This world is not earth, I will have a map coming soon. I will more than likely make this an open RP, so you will be able to make towns and the landscape as you desire. There are three kinds of humans in this world, but nobody knows this.

Map Link
This will be the map we use.​

Human: A normal person, they are just like you and me. Nothing too special about these guys, these will mostly be NPC's, but you can be a human if you like, it should be interesting. It would also open a huge window for possibilities for the humans listed below.

Xandrian humans:
These humans are often referred to as the writers of fate. They have inhuman abilities that can only be called magic, but they are not skilled in these aspects. Instead, their main ability is that they can write something down, and if they will it, whatever has been written will come true. This cannot work on another Xandrian. These humans usually prefer to remain hidden from the books of history, and due to their abilities, they have done so perfectly. It is common to see these humans be overcome by greed and lust. The older they are,the more improved their magical abilities, but their main ability has always been perfected since birth. Not all of them are greedy and selfish, but it is not common to see a selfless one.

Advent Humans:
A new race of humans that have only been around for about 100 years, they have the ability to break away from what the writers of fate set in the future. This means they can also save the normal humans from a bad future. They also have special abilities, but they are mostly physical based. They are a new breed that nobody is aware of. Their powers advance much faster than the Xandrian humans, but they don't live very long, making it rare to see this breed older than 55 years of age. Despite this, they are the more powerful, and often can do as they wish without consequence. these people are also often known to despise the Xandrian, dubbing them the "puppeteers of lives".

Main story

Throughout the times, the Xandrian humans have been an unknown breed of human. No normal humans know of their existence, but the Advent humans have began to uncover the truth about them. There is a large organization of the Xandrian humans known as "The Weavers of Fate" That is under the rule of one person. This person is known only by Xandria, but everything else is unknown, even the gender. This person communicates with the organization through a speaker and distorts his/her voice.

However, the Advent humans have learned about this organization, and due to their hatred for these humans, they also have formed an organization. This organization has yet to be named, as it is rather new and very small. there is said to only be ten members, but only the official members know the real number. As of now, it is known as "The Organization" and lead by a man named Mystro. He is a selfless man that formed the organization 14 years ago. He has a strong resent for the Xandrians, but he still chooses to keep the organization at democracy. His reputation is that of a good man.


As of now, the Xandrians are only just now becoming aware of the Advent humans existence and abilities. There has yet to be sufficient proof of this, so many Xandrians are skeptical, some even deny their over-all existence. Some fear that the Advent humans will begin to rise up and take down the Xandrians


Feel encouraged to have your character a member of either of the organizations, but you do not need to. It is highly encouraged though.

NOTE: Not all Advent humans are good guys and not all Xandrians are bad guys.


RULES:

When playing as a Xandrian, there are rules that you must comply to. the reason is because a Xandrian can easily powerplay/godmod.

If anyone chooses to play a human in this, no making your character write about them unless permission is granted. This is for obvious g'modding reasons

You MAY try getting to others in this RP by using a normal human, but once one thing from the writing of your Xandrian is disrupted, it disrupts the entire thing.

An undetailed writing from your Xandrian must still be avoidable. Having a Xandrian write, "An officer shoots him." It should instead be something like, "An officer suspects him of something, and chooses to follow him. The officer will shoot if he sees anything that is convictable."

The rest of the rules stay within normal RP rules.

Brief history:

This is an open RP, so as the RPers, you all have the option to choose where the story goes. Good ending or bad ending, I leave it to you. Happy joining!

My character: I will finish this later...

Name: Mystro Kijaki
Race: Advent human
Age: 37
Gender: male
Personatyli: He is a very selfless person, always putting his friends first, and never thinking of the consequences of his actions. Although he does plan things ahead, his usual mindframe is, "We put aside all logic and we DO it!" Despite loving his friends so much, his enemies are his alone. Enemies of him need to be taken out by him alone. Another aspect of him that seems to counter his passion for friends is that he likes to be alone. He will also prefer to fight alone. This is because he trusts his friends to win, and because of that, he is driven to meet with them at the end.
Appearance:
anime_guy23.jpg

Weapon(s): The two very well balanced swords in the picture, Not anything special, but he is capable of using any weapon he wants, as he is well trained with all of them.
archerkanshobakuyaxp2.jpg

Abilities: Mystro has the ability to change his body into a weapon. He can create claws at his will and he can also make his skin impenetrable. the majority of his powers have not been seen by anyone who is alive.

His powers are often dubbed the powers of the crowned dragon. His abilities include the growing of scales, wings, claws, fangs, and a tail. Something that usually interests a lot of people is that his right half is darker, as if a black dragon possessed it. The claws on his right hand are much longer, reaching about 18 inches in length, while the claws on his left hand are less than half an inch. His eyes resemble that of a dragon in color and design, but the shape stays the same.

Without changing his physical appearance, he can also jump extraordinarily high.

His kicks are also very powerful, easily breaking walls down.

Magic:
Of Heaven and Hell: Regardless of what form he is in, his eyes change to solid color. His right eye turns solid black and his left eye turns solid white. With this in place, he can see people for what they are. He can identify if someone is a Xandrian or an advent human just by looking at them. He can also read emotions with this, as there is no way for someone to avoid him knowing others emotions once he uses this. At the same time, this ability also grants him the power to hit peoples soul, causing no physical damage, but extremely excruciating pain. Enough blows like this can kill someone without any physical damage.
Other skills: Mystro is a very good thinker. He can understand the way people work and plan accordingly. He also knows many secrets of the human races.
Brief history: Intentionally left out.

Oooh, I like the look of this. :hmmm: Expect a bio from me in the next few days.
 
Also, I will be playing the part of Xandria, but I will not be posting a bio for it. He is meant to remain a secret. He will more than likely be communicating with most of the Xandrian humans.
 
Aha. So Xandria's a he! :D

I get quite an idea after reading this. I'd come up with a bio soon enough!
 
Actually, Not even I know Xadria's gender yet, I just said he because as of right now, I con see it being a male :hmmm: But A female would prove interesting, I just hardly make female bios. Good catch though :wacky:
 
But I'm definitely going to work on a bio...! But, hey, what sort of abilities does a Xandrian have aside from their abilities to write a human's fate? Can they do some magic spells too? That, and is this role play set in a modern world?

Dumb question, when I see you're saying a map will be put up soon. :\ So, assuming it's set in some fictional world, how advanced is technology?
 
Pretty modern, with guns and stuff. Not too different from daily life here, but I plan on making differences. It's an open RP, so you can be free to change things here and there.

Also, Xandrians do indeed have magic and abilities, and it's not only that they can write out a humans fate. You could write, "And the building burned while nobody was inside." I don't intend on making any ability limits for the Xandrians other than that they Advent humans advance faster, so a Xandrian at 25 would be weaker than an Advent at 25, but a Xandrian at 30 would match that 25 year old Advents powers.

Also, I intend to make some rules concerning the playing of the Xandrians very soon. Technically a Xandrian can do anything, and I can't have that happen here. Example, you know so and so is coming into some town, and you hate him, a Xandrian writes "And an officer shoots him." There has to be avoidable circumstances, but I'll elaborate more later on.
 
Hm. Therein lies a risk of power playing, or was it godmodding? Or meta-gaming?

... >.> Whatever. But yeah, despite that likelihood, I think I'm still keen to play Xandrian. If you don't mind that, though, I'm not planning to play villain. An anti-hero wouldn't hurt? :D

I'll edit this post to put the character bio.

EDIT: Here it is. Just tell me if there's stuff that needs to be changed. I realize I might not have known well enough about the settings, but well, here it is for now.

Name:
Shirayuki Asanagi

Race:
Xandrian

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Alignment:
Chaotic Good

Personality:
A loner in a different sense. Shirayuki has friends, but not close ones that form cliques with her. Although she is able to converse friendlily with most, she is rarely seen hanging out with any social groups in her school. Not that she treats them shabbily- in fact, she is very kind towards them- nor is it that there are some bad rumors about her floating about. It's just an 'aura' that causes people to shy away from her.

Nevertheless, she has learned to get over this fact, and treats everyone kindly. She speaks politely, jokes discreetly, and is 'nice' in every sense of the word. When angry, she's still polite and nice...

But when one takes into consideration her Xandrian abilities, perhaps, one might realize that she is more afraid of reality than things appear to be. On the surface, she treats everyone as nicely as possible, but she is, really, afraid of the possible conflicts.

Appearance:

Here
Height: 1.63m
Weight... Forget it.
Hair and eye color are both black. The first impression that most people have of her is that she seems 'pretty', but 'cold'. While some might think otherwise once she speaks, there are some that still sense this coldness from her during conversations.

Weapon(s):
Notebook

It's just an ordinary notebook. Within, the pages are all blanks without any line markings. The book can be sort of 'locked' in place with that bind you see in the image linked above.... When in battle, she usually relies on the book to change circumstances by making use of normal humans to get out of the way. (Note: Read Brief History. She has yet to encounter any case where she has to battle)

Abilities:
Like any Xandrian, Shirayuki has the ability to write the fate of humans. By writing specially on her notebook, she can dictate exactly what happens to a specific person- provided the person is human.

Shirayuki is also a gifted writer. Her creativity knows no bounds, and with it, she has actually written several love stories within the school she attends. Of course, though, without the couple's knowledge.

Magic:
None. Still in the process of self-discovery.

Other skills: (Optional)
Eternally patient.

She is extremely slow to apparent anger. While she may be furious deep within, she does a great job at hiding it from her face. The result is an apparent nonchalance that people have came to regard as 'apathy'. That is when one is trying to provoke her.

When someone is just being depressed and lashing out at her, she is seems understanding, and merely takes in all the insults, and whatever else the person in question is ranting about.

Brief history:
Born to supposedly 'normal' parents, Shirayuki was raised from young like any ordinary girl. She grew to love dolls, and later, adore shopping. It was only at the age of 11 that her parents revealed their true heritage, and introduced her to the Xandrian's innate ability to write the fates of humans. However, just as her parents revealed this truth to her, they were mysteriously killed for reasons no one would explain.

Now an orphan, Shirayuki spent the rest of her years growing up in an orphanage, nursing a deep-seated hatred against the unknown person she couldn't identify. And because she couldn't identify, she relied heavily on her Xandrian ability to write fates. Her life was extremely good as a result. Everyone never failed to indulge her to ridiculous extents.

By 16, in class she learned an important life lesson from her teacher. Friends. It was then she realized that none of her friends were real, and right then, she resolved to live life the normal way. Since then, she has been living life ordinarily, without using her Xandrian powers.

Though, as a result of her meddling for the past 5 years, most of the people in her orphanage had been influenced. They treat her very well as a result :D

Well done. The bio is accepted.

Imagine the confusion a Xandrian might get when a human does not obey their writing :hmmm:

Oh yeah, so I will be playing as Xandria, but he/she will be knowing things he/she shouldn't about people. Kinda like the movies, that guy/girl who knows everything. Xandria will be able to contact ANY Xandrian through phone calls. And yes, cell phones as well. Texts, but not very often, usually just a call.

EDIT: This will be finished...soon...

Name: Ivan Ikonomou
Race: Xandrian human
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral evil
Personality: Although sometimes he thinks it as a burden, he is generally rather popular with the females in his age group. He is popular in his school, but only because he chose to make it like that. He usually helps people out discretely with his Xandrian abilities. He tries not to be too manipulative and let most people live normally, but he still chooses to make himself admired and well-known. He generally speaks in a rather poetic manor when he is angered and/or trying to get back at someone. If someone crosses him, he won't use his notebook first. Instead, the first thing he will try to do is get back at the person on his own. He is a very passionate person.
Appearance:
Anime-Boy-anime-guys-4218156-200-309.gif

Weapon(s):
Music notebook

His notebook is lined on the inside and already has several things written down in it. He tells people it is just a journal he keeps personal notes inside of. He keeps the book with him at all times.

Rose whip: See abilities
Abilities:
Xandrian pen: (not an official name, just what he calls it.) If he wills it, what he writes will come true.
Rose whip: He can take a red rose and extend it's stem to 5 feet and makes it an extremely malleable material. It is also strong enough to withstand holding 500 pounds without tearing.
Magic: Ivan can make plants grow at twice the natural speed. This isn't anything special, but it can come in handy at times, such as growing his favorite roses.
Other skills: (Optional)
He can play a killer Cello.
Brief history: Born of a rich family in the city of Gree, he has lived there his entire life. His parents are normal humans, and he is the first Xandrian to come into his family. His family is known for his mother and father, both famous actors who he hardly sees, but he doesn't care. The others in his school have yet to know who his parents are. They don't even know where he lives because he always walks to school. Although he as a gardener, there is a single rose bush he likes to take care of alone. It is a red rose bush and it grows the most beautiful of roses in the entire city. This rose bush takes up most of his time while he is at home, other days he just walks around the city, not doing anything in particular, tossing a good amount of money in the direction of the homeless.

He first discovered his powers because his instinct began to overcome him for a brief moment. Something told him to write a story of revenge and that it would happen. To his later surprise, it did happen. He then chose to test this around, and everytime, what he wrote happened. It was then that he knew he was special. He does feel that others like him are out there, but he doesn't know of any yet. Eve since the discovery of his powers, people have not only never discovered his routes, but also have admired him. He made himself loved by the people so he could manipulate them. He has had many girlfriends, but only one he ever felt for. She left him after a few months of dating him. He wanted to write her falling in love with him, but he couldn't will himself to do it. He couldn't manipulate her too. Instead, he made the guy she dated afterwards leave her in the same manor in hopes she would come back to him

It has been 3 years since then, he is now over her, and now his notebook is new because he has filled the others. Overtime, he became a more selfish version of himself.

Wow, the map looks pretty well-designed. Though, I'm not sure what exactly are those places. Hm? All we know at this point are of the people and the organizations that some of them might be a part of. Not enough of technology, as well as the locations...

Anyway, at this point, I guess the major continent would make a nice place to start. Maybe, we could start from the continent that looks like Africa? Lol. The largest one, I mean. We could start from anyone and move around the cities? No idea though.
 
The map was designed by a friend of mine for his fictional story, so it was mad to his liking. We can change names as we desire.

Also, when I look at this world and see it in the workings, I picture it to look very modern, with cars, trucks, Cell phones, music players, All sorts of music genre's similar to ours, TV's, airplanes, but also seeing some odd stuff not in this world. Internet will of course be here. Get the idea?

EDIT: "The Organization" will be in the town of Trackar, while The Weavers of Fate will be in Vash. We also have to think of a currency system...I was thinking paper money, but we need to name it. I won't make it complicated and say 1 dollar is 1 whatever we call the money.

Hm. Meanwhile, I'd actually like to take on two characters for this role play, because of some raging inspiration firing me up. :D

Name:
Wraith (Simply, W)

Race:
Advent Human

Age:
24

Gender:
Female

Alignment:
(Towards Xandrians) Chaotic Evil
(Ordinarily) Neutral

Personality:
Extremely shy and reticent. W is an innocent looking girl who doesn't seem capable of what she does as one of 'The Organization's' ten. She doesn't speak unless truly necessary, or emotional. Despite this, the general impression people have of her is not that she is 'cold', 'unfeeling' or 'impassive'. Often, people tend to mistake her to be a mute, considering how she usually opts to gesture instead of speaking.

However, in battle, she may get a little more vocal- though, that is only the case when the enemy infuriates her. In other cases, she merely delivers a clean finishing blow with just a simple 'farewell' before ending an opponent's life.

Having said that, W has no qualms about taking the life of another so long the person is Xandrian, or did some wrongdoing that W herself personally witnessed at some point. This particular aspect of her sometimes turn her acquaintances against her.

Appearance:
Wraith (AKA. W)

Her clothing is as shown. The cloth is magically enchanted to provide increased durability against physical attacks. However, it is virtually useless against piercing attacks. The true usefulness of this armor is seen when going up against magic-using opponents. It is able to absorb about 25% of the spell's full effect and convert it into energies that heightens her agility.

As observed, her hair is a bright crimson, and her eyes are a deep green. W has an oriental appearance, with fair complexion and a height of only 158cm.

In battle, she moves around very quickly such that she is most often a blur to her enemies. As such, her enemies call her the 'Wraith', because of this phenomenon, and the bloody death that she dishes out.

Weapon(s):
As shown in the image linked above. This sword is not carried around, but summoned by W when she engages in a battle. It is magically enchanted, and is able to deflect some weak spells. Because of the magical enchantment too, this blade is unbreakable, and is stronger than most metals, being able to slice through iron with the right amount of strength applied.

Abilities:
Deathly Passing: (As some of her peers and enemies have come to call it) Wraith moves around so quickly on the battlefield that she is merely a blur most of the time. While doing so, she unleashes a flurry of attacks just as quickly as she moves, if not faster. Her Advent Human heritage also grants her innate physical strength that far surpasses ordinary humans- as well as powerful blows that would be devastating for anyone to bear.

Physical Endurance: W also possesses a high level of physical endurance, being able to withstand all sorts of physical punishment (except cuts, lacerations, and the type that causes bleeding wounds) for quite a commendable period of time.

Liar: Because of her innocent and naive appearance, most people tend to easily place too much trust in her. With that, she is able to easily lie her way through most situations. She also hides her emotion exceptionally well when need be (Usually in battles; hence, another reason for her nickname, the 'Wraith'.)

Magic:
Soul Manifestation: An involuntary spell. It activates only when W is fighting at near-death state. Her soul gains power from her weakness, and bursts forth, engulfing her in a dark aura which temporarily empowers her, regenerating her wounds. It lasts for about 5 minutes, after which, she would be restored back to her previous, near-death state. During the time of 'Soul Manifestation', she cannot be killed.

Other skills:
5-Star Chef (Lol. Reference to MGS Peacewalker): W is an excellent cook. She is able to cook almost about anything, and make it taste like the best thing there is in the world. She can also learn, and innovate, new recipes with almost as much ease as her 'Deathly Passing' maneuvers on the battlefield.

Brief history:

Born to ordinary human parents, her Advent Human heritage was originally unknown to all but her grandfather. She lives on without learning of this truth until the age of 12. It was then, a Xandrian, in a moment of blood lust, wrote the fates of several people at random. Her parents were some of these random people.

As they were normal humans, they could not defy their fates, and ultimately, they fought on the streets of the city, and killed each other brutally in broad daylight. The Xandrian, watching from an alley, was laughing maniacally as they slaughter ensued. W was horrified, but little could be done. Thus, she watched as her parents killed each other.

At the age of 12, it wasn't easy to forget something like this, and it never quite left her mind. Her grandfather took her into his custody, and she began living with her grandparents for some time, until the age of 13, when her grandfather reveals her true heritage in order to keep her home- she was about to defiantly walk out of home then. Shocked by this realization, she stayed, and coerced her grandfather to teach her to use her Advent Human powers.

It was then, she began a harsh training regime. Everyday, she woke up in the wee hours of the day, and began training till midnight. She barely had enough rest, but somehow survived through these. Not unexpectedly, her swordsmanship improved tremendously such that she could easily best her grandfather in a duel- disregarding his age as a factor.

She was 16 when she finally decided to step out into the world alone. This time, her grandfather could do nothing to stop her.

She first began by hunting down the same Xandrian that killed her parents. It wasn't an easy search, because with his abilities, he could easily write away all the possible leads to him. It didn't help that he got wind of her search for him through his abilities. Her search, hence, lasted 3 years. At the age of 19, after several battles with other random Xandrians in her way, she finally reaches this particular Xandrian.

He was already weakened by old age, and dying, but he put up quite a fight. Though, ultimately, W didn't hesitate to kill him. More specifically, she made sure to torture him first before ending his life. From there, her reputation was established, as this Xandrian was particularly famous amongst the Xandrian Criminal world.

It was then, she herself earned her name as Wraith. She began using it since then, and abandoned her birth name. In the same year, she encountered Mystro. As she never encountered another Advent Human before, a fight was thus inevitable. It was after that battle, that she came to a realization of the existence of other Advent Humans.

She then decided to join Mystro to form the newly created 'Organization'. It has been about 5 years since then...

I'll go ahead and accept this now. I can't wait to see the History. Also, a member of 'the organization' :D That's good.
 
Done with the history. I made it such that the two actually fought each other before. It was only after that that my character, Wraith (Or simply, W), realized the existence of other Advent Humans. Lol. I got an idea as I came to that part.

Are you keen to take this little 'battle' to the Fighter's Quarry in this forum? We could have a thread for the two's battle to be elaborated upon. :D Lololol. Well. Just an idea, but what think you?
 
Well, I'm not done With Mystro's abilities. In fact, I want to add just a few more, but I totally could use him in a fight. I liked his bio so much, I just might make it permanent. Either we can battle and I can figure my other two abilities mid-battle, or we can wait until my powers are already decided. Your choice, but a battle is fine by me...
 
Well. I'd love to have a role play battle any time! :D It could also help establish the acquaintanceship between the two, or perhaps a sort of friendship that developed over the course of the battle? Or that the two were the first to set up the organization... Or... Or.. Or. The possibilities are endless. I don't mind starting it anytime, really.

I guess, lol, the choice is, really, yours. I'm okay with fighting with your character whether or not he has his abilities or whatsoever. So yeah... You tell me :P
 
I was thinking about that earlier, I never did decide how the Organization started :hmmm: I like that idea. We'll definitely battle, it might be just what I need to get my inspiration pumping...I'll Make the thread when I'm good and ready...
 
I'm aim to have a bio this weekend. Still settling into uni and stuff and don't wanna give you a steaming pile of crap for a character.
