*Note: Originally, this was only intended for 1x1, but I think it'd be more interesting with more players. If you are however interested in the 1x1 version, please refer to this thread: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/19967/posts/ooc?page=1#post-517100. The 3-4 people max requirement still applies. Finally, the requirements have also been modified to accommodate for multiple people.*

It has been said that at the dawn of all things, from infinity to nothingness, the being known as Zyaxomort breathed life into all realities. In doing so, all worlds were born. From the tiniest atom, to the most complex universe. All things owed their existence to Zyaxomort, and all so originated. But there needed to be law. There needed to be order and stability. Thus, Zyaxomort gave life once more, this time in the form of the Ultimatum. Transcending time, space, and all other concepts, the Ultimatum was tasked to safeguard and protect the many realities. Never interfering, never instigating. Only watching. And so it has been so, and so it shall always be.

Enter the present day, in a world that has evolved unlike any other. Society has become unified, combining the ideals and beliefs of science, magic, and even religion, using them as a part of daily life and social norm. This blend of science and magic has come to be known as the Unity Concept. A single force known as the Ultimatum controls this world and serves as it's government.

Sunnydale High School. It's just another boring day for you. That is, until the new transfer student arrives. Enter Lucy Bastion. Young, attractive, and at the top of her class. But she holds nothing but contempt and a cold front towards those around her. Curious about this new ice queen, you decide to befriend her. Or at least try too. In doing so however, your efforts attract unwanted attention that ends up costing you your life. Well, almost.

One day you are attacked by something out of a fable. Something ancient and powerful. A being from the stuff of legends. And this is just the small fry. With that in mind, you give up in despair....only for Lucy to save you. And it is then that you finally discover her secret. She only desires one thing in this world or in any other: to take back that which has been stolen from her by the Ultimatum. A war front against Zyaxomort itself. Baffled by such a proclamation, she gives you a choice. Will you help her in this seemingly impossible, and probably suicidal mission? Or will you cower back to your life of normalcy? Choose carefully now. Because at the end of your tale, you may very well find yourself facing the being who dares to rebel against God's will.

Apologies for the long intro. Let's get some ground rules straightened out.

-Romance amongst characters is fine. For me, I'll do FxM or FxF.
-I'll be playing as Lucy as well as the higher ups (Zyaxomort, Ultimatum, etc.) if the story requires it.
-Please use correct grammar, no one liners, use accurate spelling, and at least one decent paragraph. Past experience from long ago has made me a tad bit skeptical.
-Post at least once a day. I understand if life gets in the way, so at least inform me of any absences.
-This will be kind of a mix between sci-fy and fantasy, meaning that spells and laser swords can exist in the same world. So go nuts!
-I'm looking for at least 3-4 people max, so first come, first serve.
-Yes, we will be using high schoolers. Because everyone loves teenage drama and anxiety.

And, I think that's it. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to let me know. Enjoy.

Sounds cool. But the intro kind of leaves you grasping for more information, without giving quite enough details to ask any logical questions. Can you elaborate a little more? Like the time and setting, significance (if any) of the mentioned characters (Zyaxomort and Ultimatum)..... I just kind of feel like I've been left wondering. But again, what I did get sounds cool.

Sorry if I sounded vague. For time frame, I'd like to think of it as a futuristic scenario where humanity has evolved. Again, it's a society that practices both magic and science, but these two are ultimately intertwined. For example, the ability to pass through walls is granted through a technology that increases the movement of molecules or something along those lines. Basically, it's magic but it's explained magic in a future society. Despite this though, true magic still exists in the world but it is rare to see someone practicing it. Society looks down on those who do not incorporate both technology and magic, and instead focus on only one aspect.

Zyaxomort is considered a God figure in this world, though there is many doubt to its existence. Furthermore, it exists as more of a concept than anything else. The Ultimatum however is very much real and serves as the authority or government controlling society and all other aspects. Because of its vast technology and power, some have even related the religious concept of Zyaxomort to the rule of the Ultimatum.

Hope that explains things and please feel free to ask more. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

No, no, it's fine. :)
I like your ideas. I'm sure I'll come up with more questions, but I can't think of anything right now. I hope another person or two shows interest.

No problem! Worse case scenario, we can always use the 1x1 version of this RP.

That's true! :D

I could get on board with this, provided I wouldn't have to play a useless peon that Lucy repeatedly saves over and over. :p

Sure thing! Just expect to be put to work though. Bringing down an entire government requires no less. :)

Interested. Sounds like a fun thing, and with a smaller group of dedicated players, I see it going places.

Alright! Just maybe one more person and we're good. Here's the OOC for anyone who's ready to start.

Threw together a character, hope it's okay.

I followed Imagine Peace here from my intro page and read your intro. I'll be down with creating something to join in with if you're still looking.

Alright welcome aboard. This should be enough people. If anyone still wants to do this RP, please refer to the 1x1 version linked at the first post.

I posted something - please let me know if my character is too much. ^^;

That's two people ready to go. All we need now is Bird and ThatCharacter. Then we can get started.
