MusE (Parallel Universes RP~Started/Accepting~OoC)

[Quiksilver]

Yeah, it can be from nearly anything- as long as it is within relative seriousness (i.e. I'd prefer not to see Bugs Bunny.) Choosing later is a option, yes.

[Makο]

Eh, I'll choose now. Editing...

[Quiksilver]

Yep, accepted now, Mako. By the way, have my app now...


[spoiler=My App]USER NAME: Willpower_9

NAME: Felix Aleisus

AGE: 28

GENDER: Male

APPEARANCE:

- Height: 6'1

- Weight: 152 lbs.

- Body Shape: Athletic, but is rather more developed in his legs more than his arms because for exercise Felix plays soccer. (He's a goalie.) So, his arms are not what you'd expect from a athletic man, but he still is quite one.

- Hair Style & Color: Felix' has brown hair that tends to go blond at the edges. It is styled into a faux mohawk do, but overtime it flattens down into a simple layered look, This will probably happen during the RP, due to the fact we will usually neither have the time or resources available to style our hair regularly.

- Eye Color: Felix has stormy grey eyes that are flecked with dots of gold.

- Complexion: Browned

- Clothing: Felix generally dresses in a semi-formal manner, usually with a white t-shirt, not unlike a dress shirt, paired with a dark hoodie which has the sleeves rolled up. The formal part of this outfit consists of dress pants and good shoes he usually wears with the outfit. Sometimes he might have a rakish tie put on too.

PERSONALITY: Felix is quite the extrovert. Needy of attention and funny, he always makes sure he is the one at the center of the 'cool' crowd. He was one of those people that could walk into a room and instantly be the most popular person there- and, in this aspect at least, his talent helped him. Felix always tries to be cool and collected- but at heart he's a big softie. Socially conscious, Felix always tries to make sure he's in the current 'groove', making him care very much about what people say about him.
The other aspect of Felix is a fun-loving soccer player. Having spent every summer in Europe, where the nation sport is soccer, he naturally became quite good at it, and even joined the college soccer team all four years. This side is casual and just fun to be around, more so than his popular, style-conscious side.

- Likes: Spicy food, sport-playing girls, soccer, classic movies

- Dislikes: Bugs (Has Entomophobia), Chinese food, modern movies

SKILLS: Felix can obtain a feel for people almost the second he meets them. This means he's very good at reading people. In just a few short seconds talking with you, Felix can tell you your likes, dislikes, mannerisms, personality, and even which hand you prefer. Some might call this ability just intuition, but a lot of people call Felix's skill uncanny...

Felix is also bilingual, speaking both Italian and English, but this does not really matter unless we're visiting said locations.

PARTNER: Iorek Byrnison

- Place of Origin: Svalbard, the North, Lyra's World [url]http://hdm.wikia.com/wiki/Iorek[/url]

- Partner's Skills: Possesses great strength, can crush a man with a single blow, wears nearly impenetrable armor, and is a expert smith.

BIOGRAPHY: Felix's parents were the type that were always on the go. Born to a executive at the Ministero degli Affari Esteri, (Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs), he naturally moved around from place to place. As a child, Felix never had many long-time friends due to his parents constant moving, but since he had to join so many different schools and such, he naturally grew good at making (short-term) friends, a skill that would eventually grow into his talent. Felix actually spend the better time of his life in England and America, and so, when Felix left his oft-moving family to go to college, it was only natural that Felix left to go to a English-speaking college; MIT, to be precise, becoming a American citizen in the process. Graduating later with a masters degree in mechanical engineering, Felix plunged into job-hood with the naive but unfortunately oft-said idea that a degree would get him a job. It didn't.
Two years later, and still job-less, Felix became desperate and enrolled in the U.S. Army. Assigned to a Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team (i.e. a Bomb Squad) due to his mechanical expertise, Felix quickly advanced through the ranks, garnering himself enough recognition as a talented bomb remover that he was eventually given a top-secret mission by the Department of Defense that he still can't speak of today. But it wasn't enough. Maybe it's his extroverted nature, but Felix wanted to be even more well-known, wanting to be someone who would go down in history. And then, Felix heard of MusE...

EQUIPMENT:

- U.S. Army Survival Guide Manual: FM 21-76

- A black dive watch

- Army-issued knife; M9 Bayonet

- Backpack with rations lasting for up to two weeks

- Pair of extra socks[/spoiler]

...Yeah, so I'm running out of computer time, so I'll finish it up tomorrow.

[Nɇvɇrmorɇ]

Can I still reserve a spot?

[Quiksilver]

Yeah, definitely. I'm still making my own app, so there's still some time left.

[Quiksilver]

BUMP. Finished my app, by the way.

[Quiksilver]

Ok guys, I have a question for ya all. What universe should we go to first?

[Makο]

Must I ask which one I want to go to? You all should know >:3

[Quiksilver]

Yeah, I know it.

[Nɇvɇrmorɇ]

Finally finished mine.
[spoiler=App]USER NAME: Řå¶ţøŗ §łąšħ

NAME: Horace Nanrek

AGE: 20

- Likes: Many of his likes include science, paleontology, mysteries, books, books about mysteries, music, and even books about the macabre

- Dislikes: Rap, being aggressively told what to do, and doing too much work.

PARTNER: BlackAgumon

- Place of Origin: The Digital World http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Digital_World

BIOGRAPHY: Born in a small town in Ohio, Horace’s parents pulled him out of school for six years to be homeschooled. When his parents divorced, he had to return to school for freshman year of high school. Since he didn’t have many friends, he spent most of his time learning about sciences, mostly dinosaurs, and about things in the world that cannot be explained. He dreamed that in his future life, he’d be one of the greatest scientists on the planet. Every day in school, he’d sit in the classroom and write theories on paranormalities no one else could explain. Once he heard about this, he knew he’d have to join.

EQUIPMENT: Besides the knife for protection, he carries no real weapons. He has many rations such as food, water, and first aid supplies etc. He also has many tools for technological repairs. He also carries many clothes and some cleaning fluids for his glasses.[/spoiler]

[Quiksilver]

@Raltor: Same problem as Hydra. I need a little example of this boy having taken combat training; right now he seems like a nerd, for want of a better term, straight out of high school. Could you elaborate a little more on how he got interested in MusE and life past the high school years? Thanks.

[Quiksilver]

Okay. Once everyone does what I said in their app, then they're accepted. I just discovered my RP had dipped down into the second page, which seems to tell me that we need to get this started, which I will do shortly. If you guys add what I say, you can immediately start Rping, just say something like I CHANGED THE APP, and I'll make sure it's okay.

By the way, if you're wondering, the first universe we'll be visiting is...the Greek Mythology Universe! (Don't worry, Mako, we'll go to Halo after that.)

[Makο]

Greek? F***! I hate Greecen cuisine...lol.



Greecen?

[Quiksilver]

Naw, it's Grecian or simply Greek.


AND...(Drumroll)...It's up! The first post of MusE has been posted. Here is a link to the RP, if you can't seem to find it for some reason-

[url]http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/225715-muse-episode-i/[/url]

And so it begins! Huzzah!

[Hydra of Ages]

So, if we have ideas for prospective universes to visit, do we just PM you with them, post them here, or write them down on scraps of paper and burn them on a sacred alter while dancing naked covered in the blood of a sacrificial lamb during a new moon? Or something else?

[evilfusion]

This is what I have so far. I'm not sure what to do with Partner, though. What kind of requirements or criteria does it follow? It's not very clear. Anything I must fix with the rest of the app from what I have so far?

[spoiler=app]
USER NAME: evilfusion

NAME: Eliza Heraton

AGE: 31

GENDER: Female

APPEARANCE

- Height: 5'9''

- Weight: 150

- Body Shape: Regular

- Hair Style & Color: Black, ponytail to the base of neck

- Eye Color: Green

- Complexion: Lightly tanned

- Clothing: Blue tank top, blue jeans with a black belt. Plain white sneakers.

PERSONALITY: Eliza is a quiet person, but very observant. She likes to be the one to take initiative, but shrinks back at the thought of actual leadership. She keeps much of her thoughts to herself, but writes them out to reflect on them later. She will also record some of her observations, and doesn't like to be anywhere without a journal of some sort. When in danger, she is much more aggressive, but loses her 'powers' of observation, leading to great acts of recklessness.

- Likes: Ketchup, music, nature

- Dislikes: Arguing, blood, music, people looking over her shoulder

SKILLS: Because of her quiet nature, she makes a superb diplomat or mediator. However, she is a very poor leader and decision maker in times of stress.

PARTNER: {Not just people from our universe volunteered for this expeditions; people from others have joined too. Your character has been partnered with one of these people, and it up to you to decide who these people are. You can choose a partner from a variety of sources, which can come from popular culture all the way back to mythology.}

- Place of Origin: {Where this partner comes from. Just post a link to the Wikia page of the associated characters.}

- Partner's Skills: {Look up to skills from information on this section. Make it appropriate for the character in question. (i.e. Pikachu should not be able to breath fire.)}

BIOGRAPHY: Eliza was born to a middle-class family with several siblings. As she grew older, she often had to care for her younger siblings when her parents were at work, and learned to help them solve their childish differences without resorting to shouting or violence. Her greatest ambition was to become a writer, and so she spent much of her free time outdoors, observing the scenery and writing her thoughts and surroundings down. She graduated from school with top honors, and tried to learn several languages so that she could see the world and understand different cultures and lifestyles. She took some basic military training and self-defense courses, if only due to her expectations of possible hostilities in foreign countries. She quickly found that a soldier's life was definitely not for her, and was more than happy to leave once her training was up.

She spent the next few years overseas, studying as much as she could about foreign history and comparing it to what she had learned from America. The inaccuracies she found as fascinating, and she began working on a novel about how the citizens of one country were fooled into thinking they were an independant, democratic nation, but in fact were ruled by a foreign dictatorship, the details of which were stripped from that country's history. The novel did eventually get published, and soon after, she learned of MusE, seeing this as a fascinating learning experience that could possibly provide more information or ideas for writing projects.

EQUIPMENT: Two small journals and several pens. A travel bag with bandages, painkiller, and some antibiotics. Also has some stomach medicine (Pepto-Bismol) and several bottles of water and emergency rations that can last her several days, but no more than two weeks, including a bottle of ketchup. Carries a sheathed hunting knife on her belt.

While you COULD do that, I question whether it's an encouraged or effective practice.

[Magnet Soldier]

[quote name='Quiksilver' timestamp='1287182682' post='4707843']
@Magnet Soldier: Ehh. Your bio makes me really antsy. First off, why did you create so many plot points? Gunslingers, Dark Tower...I'll all for adding your own flair to an RP, but defining the center of the Multiverse is going a little to far. You'll need to change that. Also, that Portal that apparently 'follows' him around; nonsense. I might have forgotten to add this, but Portals are like 'doorways'; each one can only go to one place, it is non-moving, and can be opened and closed. Think of the Arc Caster as the mythical door-in-the-air creator.

However, I will say this. Apart from the bio, the application is quite good. Except, you made the same mistake as Mako; SO MANY CAPITALIZATION.[/quote]

You didn't read the wikipedia page for Roland did you? The plot points in the Bio are not of my creation, they are of Stephen Kings. They are from Stephen Kings the Dark tower, and have no relevence to the RP, they are just stating a basic plot of his life so far. This MusE thing is a thing in the middle of his quest for the Dark Tower, and the Dark Tower is the Stephen King's Multiverse's center, but there are near infinite Universes in both stories, which means there could be multiple Multiverses. So the Dark Tower is the center of Stephen king's Multiverse. The doorways are a point that is used quite often in the stories. There are many doorways in it, some which follow a person(There are two types of these, one that comes out where the person is, and one that goes into the person's mind. Michael's is the first.) and some which stay where they are. And the following doorway has vanished, because it has closed. Such doors can only be opened on one side, and many are only one way.

And I'll edit out the capitalization.

[Magnet Soldier]

Changed app.

And we could visit the Stephen King's Multiverse(Which has things from most books in it, such as the Emerald Palace from Oz, and some of his other books like 'Salem's Lot.)

[Quiksilver]

Well, I leapt without thinking. I saw those details and thought you were doing stuff to my Multiverse. However, I would like you to get rid of the Gunslinger and following Portal stuff; Right now, even though you are saying you are not affecting my Multiverse, you in truth are, since you're applying the Gunslinger and following Portal things outside of the Stephen King universe, if you understand what I'm saying.

It would cool to visit that place, though. Maybe it'll be one of them.

[Magnet Soldier]

The following portal part wont happen again. It's only for the meeting of David and Roland. But the Gunslinger part I cant get rid of. It's kind of Roland's religion, and If I have to get rid of that, I'm quiting. It's my basis for my character.

[Quiksilver]

Oh, and evilfusion, really nice app. Except you did the same thing as Hydra and Raltor- you forgot to make note of combat training- ah, screw it. Since so many people are doing it, I'll just stop pestering people about it. Sorry, Hydra, since I already made you implement it. And the criteria of Partner's is actually pretty broad. It just needs to be from Popular Fiction and/or Mythology and/or any other outlet, and can't be incredibly overpowered. As simple as that.

Hydra, you can post them here or PM them to me- either way, they'll end up in the Suggestion Box, unless you give me any reason a reason not too. Just don't kill any innocent lambs, please.

Alright, let's compromise. Let's say Gunslingers know how to transport from 'mini-verses' (self-contained parts of a universe) in their universe (just to keep it contained), but then suddenly they actually found out how to break through into the real Multiverse. How about that? And also, for his religion part, why doesn't he just now follow the code of the Gunslinger?

[Magnet Soldier]

Gunslingers dont have any super powers or anything. They are just people especially trained in weaponry, mainly Revolvers, hence the name Gunslinger. The following doors are very rare, and have actually only occured 4 times in the books. There is actually a point in the book which has the universe, then expands to many universes, AKA a multivers, which then zooms out to a blade of grass, saying that every atom could be a multiverse or universe, so maybe the stephen king one is either a minor multiverse, with the Dark tower at it's center, inside your multiverse, or next to your Multiverse. Anyway, the Gunslingers. They are basically Political Police of Mid-World, Rolands home. That world has nearly died, and Roland is the last original Gunslinger, but he is teaching people he meets and befriends the code and ways of the Gunslingers, so David is like a Junior/Apprentice Gunslinger, while Roland is the real thing. So th gunslingers have no special powers, but are just incredibly good with weapons, able to draw a revolver at extreme speeds. (they also believe in an over all god called Gan(Creator of everything, the thing at the top of the tower) and a sort of Destiny type thing called Ka, but these have no relevance really.)

[Quiksilver]

Well, in this story, there is only going to be one Multiverse, so why don't we just make it as I said and have them able to make portal's between the mini-verses in your universe? I'm going to do the same thing for my partner, since he too comes from a many-world novel, so it'd fit right in.

And BUMP. Hydra, I need you to post!!! All others, I need you to finish your apps!!!

[Magnet Soldier]

Fine. It is a great Idea, so okay.
