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.

Riki that battery will never go out of charge dude, in fact It might overcharge everything connected to it if its made...

No, not during battle, but in extended fights, we don't want them running out of power then becoming useless.

Hence...fusion reactors?There's a reason Freedom Gundam never needed a new battery...

We will need it.

Your forgetting I will likely empty every ounce of energy in that reactor and more firing Kamehameha's and Burning Fingers to destroy everything.

Riki.REACTOR.You essentially have a power plant in your Gundam. It's why Kira could beam spam every battle in SEED and SEED DESTINY. Fusion reactors aren't batteries, they are nuclear power plants.

Yuki's rainclouds can generate electricity. If Maxwell is unavailable, he could help generate it!

I know.

 

But

 

A beam of pure energy that is about 3 KM in diameter being spammed would put the system under extreme stress, especially when charging the energy and then releasing it in a very concentrated burst. Relying on the reactor, which when keeping the Gundam to a decent size, would be unwise without making it an external part, but a history of external parts and damage to them causing explosions happens often, as the reactor would need to be smaller in size, and as such cannot handle a lot of stress. Plus, if it's hit, a neucular power system will cause major damage to the city and possibly kill anyone caught in the radius(Which would be very big)

She can't be constantly doing that in fight, Oath, we need a backup battery.

 

That's what we've got Aro for

That's what we've got Aro for

We need her for the high-density energy shells and overall recharge when we have spare time.

This is sounding more and more like Neon Genesis Evangelion

 

MDS, are we gonna fight Angels? In fact, I raise a petition for Ramiel to be a boss

Why are we doing so much planning what are wonna assault anyway?

Please tell me you've watched that!

*Screams geometrically*

 

And I think the mechs should just run on Spiral energy. Save us the trouble.

Of course. We must kill god to become god.

I would love that, but I just don't think we have enough Shonen tenaciousness for that to work lol.

That's from 1.11, right? The only way that Ramiel could ever be that cool. Because it's AWESOME. *Plays Angels of Doom*

 

We must chat!

This is sounding more and more like Neon Genesis Evangelion

I can't reveal yet just what you may be fighting.

 

But if I were to pick an Angel, it would be Ramiel, mountains be damned.

Guys don't worry about, i know exactly who we'll fight

I toss in a vote for... Arael? Yeah, that's him. Arael.

*prays incessantly*

 

Just imagine it

 

There our groups stands, in the long abandoned North-East District. We do not know what we'll be fighting here, nor what puzzle or oddity might await us.

Then we hear it. It starts out as a melodious windchime, but it suddenly turns dark, and louder, as a nearly-visible rip in space and time opens and a massive blue dual-prism floats into view. It moves in a graceful, almost harmless way; its very movements let off a calm, beautiful noise.

 

But then it notices us. It suddenly shifts shape, transforming into an unfathomable mess of geometric shapes as the red core begins to glow. It lets out a high-pitch woman's scream and fires a massive beam of pure energy that lays waste to the buildings around us. The buildings are razed, turned to molten material before dissipating into pure nothingness.

 

We must now fight Ramiel, the Sixth Angel, and the Angel of hope.

 

Good luck.
