@Traitor Oooh. I get it now. Lol.

Will get a character up by the end of tomorrow, would have done it over the weekend but I was (And sort of still am) in the process of moving house.

That's fine. Take your time.

...now here's a weird coincidence. I helped a friend with their moving process, yesterday. Couldn't be...right?

Here's the deal: I don't have a problem with this as is, being fairly open and up-to-interpretation. I'm even gonna say that this'll make it more challenging for me to come up with fun little puzzles you can't out-wizard. But there's a catch. And you might not like it as much as I do:
Whenever Ron Weasley here swings his magic wand to invoke whatever spell he intended... I will decide how much of the intended result actually takes place, and what other side effects occur.

Playing with fire is dangerous, you know?

I'll be honest here; I like the idea of shouting "MAGIC MISSILESSHH" and instead, my hand flies out like a missile; and maybe if he tries to maybe make a fireball, he sets fire to himself-- Oh God, the possibilities are endless! I think I just gave you an idea.

Hands-flying-out of fat children aside, does this mean my magic fat kid character is accepted?

@Sir Avita ..I can imagine the fireball scenario already, I also await its happening. It must be done.

Yes, it is. And the things I have in mind are far, far worse. =3
Why setting himself on fire if he can set everyone on fire?

I tried to pick a power that would be hard to turn against me, lol.

@Lyrix Same. Lol.

Hi everyone. A friend pointed me to your RP and this board, so I'm totally new here. But your setting sounds fun, so I'll just throw my application in the thread.

Name: Robin Schmelzer
Age: 26
Gender: male

Appearance: Robins build is average. He has some visible muscles, but is far from packed like a bodybuilder. His height is about 1,80m (thats almost 6 feet in your strange and otherworldly measurement system). His hair is brown and long enough to cover neck and ears. His most distinguishable feature is, that he lost his right leg and left arm and he's wearing prostheses instead.
Dream appearance: Almost the same, the only difference are his artificial limbs. They appear as occult combination of technology and living matter (imagine: metal structure and joints thats covered with muscles, pieces of flesh and tentacles), that's why he covers them all the time with long shirts and trousers, while he has no problem showing them off in normal life.

Personality: Again, nothing too special. He is quite educated and generally a nice guy when he's together with friends and family and likes to use sarcasm to make a point. That can be aproblem if someone meets him for the first time. Most of his friends say that they thought of him as an ignorant ass until they get to know each other better. Maybe thats some kind of self defense mechanism of his sub-consciousness to prevent him getting into trouble ? Who knows.
Dream personality: The same.

Background: Ah, now the interesting part. While he studied in university he had an accident that cost him his right leg and the left arm. Fortunately he studied medical engineering with a scholarship from a institute that specializes in the research and production of top-of-the-art prostheses. Robin works now, after finishing university, in their R&D Department. By enrolling himself in new studies he gains access to modern and effective replacements, thus he can continue his life almost unaffected by his disability.
His first contact with lucid dreaming was in the hospital during the tedious process of repairing everything that was salavageble. He discovered, that he is able to enter lucid dreams, if he is under the effect of heavy narcotics. Even now, fully healed, he sometimes uses connections and more or less legal ways to acquire these drugs. Neither parents nor friends know about this, as far as he knows.
Power: His artificial limbs are not affected during dreams. That means he can't change their appearance, form or anything else about them, but neither are they changed or influenced by the dream environment. A flame would burn his right hand, but wouldn't even leave a mark on his left.

Other: Hmmm, nope, I think that's it.

Well, my application. I hope everything comprehensible and if ou have questions, just ask ^^

An interesting idea, that's for sure. I have only one problem with the CS. You may want to read the first post again. If you can find the error, you're in.

The map is currently being worked on. It'll be all interactive and amazing and shit. You should all be looking forward to it. This might very well be the best map of all time.

oh well. Funny that I've read everything else and skipped over that part to get to the cs template. and there I wondered why everyone wrote (stupid) things about ducks. Looks like a darwin award for me.
okay, than here's a rarely known fact: Ducks share a lot of attributes with electrical engineers - fundamental understanding of thermodynamics, mathematics and the tendency to skip over paragraphes while reading. they are often kept as pets by evil engineers that try to conquer the world with orbital lasers, designed and constructed by ducks

PS: I feel really dumb now xD

Stupid things about ducks? STUPID THINGS ABOUT DUCKS?!

GET OUT.

Nah, you're in.

So, the way I see it we're gonna wait for Oni_ to post their CS, I'll finish that fabulous map by then and get some more brain-crunching done... And then we're good to go. I think.

I went ahead and posted a CS myself. Well, pretty much all of it is unknown to all of you as of now, so it's kind of ABSOLUTELY USELESS as is. But as things are being discovered, I will update it with the revealed information.

Name: Saniya Jain
Age: 24
Gender: Female… mostly.
Appearance: 5’5”, dusky brown skin, shoulder-length black hair, thin and slightly hawkish face with full lips, a solid nose, and thick, serious brows. She dresses very well, usually in more muted colors with simple designs.
Dream appearance: Decidedly androgynous. Her hair is cut short so that it barely reaches the nape of her neck, she’s very thin and flat-chested, and her facial features are mildly more masculine. She’s also just a shade taller and her skin is slightly darker. Finally, she looks younger, perhaps eighteen or nineteen. Her voice remains female.
Personality (reality): Reserved and somewhat distrustful of strangers. ALWAYS on time everywhere, and generally a hard worker, depending on what she is being asked to do. Enjoys logic puzzles and reading, but is very bad at memorization and an absolutely terrible artist. Takes commitments very seriously.
Dream personality: Angry. Not necessarily angry at other people, just angry. Above all, she will put herself and her own interests first. This is not to say she will not work with a team, but if something is more than mildly inconvenient for her, expect her to drag her heels, and she’s not going to be taking a bullet for anyone. With this in mind, it should be known that she’s not above manipulating someone else.
Background: Grew up in a small town. Grew bored in a small town. Found her own way to have fun in a small town when she was a young adult, which parents did not approve of. But then again, kids will be kids and should be allowed to make a few mistakes, except…
She had a younger brother. Her younger brother was diagnosed with leukemia. Saniya was diagnosed with hepatitis. Other bone marrow was used. She does not have a younger brother anymore. Bad things just happen, sometimes.
After quite a lot of therapy, Saniya got her life together. She is currently putting herself through college. Shockingly, this has not been enough to get her parents to talk to her. However, her dreams are a different story. Sometimes she is herself, sometimes she is her brother, sometimes she is both at once, and while she still remembers the last five years, she regresses to the mental and emotional state that she was shortly after her brother died. She started looking into lucid dreaming to see if she could change her dreams, because they are quite exhausting. She does not seem to have much of a knack for it.
Power: Probability manipulation
Other: If you can stand the heat, she's a very good cook.

Also, did you know that ducks are actually equally capable of floating upside down as they are right side up? They choose not to because if they did we would realize that gravity does not exist and fall into the sky. It is by the grace of ducks alone that we exist.

And suddenly, another!
I can get behind this and specifically like the personality/dream personality disparity. We need more anti-teamplayers too.

My only gripe is the power. I would call it... "probably a bit unprecise". Elaborate a bit, maybe, and you got your front-row seat.

You're right, sorry about that. If she focuses, she is able to determine the odds of a situation going one way or the other. The more important the decision, the more effort it takes to figure out. Once she does this, she can shift the odds in favor of one outcome or another. If you need further clarification, let me know.

I will address this further when the situation arises, probably via PMs. Actually you're giving me the most lethal tool yet. I'm sure everyone will thank you later. Head on over to the character tab and add your character to it!

And with that out of the way, I'm waiting for Oni_ to post, then we can roll. The map is being completed as you read this. There are still a few puzzles to be figured out but I'm confident that your bickering between one another will give me more than enough time. Else I'll just have random explosions delay your progress.
One more important matter. This concerns your abilities and my ability to make them not work. Would you rather...

Option A) have me decide individually, which would make it more direct and reactive (but you might perceive it as "unfair" at times), or

Option B) have me dice it out, which would make it more fair but less situationally hilarious?

I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could offer their opinion on this but I'll decide for option A anyway so we can decide democratically.

Can we please roll the dice? xD

BEHOLD! It is the magnificent NIGHTMARE MAP!



I recommend that you open this in another tab and zoom in as the labels are fairly small. This is so I can update the map in great detail with whatever changes are being made by you or me. I will give a more in-depth explanation in my RP opener, and explain things/reveal the scratched out labels as you discover them IC. The observant among you will probably be able to determine the obvious goal to work towards from this. Let's get this show on the road soon, shall we?
