Once Elmyra posts I think I'll post!

Out of curiosity Theyra who do you sort of recognize?

@Tally Dor

I was thinking Morgan since he works at the library and Michael spends some time there. Though I should have written that part in the post, now that I think about it.

Finally posted.

Michael Dasher

Michael was sitting in his apartment, in his room, lying on his bed, thinking with his hands behind his back. About what has changed and why he may have a power now. He knows he feels different while in sunlight, not just the good feeling but actually feeling physically stronger, faster, and more, and he has no explanation for it. For what could explain a sudden change in his biology or mental state that could account for this?

You do not get like this on its own, Michael thought, and he has done tests over the weeks since having this feeling. It is not just a feeling but something that does make him stronger, but why does the sun do this to him now? He sighed at the thought as he tried to think. Something has happened to him, and now things are different and so far. Michael has kept this a secret, even from his grandmother. It was not hard, but she could tell something was amiss with him, and he just covered it by saying the late nights at the observatory were starting to get to him. A lie that she seems to believe for now, and while he does not like lying to her, what could he say really? Hey, I have a superpower now, and I am solar-powered... Even though he can show her what he is talking about, Michael does not want to say anything to her about this until he knows more.

Which brings him back to the only thing that has changed in his life in Redstone that could somehow be connected to his power. Grace's Grotto, a place that he and others frequented but suddenly closed as suddenly as it opened. Michael enjoyed his time there and Grace's drinks and her somehow knowing what he wanted before saying anything. A peculiar thing but something that he ignored for the most part.

Could that be the missing link? Grace's Grotto? He knows when he passes by where the place was. It looks like it has been abandoned for years, not weeks.

Still, this is just a guess, a pure speculation on his part. Michael just does not know what it could be, and Grace seems to be the only factor so far. But he may not be alone in this. He checked his watch, and it was getting close to seven, it was now time to get up. Since he had seen that flyer about Grace's Grotto and he had to take the chance with it. There could be others like him, and maybe they can get some answers if this meeting is not a waste of his time, that is.

So he quickly got out of his bed, and before he left his apartment. Michael looked outside from his window and saw the rain as soon as he heard it."Of course, it has to be raining now." An annoyed Michael said to himself and put on a green rain jacket before leaving and closed and locked the door behind him.

It did not take long for him to drive to the library and park near the entrance. Limiting the time he had to endure that rain but still had his hood up to cover his head regardless. Upon getting inside and putting his hood down, he was greeted by a librarian, Ms. Winters. "Hello, Mister Dasher.

"Hello Ms. Winters," Michael said with a hint of respect.

She would nod and carry on her business, but he could tell that she was still watching him for some reason. Maybe she was curious why he was here and all.

Either way, Michael made his way to study room c and hoped that this was not some kind of trap and just a waste of his time. But as he got closer, he could hear voices coming from the room. So he is not alone but, still. He took a deep breath as he reached the door. How goes nothing, he thought nervously to himself and opened the door to the sight of three people. One he kinda recognized while the others not so much and stepped into the room and closed the room. "Hey, and am I late or not interrupting anything? I saw the flyer, and... here I am."

Yeah I am working on mine, just hitting some roadblocks along the way.

Landing in New World

I've got some interest.

What kind of tech level did you have in mind? Modern day or a little ahead? Or something else entirely?

@Crowvette

2025, so modern day is what I am aiming for for the player characters's gear and what not.

Landing in New World

Landing in New World

It was supposed to be a normal combat drop for a squad of the 3rd Special Forces Group. They were being deployed to the independent state of Puntland, it used to be apart of Somalia, in support of a Puntland operation against insurgents. They were deployed by HALO jump into the region. It was expected to go as planned, and the squad would assist Puntland forces.

However, during the jump, an intense storm suddenly formed in their path, and they were forced to descent through it. While the storm did not harm them, it did send members off course. But when they did pull their chutes and land. They would quickly discover that the mountainous environment they were supposed to land in, was replaced by a forest with no mountains in sight.

Now scattered away from each other and confused about where they are. These soldiers have to link up and figure out where they are. Eventually, learning that they are in a fantasy world, but something very bad has happened to it.

They have to navigate the land and its dangers to find a way back home. Along the way, they meet an assortment of people and creatures who can help or hinder those lost soldiers in their quest to return home while maybe helping this world in the process.

Whatever they decide to do, it will have consequences for this world and whether or not they can return home.

Rules:
1. Expected to follow standard site rules
2. No godmodding or powergaming or etc...
3. No OP characters
4. A max of one character
5. Minimum of one paragraph

Overview

Hello and welcome to the rp. In this Gate-like rp(If you are familiar with Gate anime or manga or not), you will be playing as spec ops members of the United States 3rd Special Forces Group that was assigned to a squad to help Puntland in an operation against insurgents. Only during their HALO jump after passing through a sudden storm. They find themselves in an unknown place, a diffident world. A post-apocalyptic fantasy world as they will discover. Where they will explore and meet the locals they come across as they try to find a way home.

Now, in regards to the characters, they can be what you want, male or female, as it makes sense for them to be there. For character pics, go for drawn pics. As for player slots, as I have discovered, squads are bigger than four people, it turns out, so the maximum possible size of the squad will be twelve or fourteen. But the total size of the squad depends on how many people join at the start. NPCs will fill the slots not taken if needed. Which if more people join, then they will take the spots of the NPCs.

As for the post-apocalyptic fantasy world, it will be revealed as the characters explore it, find out what happened to it, and discover the ills that plague it.

So that is it, and if anyone has any questions, then feel free to ask.
