Yeah half-lings/hybrids are acceptable, but only realistic hybrids. Like, you can't do half dragon half vampire, that's just stupid lol. Anyways, hybrids within realistic limits are cool with me.

Well just post the cs, then like I always do I'll make a list of edits. Not that hard, based on the description of the race I'll decide what to do about it then. I mean there's not much I can do about this without seeing the cs unless people pm me about specific races and such.

Posting a CS template so hopefully some of you can start working on character ideas and also have some questions answered :)
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: (Include pics of different forms if your character can change forms)
Race: (Just a short description of the race and if they have any racial abilities)
Job/Skills: (basically alchemy and other such things, or if you're human this is where "wizard" and such would go)
Items: (Special objects or weapons that have powers)
Personality:
Years in the Peacekeepers:
Why you joined: (An event or reason for your joining of the peace keepers)
Personal Arc: (I like giving sections of RP's off to specific characters, making them the "main character" for a limited time to develop them and just flesh them out further, so just give a short description for a possible personal story arc for your character)
So I did think about how some characters are just things like elves without having an special magic skills, so that's how the race vs job/skill sections will work. Just showing you guys the CS so you know what format we'll be working with :).

It's like a 90% likely hood that the second idea is what we're going to be running. Gonna wait until later tonight and gauge the votes one more time then we're decided.

well nice to see this going so well, and let me elaborate a few things.
I've seen a few comments about the number of people for the rp's. I'm saying that I will accept at most 4 other people for either RP idea. I might increase the count for the FF one, but for peace keepers I actually originally imagined there'd only be 2 others besides myself involved, so if we get a full cast, then that means 5 people including myself, so even if we get a drop or two, that will still meet up with the idea that I had originally envisioned and I can still make that work. worst case scenario, if we get more than 2 drops, I can just put up a new int check asking for new RP'ers to join, or contact those that I originally declined, and introduce their characters as new recruits for the second idea.
I personally prefer the second idea myself, mainly because it's just much more "fool-proof" in teh sense that there's a logical way to both drop people (they're either too injured, traumatized or retiring) and also to introduce new ones (as new recruits).

So I have two different ideas that I want to pursue, but I am only going to go with one. So, I'm asking those that find themselves interested to give some critique or w/e, as well as a vote to decide which idea we're going to pursue.
Before I give out the ideas, I want to first explain a few things and rules. I'm starting a new RP because my other RP "The Sinners" is moving at a tremendously slow rate. I asked for a 4-5 day time period between each person's post. I would prefer to go faster myself (2-3 days) but being that this is advance and people have other things to do outside this RP, I give a 4-5 day time period. Several members of my other RP have taken a week plus to write responses, and we're already 4+ weeks in with each person having at best 4, the slower ones only having 2-3 up so far. How does this make me feel? Irritated, I give a very reasonable time period, and people still delay posts. If you can't post every 4-5 days, or approximately 3 times every 2 weeks, don't bother reading any further. I don't have the time or patience to waste, sorry if it seems harsh, just tired of RP's losing steam cause people don't want to give adequate effort into doing it. If you can keep this post schedule up, then continue reading. If you can keep up with this schedule, but occasionally need more time, just let me know before hand and then I'll understand. If it becomes a regular thing, then I'll get angry.
Secondly, I am having at most, a maximum, limit, max quota, (insert other word or phrase for "no more allowed" here) of 4 other RP'ers get involved. I intend to do this based on CS's turned into the OOC once we get past the int check, no first come first served, no calling or reserving spots. Everyone gets a few days after the OOC is up to make a character, after that I close the "application period" and review the CS's. From there I will pick at most 4 CS's. This means that not everyone will be accepted, hell that could mean I only pick 2 CS's if I find the others turned in are lacking. If we get less than 3 accepted, I'll give another few days for people to revise, and then make final decisions.
If you are deterred by the walls of text, here's a tl;dr.
1. If you can't post every 4-5 days, gtfo.
2. At most 4 people are accepted based on CS's and even then it might not be a group of 4 accepted.
If you don't like these basic rules I've established, then you can leave. I understand that it might seem harsh, but I've grown a little annoyed with the recent types of RP'ers I've been getting, so I'm setting up a very, very specific standard for everyone to follow.
Anyways, if you're still reading, then lets get onto the meat of this thread, the ideas.
Idea #1: Final Fantasy Summons
I've always adored the summons of the Final Fantasy Universe. I've found myself playing some of the entries within this series mainly just to see how the sprites or in game models of the summons are designed. I've found that sometimes, the histories of the summons can be even more interesting than some of the characters, lik in FF 10 where the summons are actually the spirits of people sacrificed to fight Sin. Anyways, this idea is actually a "reboot" of an idea I tried previously that flopped. The idea is that the characters we play are actually the human incarnations of the summons from the FF universe. I've yet to develop any real background or story around this concept, but I have worked on some ideas for how this will affect our characters. Of course they won't know they're summons, but after some event that triggers their abilities or knowledge of who they are, they will develop abilities similar to that of the summons they take after. For example, a character playing the incarnation of ifrit would excel at fire magic. At later stages, they would develop the ability to even "morph" into a form or create a weapon of sorts that represents their summon, and then finally actually turn into a full flesh and blood version of their summon. This still needs work as to the plot and setting, but I am in love with this concept and really want to pursue it.
Idea #2: Peace Keepers
So, another idea I have is based on an idea that's been brewing since I even knew what supernatural monsters and beings were. In a modern day, alternate reality, everything is pretty much the same except the fact that supernatural beings (werewolves, vampires, faeries, dragons, etc.) not only exist but are public knowledge, and have been for several decades now. Of course there is a lot of danger in this, especially if these supernatural beings decide to commit crimes. As a response to this, the government created a new government branch designed to handle "Supernatural crimes and terrorists threats." This branch is known as "Peace Keepers" which is made up of a network of intelligence agencies and field agents. The field agents can be anything from Supernatural beings themselves, to mages, too even regular humans with special made weapons or ancient artifacts to combat other supernatural beings. This plot would follow a squad of agents with at least one new blood and then several other agents which we will be playing. I do have a plot for this, but the best way I can describe it is kind of like...Imagine if we had a crew of super powered fighters going up against a secret terrorist organization, almost like the young justice series :)
Anyways, these are my two ideas, so if you're interested in either and/or have questions, post here saying which one you'd prefer to do and whatever questions if you. which ever idea gets 10 votes first, or just more votes after a few days, will be the winner and I'll setup an OOC for that idea.

Sloth was still staring at her own blade hand in this monstrous form but was broken out of the trance like state when her body moved on it's once, swatting away something. Sloth made it out to be a dice that Angel had thrown, and the next event caught her off guard. Out of a black material, similar to the gas from the explosion, black spiked shields form on the sins standing in front of her. She paused as her sub-conscious mind began putting the pieces together, and she heard Angel questioning her. When she tried to speak, Sloth mentally face palmed herself as she mouthed non-sense, no sound coming out. She had forgotten in the midst of everything happening that she couldn't actually speak in this form.
Before she could work out a way to try and communicate with them, Sam began to speak. She thought to herself ~Ugh...Why can't he save the shit for when we're dealing with something we actually understand?~ Then he lunged at her, the blade he held coming for her throat. Before she had time to react, her body shifted once more, creating an O-shape in her neck, the knife passing through. When his forearm was in the hole, it collapsed on his arm, locking him into place. She decided she would try to stop them and then wake herself up and find out if this were truly a dream or not.
The black body, she realized, was something that she could shape and command, meaning that she could probably do some crazy shit. While Sam while still stuck in the black body, she focused and shifted the form into a chain that wrapped itself around Sam to constrict him. After this, the body reformed, while still keeping the chains around Sam, and began to run back into the computer, leaving a trail of itself to keep the binds on Sam connected to itself, making sure that the binds were still strong around Sam. The black body then violently shook Sloth's body, and then she opened her eyes.
In that instant, the black body, and connecting bonds on Sam, disappeared in an instant. Sloth Sat up so quickly that she actually fell and landed face first on the floor, possibly damaging her nose seriously. She stood up slowly, feeling her nose, and while it wasn't broken, it was bleeding a decent amount. She ignored this for now and left the computer room, seeing Sam on the ground, knife in hand, but more importantly seeing the black shields that were manifested.
She stared for a few moments before saying "Alright...Give me a minute." Before anyone could say anything she said "Just shut the fuck up about what happened. I'm gonna explain everything, or at least what I think is going on right now, but I want to take care of my nose first."
With that, she went back to the kitchen and cleaned her face up. After she had stopped the bleeding, she came back into the living room and looked at everyone once more. She actually chuckled softly, not a happy or even angry chuckle, but a chuckle that borders insanity. Given the situation though, if it weren't for the fact that the black shields were in an actual physical form, she might consider herself insane. After she caught a breath, she said "So...You all saw that black body right? Well...I was sleeping and having a dream. Long story short, I think that the black body you saw was either a form I can take when sleeping, or a separate entity I control when sleeping. If it weren't for the fact that one of you can actually manifested those black shields somehow, I would just pass it off as a weird dream but...I don't think that's the case at all."
She turned and looked out the window, giving a sigh of relief. No one was around to see what happened, and she continued "So...some of us...Some of us seem to have new found abilities, maybe even all of us. What I do know is that the black manifestations that I and someone else can produce are very similar to the black gas from the explosion at the old building...Whatever happened there, we have seemed to gain some special abilities or something..."
She turned back to them and said "So I know I can make that black body when I sleep, someone else can create black manifestations, and Sam can heal his wounds...Have you guys discovered any other abilities?"
Sloth opened her eyes and found herself looking over her sleeping body. She thought to herself ~Trippy...Well whatever, just a dream right?~ She turned her head and looked around the room, noticing all of the shelves of computer hardware and wires. She chuckled to herself mentally, amazed that she was able to recall the computer room so clearly. usually when she dreamed she would be fuzzy on her surroundings and only focus on the events or people appearing in her dreams. She began to move around, noticing that she was much taller and larger then her actual size, even in comparison to her dream. She guessed that this, apparently lucid dream, was her dreaming of being someone (or something) else.
She turned to the door and reached her hand out, noticing that her hand was a large, monstrous looking hand. Pitch black, and instead of fingers more like jagged claws. She shuddered and mouthed "woah" without making a sound, realizing that she had no voice while in this form. She shrugged, still believing that it was simply a dream. Now she reached her hand to the knob, slowly twisting and opening the door slightly. She looked outside too see Pride cutting himself and healing it instantly and then turned back in disgust.
She thought to herself ~Jesus christ...What the hell is going!? wait...Calm down, breathe.~ She took several long, drawn out breaths, and as she calmed herself down, reinforcing the idea of this only being a dream inside her mind. She then turned back to the door, and opened it slowly, looking to everybody that was there. She noticed Wrath was still gone, and that Lust and Envy were also missing, leaving only Greed, Gluttony, and Pride.
(Gonna god mod this for a bit, sorry but I think it's a little necessary to move this along)
Then they all turned to face her, and she was met with blank stares. She waited for someone to say something and when they remained quiet, she took a step towards them, and they all backed away. She reached out towards them and before she even reached any of them, one of them picked something up from the table and smacked her hand away. She didn't feel any sensations of pain, or not even any physical touch. She pulled her hand back in reflex, but she reached out again and this time when one of them went to swat the hand away, it shifted it's shape.
The hand shifted into the form of a blade, cutting the object they swung at her with relative ease. She merely stared at her hand, trying to assess what the hell was going on. While she didn't feel anything, something about this whole situation was off putting, and something in the back of her head was starting to force the idea that this wasn't a simple dream anymore.
sorry but I'm keeping the RP to a group of 7 including myself, not to small but a nice manageable number. I'm sorry but the answer is still no
