Fantasy Lost Meets Survivor: The High School Years

[welian]

Premise

A schoolbus carrying high school students from a class trip meets a terrible fate. The wreckage is found and investigated, but there are no bodies, not even a single drop of blood.


Meanwhile, your character wakes up in another world, and something isn't right...

Basically, bus full of high school students end up in fantasy world. Students now have powers. They also have no way home, and no idea what's going on.


Chaos ensues.


Who's in?

 

[Loki Laevatein]

I'm in as long as I can choose fire. I'm all about the fire. <_<

 

[Giyari]

Save me a place! I'll post a bit in between studying :3

 

[joeymicl]

Sounds pretty interesting. Do you already have a plot in mind?

 

[Taokaka]

Interested!

 

[The Akolite]

Sure....I'm interested...

 

[welian]

Yay interest!


@joeymicl


There's not really a plot, I mean, we can assume that most of the students will want to find a way home, but this is one of those roleplays where we'll just collectively make things up as we go along.

 

[PeteTSs]

INTERESTED! Seems like one of the rps I am doing with my friends!


Note : I can come on every day, but school gets in the way during the weekdays.

 

[welian]

Awesome!


Okay, so here's what I'm going to do - I'm going to take a bit of time, no more than an hour or so, to type up some barebones stuff about this fantasy world in general, and the area in which our characters awaken in.


@Taokaka


If you're interested in helping me out a bit, it'd be awesome if you could go browsing for pictures that we could use as other settings later on.

 

[Taokaka]

Awesome!

Ooooh! Sounds like fun! What type do you want?

 

[welian]

Ooooh! Sounds like fun! What type do you want?

Iiii am personally picturing this world not as straight-up high fantasy, but something a bit closer to Final Fantasy, what with some steampunk-like technology and cool-looking but not entirely practical weapons and clothing. What about you?


And everyone else - what would you all like to see in this setting?

 

[joeymicl]

Ok cool. And that setting sounds perfect!!!

Hmmmmm.... I was thinking a little foresty and adventure type stuff, sort of like what you were talking about. But if it's steampunk you want, I can definitely find you some stuff including forests, cities, etc.

 

[PeteTSs]

What type of weapons?

 

[Giyari]

I think it would be kinda cool if there was some sort of mishmash of real life technology in there somewhere, like trains, and the odd run down high-rise building being reclaimed by trees or something, what do you think?

 

[welian]

@Taokaka


Go with the stuff you were picturing first! We can worry about tech a bit later.


@PeteTSs


None of the characters will start out with weapons, but there will be a variety of weapons available in the setting, from typicals swords and hammers and daggers, to (once I do the research) simple firearms.


@Giyari


Not a bad idea... It throws in some mystery as what this world really is, and how it got to be that way. Would you be willing to work with Taokaka (if they agree) on setting stuff?

 

[joeymicl]

That's what steampunk is if I remember correctly.

 

[Loki Laevatein]

steampunk-like technology

...Love this.

 

[PeteTSs]

How about items? Will the characters have utility items on them?

 

[welian]

The characters will wake up in this world with the clothes on their back, whatever belongings they had in the bus, and their new magical powers which I'm sure most of them will find some mundane uses for. Shortly after your characters wake up, there will be an opportunity to acquire some tools.

 

[Loki Laevatein]

I like the whole 'nature taking over' the sort of industrial steampunk theme. Sounds really cool to me to have both. But if we were on a bus, would we really have very much but our lunches and backpacks to begin with?^^

 

[welian]

@Loki Laevatein


You won't have much, but trust me, I'm going to be playing a non-human character who will help you guys a lot in the beginning. You'll actually be waking up near a town!

 

[PeteTSs]

May our characters have shapeshifting power?

 

[welian]

Sure! As long you acknowledge/consider the weaknesses and pitfalls of your character's power, and it's not anything too extraordinarily out of line with everyone else's power level, you can have any power you can imagine! Just remember, that no one will have a clue what's going on, so a lot of people are going to be having accidents.


EDIT: That being said, I'd also like to remind everyone to respect other people's abilities. I've seen a few too many roleplays where the effects of someone's abilities are ignored, and it's a mean thing to do to fellow roleplayers.

Yep, and it's gonna be funny!
