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.

Uhhh, no. Why would he die? Do you think the guy can't withstand the gravitational pressure that lies within a black hole? Also, I'm pretty sure I mentioned he travels faster than light speed. He has the means of escaping the gravitational pull of a black hole by moving faster than what it can pull him in. There's also nothing stopping him from just collapsing the black hole.

 

Meh, Maxwell can travel faster than light at full power too, considering that and that gravity has little effect on electrons, he can get out of the range...so I guess it checks out.

Ailder is a martial artist, he dosen't need to think To take aftion. In final form he can travel as fast as super charged sub particles(through particle manipulation of matter, he slows down all mater around it and absorbs their energy for acceleration of movement by forcing their momentum to transfer on him, giving him black hole escape speed), has a constant aura of magnetic force around him repelling attacks that he can extend or retract as he so sees fit and on instance of contact phase through objects. He changes the way things interact with the world. A huge, earthshattering and universe breaking explosion? Just generates flowers and baby rabbits everywhere instead.

 

So what you're trying to say is that it would be a tie.

Still, even if Maxwell can escape a Black Hole, he still wouldn't come close to actually defeating Nathan.

Not about defeating, Nathan can't kill Maxwell as well due to that same fact. so as I said it checks out, Maxwell won't be harmed by Nathan nor will he be harmed by him.

Challenge accepted means explain the power

Alright... This might take a while... Continue arguing while I create a five page document in Word on how his power works.

That's only under the assumption that Nathan continues using black holes. If Nathan decides to begin moving at thought speed, Maxwell wouldn't even know what hit him.

Welp.

 

This is the problem with creating a support character.

 

You see all these other people fighting, and can't do a thing.

Thats why mine can make guns.

I think I'll have Le Chef brew some beer in the next round and just start bootlegging it.

KEEEEEEEYYYYYSSSSSS are better. 

 

Also, I didn't recognize you for a few moments. 

Good idea dave!

Keys are useful guns even moreso 

Well, regardless of all this talk about how strong endgame Nathan. Nobody has told me his killer weakness yet... Guess I'll be keeping the 100 points for myself then!

 

Here's a clue, he has a certain habit that he himself is currently unaware of when using his powers.

He checks his Twitter too much, and it distracts him during fights.

Quite. It would likely end with a large explosion resulting in multiple destroyed bodies and a field full of lovely fluffy animals and flowers and Digieggs,

Unfortunately, he doesn't get reception in The City, so I'm afraid that is not the case. 10 Points for making me laugh though.

What is it with you and fluffy animals? Or could it be that they are the true god's behind the creation of the universe? *gasp*

Okay, I have now completed my form, detailing all of the potential powers for Nathan that I could think of. If only the Wi-Fi on my computer would begin working again, I could show you all why you would not want to face this guy in a battle.

I know what Nathan's weakness is its his creator the overly cocky Oblivion who will in turn be his creations own downfall

No... He has a much more obvious weakness that nobody seems to see! *laughs* Seriously, he does this habit every single time he uses his powers! Every time! If you can stop him from doing this one thing, then he would essentially become useless!

Just saying, but this weakness only applies before Nathan gains matter creation. After that, he may as well be unbeatable.Also, I somehow doubt that you actually figured it out.
