{This roleplay is currently closed to new characters due to being in the final stages.  Thank you for reading!}

 

Have you ever wondered why it rains in the worst possible moment?  Does it ever feel like someone is watching you?  Why are you really so scared of the dark, when there is almost always nothing there?

 

The truth is, there are explanations to all of these things, only we as humans lack the knowledge of them.

 

Far above us in the medieval era dwells a kingdom--no, a world--filled with whimsy, fantasy and phenomena of your wildest dreams.  The world dwells above the clouds, filled with rich stone walls, cobblestone homes, water fountains aplenty, and the palaces whose splendor rivals even that of the great King Alderon down below in the human world.  This world is beautiful, massive, and rich.

 

But who could live in this world, you are probably asking yourself, if this happened long, long ago back in the age of medieval living?  If there are no planes, how could people reach this magnificent place?  And if humans did not know of this world, then what could possibly live there?  There is only one simple explanation, and that explanation is the very reality of what lives there: fey.

 

Fey, all sorts of fey.  Predominately fairies, though they are not your average fairy that you read about in a bedtime story.  They are in every sense of the word human, only they are gifted with three things that the mere human does not possess: magic, immortality, and flight.  The range of fey that dwell in the Overworld vary, from fairies, imps, minotaurs, eidolons, vampires, and just about any mythical race.  While it would seem they have a paradise, it may be surprising that they desire something much, much more, more expansive such as the world below.

 

Which has brought them into the disaster that has befallen them today.

 

A young fey, perhaps three hundred years old, ventured into the forbidden world below, sneaking past security with his two friends.  He met many humans, many curious, some kind, and others . . . more power-thirsty than anything.  A dreadful fate befell the three friends: one had been kept by the human King Alderon for his own dark experimental purposes, another died while trying to save him, and the last made it home, but was punished so severely he'd wished that he'd died.  While the majority of the underworld do not know of the existence of the Fey kingdom, King Alderon does, and he's attempting to reign supreme over all the kingdoms of his world.  In doing so he plans to use the one weapon he doesn't have and is known as a forgotten art: magic.  Yes, magic existed within these young fey, and he would stop at nothing to obtain these magics for his own purposes, even if it meant draining the poor fey dry of their magic, killing them in the process of transferring this magic into their own warriors.

 

You have a choice: to be human, or be a member of the mythical race of the Overworld preparing for the greatest of wars between worlds.  If you are a human you wouldn't know anything about fey, unless you serve directly under King Alderon and know of his plans.  If you are of the Overworld you have never been to the main world, but rather have only heard stories and probably yearn to see what it is like.  Travel between the worlds is forbidden for fey, to prevent the very tragedy that the young boy had created.  You may choose most any race for an Overworld dweller, though if I feel it isn't a good fit or is over-powered I may decline the race.

 

The rules consist of:

 

1.) No god-modding.

2.) No auto-hitting or mass slaughter.  This means if you are battling someone don't make your hit automatically meet its target, but rather have it aimed at a player and they choose whether the attack hits or misses.  No mass slaughter means don't kill off a bunch of NPCs without permission.

3.) Go with the plot, and please choose a character that fits well with the world and setting.

4.) Original characters only.  If you would like to use a canon character please modify them until they are your own creation, and rather inspired by a canon character.

5.) When in a group of other people, please post after everyone in your group has posted.  I don't want anyone to fall too far behind.

6.) Keep everything PG-13, please.

7.) Romance is permitted, but again please remember rating restrictions.

8.) Please don't have invincible characters.  While you get to choose whether your character is hit by an attack, don't make them avoid everything or else it seems like god-modding.

9.) Don't be over-powered.

10.) All KH13 rules apply.

11.) This is going to be a heavy world-building roleplay, that will rely heavily on plot and character interaction.  I intend to keep this roleplay going for a considerable length of time, though it may not be entirely fast to update.  Having said that, please try to post at least once every two weeks, but if you are going to be away please let me know and we will make arrangements for your characters.  Should you remain absent for an extended length of time, I reserve the right to utilize your characters as I deem fit for the RP's progression.

12.) Have fun!

 

Now, here is the character sheet.  There is no maximum amount of characters that you can possess, but I would like for you to only control as many characters as you can reasonably handle:

 

Name:

Gender:

Race:

Age (if fey, keep in mind that they are immortal, but can appear like a certain age):

Appearance:

Magic (if any):

Weapons:

Personality:

Biography:

 

I hope to have some maps drafted of the world in the near future, and if anyone would like to suggest some names for locations please feel free to.  Thanks for your interest!

Well, I guess I should have seen something like this coming. 

Jeremy literally does everything perfectly but Henry drops something and he trips.

 

Xion and Takao switch lines a few times.

 

Eclaire is so nervous she accidentally screams her lines at Shiva. Multiple times.

 

Raz slips and falls off his chair.

 

Eclaire forgets pants one day.

I was thinking about an event from a little while back. The soldiers/messengers that Yev sent to the north, and the ones who went to find Rabs. While I like to think that the ones who were looking for the highly charismatic elf succeeded in their work at some point during the time skip, I also think that the ones who traveled to the north were prevented from ever coming back.

They probably would have used a flying mount or spell for a quick journey, and at some point before reaching either Exire or Heimdall they would have been stopped by my favorite dragon judges, Raish and Umbra. They would have told the messengers that Leviathan and Asura were indisposed, leaving the judges to handle their royal duties. After being told that Yev wanted to speak, the messengers would have been disposed of, and both dragons would have traveled to Kilkis Seres as diplomats of Levi and Asura.

Raish would have asked for a meeting with the regent in private, and once there she would mess with Yev for a little while, telling him that a deceiver would recognize their own ilk, taunting him for his involvement in the murder of the Frostbearer, and offering small hints about a potential partnership if he helped both judges to get rid of Levi and Asura, the ones who sent the Judge Magister to help Raiden in his attempt to join both worlds.

The dragoness would say to Yev that they do not judge his methods, and would have loved to help him, if only he had asked sooner. She then would tell him that Leviathan currently in a coma (only her vessel is) and that neither she or Asura would deal with him at the moment. She would then leave, but not without, once again, giving him hints that a partnership would still be available if he should desire.

Whilte travelling back Umbra would tell his sister if Yev could be useful in the larger scheme they are plotting, meaning getting rid of the King of Kings and the Tide Mother, somehow control the other rulers, and complete a ritual to bring back a powerful being into the world. Raishan would say that Yev could prove a useful piece in their game, if he survived.


Maybe another small point to had to my similar small list for a possible sequel?

 

I have to keep my mind occupied so I don't remember that tomorrow is monday and that means going back to work.

I swear to god if somebody else gets pep talk from Shiva's ghost im having Maxis hijack the RP's ending last second.

 

He's got utterly left behind. He'd be suicidal if he wasn't so insane right now.

Apologies for the delay; I will post tomorrow.  I am working longer hours for the foreseeable future on the weekdays, which is why I have not done much here.

So I am thinking to perform a time skip since most people have loose ends tied.  There's a few plot points I see that could further develop, but I see there's several of you that are tied up waiting for the departure, so I think it would be best to finish these in flashback scenes and move forward.

 

My question is this: do you guys want to play the journey, or do you just want to get to the shrine of Isopolis?

Aww, poor Maxis.  I truly feel so bad for him.  Shiva was like the one thing holding him together, and now he's just falling apart.

 

Should Maxis survive, though, I have an idea for him in the possible sequel of Elrandir's:

 

Shiva may return in the form of a reincarnation.

I think the journey might be ok to play. Maybe like the last quarter of it, and then proceed on with Isopolis.

Oh would Arthur meet Athena before departure, or would it be a 'you arrived too late he's already gone' and now Arthur has left not knowing that she's alive and well

Everybody being all  "Live up to their legacy" Or "Continue their legacies".

 

And Henry's just like.

 

"Abandon old and flawed ways, and make new and better ones on top. God dammit."

1.) Timeskip works.

 

2.) -Shiva reincarnation

 

Eclaire will cry. It will be ugly. It will be very ugly.

 

But very happy.

I'm fine with the time skip, and I'm fine with either play in a time before they arrive at Isopolis so they can have enough time to make some sort of plan, or being ready to enter the shrine.

 

I'm ever so slowly working on small details of that possible sequel. Sometimes I get random ideas in the middle of the night that I think could be important. I also have  random conversations and scenarios playing in my mind while I'm doing chores. It's an interesting experience.

 

Will Raish, Umbra, and whoever is with them, succed in their plan? Will the Cinder King raise to bring destruction to the north, and possibly both worlds? Only time will tell.

 

 

 

Oh would Arthur meet Athena before departure, or would it be a 'you arrived too late he's already gone' and now Arthur has left not knowing that she's alive and well

 

I think he will be able to see her before the journey to Isopolis now that her wish was granted.

 Bringing Shiva back cheapens her death and Yev sacrifices.

I remember a character from some anime I saw years ago, can't remember which one. The character was a reincarnation of someone from a long time before the current events, and they had some access to those memories, but not all.

 

In the end the character told those who had know them that those were just memories they had inside their mind, but that they were not that person.

 

I think Eclaire, Maxis and Yev (if they survive) could use that situation to finally accept that Shiva is gone, have some closure, or something along those lines.

 

That's just an idea.

I don't know, we already have something like that going on in the story with Elia's sister.

The Ariana inside Henry's mind is more like an imprint of the real Ariana. She is neither alive nor dead, and she obviously is not the memories of the real Ariana.

 

Also, all this talking about a potential reincarnation in any form for Shiva is mystics' idea if I made a sort of sequel to Overworld. A sequel that would take place in the northern continent.

 

There's still quite awhile for that to happen, and I'm still trying to figure out many things so that sequel can actually happen, it's not 100% confirmed that it will be made. Not yet.

Well if you must ask.

 

The Ariana within Henry's mind is NOT the real Ariana, far from it.

 

Its a imprint, as Elrandir said, but its one developed by Henry's mind in order to cope with his power, he borrowed from her. He absorbed Ariana's life essence, and that caused him to 'make' an Ariana in his own mind. 

 

Its difficult to explain.

I would have to disagree with the 'cheapening of death' notion often associated with reincarnation, resurrection and other such methods.

 

If done effectively, the reversal of a characters death can be as emotional as their deaths, or at least, a nice moment.

 

Just sayin'.

It all depends on how it's done. It all depends on how it's played out.

 

I'm interested in what Mystics was thinking...

What I had in mind was a young girl (equivalent to an 18-year-old, anyway) living in the north who has had far from a privileged life.  She would have Shiva's appearance and soul, but she is not Shiva.  She would be her own person, though I was thinking that occasionally a bit of Shiva would shine through.  A fondness and trust for Eclaire even if they barely met, for one, and perhaps being one of the few to be able to create a blood seal with Maxis due to Shiva's spirit living within.  I was planning for her personality and temperament to be rather different, however, potentially being more like the reckless Princess Shiva that we haven't really gotten to see.  It would be very fun, at any rate, and like Elrandir suggested it may give people some closure on the queen's death.

 

Not that a sequel is confirmed; this is just a character that I'd love to bring on board if a sequel does happen (which I very much hope does).  I just can't help but muse over possibilities for a sequel in the North.

 

 Bringing Shiva back cheapens her death and Yev sacrifices. 

 

I actually agree with you in that character revivals often cheapen a death.  It really depends on how it's done, though, and what overall effect it has on the rest of the cast of characters, in my opinion.  I do get where you're coming from. . I don't really intend for Shiva to be revived, though, so I think it would be different.

Ya'll are just making me so freaking hyped for a possible sequel like oh my god. So much could be done, and this new character and an amnesiac Eclaire could be such an interesting pair.

 

Useless lesbian with no memories.

 

Shiva's reincarnation of sorts.

 

And a whole world of insanity.

Wonder how Bherna would react, should Elrandir go through with the RP.

I'm laughing at the prospect of Jynn meeting her.

"M...mother? Y...YOU'RE EIGHTEEN."

"M...mother? Y...YOU'RE EIGHTEEN."

Kinda thinking for him to be a cameo character after this RP. So Bherna might meet her first and the explain the situation to him. But it would be interesting see his initial reaction.
