In a universe comprising copies of copies, you are the original version of yourself.


Years ago, a great calamity fell from the heavens and the world of Libra was stricken with a terrible malady that turned both man and beast into monsters. They named it the Divine Disease and its heralds the Mordrem. In order to prevent total annihilation, humanity built a massive terraformed space habitat named Elysium to which they escaped and left the world below.

The Mordrem thrive on the consumption of spirits, which are an important part of Libra’s ecosystem. Because of this, the spirits within all things of natureβ€”mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, thunder and windβ€”abandoned their natural embodiments and sought refuge in beings of prominence in order to protect themselves from the Mordrem. The people who were chosen by spirits became known as Guardians. They can exert the natural power of spirits as magic, and therefore a valuable asset in the war against the Great Threat.

Humanity’s primary concern is to retake the world that they have lost. In this great endeavor they formed the United Defense Force, which is an independent military coalition with its base of operations and training on Elysium. All men and women are encouraged to join this Great War Machine and do their part. However, the corrupt politics of Elysium has brainwashed its aristocratical society to focus on the Golden Future, an imaginary utopia beyond the stars. While the rich and powerful live safely on Elysiumβ€”basking in luxuries of android servants, advanced medical technology, and healthy nourishmentβ€”the impoverished suffer on the surface of Libra, which is overpopulated, polluted, stagnant, and constantly ravaged by natural disasters and the Mordrem.

You are a Guardian, who recently graduated from a military academy on Elysium and is ready to join the United Defense Force. The squad to which you have been assigned consists of your friends that you went to school with. On your first mission together, which is to secure valuable assets in a city under siege, you accidentally discover highly classified information about the Golden Future. This sparks a chain of events that will lead to the realization that you have a much greater purpose in the cosmos than you could possibly imagine.

Information

1.// This is a Final Fantasy-esque, epic journey story with a lot of conflict and dilemmas. The characters in such medium are usually vivid and exaggerated. There is also a notion of low life, high technology accompanied by melee and ranged weaponry, magic, Mechs and drones, and teleportation devices. Magic takes the form of various elements.

2.// I use a simple system for combat. It does not involve dice or chance. Everything your character does counts towards a number, a meter of sorts. When the number has been met, the enemy can be defeated. I also use a lot of reference images and music for my roleplays. Further, I also make use of different β€˜timelines’ should they be needed.

3.// The only thing that I ask of you is that you match your writing standards to mine, or present something superior. I would also like to know if you have to leave the roleplay before it is finished. I do not hold grudges and I do not get mad about such things, so there is no reason to simply disappear. I also believe that everyone deserves a second chance.

4.// A lot of the information that will be presented in a possible out of character thread should be credited to two dear friends of mine, who helped me tremendously. They know who they are, and I love them no matter what happens in this life or the next. I have dragged them through the mud with my perfectionism and impulsiveness, thus I hope that they will forgive me someday.

5.// I am looking for six or so timeless individuals, who want to create good memories through this story.

Thanks for the interest. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

@Bunnita Yes, the characters know each other and have been friends for a while.

Guardians are very powerful, but there is no 'leveling' if that is what you mean. You will be able to 'absorb' new spirits/magic throughout the story, that is about it for progression.

The meter is nothing like 'hit points', and you never have to think about it or count anything β€” the less you know and care about it, the better.

You do not have to know anything about Final Fantasy, because this is not Final Fantasy. It is certainly inspired by, but no more than that.

This is the first installment of the roleplay, but note that it is almost a year old, and my writing may have changed/developed since then. If you ever feel that my standards are not to your liking, then I am always open for discussion.

Interested, but I won't be able to commit to more than four or five posts a week (heavy load of college coursework this semester). If that's fine, then I'd love to join. (:

Thanks for the interest.

@bluejay_gl, four or five posts a week is extreme. One or two posts a fortnight is more realistic, so I am sure that you will be able to keep up.

@Bunnita is on the right track of thinking about characters already. You are going to have to write your characters' thoughts about all other characters, since they know each other and are 'friends'. Internal disputes are encouraged, but they should not be severe enough to warrant someone to leave this little circle.

Your characters will have a signature weapon, so you can give that some thought as well.

Magic in this roleplay is inspired by Magic: The Gathering, so you can read up on that a little bit unless you are already familiar with it.

@Prisk Oh, in that case, yes! Sorry, I've done smaller roleplays that updated very often in the past, so that's what I was thinking about when I typed that, haha. I'll start brainstorming of a character right away! (:

Consider me interested. The only Final Fantasy game I've played is Type 0, so forgive me if some of the conventions are lost on me.

Inquiry time! Firstly, considering we're operating under the assumption our characters are already acquainted, are you encouraging us to collaborate while creating them?

Secondly, are there any restrictions you want to impose in terms of character design or capabilities? (Preferences, maybe? Like, is there anything in particular you'd like to see? Anything you'd rather we avoid?)

Thanks for all the interest.

@bluejay_gl No worries, dear.

@Sand Let us hope that it does.

@clericbeast You do not need any knowledge of Final Fantasy, at all, so do not worry about that.

1. Yes. We are all going to collaborate at one point during the character creation process either way, when we describe our characters' relations to one another, but if you want to do that with someone before all that, then that is perfectly fine.

2. In the out-of-character thread, and specifically in the character creation section, I will provide a few links to tvtropes.org that discusses character types and usual occurrences in 'team groups' like this. They are by no means mandatory, but they will serve as guidelines and sources of inspiration for you when you create your characters.

@Free Faller Nothing is settled until I have approved six people for the cast by considering their character sheets. So, your interest is not in vain. Please do follow the progress here, and then submit a character.

Hiii~~!!!

Kk. Sooooo like here's what the bunny is thinking as a charrie 'type'^^ I'd like to be the 'annoying little sister' type. Like, she'd be happy and chatty and fun, but always feels the need to prove her worth. Like she has issues with feeling like the annoying little sister and so she gets all mouthy like and that just makes her put herself in a position where she bites off more than she can chew. Like I'm sure shes grown out of that for the most part since grad, but still has signs of it happening. She also has a bit of a temper when she's treated like the 'awwww... that's just our kid sister.'

I'm thinking she'd be recon/scout type. Long range, but in hand to hand, that's where like she feels the need to prove herself. Stronger in spirit powers than in physical prowess too? Kk, but that's just what I gots in minds so far?

Lemme know! Yayuh~~<3!!
