Gaela's weary steps led her towards the heart of the village, where the promise of rest beckoned in the form of the Serenity Retreat. The cobblestone path beneath her boots echoed a soft rhythm, a lullaby for the tired wanderer. As she strolled along the docks, the twilight painted the sky.
Amidst the quiet, a subtle movement caught Gaela's attention. A small dragonoid, adorned with scales that shimmered, walked past her. Their eyes met fleetingly (at least she thought they did), and she offered a friendly wave, though unsure if he noticed. To her surprise, he continued in the same direction as her, their paths aligning. Gaela followed the dragonoid through the labyrinthine streets until they reached the Serenity Retreat. The inn's warm glow spilled onto the cobblestones, welcoming tired souls seeking refuge. The sign, adorned with elegant lettering, proclaimed the establishment as not only an inn but also a bar and restaurant.
Turning to the dragonoid with a smile, Gaela greeted him, "Hello there! Seems like we've both found our way to Serenity Retreat." Her eyes gleamed with curiosity, a spark of connection in the vast unknown. However, before he could respond, a distant melody reached their ears—an unmistakable symphony of laughter, clinking glasses, and lively chatter. Gaela tilted her head, catching the distant sounds. "Do you hear that too?" she asked, her voice filled with the infectious excitement of someone ready to embrace the unexpected.
The boat rocked gently with the rhythm of the waves navigating the expanse between the mainland and the mysterious island. Gaela, with eyes wide like a child embarking on a grand adventure, stepped onto the weathered deck as dawn painted the horizon. The boat itself might not have boasted opulence, but in Gaela's eyes, it was a ticket to the unknown. Her fingers traced the frayed edge of a timeworn map clutched tightly in her hands. Every creak of the boat seemed like a melody, a prelude to the symphony of discovery awaiting her. Gaela marveled at the endless expanse of the sea. The scent of salt lingered in the air, filling her lungs with anticipation.
As the sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the water, the outline of the village on the horizon came into view. A cluster of quaint buildings nestled against the backdrop of verdant hills. The girl's heart quickened with the thrill of the unknown, a palpable excitement coursing through her veins. The day had worn on, and now the boat glided into the harbor with a gentle sigh. The village sprawled before her, filled with unfamiliar faces and new possibilities. She stepped onto the wooden pier, her boots echoing against the timeworn boards.
This was no luxurious escapade, but for Gaela, it was a priceless journey into the unexplored. She felt the heartbeat of adventure beneath her skin, and with each step, the village beckoned. The alchemist in her yearned to uncover the hidden alchemy of this foreign land, to distill its essence and weave it into of her own experiences.
Hidden beneath her excitement was a more profound purpose. A clandestine mission that fueled the fire within her. Her eyes concealed a deeper resolve. Gaela's footsteps on the pier echoed. Ranshelm, with its inviting charm, was merely a prelude to the true quest that lay ahead. As the sun dipped below the horizon she set her sights on the looming forest. The tales of the sacred lake hidden within the heart of the dense woodland. A lake said to possess waters infused with an otherworldly spirituality, rumored to hold the key to unlocking the mysteries that ensnared Floyd, her mentor, lost in an inexplicable malady.
Gaela's fingers brushed against the pendant hanging around her neck — a reminder of the urgency that propelled her across the sea. Her steps quickened. The air thickened with ancient energies. The trees seemed to murmur secrets.
Hopefully this was okay. I'd like to try to find someone to guide me in the island. Should I roll any skill checks for this? Maybe find a place to rest, since it's already late and she spent the whole day in the boat.
Personality: Galea Serafin exudes an adventurous and determined personality. Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, she faces challenges with resilience and optimism, even in the midst of the mysteries surrounding her transformation into a Sylph. Her loyalty to her missing master, Loyd Sinister, and compassionate nature guide her interactions, as she seeks not only answers but connections with others. Embracing her altered identity with wonder, Galea's character is marked by a balance of alchemical prowess and an optimistic outlook on her journey of self-discovery. Appearance: Galea Serafin boasts an otherworldly presence marked by her profound fusion with the air elemental essence. Her once ordinary human features have undergone a stunning metamorphosis, showcasing cloud-shaped, snow-white hair that billows around her shoulders. The captivating hues of azure and occasional electric sparks in her eyes hint at the potent elemental power she now embodies. In her well-worn traveling attire, adorned with alchemical symbols that speak of her dedication, Galea's slender form moves gracefully, accompanied by a subtle breeze. This constant whisper of air serves as a reminder of the elemental forces that have become an integral part of her enigmatic existence.
Hey folks! I've been MIA from the forum, but guess who's making a comeback? 🎉 Reviving an old interest check—let the fun begin! 😄
WHAT IF... THERE WERE YOUNG AVENGERS?
"Long ago, there was a vast multiversal war. Countless unique timelines battled each other for supremacy, nearly resulting in the total destruction of, well, everything. But then, the all-knowing Time Keepers emerged, bringing peace by reorganizing the multiverse into a single timeline, the Sacred Timeline. Now the Time Keepers protect and preserve the proper flow of time for everyone and everything."
That was before. Before two variants changed the complete flow of time. An uncontrolled explosion of new realities had formed. Endless possibilities of scenarios. I am The Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and dare to face the unknown, and ponder the question... What if?
The Roleplay
ABOUT: For this Roleplay, I would like to gather a party of 3 to 4 participants, each one playing with one character (if someone shows interest in playing with more than one character I am open to discussion). Characters should preferably be original, but it is possible to choose a canonical Marvel character that has not yet been shown on the MCU. If someone wants to play with any MCU character we can reach an agreement. In this case, this version of the character should have at least significant differences from the main universe of the films.
I'd like the Roleplay to be as collaborative as possible and for me and potential players to define the storyline together, as I'm interested in roleplaying as well. Still, I will act as GM to set initial plots and guide the creation of the Young Avengers group. In addition, characters must be within a specific age range, as implied by the group's name. Even so, we may end up getting into more adult themes, such as violence and romance. Therefore, players must be over 18 years of age and characters must be 22 to 30 years old.
SCENARIO: As you may have already noticed, roleplay will develop in an alternative universe to the MCU. The story will begin shortly after the events of "Captain America: Civil War". In this reality, however, all the Avengers agreed to sign the Sokovia Accords and there was no disbanding of the team. The UN has a special committee to handle the initiative and decided that a branch of the Avengers should be dedicated to recruiting and training young people with superhuman abilities to prevent them from becoming future threats.
Black Widow and Vision were tasked with locating and recruiting possible members of the "Metahuman Training Program". When creating your character sheet, be sure to dedicate yourself to the "Recruiting" section, in which you will describe how you were contacted by the program. We will start the roleplay on the arrival of members at the new program's headquarters.
IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED
The adventure will be divided into chapters. The GM will always make the opening post of each chapter, presenting the general objective of the plot. Players are free to achieve the goal in whatever way they prefer. However, if any player deviates too much and ends up straying from the main goal, the GM will intervene.
Rules:
Be kind: Being respectful with the GM and the other players is a must. If anything is making you uncomfortable, make yourself heard, but always remember that everyone is here to have fun.
Don't overstep: If you think any action you are considering taking affects other characters, ask first. In the OOC area we can define the limits of what is acceptable for each case, but until then, don't anticipate reactions from other players or create situations that leave them without a way out.
Don't be OP: Even though we're playing superheroes (or villains), it's good to have limitations. This is a team that will face threats from street to national level, so your character doesn't need to be able to face a cosmic threat. Also, no god-mode or metagaming.
Be consistent: I'm not expecting you to be a literary genius (neither am I) or to write three posts a day, but I do hope that they are of considerable quality and that there is a certain periodicity. It is expected that each player makes at least 1 post a week. Of course, there will be weeks when that won't be possible, but talk to me and the other players and we'll sort it out. In case any player stays more than 10 days without posting or without notifying their absence, the GM will describe some action for their character that allows the continuation of the plot. Also, if any player disappears for more than 15 days, they will be considered suspended and if they stay for more than 30 days their character will become a permanent NPC.
PS: I know everyone has a life outside of the RP world, and so do I. If for any reason you can't post for some period of time, just send me a message and we'll adjust everything.
APPLICATIONS
If you are interested in playing, you must make an application with a character sheet. Remember that this is a casual to low advanced RP, so be careful with your application sheet. Do not create an OP character as it will not be accepted. At first, 4 players will be accepted. Thus, the 4 players who first have an accepted CS will start the game. I might consider accepting new players in the near future, so you can already register your CS here. Also, if you want to play a character that has already appeared on the MCU, it's likely that your application will take longer to be accepted, so take that into account.

What do you mean by origins? She was born with the power but it didn't really show up until she was about 8.
Oh, I understand Dizzy. But could you describe why she has this power? Normally humans don't have powers, so what gave her those powers? Is it a genetic mutation? Or perhaps the result of a ritual?
@QuinnWolfe I think your CS is pretty much good to go. I'm just going to ask you to fix the image. Oh, and I'm going to add a subplot section, so I need you to add that to your CS too.
@KZOMBI3 Hey, Zombie. Yes, the face claim must be someone who is young (or at least appears to be).
@Mistress Dizzy I think your CS is practically ready. Before approving it, I would just like to suggest that you write a little more about the origins of Origami's powers. Oh, and about the recruiting section, you can choose one of the two. It's your choice. It could also be another minor UN agent. I'll add a new section at the end with smaller plots you'd like your character to develop over the course of the RP. As soon as I update the CS model, I'll let you know.
