Degritone Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 One day, you get a strange E-Mail, the title of which nearly makes you believe it's spam, but you decide to open it and see what it says, anyway, as spam can be funny occasionally. For thousands of years, a world has existed parallel to ours, a world which many find the idea of ridiculous: Sozoryoku, the land of imagination. The knowledge about its existence allows you to enter and exit at will, looking to any outside observer to be you passing out as your consciousness takes form in Sozoryoku. Of course, you can enter by falling asleep, which is how many enter for the first time; they fall asleep and the perfect set of random thoughts happen in their unconscious brain that cause them to enter Sozoryoku. Within this world, you have the power to do anything you can imagine, from creating black holes you can carry in your palm to swords to mechs that can throw around galaxies; your imagination is the limit. One of them, anyway. Throughout the thousands of years, many have worked to create balance, by both limiting what you can do and how much of that you can do at once. Imagine Power, the pool of power that exists in this world is like a universal power limit that each person has. Expending too much of it too fast causes your imaginations to stay imaginations, rather than becoming real. The final limit is a set of rules on what you can and cannot create. 1. You cannot create life. 2. You cannot kill purely by imagination. You must fight first. 3. Everything has a weakness. 4. Nothing is unstoppable. 5. Nothing can be created inside another human. Once you die is Sozoryoku, you can never return. No matter what you can imagine, nothing can save you from this death penalty. To enter, all you have to do is imagine another version of you getting pulled from your body through a portal to a grassland, or fall asleep with this knowledge. I am telling you this not because I need your help, but because I believe everyone should have a chance to enter Sozoryoku by their own free will at least once. -K You've finished reading the E-Mail. Now it's up to you to decide what to do. [spoiler=How Imagination Works]While you may think that this is going to be an RP where you're allowed to be extremely overpowered, Imagine Power and your imagination are two factors that actually limit you a lot more than you would think. Try imagining a person. Now, imagine every single feature on them, from individual hairs to the lines on the knuckles. Hard, isn't it? Imagination is split into three categories: quantity, detail, and power. [spoiler=Quantity]Quantity is how much you can imagine. Quite obvious, really, but some people can only imagine a single rock while others can imagine entire battlefields worth of things. With quantity, you can make an entire mech army, if you have the power to sustain it. You can create and manipulate hundreds of things at once with high quantity in your imagination. People with high quantity tend to be people who see the big pictures rather than the individual steps of things.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Detail]Detail is, well, detail. Most of the time, you give up quantity for detail, or vice-versa. Detail allows you to take a sword and make it sharp, a gun and give it rifling, or a mech and make it have rocket launchers. With it, you can make a chair comfortable, do precision work like surgery, or teleport. Wondering why teleportation is here? To teleport, you have to be able to imagine yourself physically disappearing, then reappearing elsewhere, with the new view of the area what you see. People with high detail tend to be people who get stuck on the insignificant details, such as color of a single pixel of a 5000x5000 picture.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Power]Power is how easy it is to make things. The more powerful your imagination, the less Imagine Power it takes to sustain and create things. While it's much more common to have low quantity and low detail with high-power imagination, it's not unheard of to have someone with amazing power and great detail or quantity. With it, you can make a bomb have the explosive power of a nuclear warhead, make a shield that's nearly unbreakable, or even make a device that people can use to easily create new objects with more detail or quantity than they normally would be able to by using your detail or quantity instead. People with high power tend to be people that feel they must protect everyone, even at the risk of their own life.[/spoiler] Imagine Power is also a limiting factor. An average imagination gets you a single, stationary object for 24 hours. Things like mechs last significantly shorter, especially if they create beams or such. The more quantity you have, the less IP it takes to make many objects, although the more there are the more frail each one will be, such as making an entire mech army at the IP cost of just a single mech. The more detail, the less imagine power it takes to make individual objects, and they will be much stronger, but each individual object will cost the same amount of IP, opposite that of quantity. The more power, the less the IP cost of each imagination is, and the less it takes to create extremely powerful attacks, shields, and other such things. If you have a question about where something would go, feel free to ask me.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Rules]a. All IC posts require at least 4 lines of text, or roughly 100 words at standard formatting. b. Posting in script format is forbidden. c. Copy-pasting or “expying” characters without tailoring them to the new roleplay is forbidden. d. Have fun.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Locations/The World]Sozoryoku's planet is quite small, but dense. Its base gravity is equal to that of Earth, but it isn't round. For once, the people saying the world is flat are correct. 100 miles wide by 75 miles tall, it is pretty small, although it does infinitely loop. Leave one edge of the world, and you find yourself at the other edge. [spoiler=Spiral Tower]Spiral Tower is about 13 miles from the north west corner, reaching up into the sky beyond what we can see. Many have attempted to reach the top, but even teleportation stops working once you get within fifteen feet, and all flight ceases to work long before that. Rumors say reaching the top will give you the power to have perfect imagination.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Roz]Roz is the town surrounding the Spiral Tower. Within its boundaries lies many kind people, all of which have given up living in the real world. While they may come off as extreme occasionally, you can always trust a Rozian.[/spoiler] [spoiler=The Bladewood Forest]Covering over 70 miles of the northern border of Sozoryoku is the Bladewood Forest. The trees within appear to be normal cherry blossoms at first, but their petals have the ability to cut anything, no matter how well made or how near-invincible you made it.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Central City]As the name implies, Central City lies in the center of Sozoryoku. Being the biggest settlement in all of Sozoryoku, over 70% of people live within its borders. It's considered one of the safest places in Sozoryoku, as many people who are well-versed in imagination live here.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Important People]Here's a list of just a few of the important citizens of Sozoryoku, along with a small profile. [spoiler=Jess]"I love creating things. If you need it made, I can make it." Age: 16 Gender: Female Appearance: Short, brown hair, wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and a blacksmith apron. Brown eyes. 5'10" Interests: Creating anything from swords to mech parts, disassembling and deconstructing objects others have created to learn what makes them tick, and making people smile by helping out Abilities: The most powerful imagination in all of Sozoryoku, but without detail or quantity, she has the rare ability to create objects that do not take imagine power to sustain. Her lack of detail limits what she can make to ingots and other very basic things, with the plus that you know that they're going to take a lot to break. A novice swordsman and even worse with guns and technology, she lacks in the offensive department. Base equipment: Smithing hammer Personality: Always wanting to make people smile, she often helps the newbies learn the ropes. Other: Lives in her shop on the southern edge of Central City"By far the best blacksmith in the universe, anything Jess creates is bound to last you forever." - One of Jess's customers[/spoiler] [spoiler=Ismund]"As long as I can keep the city safe, I'll gladly give up my life for these people." Age: 24 Gender: Male Appearance: Very short, black hair, wearing a black V-neck T-shirt and black jeans. Blue eyes. Scar on the left side of his neck. 6'2" Interests: Training, fighting, and helping everyone with everyday problems. Abilities: The best swordsman to live in Central City, he's able to even take on crazy mechs with nothing but a sword. He lacks quantity and power, but he sure does make up for it in detail. He can easily create a portal that leads anywhere or teleport with ease. Base equipment: A 6' long great sword and black armor, both created by Jess Personality: A very caring man, he's willing to risk his life to save even one other. Other: One of the few people who life in Central City that never leave Sozoryoku"One of the kindest men I've ever met." -Random old lady[/spoiler] [spoiler=K][Data Missing]"Not much is known about this mysterious K person who's been sending E-mails to anyone and everyone. There's a rumor going around that he's the creator of this world." -Bar tender[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Application]"Qoute" Name: Make something up. Doesn't have to be realistic, nor does it have to be insanely crazy. Age: Can be anything between 14 and 100. Gender: Male/Female Appearance: Don't use images. Interests: Stuff they like. Personality: Included just because I had to. If you couldn't have figured it out because of the quotes, then meh. Abilities: How good are you, and at what? What's your best imagination aspect? Base equipment: Any weapons/armor they call from their imagination for a fight without having to think about doing so Other: (optional)"Quote from some random individual" -What random individual they are (optional, cannot be a quote about your Sozoryoku version, as you have not visited there yet)[/spoiler] [spoiler=Accepted Applications][spoiler=Degritone]"This is a world everyone should enjoy." Name: Degritone Age: 16 Gender Male Appearance: White, V-neck, T-shirt, grey and black biking gloves, a ring with a blue gem on his right ring finger, black shorts, and sandles. Green eyes. Hair that has not been cared for in years down to just above his eyebrows. 6' Interests: Video games, cute things, pushing his limits in fights he shouldn't be able to win. Abilities: Power only bested by Jess with detail rivaling Ismund's, but quantity so bad he can only have two things he created at one time. Amazing swordsman. Base equipment: Custom made 6' long great sword, light enough to him to be swung like a twig, but heavy enough in actuality to cut through nearly everything, both due to its sharpness and the punch it packs. A black cloak that automatically moves to block any attack, negating 25% of the damage that would have been done. It automatically heals itself over ten seconds after having an attack cut it. Personality: Gets bored easily, and accepts any challenge thrown at him to stave it off. Often gets lost in thought."He's always been the best I've known at games and his imagination is wild. A world made from imagination would suit him well." -Friend from school Owner: Degritone[/spoiler] [spoiler=Taro Yamada]"It's not like I give a s*** or anything, don't think I'll help you again." Name: Taro Yamada Age: 17 Gender: Male Appearance: Long black hair tied into a ponytail, wears a light blue dirty-looking jacket and black track pants. Has black sandals. Has a girl's face but his body stature is huge enough that it's hard to mistake him for a girl, but not so large that he looks downright unnatural. Interests: Comedy shows, chinese cartoonz(anime), plastic modelling, collecting tea cups, money Abilities: While his imagination and parameters are mostly average, his speed at imagining up things is almost instantaneous regardless of the subject. Likewise, he turns back into imagination things he doesn't need the moment he's done with it. He doesn't bother to keep things existing for long, and instead focuses on boosting the quality as much as possible for a single use. He can imagine up a great number of things at the same time, or he can imagine up something with great quality, because he doesn't bother to have them last more than seconds, thus conserving a lot of imagine power as well. Due to his focus on speed, he cannot imagine complex equipment such as guns(Since he'd need to imagine its inner workings) or modern weaponry. He compensates for the lack of range with imagining throwing knives already in motion, for example. Base equipment: None. He regards the situation first and then imagines up the weapons he'd need for the job on the go. Personality: A male tsundere. Tries to act tough but is a big softie on the inside. Other: Likes sweet things. "He's hard to talk to, but he gets things done fast and efficiently. Don't be too hard on him." - His teacher's impression on him. Owner: Mitcher[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Achievement List]Here's a list of special events. It's up to you to find them. I won't be the one to find them unless me just doing what I do causes me to. Some are dependent on others to have been completed, others are their own entities. No hints, except the one given with each. [spoiler=Spiral Tower and the Secret Within]Location: Top of Spiral Tower[/spoiler] [spoiler=A Challenger Approaches!]Prerequisite: Spiral Tower and the Secret Within[/spoiler] [spoiler=The Secret of Bladewood Forest]Location: Center of Bladewood Forest.[/spoiler] [spoiler=It Must Be Destiny]Must not have completed "A Challenger Approaches!"[/spoiler] [spoiler=This Wasn't Here Before...]Location: Roz[/spoiler] [spoiler=That Took Longer Than Expected]Prerequisite: This Wasn't Here Before...[/spoiler] [spoiler=The Reign Begins]Prerequisite: A Challenger Approaches![/spoiler] [spoiler=A World All My Own]Prerequisite: Spiral Tower and the Secret Within[/spoiler] There are others, but I don't want to spoil anything. While, yes, this is a sandbox, there is a story which you may choose to put in motion/ignore entirely. If you have an idea for an achievement, PM me and I'll see if I can fit it into the world.[/spoiler] 5+ people minimum to start, including myself, and anyone can join at any time, provided they at least know if something important is happening. If you plan to leave after it's started, please give anyone inside the RP world who your absence would affect (party members, for example) a reason as to why you've got to leave. One good thing about this world is that you can enter and leave as you please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aix Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Needs rules and spot in application for personality. http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/196225-roleplay-forum-rules-both-ic-and-ooc/ 24 hours to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degritone Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Added the things I need. I'll fix everybody's things after I wake up from my slumber. I'm too sleepy to even type this without a hundred errors on my first try, let alone personality madoos. Mitcher, please do so, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Changed the Other part to Personality. Should be enough if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degritone Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Changed the Other part to Personality. Should be enough if you ask me. That's actually a really smart idea. Makes everyone not have to do as much work that I didn't intend for them to do, if they do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
