The ancient world interest check (modern-fantasy post-apocalypse)

[VarionusNW]

What if magic and mythical creatures really existed thousands of years ago? what if it all just vanished? what if it still existed in a separate world from ours?

In this RP we will explore what would happen if the magic world and our world collided and molded together. Not just connecting our cities to theirs, but overlapping them, destroying countless buildings in a single catastrophic event that brings magic to the modern world.

It's a simple idea, a modern-fantasy post-apocalypse in which we must survive, but I want to try for some massive world building. What does New York look like? what happens to the government? and other questions and ideas.

this is all I have so far, so any ideas, comments, or interest is appreciated.

Double bump

[DiamondBlizzard]

Bump, I'm interested. Will PvP be allowed? Also what's the battle system in use?

[bears]

I bump as well~

PVP will be allowed, but, obviously, you won't be able to kill a character without the owner's permission.

We are just going to be using the normal "system" that all RPs with a combat element that are not Tabletop RPs (and are not as battle focused as Arena) use, the one that isn't really a system, because your just writing out how your character does the attack, and then your opponent counters in some way. If you want something more in-depth, go ahead and suggest it.

Though, while I did think about combat, this RP will be more survival and world building focused, I mean, your in a half magic wasteland covered in ruined building and structures of cultures that existed separate from each other.

SUGGEST THINGS. The purpose of this Int. Check is to gather interest and suggestions so that I can create an OOC in the best area that will interest a lot of people.

[JELDare]

Will we be able to have some sort of affinity for magic?

[DiamondBlizzard]

Well I expected as much, the opponent picks if the attack hits them, they dodge, or counter, the thing is I find a way to make undodgable hits, that's the thing. So I can't kill without the character's owner permission but I can attack I'm guessing...alright.

Well undodgable hits shouldn't be a thing, but at most there would be circumstances were the battle is in one players favor (Say one has a shotgun with a few shells, and the other can shoot fireballs out of their hand, who has the advantage? fireball guy of course) So yea, you can attack without a owner's permission, but I highly dislike the idea of an attack you have no chance to block/dodge, or at least recover from.

Jel, magic would exist among non-human characters (the races possible will be up to suggestion), and yes, you can play a non-human character.

If worlds collided buildings would appear inside buildings n cool stuff

Actually it is a thing, it's not even being OP. It's just using logical attacks and counters against the opponent, which allows them to not be able to do anythign.

Like a firebolt will destroy a frostbolt.

[DiamondBlizzard]

It'd explode in mid-air, not an autohit.

As far as characters go, what did you have in mind? Just humans or humans and fantasy creatures? Other races?

Yea, I did have the idea that when the worlds collided, one of them contained humans and the other contained all your fantasy races/creatures along with any suggested creatures that seem cool enough to add.

[JELDare]

Can we suggest races here?

[VarionusNW]

You can suggest anything. Again, this Int Check is mainly so i can get suggestions for the RP.

My 2 cents:
Presumably the geography wouldn't have developed the same in both universes. So like, a magical city might pop up in a tract of corn fields in Kansas.

Races with magic wouldn't have had the same motivation to develop technology, so we might have technological abilities that are as mind-blowing to them as their magic is to us. Or they might find some of it really horrifying, like large scale farms with cows on milking machines would seem like bizarre alien stuff to them.
