The Other Side of the Mirror OOC

The Other Side of the Mirror Roleplay
Todd Baker

The setting is the present. The location is in a small town in the countryside. There, a human discovers something that people only thought to be possible in dreams, a portal to a new world. This new world holds strange beings of abnormal and incredible powers.

Okay, so, this is my idea. The human (doesn’t matter gender or race or anything. Just has to be human) stumbles upon a portal to a new world. The world the human goes into is actually a time warp. Many people from all over the universe and throughout all time have made their way into here. The portal doesn’t have to be a mirror, I just liked the name. The world is filled with strange beings, really, anything you can pull out of your mind, I would love some great customization on them, just, the usual no god-modding rules or all powerful abilities that can’t be stopped.

Only ONE person will be allowed to play a human, as the human is special, being able to travel through the any of the portals willingly (there are thousands of portals throughout the world, but for the sake of the RP, we are probably going to use at most 5 or 6 depending on the length). The only way I will allow more than one is if the plot needs a twist later on, in which case, I will do so accordingly. Now, there is an actual plot. The time warp has (over time, somewhat of a pun, I know) developed itself a universal government formed by the beings that live there. However, the government has been taken over by a dictatorship, and the dictator (have not decided on name yet) is trying to reverse the portals, so, he can go into any world and time he wants to take over the universe. The human’s powers make her unique to the dictator’s plan, though, he does not know of the human at the start of the story. There are rebels that know of the human and take the human in to both protect it and save themselves. This is where most of the other characters will come in, on either side. I would like characters from both the rebel and government sides, though, if it is uneven, I myself can play multiple characters, or anyone who volunteers can play both sides.

Okay, I already have six people that have committed to having a role in this RP. I would like to have eight other than me before we start. I will accept much more than that due to massive customization of the characters. No two characters should be the same other than the NPCs.

HUMAN SPOT IS OPEN.
RP IS STILL OPEN.

[Eternity]

Name: Basae / "Sae" (say)

Planet character is from: Virge
Virge is a small planet, and mostly dry. Water is scarce, and the atmosphere pretty unstable. The world is drying in many senses, and thus it is barren and desolate. The people upon this planet vary in a few races, but are mostly hostile.
-
-Sto'Virge: This breed of humanoid people are made of mineral. They are of stone compositions and are strong beyond belief. Though this hinders their speed and whatnot. Sto'Virges do not need to eat often, and do not grow. They remain at one stage of life until they die. Age is marked usually by skin color and as well formation. Older Sto'Virges have cracks through their bodies, or sometimes have crystalline body parts or pieces. Their eyes radiate ether, and thus they can spot life miles away. They are magnificent hunters, and vicious killers. And they can survive even the hardest of lifestyles.
-
U-Laos: The Capital City, large and towering, carved from stone and quartz. It is said to have once been the great birth place of many Sto'Virges, but is now ruled by Naufelis, the dictator.

Side: Rebellion

Appearance:


Sex: female

Bio: Sae was born on Virge, and raised there too. She was ''born'' by the insertion of ether into the base of the Noh Mountain. She was alone from that point on. Without parents, the Sto'Virge usually spend time on their home until they can function without some form of dependence environmentally. Basae spent her time in Noh, in a cavern where she stayed in the water, allowing it to shape her. She then found, after about twenty years, a double-ended stone with sapphires embedded. She took it, and shaped it with her bare hands, and made her blade the Anuo. After that was made, she decided it was her time to leave. And she was gone, off to the rest of Virge.

The government there was a large dictatorship. Owned and controlled by a Bui'Virge- another creature of fewer race but greater power. He kept power over the world, and sought using the Sto'Virge for slaves to ensure the construction of his temple, palace, and city. She quickly moved to U-Laos, where she learned of two great things. Naufelis, the great dictator, and then of a counter-government faction. She joined this faction, where for thirty years she was trained to be an assassin. On the day she was meant to launch an attack on Naufelis, she lost control of everything. The operation failed because of an anomaly that tossed her into a place she knew nothing about. Now, in this new world, she has taken to the rebellion's side once more. She decides to fight for what is right, and protect what this world seeks to destroy.

For the time being, she lives in Veramin.

Other:
-The portal was found in the pit of U-Laos; something like the basement of the Nau Palace.

[Immortal]

One goverment bad-ass coming up Hope it´ll be ok. I based the character mostly on the "Prototype" game (if anyone knows it ) but I did some tweaks here and there, not to mention limitations but if it is still too much, I have no problem editing (in the worst case make a new one )

Name: Alex Mercer

Planet: Neo Gris

Basically Neo Gris almost the same as regular Earth but some years further in technological development. It was once inhabited solely by human beings but on a day known as “Day 0” due to an unknown accident a terrible virus spread over the globe and infected over 88,9% of the total population. Of those 88%, 39% died instantly. The rest mutated due to the virus into what is today known simply as “Infected”. Most are as close to the word zombie as it gets the only thing that differs is that they aren´t dead, yet, but there are also those who brought the mutation to a brand new level. The level of mutation differs from region to region until the remaining humans set up so-called zones. Currently 4 main zones exist around the globe, designated by colours: green, blue, yellow, red. Green is technically the closest to being safe as it gets on Gris for regular human beings as it is also the house of the united government and the main military body. Blue is still kinda safe, due to its close proximity to green but Infected sightings aren´t unheard of. Yellow can be described as the outskirts of hell. Most of the “population” are Infected yet humans can be found even here, though their life span is considerably shorter. (Yellow zone also serve as deportment facilities for criminals) The Red zone (currently spreading over 75% of the worlds surface) is literally hell in every meaning of the word. Destroyed buildings, dead vegetation and swarms of infected of every kind.

The capital of humans is Ar-Lantis, located in the centre of the green zone. It is the house of government and military. The government system being democratic due to the fear that one man alone can´t protect the green (and maybe blue) zone from the infected.

The capital of the infected (as the humans presume) was given the code name “Ground Zero” . It is the area where the virus was first sighted and it´s located on the opposite side of the globe as Ar-Lantis. Since the virus outbreak, no one has ever been to Ground Zero or lived to tell the tale.

Side: Goverment

Appearance:

Sex: Male

Bio: Unknown to all, Alex is the sole reason for the situation on Gris (though it was all caused by outside factors, in the end he caused the finale events that led to the Day 0). Technically speaking Alex died on Day 0 but he suddenly woke up in a morgue his memory blank. Startled and confused he somehow managed to run away. During the next few weeks he succeeded more or less to find out about what happened. But unfortunately by the time he found out the truth the virus already spread outside the main quarantine zone and thus the end of the world begun. He became hunted by both sides. Humans hunting him for the virus he had (was) and the infected for the abilities he possessed. Facing near-death situations on more than several occasions, he developed an extremely keen survival instinct which helped him get through everything so far.

During those few weeks Alex found out that he, as a human, no longer exists. He became the virus itself or rather the virus became him. Changing his physiology on a cellular level he gained abilities that surpass those of regular humans, like enhanced strength, speed, regeneration, vision and he also got the ability to shape-shift. He can either change his entire appearance by absorbing another living being (thus gaining its appearance and also knowledge, memories, personality traits etc.) or he can change his arms into a variety of cutting weapons (claws, blade) or change their mass to serve a more collateral or protective purpose. In the worst cases he wraps his body in an armor that´s really hard to penetrate but it’s not impossible. Plus, while he changes into someone/thing else (this is limited only to humans, human-like beings and animals, but animals can´t be smaller than a bird or much larger than a average human, plus the the animal form can be maintained onyl for a a very limited ammount of time), he can´t use any of his offensive abilities (like blade, armor etc.) He either has to revert to his original appearance and fight, or unseen absorb someone/thing else and use that to his advantage. Specialising solely on close combat, Alex is an expert on martial arts and close quarter fighting. Thanks to his abilities he is also an expert on survival in different conditions.

After the world got pretty much into the state it is in now, no one heard of Alex Mercer again. Some rumours say he rules the red zone from Ground Zero as the king of the Infected. Others claim he is already dead or that he never existed at all, everything being a goverment set-up so they can blame someone for everything rather than taking the blame for the incident themselves. But the most recent rumours say he vanished through some strange portal but neither rumour was proven a fact.

In reality, Alex really found a portal during his days of aimless wondering of the red zone. Due to the fact he just couldn´t live with the knowledge he caused the outbreak he took his chances and went through, not really interested if he´ll die or not. After arriving in a brand new yet unknown world, Alex used his skills and abilities to addapt and strat over. He is currently working as the governments’ top spy and assassin. His current location is unknown.

[Mattipus]

This looks like such an interesting RP... there's tonnes of scope for character ideas. I thought I'd go for something a little different in origin, which is a bit of a risk on my part, so if I need to change it so that there's a government/city, then do let me know and I'll get right onto editing it.

Name
Xizzik.

Planet
Xizzik hails from a nameless, undeveloped world that lies somewhere in the Sextans supercluster of galaxies, about 40 million years before present day Earth. The planet is about half the size of Earth, covered mainly with dense temperate forest, giving way to flat, open tundra and finally large frozen ice-caps near the poles. There are no oceans to speak of, but many inland seas of freshwater.

As Xizzik's species isn't naturally sapient, they have no name for themselves. They are resemblant of modern-day gibbons in their build, having long, slim limbs and gripping feet. A short coat of dark greenish fur normally covers their bodies. They measure about 130cm from head to foot, and have a remarkably long lifespan, sometimes living for up to 150 years. Their diet comprises of fruit, young shoots, insect larvae and occasionally bird's eggs. They are intelligent, curious creatures, with a great capacity for learning.

Side
Rebellion.

Appearance


Sex
Male.

Bio
Xizzik stumbled upon one of the portals purely by chance. Upon arrival, he found himself in a strange and unfamiliar area of forest - though rather than being unable to adapt, he took to his new environment.

It was only after a few years in this new world that he was discovered by a government employee: a cruel, grotesque being by the name of Ranth, who imprisoned Xizzik and used him as a test-subject for a variety of robotic and cybernetic implantations. However, the combination of these implants along with Xizzik's great capacity for learning meant he quickly developed a high level of intelligence, and managed to outwit even Ranth himself, escaping his imprisonment.

Since his escape, Xizzik has lived with a group of other rebels, who have helped him learn more about the world he now lives in and taught him how to speak and read. His implants have altered him in a number of ways - he is faster, more alert, has heightened vision, can climb the most difficult of surfaces and jump great distances. However, he is physically frail, tiring easily and being very susceptible to infections and disease. He isn't much of a fighter and prefers a more cloak and dagger approach to things.

[Baker]

First of all, I have to say, I love these characters. Great use of the customization if I do say so.

Second, Ill have my characters up over the weekend sometime. Won't be able to be super active, but ill be able to post sometime when I get the chance.

Third, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, you can ask them in here, or in the chat room, which im usually on, just click the chat room button on the menu at the top of the page.

[Baker]

The picture didn't work >.<' just to tell you, but, otherwise, good character.

[Eternity]

May I make another character, and wield two?

[Baker]

Yeah, you sure can

[Eternity]

Name: Arsenic

Planet you character was transported:: Virge
-Bui'Virge: These creatures are fewer in number than the Sto'Virge, but are their evolutionary step up. Bui'Virge are tricksters, made of ether and yet their composition is made of fine sand, called ether dust, or simply called sand. They can shift forms and change figures or faces. But they cannot hide what they are, for they will always appear to have sand on their skin when they take a ''form''. They can travel in the air as ether dust as well. The Bui'Virge are good spies and impossible foes.
-
U-Laos: Arsenic is the son of Naufelis, and has been raised in the palace with him in the capital city.

Side: Rebellion

Appearance(s):
Humanoid Form


-He can take the forms of animals, but they all appear beige and or brown, and he cannot fight well as an animal.

-His natural form can only be described as a mass of swirling sand, much like a dust devil (a small tornado of sorts). In the center of this small sand storm is his core of ether, which appears like a glowing orange creature with long sharpened fingers and an elongated head with four burning eyes.

-His eyes in animal or humanoid form appear like this:


Sex: male

Bio: Arsenic was born by his father's helper, a Carver Spirit. (Carver Spirits are the ether souls of those who have lost their bodies on Virge. Most move on, those who stick behind are the ones who carve Sto'Virge and Bui'Virge from the earth to keep the races alive). He was born appearing just as he is above, because the 'Virge species are mostly born at maturity, and do not ''age''. He lived in his father's palace for quite some time, but finally decided to sneak out. It was one day that he was following his father's supposed assassin, that he fell into a portal in U-Laos, and was trapped in this new world.
He is now in Veramin, hunting his father's assassin if only to ask for answers.

Might I just throw this in here, that the Bui'Virge and Sto'Virge are pitted enemies by nature.

[Immortal]

eeeek ...so many rebels O.O

...I wonder where will I find space for so many graves

[Baker]

There are a lot of rebels, well, im working on the dictator and bosses and such. And I might have a friend of mine join as a government character. So, hopefully it will all even out.

[Eternity]

SSSSSOOOO now we need a human, and this shindig should be about ready to go! *is excited*

[Baker]

Yeah, all we need is a human and we should be good to go.

[Eternity]

HUMANS, GATHER ROUND, MAKE A LINE, WE ONLY NEED ONE, THIS ISN'T A HARD SEARCH!!!! *scans the crowd*

[The Literate Angel]

I'd like to reserve the human spot. I'll be posting the profile in a second. :3

[Baker]

Cool! thank you

[Immortal]

hey....seeing as I was the first (and so far the only ) goverment char. I have a question: Can I be something like a boss ? Not really a boss but equal to it in some terms *suddenly has a megalomaniac complex*

if not no prob., but I wouldn´t forgive myself if I didn´t ask

[Baker]

Actually, yeah, that's fine with me.

[Lag.Lad]

After ages of procrastination, a Character Sheet.

Name: Noah

Home Planet: Talaes
Capital: M'anca
Talaes is a world similar to that of Earth. It's populated by humans and is a world where magic and science have been developed to a point that they complement each other. Practitioners of both are monitored closely by the central government since any major breakthrough has the possibility to plunge society into chaos. The usual taboos against human experimentation are in place, but it doesn't mean that they're not broken every so often.

Side: Government

Appearance:

Sex: Male

Bio: Noah is technically an artificial person: part-organic, part-mechanical and has the soul of some poor kidnap victim. As with most Frankenstein monsters, he was made to satisfy some twisted curiosity. The only reason that his creator wasn't put behind bars was because the guy made Noah for the government. What reasons the government had for an artificial person were never given, but the scientist was happy enough to do the experiment.

Magic being the fickle thing that it was, and taking into account that souls and lifeforces were being tampered with, the result on the Talaes end were somewhat disastrous. The laboratory was reduced to ashes, people who survived would have been better off if they had died, and the most worrying thing: the government lost its golem.

Noah woke up in the time warp. His mind virtually a blank slate, he wasn't surprised at what he found. He wasn't scared. He was just there. He was eventually found by a Government recon squad who took him back to their base. He currently serves the Government in whatever way they see fit.

[Immortal]

w00t for me

oh man....I can already see the intro

MOVE IT PPL !!!!!!! XD

[The Literate Angel]

Name: Maria Nicole Estali

Planet your character was transported from: Earth

Side: Rebellion

Appearance:

Sex: Female

Bio: Maria had always been a quiet, calm person. She lived in a small town in the United States with her best friend, a woman who was the exact opposite of her. She had been roped in by her friend to start an antique store with her in a place they used to vacation to when they were younger. This wasn't necessarily Maria's dream, but she had always been the type who just went with the flow of things while her friend would pull her along.

On Maria's twenty-first birthday her friend sent her to get an item from an old woman. She said it was her birthday present from her so she should hurry up. Maria went to the house of the old woman, it was a Victorian style home, beautiful, but needed some work. She rung the doorbell and a woman who looked about eighty answered it. After introductions the woman let her in and proceeded to show her what she wanted to give her. It was a beautifully crafted hand mirror, one she said she had never touched since it was her belated mothers. The woman then left to get some tea. She picked it up and looked into the glass, her reflection looking back at her. Suddenly the image started to distort and then she felt like her feet were lifting off of the ground. A small gasp was all she had time to let loose before darkness engulfed her. The mirror then fell to the ground, shattering.

Maria woke up in the middle of a grassy field. The sun was shining brightly as if it was the spring time. Her eyes scanned the horizon, but all she could see was grass and more grass. Since it had been the middle of winter on Earth she was very confused and now she was very hot. She took off her scarf and her jacket, lost, confused and unknowingly about to enter a war.

Maria landed in the middle of Teratos, Retorah and Veramin.

[Mattipus]

We have a human! Woop woop!

[Immortal]

Let´s kill her ( ;....; )

oky...now all we need is the dictator, Baker´s char and I guess we´re set (though the goverment lacks in manpower I´ll somehow make up for it >D )

[Baker]

Sorry people. been having some problems with getting my writing done lately. But, no worries, Ill have the character sheets done after I get home from school. We will get this thing rolling tonight.

[Baker]

Name: Omnitrax

Planet: Searinex. A planet inhabited of a human-like species that's average height is 6'8" It has one government that rules over all of it. A dictatorship, run by a powerful man. Some of the people in the Time Warp say that Omnitrax based his way of power on his homeworld's way of ruling. The Planet is strictly run, there was no other governments threatening war, the people on the planet respected power and would not dare rise up against it. Omnitrax was a commanding officer in the Army of his homeworld.

Appearance:



About 7' in height

Sex: Male

Biography: Omnitrax is the leader of the Dictatorship Government inside the TimeWarp. He is one of the original inhabitants here in the TimeWarp and is an ancient being. He was at the meeting that decided the fate of the TimeWarp's leadership and through his energy and charisma, he convinced the younger and naive members of the meeting to back him. He convinced them they would have power, be able to rule the people accordingly. Unfortunately those men gradually became betrayed, and the others at the meeting were powerless to stop Omnitrax once he had gained enough power around him. Omnitrax managed to establish a strict, iron-fist type of rule over time. He is completely merciless, he spares no prisoners, and gets whatever information he can whichever way he can.

Omnitrax commands an army of many races, all of which provide many skills. He divides his commands among commanding officers (which I will post later)

There!

Much more will be revealed about him in the story. Ill get the IC up tomorrow morning first thing

[Trinity Veritas]

Ooooh, very nice!

[Immortal]

my Lege

hmm...commanding officers...I was thinking of making a Special Black-Ops division that answered only to the dictator. They´d have special authority etc. ( you know, a sort of right hand to the big man himself seeing as how few goverment forces we have there might as well be NPCS that make up for it XD)

though this is only a suggestion...
