A nameless city in the Pacific Ocean. Its origins are of no matter, but what is of matter is the people who inhabit it. One year ago, a shadow fell over the city. This shadow kept anyone and anything from entering in or out. Naturally, panic sparked, but something more intriguing came about. Out of the sky fell... Masks. The plain white accessories floated down gently. Though seemingly identical, these masks were all unique inside. You see... The Masquerade was beginning, and these Masks were the invitations. Unfortunately, certain Masks didn't sync well and turned the recipients into Masked Monsters. Maskers they soon came to be called. When the Masks did sync with their recipients, a much more interesting transformation occurred. Some people changed appearance, some changed all together, all had unique powers and abilities. What set them further apart was that these Guests were able to apply and remove their masks of unique appearance at will. The one catch, however, is that the Masks gradually drained the users' stamina. The more powerful the mask, the greater the drain. After a year of a pointless war against the Maskers, something... Interesting, even for the nameless city, was about to begin.

 

RULES

 

-If you sign up, you are expected to participate to the best of your ability.

-Posts must be a minimum of three lines.

-Keep language and other conduct PG-13.

-During battle with other roleplayers, be respectful and respectable. Don't automatically land fatal blows, or tear your opponent to pieces. Always land an action open ended, and communicate with you opponent separately if you want something intense to happen for the sake of the story.

-Speaking of, that's what this is, a story. Character development is nice and all, but plot movement will be necessary. I'll appoint an admin or two if my online frequency comes into question, otherwise I'll make sure that happens. Just play along.

-Respect the power of the RP admin(s). You're in control of your own character, not the entire roleplay.

-Type Miko at the bottom of your sign up as proof you've read all these rules, and that you intend to adhere to them.

 

Now for the fun part. Character creation, here's your formula.

 

Name:

Sex:

Age:

Appearance:

Mask name:

Mask description: (what it looks like, what it might do psychologically to the wearer)

Mask ability:

Masked appearance: (what the wearer looks like wearing the mask. Optional)

Backstory: (Optional, but recommended)

Character theme: (Optional. Just a song that people can play when your character has their time to shine)

 

 

Here's mine.

 

Name: Shiori Takane

Sex: Female

Age: 15

Appearance: http://oi57.tinypic.com/muvpja.jpg

Mask name: Bloody Mask

Mask description: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=57459569

Wearer becomes flirtatious but also incredibly bloodthirsty and very difficult to negotiate with.

Mask ability: Able to assess an opponents remaining stamina, and allows the user to manipulate their own blood with little lethal risk. Stealing blood of others restores energy, and injecting her own blood into a foe, though difficult, is often an assured, able to incapacitate, manipulate, or outright to end life depending on the amount she shared.

Masked appearance: http://oi57.tinypic.com/2h564k0.jpg

Backstory: Shiori was always a quiet girl, preferring to sit in the corner of whatever room she was in and read whatever fantasy novel she had with her at the time. She became a hopeless fan girl of the vampires she read about, and often daydreamed them as the heartthrobs of her school. She was so shy that she never talked about her interests, however. In fact, she rarely speaks at all. Her social skills (or lack thereof), choice of literature, and extreme hemophobia led her to believe she was a disappointment to her parents who were both well respected doctors.

Let's all have fun together ^_^

Dammit why did you have to make such an awesome rp

I'm like so busy with other rps

I won't be online much, so this will likely be fairly slow paced if that means anything

I might be inclined to sign up when I get home from college tomorrow, but right now the plot and the direction you want to take the story seems a bit too vague. I like the idea, I'm just concerned about not knowing what write about.

Part of roleplays is letting the players take things into their own hands. I have a skeleton in mind, and what the players decide will help better shape both the concept and the plot

I will attempt to sign up tomorrow after track.

Well, if you have a linear plot line to follow, then I should be able to come up with something or another to progress the story. I'll make my sign up sheet tomorrow.

I'll work on a sheet tomorrow. This is such a cool idea

As much as I would love to use a well-known or a well-thought main, I can't say any of them really make sense in this RP's sense. The closest is Sandrew, but he has so little strength that he would fizzle the instant the mask is put on. So I guess, time for a fresh OC

 

Name: Leil (Pronounced Lie-il) Ren
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: Silver haired with dandelion yellow eyes, a flat face with a very pointed nose, his hair is short save a small little spike that sits near the back of his head. He is mid-sized, and generally wears a black and blue suit with a grey tie, bowtie of course.
Mask name: Shiri-ken (Based off of the language that Derik's world had in the older times, this means Fate of the Strong (Shi being fate, and iri is uses as a combining word, generally used to say words like of, and, is, ext. which are connective words )
Mask description: As it looks on the outside like the rest, the inside looks like a starry night's sky. As you move it, so dose the stars. In certian places and angles it displays far away galaxy's. It makes the user susceptible to a number of mental illnesses (like DID, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, altimeters, ect, which, with prolonged exposure, will become permanent) 
Mask ability: It allows him true sight, and extreme sight. He can see for miles perfectly in even pure darkness. His other senses become heightened as well, and depending on the effect the mask has on his mental state his body also gains special bonuses. Smaller allows him greater speed and the ability to wall run, larger allows him greater range, climbing ability, and precision. If he has a severe hallucination, it can occasionally become a real thing
Masked appearance: His hair lengthens incredibly, he slouches over, his clothing inexplicably transforms into a lab coat covered in stains and smells like it hadn't been washed since it's creation. Depending on the effect on his mind, he could be gigantic(for a human proportion, like 15 feet tall) or incredibly small.(Think mini mushroom from Mario)
Backstory: Before the masks came, Leil was no more than a boy working on his start as a business owner. After the masks came, he lost all his business, causing him to become bankrupt. He took to anti-depressants and crack to try and shave off his feelings of anguish and failure, until he obtained his mask. When he put it on for the first time, it was pure euphoria, however, he has yet to find himself with that feeling again, slowly starting to drive him to madness by wearing the mask so much...
Character theme: (Optional. Just a song that people can play when your character has their time to shine)

I would join, but I'm busy with other RPs...

And on the whole rule section, I ought to update the guide with those tidbits. It's always the tiny details I seem to overlook -.-'

Okay, I'm going to put down an almost blank sign up sheet now because I need to turn off my laptop right now. I'll begin editing on my iPod right away, so just give me a little time to produce the final product.

 

 

Name: Charles Cerberus Cross

 

Sex: Male

 

Age: 19

 

Appearance:

 

 

Mask Name: Raiden (Literally meaning "God of Lightning".)

 

Mask Description: Due to the nature of the mask's power, the users nerves may become dull from over use. The user will also, and most likely, receive electrical signals sent from the mask to the brain through the nervous system. This will cause the user to develop a Dissociative Identity Disorder.

 

 

 

Mask Ability: The mask allows the user to manipulate electrical currents flowing from their own body as well as from electrical equipment. This may also include slightly influencing lightning during a storm.

 

Masked Appearance:

 

 

Backstory: Charles Cerberus Cross, more commonly referred to as Chase by his friends, was the son of the head of a famous electronics company. Messing around with electronics since he was young, Chase grew up building gadgets while his father and mother pestered him on becoming a great man who would take over the family business. Feeling overwhelmed and backed into a corner, Chase packed his bags and left the big city at the age of 16. Spending many nights alone and on the streets, Chase learned to look after himself with the bare minimum, using only what was available to him to get by. Even though he spent many months on the streets, nothing could stop Chase's unwavering optimism and happiness, appearing cheerful in even the most dire of situations.

 

Eventually, Chase realised that to support himself properly, he would need a job. Finding his way to The City, Chase "acquired" a job as an electro-scientist after simply dropping his name. As electronics was his hobby and was the major thing he excelled in while studying at school, he was more than prepared for the job he was given. Since then, Chase has lived comfortably in his own apartment. That is, until the masks began raining from the sky.

 

After a few weeks, Chase began growing attached to his mask and the handiness of being able to manipulate electricity for his job. However, he noticed that many were misusing the power they were given. Feeling as if he was capable of something more, Chase began to patrol the night while wearing his mask. With a high sense of justice, Chase took it upon himself to "eliminate" all those who would misuse their powers by either destroying their masks or if necessary... Murder.

Edited March 13, 201510 yr by Oblivion 22

Name: Viridem Mors

Sex: Female

Age: 17

Appearance: 

Mask Name: Blighted Gale

Mask Description: The mask is a smaller masquerade type mask, that covers only his eyes. It's sky blue and is sparkly, almost like the effect sequins create except with a smooth surface. The mask makes her even more susceptible to her temper, becoming quick to anger and uncharacteristically violent when she is so.

Mask Ability: When masked, she can manipulate ice and wind, becoming an effective walking blizzard.

Masked Appearance: (but with the mask on of course)

Backstory: A girl who grew up in the slums, but hated it. She hated the lifestyle, the resignation, and refused to be a part of it. She never stopped working towards the goal of becoming higher, a self dependent member of high society. She had finally managed to make it, gaining a small position of an internship at a well known corporation, when the masks fell. Since then, she has attempted to hide her mask in attempts to step away from it as well.

Well perhaps you should plant your jokes in less muddy areas. I suppose they need the rain too though.

Imitation is often seen as a side effect of aspiring to greatness.

 

Unless of course, you aren't as great?

Hate to interrupt, but I just thought id let you know I finished my sign up sheet... So yeah, continue throwing down these sick fires. It's quite entertaining.
