Free for All- Battle for Ænigma RP

[Davok]

Long ago before the existence of the Earth and the creation of this universe, there lived another, even more powerful universe. This universe was known as Ænigma, and it was considered a Paradise. There were thousands of worlds and dimensions connected to each other in Ænigma, and everyone lived peacefully. But, a group of beings feared that the power accumulating in Ænigma was becoming to great. This group was known as the Guardians. The Guardians constructed a device in a hidden reality, and with it, the Guardians destroyed many worlds and dimensions in Ænigma that had accumulated to much power. With this they kept the balance. But eventually the Guardians were destroying to many dimensions, so the mighty Jusk Empire led by Emperor Zortak waged war on the Guardians. But the Guardians themselves became too powerful, and many Guardians were corrupted by their own power. These corrupted Guardians became known as the Dread Lords, and sought to destroy Ænigma. Then another organization of heroes entered the field, calling themselves the Gate Keys. Soon the Jusk Empire, Guardians, Dread Lords and Gate Keys were at eachother’s throats. Who shall win this purely destructive war for Ænigma?

 

That's the plot. But before we go into the characters, I'd like to tell you about a feature in this RP. At the beginning, you start out with NOTHING. Zit, Zang, NOTHING! Level 1, POP! The reason for this is that it makes the RP way more interesting and enriching seeing other characters `evolve' over time. Also, I will RP as the leader of the Guardians, who holds the dimension destroying weapon. Basically, if you god mode or get to powerful, then the Guardians will fire on your dimension and destroy both your character and your dimension, and all the timelines and plots inside of it.

 

Next, I'm not asking you to keep to any plot or story. This is an RP'ing Free for All- do anything you want with your own dimension's plot and storyline. Run loose, I mean it. Anyway, to the RULES!

 

Rules

1. Look at the RP'ing rules and the enclosed instruction book of roleplays. In case your blind, just move the mouse around and start clicking. You'll find it... eventually.

2. God-mode and your dimension and plotline will be completely destroyed and you'll be virtually `kicked out' of this here RP.

 

Races

 

Here are the races that inhabit the Ænigma Universe. Each of them inhabit one of the four factions. Well, here it is.

 

[spoiler=Guardian Races]

 

Necrodes

The Necrodes are ethereal beings created each time an Enigman star explodes, when the ethereal energies connect and form a sentient being. Necrodes are the founders and bulk of the Guardians, they have great speed, magical ability, but have very bad endurance during hand to hand combat situations. Ironically, the Necrodes are also lackeys of the Dread Lords.

Number of Necrodes available: 100

 

Arceans

The Arceans are a tall race whose empire was destroyed by the Jusk twelve hundred years ago. Fearing the power of the Jusk and hoping to destroy them, the Arceans joined the Guardians and became a bulk of their army. Arceans have great hand to hand combat and endurance, but their defense against ranged artillery is terrible.

Number of Arceans available: 100

 

Old Dragons

Wise beings, the Dragons are said to be the oldest beings in the universe. But the Old Dragons were different- they handled things the old fashion way- destroy beings with too much power. Most of them were wiped out by the Gods when they themselves became to powerful. Now the remaining 50 Old Dragons have joined the Guardians to continue their `trade'. Old Dragons walk on the ground, and their strengh and endurance is incredible. But, they have a great weakness to fire and water, which is a reason why Old Dragons stay away from wet or dry areas. Old Dragons are usually officers over the Arceans.

Number of Old Dragons available: 20

I require an RP sample of your character if you wish to be this race.

 

 

[spoiler=Jusk Empire Races]

 

Jusks

The Jusks are the main population of the Jusk Empire, one of the greatest interdimensional empires in the universe. They are a race of powerful and intelligent ox like humanoids who's tactics outwits even the smartest opponents. Jusks have superb intelligence, strengh, and speed. But, their somewhat clumsy and tend to charge ahead at the enemy. They are also weak to magic.

Number of Jusks available: 20

I require an RP sample of your character if you wish to be this race

 

Dracons

The Dracons were one of the first races that the Jusks conquered and annexed. Dragonoid creatures, Dracons due most of the manual labor of the Jusk army, and also most common soldiers. They can't breath fire but their fangs and shear ferocity make up for that. Unfortunately, their complacement and can be easily fooled.

Number of Dracons available: 100

 

Nugbarrs

The Nugbarr Republic is a race whose genes gave way to prehistoric humans. They are intelligent but unfortunately were annexed into the Jusk Empire. They are incredible and witty tacticians and soon became officers in the Jusk army to command over the Dracons. They are quick to act, but their fighting skills leave a lot to be desired, and they usually bug out of a fight whenever it goes to them.

Number of Nugbarrs available: 100

 

 

[spoiler=Dread Lords Races]

 

Necrodes

The Necrodes that deserted the Guardians to work for the Dread Lords. Some Necrodes even are Dread Lords, who became too overpowered. Necrodes are unique because they are the only servitors of the Dread Lords who are dedicated to them loyally.

Number of Necrodes(Dread Lords) available: 50

 

Dread Lords

Dread Lords once were Guardians, but became so powerful that they deserted the Guardians and went to destroy the universe. They can be any race. Dread Lords are practically masters of any art and, if given time might become almost invincible, if he isn't killed off by Guardians first. If your a Dread Lord, you start off as a minor Dread Lord(which is still pretty darn powerful) but you cannot venture out of your own dimension until the other players become as powerful as you, and you can only interact telepathically with other characters, mess with their minds, etc.

Number of Dread Lords available: 5

I need a REALLY good RP sample of your character for this.

 

 

[spoiler=Gate Keys Races]

 

Oortians

The Oortians are a race of sentient beings who prefer peace over battle. Most of them are cyborgs who leave a typical religious monk life. This race joined the Gate Keys in the hope of spreading their beliefs and ideals throughout the universe and convert them. Oortians are practically useless in combat, but their extreme manipulators and masters of psychology and healing.

Number of Oortians available: 100

 

Kryns

The Kryns are an Oortian clan who were banished from Oortia due to their violent ways of converting people. They are typically the Jihads of the universe, and this race hoped to get in the Oortian good books by joining the Gate Keys, and hopefully convert the Jusk Empire into their beliefs. Kryns are naturally violent, and tend to not think before acting.

Number of Kryns available: 100

 

S.T.A.R.

Nobody knows much about S.T.A.R. They only know that they are a race of heroic cyborgs created about a hundred years ago, and have been washing the universe with their attributes of virtue ever since. They are the ones who started the Gate Keys, and wish to annihilate all trouble in the universe once again. A Star is skilled in every form of combat and has extreme speed prowess. But, they also tend to rush into things without thinking.

Number of Stars available: 100

FINALLY I'm done... I think I've said all there is to say. This Lord Davok, signing off.

[Guest Supreme Gamesmaster]

I have a few points.

 

1. Nice GalCiv references. You own the game yet?

 

2. This is entirely off-topic, but you should join Umbra's RP. If you do, be sure to PM Umbra your application; when he says useful, he means it.

 

3. The dimension-destroying thing was similar to my original concept for Majyk VS Psyonnik, in which godmodding would result in the destruction of Mirage and the end of the RP.

 

4. I do plan on joining this RP, before anyone asks.

 

Name: Exarion d'Ytednis (OoC: Please ignore the blatant call for a crossover and continue.)

Age: ∞, as is custom for Dread Lords.

Faction: Dread Lords

Race: Dread Lords

Home Dimension name: Er, I have no idea what you mean by this.

Starting Point(The town or place your character starts at): Ditto to above.

Personality:

 

Ah, Exarion d'Ytednis. The man with the lonely eyes, the master of puppets, the great pretender. Always pulling the strings, Exarion prefers not to use his great power. This is probably due to his higher sense of honor in comparison to the other Dread Lords. He always ensures that they don't go too far, though his own need for domination is too great to even think about hindering their goal. Even with the almighty master of the Dread Lords, Exarion enjoys an often subtle, always somewhat friendly battle of wills; Exarion pays too much respect to the great lord — and his power — to really try and manipulate or outwit the dark monarch except in the most dire of situations. Almost all of his minions are voluntary Necrodes.

 

History:

 

Exarion was born an Old Dragon, to two devoutly law-abiding parents. He was raised in the mold, taught nothing but society's expectations, and of the greatness of the Old Dragons' cause. They taught him how one had to totally surrender oneself to a team effort to really get something done. They taught him that in every case, a single being cannot amass too much power, because teamwork was the true way of life, and that one would be left completely alone if power were one's best companion.

 

Unfortunately for them — and, arguably, the rest of the infinite universe — the parents made two critical mistakes. The first was that, in raising Exarion, they were heavily punishment-oriented, and rewarded little; they thought of him as they thought he ought to think of himself, as a tool rather than an individual being. Exarion has no fond memories of his parents, as he thought more as a human than as a Dragon, believing in individuality.

 

Second, they emphasized the importance of 'fitting the mold.' They emphasized that every being should be exactly the same, acting as one massive, collective unit; they claimed that multicellular sentients should behave as cells in a body do, with each serving their purpose and doing nothing more. Again, Exarion rebelled strongly against this mindset, privately thinking that he had to make a name for himself.

 

He kept this to himself for many years, however, as he rose through the ranks of the Guardians with is great intelligence. His rapid progression was controversial, but among the less strict races, Exarion was a blessing rather than a curse. He eventually began to secretly amass power from the destroyed dimensions, absorbing the strength of many dying stars. Unbeknownst to him, six other beings across Ænigma's world were doing the same thing.

 

Eventually, they met, when trying to all siphon power from a single universe. Realizing that collectively, their power was far greater when combined than when alone, they joined together, forming the Dread Lords. Exarion knows nothing of the fate of his family or peers, but one thing is certain: he doesn't care.

 

Quote: "It doesn't matter how strong you are, if your opponent can hit you where it hurts. If you have no strength, you can't get around your opponent's defense; you're still worthless. A combination of the two... immense power, applied where a mere touch can cripple an enemy... the only being worth calling oneself a warrior... that's me."

 

RP Sample: Can we take it from another RP, or does it have to be new?

Name: Genesis Fair

Age: Infinite (Chronologically 32)

Faction: Dread Lords

Race: Dread Lord

Home Dimension Name: Amaldia

Starting Point: Amalda Castle

 

Personality:

 

Genesis Fair. A name known across the whole galaxy and most likely further. A name synonomous with one thing. Sheer Arrogance. This arrogance blinds him to most all things, but thankfully, he isn't arrogant all of the time. Just most times. When he isn't praising himself and dancing in front of a mirror, Genesis is surprisingly social and kind. To other Dread Lords, of course, not the filthy Guardians. He is short-tempered, however, so as social and kind as he may be, not many people want to get close to him. For this reason, he has grown very cold recently, and he is starting to become a very witdrawn being. This coldness has caused him to reveal his true intelligence, and he may be one of the smartest beings we have encountered in years. Whatever the case, Genesis is growing, both in mind and body, and I don't think anyone save himself knows what he will become.

 

~The Journal of Great Beings, Thrax Anidor.

 

History:

 

According to our records, Genesis Fair's life began in a small home on a small world called Earth, orbiting the star Sol. He was raised by two loving parents, who spoilt him and fulfilled his every wish. In those times, unfortunately, bandits were common, and raided his home, killing his parents and burning down the house. All this was after they stole most of the valuables from the house, of course. His parents, being the kind ones they were, put Genesis in an escape pod built into the back of their house before they died. The escape pod took the sleeping Genesis to an estate owned by another rich family. The faily recognizing what had happened because of the urgency of the escape pod, took him in and raised him as their own. This family, we believe, is where he got his current surname from. Genesis, filled with grief and thoughts of revenge, refused to talk to anyone until one day, 5 years later, when the daughter of the family, one Crystal Fair, entered into his presence, desiring to know of his past. Genesis, as was his custom, tried to force her away, using threats and insults. Crystal persisted however, and, curious about her curiosity, he started to tell her the tragic tale. After this event, Genesis and Crystal entered into a relatonship. This continued for many years in secret, until the family finally found out. Genesis and Crystal were officially disowned, and banished to the harsh wastelands of a place they called "Nevada Desert". While traversing this place, Crystal died of heatstroke. Genesis reverted to his old self, filled with anger and grief. He returned to the Fair household, and using a ceremonial katana found om one of the walls of the main hall, slaughtered the family. Sittinng there, in the pools of blood and various body parts, he was visited by a figment of his imagination, that told him to seek more power, to avenge his loved ones. This he did, searching the whole galaxy for more power, which he found in the Dread Lords. They welcomed him into their fold, and he learnt of their power. And now he resides in this world, scheming, waiting...

RP Sample: Same question as SGY.

[Davok]

In Battle for Ænigma, your character starts out in a dimension, and progresses and has many adventures and stuff afterwards until finally when he either defeats his mortal enemy and such or evil from his dimension, a portal opens up sending him to the MD (Master Dimension) of Ænigma, where the final battle will take place. There can also be crossovers in the RP'ers different dimensions, too, and you can make a number of minor characters from your home dimension at your command. Basically, you make your own story in your dimension, there can also be crossovers.

 

I should have specified that in the first post. But anyway, write down your Home Dimension and Starting Point and I'll accept them.

 

EDIT: BlueKyuubi accepted. Just give me a sec...

[Kyub]

What about the RP Sample?

[Davok]

Aw... gimme a break. I don't need a sample from SGY... and not you. My laziness compels me to not request an RP sample from you because I trust your RP'ing ability... and stuff like that.

[Guest Supreme Gamesmaster]

I'll start in... The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension, The Different Dimension.
