You awake in a castle surrounded by clouds. What is this place? How did you get here? You can't remember. The last thing you can recall is falling asleep like you normally do, and now you're here, in this foreign place, with others having the same experience.
There's no leaving. The castle has an outside, a courtyard and a garden, but what space there is quickly drops off into the sky. It's a miniature floating island.
People are starting to disappear. Every night someone else is taken, and there are signs of a struggle, blood. Who brought you here? Who's taking you now? What is this place? And most importantly, how do you stop it?
Welcome to Fragments of Memory! Throwing this out to see if anyone is interested. This is a Kingdom Hearts based RP featuring your original characters. No canons are allowed at this time. You don't need any knowledge of the Kingdom Hearts series to be able to play. Your character can come from any world within or outside of the traditional KH worlds. You will have no equipment, no weapons or items (but you may find some in the castle later on).
In addition to the abilities you choose when creating your character, everyone will be granted special abilities randomly when the RP starts (list below). The RP needs at least one bad guy, maybe two. Please feel free to volunteer to be bad! Keep it a secret, though; you don't want people to know you're the one abducting and/or horribly murdering everyone.
I'd like at least 5 players, no more than 8. If there are more than 5, more vigilante roles will open up. There may also be more than one murderer/abductor, if there's enough interest in playing a bad guy.
Special Abilities Granted by the GM:
Murder/Abduct - (PM me if you want to be a bad guy, this is the only ability that won't be randomly assigned)
Detect - learn the special ability of one character
Protect - choose someone to protect from being murdered
Sense - choose 2 characters, if one of those characters is targeted for murder/abduction, you will get to know about it
Vigilante - keep one character from doing an action
One day is one round. Every round you can choose to use one of these abilities. The action will happen at the beginning of the next round. Round 1: I'mma detect if that guy's been killing us all, yo. Round 2 starts: *GM sends you the answer privately* It's not him, drat.
You can try to convince people which ability you have, but please don't prove it with a screen shot. It's supposed to be a mystery: who's kidnapping/murdering everyone? But if you go ahead and prove beyond all doubt what role was assigned to you, it makes it substantially less fun. Figure it out without cheating, please. :)
Rules
PM me your character sheet.
Murder is only allowed if the player consents to it; otherwise, they're considered abducted.
Every Saturday a new day (new round) will start. PM me your special ability action before then; if you don't, you forfeit your action.
Name: Gender: Age: Optional Race: Appearance: Bad?: If you want to be a murderer/abductor, put "yes" here Abilities: These are whatever you want, but not the special abilities. Pick stuff like, can shoot fireballs, or goes invisible at will, or something. Background: Optional
Cloud comes from the small mountain village of Nibelheim. His father died when he was young, and he was raised by his mother. When Cloud was fourteen he learned of Sephiroth, and idolized him. Inspired to become a hero, Cloud left his hometown to join SOLDIER, but he never made it to that level. He became a Shinra infantryman, and met a first class SOLDIER named Zack. The two became friends, and infiltrated a mako excavation facility together.
At the age of sixteen, Cloud returned to his childhood town along with both Zack and Sephiroth to investigate a damaged mako reactor in the mountains. Tifa acts as their guide. Embarrassed by his lowly infantryman status, rather than being part of SOLDIER like he was aiming for, he hides his identity from Tifa by keeping his face-concealing helmet on. When the group reaches the reactor, Sephiroth discovers Professor Hojo's experiments with Jenova, returns to town and locks himself in Shinra Manor, where he learns more details of the experiments and his involvement in them. Enraged, he destroys Nebelheim, setting the town aflame, and killing Cloud's mother. Cloud confronts and defeats Sephiroth at the reactor, much to Sephiroth's surprise. Both Zack and Cloud are gravely wounded.
Professor Hojo takes the two back to Shinra Manor and makes them into experiments, injecting them with Jenova cells and exposing them to mako. They are deemed failures and left in pods for four years in the basement, when Zack eventually breaks free. He helps Cloud, who has not recovered and is in a vegetative state. After a year of running, Shinra forces catch up to them and kill Zack. Cloud is ignored. Due to the trauma, Cloud's memories are twisted, and he takes on Zack's personality, presenting himself as a former 1st class SOLDIER and mercenary for hire. He has inconsistent memories and periods of blackouts, none of which he remembers.
He joins the group AVALANCHE which ultimately leads to his pursuit of Sephiroth. During a series of adventures, he eventually regains his memories. He meets Aeris and agrees to become her bodyguard in exchange for a date. The AVALANCHE group returns to Nibelheim and discovers the town has been replaced by imposters, to cover up what Sephiroth did. Traveling to the Temple of the Ancients, the group learns of Sephiroth's plan to call Meteor, which would wound the planet, and allow him to absorb energy from the Lifestream, effectively becoming a god. Cloud attempts to attack Sephiroth, but due to the Jenova experiments done to him in the Shinra Manor, he is able to be controlled by Sephiroth. The group has to stop him. When he wakes up, he finds that Aeris is gone. The group follows her to the Forgotten Capital, just in time to see Sephiroth impale her from behind. She dies, and Cloud is crushed.
The group continues to pursue Sephiroth. Cloud ends up falling into the lifestream, where he suffers mako poisoning. Tifa stays with him while the group continues to try to stop Sephiroth and the meteor that is now coming toward the planet. The two fall into the lifestream, where Cloud comes to terms with who he really is. The group returns to the North Crater and confront Sephiroth for the "final" time. They defeat him. Cloud follows him spiritually into the lifestream and defeats him there as well. Aeris was able to cast Holy before she died, which saves the planet from the meteor.
Cloud and Tifa build a life together. He sets up a deliver business, and she runs a bar. Although happy, Cloud still has issues with his past, regrets that he can't shake. They take in an orphan, Denzel, who is suffering from a new disease: Geostigma. It's caused by Sephiroth's presence in the lifestream, polluting it. He was able to survive by a strange connection to Cloud- Cloud's memories of Sephiroth allowed his continued existence.
Cloud looks for a cure for Denzel's Geostigma, and ends up with Geostigma himself due to the Jenova cells within him. Three men gather those infected with Geostigma, hoping they will lead them to Jenova's remains. They have several run ins with Cloud, and are ultimately successful in finding Jenova. Cloud and the others are cured of Geostigma by Lifestream-infused water in the church where Aeris used to pray. The leader of the three, Kadaj, is able to merge with the Jenova remains, which brings Sephiroth back in physical form. Cloud battles him again, and nearly dies, but the thought of his friends and how important they are to him gives him the strength to win. Sephiroth disappears, leaving Kadaj in his place, who subsequently dies.
