New Miraculous: Stories from the New World
Everyone knows the stories of the Miraculous Stones. The flashy suits, the mysterious masks, the incredible powers. Power that can be used for good, or for evil. There have been many heroes over the centuries to use the Miraculous Stones, the french heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir only being the most recent. But what many don't know is that there exists a second set of Miraculous Stones, one for the New World. One that has just resurfaced in Washington D.C., the capital of the United States. And as a sinister villain arises, it's time for a new generation of heroes to emerge.
He calls himself Vesper. And he's not here to be your friend. What he wants, who he is, where he came from, no one knows. A cunning tactician hiding in the darkness, Vesper possesses a Miraculous Stone himself, one with abilities similar to Hawkmoth. Using the power of Discord, Vesper exerts his influence on people who are angry, who are hurt, and who have darkness in their hearts. Taking advantage of their negative emotions, he can transform a confused, lost, angry soul into a vengeful monster, wreaking havoc upon others. And unlike Hawkmoth's akuma, these monsters can only be purified when the darkness in their hearts has been eradicated.
With no magic yo-yo's to make everyone feel better, the new heroes must work as a team, not only to better their powers, but to better themselves. Because for once, these are villains who cannot be defeated solely with brute force or sly wit. There are still innocent people trapped within the monsters, who can only be set free when their hearts are free from anger and hatred. Do your heroes have what it takes to defeat Vesper? Or will darkness and chaos reign supreme?
Some very important things to know!
- This RP will be a spin off of Miraculous Ladybug, and will have OC's only. You may mention the other superheroes, but no cannon characters will make appearances.
- This RP will be mid-high casual, with character development, proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation being a must. There will be a 2,000 character minimum per post, with no maximum limit. If you don't think you can write put in 2,000 characters each post, then this RP is not for you.
- As of writing, there are 5 spots open for players. @Fusby, @RokkuHoshi, and myself will be the GMs, so please treat us respectfully. Note, this is not a first come, first served situation. Fusby, RokkuHoshi and I will go over the characters submitted, and will select the 5 best candidates from those who apply. Character personalities, biographies, powers, strengths, and weaknesses will be a huge factor in the selection process. We are looking for balanced characters who fit the happy atmosphere of the show.
- This will not be a dark RP. I'm making this warning right off the bat. If your character backstory has material that would be inappropriate on the show, you will find it will be inappropriate here. Characters whose backstory involves excessive darkness such as murder, rape, disfiguration, brutality, gore, substance abuse, physical and sexual abuse, torture, insanity, imprisonment, orphanages, and cults will find their chances of acceptance to be extremely low. That does not mean your character has to be perpetually happy, or come from a perfect home. But there are better ways to make character conflict and development than using the easy-tragedy route.
- Similarly, the Miraculous Stones are not all powerful. You can find a more detailed description of the powers and limiters of the stones in Suit Rules, but please do not make your character overly powerful, wise, and all-knowing. Particularly at the beginning, when characters are just receiving their Miraculouses. If we feel your character is too powerful, we will ask you to tone them down.
- Romance between the characters is allowed. Depending on whether or not your GMs are shipper trash (I am), it may even be encouraged. However, let's keep things PG-13 in the thread. If you want to go further, please take it into PMs.
- Each accepted player can have one main character, and various side and static characters. However, side characters cannot have powers, and cannot know the identity of the main character. (Unless you make a really, really convincing argument for it.) Players can choose to reveal their identities to each other if they wish, but you cannot go around and learn the identities of the other characters without their permission. Likewise, your Kwami will not tell you anything about the other characters, their identities, or their powers. Their little fairy lips are sealed.
That is all for things you need to know! If you are new to the concept of Miraculous Ladybug, please read The Nutshell and Suit Rules. If you are familiar with Miraculous Ladybug, you should still read Suit Rules. There are goodies hidden inside of it, so don't think you can get away without reading it.
And the CS, so you guys know what will be expected of you! You don't need to post CS's here and now, though it might give you a head start.
That's all, folks! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us!
