Everflame 2 OOC (FINISHED)

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

At last, the sequal to the relative success that was Everflame is finally here. After the debacle that was the Wild West RP, I'm glad to go back to doing what I'm good at.

Since there's a lot to go through both for people new to Everflame and for returning players, I've broken it up into segments that will be posted once per day. The last post will tell you how to set up your character. But right now, we have backstory.

----

To anyone wanting to join but weren't involved with Everflame 1, here's a quick run down of what you need to know.

It's the far future. The galaxy is all under one banner, with its government and major powers centred on The Capital Sphere. This sphere is a city in space that floats from solar system to solar system. It is a utopia that made incredible leaps in science and sociology. Any planet it approached was magically progressed with greater work rate, lower crime and greater health and well being. What most people didn't know was that it owed this to a small and unusual rock. Those who did know about it called it the Everflame.

In the previous RP, the rock was supposedly stolen by a bounty hunter named Korius. In reality it was Asia kali who took it and led a team to Serra Draconis where a machine spread the everflame's power across the galaxy, giving everyone a feeling of happiness, and making the galaxy a better place. They're pursuers, the Galactic Authority, who failed to stop them, even as their greatest commodore, Afgha Kali, went mental and tried to stop them himself, gave up the chase after two years, as the resulting well-being was accepted as reason enough to forgive Korius and his team. Of course, since the public had no idea that the everflame existed and just think that Korius and Asia were major criminals who had destabilised the capital sphere, the fugitives were forbidden from being seen on any of the central, more affluent planets, restricting them to the border worlds.

At the same time as all of this, a small group of marines were saved from a planet infested with Triffids. They got mixed up in all the madness mentioned above, and it turned out that one of the crewmen that saved them was a mass murderer. However, through a sense of loyalty, they helped almost everyone escape and headed out into the galaxy, being chased by the law. During the escape, some of them died but the leader of the marines called Kate, was injured and left on the GA (Galactic Authority) Flagship. She was medically treated there, and transported to a prison planet where she stayed for ten years, after which she was released.


Everflame 2.0 starts off twenty five years after the theft of the Everflame. Since then, this magical rock has stopped working. Nobody knows why, but across the galaxy, the daily grind is returning to a normal level of happiness and misery in equal measure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This next bit is more for the sake of people who were part of the first Everflame RP. These characters probably won't have much impact on events that unfold in this RP, since most of these people are based on the border worlds, while the action should take place on the Capital Sphere. But then you never know what will happen. Maybe they will still be important.

Afgha Kali survived the fight with the bounty hunter Korius, and tracked down his brother, Asia. They now live together with Asia's new family on the border worlds.
Tabby, a young cat who tagged along with Asia during the previous RP, lived with them both for a while, before setting out on the galaxy as a bounty hunter, following in the footsteps of her obsession, Korius.

As for the crew of the Admiration, who saved the triffid marines, the captain, Marcus Dresen is now old and tired, living alone on a border world and waiting to die. Daray Mabaton, the mass murdering Lynx, and husband of Tina, the cat, had died about five years previous and was buried in the Captain’s garden. Tina never really stopped mourning, and so decided to leave, and see what the galaxy could show her. This move was nothing more than a wish for distraction.

Right, so that's all the information up to the present day. Tomorrow, will have all the juicy info on Everflame 2.0

Its here.....



THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE!


Everlfame 2 ftw 

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Right then, now that we’re all caught up on current events, let’s talk about Everflame 2.0


As I said before, the Capital sphere will be the centre of the action, but there’s no reason not to be on some other planet, of whatever description you’d like. I’ll mould a story around every one of you. In the first RP, half of the story happened because Kitt wanted triffids, so I accommodated. Expect me to do the same for anyone else.

Also, the everflame itself is in a science facility in Serra Draconis. In the twenty five years, the facility has been cleaned of triffids but the planet itself is still covered in them, all in the name of security. A lot of money has gone into protecting that rock.

Now this bit is VERY important.
The Everflame itself apparently appeared in the galaxy out of nothing and for no reason, but this isn’t true. It fell through a point where dimensions overlap. It came from a dimension of light, and colour, with beings made of the very material that is in lightning, or the Aurora Borealis, the fabric of stars. It is a place where emotions are tangible, and to die is to be alien. Fabled creatures find form here or are drawn to its natural energy.
To the inhabitants of this land, time is unimaginable, and living and dying are unheard of. Here the laws of physics are the impossibility, and so there are creatures that make a colossus look smaller than a grain of sand.

When Howl, a member of Asia Kali’s team, died, he crossed over to this world as was prophesised by the entity known as Seeker. She has joined him there and together they act as diplomats to the so-called Real Dimension. They were chosen for this job as people who fall through the real world in this strange dimension are incredibly rare, and these two are the most recent arrivals. To them, the twenty five years have been a blink of an eye, so they still remember much of the ways of the Real Dimension.

The dimension of light recently found out about the everflame falling through the cracks. Such an event is incredibly dangerous, and they cannot afford these two dimensions colliding any more than they already have. Howl and Seeker have been sent in to get the rock back as soon as possible, or else the extra dimensional beings will go in and take it by force. However, due to the unrecognisable perception of time, this invasion could be in five minutes, or five hundred years in the future, or even into the past.



And all together, that was a thousand words of back-story. next will be rules, character profiles and all that jazz.

[Kitt_R_Beesley]

im looking forward to this one it sounds awesome.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Hooray! right, Final part to the introduction!

The Nitty Gritty stuff.

Here are the rules:

-No over-powered characters or Deus Ex Machina
-Wait for others
-Feel free to throw in a story element or event, but only if you think it will be fun and engaging. If you’re not sure, run it by me first.
-insta-kills are allowed but are extremely rare, need to be cleared by me first and must never cut someone out of the rp. The one dying needs to consent as well. (For the sake of an engaging tale, dont be afraid to lose a character or two)
-Follow the nature of the society you're in
-Dont be afraid to lose a battle or get arrested or anything like that. A good story needs highs and lows and who knows where those lows will take you.


As for characters. You can make a character in either the normal or the strange dimension, but I highly suggest focusing on the real dimension. It makes things easier for people to keep events straight in their head.
In the real dimension, you can start anywhere. There are billions of planets out there, billions of cultures and billions of species. You do with it whatever you want, as long as it obeys the laws of physics.
In the strange dimension, there’s no such thing as the laws of physics

You can take control of any of my characters

Returning players of Everflame 1 can use their old characters and can also make new ones.


This is how you will set these characters out:

Name:
Age:
Species:

Location: (Refers to location at the start of your entrance into the RP)
Occupation: (Should make sense according to the location, but doesnt have to.)

Weaponry: (Don't go crazy, make it realistic to the location, you're a lot less likely to be armed on the more developed worlds, and a lot less likely to have anything expensive on the border worlds.)

Biography: (Should make sense according to location, but doesnt have to. Returning characters from Everflame 1 need to have a history of what happened to them in the twenty five years that have passed.)

Appearance: (Should make sense according location but doesnt have to.)



Here are my main characters at this point:

Name: Kateri Peralta
Age: 50
Species: Human

Location: The Capital Sphere
Occupation: Head of Security on the Capital Sphere

Weaponry: Plasma pistol in her office draw, a ballistic assault rifle at home and an ornate ceremonial sword perched on its stand on a shelf in her office

Biography: She grew on the Sphere and loved the peace so very much. She’d heard of crimes, and then saw a few occur. People were injured. She hated the noise of it all, and decided to do something about it. Twenty five years ago, she was a lowly security subordinate, taking orders from her supervisor, a tall and wisened vixen. Together, they watched the streets through cameras and protected the city from their little office. Since then, she became promoted many times, surpassing the old fox to become the Head of Security on The Capital Sphere. In that time, her old supervisor retired, and slowed down, becoming very old and very quiet. Kateri takes care of her, and actually moved the old vixen into her house about five years ago.

Appearance: Sensible, often in a suit, and rarely seen in anything particularly bright. Blonde hair and a face with a heritage of a Filipino father and an eastern European mother.







Name: Howl
Age: N/A
Species: Wolf

Location: The dimension of light
Occupation: Dimensional Diplomat

Weaponry: None

Biography: Old war veteran who became a civilian but never stopped being a soldier. He joined up with Asia to make the galaxy better. He never got to see the plan come to fruition as Afgha Kali killed him. Twenty five years past in a fraction of a moment, and he found himself staring at Seeker, a strange alien who prophecised in riddles. There she informed of where he was, and showed him what the situation was and had always been. He realised his position in all this. He had to warn the people of the real dimension that the everflame would indirectly bring about destruction.

Appearance: His fur is a mixture of unique colours that form into a greyish tone. He wears a black suit with a white undershirt and red tie. Black pants and shoes. All these different colours seem to drift off his body, like aetheric tendrils rising into the air.



Name: Seeker
Age: N/A
Species: Feshanoq

Location: Dimension of Light
Occupation: Dimensional Diplomat

Weaponry: None

Biography: A native creature of the planet known as G7 or Raven’s Nest. She and her Gathen companion (it’s a six legged tiger creature). Her species, or what was left of it, had a connection to other dimensions. They could hear whispers, particularly when some inter-dimensional event was about to occur. When Korius killed her, she jumped the dimensions and found herself surrounded in the light. She communicated a lot easier than Howl ever could, and figured out the situation, while fighting the corner for the real dimension, making sure that the beings in this dimension allowed for a diplomatic solution before any force was employed.

Appearance: Humanoid, yet to many eyes, seemingly ephemeral. Her body is like that of a blue flame, flickering and dancing in the air, burning with colour, bright and glowing, almost blinding in its vibrancy. Antennae sprout from her head and neck, reaching out like fingers with feelers on the end. Her face is nothing but rich dark eyes and a wide smile, while her hair bursts back from her head, and continues growing out of her neck, along her back and down to form her tail.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Name: Chronin Epheral
Age: 35
Species: Black dragon

Location: Capital Sphere
Occupation: 'Elite' security on Captial Sphere

Weaponry: well-maintained and used plasma rifle; "port-a-bomb" glove(creates sphere-shaped explosives, bigger explosion takes a proportional amount of time realtive to size increase), and a stun baton

Bio: Chronin vividly remembered what happened during the hours after Everflame was taken, especially seeing his father die by the hands of panicking security guards. He took his father's invention and the designs, moving all over until running into Kateri and the vixen that had him stay under her custody. He kept his father's invention a secret until at age 25, when Kateri looked through his belongings in a moment of curiosity. She was going to tell her superior, but Chronin didn't want to lose his only memior of his father, and was instead 'conscripted' into the security force, his only given weapon a brand new plasma rifle. Now, it still has a 'glow' of reliability but has stains and scuffs from years of use. He has his own home, but routinely comes to help Kateri with the retired vixen.

Appearance: Wears an armored set of trenchcoat, pants, and another armored vest underneath the trenchcoat. His face resembles that of a real killer, but that changes when he addresses Kateri, looking borderline immature. His crimson hair reflects his bipolar-like personality as it 'spikes' out when he feels threatened, but deflates when happy or really calm.

[KittKat chunky~]

hmn.... to use old characters... or not to use old characters....


Well, i'l make sure to write up my character sheets by the end of today... for now im being chucked off the computer 

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Thanks Kitt.

And Chrono, that's a great character. I like how you've integrated him with the existing characters rather than just existing in a vacuum.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

I wanted to bring back my character from the orginal Everflame, but the two cons were: The idea was shot down as overpowered; He would be in his late fifties or early sixties, which basically kills any chance of self-reliance since he would still be 'evil-crazy'

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

yeah the old one was totally overpowered. I like this new, more ordinary one.

[KittKat chunky~]

Name: Annie Yantova
Age: 43
Species: Fox
Location: The Admiration (Now outfitted as an Explorator-Mechanicus voyager ship)
Occupation: Explorator-Mechanicus, Ex Colonial Marine and fugitive.
Weaponry: Flashlight, two energy-pistols and console-slicing equipment.

Biography: 25 years have passed since the daring rescue from the colonial carrier. During those years the few marines who remained travelled much of the stellar routes in the admiration, living a life away from laws. Over the years other marines have left, and died... including Kitt...
Now at the age of 43, Annie is living her life as an Explorator-Mechanicus, scouting out new stellar routes, scavenging from ship wreckage and then selling whatever she finds... Explorator-Mechanicus  are well known, no matter which planet you travel to, and Annie's numerous barters and trades take her to the sphere on a very regular basis, for there she can sell her findings at higher prices than on outer-rim planets.
 
Appearance: Thick russet fur, tufted ears and thick bushy tail. White muzzle, wears mismatched uniform consisting of red Mechanicus carapace plates, marine fatigues and various other items.


Name: Blaze Yantova
Age: 18
Species: Feline Fox, Mixed species
Location: The Admiration
Occupation: None technically, he helps his mother when on exploratory missions.
Weaponry: Flashlight, compact energy-pistol and console slicing equipment.

Biography: Blaze was Kitt and Annie’s only child. He was only five when Kitt died, killed during an exploratory mission, during which the Admiration was ambushed by Dalorian Scavengers. The once-captain of the Admiration consoled Annie, and ever since she has brought up her son on her own. She says he looks like his father and this in some ways true, for he looks more feline than vulpine... Now aged eighteen, Blaze continues to help his mother in her work, aspiring to one day become a colonial marine like Kitt has been.

Appearance: Thick tan fur, tufted ears and thick bushy tail. White muzzle, wears mismatched uniform consisting of red Mechanicus carapace plates, marine fatigues and various other items. Looks more like Kitt did mixed with Annie’s more vixen-y traits.



okay Asia... i had a few ideas buzzing around... and decided i might go with this one... how does it sound?

And yes, i killed off Kitt... and i hope the profession description makes sense... Explorator-Mechanicus was a random idea i had (basically, scouts who go around, searching wreckage and stuff for valuable technology and selling it)...

[Kitt_R_Beesley]

Name: Kitt Beesley
Age: 21
Species: Red Fox

Location: Kitt is currently hunting through the thick forest of his home world, a planetoid marked d-37 called Luscious by the inhabitants for all of the vegetation.
Occupation: Farmer. Although he is very dissatisfied with the lifestyle.

Weaponry: A hunting rifle 30 ought 6 and a Bo Staff trained to fight with it by his father.

Biography: Kitt's father is a retired military official so Kitt was raised listening to his fathers stories from the events that transpired in the first game. At the age of twelve Kitt's father decided to teach him to wield a Bo Staff, partly to controll his temper, partly to help him deal with bullies. Now nine years later he is rarely seen without it. His greatest desire is to join the military and become a fighter pilot, however nither of his parents will lend him the money to get to a recruiting station on one of the central planets so Kitt has been hunting through the forest waiting for a military patrol of the planet so he could hitch a ride to the inner planets and hopefully to a life with more excitement than he had now.
Appearance: Dresses in whatever is most comfortable at the time. Has shoulder length hair and two black hooks on his muzzle is carrying a Bo Staff and hunting rifle.

[Entaru]

Thanks for letting me play as one of the "strange" dimension creatures Asia.  You wont regret it.

Name: Nero
Age: N/A
Species: ????

Location: Dimension of Light
Occupation: (Should make sense according to the location, but doesnt have to.)

Weaponry: None

Biography: Nero has been shunned by his "kin" his entire life.  While the other beings were made from light, or what is percieved as light, his creation was in stark contrast.  Born from a black hole, he was immediately recognized as dangerous to the beings that inhabited the dimension of light.  His presence alone caused the beings to doubt their immortality, feeling that even their power may be drawn into his void.  These were all rumors however...created and spread through unconfirmed fears.  No one knows exactly what Nero is or what he can do...all anyone knows is that he cares little for his kind and even less for the creatures of the real dimension.  In his mind, the creatures of the real dimension stole the Everflame and deserve to be punished for their actions.

Appearance:
           Real-Dimension- Takes the form of an incredibly disfigured hyena.  He is missing his right eye and much of his fur seems to be falling out from disease.  The missing eye's socket just stands empty...a black pit seeming to go on forever.  Many of his teeth are missing and seemed to have rotted out of his own head.  His left arm is crippled and withered...useless.  He walks hunched over, like an old man, but his stride feels betrays an air similar to that of a nobleman's.  He keeps himself wrapped in gray and black rags to hide his visage.
           Strange-Dimension- His form is that of a colossal (you could fit Jupiter up his nose), featureless (so much for the nose comment), humanoid...seemingly made up of the blackness of space dotted with stars, planets, and galaxies.  In place of his right eye swirls a black hole.  Black, vein-like structures branch out from his form and snatch up anything that passes him by, and feed him the captured object.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Alrighty then, lots of people here. The RP will probably start first thing monday... or maybe late sunday. We'll see.

Right, starting from the top, Kitt number 1: who I shall just call Santa Claws...
You killed Kitt! aww I'm actually upset abotu that... so good job on that. it was the right decision. I like the idea of their only child. As for the occupation, it's probably almost as old as ventriloquism. Explorator Mechanicus is probably the longest name it's ever had, but probably also the nicest, compared to: Scavenger, Vulture, Stalker, Rat, Bone-pickers, scum... yeah society isn't kind to these people. But as you point out, there's always someone to buy this stuff, and if you do it right you can get a hefty sum. Though most who try it don't live too well and have to supplement it with courier jobs and the like.

But yeah, I like it, it's all good.


Kitt number 2!: who I shall just call Beesley

I wonder what would happen if this Kitt ended up meeting Annie and Blaze... that would be rather interesting.
But yeah, i like your idea, and his innocent naivety. That kind of stuff is bread and butter and for good reason. It works.

I like your character too.



Entaru!: Who I shall just call Entaru

I like his story and his physical appearance in the normal dimension. I never thought he would be humanoid in the strange dimension and that intrigues me. I like the image, it's very evocative.

You're all accepted of course.

[KittKat chunky~]

Yeah... I was kinda upset about it too   Hopefully it was the right choice, and should be good material for the Rp

And im glad you liked the name... Bring on Monday!
