| | Quote: | All right, this will be the Official Discussion and FAQ thread. The FAQ's are below and will be updated when questions are asked. But first, a summary of the Roleplay.
This Roleplay is Open Ended and features the casts of the different Comedy ENTƎRTAINMENT series from Genie Jinx to Mitsu Academy. The roleplay allows you to create your own story arcs to go on with in the group(s). The gist of the RP is that the various islands of this world are now connected thanks to the mistake of an evil (but harmless) mad scientist named Dr. Freek and now there are various portals throughout the islands, all in the forms of puddles after his mistake made it rain portal residue.
You may make your character from one of the pre-existing islands or you may create your own island and that island will grow as your character proceeds throughout the RP at a pace you see fit so long as it's not too fast. Your character can be virtually whatever if it's from your own island. However, if it's from one of the pre-made islands, it must be something from one of them. I'll get into that in a bit.
In this RP, there are several NPC's. However, you do not begin with them. They must be unlocked.
Guidelines
1. Because this is an Open-Ended RP, you are allowed to create your own story arcs. BUT do NOT just throw them into the RP. Discuss them a small amount first so people can accordingly plan because if someone else has one going on and yours overshadows theirs, it tends to turn ugly.
2. Do not mod please. I understand that the laws of physics are loose here but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
3. Remember this RP isn't really meant to take itself too seriously. Pretty much every series involve with the exception of maybe 1 is a comedy. Don't be upset if a situation turns laughable.
The Islands Character Specifications
You may have humans for any of the islands but each island also has specific creatures you can be.
Island 1 - The characters from this Island can basically be mythical creatures. Genies, Fairies, Sirens, etc.
Island 2 - One this island, you may be a Robo which is a small, weapons capable robot that follows their owner around as a companion and protector. If your main character is a Robo, then you might make a human character to accompany them. Rarely is there an independent Robo.
Island 3 - You may be a god or goddess if you come from this island. However, if one of those, you restrict yourself to being the God or Goddess OF something. However, Gods/Goddesses-to-Be have not found their niche yet and are capable of doing virtually anything just nothing extremely big. Gods and Goddesses can be hurt and killed just as regular people, they're just extremely long lived. You may also be a Demon (think Disgaea)
Island 4 - You can be an alien. Make up a race or be something stereotypical like a Martian.
Island 5 - Basically, this island is strictly human. However, this is the only island where your human may be a ninja so that's fun.
Island 6 - If you're from this island and aren't human, you'd be a Holiday Sprite. These are small sprite that resemble iconic symbols of holidays. You can be for any Holiday, it doesn't just have to be Halloween. If you choose this, partner up with a human. A sprite is capable of merging with humans and turning them into Holiday Warriors temporarily.
Island 7 - Coming Soon...
Island 8 - Coming Soon...
Island 9 - Coming Soon... |
FAQ
Q: So do human know about all of these otherworldly things?
A: Depends on the island they're from. Humans on Island 1 are not aware of these mythical creatures coexisting with them. Humans from Island 2 obviously are aware of Robos. Humans of Island 3 are not aware of the Gods, Goddesses, and Demons. Humans of Island 4 are not aware of the Aliens. Humans of Island 5...yeah. Humans of Island 6, with the exception of those who have SEEN this holiday world, are not aware of these Holiday Sprites.
Q: Is it okay if an alien from Island 4 is in the presence of a human from Island 1?
A: Ultimately, it doesn't matter if people see your cross-island advents. Once a character leaves an island that they didn't come from in the first place, it's almost like they were never there. People will lose all memory of it. There's a reason for that which will be explained in the RP.
Q: How much do I have to tell about my arc before I put it in motion?
A: Just a summary of the plot.
Q: I can make my own island?
A: Yes. You can make an island and as the RP progresses, your island with become more elaborate. You have complete customization rights islands you create. Just leave the pre-made islands alone.
Q: Can I be a Robo or Holiday Sprite and partner up with another player as my human?
A: Sure. That's fine.
Q: Are we allowed to have multiple OC's?
A: Absolutely. It's encouraged, actually.

| | Quote: | Note: No, the islands themselves do no resemble planets. They are large chunks of floating rock in space, each with its own core. They do have a number of our cities and have experienced a number of our historical events (those that were imagined to resemble Earth) and are only altered in so many ways otherwise.
Island 1: Genie Jinx
This island shares many of Earth's locations and histories but is greatly physically altered. There is also an entire civilization of mythical creatures secretly coexisting with mankind. Only so many humans have known about this. Usually, humans have their minds erased after discovering this. However, there are rare occasions in which a human is so extraordinary that the magical world grows to trust them. Other than those rare cases, humans discovering their existence is usually treated with high alert.
The hidden world, while expansive, is all connected through several doorways located in one place where mythical creatures tend to come and mingle; The Bajaar Outdoor Market. Here, mythical creatures trade goods, sell livestock and other useful items, etc as well as come to simply mingle and have a good time.
Whim City, Kansas is the primary location of the Story and is where Todd, Desirei, and Daisy all reside.
Island 2: Robotik
Most of the action is going to take place in Gear City, a place that is located within Japan but is largely English Speaking.
The Robotik Police are a police force who use Robos to enforce the law. Their Robos are all equipped with non-nuclear batteries as well. They strictly forbid Robo Fighting and through elite training, can shut another Robo down rather quickly if they do not comply. Most younger Robo Masters don't take them very seriously. Another note is that any Robo with potentially lethal weaponry must be equipped with a safety lock so that it may only be used in life threatening situations.
Island 3: My Maid the Goddess
In this world, if an individual dies, then they are sent to the Overworld or Underworld based on their actions when living. If sent to the Overworld, they become an Angel. If they are recommended, they might become a God/Goddess-to-Be. They are given vast abilities and use them to determine what best suits them. A deity or Angel can be harmed and/or killed if in the human world, however.
The only instance of a God/Goddess-to-Be EVER being kicked out of the Overworld for any amount of time has been with Krystal.
Someone who dies and goes to the Underworld will become a demon and through climbing ranks can be an arch-demon which is the equivalent to a god/goddess.
Island 4: Close Encounters of the Girl Kind
The majority of the action here will be taking place in Lowell, New Mexico. There are actually new aliens appearing every day. However, humans are generally unaware of this. Many of the old sightings of aliens have, in fact, been real. Several alien movies were based on events that actually occurred but no one would believe the writers. Area 51 actually exists, however, and they suspect that there is an alien on world in New Mexico.
Island 5: Mitsu Academy
The Ninjas of this island are dominantly spies and trained to take on grueling missions and the like. Not many are assassins. Ninjas are trained in elite Ninja Academies such is the one Mitsu attends. While there are a number of old practices taken in this day and age, things are still rather modern with a blend of the old and new.
Island 6: 13th Street
The world of Holiday located within this island is a world divided into sections by several doors. These doors lead into different Holiday realms. 13th Street is an average suburban street. At the end is an abandoned and presumably haunted old house. A mad of scientist once lived there and he discovered a way to travel to this world. It was through this that the Halloween sprites found their way out. This world is known of only by a handful of young people who often visit the holiday world to protect it.

| It is official. I am starting today. Again, RP is entirely open, I'm not sure I've EVER seen an RP give THIS MUCH freedom aside from Improvisation RP's. Now the part that's gonna be a bit uniform. I'm only granting immediate access to your own islands and Island 1-6. 7-10 as well as the characters from them are all unlockables. To get them, you have to take missions from good ol' Dr. Freek and I will post a missions list soon. Some missions involve "Bosses" and after those missions are completed, yay, you get new unlockables! You characters will all start off on the Island of your character's origin. I will, in the Sign-Up Thread, post an Application for anyone looking to create their own island instead of using a pre-made one. Those of you that do that, your first interactions will be with Dr. Freek and any other players who decide to be from your island. Yes, that's right, if you create an island, other players can make characters for them and you can create your own registration form for that island. Simply send it to me and I will post it. That's all, guys, happy Island Hopping! |
