NOTE: To avoid some of the issues with my past RPs from repeating themselves, I want to say right out of the gate that my tolerance for poor writing, plotholes, and ignorance of established lore has diminished considerably in recent years. Because of that, I am only looking for co-writers who take their craft seriously, who proofread their posts to ensure there are no plotholes, and who respect what has already been established in previous posts. If you're not sure about something, feel free to PM me to double-check before you post, and if I do notice something that falls through the cracks and I ask you to make edits, please don't take it personally.
This idea centers around a group of college students at Darbin University on modern day Earth who are attending the school's 30th Annual Talent Show. A contestant takes the stage holding a strange device, and one of my main characters recognizes the man as his mentor, Dr. Alvin Undergast. He is then horrified when the doctor gives a sinister grin and activates his prototype wormhole generator, which creates a massive portal and sucks our characters in. They are flung across the universe through a tunnel of light as Undergast shrieks in joy that they are the world's first interstellar travelers.
They arrive on a strange planet in a distant galaxy, and much to their horror, the doctor's device malfunctions and leaves them trapped there. They go on a series of adventures around this new world in search of the materials needed to repair the device and get home, but in doing so, they uncover a secret underground tomb with a magic crystal that grants them all special powers. The crystal then speaks into their minds, revealing she is a Soul Shard of the cosmic goddess Muatoya, and asks them to be her Luminaries, to spread her light to those in darkness, and to help her seek out the other Soul Shards scattered about this galaxy.
I am going to play a total of four characters:
Dr. Alvin Undergast - The initial antagonist of the story. His dialogue color is Fire Brick. He corrupts and fuses with a different Soul Shard, granting him a variety of powers.
Edward "Eddie" McMalley - Undergast's intern and a young prodigy. His dialogue color is Dodger Blue. His powers center around speed and electricity, similar to Sonic the Hedgehog or the Flash.
Kari Suzuki - A punk rocker girl and artist. Her dialogue color is Lime Green. She has enhanced strength and stamina and the ability to channel green energy to fire as blasts or solidify into melee weapons.
Muatoya - The Soul Shard that grants their powers. Her dialogue color is Medium Purple.
Anyone interested?
