“With everything that has happened to you up to this moment, with everything that you have experienced... can you give me an honest answer and say that you love or hate the world that you live in? And if you could have the option to escape it in an instant... would you wish for the opportunity to go back to it or live in the fantasy that was given to you?”
As the voice echoes into your head, cradling you as you fall into a deep slumber, you soon find yourself opening your eyes and waking up in a land unlike anything you have seen before... and you realize, that you are definitely no longer in your room.
"These are the first words that must be answered if you are to take your first steps into this adventure that I ask of you. If you love it, truly, truly love the world that you come from then you must take a step back and figure out why is it that you cannot hate it despite all that there is wrong with your world. I have seen your people fight, rape, and kill one another... I have seen the racism and the hatred... I have seen the violent outbursts and constant rage that comes from your kind... but if for some reason you can still love it and choose to go back, then I will give you that option once you have done me a favor of great importance. However as a being of contradiction and balance I must also ask of thee something else; if you hate it, why can’t you love it? If, despite all the opportunities given to you since the moment of your birth and the chances you have had to change, why is it that you can still find a reason to hate? Why is it that you can not forgive those around you and simply love them? What is it that you hate so much with the world?"
"I ask these things because it is my duty to and because whatever it is you feel towards your planet... yourself... and however it is you may act from hence forth it will shape you into the person you will need to be as you adventure into this world… MY world. Do be warned, however, that your feelings and your emotions can make a vast difference here in my world whether you want it to or not."
"For example, your anger and your rage can turn you into something you despise but what you crave... while your calm and love can bring you something else. These are but simple examples after all, nothing more and nothing less. Whether you listen or heed these examples or warnings are up to you."
"Now, you may be wondering, why exactly is it you are here? That is something I can explain with ease. Who I am can be explained another time, but here… in the land of Kite where dreams and fantasies come true by a simple whisk of one's hand, my people are in grave danger. I have allowed many from your world to enter mine in order to save not only this world, but yours as well because something has broken free. If it is not stopped, then both of our worlds will be destroyed."
The voice in your head finishes speaking for a bit, only to cough as if clearing its throat, although, it seems rather pointless why a voice in your head would be clearing its throat.
"Adjust yourself to this world and meet up with the others in the village nearby and do please stay on the roads as to avoid dangers living nearby. While it is true that you are my responsibility since I have brought you here without much of a single warning, I do not wish want to be responsible for your deaths so soon without having the chance to meet you all."
...and just like that, you're left to your fates in the mystical land of Kite.

Kite, The Realm Within One's Heart
Welcome to the mythical land of Kite, a land ruled by a plethora of different races that you will undoubtedly come across as you explore this land in your adventures!
In this RP, you will be playing as a person from the human world (our world) who has been transported to the world of Kite via a special means that will be mentioned in-game by a very powerful individual who has requested our help. Your character's powers will be through your character's own personality and how they view and have acted in their world own world:
Now, what this means is that YOU yourself are entitled of creating your own character, but it also means that they wont be very strong entering the world of Kite. They will be strong and be able to perform some pretty cool things based upon their mentality and what not. If someone was a thief their life, they may be adept to shadows, if someone was athletic they may be a good runner, if someone was an artist they may be able to summon things, etc... but those are only what they were able to do based on their real life skills. Now, there will also be people who could do those same things but at a lesser level if they have desired that power. Say that someone wanted to be stronger to protect someone else, but didn't have the strength to... well, in Kite, it makes dreams and fantasies real, and would grant that person more strength!
This is the gift that Kite grants; the power of 'belief' and 'bringing things into reality'. What you couldn't do before you can do here in Kite, but it is of course limited, and each playable character starts off with a central theme, however, once the RP gets started you will be free to adapt and branch out from this central theme and expand your powers freely. (Say you start off being a master swordsman, and you later want to dwell into magic, you will be more than happy to; the same could be said for a creature summoner or someone with a bow and arrow etc.)
Like a said, the only limitations are the ones that you give for yourself in this RP, however there will of course be limits starting fof for simplicity sake.
Anyway, there will also be be things that will be touched upon in this setting that may be disturbing to others, despite it being a high fantasy setting. I also know how some players can get in such settings and I would like people who are prepared for this kind of stuff and know what they are getting into.
Basically folks, in this RP I'm going to be making sure that people actually feel some emotion towards their characters and have them put through some stuff with actual character development instead of being a blunt character. This means that there wont be anything such as plot armor or dodge for days kind of stuff, everyone here will be on the same playing field.
This is an RP that I will invest my time into heavily, and you can expect me to be focusing on this one a lot. This doesn't mean I wont abandon my other RPs, just giving a heads up that I'm going to be extremely aware of this one and GM-savy!
Another thing before introducing the sign-ups is that any diseases, illnesses, or disabilities that your characters had before entering Kite are automatically gone upon entering it. So, for example if you had a missing limb, cancer, diabetes, HIV, a tumor, or were stuck to a wheel chair, well, you would find the limb suddenly regrowing and your disease halted along with your strength coming back to you suddenly. While it would be a shocking, and probably traumatizing experience to your character initially, it might also be yet another reason why your character may want to stay in Kite; disabilities they once had would become no more, but once they leave the world of Kite they would have them once again. Just a heads up in case you want to make an interesting character is all
Anyway, here are the Sign-Ups for those who are interested!
- Name: What is it that we should call you?
- Age: So, how old are ya?
- Sex: Male, or female?
- Appearance: Might as well show or tell us what you look like. To be truthful, I'd like to see what you can do by describing yourself, but a picture is fine too!
- Personality: Tell me, just what kind of person are you?
- Background: I'd like to know a little bit more about yourself and know just why kind of life you used to live... we are going to have to get along after all.
- Powers: The powers you were gifted upon being brought into Kite. These will be your bread and butter for now, and they will be your means of survival. I’m curious as to what you can do! Now tell me, what is it that you can do? Manipulation over magic? Can you summon things? Talk to and control animals? Bend your bones and contort your body? Are you capable of flight? Tell me. The possibilities are only limited only by your imagination... but remember, you are but a newborn chick compared to the masters who have been living decades upon decades here. Compared to them your powers are but basic gifts... so don't get too carried way or overconfident, okay?
- Personal Motive: This is where I want to learn what makes you, well, tick. What exactly is it that you are working so hard towards? Is it actually to go back home, or perhaps you are actually wanting to stay here in the land of Kite? Perhaps you have no intention of going home? Perhaps you intend to make a name for yourself in this mystical land, make a family, or even conquer it for yourself? What do you want to do human?
- Mementos: Now for the most important thing of all... your most prized possession. What small things were brought with you as mementos from the world from whence you came? Everyone is limited to two small things at the most, and these things are usually worth nothing to the people of Kite and others; the kicker is that they are important to you and you alone. How are they important to you or why you keep them close? Well, I’ll leave that entirely up to you.
With that, I'll leave you all to create your characters... and welcome, to the mystical World of Kite.
(Copy and pasted... Don't judge me, okay. I really didn't feel like rewriting all of this. ;-;)
