Oh okay. I really just wanted to know about the doubling up deal, because I kinda just wanna role with a player character, and didn't want to be forced to play as a Key as well. Good stuff. I'll work on a character sheet and PM you later today.

It's good that we got that cleared up. I'm not forcing anyone to play Keys and players. You can pick whichever you like =3

I myself have my Key sheet halfway done and will start work on my human's sheet. Seeing as we'll have a little vacation starting from this Wednesday, I'll have time then and finish those two characters up.

Oh, and I would like to remark once more. Remember, this is a murder role-play. You should be prepared to play more than one character in the future. Some people aren't comfortable with playing more than one at a time, but do take note that, at some point, you might find yourself having/ having had more than one.

At first I was going to say "Nawh, my character is fine. No way he'll die, yo'" but then you gave me the perfect idea. Not sure if it will happen, but it is a good just-in-case back up plan if it does. Also lets me flesh out my character more, so becomes a bit of a win-win.

Well, it's gotten late, so I'm hitting the hay. Have fun around the guild~

Just posting to say I'm still in this. Work has been happening and I had a family thing yesterday. But Tuesday night is the last night that I'll be at work for a while, so if you'll bear with me just a bit longer, I'll have something up by then at the latest (I still might be able to squeeze it in before that)

For the record, though I might make both, are we shorter on keys or humans at the moment? I wouldn't mind playing either (or both,) and if I can help us be more balanced, I'd like to do so.

I have to say this caught my attention with the title and made think it was some time traveling plot that would probably have a cliche ending, but not what I was expecting at all. I read all the posts and the introduction was rather confusing at first, but after a few minutes I got the main idea. I am a rather intrigued about how the keys idea plays out. I was interested in the 'the soul will leave your body' thing if I can be honest. I never would have imagined someone could come up with something this promising, I am quite jealous. But all in all, I would like to join and make a character, maybe two depending if I really want to play someone's key. Either way, I'm rather interested. I can send you my character sheet directly to you whenever I have it done?

Please, excuse me if I have typos in this post. Writing on the phone is a bit hard.

Take your time and don't worry =3 I understand that family meetings and the like are events, which one can simply not ignore or delay. I would like to ask you all to warn me beforehand when we start the role-play, so I can know that you haven't just poofed.

As for how many characters we have now, there are 3 Keys and 1 human. If Van's and Fire's characters are human as well, they would be even. If you ask me, simply do what you feel comfortable =3

It warms my heart to read comments like these =3 I am glad that my plot grabbed you interest and am happy to hear that you think of it as promising. Whenever you are done with the character sheet, feel free to send it to me ^ ^

So we just need two more humans? I can have my character just be human if needed to do so.

Indeed, you can =3 . Send me your character sheet whenever you are ready. Thank you for being interested ^ ^

Fire, if you feel comfortable with playing two characters, I would advice them to be a human and a Key. However, if you wish to start off with only one character, be my guest and make them whatever you wish =3.
Right now, our balance is splendid. We have three confirmed keys and two confirmed humans. If Sonatina creates an acceptable human character, this would mean we would have three humans. Thus you and Krauxis may create both a key and a human, without tilting the scale.
Even if you decide you want to make only one character, I don't think that it would cause much of a problem, seeing as I plan on allowing a few more people in. I'm going to keep this Int.Che. up for a little while more, in order to see if anyone else would like to participate, but at this very moment, the assembled team looks promising and perhaps even enough to get the story started.
Still, I would personally prefer to have five humans and five keys in the very beginning, just so there would be more chances for different interactions and variety.

In other news, how are you all? =3

Sharing a little video for motivation X3

Alright, it took a while, but I finished. Please don't hold back on feedback. I didn't feel 100% clear on some of the limitations on skills and stuff, so I'm not completely confident going forward, but there's lots of room for change if you feel like something doesn't quite fit.

Dropping in on interest chat. Gained knowledge of this via skype conversations with GM and decided on attempting to join. Hello folks!

Intending to conjure sheets for both a Key and a Human character. Key sheet complete and pending revisions and working on human.

I look forward to working with you all.

Updates. Updates. Updates.

Ok, everyone, it's time for some announcements.

First of all, and what you are probably thinking about, the date of story start. It should be in the near future, yet currently discussions are being lead through PMs and so far not that many people actually have completed sheets. I'm not going to give you guys a deadline or anything, but if you want this story to get rolling already, do make haste ^ ^. I don't want this to die so early on.
Second on today's topic list are the conversations me and Four (aka John) had on Skype. I'm going to post some of the content here, seeing as some of this information should be accessible to you all.

Q1: How exactly are situations qualified as 'battles' or not?
A: 1.The moment someone or something attacks you with hostility.
2.When two or more beings willingly agree to battle. (friendly match)
3.When you yourself state that you will be entering battle to your Key.

The Key is the one who changes the mods. It may or may not agree to enter battle, which would render you incapable of using your active and passive skills. This, you could say, is also one of the Key's functions. Keeping the owner in check. Humans aren't allowed to kill citizens, who aren't on the wanted lists. Thus Keys prevent humans from harming innocent townspeople. Of course, the Key itself might want to harm them, yet the game system punishes such actions most of the time.

Q2: What would a "life story" of a key be like?
A: Keys have rather complex stories depending on their age, which you may or may not chose to describe in detail. However, there are a few things, which you should take note when writing a Key's history:
1. Time in the Key Shop
2. First run
3. Owners and overall experience in the game.

Q3: Do Keys have a life of their own except when with a human?
A: They have a life of their own, however, it is somewhere between the consciousness and subconsciousness. When in the shop, the Key doesn't do much, other than stay in an endless loop of nothingness, in an abyss of darkness they can not escape. They are not capable of entering Cell City or any other place. Their entire being resides inside the key (object), which is more or less their residence. Inside the key, it is complete and utter darkness. They can no see anything, not even their own limbs. Truth be told, they wouldn't have limbs inside the key to begin with, due to the fact that they would exist inside the key as a spiritual being. A soul, in very very simple terms.

When in this state, it is not impossible for them to converse with beings of their own kind. However, the ones who are capable of creating a connection, a telepathic connection, are those who generally have a higher psyche. The process would not only require a high stat, but also for the two or more keys to be close to each other. When in the shop, the keys are near one another. Thus those with a high psyche can talk to other keys, yet the ones with a low psyche can only wait for someone to talk to them. Once a connection has been established, they ones inside the "chatroom" can talk with each other.

However, a Key can not simply start talking while inside the object. In the first place, it has to realize it isn't simply unconscious when in the darkness. After all, most people wouldn't really shout out to others. They'd think that this was their own mind. That is why I stated that, when not materialized, Keys are somewhere between the consciousness and subconsciousness.

Q4: What are restrictions on stats? are they tied to levels or the such
A: In highly depends on how you look at the question.
On the one hand, stats aren't tied to levels, because they aren't restricted by them.
On the other hand, stats are tied to levels, because each time a user and their key level up, they receive stat points, which can be used in order to increase stats.
I've placed stat restrictions on the character sheets, since you need starters as newbies. But once the characters are in the game, there's nothing restricting you to having 100 Speed at level 12, so long as you find a way to earn the stat points.
Thirdly, I would like to request that you all state under your active skills what kind of stats affect the said skill. You can take the skills offered in the areas as an example. Some stats lead to a skill's power to increase, while boosting others lead to a skill's decrease in power.


That's all I have for tonight, folks =3 I probably forgot something, seeing as it's late at night, but I'll look through this post tomorrow and maybe add more information. Who knows. Oh, and I've almost finished my human's sheet. She's up on the site at the moment....*looking at in-game information*....I wonder if lack of sleep does this to everyone. XD

Very interesting. :)
Are slots still open? If so, I think I'll play as a key. I never tried running 2 characters at once I may as well stick to one. It's fine if my character dies though ^_^ One question, is it alright if my character, a key, looks like a human? I know you said it can take on any form but I just want reassurance. I'm thinking of a girl that can wield a very large weapon if that's alright with you.

Slots are still open and yes, your Key can be human-like =3.......There hasn't been a key that isn't human-like....Oh well, human-like residents of Cell City are not that common anyway, so it's alright.
