Hi, everyone.  Vaude here with a new roleplay that I hope everyone will enjoy.  There will be action.  There will be romance.  But, chiefly, there will be cooperation.

This roleplay takes place as two parts:  within a safe haven where you can discuss things with your fellows and test your unique strengths in arena matches, and within the multi-universal worlds where you combat creatures both sentient and animal with your fellows.  Your purpose is unknown, but staying inside the safe haven without doing anything for too long (three weeks) causes you to disappear.  With every disappearance, however, there is a new appearance.  Another unlucky, or lucky, person is brought to this safe haven, again with unique abilities that can help his or her comrades.

You must fight or at the very least assist to survive.  You are given food, shelter, robotic assistants that rebuild themselves, and ample amounts of time to improve yourselves and others, but you must prove useful to your community or risk being removed.  Three weeks is your allotted time before you must visit the many worlds that lay outside the gate to this sanctuary.

A job board will be provided in this RP to give people adventures and, thus, fun.  They are rated along the following tier system from lowest and least difficult to highest and most difficult:  Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Alexandrium.  Go as a group for the more difficult tiers, unless you like a challenge.  Your imagination is the only limit when fighting enemies.  Be as powerful as you'd like.

MAP OF THE HAVEN:

RULES:

Spoiler

The rules are:

0.)  Have fun.
1.)  No godmodding allowed.
2.)  No auto-hitting or killing each other.  The only exception there is to this rule is in the arena, where you may fight to the death without repercussion.  Dead characters inside the arena, or even in the sanctuary will be resurrected.  Characters who die in the many worlds will stay dead unless certain exemptions are made.  Phoenix feathers and elixirs of life are two such exemptions.
3.)  You are welcome to be powerful but not overpowered when fighting other roleplayers.
4.)  Keep what you post PG-13 and stick to the site's rules.
5.)  You are recommended and welcome to participate in the main plot.  However, if you decide against it, you may take on missions small and large and not worry about following the main plot.
6.)  You are able to have two characters at the most.  If you want another, one of your existing characters has to go.
7.)  Keep your characters original.  In other words, no official characters from any piece of fiction or non-fiction except of your own imagination.  You can, however, stick to a certain fictional universe.  Kingdom Hearts or Yu Yu Hakusho! or American Dragon -- any show, anime, game, or TV series is fine and dandy.
8.)  Please post regularly, if not semi-regularly.  Posting within two weeks is recommended to keep things flowing, and within three days for arena fights.  Take too long and I will a.) send a private message to either ask you to continue posting, b.) take control of your character, or c.) remove them temporarily or in whole from the roleplay.

THE MAIN AND SUB STORIES THUS FAR:

Spoiler

Main Story:  A large number of newcomers were brought to The Haven following the deaths of a band of six adventurers in a job of the most difficult quest ranking.  They learn of each other, what The Haven is, and go on two quests as newfound teams.  During one of the quests, a lich terrorizing a land was found out to be Aprameia, a previous Haven member, and was resurrected to do someone's bidding.  With the lich destroyed, secrets are being unearthed, and the man behind Aprameia's turning is thought to be the Spectacled Man, so nicknamed because of his prominent thin glasses.  He is currently still at large and being hunted.

Side Story:  A Haven member, Berybrillo (Uzumeashy), is seeking a cure for one of her people's diseases, by which she is afflicted.  A band of adventurers is currently aiming to gather a dragon's gallbladder to remedy her ailment.

[[Edit on 9/14/18:  Added age and race to the character sheet as optional possibilities.  Made tweaks to powers and weapons.  Added the rule of having two characters at most.  Added a directory to existing characters.

Edit on 9/15/18:  Finalised name for the RP and was changed on 9/18/18.

Edit on 10/21/18:  Edited links for characters due to server transition and appended the job board.

Edit on 2/6/19:  Changed layout and added shop list.

Edit on 4/29/19:  Changed layout due to lack of working spoiler labels and made "CHARACTERS RETIRED" list.

Edit on 5/19/19:  Added titles for quests which were removed by the renovation of the site.  Added "THE MAIN AND SUB STORIES THUS FAR" blurb.]]

Edited May 19, 20196 yr by Vaude

Reksis is accepted!  Somebody with void power would be pretty awesome, especially with the crowd control functions that Vortex grenades performed.  It will be useful in the future as well as in PVP options.

(Gonna edit later)

Edited September 20, 20187 yr by Scrapmaster

Can our characters see them? Or can only Henry see them?

Everyone can see and talk to them.

Edited September 20, 20187 yr by Scrapmaster

Sorry, Scrap, but I have to share a few concerns. While the elemental girls are mostly covered, they would not be taken well by the site and Google, so I would have to ask you to change Salamander's and Undine's pics or at least take a face shot of them that cuts out certain things. It is not me and my preferences, but rather something from third-party sources. I partly understand because what if a 7-year-old meanders onto this site and sees the images? Issues could arise on many fronts, and not just on KH13.

 

Also, Room 101, eh, Scrap? The one character heading there, likely an NPC, is going to think there is a glitch in the system. =P "There is no one there!" they will say. "Not even vomit!"

 

Heart, unfortunately, I have to ask the same for Galla's thumbnail picture. While it does not seem much, the dress might trigger a flagging for the site, however silly that it seems. Like Henry's spirits, a face shot or a new picture will be enough.

Understandable, i was worried about that actualy, i'l edit the images and post the face shots only, if Im able to later. For the moment I've taken down the images

 

As for room 101, Henry is so used for dimensional shifts his stomach doesn't even feel anything anymore.

Edited September 20, 20187 yr by Scrapmaster

Ah, so that is the deal with his not getting sick. I was not sure how parallel this Henry is to the OG Henry, so thank you for the clarification. Also, thank you for being such a good sport regarding this, both.

Edited September 20, 20187 yr by Vaude

That works perfectly! I was thinking of doing it myself but didn't have the chance to.

 

Thank's Ferria!

Happy to help

Nice work! This will be perfect. Thank you for your assistance, Heart.

Reksis, the Ignored. lol

 

I'm not especially bothered, really, but that poor little bugger.

Lukkel talked to him, he wasn't completely ignored.

For a few kicks and giggles, I threw in a few easter eggs into my post.  Enjoy.  Hopefully some of you can find both of them.

...You sneaky bugger.

You got it. =P

I was going to say so much, but decided against it. . Very clever,Vaude, very clever.

O-O .... i dont get it.
