    Oh this time I might be joining again perhaps ^.^

    Hmm... themes....


    What about... a small group of people stranded on an isolated island and are trying to find a way to flee... but they've a time limit... since the island is cursed no one can stay longer than X days there otherwise some great evil will be summoned/everyone dies.
    And the island is surrounded by some kind of magical fog, so no ships can come nearby and you can't just swim away...

    The other ideas I have can't be played without a game moderator...

    Naturally, you can count on me being a part of this. I just hope we can actually get some people to play, since we've been short of our usual posters as of late.


    As for ideas, why not tap into an older idea, that of people from modern times getting put into a magically oriented world? It may have been done to death in movies and books, but hey, it may be fun as an RP. Plus, it also has a bit of open ended-ness (they don't get back and continue living in the magic world), so that if this peters out, it won't be so bad.

    But, as I've said for all of them, it's really up to you what you want to do Grippie.

    I'll join, like I normally do. But my posts may come at random times.

    Also, don't expect me to do much posting if we begin today because right now i'm so tired that I can barely make correct sentences, let alone type my normal 3rd person paragraph style.


    As for character sheet I can make up a quick one when we get going for everyone to use if they want. I think i got enough brain power working right now for that.

    of course Kage (: I just figured this could a be a release from everything. So it's up to y'all, I actually really like Silvy's idea, but I also like Lai's too.

    So do y'all want, Stuck on an island or sent to a magical world?

    Thanks Life for setting up a character doo dad thingy... I'll post an "official" (i guess) one once we set up a theme, and I can start the introduction.

    If we can't decide, we could also combine those two ideas.

    Like a group of people in the present/future days find a portal in a park someday and after entering it they "stranded" on that mysterious island, making the best out of the situation.

    Question would be whether it's open ended or within a time frame...

    Open ended would probably be better, just because of the (unfortunate) state of the off topics these days.

    Personally, I think it's better to start just after we get to the island. Like we were sent to the island, and have been knocked out, and we start by waking up.


    Just a quick question though, should our chars have special powers, or should they just be normal people? Or maybe a combo of the two?

    Hmm... normal people would be boring D:

    It would be great if every character has one or two self-chosen special ability (nothing too almighty of course o_o)

    If we allow the use of powers, I would say they would need to be strictly controled and pertain to survival on the island. Nothing to fancy (like splitting moleclues), but nothing too weak (like can't even make a stupid spark).

    Ok, so each of us gets a power. That is, one. A single ability, so long as it's not something completely overpowered, nor can it be something that equals instant escape (no long distance teleporting or opening warp holes or anything). We should probably list these in the character creation, just so we each know what we're dealing with.


    I already have an idea of what mine will be.

    Which sounds more reasonable?

    Ability for control of fire?
    or
    Ability for control of water?

    One would be helpful to keep clean water, and kill/cook food. The other would be more attack oriented and I would need to keep/make fires on the go.

    Alright, one power.

    Are there any more questions to be dealt with?


    Like... this is a non-particular-pwi-related rpg, right? So that in the middle of the play no one suddenly uses any in game skills or so o_o


    EDIT:
    I'd say Fire Control...^^

    Silvy: I'd say that yes, it is a non-PWI based rpg.

    So powers from PWI would not be tolerated by the person who is GM'ing the game.

    Maybe not. If you choose a power that resembles something in PWI (i.e, the ability to transform into an animal), then it should be ok. But getting all the skills from a class probably isn't the best idea.

    ok yes one power I agree. Then instead of having a teleport... hmmm let me see... intro...


    I enjoy us being friends so that's what we'll be


    Introduction!: A group of friends were walking down river street in Tybee Island (this is in Savannah, GA) It was their summer vacation, and they were all having a marvelous time going into the candy, novelty, ice cream, and clothing shops. One of the girls (this'll be my character haha) wanted to go in the gypsy's palm reading room. Everyone else disagreed, but she really wanted to. Instead of the gypsy reading her palm, she looked into the crystal ball. "Hard times, adventure, and... odd abilities?... are at store for you all in short time." The friend's walked out of the smokey room all wondering what this could mean. Later that day they walked to the board walk over the ocean. As they were enjoying their view, a helicopter came down. The friend's huddled together as the wind blew around. A green gas filled the air and all of the friends blacked out.


    My Character!:
    Name: Alice (I think it would be cool if y'all wanted to use ur real life names)
    Race: Female
    Description: Dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, tan skin, short, has a slightly upturned nose, isn't 'skinny' but isn't 'fat' and has abs (u can use what u look like irl too ;) )
    Personality: Is as sweet as can be until you **** her off. She can't stand rudness, ignorance, or stupidity- even though she has blonde moments haha- She has a love for everyone and will respect you until you do something to get that respect taken away. She can be mature when times call for it, but -i wouldnt say immature- is fun at most times
    Special Ability: Able to send a searing pain through your body causing you to cease up and have convolsions (:


    Ok next poster can start the IC post make sure to post you profile, and if y'all want me to be the first IC post I can do that

    I'll give my char here, but I don't think I'll start the IC posts here.

    Name: Random (Is it my real name? Is it a fake name? You never know. b:sin)

    Gender: Male (Gender isn't a race Grippie b:chuckle)

    Description: Has black hair and hazel eyes. He isn't very tall, but he tries to keep in shape as much as he can.

    Personality: Most of the time, he is a careful person that tends to notice small things (but doesn't always see the bigger picture). For the most part, he is quiet and prefers to listen. Then there are times when he lives up to his name, and talks surprisingly quickly, often about very little. During these times he can be very entertaining.

    Ability: Shadow manipulation. He can alter the shape and density of shadows, to the point where they become hard as steel. He can't produce shadows, and he also can't change the overall size of a shadow (the shadow will always stay the same size, even if the shape changes so that it seems like it gets larger or smaller).

    I'll leave the IC to the next person since I'm trying to fix my *** client....Damn their updates **** up my patcher =.=


    Name: Nick (Is it real? Fake? Unknown <---)

    Gender: Male

    Special Power: Ability to control fire. He can control fire enough to use it at a distance of up to 35 ft, he uses it to hunt for food, cook anything he wants, and to keep a fire going. Main use of the fire control is to sustain his life, and that of anybody with him.

    Personality: Can be quite hot headed at times, and is known to be brash. Not to easy to anger, but when you do it's like you set off a chain of volcanoes that are going to burn you alive with no escape. Very relaxed and easy going, doesn't have too great a memory, will usually forget peoples names but will always remember a face.

    Bio: *Will leave to the imagination*

    Name: Gly(is it real? is it fake? noone knows >.>)

    Gender: Male

    Description: Has an average height, happy and funny most of the time but can be really angry and do crazy things if he's pissed which isnt most of the time. Has blonde hair, is human, and was raised by a really happy family. Has glowy blue-green eyes.

    Special Power: Gly has the ability to control lightning like bringing thunderstorms and summoning lighting but it takes some time. He also uses this power to save people by reviving them. He's also very dangerous to touch when there is a storm because he might shock you.

    No, sorry. My name is not Jack.

    And just a quick question Life, but does your guy's power involve just controlling fire that already exists, or can he also produce fire himself?

    He is able to produce it at the cost of ~5 mins of his own life span being subtracted.

    Amount of life will increase depending on how big of a flame he tries to create with no flame.


    But, if he has a small flame, or spark as a base without having to summon his own. He is able to make them to a good size by allowing the flame to get more "fuel" from the surroundings. :)

    I'll give this a shot. Also using this to get in-character for a different RP too, I guess.

    Name: Lula (I assume we're all just using first names here?)
    Gender: Female
    Description: She is about 5'7" and well-built. Her hair is a plain brown and about shoulder-length in the front while being shorter in the back. Her head is rather round and her eyes are bright blue.
    Personality: Usually taciturn and methodical, but is very kind and charitable once people get to know her. However, she tends to lose it if something bad happens to those she loves.
    Special Ability: Telekinesis, basically. It cannot be used on something she cannot see though.

    Real-Life names...? Not this time D: Cuz I wanna role a male guy this time...

    Name: Ethel
    Appearance: Young lanky guy of an average size with light brown hair and thoughtful gray eyes, looks a bit pale and unhealthy though.

    Personality:
    Ethel is some kind of a dreamer, calm, friendly and resolute. He's loyal to his friends and tries to avoid direct fights. Sometimes he might seem absent-minded and distant, but that's because of his dreamy personality. He hardly loses his temper and chooses by himself to be more of a loyal follower, no leader. Even if he'd make a good one. Ethel wants to be accepted as who he really is and his peace. He seems to follow some kind of moral codex, and if one of his companion is being not nice to someone else, he is conscienceless and impulse-bound in punishing the one at fault to keep up the discipline in the group.

    Special Ability:
    He can send anyone he touches to sleep immediately. And can even mastermind what the one will be dreaming (nightmare or good dream).

    OOC: Since nobody has done the IC yet, i'll do mine.

    IC: Nick opened his eyes to see a bright sunlight glaring into them. He blinked a few times to adjust his eyes and to give him a moment break from the light. After he could tell the sky and sun apart he began to sit up from being flat on his back. He looked around and could see his friends were also all asleep.
    He looked out past where their bodies where laid and could see a dense jungle. He could hear the sounds of waves crashing on the beach somewhere out in the distance. He began to wonder where he was at. Looking around it seemed to be some sort of jungle, on an island, maybe?

    He tried to stand up, but was very wobbly and fell back down to his knee's and hands. He could tell his body was drained of energy and he needed some sort of food.
    He quickly scanned the surrounding tree's and brush until he noticed some sort of bird standing outside the bush staring at him. He reached his arm in the direction of the bird, as if trying to reach his arm far enough to capture it. Nick intensely stared at the bird and kept saying in a whisper of a voice "...just...a little....more...."
    Then his eyes flew wide open as the bird burst into flames. Nick became shocked and stunned on the moment it happened. He didn't understand what occurred at all but knew that for some reason he had just caught himself, and his friends when they wake up some food. He crawled over to the bird and grabbed it, and pulled it back to where he was. He dusted it off and looked it over, it seemed to be safe and nothing looked to be wrong with it. So he tore off a leg and began to eat it. He could feel his body regaining some form of energy and he could feel his leg strength coming back to him.
    "I'll need to wake them up soon." he said as he was eating the leg. But he couldn't keep himself from wandering where they were all at...

    OOC: Finally! And I guess it's okay to post right now... last post was just my character info...


    IC:
    Ethel blinked. He was lying on ... sand? Was it sand? With his eyes still closed he sifted with a single hand through the ground, sand trickling through his fingers. He blinked again. The sky was of an intense blue... and looked different than the sky in the city... He moaned as the sun blended his now fully open eyes for a second.
    Turning his head away from the sun, he saw a person standing there... eating something. He shaded his eyes with his hand and looked more careful. "Nick...?", he murmured. He rose up and stumbled nearer.
    "Nick? What are you eating...?", Ethel asked, ignoring his environment to focus on Nick.
    Suddenly he stopped and became fully aware of what really mattered. Blue sky. Sand. Water...? Sea...
    "Island? Wha...", now he was completely confused. He continued walking to Nick when he stepped over a sea shell on the ground. "Ahhh..." he shouted out and fell down. He landed on Nick, one hand on his face.
    "Sorry, Nick...", he started, when he saw that Nick was knocked out. "Was that me? Oh my god, how could I... why..." He cocked his head. "Asleep...? How..." Ethel stood up and looked down on his palm. Then his eyes wandered to the now sleeping Nick, in front of him that bird he was eating. He shrugged and picked up the food, nibbling on the meat. He turned around, threw a careful look on his friends lying on the beach and sat down on some rock.
