In a forgotten age where the gift of the Gods, sorcery, was free to roam the world, a terrible war between the nations raged for centuries. Millions were lost, the earth was painted with more of their blood every day, all due to the immense power unlocked to simple, mortal men by sorcery. In sight of the tragedies that befell the human kind daily, a brave and bold man named Anemos decided to find the source of magic and destroy it once and for all, so that no one could abuse it further; watching his enchanted compass, he traveled through sea and mountain and sky, determined to do the impossible. Indeed, as he begun to realize, it was impossible to destroy magic, for it was not man-made. He would have it moved instead, removing it from the facilities of humanity. His efforts caused his world to rip in two... two worlds, each of which continued to grow naturally, unscathed, separated from each other - but one with, and one without magic. In halving a singular world into two, not only did he lose his compass, but he committed the ultimate hybris. A felony against the Gods, who had gifted mankind with sorcery so that it may prosper further. Angered, they laid a heavy curse on Anemos and banished him in the second world, to dwell on the realm of magic that he hated so. Ever since then, the two worlds grew separately... but Anemos's work was not left as complete as he would like to think. Millennia further on in time, up until the present, it was said that a connection between the two worlds existed - thus making traversing through the two worlds possible. Men begun speaking of the Breach, a typhoon of unearthly, unholy winds that carried any who wandered within it to the realm of magic... where the cursed winged spirit of Anemos soars the skies, in search for his lost compass.

Seems some advertising is the thing to do here right now >_>

The Gijinka Project is now up and ready to accept characters! If you're interested in playing a human given supernatural pokemon powers and being an unwittingly important piece in a world about to break out in conflict then come have a look! The plan for the roleplay is to be a mix of open world and story driven; there will be a defined story happening and you will choose your place in it and how you influence things.

If any of the above sounds interesting to you then click that link above and have a look! :D

I have a brilliant idea that struck me when thinking about the spirits from avatar.... It's kinda like gijinka, however more futuristic, and contained within an area.

Spoiler:

Many, many, centuries ago a dark evil spread across the land from the alternate dimension of the earth. The parallel universe used to be the barrier between good and evil, yet someday that barrier un-naturaly broke, releaing dark spirits and allowing them to roam free. The world went into panic, houses were burnt, shops broken down, the whole political system fell to ashes, and the mania began to spread across every part of the globe. The dark spirits destroyed when they could, and remained guarding the sky for a fresh soul to burn. Within that hour of their release, a man name Argubel Deren came forth to the president with his solution, one only a mad man would even dream of doing, yet the president accepted his solution with hope of a better future.

The solution was far from simple. Many tests had begun in Area 51, and people had been taken out of their homes or safehouses out of their will to the area to be tested on. Argubel had come up with a theory, that the dark spirits could become light spirits, as night becomes day, and he even had the proof, a captured paralyzed dark spirit of a wolf. He and his team admired after time how the wolf changed colour from grey to white, and it's ghostly form vanished and was replaced by a physical body. With this he concluded that all imobile spirits turn physical once stabalised, and began work on his next trick, fusing with a human. He discovered that in a physical form, the spirits could not be easily transfered into a human body, thus a dark spirit would have to be paralyzed and transfered in quickly before it got a physical form. Only 12 spirits were successfully transfered into the human body. His predictions were accurate, and as the spirits were transformed with their inactivity, they turned into a pysical form, however since they were inside the human, their bodies reacted in such a way that the two animals combined together, (human & spirit) to create a new breed of human.

The lab was later destroyed by the CIA who discovered the cruelty that was taking place to the humans, and read through all of Argubel's research, understanding how to fight the spirits. There had been no more spirits tracked down, (in other words, no more spirits could enter the alternate dimension) so when the world heard of how to defeat the spirits, everyone was in on it, rebelling against the spirits in the world and turning them into physical forms. The world regrew, and so did the families of the spirit people...

You are a descendant of one of the 12 families of spirit people, a humanoid in a sense, and you have control over how people see you, wether that be human, animal, or a bit of both. You also possess extraordinary powers, however unfortunately, if either your spirit self or your powers were to be shown to the general public, they would generally shred you to pieces remembering tragic history, and thinking you as an evil spirit. The CIA have sussed you out of the general rabble and placed you into a form of academy for you to revise upon your powers and to meet others like you. You have been moved from wherever you originated from to England without consent and are now situated far beneath London Tower. You can only go out into the light when the guards permit so, and when you do, and you fail to with-hold your spirit self, you are instantly shot down as others have before you. In here, you have to be strong willed, and survive, or your time will be miserable. You have no connection to family, friends or anyone for a matter of fact, which can be quite daunting too. This rp will be rough, tough, and an emotional roller coaster, with lots of chances for romance and violence.

I'd appreciate it if you would have a quick look to see if you would be interested in it or any improvements I could make... Also if someone was to help me and co-gm it with me I'd appreciate that too :)

Hey there, I just have a quick inquiry that has been playing on my mind lately. There are some people throughout the Roleplay Corner who have asked how to make the 'pretty backgrounds' for SU sheets and plot/GM thread posts. Though I am more than willing to help people learn the CSS form here on PC (or direct them to RHCP's great little guide) I am wondering if people would prefer templates to use instead? Learning CSS can be a tedious process, especially in the beginning stages where many things can go wrong with no knowledge of how to fix it.

If I started a CSS template shop of sorts where you can take different SU/Thread layouts and I give instructions on how to modify to your liking would anyone be interested?

I appreciate you guys letting me know. Thank you ~ :3

 

[Nate]

Sovereign if you did that I would love you and hug you and then let you see satan without him murdering you, which is quite the honor, then bring you back to earth and then ask for your autograph coz you'll be famous in my eyes. Am I over-exaggerating?

 

[Chalifoux]

@Sovereign. Like how Trade Shops have templates to copy and use? I think it could be done if people would like to. Either for SUs or RPs, I can see it working just great.

Although it's more about the contents of the CSS rather than the template itself so it's not really that necessary for making great plots/characters x3 Although it indeed is a nice extra if we could have "standard" templates of sorts available for grabs at any time :3

 

[Karma]

Oh I agree one hundred percent. The content is way more important than anything fancy you do on the exterior. It would just be for people who wanted to add a little extra. Like the topping on a cake or whatever. I just wanted to see if people were interested in standard templates.

Lol Crimson, I will note down that you are on board. Thanks for the response! I appreciate it.

 

[Nate]

your very welcome, I look forward to it :)

 

[disciplish]

Dang Sovereign, I would love that... I have too many problems with code already, so a template would really help!

 

[Sephear]

Yeah I have to say that sounds like a wonderful idea indeed Sovereign, you've got my support although it's not worth much.

 

[Ozymandias]

Ehrmegerd Soverign i love you pleasee XD i suck at CSS and all the CSS stuff i use i have to ask for from Elite (thanks bebe ;D) lol those templates would be sooo soo useful

 

[gimmepie]

Soverign, yes please.

I like the opening posts of my RPs to be well organised and appealing to look at but my CSS is mediocre at best so I really love the idea. Plus now I won't have to pester Resolution or Adventure all the time

 

[Sephear]

Soooo my first RP hasn't even started yet but I'm super lame and think about how everything I get really into might be a Roleplay so I'm gonna share my nonsense anyways, and my new av/sig combo sort of gives it away.

I couldn't stop myself from thinking "what if there was a roleplay about various young martial artists fighting for their respective beliefs like in 'History's strongest Disciple"? Characters would start with a base martial art and work up to develop their own style, and eventually people would be divided into Katsujinken and Satsujinken (The Saving Fist and The Killing Fist respectively) and shenanigans would ensue all throughout. It would be a very interesting story.

 

[RecursiveAcronym]

Sovereign, that would be really cool. Although I do think I should learn CSS at some point, a template would be a really nice basis point to build from/have until I stop being lazy and actually learn CSS.

 

[gimmepie]

@Seph - the idea is rather intriguing but those of us who know little of martial arts could be quite limited in what we could write.
