A full story post to shed a bit more light on the 'premise' of this RP will go up (hopefully) sometime tomorrow.
Short version: The Dark Mirror Knight known as Rymar is invading your dimension. (The 'real' world we live in now) While his motives are unclear, it is known that he seeks to unseal the Malice Mirror. If such a thing happens: It's malice will flood the world and devour everything.
To stop him the Rainbow Oricle known as Eliza Gave up her life to errect a set of Seven seals. These seals have created a new barrier around the Malice Mirror. Not only can Rymar no longer get near the mirror, due to this new barrier, but he defently can not find the key to unlocking the mirror's orginal seal.
Obviously Rymar seeks to destory the seven new seals and eventually break the Final True seal on the mirror.
The seven seals are, as expected, all mirrors. One for each of the seven colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Each seal was created by empowering a mirror with a 'rainbow shard'. The mirrors can be any shape, size, or type. From a compact hand mirror, to a full length antiqe mirror.
You the players will create your character to your specifications.
Rules:
Nothing but regular humans. It's fine if they have martal arts experience or marksmanship skills. (Anything believeable in real life) But no half demons, magic users, Ninjas, or samurai and the like.
This is modern day earth. If it's highly unlikely that you'd meet this person in the real world, it's unacceptable. There is a reason for this. (Basically I'm kinda looking for normal teenagers/adults)
Each of you will choose one of the seven colors. One color per person. First come first serve.
Once you've chosen your color you will choose just what type of mirror you're 'colored shard' is in. Remember, it can be any kind of mirror. Be creative.
Rules of the mirror:
The idea of the game is that when the player (That's you) looks into your 'empowered' mirror. It's power causes you're 'inner shelf' to take over your form. In other words: You're body becomes what you invision yourself to be. This is why I couldn't have ninjas or anything running around.
Example: Say you were a 35 year old guy, but you're 'ideal/inner self' is a busty 16 year old blond Ninja girl. The mirror will cause you to TAKE that form. All powers included.
HOWEVER keep the powers under control. I don't want to see any giga slaves or Final Flashes going off that'll destory a mountain.
Obviously you don't HAVE to become female. That was an EXAMPLE.
Another important thing to remember is that once you've taken your 'inner form' there is no turning back. In other words: YOU'RE STUCK.
Be warned: If you also imagined your 'inner self' to have certain personality traits you never had before (but seem right for your new form) They WILL begin to surface. These are all up to you however. It's YOUR inner self.
Last thing is the mirror will be tinted the same color your shard was. So if you chose red, your mirror has a red tint to it. It's also very strong and can't be broken by normal means. (I.E. no matter how hard you hit it with a sledge hammer it won't break) But magical means of course can shatter it.
The goal is to NOT let your mirror get shattered, being that'll break the seal, and could even release you from your powers. But I'm not telling if a broken mirror reverts you back to normal or not. (Something to play with. Some people may not be too sure if they want to live as their ideal self out of fear and may wonder about breaking the mirror in an entempt to go back to normal. But that's up to you)
Generally the 'mirrors' have sought out those with 'heroic souls' so keep that in mind. No going villan.
The forms: I don't mind what form you take, just remember that you will be STUCK that way once you take it.
Suggestions on forms (Or ones I'd really like to see) are: Valkyrie, Magical Girl, and a Catgirl. (weither the Catgirl by the magical girl, or a ninja or whatever I don't mind) Mainly though I want to see those three because I like them. ^_^; You don't HAVE to however.
Also, besides the seven rainbow colors there is also a WHITE shard NOT in any mirror.
If you wish to take on the responsibility of the white shard, you need to PM me. The white shard has a PRE-SET form (Meaning you won't get to choose your form, but you can choose a bit of your 'power')
The white shard is very specail, so only those looking for a challenge/something different should apply.
Oh yes, perhaps the most important rule: NO DOUBLE CHARACTER CLASSES. To be blunt, if someone comes up and says they are going to be a ninja. You can't be a ninja. You'll have to think of something else. Don't think you can have a girl and a boy ninja either. I only want one of each class. One ninja, one samurai, one magical girl, ETC.
Species however, I don't care. You all want to be cat girls? Go for it. Though try not to all be cat girls like that, because I'm pretty sure it'd look strange.
The Rest:
The game will play out with each of you controlling your own character, and if you wish, one additional NPC. (Best friend of your character, whatever)
The NPC may not also choose a color, and will mainly just be there to 'help build plot points' for any 'personal' plot points you wish to make for the character. They could also be used to help move along the main plot if needed. (They could be attacked, something I'll ask about first though)
The idea is that Rymar will be looking for the seven sealed mirrors, and you'll be trying to stop his attempts. Mainly be defeating any minions he summons at first. The details on how he summons minions will be kept a secret for now. :P
Once your character is transformed, a weapon is allowed. But be reasonable. No tanks/tactical nukes/etc. >_>
Assuming I actually get enough people who want to play to fill in all the open spots. If that happens and you still want to play but there isn't a color avalible. Still post here that you want to play and I'll attempt to work something out with you.
That's about all I can think of for now. The 'Introduction post' to the actual game will, as I said somewhere in this post, go up tomorrow (Hopefully). Hopefully by then I'll see some applications. If not, I'll postpone the introduction till I feel with have a good amount of players to start the game.
If there are any questions you have that I didn't adress, please feel free to PM me. I'm sure this is a bit confusing being I'm half asleep trying to finish this post. ^^;
This Party's Getting CRAZY! LET'S ROCK!!
