Interita: 18+ Original Role-Play (OOC)

meta_knight_lover • 25 July 2014 at 11:53 AM

NOTE TO MODS: All content on here is within Egg Cave's Site Guidelines. The only reason I made it 18+ is because I do not like RPing with little kids who don't know god-modding is frowned upon. Obscene content is not allowed.


Welcome to my very first original RP! 8D I hope you will all enjoy your stay here. Allow me to show you around.

First, this is our OOC thread. I will post a link to the actual RP here once I make it. lol

In this thread, you can talk about anything outside the RP. This thread is also where you will place your character profile and discuss plot ideas. That is not to say no discussion of OOC is permitted in the RP, but I would prefer most of it be done here.

Now then, what is this RP I am talking about? Well, here is the premise:

Alternate universes exist. In fact, mankind has already discovered how to get to one. They call it Interita. It is a world filled with mythical creatures and nothing else. On Earth we have dogs, they have werewolves. We have dolphins, they have mermaids. Fireflies to fairies. You get the idea.

That is not why there is good business in Interita though. Just when the energy crisis on Earth reached a critical point, a new fuel source, zerleum, was discovered. They found it in the mysterious forests of Interita, and it is 30 times more energy efficient than petroleum. To brave these forests is dangerous though. The mythical creatures are not keen on sharing their homeland with humans. They are well-adapted to Interita and kill mercilessly. That’s where summoners and witches come in.

Summoners and witches are the backbone of the zerleum businesses. Their job is to guard companies against the mythical creatures within Interia’s forests. Without them, Earth’s energy crisis would still exist. While they have the same job, summoners and witches are radically different from each other.

Summoners are male. Each one wields a special weapon known as a mytho. Their mytho is made from a body part of a powerful monster, god, or goddess (Medusa, Zeus, Cereberus, whatever you want). Through their mytho they can absorb the spirits of creatures they kill and then summon them again to do their bidding. So, to illustrate, a summoner I use has a giant sword made from one of the heads of Hydra and one of the creatures he can summon is a giant cyclops. He has more than just that giant cyclops, but that is just one I am using for example. Summoners can use their summons in combat, and they can also use melee attacks with their mythos.

Witches on the other hand are female. They use wands made of the same parts as a summoner’s mytho. What differs is that they can only use the magic the monster, god, or goddess possessed. Their wands can also come in a variety of forms. The one witch I use has a wooden staff made from the wing of the Phoenix, and therefore she can use fire magic. Like summoners, witches can use their wands in melee combat, but they generally do not since wands are not often made to be like weapons and can easily break.

Well, you interested? If so, read the rules then feel free to fill out a summoner, witch, or human profile respectively. What our story is focusing on depends on what kind of characters you all make. I will handle making up plots for us to follow in the world, but if you have an idea, feel free to let me know. I will also control all the mythical creatures, since they require quite a bit of research to be done properly.

Also, check back here occasionally as I will be posting additional information about the world of Interita. Feel free to request any information too. Have fun!

1. Must be at least 18 years old, or at least have the ability to act like you’re an 18-year-old. Yes. I can tell.
2. No god-modding! What is god-modding, you ask? It essentially means do not control someone else’s character. In other words, do not say “Bob punches Sally.” Instead, say “Bob swings his fist at Sally.” Got it? I have zero-tolerance for god-modding, and will promptly give you a warning if you do it.
3. Must be able to write in coherent English. That means this is going to be a literate RP, folks.
4. Must be willing to research. No, you do not have to buy a $500 textbook on the history of Greek inventions. A few minutes searching through Google will be fine.
5. No wallowing to fish for compliments or comfort. If you make a mistake, and I tell you, it is not the end of the world. Just edit your post so we can move on. This does not mean that I am not going to hold your hand, pat you on the back, and tell you how you’re a wonderful person. Overall, if you can’t handle being told you did something wrong, DO NOT JOIN THIS RP! That kind of goes along the lines of acting like you’re at least 18 years old, you know.
6. No whining. You wanted Bob to punch Sally, but she dodged his fist? Too bad. Move on.
7. Must stick to your words. If you say in Bob’s profile that he has average strength, I will be annoyed if after three posts Bob is punching through concrete walls.
8. If I tell you not to do something, don’t do it. I keep everything in check, so we all can have fun. ;D
9. Of course, follow all the Egg Cave rules too. This is an 18+ RP, but that doesn’t mean you can have sexual content or extreme violence.
If you've read the rules put the word unicorn in the Other section of your character's profile.

@meta_knight_lover

My, what an interesting Roleplay you have~! ❤️

.:.:Summoner Profile:.:.

Name: Nicolas C. Rivera (Often nicknamed Nick or Nicki by family and friends)

Age: 26

Race: Spanish

Describe Hair: Semi-long, thick black hair that falls over his eyes in the front, but is cut short (close to the neck) in the back. Due to its length, it is often parted over his right eye and pushed out of his vision.

Describe Method of Dress: His attire is very casual. He prefers to wear durable, non-flammable materials that hug close to his skin when working. He doesn't appear to care much about his looks or what he wears while he is on a mission, as long as he is able to move freely to protect himself and his clients. Outside of his work, his dressing habits aren't much different, aside from wearing looser garments such as a jacket or baggy jeans.

Training: Nicolas enrolled in a summoning school at a young age to learn the basics of being a summoner and graduating to gain his own mytho. He later held an apprenticeship with an older summoner who taught him all that he knows today.

Mytho Appearance: Dual Blades - Too large to be deemed knives and two short to be considered swords, Nicolas wields two jet-black blades that measure close to a foot in length. Each blade only has one sharp edge, clearly outlined by metallic lining, while the other end remains as the dull backside. The handle of the blade is narrow compared to the actual blade part, but remains the same black color and they are guarded with black material to protect the user's hand. These blades also have a unique aspect to them in that the hilt has an extended one-side to be used as a handle as well.

Mytho Material: Bones from the Grim Reaper.

Common Summons: H. Hound, Wraith, Serpant, Manticore, etc. (Will add more as they are used and obtained.)

Melee Skills: Being a blade user, Nicolas is pretty good with melee combat. His body is well-toned for the job as he sports a strong upper body build and visible shoulders and abdominal muscles. He can pack a lot of punch, but speed isn't his strong suit. If enemies are quicker on their feet than normal, he has a hard time engaging them due to weapon-type and lack of speed.

Personality: There seems to be two sides to his coin. The first is a professional front. He remains serious on jobs and attempts to keep a leveled head under stressful situations. Why 'attempts'? This is due to his other front, which is his "wild side". This tends to be more mouthy and carefree and he displays this behavior when he's not working. He isn't afraid to tell someone the truth, even if it means crushing their feelings under his boot. He's selfish and only out for himself in the world. Most people who hang around him either like him or absolutely hate him. While these two sides may seem like polar opposites, I can assure you they're not too far from each other. He attempts to keep them divided, but due to his more teenagerish side being his main personality, he finds it difficult not to be easily provoked by people or things while on the job.

Describe Place of Residence: He lives in the middle of town in quite a peculiar place. His place of residence resides on the second floor of a nightclub/bar. During the wee hours of the day, his place remains pretty quiet and undisturbed by patrons, but once it hits night the place becomes loud with music and partiers. Due to this, he has become more nocturnal than diurnal and chooses to work at night rather than the day if at all possible. Since it's not his first choice of "home sweet home" material, he tries to bum off other people and stay at their residence if he can. Why live in such a place? Simple. He recently moved to the new province with low money and it was the cheapest place to rent while he stays in town.

Occupation: Your common summoner on the streets of town. He hasn't worked up the reputation to work for a major company yet, so he often stays by the train station to be hired by newcomers to the province or Interita itself. The job can be cruel, since most summoners, either bad by skill or generally poor, end up taking this occupation and things can get competitive if too many street summoners are in one location at one time.

Other: Unicorn~~ (o/

@kurochi-akuma

Accepted.

@clay

"Describe Method of Dress: Jet black suits with pristine white shirts and silver ties. That's all he ever wears."

Why? You ever wear a suit? Definitely not my choice of attire if my job is to hunt things twice my size.

"Training: Surviving on his own after his family was killed.... for eight years."

This raises a lot of questions:
If it was the same Jersey Devil he has as a weapon who attacked them, why did they die?
Assuming Arx had no experience in fighting before his family was killed, how did he get the same Jersey Devil's hooves for his mytho but not save his family?
Surviving on your own might teach you how to get food, money, etc but it won't necessarily teach you to use a mytho, so how exactly would he have learned on his own without a teacher?

Also...
Eight years is not long in summoner training. That is like if I said I only had a junior high school education, but I know as much as someone with a Masters degree from university. Both summoners and witches typically study their whole lives to become even remotely good at their jobs. Of course, there are exceptions, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary explanations. In other words, if you want to make such claims, you need to explain them. Don't just tell me and expect me to not question it.

"Melee Skills: Having used his claws for eight years defending himself, he has gotten very good at reducing enemies to a pile of guts while barely getting a drop of blood on him."

You do realize he's probably not fighting people-sized creatures, right? It's pretty difficult to reduce a dragon to a pile of guts with only claws, even if he's this great summoner.

"...barely getting a drop of blood on him"? This is physically impossible (not that I've ever stabbed anybody to know this). Just watch any crime drama and you'll know what I mean. Interita might have mythical creatures, but it still follows the laws of physics, including how body fluids react to the environment.

"Personality: Arx is a loner, having not had a family for almost a decade. Whenever he is reminded of the tragic incident where his entire family lost their lives, he either goes into a bloodthirsty rage or collapses on the ground, shuddering from grief."

If this were true, he definitely wouldn't be as great as you claim. In fact, he'd probably be dead as doing something like this in the middle of a fight would be disastrous. Don't tell me that he would never be reminded of it during a fight because it happens, especially when there are creatures that can bring up painful memories or fears in their victims.

Also, is there anything else to his personality? Having a sad life is NOT a personality. That might be an influence on one's personality, but it's not their whole existence.

"While alone, he was constantly attacked by men who wanted his mytho for themselves."

Should probably have mentioned stealing someone's mytho is pretty much useless since only its original owner can wield it. Anyone else who touches it can't summon creatures or even lift it. My fault. Sorry.

"Gave himself the last name Night after his family was killed."

Why not just keep your own last name? Did he not know what his last name was at 10? If he dropped it because they died, then I get that, but one's last name is not just something you introduce yourself with. One needs to use their actual name to, say, open a bank account, apply for a job, etc, etc.

"Describe Place of Residence: Used to live in New Jersey. Now he wanders around looking for places to stay the night and eat."

Wait...
"Describe Method of Dress: Jet black suits with pristine white shirts and silver ties. That's all he ever wears. People think he must have a closet full of them."

I can tell you no homeless person has "pristine white shirts and silver ties" without at least a couple of holes in them. Again, extraordinary claims require extraordinary explanations.

"Occupation: Hired hitman when paid enough."

I thought you said in his bio he signed up to be in the zerleum business? And what do you mean by hitman? Killing mythological creatures is closer to hunting than murder in this world. If he kills people, then why hasn't he been arrested? Interita has a police force, and they aren't afraid of summoners.


@leafdapple769

"Describe Method of Dress: Tank-top with shorts, unless at an formal affair."

You can't honestly tell me she wears that when fighting mythological creatures... If she does, then no one would take her seriously. And if it is a formal affair, what does she wear then? Don't just leave stuff hanging.

"Personality: Anti-social, and yet pleasant at the same time."

That's like saying you're an ax murderer but you care for human beings. Also, more details please. Give me example situations if you have to. Like, "My character would rather study all night than go out with friends."

"Describe Place of Residence: A tree house in the forest."

More description. What kind of tree house? The kind I built in my backyard as a kid? An intricate mansion? What?

"Occupation: Unlicensed veterinarian."

Um, what? Like, what does this even involve?

kreptacat • 27 July 2014 at 3:17 PM

@meta_knight_lover I'm not eighteen, but I'm willing to act like one and research. I use Google Word Suggestions for correct spelling and sentences, and this is an interesting RP. I'd like to join, if you don't mind 😊

.:.:Witch Profile:.:.
Name: Alcine Pierce

Age: 23

Race: Caucasian/Italian Mix

Describe Hair: Short, dark brown hair, that she lets hang down. She keeps her hair short so no creature can pull on it in battle.

Describe Method of Dress: A tight, black shirt with armour inbedded in it for protection. The metal armour can be seen a bit, and shines in the sunlight. Wears black jeans that go down to her ankles. Wears metal belt that sparkles like silver. Has hardly ever used it, but wears a long sword tied to her belt for protection when she has no magic. Shoes were hand-crafted by her father, a shoemaker. Wears black gloves normally.

Training: Started training as a witch when she was only six under a mentor who died of a harpy not long after Alcine was taken under her wing. When her mentor was gone, she trained herself mainly in the fields of magic, not so much in hand to hand combat. Later, she found a new mentor who trained her for many years. Alcine visits her often, and every time, she learns something new. Her mentor told Alcine that she could be a great magic wielder, and focused her training on that and bows. For this reason, she tries to attack from farther away. Unskilled with short swords, long swords, daggers, or almost anything that requires close ranges, but does well with magic and bows. Muscle strength is normal.

Wand Appearance: A white edged stick, with a small, jagged crack on the side of it. The crack looks sort of like a bolt of lightning.

Wand Material: Made from the back leg bone of a Centaur.

Magic Type: Gives her power of Divination and healing. and holding it gives her a powerful viewpoint of Astronomy.

Melee Skills: Not very good at melee, as stated before. Alcine would prefer to use Magic from a distance, but when it comes to close combat, she uses speed to best the foe.

Personality: Brave and determined to do what's necessary. She is committed to her job of helping people, and will never leave a person in trouble hanging. Alcine is rather heroic in some people's eyes, but the only reason she is brave is that she has fear. She is trusting to everyone, but because of this people often use her to get what they want. Alcine is kind and joyful, but at the same time brave, so that she is normally a good friend.

Describe Place of Residence: A small house near a town. Lives by a lakeside with a fairly deserted forest next to it. House is green, to blend in with the trees, with white guttering and a rock fireplace jutting out of the top side of the building. A row of flowers line the front lawn and daisies and sunflowers inhabit the fields of trees around the house. The road surrounding the house leads to the lake, and the other way leads to town. There are no flashing lights around the cottage, so the view of the stars is amazing. The house has been passed down from many generations ago. Alcine inherited it from her grandfather when he died, with her father not wanting the house.

Occupation: Not really much of anything, other than working with wands. Has a bit of practice in the art of her father, shoemaking, who currently lives in Ireland.

Other: Unicorn.

-Questions-
You don't need to answer these, I was just wondering more about this.
In this Roleplay, what is the year?
Do they still have the small technology, or have they made technology to where it is super advanced (Still in T.V.'s or Science Fiction Movies)?
How did they find Interita (By spaceship or what?)
What is the season for the start of the roleplay (I may want to change the clothes if the season turns out to be Summer.)

Tell me anything I need to fix 😊 I'm all ears~

meta_knight_lover • 28 July 2014 at 7:26 PM

@kreptacat

Accepted. I'll be happy to answer your questions. Sometime this week I will be posting additional details about Interita.

"In this Roleplay, what is the year?"

I do not have a specific year in mind. It is just sometime in the future where the energy crisis (which is going on today) has gotten severe enough that people are desperate to use anything as fuel. If you would require a specific year though, then I can come up with one for you.

"Do they still have the small technology, or have they made technology to where it is super advanced (Still in T.V.'s or Science Fiction Movies)?"

Most technological advances do not work in Interita. Interita is another world, so things like computers, Internet, and even cell phones are useless. There are no satellites for the signals to connect to. Interita does have electricity though. Basically, anything that is ultra-advanced and requires a long time to set up does not exist there.

On Earth, however, the technology is very advanced. The zerleum has allowed for all kinds of technology to be produced. This includes things such as laser guns, flying cars, sturdier buildings, faster Internet, you get the idea. Of course, none of these things work in Interita though.

"How did they find Interita (By spaceship or what?)"

People can get to Interita by a special bullet train. It was discovered when a group of explorers set out to find oil reserves deep in Earth's core. While they did not find oil, they did find an underground dimension portal. This portal lead those explorers to Interita. Now they have a train going down there. The trip by train costs about $8,000 (American currency) and takes over 20 hours one way. So to come to Interita and then go back to Earth is $16,000 worth of over 40 hours of sitting in a train waiting.

"What is the season for the start of the roleplay (I may want to change the clothes if the season turns out to be Summer.)"

This will vary depending on who else joins. I am going to type up the secondary introduction, as I said. While I am doing that I will review character profiles of potential players like yourself. Once I have the second introduction up, I will start up the game. Until then, sit tight.

Welcome to the role play! ;D

kurochi-akuma • 28 July 2014 at 9:03 PM

@meta_knight_lover

Another profile, because I can. (~o3o)~

.:.:Human Profile:.:.

Name: Amelia S. Bunton

Gender: Female

Age: 38

Race: Caucasian

Describe Hair: Her ash-blond hair is styled in a short bob cut with a set of thick bangs that are half the length of her hair. They are often pinned on top of her head using bobby pins or a barrette to keep from getting in her eyes. In addition, each strand of her hair curls, making the overall appearance of her hair appear wavy or slightly curly.

Describe Method of Dress: She prefers to wear professional garments on the job, such as dress shirts, slacks, pressed medium-length skirts, but is very casual in the shoe department, notably walking around in slip-ons or even slippers indoors, due to being on her feet a lot. In her free time, she likes to wear anything loose on her body and her wardrobe becomes very casual (yet conservative). It can range from a t-shirt and sweat pants indoors to a nice sundress outside.

Education: (Assume that she graduated all twelve years of mandatory schooling.) Amelia studied at the University of Science and Technological Studies, located in Maine, majoring in physics and chemistry to become a researcher of periodic elements. She took her education to the next level after getting her Bachelor's Degree in Science and Education, by taking a job at a research institution three states South of her in Massachusetts. There, she learned all of her hands on experience to become a skilled researcher.

Melee Skills: Her melee skills, or lack there of, are extremely poor. She has the strength and dexterity as any normal woman her age would; therefore, she is not able to engage in combat like a witch or a summoner would. Sure, she might have the fight to attack someone who tries to rob her of her purse, but against a mythological creature she'd be no match and would probably end up dead without the aid of a summoner/witch. (Also mentioning that she's not mentally prepared to fight either.)

Personality: Amelia is a bit of an odd character. She enjoys what she does by a lot. Not to say that is a bad thing. She is eager to teach and learn. If a question pops into her mind, she doesn't let it linger there for long and takes the time to search for an answer or experiment one for herself. She likes to solve problems or puzzles and enjoys playing mind-stimulating games in her free time. On the job, she is strong minded and stays focused on a task; however, if things get too chaotic and disorganized, she tends to become hysteric and often demands order quickly. She doesn't have much of a social life outside of work and what she enjoys doing, which can be a downside to her personality. Though not quite socially awkward around people, she doesn't quite know how to relate to someone without going off on what she likes to do.

Describe Place of Residence: She is currently residing at an expensive, but adequate, hotel funded by the zerleum company she is doing research for. It's a semi-tall building, about fifteen floors, that overlooks the wilderness from afar. The rooms provide all the necessities of life, and a little more, to make all guests feel at home while they are staying there.

Occupation: Amelia was hired by a zerleum company to do research on 1. the quality of the zerleum they are drilling 2. the best places to drill the most zerleum given the area and 3. the possible advances to their drills to make the whole job easier. Also, while not exactly her job, she also is studying the plant and animal life while she is in Interita to get a better understanding of the alternate universe.

Other: Unicorn~ (o/

Took a risk with her, but I think I'm going to enjoy it anyways!
