Hello and welcome to ArcRift! We're a new Multifandom RP with an equal focus on sandbox as well as linear story! This is achieved by using both the IC and OOC threads as RP thread - with one focusing on the sandbox, and the other focusing on the linear plot. You can participate in one, the other, or both! The choice is yours! These threads will converge at multiple points, as well as have lasting affects on each other! Because of this fact, it is necessary to join our Discord for OOC Updates and chatter. Also, your Character sheets will be posted in the Characters tab, as this OOC tab will be reserved for the Sandbox RP going forward. And yes, the Sandbox RP will have quests to tie everything together - but interaction is encouraged!

So, let's talk mechanics!

In both RPs, characters will be handed these nifty little items called Stop-N-Watches! These will allow you to swap out your characters between threads with one of your own - or someone else's - at any point in the RP! However, in the event that the latter case happens, both players must consent before doing so. ICly, your characters will know how these are one way or the other. Sandbox it's up to you (don't get meta gamey with it), but in the linear thread it'll be explained to them.

Each Arc will ideally last anywhere from one month to a few months total, should no unexpected irl circumstances occur. Sign-Ups will be open for One Week following the release of the Main Story thread, and after that they'll be closed until the next Arc rolls around.

Anywho, without further ado...

Arc 1

The Watchful Eyes

Main Story

You awake in what seems to be a massive office space. It's pretty fancy - and filled to the brim with trinkets and expensive furniture alike. A bright and clear sunny sky could be seen from the large window in front of you. Said sun happened to be shining into the room itself, right down towards a bald man, who sat at a large desk across from you.



"Greetings. I am Lex Luthor. You don't know it yet, but you've been brought here for a reason."

"The reason being? I require your aid."

Sandbox

You will be allowed two different starting locations for this first Arc!

Gotham City

Gotham City. The city with the largest crime rate in the world. It's always dark and bleak here - and for good reason. One of the first things you heard upon waking up was gunfire. Or maybe it was manic laughter behind an alleyway's corner? Whatever it was - you knew immediately that this was a hellhole.

Metropolis

Metropolis is the mirror of Gotham City in just about every way. It's always bright and sunny, and crime is a rarity here. Makes sense for the town known most for being Superman's home turf! If you want something more bright and cheerful, then this is the place for you!

You may start out at these locations wherever you'd like. Wanna say that your character just woke up on the streets of Gotham? Go ahead! Wanna instead say that you've been here for a few months, and are now a freelance reporter for the Daily Planet? Go for it! The world is your oyster - and as long as you don't go overboard (or play NPCs without permission from someone on Council), then you can go wild! Just keep in mind that all characters woke up with the Stop-n-Watches already attached to their wrists. And if they just woke up, then they wouldn't know what they are or how they work. If your character's been here a while, however, then they're allowed to know. Just don't get too meta-gamey with it.

Now for the sheets! Make sure to post these in the character tab!

Face Claim/Appearance: Say click! Take a pic!

Name: Self-explanatory.

Age: Also self-explanatory.

Gender: C'mon, Professor Oak's waiting.

Canon: Where are you from?

Main Thread or Sandbox: Where will your character be?

Starting Location (SANDBOX ONLY): Where is your character starting out? Please name a specific location and the city. If you have trouble with this, feel free to ask staff in the Discord - or if you're not in our Discord yet, shoot me a DM on here and I'll give you an invite. Also please state whether your character just woke up here, or if they've been here for any amount of time. Make sure to specify the amount of time as well!

Personality: What are you, really? Fatal flaws and saving graces are recommended.

Equipment: Hey, you're watching "Gear Up", the worst show on television!

Attributes: Abilities and powers (if you have any), plus any advantages and disadvantages, go here.

Biography: What was your life up to this point?

Other: Miscellaneous info about you goes here!

You are limited to five characters each. Three in the sandbox, two in the Main RP. Have fun!

What are some of the most confusing/cringiest OC's you have ever encountered?

There was one OC who was named Adam. His whole thing was that he was like- a weird human ripoff of Sonic. He was dubbed "The Strongest Man in the Multiverse" and had these insane feats. The guy playing him would always go on about how he can beat anyone and could just win any fight imaginable, but the second you questioned him on it he'd get really defensive and leave the conversation.

Dude was cringe.

Ellie

---

Game Origin: The Last of Us

Personality: Ellie is known for her extremely loud mouth as well as her abrasiveness. Growing up in a post apocalyptic world will make anyone super bitter - and this girl is no exception. She doesn't take shit from anyone and considers herself to be particularly independent. She hates it when people talk down to her or treat her like she's a kid - because she knows that she's so much more than just that. She's not afraid to put anyone in their place if they go after her or her especially those she cares about. Ellie is a firm believer in the "eye for an eye" philosophy. The whole world can go blind if they so want, as long as it means they got their just desserts.

But despite all of that, Ellie fears one thing above all else: being alone. She doesn't want to lose those who are closest to her. She may be tough as nails when she's alone, but Ellie craves off of human interaction. She thrives off of it. If she gets attached to someone, then she'd damn well better not lose them. And if someone takes them from her? Well, then she'll sure as shit be out for blood.
Background: Ellie grew up in a world overrun by a fungus known as the Cordyceps. They turned her into world into a zombie-infested wasteland years before she was even born. From a young age, she was forced into military training by the adults around her, much like every other kid was. This led to her learning how to both shoot a gun and hold her own in a fight. It's also here that she picked up her survival skills.

After an encounter with the Infected at a mall, however, both Ellie and her friend Riley were bit. They planned to die together that day, but in a cruel twist of fate, it turned out that Ellie had been immune... and Riley hadn't. Not long after being forced to kill her own best friend, Ellie was taken under the care of the Fireflies - a group of freedom fighters hoping to restore the world to what it once was. But due to unforeseen circumstances, Ellie was instead put under the care of smuggler Joel Miller. Joel was tasked with bringing her to a Fireflies base elsewhere in hopes that their surgeons would develop a vaccine using whatever made her immune.

It was during this little adventure that Ellie and Joel formed a very father/daughter like bond. By the end of it all, they were practically inseparable. But they'd gotten to their goal and reached the Fireflies. That is - until Galeem attacked at the exact moment both her and Joel arrived. No one was able to stop his all-encompassing light, and it was then that Ellie had been forced to turn into a spirit.

Once again, Ellie was alone.

That is, until she'd been brought back...

Specialty: Ellie's main area expertise would be long-ranged weapons. Specifically, she's proficient with a rifle, handgun, and an arrow. But she can try other weapons as well - though hand her something like a flamethrower compared to a basic bow and arrow, and she'll have a bit of trouble even getting the damn thing to work. It's very much a case by case basis.
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10
Powers: Advanced Hearing - When Ellie focuses hard enough, she is able to hear people around her that she can't see. She can't hear very far though - as her limit in quiet areas would be around two rooms over, while in more noisy ones it'd only be one room.

Strengths:
- Long-Range Weapon Proficiency
- Squeeze into smaller areas
- Somewhat advanced knowledge in hand-to-hand combat (military grade)

Weaknesses: Aside from her obvious thoughts of being a meat bag of flesh that's vulnerable to bullets, knives, and just about anything else a human can sustain - Ellie's biggest fear is without a doubt her anger. Her temper is about as short as her height is in actuality. This leads her into getting in trouble with the wrong people - as well as generally just biting off more than she can chew.

Spirits: N/A

Guest List:
- Joel Miller (The Last of Us)
- Viridi (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
- Byleth (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)

Inventory:
- Handgun: This standard handgun will be kept by Ellie at all times. It's an ordinary pistol with seven rounds. Ellie will start off with fourteen rounds, and hopefully she'll find more as her story progresses.
- Flashlight: A flashlight used for seeing in dark areas. Nothing much more to say than that.
- Combat knife: Ellie uses this to take out her enemies more stealthily. It's a small knife that ideally will only be used in sections where Ellie needs to be quiet. Or to like.... cut things such as rope, I guess.
- Bow and Arrow: Ellie will also be equipped with a bow and arrow. She'll have four arrows to start out with. Like the rounds in her pistol, she will ideally find more arrows as her story progresses.
- Backpack: To carry all this stuff, Ellie has her backpack on her at all times. It's small and almost never taken off when she's not resting. There's about three pockets left of empty space when accounting for the above.

<Snipped quote by Thatguyinastore>

Seems like a very well-done sheet. The only note I have is that Dedexe is already around, so you could swap him out for a different kindred. As a whole though, the sheet is accepted. Feel free to post in the Characters tab and when I'm off work I'll PM you about an entry point.

@Lugubrious

Cool, cool. I’m in class atm, but I will when I’m out. Btw if there’s a Discord, could I get a link?

Hope this is alright!

Hey all, Thatguy here!

I've gone by many names over the years. Thatguy, StoreGuy, Store, etc. Call me any of those. I've been RPing since 2014, so about 7 years now! I'm mostly advanced lit, but I'm willing to match whoever I'm a partner with. I'm looking to RPing with you all!
