Welcome to Fantasia! I'd like to inform you that you, have died. As sad as it may be, it’s unimportant how. Well, at least for the bigger picture, but I guess it is pretty important for you, eh? What can I say, tough luck? Better luck next time. But let’s not dawdle on depressing things! You have died and just as you were expecting a dark tunnel with a white light at the end, you are confronted with a peculiar message:
 

The whole thing looked like it was taken from the video games you used to play, except for the question about restarting in another world. What's with that? Shouldn’t it say “restart at the last checkpoint”? Hm, I guess not. Right below the question, there were two options: [YES] and [NO].

Naturally, you're going to choose yes. Why? Because this story needs you to! How do you expect me to lead this story if you decide you're fine with being dead? Stay on the rails! I mean, on figurative rails, not real ones, because then you’ll probably just die again. Unless you're some sort of superhero. Which you may very well become in this new world we’re going.

Just as you press [YES], a new message replaces the previous ones.


Now, what the hell does that mean?! Aren’t you already created? Your mom and dad worked hard at it too! Does this reincarnation system want to pick a fight with you!?! You are perfect the way you are, they said so at school! A special little snowflake!

Hm, but are you sure you're perfect? Maybe you wanted to be a little slimmer, a tad taller or you might be unhappy with your gender? Be honest, I won’t judge. Actually, I will, but I can promise you that I'll keep everything confidential. If I had lips, they would be sealed!

Here’s your chance to fulfill all of those fantasies, except the particularly weird and perverted ones. This isn't the place for those. Let us now dive in this fantasy world filled with magic, adventure and annoying anime tropes!

An explosion of colors suddenly appear around you. What was previously a pitch black void of death was now dyed in a cloudy combination of white and blue. The message telling you to create your character was gone and in it is place, some kind of form appeared before you. It took you only a quick glance to realize what it was.

A Character Sheet:

 
Now that you've decided to [FINALIZE], you have officially made your character. Or, better say, remade yourself. Congratulations! Now, our journey can begin. Fasten your seat belts, because we are about to land! Reincarnation world, here we come!

Once again, light explodes and you get engulfed by a rainbow-colored whirlpool of energy. A sudden feeling of being launched downwards possesses you and the instinctive fear of falling forces you to scream. As you look bellow you the myriad of colors clear and an unfamiliar landscape began rapidly approaching you. Your eyes water from the speed, making you unable to properly inspect the features of the world around you. Not that you’d have enough composure to do it anyway, as your destination became clear: a gray, rocky mountainside. You show no signs of stopping as you draw closer and closer until finally you hit the mountain’s surface at full force, exploding from sheer force of the impact into a spectacle of gore...

That didn’t happen. Before you collided with the surface, either out of fear or something else, you lose your consciousness and darkness envelops your mind. What could possibly happen next?

I will make a CS and PM it.

You just summed up all the stuff I love in one story. @Rofka

I'm interested I'll try to get a CS to you either late tonight or some time tomorrow.

This is a cool concept, reminds me of an old RP of mine just a tiny bit. I don't like having too many RPs active at once, but I could see myself making an exception here. I know it's fantasy but, would you have problems with cybernetics or robotics?

I'm interested, I'll keep and eye on this.

I am interested as well.

@Masaki Haruna@Argetlam350@Kafka Komedy@Arcarius@Tom Lyon Glad to hear that people are actually interested.

@Kafka Komedy I'm not against it, but for now, I'd only allow basic stuff when it comes to robotics. Nothing advanced, so basically steampunk or clockwork level stuff.

@Rofka It's strange, because I've seen this exact interest check posted by someone else a few weeks/months ago. I don't want to go around accusing anyone of anything, but you only have thirteen posts on your account and about half of them only contain the word "erased".

Basically, I'm asking if you stole this without permission.

@Rofka Ahh, makes sense. I may do something relating to ghosts than. Any ideas on the general world you're trying to portray? You said nothing beyond steampunk: how powerful is magic? Is there magictech?

@BurningCold My, that's a bit rude isn't it? Tons of similar Roleplays pop up all the time. I'm not saying you're wrong, it's a possibility, but without evidence or anything it just seems rude and unneeded.

@BurningCold We've got ourselves a little detective, huh?

And regarding your question, uhm, no. I asked permission. You can ask whoever it was who started those threads that you saw and you'll get your answer.

@Kafka Komedy Hmmm. I'm not sure what the right term will be, but in general, its going to be extremely eccentric. At least most of the time. Expect a weird mix of fantasy and whimsicallity; there are gonna be a few instances of seriousness though.

Both magic and magictech are fine and quite common. However, the way they are utilized is very minimal. Only a few have the capability to truly harness magic. It wouldn't be surprising to encounter a civilian who could snap his fingers and create a small flame or a blacksmith woud coud turn his arms into forge tools.

@Rofka Hmm. In that case I may be able to go with part of my original plan. Someone with a metal skeleton and more plastic-y skin. Muscles and internal organs are all the same, no enhanced strength or anything like that. Look like this:


Too futuristic and or horrifying if you really think on it?

@Kafka Komedy I don't think it's rude, or that this was something that should be handled privately, as it's not a private matter. It's not that this interest check and the other looked similar, it's that they are actually word for word including the picture exactly the same.

Rofka and I are PMing right now, hopefully we can reach an understanding.

EDIT: The GM should have put in the original post that he had gotten permission to use the idea.

@Kafka Komedy Yeah, I'm totally fine with that. He could have like a magitek heart that keeps him alive or something.

@BurningCold I think its rude, so whatever.

Whatever indeed.

Ahem. Anyways...

@Rofka Awesome. I'll start thinking on abilities. Don't want to go with "hes a robot so hes super strong and durable and nothing else" so I'll think on possible powersets. Would he still be able to use magic?

@Kafka Komedy Actually, it would depend on the type of magic that you plan on using. But if you're asking if he's capable, then most definitely.

@Rofka Ah, there are different classifications of magic? I was thinking minions or dark magic, would he be able to preform those?

@Kafka Komedy Nah, for now, there aren't really any specific classes. Yeah, I believe he could.

I'm also interested, if their is room left.
Also: Is their a naming preference? Since you used manga as your inspiration, I assume Japanese names are OK. If not, I can change the name.

Ooh this looks interesting!
