More toxic less flow
This is one of the first rp's I made on this site and I feel it's worth a reboot. I've posted it so I can edit it as I find that easier because the original post of this was done years ago so it comes out different with lots of brackets and fonts an bleh.
The Spectrum is an RP taking place in the unique world of Frahlidor,
takes place in a medieval fantasy, as it's fantasy the Weapons, armour, and ships are all similar to how they were during the 1700's, on Earth. However, there is one twist to this realm, talent, as the people have come to call it. Talent is the unique ability to use one's eyes to harness the colours of the surrounding world for personal use. The average talent user only has the ability to harness the power of a single colour, it is usually shown in their eyes. Rarely can a talent user harness more than one colour, but when they can, they are incredibly powerful. A multi colour talent user's eyes reflect that of the colours they can harness. For example one who can use both red and blue, have both flecks of both colour in their eyes. The colour of a talent user's eyes also reflect that of their personality. Emotional people are more likely to have red, while logical people are more likely to have blue. People who have mixed eyes are a mix of the average personalities associated with color. There are cons to being gifted with talent however. It is said Talent users progressively lose their sanity over time, and the more talent that is used, the faster this happens. Most of the populace of Frahildor see those with talent as blessed beings with huge responsibility and massive opportunity in their life.
Frahlidor is led by a elected king, titled the Spectrum they live in the grand capital called kawlii.
They are elected by the council of colours, in a very secretive manner.
Spectrums are almost, if not always, gifted in the power of talent, and are chosen because they are gifted with multiple colours. The current Spectrum has almost reached his limit, leading to the council to begin the process of selecting a new spectrum.
Whether or not this will go through is unknown.
The Spectrum and the colour councils abuse and control of talent has led a young man named Artemis Traylonis to betray all of Frahlidor and start a rebellion, that will soon become a revolution. This has in turn led the council to postpone the impeaching process of the current Spectrum.
Where do you fit in all of this? You are a denizen and or traveler of kawlii who gets mixed up in a series of events that will change Frahlidor forever.
this RP uses a skill and rank system.
Your age and backstory defines your rank in skills.
(NOTE.. your colour(s) talent general personality stereotypes, are just examples you can choose your personality, but keep it in mind)
Some people in the world of Frahlidor are born with a unique ability which has been named talent.
Users of Talent have different abilities in reference to a certain colour,
they can see these colours more brightly and can easily tell the difference in shades of said colour.
How they use talent.
A talented person absorbs the energy of their colour into their eyes through light. And can manipulate that energy into hue each colour hue is different.
For example a user talented with the colour blue could look up at the sky on a clear sunny day, and absorb a lot of energy, a skilled user could store energy in their system for later, but overall to use talent requires light, even a excellent user of any talent colour, is helpless on a dark night.
excluding one class of talent which I will explain in further detail later.
Coloured tinted glasses are a sought out must for rare colour types.
The colour classes.
Blue, people born with the talent for blue are considered very lucky.
Talented blue users often have bright blue eyes or blue flecks and spots throughout them. Blue hue or slaz is sharp, users often make swords blades and shards, skilled users can project blue slaz like bullets from their fingertips, people talented in blue often tend to be logical and straightforward, some are known for large egos and being rather blunt.
Green, people born with a talent for green often feel more comfortable around nature,
They draw power from the colour green, on sunny days they would get their energy to produce slaz from grass or foliage.
Green slaz is very strong and sturdy, often used as blunt weapons or armour as well as foundations to construction.
Users are known for being wild emotions, weather that's confidence, depression, lust or being proud. They often have their emotions on their sleeve.
Pink, A talent for pink is a very subtle powerful talent,
Pink hue is thin and silky, sometimes sticky, pink hue is formed in strands that reach out and attach to said target, pink is a rare and often unstable talent to master as it specialises in manipulation of emotions.
Brown, brown talent is the most common of talents,
To use requires little training and effort, to use well however is a different story,
Brown talent concerns nature and can effect it greatly. Brown hue is a liquid formed by the user, which is sprayed or used accordingly, some talented users drink brown hue, as it can be formed in a liquid compound, stronger than any alcohol or natural drug in the world
Purple, purple is a rare talent, hard to master and control,
Purple hue is a visible purple gas or fog, anything caught within this gas is liable to the users manipulation, (think telekinesis)
Very talented users of purple hue have been rumoured to open gateways within the fog,
But that's speculation and rumours....
Red, red hue is very powerful and dangerous, users can tend to have tempers some being violent and irrational. When they feel wronged or see something they deem wrong they tend to flare up.
Red hue is basically energy in a raw form it can be semi solid, almost a gas, and on rare occasion liquid, put simply it burns. Some talented users can control this like having heated fists when they punch that leave a scorch, or projecting streams of fire and explosions.
Orange.
Orange hue is healing, and one of the rarer talents to have.
Orange is used in fixing a physical wound, skilled users have reported fixing mental fatigue with a warm orange glow. The good it does varies on skill of the user and can often drain the orange user quickly and severely depending on the damage they are trying to repair.
Yellow, yellow users are often happy go lucky,
Yellow hue is a flexible thing, users can make structures from yellow hue but it is a adaptable bendy almost bouncy substance. Skilled users are often paid handsomely for crafting mattresses out of yellow slaz.
In combat yellow slaz has been seen reflecting bullets and sometimes other slaz back in the opposite direction. Some users use yellow slaz to jump very long high distances, and to break their fall.
White hue is rare, even for having a talent. A talent for white hue is often negating or diminishing other coloured hue.
Using white hue as a shield against other hue in battle.
People talented with white tend to be quiet people who strive steadily when they set their mind to things, often terrible in social interactions.
Grey.
Grey hue is a hard talent to use, a person uses grey hue to change themselves.
Changing of small characteristics.
Manipulation of voice, size, rumor has it, even sex.
The most skilled users can appear to be someone completely different To their original self.
the only talent that doesn't work in the light, works in the darker night under the moon, or at the very least in the shadows.
Users tend to be quiet, creative and often rebellious sorts, and they can see in the dark much better then the average person, including other talented people.
however a talent for the dark is very deadly, while in the working world they cannot use dark or black hue as a physical tool for a legit job like other coloured talents, a user of black hue is often able to camouflage themselves, looking see through, almost as if they were a coated in a liquid that made them transparent.
Ranging from level of skill they could look like a wet blanket or almost completely invisible to the naked eye, white talent uses have a slight edge on spotting dark hue, but it depends on skill of both users.
Dark hue can also be used as a small projection to kill or paralyse a target in combat, depending on the skill of this user, it could make a sharp thin sliver, users have to be in stabbing range of their target, the longest rumoured length a wet-boy (assassin) used dark slaz to incapacitate someone was 30 centimetres, which is very difficult.
The criminal underworld often look for dark talent users to be wet boys, carrying out jobs from theft, to murder.
The talented users in combat are taught to be creative with their colour.
A skilled blue user could shoot sharp projectiles at incredible speed or make themselves sharp by coating themselves in blue hue.
A skilled green user might make cannon balls out of green hue or blunt weapons.
Powerful users are known to make armour and weapons strong enough to break stone walls or even making castles out of green hue.
Some people have more then one colour when it comes to talent, it is rare but it can happen they tend to be very powerful when trained. But it is difficult to master each coloured hue.
The spectrum is chosen for being talented in most or all colours.. but a person being born with this ability is usually 1 in 10,000.
