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.

Yeah, I'll lend temporary control, but just be sure to not kill anything too quickly or make your person too powerful. Fairly soon on I'll be controlling more and more of the NPCs and they will be more of a challenge.

Well le chef might try to cook the damn things...it doesn't get more silly than that

Le Chef's move is intended to limit the creature's movement. By covering it in flour, then dousing it in water, the flour will harden and stick, making the beast be more limited. Rather clever. And trust me on this reaction, I speak from experience. It sucks when you don't want it to happen.

 

Also, Yuffie's back!

 

Absolutely exhausted and miserable, but back nonetheless.

Seriously,I hate a moment where I'm only active where all my teammates weren't online. Time to make my own solo journey...

There's always that feeling Haz. Always that feeling...Waiting.....Waiting...For someone....

Hey MDS just a quick question in regards to this rule do we take it into consideration when fighting against the Dolls or can we control their movements a little so we can get a little more depth into the posts we do when fighting them or do we leave all doll movements up to you just a little curious

Either consult the RP guide, or just wait until I post if you want. I know the proper combat etiquette for RPs

Just a heads up: I'll be at work for pretty much all day, so my posting will probably be stilted.

-_- I've been roleplaying longer then you you dont need to explain roleplay etiquette to me and MDS answered my question 

I... have returned.

 

Expect angry Russian Tsundere fun soon enough!

That works too then. I'll be watching your post to see if I can improve the guide anymore

Trying to figure out if i should take this as a complement of you using me as a guide to your guide for roleplaying or you underestimating my roleplaying which would annoy me 

Okay that's it. I'm gonna leave the group once the battle was over. Called it.

Come to Maxwell's group, we have a great chef!, we can open any doors and there will never be a shortage of energy!

And we have mechs powered by forsaken children.

 

Not much different than other mechs, I suppose.

I rather being alone than being with the team that I might missed on most of the team battles because of the different timezone that we had. But then again,a food from the great Chef seems interesting...

Plus, we have a good Saiyan with a Red Monkey Tail! He can also create soft clouds, so if you ever need to rest, just ask him!

I fell asleep.

 

Seriously...

Well, I mean, I've been RPing longer than he has too, and I still learned stuff from the guide. He's never claimed to be perfect, and has always looked for more suggestions and content from others to improve the guide. So, really, he is being nice.

It's under the Roleplaying Guides Topic.

I have finally done it!

 

I have posted.

 

Natasha... really isn't happy.

It's under the Roleplaying Guides Topic.

got it and huh I'm surprised with the amount of detailed work in this allot of time must of went into this must applaud Javelin for that much 

"Natasha Keys!" Yuki rushed to the doll that hit Natasha. He shot out a sun orb at the doll which hit it fortunately. Then he span and hit it with his shining red tail powered by his sun energy which pushed the doll back and it hit the wall. He then ran over to Natasha. He shot out a sun orb at her, healing her, without asking if she was hurt. "Wow! I never knew I could heal with this! Don't feel bad about your powers Natasha Keys. It makes a new last name for you! Heh heh heh heh heh!

3) Using the light/darkness as a literal power/element.Listen, I know this is a Kingdom Hearts forum. It's just that it's really stupid. I'm mostly talking about the whole SUMMON BEINGS OUT OF SHADOWS / LIGHT HEALING kind of thing. Look, when you're out in the sun and you start being superpowered, you might as well just make your character a plant. I mean, how are shadows supposed to suddenly come to life? What, can you make The Blob out of a pitch dark room, too?Also, when they have a priest use a light-based power to heal, it's generally holy power. Not solar power. 

 

The Protoman excerpt is from one of the guides (not the one Jav wrote)

 

 

I'm sorry, but it simply makes no sense. At all. I was kind of ticked that you somehow used weather to make yourself shine really really bright, or somehow shoot an orb of sunlight at somebody, but using sunlight to heal somebody simply does not function. If the sun could do that, we would have no need for hospitals. We could just walk outside into the sunlight and be like, oops, all better!

It makes me wonder, how much sense does Aro's power make? I tried to make it hold some logical sense (it follows the laws of conservation of mass--her powers do not create mass nor destroy it, just that it simply takes matter and turns it into something else), though I suppose if I explain it more, it might help the suspension of disbelief.

Yuki's power's are different. It isn't EXACTLY like the sun. It's just an element of power. We can mix it to how we want.
