...to Genesis Void, a freeform RP where you can develop a character set in a dark fantasy world, shape the world around you and create artifacts and lore.

• This is a fantasy roleplay set in a dark subterranean world called the Endless Halls, so no modern/fandom or anime characters please. Some minor machinery might exist (think Dwarven or gnomish tech) but when in doubt just ask in the OOC.
• Your purpose in the Endless Halls is to discover who your character is and develop a personality. Think of it like a chance to flex your writing muscles. Interact with other characters and go on a journey or simply reflect on your characters thoughts and former actions.
• The Endless Halls are infinite. Feel free to invent chambers and caverns to explore. Entire cities might exist beneath the earth-whatever you can imagine.
• Feel free to invent quests/goals or story arcs. You can invite other characters/players to join you or tell your own characters story. I will introduce characters as I see fit to give some semblance of a plot.
• It is highly recommended that you use the soundtrack. Please add any music you see fit to the Rp.
• The tone is not exceptionally dark. There are lighter places in the Void, but also enemies to defeat.
• As GM, I will update the world information, accept/deny characters and try and keep some order in the narrative. I will also be running any NPCs that exist in the Endless Halls.
• This list updated at my discretion.

To start roleplaying, submit a character sheet in the OOC thread. Once you receive a like from me you may post in the Character Tab and start rping in the IC section. Also, if you plan on using an image for your character appearance, be sure to write that appearance as well-this is an RP to develop and hone your writing skills after all. I also prefer non-anime images-not a requirement, just a preference. Other than that feel free to develop your character as much or little as you wish before you start roleplaying. Be sure to update your character sheet as necessary so were all on the same track. Have fun!

You can create and use magical artifacts and items of power. But there are a few guidelines for doing so:

• Any given character may have in his/her possession one artifact or item at a time.
• Artifacts have two properties, no more or less. The first property is called the Dominant Power and is defined by the player who created the object. The second property is called the Latent Power and must be created by another player within a certain period of time of initial creation. If a Latent power is not invented/discovered by another player/character, the artifact disappears from the Halls.
• You must submit an Artifact Sheet for approval in the OOC before introducing it in-game.

Well there's no CS, but I'm wondering if we are supposed to just share what we want or have a barebones character that develops over time. This seems interesting, but I'm not quite sure how much story I'll be adding myself, I'm not very good at creating those areas. I'm including a pretty barebone CS, but if you were expecting more I can add more.

Echo [+]

Name: Echo Kaiser

Appearance [+]

This is basically what he looks like. He has a few mutations where he now only has two fingers and a thumb on each hand and he only has two toes. His flesh appears to be greyish, but he is covered in a type of white-ish armor. He can only see between the joints where the armor separates. The armor doesn't come off and doesn't restrict his movements or flexibility. He also has glowing eyes and is mute.

Abilities: All he can do for now is summon a white whisp. It runs away and dissipates if he doesn't keep it in his lantern. Heightened senses and strength.

Inventory: A lantern, a mask with three eyes and a door.

That's fine for a CS. You can add as little or as much as you wish. As you can see this is very much under construction. Don't worry about story elements, I'll be adding NPCs with story ideas as we go along. Thanks for taking an interest!

Name: Gish
Appearance: A squat, 4ft girl with matted black hair. She's got the Innsmouth look, with her eyes being set too far apart, her mouth being a little too wide, her skin clammy and grey, and her black hair matted and unkempt. She wears clothes the appear to be made fashioned out of reeds, including a large hat that obscures most of her face.

Inventory: A fife, carved out of a greenish wood. A small knife, for carving said fife.

Personality: Ruled by a cautious curiosity. Deeply religious and chalks thing up to providence. Talks a lot when nervous, which is all the time.

History: Raised in an inland swamp by her mother. Never knew her father. Mother eventually went into the water and never came back, leaving her to fend for herself. Doesn't know how long ago that was.

Other: Faster and more dexterous in the water.

I've updated the CS with a Race: category. Just to be safe...And please don't post your CS directly to the Character Tab without a 'like' from me after you've posted in the OOC. That's my fault for not clarifying-no harm done. Also I'll mention again that this is sort of constantly under construction (that's just how my mind works) but I'll try and give a bump to let everyone know of major changes. I've started Amheursts story if anyone is interested. Questions?

Clabeth [+]

Appearance: Has a darker tone of skin, and frizzy wavy hair. She has a short stature and pale white eyes. Clabeth's face is covered in small unoticable freckles. She is usually seen in a pair of overalls and a light blouse beneath.
Inventory: Carries house keys and a small knife with her.
History: Calbeth used to live in the desert with her family. However, she left as she was nearly blind in the desert from the sun. Looking for a place to live, she found the undergrounds and settled down.
Other: Better eyesight in the dark than in lighter areas.

Nothing wrong with living in the desert. Do you mean Clabeth literally almost went blind or just wanted to get out of the sun? I'm not sure Clabeth would have better eyesight in the dark after growing up in the desert however...What do you think?

I'm engrossed by this concept, definently going to try my hand at it.

Name: The Mindskitter

Race: Aberration

Appearance:

Inventory: Nothing

Personality: A quite intellectual being, really, with the ability to make very educated decisions, even devilishly clever ones, for such a horrid beast of it's caliber. Usually behaves mildly, though, unless extremely perturbed.

History: The feeder of knowledge, it is an aberration that has been detailed from nearly the beginning of written surfaces. It is famous for it's peculiar habit of following those of the Infinite halls, especially whom are new inhabitants, constantly and indefinitely. It craves, even feeds off, knowledge and travels onward and onward through the infinite halls to find hosts capable of providing it's most thoughtful sustenance. Due to it's frightening rarity, perhaps even the last of it's kind, many do not harm the utterly unique creature.

Other: The Mindskitter does not require food, sleep, drink, or air to survive, but only a constant stream of knowledge. If not provided with such within a 120 hour period, it will suddenly go into a dormant, hibernation state that it can only be woken up from with the introduction of tantalizing information (the reading of a chapter or two will do). It can be killed through physical (and even magical) means, but not psychic, pyschological, or charm-based ones. It's singular mode of self-transportation is it's innate ability to drift/float it's body mass of the ground at a moderate pace.

Knowledge Consumption: Whilst consuming the knowledge of an indivual, the person merely feels a slight, pleasing tingling sensation at the back of their neck, near the brainstem. Knowledge consumed goes into the Mindskitter's "plane of psyche", which is detailed by a few rare philosophers to be an infinite extension of the beast's cerebral. The Mindskitter is instantly pleased differently depending on the knowledge's origin potency, as if it were actually eating (a knight's secret oath tastes as a royal banquet, a lover's secret wish; rich cake).

Communication; If impressed by the knowledge it consumes from one or another indivual, the Mindskitter has been legendarily theorized to be able to open it's indescribable plane of psyche up to most characters in order to communicate with them through a method of telepathy. Such plane can be closed at anytime. The Mindskitter can also communicate with a person while they are sleeping by interrupting any dreams they may have been having.

I'm engrossed by this concept, definently going to try my hand at it.

Was wondering when someone would try something like this :). Love the monster-is it Unique or are there other Mindskitters? Maybe it's the last? I would say ditch the 'no form of communication' bit-describe exactly how it communicates so we can all interact with the thing. Also, what exactly happens to the 'knowledge' that it consumes? To the person it consumes it from? Can it be any kind of knowledge? I imagine mundane stuff like 2+2=4 would be akin to a handful of goldfish while the exact details of the way a Gnomish Airship powers itself would be like a porterhouse dinner. Or something like that. Great concept!

Will do, thanks for the complement and feedback!

EDIT; After the alterations, should I be good to put it in the CS tab?

Yup. Also I'm going to PM you with a few ideas.

@GodOfWar Quick question: How big is the Mindskitter?

@GodOfWar Quick question: How big is the Mindskitter?

Not much bigger then your average humanoid. If set down it's around 5'4" or 5'5", while floating it's only a few two inches extra off the ground.

Just to clarify, Amheurst does not know the Mindskitter is feasting on his knowledge.

Quick question for everyone: Is it cool if I move this RP over to the Casual Section? I think it has outgrown the Free Section both in tone, depth and attitude. I would basically just transfer all of the game information into a new thread, copy and paste the story thus far and have Hank or someone close this thread. Only thing you guys would need to do is transfer your character sheets. Let me know how you guys feel about that. Probably won't happen for at least another 24-36 hours if everyone is OK with it. THanks!

That's fine with me. Can you post a link to the new thread here though too.

I'm okay with whatever.

Oh wow, okay. I hadn't really poked my head into the free section speaking prior, I'd been under the uninformed assumption that most of what I'd see'd be a little too basic and quick-fire for my tastes. This looks really interesting though, potentially. If you're going to shift the thread over I'll wait on that, then I'll make an application hopefully.

@Lichthart Coolio, nice to have another player.
