@DJAtomika

Well our characters have one similarity with wings, though they function differently.

However, I have to say, there is a lot going on with this character, and discernible weaknesses pale in comparison to everything else. Which might work fine, I guess, in Arena where you're trying to cover every single base, and its the goal of those involved to usurp the other character through some sort of tactical plan, but here, I feel like its a bit too much. If you can expand on her weaknesses, I'd feel a lot easier accepting this character. There's so much going on, I'm having a hard time just picking out one to focus on.

-Upper Body:
Потеря Небес (Poterya Nebes) - Heaven's Loss. The upper half of a set of daemon possessed medical armour, Poterya Nebes is Nataliya's main source of protection. The pain daemon within the armour absorbs most damage sustained and converts it into healing and shielding. The absorbed damage can also be kept as is and then distilled into syringes that are created by the armour for use in the syringe gun on the left bracer. These pain syringes contain a single dose of pure pain, and when injected into a subject, cause five seconds of intolerable agony

So is she mostly invincible when she wears this armor? Is it penetrable? I can accept her regeneration, but, while she certainly won't be killed, the overwhelming amount of protection she has just sets her up as a seemingly insurmountable character, including her regeneration and her biology. I don't assume that everyone's characters will get along from the get go, and if there are in-group skirmishes where characters end up fighting, I don't want one to vastly outweigh the other in terms of sheer power. Its not fair to the other RP'er. By that extension, I don't want our characters to be successful from the get go. They should encounter hardship and character developing situations within the universes that challenge their knowledge as well their physical capabilities, adding on to what great (or lack of great) experiences they've dealt with in their own worlds.

The homing missiles I can deal with, so long as you accept the balance that not every homing missile properly aimed or not will hit, whether from a misfire, or a retaliating shot. However this:

Also, he is able to directly affect the visuals of any fired projectile by simply making them vanish, or appear to have been fired from another direction, complete with the requisite sounds and sights. This power of misdirection serves to confuse and distract Nataliya's opponents, and is part of his skillset as a whole.

So, can she use these powers all simultaneously, with small intervals of rest between each power? Are they limited to what she is or is not focused on? Or do these daemons functions independently of her?

Plague Carrier - And of course, since she's made of disease, it means she is also very dangerous up close. A single touch from a finger infects a target with so many deadly toxins and pathogens that death is often confirmed, if not instantaneous.

So does this rule also apply to friends as well? Just anyone? Its very ultimate. Also, why is it only magic that works against her? Another things that's quite insurmountable to those who don't include some sort of high fantasy character.

To underline it, there is just a lot going on here.

@Kingfisher

If you're willingly to collaborate or work something out, I'd be rearing to go outside the law and work with Nyx. Blackmailing Chase about being a werewolf sounds like a splendid idea. And maybe we can toss @potatochipgolem's Vigil into it, heh, heh.

I feel like it would get back to her that Chase was a wolfy, somehow, no? And that Jo's mamma was a vamp? Would it be plausible to say she would blackmail them using those elements?

BTW

Welcome to the rp @Prisk!

It would be ok to say that your character has created an imaginary appearance for his or her soul twin, but to say that the host twin actually knows what the "real" appearance of the soul twin would have been is a no, no. For the most part unless they envision them otherwise, the soul twin should appear, as I said, as a colored floating orb.

No soul twin induced hallucinations (and I don't believe I will include it in the future; not sure, I have to give some more thought to it). The extent to which a soul twin can influence the host twin through the mind, for now, is with words. A hallucination may occur from the stress of the argument, but the hallucination is self-created, a product of the host twin's own mind. This is for now. I don't want the soul twins to start out all powerful, and I may never want them to get to that level of power. They certainly cannot take over the body of their host twin, but they will develop more powerful capabilities, be immensely strong in other ways, as the rp goes on and the souls age and evolve with the hosts. The things to remember is that the hosts owns souls and minds are also aging and developing, making them quite adept at feigning off the influence of a soul twin. I will expand on this more, per say, we get some more people interested in the rp and actually get into it lol.

Welcome to Santa Somabra [Fantasy Noir]

So... @Kingfisher would you be quite all right if I went off and dropped the plot with RIengo. I don't really want to get caught up waiting, get left behind, and then have to drop out...and if so does anybody have any suggestions as to what I could do? Not opposed to coming up with it on my own, but it would be nice to hear anyone else's input.

Welcome to Santa Somabra [Fantasy Noir]

I'm getting a little worried...RIengo hasn't replied in quite a while. and I'm itching to get into some rp action...

@Obscene Symphony

I've done quite a few rp's with first person, and so long as the character was indicated, it never became a big deal, so its not a primary concern of mine unless people feel overwhelmingly discomforted by it.

Ok, now this is where it may get complicated. The host twin can, as you mentioned, only recognize the placement of the soul twin depending on the relationship between the two. The soul twin, while intangible, has its own eye and sensory information, meaning at any given time, a host twin can feel or see with something of inner eye where the soul twin is located, but not see the soul twin within their physical reality. This changes as the bond increases between the two, where it becomes possible for the host twin to discern the soul twin as a glowing orb of some color in their vision, but something that remains unseen to all others except other host twins.

I should also mention that the relationship with the soul twin affects the host twin's perception of spirits; that it to say, a host twin with a poor soul twin relationship will sense spirits, but their eyes will not make out bodily creatures. However, a host twin with a good relationship will make out discernible creatures, which may appear somewhat transparent and blur and in and out of reality. A host twin with a powerful relationship will be able to see other spirits quite clearly to the point where they may look extremely solid.

Multiverse RP?

OOC Still some kinks I got to work out, but there it is.

The Multiverse

...

What is it? In theory, the multiverse is a set of finite and infinite alternate universes which exist parallel to one another, and together, define the entirety of everything in existence. That is to say, the multiverse is everything that science has only just scratched the surface of; space, time, matter, energy...

The first universe was the base of all others, though we know not when the first was created. Each alternate universe thereafter is theorized to have come about from a successful occurrence in it's history, an occurrence which split it from its base (or the product of the base) and gave rise to a new universe. By the extension of that logic, we could say that a universe is created for every choice an individual makes. 

It's nonsense, of course. There are too many individuals in the world for each one's actions to have such a huge impact that it would spawn the birth of a new universe. Therefore, we have limited the theory of creation to large scale events.  

For the past five years, my colleagues and I have argued heartily for the acceptance of the theory of many-worlds, but with no solid proof, we set out to make some. The slow evolution of technology has hindered our progress exponentially, but finally, we believe we've found something.

A radar, quite revolutionary, developed by yours truly, has keenly alerted us to the presence of something beyond the thin black veil of space.

But, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning. 

About three years earlier, we produced our first on earth wormhole. A swirling, gravitation-less mass, black in colouration, with a thin middle and two gaping mouths on the ends. We tossed in a friend's toaster, and waited. The mouth which swallowed it did so slowly, and we found that we had to encourage the floating toaster to be on its way. It never came out the other side.

I believe it is important to mention that there seems to be no gravity within the immediate are of the wormhole, nor a powerful sucking force. I even dared to march right up to the wormhole, only to find it was as though nothing but thin, coloured, air floated in front of me.

Whatever goes in the wormhole requires some sort of propulsion to make its way through. There, the toaster, which was quite inanimate, would have never made it to the other side (per say it could have). Rather, it would have needed limbs, such as our own, to swim through the dense, water like nothingness of the hole, or jets to push it through.

Understanding our predicament, we created a small but powerful satellite, DIVINITY, to maneuver its way through the wormhole. Paired with its own very powerful radio system, we hoped to maintain contact with it as it was absorbed into the black mass, which was somehow both airy and watery thick.

What a success! DIVINITY, that small piece of scrap metal, seemed to have found a totally other world. Blurry pictures detailed lush but dark forests and a dulled sky, with a barely visible sun. We spotted shadows of life, indiscernible creatures in DIVINITY's iffy focus, but surely creatures. 

We're going to present this proof to the Board tomorrow. Before, where on luck was on our side, now stands reality and truth!

Nov. 10, 1828

We've been given the thumbs up to continue our research by the Board! And quite a bit of funding too!

Jan. 21, 1829

I am pleased to announce (or rather, record) that FIVE more wormholes have been created, each yielding similar results to the first. Life is copious on at least three of the five new universes we've discovered. The outlook for future communication is looking positive.

March 8, 1829

Something is not right.

March 10, 1829

I'm scribbling this down rather quickly, as there is no time to be detailed. *Strawberry's note: Always so says the character who yet continues to include detail. I hope the lack of paragraphs in this entry will convince of his haste.* This morning, some black gelatinous mass seeped out of our first wormhole. It was rather shapeless when it emerged, and its thickness would have been comparable to that of the physical feel of a wormhole. Immediately, its wormhole began to degenerate, slowly fading away, and leaving us with a creature quite out of our capabilities. We observed for a while, and then finally, it spurred into action. It must have taken note of us; while it maintained its black detail-less colouration, it formed into a shape eerily similar to that of a human. And then it attacked, almost swallowing two of our researchers whole, and going after a good deal of equipment. Finally, it seemed to collapse inward on itself, and disappeared. From what I gathered, there seems to be only one conclusion.

It is a SENTIENT WORMHOLE. 

Notably, there was a toaster sticking out of it when it emerged.

March 11, 1829

The lab is in RUINS. That beast sucked up everything it could, but more than anything, we know it was trying to take a bite out of us. What's more, one of our satellites has observed its doings in (very luckily) a universe of one of our other wormholes.

The creature attacks and conquers and gains. It seems to be building intelligence whilst attempting to dominate those worlds in which it visits. What's more, once done, it leaves a wormhole behind. The thing can create wormhole!

We're not quite sure what, or how many, other worlds it has moved on to, as we only got lucky...

This our fault. If we hadn't been so rearing to discover new worlds...

March 20, 1829

Ok, well its taken us a small while, but we've come up with a solution. We didn't really come up with it, not on our own at least. 

The wormholes are going haywire, spitting creatures of all manner into the lab, some sentient, others more beastly. We, with the help of the government that we've inevitably had to involve, have captured a few of these creatures and held them prisoner. We will hold them till we can stabilize the wormholes and return them to their native universes. 

Our interests lie with the sentient creatures. We'll gather "heroes," call upon sentient beings from other universes. Surely if the entire world is threatened, good or bad, these people/kind-of-people, will help us.

Right?

Premise

So this is where our characters come in. I have yet to create profiles for our mysterious groups of scientists, but they will basically be guiding our characters on the way to destroy our gelatinous friend, who is, as of yet, unnamed, but consistently evolving. This creature is going to change and learn with each new world, and become increasingly insurmountable. And become quite the escapist too...I don't want to give away too much about him/her, but I have its "powers" fleshed out to the point that it will hopefully pull the rp along quite well.

Our character have been spit out from unstable wormholes and captured by the scientists and government of the world where all this drama started. Our scientists, being very crafty, have devised a plan to use the most sentient creatures to tail and hopefully subdue or defeat Mr. Toaster Monster. Our characters will be first called to the lab of the scientists who created the wormhole, where they will be informed and recruited. Then they will sent off, with communicators and another more advanced satellite to guide them through the universes as they attempt the search for the angry jelly.

Rules

The basics really:

• No godmoding, powerplaying, the like.

• Be respectful to your fellow rpers.

• Idk, I've never been good with rules.

• Especially since I just threw this together.

• Like 2 seconds ago.

• And I'm tired.

• You know what, I'll work on rules tom tom. Let's move on.

CS

Feel free to sparkle this up however you want.
Appearnce: Preferably a written description.
Genre(s):
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Personality:
Bio: Long or short as you want, I've never really been keen on the bio section. Some people flesh it out for their characters, others like me like to have very average characters who've just started their journeys, so you write what feels best..

Ok, now here comes the tricky part. Everything after Bio is up to you. All world building elements, planet elements, society structure, weaponry, species...all that description is up to you, depending on what world you've built for your character. I don't feel like I can cover every aspect of description you might wish to include, so I'm giving you free reign to create sections. This'll mean that not everyone's CS will be very conformist, but then and again its a multiverse rp, so where is the conformity. I hope you all get it, but if not, I'll whip up a more detailed CS.

Fused At Birth

Wow, I didn't think was going anywhere. Either way, thanks to both of you for at least showing interest!

@gaudi
Inevitably, posts that pertain to responding to other people's characters sometimes end up pretty short.

But, typically, around one and a half to two pages, Times, 12. More if I'm feeling it, less if the rp is going sour. I'm not an overwhelming type of person. At least, I don't think two pages is very overwhelming. Also, I hate making advanced writing a "who's post is longer" contest. Quality is just as important as quantity, and I don't want some dribble lasting ten pages but consisting of nothing but repetitions of the same surrounding described fifty different ways and the intermediate hipster song lyrics to add on to the length.

By that extension, it would also depend on the skill and habits of the people who choose to join the rp (if it really does take off). I'm open to taking people who are still shakily being introduced to the advanced section, because everyone deserved their fair chance. If the group we get all ends up being adept enough at writing, then I'll probably bump up the standard a lil. Not too much, though. I do things in real life frequently enough that I sometimes have trouble sitting down to write some great masterpiece, so I take that into consideration when "setting the standard".

Either way, I feel like there should be enough going on the brain, full conversations between literally two people in the mind, to write quite a bit, whether they're arguing or genially discussing the weather, and weather or not the character has much to say out loud.

@The Mad Hatter
Eh, even if you don't join, you've got the idea of the rp down anyway. Mind will be as important as mouth here.

Multiverse RP?

Cool to see more interest! Had a very exhausting day yesterday out with my biffle, so will try to have an organized CS up late today, maybe tonight.

And no probs with the Arena characters.
