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.

I think the five post limit is fine, it keeps us from mopping the dolls that got sent at us they have already lost a few numbers already.

Ooh, interesting power and character choice, I like it! You're accepted. You're officially now part of the Crest team! I'll  put you in immediately. What color would you like to be represented on the map?

 

 

Thank you very much. Hmmm... I'll be Mustard Yellow.

I'm joking, lol. Do you not use Reddit or Imgur? Legit question right here.

Exactly.

 

Maybe he could do beast manipulation? Allows the person to create/manipulate/change genes in species he knows a lot about to make them into whatever he wants them to be? Unlike evolution-based, this is more like selective breeding and cannot be preformed on humans at all but can be used to encite feelings of love for one-another? Just as a neat side-effect.

 

THis has been discussed  it could go horribly wrong...

How about YES.

But it would also be totally badass.

 

Besides, it would build up to that, when we're all totally awesome warriors anyway.

a quick gen character game?

WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I WAS TRYING TO COMMISSION MY OC?!?!?! *cries*

I would do this for Ailder, however his messy hair can't be contained In a generator.

I'm actually surprised i didnt arrive home to my notifications bursting there was much less to go through then what i expected

That's mostly for the reasoning that I haven't put an update post yet and most people have hit their post limit. I'm currently in the middle of quite a bit of work, but in a little bit I should have some time to check through all the posts and make sure I'm caught up and then post an update. Tomorrow should be more hectic as I'll have more time to oversee the RP throughout the day.

haha it wasnt even just the roleplay i was referring to it was more the discussion thread i was thinking about i was half expecting to arrive home to another couple ranting 5 pages long or something like that  haha

Alysa looks really good!

Well I don't need to do mine, Maxwell looks exactly like the picture shown in his sheet

 

but I'l go back to saying this, I can't help but find Alysa so cute!

I wish I could draw Yuki, I don't have the skills! DX.....

Name: Jay Caliburn

 

Ability of Creation: Vision

 

In a sort of way, Jay is a copycat: what he sees that isn't necessarily developed in the City, he can remember and then replicate their properties. It depends on the creations of other characters instead of deriving from himself.

 

Age: 19

 

Gender: Male

 

Appearance:

 

 

 

Personality: Jay was never the "goody two-shoes", and never pretended to be. If he was gonna do something, it's 'cause he wanted to. Usually a hard head, he'd only spend his listening time towards others when there was a problem he could fix. Don't be fooled by his cold exterior - he's a bit of a softie on the inside, and holds a secret that he won't forget.

 

Background: Jay grew up alone, ate alone, and did almost everything he wanted to do from afar. He made his life savings by selling off pieces of art he drew around his city, and painted, sculpted, played music, and created poems. His artistic mindset, even when asked to join groups or even professional teams, thrived when he was left to himself, which was what he did. He'd only help those who he thought were in dire need of it, such as school fights that got too brutal or stick-up robberies, with wit and awareness of his surroundings.

I knew this ability would end up getting to this RP! I knew it!, well as long as it keeps limited to only one power being copied at a time I guess its cool.

Well, one ability at one time, yeah. AND since he's a jack-of-all-trades, it's gonna be weaker and more unique, in a way.

You'll see.

I wonder which group he'll get placed in......Oh boy! What if he's with us?

Well he'l probably copy Ailder's powers the potential in those are GOD DAMN HIGH!

 

Maxwell can't even do stuff like extremely quick combos and massive thunderstorms until end-game AND supercharged

 

Im gimping him too much...
