Remnants [Cyndyr && Esailia]

Nope, they look good <3

@Esailia

Awesome. I'm ready to start whenever then.

Hey

Welcome to the Guild, Scarlett!

If you have any questions regarding the site or its layout, don't hesitate to ask. If you're looking for PM Roleplays, you might find luck in the 1x1 Section. Hope you find what you're looking for and enjoy the time you spend on here!

Do you create attractive characters?

Different people have different ideas on what is "attractive." When I use text descriptions, I totally don't mention if they're attractive at all, since it's p dumb to do so.

@Surtr

This. My characters are attractive to me, sure, but that doesn't mean they're attractive to other players/characters.

About Me

Hello there, I'm The Artist Formerly Known As Cynder™ or just Cyndyr. I'm a nineteen year old female from Massachusetts in the United States that has been Roleplaying for roughly 8+ years. I've been held hostage on this website since I was thirteen and am quite familiar with these forums, but I'm not always as reliable with Roleplay as I would like to be due to the fact that I struggle to sit still. If that's something that will be a hindrance to you, I totally understand and would advise you to turn back now. If that doesn't bother you and/or you can relate to it, then welcome! We may just have potential to become Roleplay partners.

About My Roleplaying

I don't care about the age and/or gender of my partner as long as they're comfortable with me.
Not interested in writing out sexytimes. Extremely not interested in rape, incest, bestiality, relationship abuse, and fetishes.
I'm perfectly content with writing at any length ("Casual" tends to be my general level of what I write at).
I like for romance to naturally develop in my Roleplays. I'm interested in playing MxF, MxM, and FxF.
I write slow as all hell and may have spotty activity due to a lack of inspiration, my ADD, or the fact that I'm working.
Being the disgusting weaboo that I am, I do prefer to use anime imagery when designing my characters.
I'm comfortable with playing any role and/or gender for my characters.
I prefer to have more than one character.
I would like to have a partner that is interested in plotting and/or talking OOC.

What I'm NOT Looking For

Incest, rape, relationship abuse, bestiality, fetishes, etc.
Anything related to college and/or high school (that doesn't have a unique twist).
Fandoms. There's a rare chance that I may agree to a unique Pokemon, Supernatural, and/or Fire Emblem Roleplay.
Anything focused on superheroes.

What I'm Looking For

I honestly have no idea. I'm open to just about any idea, but here are some genres of interest:
Horror
Historical and/or Alternate Historical (American, Vietnam, Cold War, WWI, WII, etc)
Psychological
Mystery
Dystopian
Slice Of Life (with a twist?)
Open to hearing the pairings that other people are wanting to write as well.

Interested?

Why? If you have an idea and are interested in Roleplaying with me, then I would love to hear it! Feel free to leave me a message here or drop me a PM! I hope to find someone to Roleplay with. Until then, chow!

Remnants [Cyndyr && Esailia]

Sorry, this week has been so buggered up for my sleep schedule that I'm out of whack at the moment. I like it. I might MIGHT change it later, but for now, it fits well.

Before we post, know that I currently don't have any real ideas on how to START the roleplay off, have you thought any up? The original idea doesn't need to be set in stone after all.

@Esailia

Haha, not in the slightest. I imagine that it would start to occur after the Fall of Beacon. Maybe our characters could be fleeing the Vytal festival or something? I could always have one of my characters be injured for extra effect. By the way, are my characters alright? Is there anything you'd want me to fix?

The Vault

Roleplay: Remnants
Level: 1x1
Fate:

Ash Argyris

Ashton Arygris

"And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?"

[+]

Full Name: Ashton Argyris
Nickname(s): Known by most as "Ash".
Alias: None.
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Birthday: March 3rd (Pisces)

Race: Human
Aura/Color: Gray

Semblance's Name: Requiem
Semblance's Description: Allows the user to see memories of the past - including where to reopen old wounds.

Weapon's Name: Osiris
Weapon's Description: Osiris is a highly functional deck of bladed tarot cards with seventy-eight cards in total. Each card is dust-infused with the exact element infused within the cards varying and acting as a "lottery" with random outcomes for every draw. Although Osiris is primarily used to attack opponents via attacks related to dust, the cards may also double as "defensive blade" in close combat and can even be thrown short distances.

Brief Personality && History: An enigmatic and honest individual, Ash has been seen been as "a wanderer" for his entire life. Wandering alone through Vacuo's sands before he could even recall, Ash would be found and adopted by the Adem family, including their only son, Phoenix, who would come to view him as a brother. Although thinking of the family as his own, Ash would often wonder the whereabouts of his missing biological family which would lead him out into the sands yet again. Wiser, older, and much more skilled, Ash would traverse the sands for only a short amount of time before being hunted down by Phoenix who had insisted that the two remain together. Although Ash was hesitant to allow his adopted older brother to tag along, he eventually agreed and the two set off with both wanting to return to their separate homes - and somehow ending up at Shade Academy instead. Although Ash had no objections against having an opportunity to search Vacuo's wastelands while helping others in need, he quickly found himself in deep water after becoming assigned the leader of Team ASPN. While he did choose to isolate himself from others due to a general refusal to talk, the teen would quickly become adjusted to his role and caring for those that followed him. Hopefully this success would become helpful to him after the damage done to Remnant as a result of Cinder Fall's actions. . .

Additional Notes: It has been noted by both his older brother and teammates that Ash has only shown a genuine interest in individuals that drew the infamous "Death" card during a tarot reading.

Soleil Amarillo

Soleil Amarillo

"We'll never grow old again. You'll find us chasing the sun."

[+]

Full Name: Soleil Amarillo
Nickname(s): May sometimes be referred to as "Sol".
Alias: None.
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birthday: July 28th (Leo)

Race: Faunus
Faunus Trait: A pair of reddish-gray coyote ears hidden beneath her hat.
Aura/Color: Yellow

Semblance's Name: Blink
Semblance's Description: Allows the user to teleport short distances in all cardinal directions.

Weapon's Name: Vesper Holly
Weapon's Description: Although Vesper Holly functions perfectly as a multicolored pen in its most basic form, the weapon is also capable of acting as a knife, whip, and even a dart gun. Due to its ability to hold various elements of dust, each dart shot from Vesper Holly can effect a target in a variety of ways from electrocuting, freezing, or even burning them. While in knife, whip, or its 'basic' form (that of a multicolored pen), Vesper Holly is not able to manipulate the dust contained within.

Brief Personality && History: From a young age, Soleil displayed signs of a kind, yet reckless personality that would later cause her to "accidentally" wander onto a ship visiting Menagerie's harbor at the young age of fourteen. Although believed to be missing by family members that had worried about the Faunus girl being kidnapped or sold into slavery, Soleil would find herself overwhelmed with a desire to explore Vacuo's surroundings. Surrounded by harsh conditions, dangerous creatures, and devious individuals, Soleil had many close encounters, but would never lose her optimism or ability to trust others. This would stay true through her years at Shade Academy as well, which was a sloppy decision backed by the belief that finding strong allies would help Soleil succeed in her ambition of exploring much of the uncharted land within Remnant. A sloppy decision, however, would not be one that she would come to regret even if one of her teammates had the constant need to jab at her with a myriad of colorful and racist comments. Finding her teammates to be friends and a strong source of support, Soleil has decided to stay at their sides which will hopefully be a steadfast decision through the destruction of Remnant at the hands of Cinder Fall as well.

Additional Notes: Aside from acting as her weapon of choice, Vesper Holly is also Soleil's tool for her beloved hobby - cartography. Soleil especially enjoys creating maps of locations that she has adventured to, dreams of adventuring to, or is in the process of exploring - these maps, however, are noted to not always be a reliable source of information. Despite being away from home for over five years, Soleil has yet to return which is possibly a decision made out of fear or shame towards her actions - she, however, has often admitted to missing her parents.

Phoenix Adem

Phoenix Adem

"Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground."

[+]

Full Name: Phoenix Adem
Nickname(s): None.
Alias: None.
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: November 27th (Sagittarius)

Race: Human
Aura/Color: Red

Semblance's Name: Inferno
Semblance's Description: Allows the user to light themselves ablaze in order to lessen damage done by opposing forces.

Weapon's Name: Cain and Abel
Weapon's Description: Wrapped around Phoenix's arms by two heavy steel chains, Cain and Abel are a pair of curved twin daggers that can be found at the end of the aforementioned chains. Although Cain and Abel appear as daggers in their most basic form, they are also capable of shooting off rounds akin to what might be found within a pistol-like firearm.

Brief Personality && History: A disinterested and hot-headed individual that hails from a small settlement within the depths of Vacuo's desert, Phoenix shares much of his history with his adopted younger brother and team leader, Ash. Unlike Ash, however, he did not often wonder about his biological's family whereabouts as he was raised by them and his confusion would quickly become frustration on the day that he realized that his younger brother had carelessly ran off. In hopes of dragging him back home for a peaceful life with his family and a chance at following his father's path as a treasure hunter, Phoenix found himself at the gates of Shade Academy instead. He would also find himself partnered with a Faunus. To make matters the worse, he also wouldn't be able to graduate as a result of the world suddenly ending. At least he would still be somewhat useful in the aftermath of Cinder Fall's actions as a result of his general distrust of others.

Additional Information: The reasoning for Phoenix's racism towards the Faunus people is currently unknown to all.

Nyte Garnet

Nyte Garnet

"And if you need a little heat in your face, that’s what I’m here for."

[+]

Full Name: Unknown.
Nickname(s): None.
Alias: Goes by his supposed 'bounty hunter' name, Nyte Garnet.
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: January 1st (Capricorn)

Race: Human
Aura/Color: Black

Semblance's Name: Duplicate
Semblance's Description: Allows the user to temporarily create an identical clone to perform their last known action and mimic future ones.

Weapon's Name: Prometheus
Weapon's Description: Tasked with protecting Nyte's prized laptop, Prometheus is a box-shaped briefcase with sharp edges and the ability to fire shotgun rounds via the case's corners. Unable to take the form of any other weapon, Prometheus may be used to bludgeon, slice, or shoot enemies that are a threat to Nyte or his precious laptop.

Brief Personality && History: Despite hailing from one of Vacuo's largest and most dangerous settlements, Nyte would eventually become known as a reliable and affable source of support for all of those around him. Nyte does not seem to discriminate who to show kindness or his flirty attitude towards whether they be random strangers or his teammates which has often caused those around him to view to him as "a big brother" of sorts. Although Nyte seems to be overall laid-back and friendly, much of his history is shrouded in mystery including his real identity. Whoever he may be, it appears that his teammates have come to trust him and hopefully those that they will encounter in the aftermath of Cinder Fall's actions will choose to as well.

Additional Information: Before Remnant fell as a result of Cinder Fall's actions, Nyte had another prized possession that he would ride about on - his motorcycle, Hellebore. Likely due to his friendly demeanor, it was not uncommon for Nyte to offer free rides to strangers whether to help them reach their destination or only for the sake of his entertainment. Nyte is also known for his incredible technological skills and being prone to crippling headaches that randomly surface.

hi im lotad

Welcome (back?) to the Guild, Lotad!

Hopefully you're able to swing into the hobby of Roleplaying while here, but if you have any questions regarding the website or its layout, then don't hesitate to ask! Otherwise, I hope you find what you're looking for and enjoy the time you spend on here!

Camarilla: The City is Fulluva 'Em!

Leave it to my older brother to bring such a unique Roleplay to the Guild. Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted me to advertise this. I'd like to see you get this Roleplay off of the ground, after all.

Game: "Useless" superpowers

Do you know how much money I could save by eating straight out of people's trash cans?

The power to manipulate glitter.

Flowers of Madness

Are We Living In A Dystopian Reality?

Let me preface this thought by stating that I am American, so these thoughts are geared towards American society and not necessarily the rest of the world. I don't plan on documenting thoughts regarding other countries anytime soon, so you can rest assure that I'm only focusing on my country here. And no, this will not be focused on Donald Trump and/or his administration. Without further ado, here is a debate that I've been internally discussing with myself for a few months now:

I graduated from high school at the beginning of this month and along with it, a course on literature within the dystopian genre. While in the course, I finished four books from trash like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World to classics such as 1984 penned by George Orwell. We also watched the adaption of The Hunger Games, which viewed as a dystopian story and not as a teenage drama romance,
is actually pretty good in my opinion. Of all the novels to hit me the hardest, however, was Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury which follows the plot of a society willingly deciding to outlaw knowledge (by burning books) in replacement of distractions in the form of technology (most presented in the novel was television, but it was written before the time of home computers and smartphones). In the novel, characters have shallow relationships, are immune to common acts of violence, and care little for others, especially those that are "different". Sound familiar?

The thought really hadn't crossed my mind until I was walking home from my last final exam while listening to Allister's album Life Behind Machines that Americans (and perhaps other countries as well) may willingly be living in a dystopian reality. Although we haven't exactly begun burning books, I don't think it's unfair to say that people haven't at least begun to become addicted to technology which has more or less served as a distraction. I'm not speaking for everyone, of course, but I know that I definitely resort to music, YouTube, and cat pictures whenever I'm feeling anxious or overwhelmed instead of paying to (and solving) whatever problem is plaguing me. Based on some of the posts that I've seen online, I wonder if there are others do the same and I would not be surprised in the slightest if there were. For the record, I don't think that these distractions are negative nor do I ever plan on condemning technology as my online friends cared more for me than my own parents did, but I wonder if technology is beginning to overrun conversation. I don't see a problem with texting and messaging my friends, but I do admit that it feels odd to have friends over my house and for all of us to have our heads in our phones instead of acknowledging one another, but again, this may just be an experience of my own.

Moving away from experiences of my own, however, I do find through observation that people have become increasingly unconcerned with acts of violence. It took less than twenty-four hours of the Manchester bombing to see posts about Ariana Grande's show apparently "being the bomb" and "very explosive" to appear. It's only been four years and Sandy Hook has nearly been forgotten about (save for the conspiracists and, of course, those affected by the tragedy). Christina Grimmie, a former YouTube singer and someone that I was subscribed to many years ago, was shot and killed last year with people taking to the internet with debates about gun control instead of acknowledging the murder of an innocent individual who was only a few years older than myself. In the example of the Orlando Night Club shooting, there was an argument of whether or not the shooter was a terrorist or simply a "troubled individual" instead of paying attention to the forty-nine people that were just killed. I myself have struggled to find empathy towards these situations due to how much violence and crime I've witnessed both on television and in my own life. When did society become so desensitized? When did I become so desensitized? I only have to wonder.

Loathe as I may to admit for such a pile of trash there are points made by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World that could ring true for American society as well. With the rise of "smart TVs" being able to listen to conversations while turned off, the rise of fake news, and alteration of language as a mean to control - hang on here! I'm getting too close to politics! Let it be known that I'm not pointing fingers at any one individual and/or party since quite a few people are guilty of this. Whew. Carry on. Anyway, with all of the previously mentioned examples in mind, it seems that an "Orwellian nightmare" may already be according, but not nearly to the extent of the grey world seen by Winston Smith. Perhaps Suzanne Collins may also had a few points to make as she also touches upon desensitization for others in The Hunger Games as well as the absurdity of reality television. I also observed The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, but I would be hard pressed to ever make any argument regarding the validity of that cringy novel.

And those are only some of my thoughts. I could rant on regarding my thoughts on this topic for hours, but I don't think that anyone would be interested in reading that. Or this for that matter, but at the moment, I just really felt like placing this somewhere. Maybe it could serve as a discussion, thoughts for a Roleplay, or simply a way to improve my writing in the slightest bit. Either way, if you actually read this - I commend you and I want to know, if there's anyone out there that actually read this - what are your thoughts? I'd love to hear them.

Until next time, The Artist Formerly Known As Cynder is out.
