[OOC] Aurora, The Land of Twilight and Falsities

[WaddleDaisy]

Ever been so bored that you made a group photo?

@SilverDawn

I'm guessing Mana is the one in the green next to Filip,
Sweet picture as well c:

@Gnar The Missing Link What kind of weapons are available? Guns, exotic custom? What kind of characters? Le average joes/brutes only mostly? I am /very/ interested in this RP and would love to make a character.

I just need the nitty gritty details of what is acceptable or not.

@Shikaru

Basically... the weapons can be whatever you want as can the powers, honestly.

You could have someone with a summoned familiar that fights for you, someone who fights with a gun and a sword, someone who fights with a shield and a lance or an axe... Maybe you would prefer to be a mage who casts fire, lightning, or even ice- or someone who is capable of morphing metal to their will?

Perhaps you want to take inspiration from your favorite anime or movie, and would like to be someone who could jump/teleport from location to location or something like phasing through objects.

As for what type of character you want to have? Again, that's up to you. Average joe, brutes, tall and skinny, nerdy, snobs, somewhat overweight, to full blown sumo-size... your character can be however you want them to be.

The only limitation is as long as the powers and weapons are something I deem reasonable (such as not being overly realm-breaking or straight out inappropriate), and as long as the character is appropriate as well.

[Shikaru]

@Gnar The Missing Link Nice. I'll tap up a CS then(yay for phones). Pic will have to come tommorrow tho.

[MonkeyBusiness]

@SilverDawn

Naturally Filip is in front as he shall become the ruler of Aurora in due time.

[Shikaru]

Name: Erich Cline

Sex: Male

Age: 45

Appearance: Erich looks aged well beyond his years, scars line his face from his many fights through-out his life. A rough over-all appearace. He has dark silver hair that juts out over his face and blue eyes.

His bracer covers the entireity of his right forearm. He wears a white tank top, lab-coat, loose grey pants, and tennis shoes.

Ethnic: American

Personality: Certifiable. During his days on Earth he was a crazed inventor, inventing weapons of advanced mass destruction.

Background/History: Ever since he was a kid it was quite clear he wasn't normal or even sane. He would get into fights over the smallest of things, some things that didn't even happen.

At the age of 16 he was committed to a psych ward after beating several of his classmates to near death and killing one after his 'invisible' friend named John was insulted.

Of course, insane does not immediately mean he was stupid. He recognized his mistakes, and kept things to a minimum. He showed massive improvement with therapy, or so he'd have you believe. At age 30 he was released, at age 34 he began his conquest of invention.

Some failed, some quite literally exploded in his face. Others excelled.
His first highly successful invention he finished was his laptop.

Think Alienware 2.0. His laptop, which he dubbed John over his 'invisible friend' housed an insane amount of processing power to aide in his work.

During his inventing he was suddenly sucked away to Aurora, but not before finishing his latest weapon design...which didn't survive the trip. Luckily he had the design.

In this strange new world his powers were only enhanced further, and he could feel them growing more as time progressed...

Goals: A hostile takeover after backstabbing literally everyone of course.

Powers:

Techomancer: Akin to his already superior intelligence he found shortly after arrving he could bend the primitive machinery and parts to his will. Creating weapons, machinery, and ammunition with sufficient ease. This ability is also what allows him to keep his laptop powered and his machinery powered. No batteries required.

Technolord(Locked): His power grows...he is now able to make the most complicated and powerful designs out of the most simple and pitiful scraps he can find, able to hack into a Scion's mainframe for a short time after a short process of waiting and take control over them for a while.

You think it, he makes it.

Gear:

[John]

His first successful invention, his laptop John. Nigh indestructible and housing a insane amount of processing power. It holds all of his designs and aides him in making and creating more quickly.

[Ryfle]

A custom made high powered rifle, able to use most anything ammunition. It was also the invention he was holding prior to his...all expenses paid vacation.

Now simply a design until he can re-build it.

[1x Apple juice pouch]

In one of the pockets in his lab coat, almost got smashed. Probably going sour..

Afforementioned clothes, see appearance.

[Zombehs]

Actually, fuck it. The GM can point out what's wrong.

[Shikaru]

@Zombehs@Gnar The Missing Link

By all means, criticise away. I'm under the assumption technology and such exsists in Aurora and everything isn't all crossbows and swords and the horses and the dragons and the fireballs.

He said almost any powers were allowed and weapons, so, *shrug*. I'm open to changes.

[Zombehs]

Magic-tech bracelet from a modern day world. Mad scientist being allowed to freely create dangerous inventions after a dubious release from prison.

Certifiable personality. Wat?

[Shikaru]

@Zombehs It's not a magic tech bracelet. Allow me to elaborate. It was fully technological until he stepped into Aurora, his newfound power for an affinity with machines is linked to the bracer and is what powers the bracer. The bracer in turn feeds electricity to machinery.

Who said he was freely allowed? Such a thing as going into hiding, fake names, aliases, and etcetra are a thing. Stranger things have happened.

Certifiable is often coined to mean psychotic/mentally un-stable, also.

You're thinking to much inside the pesky box, think outside of it.

[Zombehs]

There's thinking outside the box and then jumping straight off the suspension bridge of disbelief. But whatever, GM's opinion is ultimately what matters, so I'll cease and desist here.

[Gnar The Missing Link]

@Shikaru

Alrighty, Zombehs's concerns are actually pretty much my own concerns.

Our characters come from an Earth that is pretty much the same as ours, perhaps slightly different and what not- but tech wise, everything is roughly the same.

Having a deranged or psychotic character is fine, or a mentally unstable one- just as long as you're able to play them properly and it doesn't cause trouble for the others.

Being a technomancer or someone who creates stuff via technology- Alright, that's also pretty good and works fine as well. Matches the crazy scientist theme, so again, that's fine.

Now, comes to the problem: both the bracer and the gun.

Neither of these will suffice, since the technological advances of the Earth that everyone comes from is similar to our own, and because it honestly doesn't really sit well with me since everyone else has rather sublime and simple equipment starting off. Everyone is basically relying on their powers to survive here, not what they brought with them from the other world, and having someone starting off with superior advanced tech who came from the same world as them would shift the balance of things. Basically, its a power and balancing issue.

Although, if you wanted to spend time during the actual RP and slowly build those items up from scratch using his new found powers, now that's a whole different story and would actually be acceptable, since both the gun and the bracer would start off simple, but gradually get stronger as he makes improvements upon them.

If you're going for a mad scientist in another world idea; then I would heavily suggest removing the bracer and gun, tone down Technomancer so that he can easily make inventions, and then build upon the bracer/gun/any other ideas you may have.

Our characters are starting off small, and gradually get stronger and more 'heroic' and legendary so to speak.

Everyone should try to keep this in mind as an idea as how their powers will be growing.

[Shikaru]

@Gnar The Missing Link

I see your point. I can remove the gun, however, the bracer is really more or less a iPad mini type thing with highly advanced processors. Think super computer. It's only real abilities is as listed, provides power to machinery and helps process designs and such faster than anyone could.

it can also play angry birds with 0 lag and unlock all teh IAP's
I do see your point on the gun though, perhaps a pistol? Or hell he could just make a gun himself.

@Shikaru

You could just bring a laptop or something with you instead, and just make it more advanced while in Aurora through upgrades if it's just a computer so to speak.

Eventually, you could just develop the bracer while in Aurora since it does count as an invention.

The problem is just this: The Bracer simply wouldn't exist in Earth because of the lack of technological advances, and because of the limited availability of resources for the common people- especially an insane person. He just wouldn't be able to make it. In Aurora? Yeah, he could. It's a fresh start with countless resources and possibilities, plus he has his powers.

@Gnar The Missing Link

Not to mention the Patron god of the humans is the God of Technology.

[Card Captor]

@daltar@Grey Star@Ashifili@Damiann47@ImNotADamnRobot

All of the characters are happily accepted! Nicely done everyone!

Also, @SilverDawn, that picture is being put up on the OP because I love it. Woolie- I mean, Arimax being framed up, and Tamaki's gigantic head in the background especially made me laugh.

---

Important Notice:

Since things seem to be getting rather full and are still active, I'll only be accepting maybe a couple or more sign ups at the very most as I start writing up the OP. Doesn't mean I will stop accepting sign-ups, it just means I wont be accepting anymore initially just so that the ball gets rolling for people.

For the most part, everyone will be split up into random small groups unless you all would like to be summoned with someone in particular and I have given the A-Okay. Maximum number per group will be THREE, unless specific events call for more per groups.

Make sure to go ahead and post your character in the Characters tab if it has already been accepted, and to let me know if there is anyone you guys would like to get paired off with.

@Gnar The Missing Link

Daisy and I agreed to have our characters team up. So if they could be summoned together, that would be great

[Guilty Spark]

Ever been so bored that you made a group photo?

<snip>

@SilverDawn

I'd like this more if I was in it <_<

Edit: Found myself, and Zombehs. Zombehs' placement was pretty cool... Glaive is a scarf.

[Gnar The Missing Link]

@Card Captor

That's perfectly fine. I'll be sure to make sure they're together.

The opening post is in the works and wont be up for a while (give or take this afternoon), so everyone has quite some time to pair up into their Trio groups.

Edit: Opening Post is mostly done; just waiting on everyone to pair up so I can write everyone's starting scenarios.

[Guilty Spark]

@Gnar The Missing Link Do you mind if I work on a new character? I think the one I have was put together a little too quickly and I have a better idea.

[Gnar The Missing Link]

@Guilty Spark

Hmm... Well, I think I'll only be limiting only one character per player to play as... for now. Considering we have a lot of players.

So, if you do make a new character, you'll have to choose one or the other to play as starting off, but if you're fine with that, then go ahead.

[Anderiel]

So much activity, anyways, Mabel is up for team adoption.
She might be a little anti-social, but her power is pretty cool.

* No edgelords.
* No psychopaths.

Everyone else is applicable.
