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.

"...data."

 

The Doctor seemed to be gradually dissipating as he continued talking, and he quickly took note and picked up the pace of his speech.

 

"The City is a construction. A virtual world, but with potential to do things computer science has only ever dreamed of until now. I would know. I built it. The problem is... it's a husk. A framework. An empty shell. For it to be fully effective, it must be truly developed, weaponized, by those who have the skills to do so."

 

He slowly brought his index finger to point towards the two women before him.

 

 

 

Yep, we're in the matrix, roll credits

I now am waiting for Dave.

I've been waiting for MDS to post, so that we might get some more info on our DJ buddy and his lasers. I don't want to go and try to kill him without knowing if we have to or not.

AH.

I'm still waiting for Stardust.Idk how long should I wait.Should I just continue in without her?

Just keep going. It's better to keep it going than just wait.

Sounds good.Should I join you guys?

Uh,I don't think we can,ask MDS.

Has anyone forgotten about Yuki's RED tail?

Its red...nothing else to note

And strong.

still red

Sora doesn't pay attention to Yuki, she's hopelessly in love with Kristy.

 

Also, I'm waiting for MDS to tell us if Sora succeeded in turning the mech into a potato gun of doom.

I'm just waiting for the sake of waiting.  That and homework was being a pain.

 

Or at least I was.  Maybe?  I don't know...

I needs MDS.

Alright, prediction time. Surely some other people can help me out on this, considering this is the first shred of knowledge we've gotten about what is even happening in this RP.

 

The PCs are individuals that have been found to have an aptitude for data, whether because of their strong will, individuality, or some other factor we do not yet know of, and because of this, were abducted, and made into data. Said data was then inserted into this program, named the City, which was originally created by the Doctor. The Doctor created the city, but found it to be empty, missing something. Therefore, he created Q and her countless siblings, in an attempt to awaken the city to its true potential. So far, it has not worked. The Doctor had figured out that select humans had the capability to awaken the City, but had abandoned the idea due to ethical reasons. Q however, did not think that these ethical blockades were any reason to stop experimenting on the City, and brought the PCs into this world. She then manipulated them into helping her awaken the City without giving the full details. The dolls were originally guardians of the City, created with the City itself, intended to protect it from dangers both inside it and out. The things from the Starfalls are viruses of sorts created and sent by the Doctor to help the PCs by giving them power-ups.

 

Hmm? Any holes or further thoughts?

Only one.....

You said humans, but Yuki's a Saiyan. Sooo....Try explaining that for me?
