Hello to everyone!

I'm going to add one more rule now. This should be the last one I need to add for a while. It will be added into the OOC as well:

IC posting rate: Never post twice in a row; instead, you can edit in new info if no one else has posted yet. Wait till at least four others have posted since your last post OR till three days have past since your last post before you make another.

Any questions?
Thanks Again!

@Balthazar007 Omg I didn't even see the OOC. I completely forgot about this. I'm very sorry Xd. I'll make a character today or tomorrow

[The One]

@Balthazar007 The indigo ring controls the dead, does this include spirits, aka ghosts and darkness?

Oke! Gotcha.

For the matter, I'm working on my post right about now. Time to put some law & order in the city.

@The One

Yes, but the longer something/someone has been dead and the more powerful it was when living, the more difficult it will be to bring them back and to control. Here in the beginning, all our rings only show whispers of power. So controlling a spirit or even a recently dead rat is out of the question for now.

[Balthazar007]

Haha! I just added a theme song from youtube to the Oth post in the IC tab. I like it! It's fun reading with it in the background.

Thanks @Valkan, I got the idea from your character sheet. I remember how much fun it added to reading your biography with the music playing in the background.

No problem! Excellent choice, by the way. Exceptionally fitting.

I myself can't write something without having music or something that adds to the scene. Like rainymood in rainy scenes as an easy example. xD

[rawkhawk64]

I'll have a char worked out tomorrow. Life has been busy the past few days for me, otherwise I'd already have it done.

@Balthazar007 What's the age limit? I was thinking of having someone with the inability to age and go through puberty.

@The One

There are no age limits. He/she can be as young or old as you want them to be.

And I guess your ring could grant you the ability to not age, as you can absorb life force from others to stay young, but the way you made it sound is the character has that ability without the ring. That wouldn't be correct. The only magic in this RP comes from the rings. But I would like to assume that's what you meant in the first place.

Character Sheet

Name: Rika Harmony of Azrovak
Age: 13
Gender: Male (Androgynous)
Occupation: Monk
Ring: Indigo

Appearance:


Personality: Rika is completely neutral. He is in perfect balance with everything he does. Rika cannot physically talk and is completely mute nor does he use sign language because of this it can be hard to have a conversation with him however he is incredibly smart and understanding. He likes to analyse everything around him. Rika is a friendly and wouldn't hurt a fly. He never gets angry no matter what you do to him, keeping perfect calm throughout all situations. The downside to him is that he can find it difficult to make friends. Rika is a sociopath, having no empathy or feeling no guilt for the actions or mistakes he has made. He is unafraid in most situations and stays quiet at all times. Nor does he have any remorse or shame even in extreme situations.

Biography: Rika was born completely speechless. He could not physically speak, it was impossible for him. No matter how much his mother tried he stayed completely silent. Her son was a mute. It was at age sven that she took Rika to a temple mountain where some monks explained that they. According to the ancient monks Rika would never be able to speak. There was nothing they could do for him for it wasn't his unwillingness to speak but his inability to speak They said that if Rika wished to stay and was allowed to stay without the guidence of his mother, the monks would teach Rika the ways of the monks. After some reluctants Rika's mother eventually agreed.

It was then that Rika began to grow up with the Monks who were called the Monks of Perfect Balance. They taught Rika how to keep himself in perfect harmony and balance. This alone took him until he was twelve years old to fully learn. When he did finally learn the monks tried to teach Rika sign language however Rika was just not interested in sign language. He didn't bother to learn, and wasn't interested in conversations. As he grew up, they learned that he was a borderline Sociopath. Rika then stayed with the monks for the next year until he was thirteen of age, keeping in perfect balance and harmony. He became known as the Silent Youth.

At times, Rika wrote notes for the monks and leave it for them to see whenever he needed something or was visiting the world beyond. Rika was mostly very independant and often didn't seek the advice or help from his fellow monks. During his stay at the temple, the monks decided to give Rika one final test. They gave him an indigo ring and told him that they themselves did not understand it's power or how to use it and they wondered if he could figure out the mysterious ring. It took him all but two days to figure out how to use it's power. The ring allowed him to slightly control darkness. He was even able to see spirits of the dead while having it on. Of course, all this came after a whole day of wearing the ring. So Rika showed the monks it's power, even if it were weak and little. They told him he could keep the ring asa reward for figuring out it's use.

@Balthazar007 How's that?

[Balthazar007]

@Balthazar007 How's that?

@The One

Everything was fine except the mentioning of the IQ test. You can allude to something akin to an IQ test, but the IQ test and IQ score as we know it was created in the early 1900's. That's more than 1000 years into the future of this RP. If you fix this, I will approve your character sheet.

[The One]

@Balthazar007 Fixed.

I'm curious, would the ring give him any telepathic abilities?

[Balthazar007]

...

@The One

Unless your counting his ability to communicate with the dead due to the ring, no.

Also, don't try and push your character as "the one ring user that quickly masters his ring's powers". To keep the playing field level, only tiny glimpses of power can be witnessed here in the opening pages.

[The One]

@Balthazar007 That's fine no problem with that. Rika won't be using his power for the first few posts unless he needs to. Who else are we waiting for? Three others right?

[Balthazar007]

... Who else are we waiting for? Three others right?

@The One

Actually, there are four members that have not created a character sheet yet:
@Akayaofthemoon@rawkhawk64@quietkid13@MonkeyBusiness

But that doesn't mean we are 'waiting' for them. Three people have already started posting in the IC world, including myself. You are welcome to make your first post as soon as you like.

[The One]

Ok, cool. Do you know when they'll make a character? Since all the rings are needed to continue.

@The One

A few of them have said they will have something up soon. But there is actually no need for all the rings to be in play for things to continue. I'll push the timeline forward whenever I see fit, whenever the situation calls for it. If we are still missing character(s), it's okay. They will just have to write with their character being a little bit behind the rest of us, power wise.
