[Clouded Sun 1,232]

The story of Gifted is a prototype outline for a game I plan to create in the future. As a brainchild of sorts, I'm finally putting this story in the hands of the people — my awesome friends at KH13. I can't wait to see your characters, reactions, and everything in between! Thanks guys for participating or watching, and enjoy the show!

Everyone is unique in their own way. No matter how similar a trait may be, no two scientists think the same, no two singers sing the same, no two artists draw the same, and no two people are the same. Some say it is the Gift of the Heavens, passed down from their God or Goddess to each person, an imprint on a person spiritually. Others believe it is the natural Gift of the world - just like DNA and fingerprints, so too must this uniqueness be solely idiosyncratic.


What is a Gift?

Every person has something that makes them distinctly themselves. Their "Gift" reflects their personality and potential. Gifts are classified as one of two types:

Ingenium

A Gift that can range from absolutely anything that the person is particularly good at. Dancing, poetry, music, photography, martial arts, archery, fishing — almost anything you can imagine that you'd state “That person has talent” can be a Ingenium Gift. These Gifts are either meant to link to and enhance the personality of a person, or throw a curveball of what you'd expect a person to be like (for example, a person whose Ingenium had to deal with being able to persuade people during public speaking events is actually rather shy and timid). A Ingenium Gift must be very specific in nature. Even if the Ingenium Gift covers a ubiquitous range of artistry (a Jack-of-All-Trades), they must have a specific way of doing it. For a singer, perhaps, the person may be able to sing very well a certain type of genre of music. Or, a person may be able to sing a broader scope of music, but with their own flair.

Potentia

A Gift that represents a supernatural power. These can be magical or physical, from pyrokenesis to pure brute strength. The powers may or may not reflect anything about a person, but as a person grows, their Potentia Gift grows too. This is mostly attributed to the “experience” they've had, including quality of life or lack thereof, whether they've made good or bad choices, their obstacles and how they've overcome them, etc. A Potentia Gift then becomes more helpful or more destructive, and can often times lead people with ill intent to become consumed in their greed to evolve it into something disastrously destructive.

Everyone possesses both an Ingenium Gift and a Potentia Gift. Under special circumstances at birth, a person may obtain two Ingenium Gifts. Often times, however, this leads to a disability among said person.

Sectilis

The world of Sectilis is beautiful, vast and varied. The world consists of 37% water, 40% of which is directly drinkable, but thanks to certain advancements in science, all of the water in the world can be accessed. Four major continents span the land: Rinde, Lieth, Pollis, and Scient, each with a different backstory, culture, and general natural beauty.


Rinde is the first established continent on Sectilis. Full of trees, wildlife and untouched natural habitat, the Rinde continent is also the number one continent for exported natural resources. Rinde spans a beautiful culture, appreciated by religious and scientific minds alike, including waterfalls, rivers, coastal beaches, and rich islands. As much as Rinde is beautiful, it is also dangerous. Monsters and vicious animals prowl the night, tearing apart the unsuspecting person who trespass their territory. It is said that dragons inhabit a certain island on the land, and those who have tried to chart the land have never returned. Rapid waters have enough pressure to crush any creature that comes across it.


Lieth is a continent whose rough start and heavy endeavor reflect upon the fruits of labor. Lieth was a barren land, destitute and vast. At first, Lieth was uninhabitable by any creature other than sand monsters, who were competitive among one another to survive. However, through persistence, people built civilization among the land. It provided a new look to Lieth, a once barren land that became a mechanized world of artificial beauty that hosted monsters and animals alike. But the yet uninhabitable places on Lieth remained a grave danger, as the monsters who previously inhabited the land have resided in the habitat after millennia of adaptation… And they've grown even stronger.


Pollis, although considered a continent, is actually not a large land mass. Instead, it is the mass of islands clumped together across Sectilis. Scientists believe that the continent used to be just one land mass, but constant tremors shook these lands apart. Volcanoes, resorts, and tropical territory dot the islands of Pollis, yet each culture and set of natural resources is vastly different. While one island may bear beans and rice, for example, another is the perfect place to grow bananas. Therefore, there is a different taste of life in each and every place in Pollis.


Scient is an ancient and mysterious land, which beyond some tribes, is mostly uninhabited. The continent is littered with inexplicable phenomenon, powerful creatures, hieroglyphs, and ancient structures. Beyond science and religion, this continent is a world of wonder in and of itself.

Religious Belief

Those who believe in a God or Gods believe that they have blessed people with Gifts. The Gods’ Gifts are reminiscent of their calling in life, and in choosing to follow this calling, the Gods will eternally bless them.


The most common religious beliefs include

Belzivue

A religion in which a single God who has love for all whom believe in him. He blesses each and every child with the Gifts, given at birth and said to be cultured and ready to behold during the Ethereal Soaking. The Ethereal Soaking can occur at any age, but mostly when a child comes about an age of five, in which they begin what is called the “Ripening”. Those who come of age at 16-18, or the “Crescent Age” must then begin a pilgrimage to a sacred land, one of five places in the world said to host the holy God’s spirit, who will guide you to your calling and keep peace to the world. Those who follow the religion are known as “Belliths” of God, and those who do not are regarded, to these “Belliths” as “Boruths,” unholy and sinful people who do not walk the way of God.

Lillianth

A religion that involves multiple Gods who have each taken a liking to certain people. A certain person or family is said to have been blessed by a God. Under that God, they are instructed to do good, bad, or indifferent to please them, and that God will show mercy. “Lillianths” believe that one day, their God will descend upon the world and give them good fortune. Gods in this religion include:

Jesuit - The Savior of Time. In the War of the Gods, before the world was created, time was fought over. Time cultured everything; the evolution of the planets, the alignments of the stars —everything was influenced by time. Those who had power over Time had the most influence upon the universe, until the neutral God Jesuit heralded the World that the Gods would watch over. In it, time would be distributed equally, and the disastrous flow of the planets that the universe was in would keep the universe from crumbling. Jesuit was credited with creating the world and watching the over the Gods. Those who follow Jesuit are said to one day save the world.

Ino - The Maiden of Beauty. Ino believed that slow, simple cultivation created the most beautiful of things. Before the War, she desired for all in the universe to grow and react slowly and beautifully. Ino only blessed women, but these women were said to be among the most beautiful of the world. Their Gifts grew slowly and freely, and as time went on, they became much more powerful than the masses. In short, women who followed Ino are often both beautiful and powerful.

Infern - The Beseecher of Chaos. Infern recognizes the power that chaos and conflict bring. Infern wanted control over time in order to strengthen the universe. As meteors clashed and asteroids crumbled, he believed that the matter in the world would grow stronger as time passed. Those who follow Infern are said to have great bursts of power, and become rulers of political and militaristic endeavor. They are also quickly skilled at their craft.

Collian - The Sentinel of Order. Collian believes that the even flow of time will keep from disaster. Before the war, Collian wanted to protect the old order of time. Those who follow Collian are the protectors of the people, and hold their duty as those who keep that which disrupts at bay.

Detra - The Wanderer of Wisdom. Detra believes that time must be paced with new discovery. All that stays the same is irrelevant - but new discovery represented new answers, and new questions bred her mind to follow the will that discovery brought. Detra wanted time to herself as a tool that would help her not only discover new things, but revisit the old. Those who follow Detra are adventurous explorers, who seek power through knowledge about the world.

Croianth

A religion that bases Gods as spirits of nature. The Gifts are granted by each God based on certain rituals and offerings given to the God after birth. This offering promises a tie to said God based on what the offering is and where it is offered. Often times, this influences the person’s Gifts. Throughout the life of the person who follows beneath a God, that person will constantly encounter a certain talisman that represents them.

Common Gods include:

Traius - God of Plants
Stratus - Goddess of the Stars
Burius - God of the Soil
Hydrius - Goddess of the Water
Firius - Goddess of the Flame
Helius - God of the Air
Tartius - God of the Wild
Darlius - Goddess of the End

Although the Gods in Croianth have certain preferences, the people who believe in Croianth, or Croianthists, believe that it is important to recognize all the gods of nature in Sectilis. If the God was unsatisfied, they were believed to have caused natural disasters.

Science

Scientific feats are evolving, mostly on the continent of Lieth. Ways in which power can be enhanced, for example, or where medicine is improving are constantly being discovered. Science has created advanced weaponry (flaming blades and robotic arms come as more advanced structures) as well as common day-to-day necessities (cell phones that can project holograms and send "attachments", as packages through digital signals, and near-instantaneous transportation across Lieth).. Scientific theory also spans through Sectilis, including theory about the planet’s creation. Scientific paragons believe that the Planet grants people Gifts for various reasons, including environment, culture, and quite possibly the Planet's “health”. Scientists are unsure of how Sectilis in particular is being affected, but throughout research can develop a theory that the planet does have a sort of “well-being” or “health”.

Science outside of Lieth is far less typical, however. Rather than advanced tech, there are typical medieval and Rennaissance-like technology. Old fashioned swords, spears, guns, and daggers are the most common, crafted by blacksmiths. Although there are many blacksmiths, those with The Ingenium Gift are believed to be geniuses, albeit only few in the world. However, these weren't simply forged in the old way - these weapons are magically enhanced, thanks to the abundance of natural resources and those with a very specific Potentia Gift. There are also weapons believed to be divine scattered across Sectilis, according to those with religious beliefs.

Magic

Magic is a phenomenon that neither science nor religion explains very well. Extracts of the planet are found all over Sectilis, but Rinde by far has the most magical deposits in all of the charted parts of Sectilis. Gods and divine beings are said to hold the least aptitude for magic, with some only able to absorb and fire minor casts while others aren't compatible at all.

To be taught to weild Magic, people go to special masters who often have the Potentia Gift to weild and conjure their own magic. The person goes through rigorous environmental endurance tests guided by the masters, taught to recognize the magical deposits of Sectilis, and taught to craft magic before being taught how to use it. This training takes months to master, and often times, disciples decide to learn one branch of magic then rest before taking on another discipline. The sheer amount of effort is exhausting at best, and most times draining.

Known Magic from the Planet include Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Lightning, and Plasma, from easiest to weild and craft to hardest.

Species

Sectilis has a variety of species across the planet, but among the most intelligent are the Ryuh, Gin, and Toria.

Ryuh - Humanoid beings. They are the most adventurous and curious out of all the species, and also have the broadest range of knowledge. As such, human beliefs are varied, and have adapted to every habitat.

Gin - Giant beings. A very well versed species in power, brute force, and tactical intellect. This race is known for its survival ability and acute sense for tapping into the power of nature.

Toria - Animalistic beings. A species that is the most attune with nature. This species have a sixth sense, thanks to whatever animalistic trait they display. For example, a Panther-Tori may have more acute night vision along with a black tail or ears.

Other beings across Sectilis include:

Valkyrie - Sub-Divine beings. This species is said to have the closest connection to the Gods, whomever they were. According to legend, their power was just a fraction of the Gods, a power that could destroy an entire country. However, the Valkyrie's power was taxing; their power, although powerful at first, would want with time. Due to emotional distress and sacrifice, it was very rare that they could reach Ascension as minor Gods, but for as much power as they gained, they lost in humanity slowly.

Succubus - Devilish beings. Seductive and sexy females that tempt other species to preserve their life force. Although the Succubi are feared by the other species of Sectilis, they are actually an unfortunate species that has to rely on others to survive. The lifespan of a average Succubi without stimulation is only 3 years, but with a partner, the lifespan can extend to nearly 200 years. A single, primary partner can be formed with a Succubus in a process known as the "Eternia Pact". In turn for providing Stimulation for the Succubus, the Stimulator is granted a tie to the Succubus' life span, causing the Stimulator regardless of species to live a much longer lifespan than normal. The Succubi's Potentia Gift grows stronger with their lifespan extended as well. Succubi always have either a spiked or club-like tail.

 

Wildlife

 

 

Lieth

Heba - A poisonous reptile with the appearance of a salamander. Small and palm-sized, and very competitive of territory and mating.

Boutilis - Beautiful butterfly-like creatures whose clear wings refract light in a way that makes them glow in color. Serves no purpose but looking beautiful.

Kedi - Large tiger-like Liethan cats. Mainly found around Adatoire in a symbiotic relationship (adatoire provides, defense and moisture, and the Kedi protect them from predators), but may stray away from a group if a mother must give birth to kin, or due to lack of food.

Adatoire - Turtle-like amphibians whose shell is made out of the mass of hard rock. It creates and repairs its shell if a significant part of it has broken off by secreting a special gluey liquid. The liquid, after drying, allows the turtle to channel its glue throughout parts of the shell that need it or retract nutrients, like rain, into the turtle's back, like veins and arteries.

Tithl - A hybrid cat-wolf species, as large as 274.32 cm (9 ft) long, and 60 cm (2 feet) wide. Have powerful, sabre-like teeth, and incredible intelligence when hunting prey. Females are very competitive for territory, while males compete for the right to females.

 

 

 

The world of Sectilis is wondrous. You will be able to take part in it and shape your own future. Your choices will make who you are. As you discover the mystery of this wondrous world, you will encounter those with ill intent, fantastical beasts, heartbreak, and difficult choices. For whatever your calling in life, be it love, world domination, the will of your God, or curiosity, may your venture be fortunate.

Rules:
-Cursing is allowed, but really, don't get excessive about it.
-Romance is allowed and encouraged to an extent. You may add intimacy and even pervy comedy (like anime level), but please, not too much. If you have questions about what you can and can't add, please PM me with what you're attempting, and be sure to include the person you want to involve, if there is one, so that I know they're in approval.
-I will be enforcing a two-week posting limit. If you have gone a week and a half without posting, I will warn you. If you have gone two weeks without notifying me, the plot will move on, and I'll make sure to warn you again. If you do not post within a month without notice, your character will be taken control of and/or exited from the RP in whatever way makes sense. If you notify me after the two weeks are up, and have a circumstance in which you couldn't post before and/or can't post, I will take it into consideration, but please make sure to PM me. Anyone that knows me knows I'm very generous when it comes to situations, and if you find that you want to come back, I'll do my best to keep you up to date however possible. In the case that I have been two weeks late, I will excuse anyone since the time I've been gone too.
-No Godmodding. Again, I won't bark down your throat. A simple edit will have me satisfied.
-If you are confused or have any questions, please PM me (not chat). I'll gladly help you out.
-Don't be disrespectful to other RP'ers. This goes without saying, but I want everyone to have a bunch of fun.
-No posting limit. Get as free as you want - this is your story. If I want things to stay on course, I'll notify you.
-STORY HEADINGS (Optional for players, but to avoid confusion in the story, I will make these headers in every post.)

Author's Note
This is a prototype for the story of a video game I plan to begin development on. As such, I'd love feedback by RP'ers and non-RP'ers alike. To those watching and those playing, I'd really appreciate dialogue in the Sign Ups and Discussion. Hit me with constructive criticism, fire me with positive feedback, and don't hold back about anything you like or dislike about the RP.

I'll be running this RP very differently from most other RP's. I will have lots of player influence and I will even be willing to build a side story around a few characters at a time. In these side stories, you can explore your character more, go off with other RP'ers for romantic, expository, or training purposes. You will even be able to add in your own religion, Gods, scientific organizations, races, and other things. PM me if you're interested.

Good luck guys! I'll update the OP with my own character soon after making some edits!

Clouded Sun's Characters

Name: Solace Ardent ("Sol")
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Ryuh
Appearance:
FACE:

Sol has dark hair that travels to the bottom of his chin in length and a strand is parted to the right of his face. He has a slight caramel complexion. Solace is slim, but toned in muscle and has silver eyes normally. He wears black boots studded at the shin, black jeans, a sleeveless dark blue jacket with a gear insignia and sleeveless black tank top, fingerless blue-and-black leather gloves, and a small diamond stud on his right ear.
Ingenium Gift: Adept at cooking. His cuisine shines through hot, exotic pastries and meaty meals.
Potentia Gift: Eyes of the Insomniac: Sol can change his physical ability in battle depending on the color of his eyes, which are silver otherwise. With each ability, however, comes a crippling side effect.

EMERALD: Able to jump higher and run faster, at the cost of physical frailty. He takes hits harder and deals them weaker. To escape some attacks, Sol can also dematerialize into green smoke for a maximum of 1.5 seconds at a time.

Background: Solace grew up a blind child. With scientific advancement reaching an all-time high during his birth in Lieth, scientists wondered if they could not only restore a person's lost body function, like eyesight or hearing, but if they could also implant a Potentia Gift into that person. This practice was considered highly unethical by religious followers and even other scientists in Lieth, but the operation went on anyway to restore the boy's sight. Days after the operation, the laboratory disappeared.

As he grew, Solace began to strangely be much more athletic than his peers, and his eyes would become green whenever playing with other kids at around 10 unconsciously. Over the years, however, Sol has become able to control his Potentia Gift by 16.
Personality: Sol is expressive, but it's hard for him to articulate exactly how he feels. He sometimes makes decisions in the spur of the moment, and often times thinks in the spur of the moment. Solace grew hating responsibility and especially being left in the dark, yet, his basic goodness is always intact.
Weapon, if any: The Ring: Not having a Gift for engineering discouraged Sol a bit, and he came up with many failed experiments despite constant hard work. His only successful creation is The Ring, a brilliant, seemingly unbrilliant piece of jewelry able to emulate the atomic structure of a weapon and create a physical, cyan-glowing 3D replica of it. The Ring is very unstable, however, so after 30 minutes of use, it overheats and the replica shatters until The Ring cools.
Religion, if any: Agnostic. He has... reasons.
Other important info:
-Although his Gift is cooking, he loves to mess around with mechanics. Sadly, his only successful creation is the highly unstable Ring.
-Sol suffers from depression sometimes, where he feels he's not "good enough." He doesn't show it, but instead masks this in his work.
-Sol has vivid dreams and wicked nightmares. An abrupt wake up is not out of the norm.

Can those following Lillianth follow more than one God? And is there anything on someone ascending to become a god? Oh. And what type of races inhabit this place? I didn't see that, so I'm assuming only Human for now. But I just want to be sure~

I was in the middle of adding races but I got exhausted as hell after spending almost all day on this~ Promise it'll be up soon. 

Right now I have the typical MMO races. The elf, the human, the giant, the part-animal part-human such and such blah blah blah

 

Those following Lillianth can follow two Gods. However, I hope that you add some context in about how sometimes following one God can anger another. These Gods practically hate each other, but as long as you appeal to both Gods, you'll be fine. Just keep that in the back of your mind. 

 

You can ascend to a God... But I'm going to limit that case. I'll make an exception for you because I know how much you love to play as Gods So what I'll do is ask that you add something as a sacrifice. Eternal power must come with a cost. Whatever that cost may be is up to you, but I want the Ascension to be impactful in that way.

What's the level of tech in this world? We going for Fantasy, Futuristic, Modern? Some kind of Hybrid? I see Science mentioned, but just thought I'd ask so I'm completely clear.

 

Also, just to be clear, no character limit? And when you say "Supernatural" for Potentia Gifts, like superpowers? Magic?

Technology depends on the region. Those who live in Lieth are naturally more accustomed to technological advancement Vs. The rest of the world. I'd say the highest tech level involves a modern-futuristic blend.

 

No character limit. Get as crazy as you want. But remember, I can only handle a certain amount of side stories at a time — it is best that sometimes, we go as groups and sometimes individually.

 

Potentia is anything of the scope of imagination. Powers can include magic, physical ability, anything of the sort. Guess I should update the OP with this to make it a bit more clear.

Character Sheet

Name: Zion de Wynter, the Goddess of Light

Age: 19 (at time of ascension)

Gender: Female

Race: Valkyrie (formerly), Divine Being

Appearance:

Ingenium Gift: Swordplay - Dual-Wielding

Potentia Gift: To Be Queen: Alongside her innate telekinetic skills, Zion has the Potentia Gift to utilize both the elements of Light and Dark. This gives her a unique perspective into each, making her a far better Goddess of Light than most would think.

Background:

Once the Queen of the Valkyries, a sub-race of the Animalistic Humans that coexisted with the many races of the world, Zion's people were dying. With the loss of the God of Light, Odin, their power waned, their kingdom falling. Even when Zion wed the Succubus Queenmother, Xiona Memoria, ending the Valkyrie-Succubus feud, they still faced ruin. She knew that, in the end, someone would have to replace Odin...and so she made the journey, alongside her wife. Together Zion and Xiona scaled the Mountain of Light, and together they faced the challenges. Together they climbed, both seeking to save the Valkyries - for the Succubi had long wished to end the feud and become friends, and for the Valkyries, they longed to forgive the Succubi for their past. But factions had controlled them, and it was the forbidden love of Zion and Xiona that had saved them. For the Heirs to the Thrones had wed, showing there was nothing left but pride and bitterness, hatred and time. Things one could shed and let go, and now, together, to ensure the peace of the two forever stayed, did a Valkyrie and Succubus scale the mountain.

 

But at the top, the final trial was sacrifice. Zion, whose heart was pure and whole, radiating a light so honest and pure...she could not find a thing she was willing to sacrfiice. Despite her race facing loss of everything, from wings to magic, falling to the mercy of anyone who came to fight them, she could not sacrifice anything. Her heart was so innocent...she had believed she could win. But the ancient magic that mad gods was steadfast, and that was when the fateful duel happened. Xiona lunged at her wife, her twin Stygian Iron swords forming Two Become One. 

 

The legend says the battle lasted years, decades. The myth said in the Valkyrie's Capital City of Luxanna Prime claim the battle was no less than a a century, as, while Xiona was a formidable Queen and powerful fighter, Zion was born of the Magic of Dawn, forged in the darkness that was Arx Tenebris, and purified by Frigg's grace. Her skill was unmatched even by Xiona, and it was Zion who refused every killing blow. She refused to strike down a single person she loved, she even refused to outright kill on the battlefield. It was her greatest flaw, but the respect from both the Valkyries and Succubi, not for her weakness, but the strength of her compassion and love, overshadowed it. It was a reason that peace was on it's way - she did her best to minimize casualties, to drive away, not drive through. And it was in the end, that this great love was used against her. Xiona had put her weapons down and give up, and as she kissed her wife...Zion had lowered her guard. Xiona grabbed her wrist and yanked it up, and impaled herself on the golden sword through her chest. Xiona's kiss always had thrown Zion off, but now, as blood splattered her face, her golden hair, her voice was gone. All she could do was catch Xiona, and hold her. 

"You can't save everyone, Zion...the needs of the many...will always outweigh the few...No...no don't cry...I'm here...I'll always be here..."  Zion had saved her people...but at the cost of the only woman she had ever loved. She now had ascended to Godhood, become the Goddess of Light needed to power her people and give them the strength to stand against the tides of darkness and cruelty....but she ascended alone. 

 

She had lost the one person she loved. And she vowed to get her back. So now, Zion wanders the world below, looking for the one way to get her wife back...the one way to find the only person who made her smile so bright, the sun seemed dim.

Personality:

Zion is a very kindhearted, compassionate girl. Despite losing her dearest Xion, she has refused to stop being kind, even if she has fallen into a trench where she is heading for one thing. She is obsessed with getting Xion back, even if it means she has to sacrifice her species' special abilities...she's willing to give everything for her wife back, even if it means she is the last Valkyrie...even if she must lose her immortality. Eternity in the underworld with Xion is preferable to her than eternity without her.

Weapon, if any: Forward Unto Dawn and Two Become One - both can split in to to form two swords each - couple with her telekinesis, allows her to wield four swords at once. (Forward Unto Dawn is pictured - blue one is Lux, and the black one is Veritas).

Religion, if any: Pff, she IS a religion.

Other important info:

-Lesbian

-Polyamarous

-Gets crushes easily. Love...is hard.

-Valkyric Armor of a New Dawn: PICTURE

I will accept... But I'd like to know how your Potentia Gift would evolve over time. As a Goddess, you'd be plenty powerful, and possibly OP at the start (I'm going to try to find ways to balance this out before we start...), but I'd like to promote character development above all else. Your Potentia Gift is a sign of growth, and karmic choices will be critically at play.

 

Also, you're missing the personality part as well. I don't fault you. My brain is a mosh too.

OP updated with more about Science. This also provides insight on weaponry outside of Lieth. In the Species group, I've also added the Valkyrie race.

Updated the OP with how Magic works. Main point is, those with the Potentia for Magic have the highest apitude for it, and anyone beneath them must learn from them.

 

Also added the Succubus race.

Accepted!

 

Pretty glad that you gave her an Engineer Ingenium Gift. I was on the fence about whether or not my character should have it.

 

Do remember, everyone: Anyone can know anything in the world. Knowledge is just about limitless. The ones with Ingenium Gifts in that trade are regarded as "geniuses" of a sort. That's why it takes a genius to teach the rest.

 

My character/s will be up before the day ends, but I'm waiting on a certain something so I can get their appearances. I might start the RP with their appearance description, but I'll try to see what I can do.

And I am looking forwards to seeing your character(s)!

Oh sorry! I forgot to update the character sheet with "Species" Mind putting that down?

 

 

----------------------------------------

Updated the OP with my character. Within the next two weeks, I'll post what he actually looks like (The end result I'm hoping for is a younger version of the guy in my profile pic for reference)

Think I'll begin the RP rather soon, and just leave it open for others to join. A small crew isn't bad at all. Does tonight work?

If Nyx could warp and shit in Kingsglaive, while Noctis could do the same in the game, theres no reason to not have two characters with seemingly identical abilities.

 

Except mine will be void, pure nothingness.
