"This is a train bound for -----. The next stop is--"

A late-night train ride is anything but glamorous, but at least this one seems to be fairly calm (even with the announcer being unintelligible as he was). There seem to be a few others riding in the same car as you, each probably with their own things to handle and own worries. Well, there's only one for you right now: get back home. Or, well, back to a hotel if you're visiting this place for the moment, but regardless. After all, it's well past midnight, and crime never sleeps.

Of course, the day was tiring, and so as you sit idly by, the LED display overhead begins to flash, a wave of drowsiness comes over you. Grasping tightly onto whatever belongings that you have, the screen above shows something that seems... Seriously out of place.

Next Stop: Relfan Town, Empire of Tewan

Before any thoughts of panic or confusion can kick in, though, you pass out.

However much longer later, you wake up. It's groggy at first, but the light streaming into the car through the windows shows that it's daytime. Given how it was nighttime when you dozed off... Was it possible that you were at the train yard now?

A quick glance around shows that those people with you also seem to be in a similar predicament, but before anything else, a chorus of cellphone text chimes goes off. Everyone seems to grasp instinctively at their phones, and each text reads something like this:

"Sorry~! I'm kiiiinda in need of some help here, so I dragged you and everyone else here to this world. Don't worry, I've handled all that messy stuff about possibly being missing, so could you please help me with some stuff? I know you're, like, not all strong or anything, but I've given everyone here a special ability~! The details are in the next message you'll get.
After you guys get your bearings straight, pop out of the train car and follow the road to get to the nearest town. You'll learn more there. Have a great adventure~!"

...
What?

A second message pops up, just as promised, but before anyone can take a look at that, the doors to the train car open.
And so it begins.



So yeah! A classic isekai RP. I've tried variants that were more 'out there' in the past, but this is the stuff boiled down to the basics. Complete with cheats for the characters dragged in! Granted, these cheats will be nowhere near as broken as they usually are in such light novels, but hey! Cheats!

Of course, prospective RPers also have the ability to play characters from the world itself, so you're not locked into playing what I like to call 'imports'.

This is just an IC, though, so we're probably not starting for a bit. But hey, here's a form!


So... Yeah! Gates are open. Questions, concerns, and criticisms are all fine, too.

Hopefully you guys get some ideas during the next few days. :D

@ClocktowerEchos: Nope! The world will develop as the group moves, so everyone will be treading new land in-character. Of course, you already know a few things about the place if you recall from the OP, but other than that, everyone's... Mostly going in blind.

Looks really interesting, still got space?

Do I need to have watched Isekai or what have you to... get this? I'd like to be a Newcomer if possible but uh, what's a cheat? o.O

Definitely super keen.

@Daft Monarch: Isekai 「異世界」 is a Japanese phrase that quite literally means 'another world'. The stories usually entail people being transported (or reincarnated post-mortem) into a fantasy world. This is just a generic, so while it has roots in that subgenre, there is no series it's explicitly based off of.

Cheat... Well, 'cheat' refers to an ability that a character (aka the protagonist) usually gets in these stories. It's usually something they wouldn't have otherwise. Some classic examples include enhanced parameters, pocket dimensions, bottomless mana, etc;.
Of course, since this is an RP, I'm going to be balancing for that. So... In essence, a 'newcomer' just... Well, starts with benefits so they don't kick the bucket five minutes into the story.

@PKMNB0YAlright alright, thanks. I get it. Will have to think about a cheat, not sure what I'm shooting for yet. Maybe a few, and I'll run them by you.

Are the Newcomers 21st Century people? Before they're taken away?

@Daft Monarch: Yes, assume they come from this era. So, y'know, smartphones, hi-spec PCs, all the other technological nuances that come with that implication, etc;.

@Daft Monarch: Either or works just as well. Let's just keep it PG-13 for the sake of things, though.

Edit: Or at the very least not anywhere near NSFW. I don't think I even need to say this, though. =3=;;

So um... Yeah. ^^; Not so sure about her Cheat so if it doesn't work then I'll try and figure out something else but yeah.

  • Name: Rin
  • Age: Twenty-something. She refuses to be more specific.
  • Appearance: "Hey!" She's a bit on the tall side, too.
  • Personality: A quixotic daydreamer who, despite being rather lazy and unmotivated, is easily fired up by the cause of justice and honestly believes she is destined to become a hero of justice. Not at all coincidentally, she has a noted love for superheroes, tokusatsu and super robot and magical girl anime... To the point that, like the man who inspired the very term "quixotic", she may have lost herself a bit in the fantasy and views the world through a lens blurred by the conventions and philosophies of these forms of media; naturally, she has grown a bit frustrated with the world of her birth due to how little it actually follows these conventions. Putting on an air of hotblooded determination, she opposes the corrupt and champions the oppressed, and would describe herself as "noblebright" with a straight face. Admittedly, she's also a little bit of a pervert, and shows a noted interest in both cute boys and cute girls.
  • Abilities: A veritable font of esoteric and mostly useless knowledge and factoids, backed up by a few years of kung fu training and a love of cooking.
  • Native or Newcomer?: Newcomer
  • Cheat: Weight of the World - The ability to increase or decrease her bodyweight at will without any change in size. She can either make herself lighter and thus more agile, or heavier to allow her to hit harder.
  • History: A casual drifter on the sea of experience... Or to put it another way, a lazy nerd with no direction in life. With no real prospects or goals, Rin spent a good chunk of her life burying herself in fantasy literature, superhero comics, power metal, tokusatsu shows, super robot and magical girl anime... Escapist fantasies built upon mighty heroes fighting vile villains, something she slowly began to see as some kind of ideal to strive towards. And before she could realize it, like the fabled Don Quixote she had lost herself in this ideal, an ideal that didn't really fit the modern world she'd been born into. Oh, if only she could just leave this world and find one that suited her delusions far better...
  • Other: I'll admit she's a very loose self-insert, but there's a lot of differences and I figured that it would fit for something like this anyways so hopefully it comes off a bit less lame than I am worrying it does. ^^;
