“With everything that has happened to you up to this moment, with everything that you have experienced... can you give me an honest answer and say that you love or hate the world that you live in? And if you could have the option to escape it in an instant... would you wish for the opportunity to go back to it or live in the fantasy that was given to you?”

As the voice echoes into your head, cradling you as you fall into a deep slumber, you soon find yourself opening your eyes and waking up in a land unlike anything you have seen before... and you realize, that you are definitely no longer in your room.



"These are the first words that must be answered if you are to take your first steps into this adventure that I ask of you. If you love it, truly, truly love the world that you come from then you must take a step back and figure out why is it that you cannot hate it despite all that there is wrong with your world. I have seen your people fight, rape, and kill one another... I have seen the racism and the hatred... I have seen the violent outbursts and constant rage that comes from your kind... but if for some reason you can still love it and choose to go back, then I will give you that option once you have done me a favor of great importance. However as a being of contradiction and balance I must also ask of thee something else; if you hate it, why can’t you love it? If, despite all the opportunities given to you since the moment of your birth and the chances you have had to change, why is it that you can still find a reason to hate? Why is it that you can not forgive those around you and simply love them? What is it that you hate so much with the world?"

"I ask these things because it is my duty to and because whatever it is you feel towards your planet... yourself... and however it is you may act from hence forth it will shape you into the person you will need to be as you adventure into this world… MY world. Do be warned, however, that your feelings and your emotions can make a vast difference here in my world whether you want it to or not."

"For example, your anger and your rage can turn you into something you despise but what you crave... while your calm and love can bring you something else. These are but simple examples after all, nothing more and nothing less. Whether you listen or heed these examples or warnings are up to you."

"Now, you may be wondering, why exactly is it you are here? That is something I can explain with ease. Who I am can be explained another time, but here… in the land of Kite where dreams and fantasies come true by a simple whisk of one's hand, my people are in grave danger. I have allowed many from your world to enter mine in order to save not only this world, but yours as well because something has broken free. If it is not stopped, then both of our worlds will be destroyed."

The voice in your head finishes speaking for a bit, only to cough as if clearing its throat, although, it seems rather pointless why a voice in your head would be clearing its throat.

"Adjust yourself to this world and meet up with the others in the village nearby and do please stay on the roads as to avoid dangers living nearby. While it is true that you are my responsibility since I have brought you here without much of a single warning, I do not wish want to be responsible for your deaths so soon without having the chance to meet you all."

...and just like that, you're left to your fates in the mystical land of Kite.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Kite, The Realm Within One's Heart


Welcome to the mythical land of Kite, a land ruled by a plethora of different races that you will undoubtedly come across as you explore this land in your adventures!

In this RP, you will be playing as a person from the human world (our world) who has been transported to the world of Kite via a special means that will be mentioned in-game by a very powerful individual who has requested our help. Your character's powers will be through your character's own personality and how they view and have acted in their world own world:

Now, what this means is that YOU yourself are entitled of creating your own character, but it also means that they wont be very strong entering the world of Kite. They will be strong and be able to perform some pretty cool things based upon their mentality and what not. If someone was a thief their life, they may be adept to shadows, if someone was athletic they may be a good runner, if someone was an artist they may be able to summon things, etc... but those are only what they were able to do based on their real life skills. Now, there will also be people who could do those same things but at a lesser level if they have desired that power. Say that someone wanted to be stronger to protect someone else, but didn't have the strength to... well, in Kite, it makes dreams and fantasies real, and would grant that person more strength!

This is the gift that Kite grants; the power of 'belief' and 'bringing things into reality'. What you couldn't do before you can do here in Kite, but it is of course limited, and each playable character starts off with a central theme, however, once the RP gets started you will be free to adapt and branch out from this central theme and expand your powers freely. (Say you start off being a master swordsman, and you later want to dwell into magic, you will be more than happy to; the same could be said for a creature summoner or someone with a bow and arrow etc.)

Like a said, the only limitations are the ones that you give for yourself in this RP, however there will of course be limits starting fof for simplicity sake.

Anyway, there will also be be things that will be touched upon in this setting that may be disturbing to others, despite it being a high fantasy setting. I also know how some players can get in such settings and I would like people who are prepared for this kind of stuff and know what they are getting into.

Basically folks, in this RP I'm going to be making sure that people actually feel some emotion towards their characters and have them put through some stuff with actual character development instead of being a blunt character. This means that there wont be anything such as plot armor or dodge for days kind of stuff, everyone here will be on the same playing field.

This is an RP that I will invest my time into heavily, and you can expect me to be focusing on this one a lot. This doesn't mean I wont abandon my other RPs, just giving a heads up that I'm going to be extremely aware of this one and GM-savy!

Another thing before introducing the sign-ups is that any diseases, illnesses, or disabilities that your characters had before entering Kite are automatically gone upon entering it. So, for example if you had a missing limb, cancer, diabetes, HIV, a tumor, or were stuck to a wheel chair, well, you would find the limb suddenly regrowing and your disease halted along with your strength coming back to you suddenly. While it would be a shocking, and probably traumatizing experience to your character initially, it might also be yet another reason why your character may want to stay in Kite; disabilities they once had would become no more, but once they leave the world of Kite they would have them once again. Just a heads up in case you want to make an interesting character is all

Anyway, here are the Sign-Ups for those who are interested!

  • Name: What is it that we should call you?
  • Age: So, how old are ya?
  • Sex: Male, or female?
  • Appearance: Might as well show or tell us what you look like. To be truthful, I'd like to see what you can do by describing yourself, but a picture is fine too!
  • Personality: Tell me, just what kind of person are you?
  • Background: I'd like to know a little bit more about yourself and know just why kind of life you used to live... we are going to have to get along after all.
  • Powers: The powers you were gifted upon being brought into Kite. These will be your bread and butter for now, and they will be your means of survival. I’m curious as to what you can do! Now tell me, what is it that you can do? Manipulation over magic? Can you summon things? Talk to and control animals? Bend your bones and contort your body? Are you capable of flight? Tell me. The possibilities are only limited only by your imagination... but remember, you are but a newborn chick compared to the masters who have been living decades upon decades here. Compared to them your powers are but basic gifts... so don't get too carried way or overconfident, okay?
  • Personal Motive: This is where I want to learn what makes you, well, tick. What exactly is it that you are working so hard towards? Is it actually to go back home, or perhaps you are actually wanting to stay here in the land of Kite? Perhaps you have no intention of going home? Perhaps you intend to make a name for yourself in this mystical land, make a family, or even conquer it for yourself? What do you want to do human?
  • Mementos: Now for the most important thing of all... your most prized possession. What small things were brought with you as mementos from the world from whence you came? Everyone is limited to two small things at the most, and these things are usually worth nothing to the people of Kite and others; the kicker is that they are important to you and you alone. How are they important to you or why you keep them close? Well, I’ll leave that entirely up to you.


With that, I'll leave you all to create your characters... and welcome, to the mystical World of Kite.

(Copy and pasted... Don't judge me, okay. I really didn't feel like rewriting all of this. ;-;)

@Treepuncher121
Hm... Can I just voice my concern with that power for a bit? I get how it works in theory, but I'll get pretty meta here and say "What if you were stopped by the bad guy's guards." Instead of actually using his wit, Chad could simply put on a smile, says he's an ally and they'd let him through. Or get free meals.

Short story: He's be way too influential for no trade off. Next concern: What if we'd be attacked by something as soon as the RP starts? He'd have no way to defend himself. To take another example, Kirrian could hear it coming and avoid it. Johnny has a familiar to drive it off. Etc. We all have something to keep us safe, but if you were attacked you'd be screwed.

Also, one more thing. The rapier and armor? Unfair and kind of against the theme. Mementos are supposed to be small, worthless to the outside and good for you. If you start off with armor and a blade that would be VERY valuable, as it can be used to fight. The watch is fine because, who would care about something like that? But the rapier and set of metal scrap no, because nobody should start with it. Otherwise I'd bring a rocket launcher with me.

Name:

Johnathan McKenna

Age:

19

Sex:

Male

Appearance:

Standing at six feet and two inches tall, Johnathan is physically chubby in appearance, a caucasian male having a set of long incredibly dark brown hair that reaches half way down his back, however tied near the head into a ponytail, the hair is swept back neatly as a result, he also possesses a soul patch beard upon his chin. Despite his age, his facial features are reminiscent of that of a 15 year old, with less serious, innocent light blue eyes. His outfit consists of a long sleeve pure black cotton shirt, a brown belt tied around his waist, a pair of dark jeans and a pair of black high-rock punk boots. A fake silver necklace is also adorned by him, a pendent attached.

Personality:

Johnathan is both a realist and a pessimist, years of torment and suffering have caused him to become ferociously independent, craving the desire of safety, craving the desire to be loved, he is affectionate, loving and selfless, seeing himself as nothing but a worthless maggot, a pest and a piece of dirt, he would gladly give his life for someone else, despite him greatly fearing the thought of dying. Despite his selfless attitude, Johnathan can be a control freak and rather demanding, fearful of being forgotten, fearful of being left behind, Johnathan tries for force scenarios to go a certain way, to aid him at times, unknowingly by himself, Johnathan deep down is a coward, and weak, and possesses a mass amount of self-loathing, a trait which has been brought upon him from his horrible life thus far.

Background:

Johnathan grew up in Belfast ireland, along the antrim region, a happy and optimistic young lad, with minor autism, however due to this minor setback, others would treat him differently, as he grew up, he found out that, he had no talent, no skills, no reason to exist, to top it off, as he grew up, the friends who he met over the course of 19 years merely abused their relationship with him, one raped him out of mere pleasure, despite the boy not desiring any sexual intercourse with his friend, and was abused horrifically and assaulted during coitus, with his "friend" getting off scot free with the crime. He had another friend during his life, who was an abusive drug addicted asshole, who beat and assaulted Johnathan for fun, bullied him into he cried and kicked him around as if he were nothing more than a toy. Another friend simply used him for entertainment, didn't see a human who was weeping and crying, just a broken toy who wouldn't entertain his narcissistic desires, and finally, the last friend Johnathan ever had stomped over his life and crushed the joy within, the only one he could call his best friend merely pitied him, and didn't care about what he felt or the struggles he has experienced, he didn't even care, and turned his back on the weeping depressed male, punishing him to a life of loneliness..

Johnathan has a single father, his mother died of suffocation when Johnathan was merely 13, The emotional shock came to Johnathan as he slept beside her the very night she passed away, forced to stare into her cold lifeless eyes as he woke up, traumatising him with his mothers death.

From watching people die, to being stabbed, to being shot to being mugged, to being abused, tortured and tormented, Johnathan became weak, dependent and pitiful, he was worthless and deserved death in his own eyes, and as he grew up, he simply was alone, playing videogames, doing homework, trying to pass his A-level to get into a good college, not that it mattered, he was going to die painfully one way or another. It was one night, as Johnathan woke up the next working, scissors in his hand, contemplating his thoughts when he was transported to this peculier and strange realm... What awaited him was anyones guess... Maybe he could become... useful.

Powers:

Johnathan is a talentless entity, he has no skills, and no positives, what kind of power could he be given if he is talentless in all fields? Like in the world of humans, atleast for now, Johnathan in this world is nothing but a skilless loser, not surprising, his pessimistic and lack of power completely crushes his enthusiasm, it makes sense he'd be totally worthless here to.

Personal Motive:

He wants to be loved, he wants to feel safe, to feel comfort, to be free of pain, free of anxiety, free of suffering, but alive, he wants to live in a perfect world, where everyone can be joyful, be happy and be happy for johnathan, is it so much to ask for a boy who has gone through nothing but endless hardship and horrible torture to be given such a life? Would it be such a bad thing? To grant eternal happiness to both worlds?

Mementos:

Johnathan has no mementos, nothing he keeps on his person can remind him of any good event, everything he once had belonging to his own friends were personally burned by himself, he wasn't going to let their possessions poison his mind like that, and so, Johnathan lacks mementos

@Treepuncher121

I'll have to agree with Ammo here, the power seems a bit problematic... I'd feel comfortable if it was reworked. As for their memento, a rapier or armor doesn't fit the theme of what a memento should be either. Both a rapier and armor are considered valuable and can be used for many things... Mementos should be essentially useless or worthless things in the eyes of someone else or precious to you. If you truly wish to have a weapon of sorts, a small blade or sort may work, but it would have to be of some significant value and it would have to tie directly into your character's personality and backstory.

Also, the Character tab is only for accepted characters as a heads up.

@The_written_John

Hmmm... This is something that I'm fairly interested in. The character interests me and I'm curious to see how far he'll go in this strange world. Normally, I'd say to give the character a power, but- I will say that I will make an exception just this once.

He's accepted.

Don't die now.

Wouldn't it be more amazing for someone powerless to accomplish something in a world where he is at a total disadvantage? and hey, who knows, perhaps he gains a power later on in the rp?

He could defend himself pretty easily. He's a fencer, good at sword play. That's how'd he defend himself. Also, of course there would be limits to his power. Like the people can't be hostile and trying to cause harm. It's more of a non combat type thing. The item thing is something I will need to change. The armor and rapier I can get later. Sorry for the mix up haha. Also, my apologizes for posting my character there. Last time I was on the site that tab was not there.

ok wow here we go

Name:
Argo "Coco" Dolus

Age:
Twenty-seven

Sex:
Male

Appearance:
If anything, Coco doesn't look his age. Shorter than the average person, he stands at an inch under five feet even, matching with an airy eighty three pounds. He's got a full head of soft black hair and large dark eyes that only serve to make him seem younger. His skin is soft and naturally tanned, littered here and there only with a rainbow of bruises, and despite the softness of his cheeks, Coco's hands are rough and calloused. He is thin- unhealthily so- but is also rather athletic in the flexible sense. He has a fluidity about his movements that make him seem as though he's dancing. Prior to arriving in Kite, he was blind in one eye- the right- and although it was healed, the scar cutting through his bottom lashline is still visible. Coco's obsession with the number three derives from the number of moles on his body- three on his face (two over his glabella, and one right over the left side of his lip), six on the back of his right thigh in the shape of the Lyra constellation), and nine littering each arm (two on his left shoulder and two on his left forearm, then three forming a line over his right middle knuckle, and two more over his elbow).

Personality:
For the most part, Coco is rather agreeable, in the sense you tell him what to do and he'll nod his head and do it. There's a limit to his deference, however, and in order for him to stay loyal, he has to be reminded of the other side's power. Like a cheating snake waiting for his time, Coco will strike and rebel if the one bossing him around shows signs of weakness, or hesitation. Coco prefers the company of others, as he doesn't trust himself alone. He is very good at using his face and voice to express emotions, and can often be found mirroring other people's body language. He laughs easily, and has pitched up his voice for so long, it's a surprise whenever he speaks in his low tone. Overall, Coco can act much like any other child, but underneath, his own age and experiences aren't forgotten.

Background:


Powers:
Upon arrival at Kite, Coco has realized something strange about his body. Yes, he is still small and flexible, and yes he feels a bit lighter despite at the same time still being hungry, but there was something else. His eye, for one, was healed and though the upgrade was jarring at first, he found it worked much like his left. What did work differently was his body. He'd never felt freezing cold before except for when eating ice cream, but sometimes his body would become chilled. Other times his body would flare up with heat- unbearable, fiery heat like the hot summers of his homeland. He can transfer these temperatures onto other things, and can either be cold enough to freeze something he touches, or light it on fire. Either one is an uncomfortable feeling though- like having rubber bands tightly wound around your body.

Personal Motive:
Some peace would be nice, he thinks. He wants some time where he doesn't have to worry much about eating or money, and just sit for a while. Coco doesn't know if he wants to go home or stay in Kite, but he does know he just wants some down time.

Mementos:
Coco carries around with him a small white Bic lighter that he can't light unless with his left hand. There's a blue smudge of ink on its side, and he's not sure if it was once writing or just a smudge. He's also got a chain necklace with a cross charm on it that he likes touching- it's one of the nicer things he found in the trash. Probably isn't real gold, but who cares, it feels right around his neck.

I will draw a picture for his face soon and maybe his body but lmao bodies are hard so maybe not also sorry about his bio I have too much time on my hands )))))): you don't have to read it lmaoo youre not missing out much
