I can see Korie being a really, really sexually confusing sensei figure.
Korie simply watched as both Ritsu and Lorenzo made their way out of the room and as the others started to begin arguing among one another. A sigh was all that could be produced from them as they promptly made their way to a nearby machine and flashed a card of some sort across it. Punching in a few numbers, the machine made a few unnatural noises before a plastic covered sandwich emerged from it; a vending machine. Taking out the sandwich and flashing their unique card again before punching in a few more numbers until two warm canisters that was labelled ‘coffee’ plopped out from where the sandwich came from. Not paying mind to the others Korie took a seat and immediately began unwrapping the sandwich before biting into it in a dignified manner.

“I’ll be sure to take that information and that arrogance of yours into account as I defeat you in the upcoming battle,” spoke Korie as they smiled a bit upon taking a sip from their coffee. “While it is true that we are all on the same team right now... we are all aiming for the goal of Squad Leader… something that I think neither you, Antwon, nor Elora here could handle based upon what I have just seen from your actions. We are fighting the Cruxi, an overwhelming race that has humanity backed into a corner and yet there are people here that are trying to get all the answers like they have earned them already.” It was clear that specific remark was directed at Antwon. Biting into their sandwich again and swallowing, Korie continued this time in a much softer voice, “Sorry for my rudeness, I didn’t mean to offend or interrupt anything, I was just talking aloud. Oh, I have forgotten to introduce myself; my name is Korie, Korie Ridley and I was born and raised for the most part on Earth until recently for the obvious reasons of working with you all.”

Giving off a warm smile, Korie drank some more coffee before tilting and looking off in some random direction. “I believe my Aester is still being tuned… You have all probably seen it as the White Framework on our way here as we passed the hangar, yes? Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing how your Frameworks fare in comparison to it.” Confidence; for some reason that was what was coming from this person who was both calm and collected with no signs of shaking of having any of pumping adrenaline that Ian was having.

After a short moment, Korie looked to their side and gazed at Takeo, remembering why they got another coffee. "Almost forgot, here. Thirsty?" They handed Takeo the can of warm coffee, simply staring at them while munching on their sandwich.
@CannedBread

Accepted, although I can't see his appearance (might just be my computer or a bug, I don't know) and I'd like more details pertaining to his powers. Does it work on inanimate and animate objects, must he be conscious of them, etc. Other than that, I think it's fine.

@McFazzer@LetterA

Both are accepted!

@Treepuncher121

Alright, you solved the memento problem but... his power is still basically the same. I honestly think you should give him a new power altogether since that social power can be pretty weird and I'd just be comfortable with him having a new one.

Edit: OP Will be up later tonight/Early Morning. Be prepared for adventuring.
Sorry for the late reply, been a bit sick. As for who will be squad leader... well, read the OP I just posted!
  • Name: Korie Ridley
  • Appearance:
  • Age: 16
  • Personality: Korie is an interesting individual, coming off as a kind person and putting everyone before them. They’re someone who follows orders without question but at the same time only if it is what they believe to be best for humanity. Telling lies is something that they would do if it means to protect and keep people safe, and if Korie would have to kill the few to save the many then they would do so. In the field of battle, Korie is calm and collected, keeping a level head even through the toughest of situations… but sometimes, sometimes they question if they truly are fighting for all these other people, or if deep down they are just wanting to fight for themselves.
  • Motive to live: To be honest, Korie doesn’t have much of a reason except for the orders given to them. They just want to live and survive and see the next day… to see the sun and breathe the air again. To have a chance to continue dreaming.
  • Background: Korie comes from mother Earth, and raised from birth to be a soldier by parents who aimed to create a child who would be ‘perfect’. Korie was their prize, something to be cherished and taken care of. Homeschooled and given regularly tests on a daily basis, this was their child’s life for years. To Korie, however, life was incomplete; everyday was another unhappy lecture or rudimentary test… the same old, same old… everything was the same. Until Korie’s mother was killed in a lab explosion. After the incident, Korie’s father began to perform even more tests on his own as he abandoned his child to the military. Years passed and Korie was taken into the Framewerk units.
  • Notable Deaths: Korie’s Mother… Not much is known about their father or even if they are still alive or not.
  • Other things: Prefers to keep gender hidden. Good luck getting to know them.


  • Framewerk Code Name: Aester
  • Appearance:
  • Signature Weapon System: Aester’s weapon is its ability to cause enormous vibrations throughout its body and focus it towards a single focus point to cause severe damage by using the pendulums that are hidden in its arms, shoulders, chest, and legs. While the limbs are well armored as a result, the joints are not, allowing flexible maneuverability for Aesther; a Jack-of-trades of sort.
  • Secondary Weapon System: Aesther has retractable stakes underneath its arms and legs that allow it to pierce and stick to large foes, or to hold its ground if it needs to unleash a large shockwave to collapse the nearby surroundings (for example a canyon pass) , or if it just needs an immediate weapon.
  • Flight-Capability/Thrusters: Korie’s Framewerk has built-in thrusters that are fairly normal and capable of decent flight and space travel if necessary, but for the most part it maneuvers like a normal Framewerk.
  • Special Ability: Blank.


Everything was finally in place… those who were chosen for the project have all finally assembled.

“It’s so good to have fresh cadets… especially those who hold have such great potential, wouldn’t you say so, Cedric?” spoke the long white haired and rather thin scientist with a smirk as he looked over the papers.

The other man, whose build was bulky and who looked rather stern in comparison simply shrugged. “My duty is simply to look after you as you are the XO here. I technically don’t have the right to voice my opinion.”

“How dull… I’d expect you to at least be a bit livelier in my presence.”

“Sir-“

“Just call me Lorenzo, that’s an order,” spoke the scientist as he looked over the ‘thing’ being forced to kneel before them.

“…Lorenzo, are you sure we can be casually discussing things in front of ‘it’?”

“Why not?” grinned Lorenzo as he stared at his prized possession, “I would like to see what it has to say about us. Wouldn’t you like to know that, too?”

“…”

The thing kneeling simply continues to hang its ‘head’ as wires and tubes are protruded from… or into its body. From anyone else’s point of view, one would assume that the being is simply dead, but from what was heard from the conversation between Cedric and Lorenzo, it is clear that isn’t the case. After bit of silence, Lorenzo simply laughs to himself.

“Nothing as usual… So this is what our little companion sees of us.”

“What do you mean…?” asks Cedric.

“Even like this, it still sees us as nothing more than insignificant nuisances.”

“You’re saying that this thing, despite its condition, still believes it can win?”

“No, it knows it can win.”

“What?!”

“We’ve probed it, interrogated it constantly, and done so many unethical things to it that even serial killers of old would be disgusted at… yet this thing hasn’t flinched or winched once in pain. Hell, we’ve wasted so many truth serums that this thing should be a drugged mess, however, you can see that it is perfectly fine, yes?”

“That’s true. It’s still fine… Why is that?”

“Hard to say, Cedric my friend… but this is the difference between them and us… We would break easily as human beings were we to be enslaved, they however… I believe they would never break if we were to capture them.”

“So… what’s the point in keeping it alive if we aren’t getting anything from it?”

“That’s where you are wrong! We are learning from it despite its reluctance to cooperate. They are the perfect soldiers, but their lack of emotions is something that holds them back. They don’t particularly seem to have much of anything that they’re fighting for from what I’ve noticed… they’re just fighting to kill us. We all have our reasons to fight and that gives us strength.”

“I never thought those words would come from your mouth, Sir.”

“I told you to call me Lorenzo.”

“Sorry… but still, what we learned from them isn’t much.”

“I suppose… but we have learned something interesting… and that is that they are capturing humans, and I’m sure that this particular Cruxi has all the answers. I also intend to get those answers out of it one way or another.”

"Welcome Cadets, to Solaire," spoke the woman in a Framewerk suit in front of the group. "I am Lieutenant Ritsu and as of this moment, you are all officially government property and will be taking orders directly from both myself and-"

"Oho! So these are the Cadets!" blurted another voice as a tall white-haired man practically shoved her aside. "Sorry Ritsu, I didn't notice you were there! I was so excited to see the new Cadets that I could barely contain myself!"

"-a-and our XO Lorenzo," mumbled Ritsu as she tried desperately to regain her balance and giving a salute. "Attention! XO! Shouldn't you have more pressing matters than to welcome the new Cadets?"

"Not at all... It would be rude of me not to. Besides, I'm interested to see what they can do already."

"I see... Anyway, Cadets, this is our XO on the base Professor Lorenzo, most of his work is classified so don't bother asking about it. Just know that he'll be observing our progress periodically from time to time to see how well we do. Also, we will be holding a mock battle in an hour to determine who will be squad leader... so do perform admirably, that is all."

"Hoho, so soon?" grinned the XO as he looked at the Cadets. " Nonetheless do well and try to get along, introduce yourselves to each other why don't you, I'm interested to see how this'll go..."

With that... the two seniors left you all to yourselves. Only an hour to determine who will be Squad Leader so might as well get to know one another while you can.
@Treepuncher121

I'll have to agree with Ammo here, the power seems a bit problematic... I'd feel comfortable if it was reworked. As for their memento, a rapier or armor doesn't fit the theme of what a memento should be either. Both a rapier and armor are considered valuable and can be used for many things... Mementos should be essentially useless or worthless things in the eyes of someone else or precious to you. If you truly wish to have a weapon of sorts, a small blade or sort may work, but it would have to be of some significant value and it would have to tie directly into your character's personality and backstory.

Also, the Character tab is only for accepted characters as a heads up.

@The_written_John

Hmmm... This is something that I'm fairly interested in. The character interests me and I'm curious to see how far he'll go in this strange world. Normally, I'd say to give the character a power, but- I will say that I will make an exception just this once.

He's accepted.

Don't die now.
Of course~!


“With everything that has happened to you up to this moment, with everything that you have experienced... can you give me an honest answer and say that you love or hate the world that you live in? And if you could have the option to escape it in an instant... would you wish for the opportunity to go back to it or live in the fantasy that was given to you?”

As the voice echoes into your head, cradling you as you fall into a deep slumber, you soon find yourself opening your eyes and waking up in a land unlike anything you have seen before... and you realize, that you are definitely no longer in your room.



"These are the first words that must be answered if you are to take your first steps into this adventure that I ask of you. If you love it, truly, truly love the world that you come from then you must take a step back and figure out why is it that you cannot hate it despite all that there is wrong with your world. I have seen your people fight, rape, and kill one another... I have seen the racism and the hatred... I have seen the violent outbursts and constant rage that comes from your kind... but if for some reason you can still love it and choose to go back, then I will give you that option once you have done me a favor of great importance. However as a being of contradiction and balance I must also ask of thee something else; if you hate it, why can’t you love it? If, despite all the opportunities given to you since the moment of your birth and the chances you have had to change, why is it that you can still find a reason to hate? Why is it that you can not forgive those around you and simply love them? What is it that you hate so much with the world?"

"I ask these things because it is my duty to and because whatever it is you feel towards your planet... yourself... and however it is you may act from hence forth it will shape you into the person you will need to be as you adventure into this world… MY world. Do be warned, however, that your feelings and your emotions can make a vast difference here in my world whether you want it to or not."

"For example, your anger and your rage can turn you into something you despise but what you crave... while your calm and love can bring you something else. These are but simple examples after all, nothing more and nothing less. Whether you listen or heed these examples or warnings are up to you."

"Now, you may be wondering, why exactly is it you are here? That is something I can explain with ease. Who I am can be explained another time, but here… in the land of Kite where dreams and fantasies come true by a simple whisk of one's hand, my people are in grave danger. I have allowed many from your world to enter mine in order to save not only this world, but yours as well because something has broken free. If it is not stopped, then both of our worlds will be destroyed."

The voice in your head finishes speaking for a bit, only to cough as if clearing its throat, although, it seems rather pointless why a voice in your head would be clearing its throat.

"Adjust yourself to this world and meet up with the others in the village nearby and do please stay on the roads as to avoid dangers living nearby. While it is true that you are my responsibility since I have brought you here without much of a single warning, I do not wish want to be responsible for your deaths so soon without having the chance to meet you all."

...and just like that, you're left to your fates in the mystical land of Kite.

Kite, The Realm Within One's Heart


Welcome to the mythical land of Kite, a land ruled by a plethora of different races that you will undoubtedly come across as you explore this land in your adventures!

In this RP, you will be playing as a person from the human world (our world) who has been transported to the world of Kite via a special means that will be mentioned in-game by a very powerful individual who has requested our help. Your character's powers will be through your character's own personality and how they view and have acted in their world own world:

Now, what this means is that YOU yourself are entitled of creating your own character, but it also means that they wont be very strong entering the world of Kite. They will be strong and be able to perform some pretty cool things based upon their mentality and what not. If someone was a thief their life, they may be adept to shadows, if someone was athletic they may be a good runner, if someone was an artist they may be able to summon things, etc... but those are only what they were able to do based on their real life skills. Now, there will also be people who could do those same things but at a lesser level if they have desired that power. Say that someone wanted to be stronger to protect someone else, but didn't have the strength to... well, in Kite, it makes dreams and fantasies real, and would grant that person more strength!

This is the gift that Kite grants; the power of 'belief' and 'bringing things into reality'. What you couldn't do before you can do here in Kite, but it is of course limited, and each playable character starts off with a central theme, however, once the RP gets started you will be free to adapt and branch out from this central theme and expand your powers freely. (Say you start off being a master swordsman, and you later want to dwell into magic, you will be more than happy to; the same could be said for a creature summoner or someone with a bow and arrow etc.)

Like a said, the only limitations are the ones that you give for yourself in this RP, however there will of course be limits starting fof for simplicity sake.

Anyway, there will also be be things that will be touched upon in this setting that may be disturbing to others, despite it being a high fantasy setting. I also know how some players can get in such settings and I would like people who are prepared for this kind of stuff and know what they are getting into.

Basically folks, in this RP I'm going to be making sure that people actually feel some emotion towards their characters and have them put through some stuff with actual character development instead of being a blunt character. This means that there wont be anything such as plot armor or dodge for days kind of stuff, everyone here will be on the same playing field.

This is an RP that I will invest my time into heavily, and you can expect me to be focusing on this one a lot. This doesn't mean I wont abandon my other RPs, just giving a heads up that I'm going to be extremely aware of this one and GM-savy!

Another thing before introducing the sign-ups is that any diseases, illnesses, or disabilities that your characters had before entering Kite are automatically gone upon entering it. So, for example if you had a missing limb, cancer, diabetes, HIV, a tumor, or were stuck to a wheel chair, well, you would find the limb suddenly regrowing and your disease halted along with your strength coming back to you suddenly. While it would be a shocking, and probably traumatizing experience to your character initially, it might also be yet another reason why your character may want to stay in Kite; disabilities they once had would become no more, but once they leave the world of Kite they would have them once again. Just a heads up in case you want to make an interesting character is all

Anyway, here are the Sign-Ups for those who are interested!

  • Name: What is it that we should call you?
  • Age: So, how old are ya?
  • Sex: Male, or female?
  • Appearance: Might as well show or tell us what you look like. To be truthful, I'd like to see what you can do by describing yourself, but a picture is fine too!
  • Personality: Tell me, just what kind of person are you?
  • Background: I'd like to know a little bit more about yourself and know just why kind of life you used to live... we are going to have to get along after all.
  • Powers: The powers you were gifted upon being brought into Kite. These will be your bread and butter for now, and they will be your means of survival. I’m curious as to what you can do! Now tell me, what is it that you can do? Manipulation over magic? Can you summon things? Talk to and control animals? Bend your bones and contort your body? Are you capable of flight? Tell me. The possibilities are only limited only by your imagination... but remember, you are but a newborn chick compared to the masters who have been living decades upon decades here. Compared to them your powers are but basic gifts... so don't get too carried way or overconfident, okay?
  • Personal Motive: This is where I want to learn what makes you, well, tick. What exactly is it that you are working so hard towards? Is it actually to go back home, or perhaps you are actually wanting to stay here in the land of Kite? Perhaps you have no intention of going home? Perhaps you intend to make a name for yourself in this mystical land, make a family, or even conquer it for yourself? What do you want to do human?
  • Mementos: Now for the most important thing of all... your most prized possession. What small things were brought with you as mementos from the world from whence you came? Everyone is limited to two small things at the most, and these things are usually worth nothing to the people of Kite and others; the kicker is that they are important to you and you alone. How are they important to you or why you keep them close? Well, I’ll leave that entirely up to you.


With that, I'll leave you all to create your characters... and welcome, to the mystical World of Kite.

(Copy and pasted... Don't judge me, okay. I really didn't feel like rewriting all of this. ;-;)
