I'm new to this site and this topic was a bit odd so I'm not sure if it belongs here or in Sci-Fi. Correct me if I was wrong please
:/ And also know that I have roleplayed before, but I'm looking for a new roleplaying home
The world is a different place. The advancement of humanity though experimentation and evolution has lead to an odd jumble of species. Society has degenerated, unable to mold itself to the new boundaries. Vampires? Angels? Demons? No, they too have evolved with humanity. We're past that time. Now everyone is some type of high-functioning mutant. The world is composed of clans of them. The three most pronounced are the Cian, the Enid, and the Llyr. It's a fight for survival and you can either try to make it alone, or join the vicious war of super-humans.
Cian:
- These are the most ancient of the evolutions. They adapted from a mix of angels and demons, a mixed-breed that soon began to dominate society. They caused massed chaos, conquering every civilization they came across with ease. Their ability to disguise themselves through shapeshifting made them impossible to spot, their ability to read minds and cleverness made them maddening, and the war of good and evil within them left them completely unpredictable. Some were in support of humanity, but evil usually tempted them to the side of the conquerors. They all had the two abilities previously mentioned, but they also had some physical advancement, as is usually the case with angels and demons. They could be extremely agile, strong, sensitive, quick, clever, or whatever one could think of that would be a physical adaptation. The only thing that stopped them were the human experiments that appeared...
Enid:
- The Enid were the most widely produced experiments. The Enid were high-functioning in the way that they produced much more energy than was necessary for them to function. Their hearts beat extremely fast, their brains functioned ten times faster than the average human, their body temperature was well over the average human body temperature. They needed only to eat every once in a while, and even then it was usually a matter of pleasure. They were more physically able in every way, including the ability to heal remarkably fast, so they were better in that field than Cians. They also were able to release their energy out of themselves in varying forms. They could either generate fire, electricity, or light. They could not produce an excess amount of sound, chemical, nuclear, or mechanical energy however, for an unknown reason. But thermal, radiant, and electrical energy being shot from their bodies was well enough. They had trouble controlling their energy however, and their life spans were shortened greatly, mostly because they would overload and either burn themselves, electrocute themselves, or destroy themselves with light radiation. They had to be separated from normal humans because their touch was harmful as they would release thermal, electrical, or radiant energy into whatever they touched. This was the one thing that kept people from undergoing the procedure. They saw that they were to die young in whatever case, but they wished to spend it with those they loved. Either large groups of people, families and friends coming together, would undergo the procedure together so they could stay together, or people were forced into it. But ironically, the Enid were the destruction of humanity in the end. They were too volatile. Now they have become more stable, but the side-effects of their evolution are still there. They die quickly, but they also reproduce quickly since they are emotionally over-active as well.
Llyr:
- The Llyr were adapted vampires. Their reliance on blood became too dangerous, what with all the humans being psychotic balls of energy. Animals were sparse as well, both new races claiming hunting grounds for themselves and killing all who entered. And so vampires were forced to come back to life. They mutated in a way that allowed them to function entirely without blood. They became a sort of life in stasis. Void of all energy, they became incredibly cold, their form was incredibly unstable since they had to absorb the energy from around them to maintain a physical form. They became a natural phenomenon. They could still move, reproduce, digest if necessary (in which case they revert back to a vampire form for however long the blood takes to be digested), and yet they lacked what everything else needed to do so. It was like they had an on and off switch for life, their body so well adapted that it only functioned when absolutely necessary. They gained the ability to teleport, transporting their unstable particles from place to place. They maintained remarkable strength, speed, sensitivity, and agility. The one thing they needed to do was absorb energy from life. They could survive without such, but it would send them into a coma. So the Enid became their targets for feeding. But they were still evenly matched. Enid were physically adapted as well as the Llyr, making them equal in that way. The Llyr could only freeze the Enid when they were very injured or they had drained their energy, in which case the Enid would die usually. The Enid could only burn, electrocute, or radiate Llyr for short amounts of time since the Llyr could absorb the energy of the Enid, even if it burned them when the Enid managed to contact them. They fed off each other, but they still could survive without each other and thus wished to dominate, obviously. As for the Llyr's healing capabilities, burns would leave them scarred with a blue mark and would never quite heal, cuts would only heal when they fed, and they couldn't regenerate limbs no matter what. The one thing that kept the Cian in the fight for survival was their wiliness. They were the most clever of all the races, and they could still read and predict them as well.
Variants:
- This group consists of those who left the three clans. They either were one of the the three main species, or something entirely different. There could be multiples of these variant species, though there were not more variants than there were of any of the three clans. This group had the most difficult time in the new society since they were shunned by anyone in the three clans and there were few areas that were not claimed by the clans. It was rare that a Variant was successful in surviving more than a few weeks, but there were exceptions. Mutants who were even further adapted than the three species. They often became some type of bounty hunter or agent for the clans, since those who survived were adapted enough to survive attacks from all three of the species, and the job paid well.
Setting:
- This is set in a major city in North America surrounded by forest with a few mountains around the area as well. The Llyr are not like normal vampires, in that they aren't burned by the sun. So they are able to live anywhere, though their primary base is in the mountains where it is cooler and more comfortable for them. The Enid are based in the city, though they have territory in the forest. The Cian are based in the forest where they hold a mass amount of territory. The Variants survive wherever they can, and it is rare that they are allowed into clan bases, unless they have information that the clans want.
Rules
- Characters
Alright so, the races should be fairly clear, but please ask if you have any questions because I had trouble making these races in the first place and I wouldn't be surprised if they are still vague. As for the Variants, it would be amazing if you could give a very nice explanation as for why they are the way they are. Also, no perfect characters. Everyone in this roleplay will live in a world of turmoil, they can't be some happy-go-lucky, gorgeous little prince or princess, m'kay?
[*]Literacy
- Okay I'm not a grammar nazi but you can expect me to laugh a little if you make a ridiculous spelling or grammar mistake .3. And if that doesn't bother you, great, but at least be legible. If you are trying to say "Jenna washed the car." don't think, "Jenna washeds care." is acceptable ._.
Oh yeah and since if you join this rp I assume you don't wish death upon it, please write a fair amount each post. I can understand loss of inspiration and it's fine but if every. single. post. is just ONE SENTENCE ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! we have a bit of a problem. I'm not the strictest creator but if it's out of control, I will ask to talk to you :/
[*]Blabbity blah blab...
- I know you all have heard this before but just so you can't get away with it, no god-modding or taking the occasional power-trip. And if you are to leave the rp for an extended period of time, please tell someone who is active so they can tell everyone else who may not be remarkably observant.
[*]Ratings
- Keep it PG13...and don't overdose the romance. We all like a few sensitive kisses and hugs but don't waste your talent on a blob of fictional mush. And cursing is all good so long as you don't do it every single post.
SUMMARY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO READ THE MASSIVE BLOCKS OF TEXT UP THERE ;_;
- Be creative with charries
- Write legibly
- No power tripping
- Alert an active member if you are to be gone for an extended period of time
- Keep it PG13
- Look to the joining page for a summary of the species
