Story Overview

 

2015, the modern day. Your lives were everything you thought them to be just yesterday. Dreams, aspirations, work, friends. The day-in-day-out routine of modern life. There were things to be counted on every morning you woke up; the place you lived, the people you knew, the person you were. Today that all changed. You didn't wake up in your home, nor your town, nor your country. You woke up in The City, and today your life changed.

 

Skyscrapers dot the landscape in various sizes and shapes, and the crisscross of roads is reminiscent of most of the huge metropolises of the world, but there is something different about The City from any urban area you've ever seen; it's pure white, from the buildings to the roads to the parks, and it's entirely empty. Only a select handful of people appeared in The City this morning, but beyond that there is not a soul in sight. The shops are empty, the buildings abandoned, and the streets eerily quiet. There is however, a dark foreboding in the air, as if  something darker and more malevolent lurks just beneath the chalky pavement; waiting.

 

But you arrival here changed not only your surroundings, but you as well. The City is not simply a stagnant husk, for you have the ability to change it. You have been given, or discovered within yourself, an Ability of Creation. In small ways at first, and soon in greater amounts, you can change The City. Perhaps you have the power to morph bits of building and road into weapons, maybe you can change the streets into a vehicle to move around in, possibly you can form keys and badges to unlock hidden areas. Each Ability of Creation will differ and match the person from whom it derives. And not only can you create from the foundation of the city itself, but as you do, you change its very fabric. Where you build colors spring and spread to nearby buildings and sidewalks. And as you complete certain strange challenges spread around the various districts the effects of your actions bring even more life to the white empty world. Bit by bit you can begin to bring The City to life.

 

And as you all wake you receive a strange message that seems to resound from within your mind itself. It is a woman's voice, but there is an odd element about it you can't seem to pinpoint. Something... wrong you sense as her voice seems to whisper in your ear.

 

"Welcome to this place. The City. You have many questions I am sure, and I am sorry to leave you in such a state of mystery, but some things must be discovered with one's own eyes, and this City holds many truths you must discover. You have gained powers unlike any human has ever known; the ability to shift the very foundation of your reality and build anew from it. You must use this power to bring life to this blank metropolis, district by district, overcoming obstacles and coming to understand many harsh realities. I shall be your guide through this place. My name is Q, and I will show you the way.

 

Welcome to The City."

 

Whatever the reason you are in The City, you have the tools and desire to discover it, and oppose the forces that may seek to destroy you. And you shall have people to fight alongside - and possibly against- as well, and together you may discover the nature of The City, your powers, and the reason you were sent here in the first place.

 

Structure Overview

Skyline is an open-world roleplay about creation, discover, and companionship. Players will be brought into The City in various groups, and from there can consult a world map (which will be provided and constantly updated in the RP thread) and travel to different districts to overcome challenges there to bring The City to life and discover the truth about both the place itself and about themselves. All throughout several mysterious characters may come into play, slowly unraveling the truth as they interact with the players. Players are free to move to various districts in their groups and contest the various challenges at each area to further the story. They can also switch between groups if two happen to come in contact. Overall, as the City will come to life, the story will come to light.

 

Rules

 

-No over-powered abilities; keep your powers reasonable and in check. They can grows as you all get more powerful, but never so much that you can effortlessly overcome another player.

 

-No taking control of other players

 

-No explicit sexual content. Romance is totally fine.

 

-One character per-player (The point of this rule is to force a player to focus on the actions of a single character so all the characters have a lot of relevance)

 

-Only five posts per-person between every updating post I make (basically any time I post as an NPC or detail a challenge) This is just to make sure we don't have rampant over-posting.

 

-Keep out-of-character chat generally relegated to the Signup/Discussion thread to keep the RP thread mostly on-point.

Four the bring some more.

 

We should all go party in a bus and drive all over the world singing "What is love" the whole time.

Name: Asher Sterben

Ability of Creation: the most powerful kind of flame fueled by both your mastery and your life force, the weaker you get the stronger it gets, you can sacrifice part of it and become more powerful for a short time, also fueled by your emotional state, changing colors to conform it. The flames are a manifestation of your life force, fiery and powerful.

 

Mood Colors:

Joy/Happy or Proud- A orange pink color

Love- A rose gold color

Sadness- Deep Grayish-Blue

Fear- Light purple

Anger- Deep Red

Normal state- Just regular fire color.

Age: 19

Gender: Male (SURPRISE)

Appearance:

 

Personality: Smartass, Know-it-all, Tsundere, he is obviously rather rude. However, Asher can be rather nice of you take the time to get to know him.

Background:

Sadly being an orphan and not being raised by proper parents, Asher has always been rather rude.

However, he was kicked from the orphanage at sixteen and was found by an older lady who let Asher welcome into her home.

Asher still is rude at heart, but the old lady tamed down his attitude a bit.

 

Very nice! You're accepted, can't wait to see you in the RP, Neko!

 

 

*rereads the description self put in the power section of self's character sheet*

MDS, did you get that the doubles would have the physical properties of the material they were made from as well as look like it? (Example, a concrete Jordan would look like a statue of himself with the weight and tensile strength of concrete.) A review of my description of Jordan's power made me wonder if I had not explained myself fully.

I didn't initially get that, but that's no issue at all, sounds like it may even liven things up depending on the location.

Very nice! You're accepted, can't wait to see you in the RP, Neko!

Cool. Sorry about that. I'll edit my character sheet to more accurately reflect the extent of Jordan's power.

Ship Lord's Second in Command's Pre Rp Ship List:

Natasha x Ailder x Maxwell

Alysa x Laciann

Aro x Asher

 

And that's... it.

 

Do not complain to me, complain to your peers for making ONLY 3 GIRL CHARACTERS

That's literally all there is. Three.

I agree with Mine, there isn't enough female characters, meaning all of them are being sought after WE NEED MORE FEMALES!

Hang on I'll change my char a little.

If thats ok.

Edited February 17, 201510 yr by Firo_Procheniezio

I made some char changes.

 

Does this help?

 

(char on page 3)

lol, now we have one more. I could hunt for a suitable ship... but I don't feel like it right now. RIKI YOU DO IT

I made some char changes.

 

Does this help?

 

(char on page 3)

 

Shipping in 3...2...1...

I really don't know if I'll let Aro be shipped. Her personality doesn't exactly fit being in a relationship with anyone. Maybe character progression will solve that!

but but

 

 

Neko x Silver must translate to Asher x Aro

 

Shipp offers anyone?

I really don't know if I'll let Aro be shipped. Her personality doesn't exactly fit being in a relationship with anyone. Maybe character progression will solve that!

Asher is also...very mean too.

 

Alright, here's the basic City Map we'll be using for the RP. The smaller rectangles represent the buildings of the city and the thicker black lines are the boundaries between districts. Each district will have its own distinct challenges and rewards for clearing them, after which the district will become re-colored and alive again. There are 12 districts in all, and the various groups will be visiting each one in one way or another as completion of each of the districts challenges is what is required to reach the RP's endgame. As you all move around he map I will mark everyone's positions, the positions of special events, and the positions of challenges or leads around the map so you know where to go. 

 

I will also color in the district that have been won on the map itself so you can see your progress as the RP goes on. This map will always be available in the main post once the RP opens. This is going to be a bit experimental as it deviates a bit from the more linear structures of previous RPs, but I'll also be adding in some "side-quest" content at times for certain groups and players, so a lot of where you go, what you do, and how you do it, will be up to each and every one of you!

May Kaworu smite down the evilness that is quota, for this is just awesome and as such deserves a like.

How much will the DLC for extra districts be

Edited February 17, 201510 yr by Silver Kuroi

Oh my gosh, look at all those black dot illusions in the image?

 

Serious note, looks cool.

WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME

 

i can never unsee it...

 

On another note, I assume that we as players can move from district to district as we please when we're not in a challenge or some other event right?

As Yuki would say.... "This place....IS SO HUGE!!!" But seriously though. It's like Zelda just crossed over to RPG style gaming!

Yup. Unlike previous RPs, it won't be challenge-to-challenge. Everyone can have as much downtime as they like,but at the same time there will always be a goal to move towards.

SOMEONE HAD TO DO IT

 

I'd say $19.99 for an expansion pack, and $4.99 for an extra Creation power. Costumes will be $1.99. Dibs on the Ezio Auditore robe.

If there's a Tales of pack I'll pay extra for it
