Welcome, everyone that posted in my short absence!
Stopping in to let everyone know that this is still going down and work is being done on the OOC. I've been under the weather lately and it's been hard to get things off the ground. Should be up by Sunday.
Thank you all for your time and interest.
I'm going to be accepting all those who are interested. If things get too hectic to ve contained within one class; we can open up other options.
Thank you all for your interest. I'm looking forward to role-playing with all of you and I'm excited to see what everybody comes up with. I'll work more fervently on the Ooc. Expect it in two or three days.
As I said before, somewhat loosely, if anyone has questions or comments or the like ;please don't hesitate to post them here or shoot me a private message.
I apologize if there are any errors in this post. I'm currently typing on my phone.
Well, my plan for my Guardian Spirit wielding character is that it has taken the place of her hair [y'know...a hair weapon] ...so I'm pretty much fine with whatever.
Thank you, Izuriel and AgentFallenSoul for your interest. I'm glad.
> If I wasn't here you'd fall apart without me.
Hahaha, you know it. Glad you're down for this one, because I'm certainly going to need your help getting things underway.
**A Brief Synopsis.**
Each year when the Chromatic Comet crashes down in Seaside City, shortly after the trees shift to their golds and crimsons, the Fall War begins. A time honored tradition, in which students are grouped by their homerooms or clubs are pitted against one another in a grand display of human brutality and depravity. The day following the touchdown of the Chromatic Comet is when it begins. When the bell rings, chaos is set free. Blood spills across the halls and the streets are enraptured with the furor of young hearts beating out a symphony of victory.
Why does the Fall War exist? Why must the students pit themselves against their peers in ruthless combat? For a grade. Their grade and the secular comfort of their family. Those who succeed...those who are not culled, find themselves granted all the comforts that the mundane world can offer. Money, new clothes, fine dining...a new life at the top. Yet there exists a darker purpose behind the annual ritual. The Chromatic Comet is not as it appears...and a shadowy hand pulls the strings behind every event that transpires while the Fall War is underway.
**What I Want To Say:**
The Fall War is a tribute to countless anime, intended to be light-hearted at times and soul-wrenchingly grim at others. What I intend with this bizarre amalgamation of tropes and twists is to provide everyone with a forum to express their creativity; within the bounds of a unique and deeply flavored setting. This story is to be one of struggle and strife...of flowers blooming in the volcanic wastes of despair. It is a story of high school. Of life...of extreme and outlandish combat.
What we'll be doing is taking control of a group of students from homeroom 3-D, all of which will be competing in the Fall War. While the initial stages will involve becoming accustomed to our characters and their abilities...creating social links and rivalries. Soon, we will begin to unravel the mysteries of the Chromatic Comet, The Fall War and the Arch Principal.
Each character will have a set of abilities unique to themselves. Those that choose to do so will be a host to an ancient 'living weapon', known as a Guardian Spirit. Before humanity had written the first syllable of its long history, these Guardian Spirits were created for the sole purpose of combat. It is from combat that they grow and thrive. However, those who are host to a Guardian Spirit run the risk of being possessed by it; surrendering their free will to their former weapon.
This is just a quick interest check. More information can be provided as questions are asked. Work is being done on the Out Of Character thread, currently, though it may be some time before it is complete. If this catches your eye, or interest, please post here with your questions or comments.
Thank you for your time.
Actually, that's pretty interesting; due to an idea I had about the sister finding an ancient grimoire that bestows upon her some powers of the Magi of Darkness. I'll shoot a PM to the other person and see if they're interested in doing a three-way RP. Barring that, I have no problem running two of the same plot; as I feel that they will develop in very different ways. They haven't given me a response, yet, as I've only had time to PM recently. When I know something, I'll let you know! Thanks for your suggestion, it's a tantalizing prospect, to be sure. ^^
Unfortunately, Laios; I recieved a PM about seven hours before your post, requesting the same plot. I don't mind running two of the same, at once, but I thought I'd bring this to your attention and let you know what to do with it. I am quite pleased that you've chosen to play the male lead, as it will be easier for me to provide details in-character from the Golem's point of view.
If you're interested in doing so, please don't hesitate to PM me so we can work out some preliminary details.

Well, well, well. I really did not expect to get an answer so quickly. That sounds great to me! Do you have any questions or anything about it, right now?
Also, thanks so much for responding! ^^

Hello, there. I'm SomeSoldSoul. I haven't had a lot of free time on my hands, lately; until now! Now, I've got time between classes and some down time when I get home. I'd like to use this time in a pleasant manner, which, to me, would be finding a new friend or two with which to craft and explore new worlds together. I like to think of myself as a skilled writer and wordsmith, that has amazingly interesting ideas! You may not think so, but, still; gotta have confidence. I'm looking for people that're willing to put down two to three paragraphs a post and are willing to collaborate with me on plot points and character development.
Anyway, onto the plots! [As a note; I'm always open to other suggestions. However, I am not interested in doing fandom RPs...unless we're going to be using OC's in a world I am familiar with.]
1) When Twilight Beckons [A Tale Of Entwined Souls]: My idea for this one is relatively straight-forward. Inspired by countless anime and other such extravagence. Twilight is the world between worlds. In this strange dimension, the residual emotions of humanity's subconscious is gathered and given shape by mysterious entities known as 'Scribes'. Twilight is a magnificent realm of fancy that defies common logic, though it deeply mirrors the mundane world. Though these Scribes are god-like in their own right, they are bound to the world of Twilight. This leads them to create pacts with those of the Mundane Sphere. Those who are contracted with Scribes become known as Conduits, allowing them the ability to traverse between the two worlds and bestows upon them new abilities; enforcing the will of their Scribes.
The story begins with a relatively typical day in New Bridge City, with the exception of one thing; a new transfer studen to the High School. This transfer student is a Conduit, sent forth by their Scribe on urgent business. Twilight has begun to bleed into the Mundane Sphere.
Thinking this one would focus heavily on combat, exploring Twilight and perhaps some romance. I have a general idea that we can discuss for the overarching plot and character development. If romance is, indeed, a big interest of yours; I'll go ahead and state that "I don't care about their gender or sexual orientation. I am fine with whatever, so long as it feels natural between the characters."
2) The Machine//God-gate: This one is an odd mix, to be sure. Long ago, humanity tore down the heavens; casting down the God-Machine. When it fell, catastrophe riddled the world; destroying much of what it once was. Now, the world has largely recovered from the wasteland it once was...and though the glory of humanity is long lost; civilization is flourishing. Morundias is a thriving country, though it teeters on the brink of war. An unknown enemy has appeared to from the east, apparently using long-lost shards of the God-Machine to fuel their terrifying weapons of war. These new foes are vexing to the Morundians. Appearing only long enough to destroy a single settlement and capture its inhabitants before disappearing back across the high peaks of the mountains that border Morundias.
The Magi Council, composed of the last five true Magi that exist within the world, have been summoned to aid against this new invader. While they are distracted, an ancient enemy, Baal Teslam, the demi-god of misfortune, once interred by the power of the Magi Council has begun to make his move.
But it is not with these strange happenings that our story will begin. We will begin in Oakheim, a small settlement situated to the east of Sivirin [Capital of Morundias]. Oakheim, noted for the quality of its Blacksmiths and Golem Crafters, is to host the annual King's Tourney; a tournament of Golems and a festival for all. Yet a dark shadow lingers over this small city; one that neither the Magi Council or the foreign invaders could have predicted.
Before the tournament, a teenage boy, son of a former Morundian military commander, sets out into the forest to find his sister. What he finds, instead, is an odd girl...a Golem more life-like than any he has seen before. A Golem that wears human flesh...a Golem that breathes and thinks and feels.
This one has a much deeper story, I can assure you. There's a lot to explain, really, so I'd rather not take up a huge portion of the page doing so. This one will focus on destiny, growing into adulthood, fighting against ancient evils and, again, perhaps some romance. I don't mind playing the boy or the Golem, to start with; though I am hoping to introduce more characters as we go along.
3) School-Girl Samurai Blues: This is probably the most simple of the three. Steel City is renowned for its participation in the Grand Regional Tournament; producing fighters of a high caliber, year after year from the local high schools. This year is your [our] freshman year at Steel City High. During the orientation, there is a rather important announcement; this year's summer tournament is going to have a prize greater than any previous competition. A wish. The winner will be granted a single wish by The Masked God; the man that has ruled over humanity for nearly five hundred years.
Aim for the top. Fight for your dreams.
This one will have all sorts of craziness. I'm hoping to make it a slice-of-life, comedy, action, romance kind of thing with a few interesting twists thrown in.
That's it, for now! I may add a couple more ideas, if none of these strike anyone's fancy. I don't have any particular preference for which one we do, as all of them, for me, have a huge amount of entertainment potential.
Thanks for readin' and I hope to hear from you soon!
