always somehow manages to appear disheveled. Her brows are a little thick without being bushy and match her roots (black); her cheekbones are high and her jaw is sharp. Her face is heart-shaped, and her hair is parted to the left, if it's tidy enough to even have a part. Most of the time it's just all over the place. She has a light dusting of freckles across her nose and she has a pair of black-rimmed glasses that are roughly rectangle-turned-oval in shape. The frames of her glasses are a bit thick. She's got a gap between her front teeth, although it's small; her clothing is usually a little ripped up and her knees are almost always skinned as she's a little clumsy. She's often got light scratches and bruises.

Personality: She's a little clumsy in speech as well as actions, but while she blunders along, she honestly means well, and hardly ever lies. She can't do things as well as she'd like to-- she's not very fit, and has a little more weight than she needs. She's not chubby in the face, but her tummy is a little big, and people would probably laugh at her for it. She runs pretty fast and can walk for ages, but despite the exercise, she doesn't usually lose much weight because she eats a lot, and is addicted to /tasting/ food. She looks a bit awkward, and is a bit awkward, just like she's a little clumsy. She doesn't seem to be aware of the finer nuances of social interactions, and it shows, because she often gets distracted and talks to trees or animals if left alone, rather than people. Incidentally, she's great with languages, and she often learns more of them whenever she can, and she loves reading things in other languages and trying to come up with and decipher code languages. She's a bit of a bookworm.

History: Ashe Mason was raised in the country, and was an only child. She played by herself in the trees and bushes a lot, and due to her being alone all the time, it meant she had poor social skills, as she was also home-schooled until the age of fifteen. When she was in high school she tried to date a nice guy, but he ended up forcing her to engage in... intimate... scenarios far before she was ready to. She quickly gained a fear of sex, but she still wanted companionship. She dated a lot of people in short-term relationships, which usually ended fast because she wasn't up for trying anything past kissing and holding people. Eventually she got into light drug use, and started writing her own books and comics, which weren't actually that good and never got any good feedback. Soon, she ended up retreating into her little library of a bedroom, and then one day, as she wanted to disappear the most, she... did.

Are you already in the group, or will you meet up with them?

She's going to meet the group. She's been in the world for a little while, maybe a week or two, but she hasn't found them. Now she will.

I'll draw her whenever I get the chance. :)

Hola! And indeed, I do plan on restarting another RP, but I'm going to get this one going first.

Oh and for the record, I accept posts in either first or third person. I know most are more comfortable with third, but I might choose first, if I'm not the only one.

Solekii said
There's also the man with the ravens and we'll get to him later.

He sounds like he is Odin. Is he Odin? And are those ravens actually Huginn and Muninn? So the place where the characters landed is actually Midgard.. I knew it!

No, he has a swarm of ravens, as if they were crows. In fact, I didn't even think of that.

I'm interested ^u^ leave me a spot just in case.

WINDY, DO YOU REMEMBER ME!? ITS CHELUBAI 8D

ACCEPTED!!! ME!!! ~BOINGS!!!!~

Urshums. Thanks^^ Soooo.... since Aimee has been with the group... are we buds? Or are we all broken in the bunny brains like?

I am still thinking about the history, but I got everything else done. I can't wait to play him if I get accepted, his character development is gonna be killer, especially if one of the other characters can work with his melancholy :3

You can choose what her relationship to the group is, how she thinks of them, etc. Dwyer's automatically everyone's friend, whether they like it or not xP, and Zaiden's just.... well, he's Zaiden. You can figure out her opinions of them once we get going.

Sounds good. And don't worry, if you want, you can simply reveal the history IC, so long as you have an idea.
