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.

Or Jason, the relatively normal police officer

 

I don't see why not

 

-_- You can't be serious...Tristan and Nathan would probably end up working together and destroy anyone who had the nerve of interrupting their battle.

 

Not if you are both exhausted, then pretty much anyone can go for the kill, although it'l probably be marauders, who followed the nosie of the destruction.

That's a possibility... The two are probably going to need people to look after them when they're done fighting though.

Well if its Maxwell and he decides to intervene 

 

Nathan would have such a hard time with Maxwell (Although maxwell is pretty underpowered in my eyes so far)

 

Since any of his gravity abilities wouldnt work on Maxwell if he is charged with electricity, electrons are barely affected by gravity.

 

I volunteer having Maxwell watching these two squablle.

Well, if all you wanna do is watch, be my guest.

rightfully were going to separate ourselves enough from everyone so you can't interfere your welcome to at the end once the fighting is finished though otherwise for Maxwell's owe safety he's better off staying away till the two drop

I'l probably have him get there when the two are nearly passing out from exhaustion, and get you two out of there and to a safe place.

 

All with an annoyied expression on his face

Sounds about right.

Nora would just stare and finally say "Oh so that's what they meant"

It's not just the side of Q and the Doctor everyone will have to pick between at this rate haha

Nora would just stare and finally say "Oh so that's what they meant"

Yeah, probably. That, and we'd probably fight over who gets to be friends with Nora.N: But I saw her first!T: But I'm nicer!*the two continue arguing*Something like that.

Then *Maxwell barges in and becomes friends with nora while the other two are arguing.

 

 

Maxwel gives no firetrucks.

Darnit I though the fight over my character ended 30+ pages ago

Darnit I though the fight over my character ended 30+ pages ago

 

 

It did.

 

Now it began again.

I wasn't involved last time and I'm not involved this time Oblivion started this all by himself its up to you in the end so i just say to hell with it

I will not allow anyone to steal my girl from me!

im just saying if you guys dont do it Maxwell will...

You're wrong Oblivion.

You know Asher is the only one for Nathan.

You're wrong Oblivion.You know Asher is the only one for Nathan.

 

 

So Natasher is canon then?

You're wrong Oblivion.You know Asher is the only one for Nathan.

We all know that Asher is going to end up like Grell from Kuroshitsuji and Nathan will be like "I was only using you the whole time, get a grip."

So Natasher is canon then?

Hell naw~

Wait I almost forgot what about ChesRa/NoEr (Chester x Nora) they've been together the longest with each other in comparison to the rest

Chestora then

 

 

So Natasher and Chestora are canon.

 

I wonder what Q will think of this.

Nathan x Asher is not cannon. XDI don't even think Nathan is capable of even expressing love in the first place.
