Return to the Planet

It has been five years since Sephiroth's second coming that nearly brought about the end of the Planet again. It was through the valiant efforts of Cloud and his friends that the world was saved from this gruesome fate, and now the people and the Planet itself are at a well earned, deserved, and restful peace. The people of Midgar have managed to rebuild the city back to its former glory with the cooperation of the ShinRa CO, which has become a more environmental friendly corporation itself; it has been through their own experimentation and desire for a better future that they were able to discover a way to recycle the Mako energy they sapped from the Lifestream deep beneath the Planet's crust. With the discovery of oil as well, they've managed to push forward faster in a way they never could have imagined in the ways of technological development.
Monsters still walk the earth and they continue to grow more numerous than the people themselves, and far more dangerous. SOLDIERs are being stationed everywhere now that ShinRa CO. has become a more acceptable part of the world and now that many of the countries have come across a treaty of unity between each other. It's through combined efforts between ShinRa and each city's own military that the monsters are kept at bay but more attempts are made to quell the accelerating population of creatures, which makes it difficult for even safe walks now.
Rebellions are also still present, including the original AVALANCHE, which is no longer run by Barret Wallace who has since retired due to old age and that he feels that ShinRa is no longer corrupting the Planet as they once were. It is in the hands of his daughter now who adamantly disagrees with her father's own opinions and seeks to bring ShinRa to the ground where it had been once upon a time. Other smaller rebellions are located all over, but AVALANCHE is the most infamous and strongest of them with bases located all over. While both AVALANCHE and ShinRa are constantly at war with one another, life does still go on. Every day more and more recruits are sought to fill the growing ranks of SOLDIER and more are sought to bring AVALANCHE to an incredible strength to take on their enemy. Others go on to live their lives as normally as they can despite this war and despite the monsters, and others still wait patiently for a darker day to strike back.

Copies of a poster are tacked onto walls all around Midgar City, including the Slums, Wall Market, and neighborhoods. Aside from the cruel and immature scribblings of children and other citizens on many of the sheets, some remain quite intact and left alone; beneath a sketch of a cruel looking snarling monster head is the following:
WANTED
Reward for its live capture!

There has been a monster terrorizing the slums of Midgar, killing several dwellers and wounding many more. It is on a relentless hunt for more victims and should be considered very dangerous. Approach with caution and at your own risk. IT MUST BE CAPTURED ALIVE. If seen, please contact the nearest ShinRa SOLDIER to get assistance in its capture. It is most active from dusk to dawn but has not yet revealed a pattern in its hunting methods.

Rules for participating in in-thread stories.
  1. You can only play a normal civilian character if you do not have a character already. You cannot play the character you wish to have since many people wish to be official characters, Sephiroth Clones, Monster/Humans, and more.
  2. Do not impede on others' posting. Try and set up a posting order if possible to make things easier.
  3. You are not in control of what NPCs are doing or will do. This is up to the thread supervisors and story supervisors whose names will be listed in this section.
  4. You must keep OOC and IC separated during game play.
  5. Story updates will be posted periodically through the thread and also in this post so everyone is up to date.
  6. Do not ask when a story ends; we will decide when it does.
  7. Not all story events will have a prize. Some may andsome won't. The point of story events is to get activity inside the thread while creating a community within the RPers that also gives them a chance to get involved, have something to do, and make friends.

Updates

02.21.06 :: The thread has been altered to hopefully make things appear albeit more organized and appealing. We're still working on graphics and I'd like to thank Selona, Marushii, and Jessie-kat all to the staff acting as colorists and record keepers. They've all also been a great help in concepts during the shop's existance.

Thread Rules

  1. Read everything on the front page and everything in the guild before asking any questions. We've made an attempt to cover every possibility in every corner of this shop. Chances are that whatever you're curious about already has been answered so please take the time to look.
  2. Be respectful to everyone in this thread, not just the staff. These are people you will have to interact with at some point while being on the thread.
  3. Do not pretend to be staff when you are not one. Do not attempt to act like a staff member either; we will take care of problems as we see them.
  4. Listen to the staff.
  5. Do not PM staff for any reason unless told to otherwise. This includes sending instant messages of any sort on any other program.
  6. Above all, do not steal the art. This is a bannable offense and you will not like the consequences that will follow afterwards.
  7. Please try to keep the OOC in brackets. We are trying to introduce role play into the main shop -- not just within the guild -- and it's hard to distinguish role play posts from OOC sometimes. There will be times when the RP only state will be lifted to chat with ease, which is usually during hiatuses and other times.
  8. Rules are subject to change without notice, but we will generally always post when a rule has been altered, added, or removed.

Ownership Rules

  1. In order to be an owner you have to be an active participant. Every person is required to make at least one post in their journal each month, a good size post that is intended to push their character further on in development. The more activity you show as an owner the better it is for your character.
  2. There is no coownership of characters except for very minor exceptions in the future, such as twin characters or partner characters.
  3. You are not allowed to sell or trade off your character.
  4. You are allowed to relinquish ownership of your character, but you will not be allowed to get them back, so, choose wisely before giving them up. The only exceptions will be in the case of real life issues, in which case your character will be assigned a temporary owner until you feel you can come back to them.
  5. Before embarking on any major life changing plots for your character you must first confirm the story with the staff. This is so that we can make sure you aren't violating any rules -- known or unknown -- and that we can offer suggestions, help, and be prepared for anything ourselves.


F.A.Q.s List

Stages

Infant: The infant relies on a Guardian (you, serving either as a legal Guardian or as the biological parent) to take care of them. They are like normal infants, incapable of defending themselves or for caring for themselves. This is when they are at their most vulnerable and require a constant care on the part of the parent(s).
Minimum Growth Requirement: One month.

Toddler: The baby has grown and still at this point in their life is incapable of caring for themselves. Here is where they are most impressionable to the world around them, and begin to learn basic mobile skills, such as eating, walking, and speech.
Minimum Growth Requirement: One month.

Child: The third stage in your character's life. They still need parent guidance but can do simple tasks such as feeding themselves, changing their own clothes, ect. This is also the point where they can be enlisted into certain factions (if allowed) per the acceptance of that group and parental consent.
Minimum Growth Requirement: Two months.

Teenager: Not much to say about a teenager that isn't already known. This is the point where they gain the idea of independance and may or may not leave home to do as they please.
Minimum Growth Requirement: Two months.

Young Adult: By legal standards they are now old enough to live on their own and do as they wish. Still albeit impressionable and immature, depending.
Minimum Growth Requirement: Three months.

Adult: Grown entirely and aging. Not much more is needed to be said.




Character Races and Types

Artificial Intelligence - A brand of machinery that simulates the intelligence of humans, and even more as a computer. These were first introduced by the Shin-Ra CORP, and are now becoming widely available to the public. Most A.I.s (as they are called) are given a body to work in. The most typical is just the robotic body that most people are used to seeing while others are given skin and clothes too appear more human.

Cosmo Canyon Creatures - There are no records of what the name of this tribe is. The only known living survivor is Red XIII - by the Shin-Ra CORP files - or otherwise known as Nanaki. They are a race of large cat like creatures with flames on their tails and very tribal in their appearence. They live for hundreds of years, incredibly intelligent, and are capable of talking in the human tongue.
UNAVAILABLE

Gi / Human - Very few of these races exist. Even if they do, they are not even considered half breed because the Gi blood has become so thin inside of them after years of being without the tribe. This tribe destroyed the Cosmo Canyon Creatures and are a vicious group. They are otherwise extinct and the only survivors are those with the little blood in them that they may not even know they have.
Available only through auction and some trades.

Jenova / Human - CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
Available only through auction and some trades.

Monster / Human - Humans who have been unfortunately subjected to mutation with monster genes. This is usually done through genetic tampering, and in some cases, through actual interspecies breeding. They more often than not are described as "feral people," normally always retaining their more monstrous side.
UNAVAILBLE

Summon / Human - CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
UNAVAILABLE

Weapon / Human - CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
Available only through auction and some trades.

Human - Very self explanatory.

Sephiroth Clone - CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
Available only through auction and some trades, and if you have qualified to own one.




Factions

AVALANCHE : AVALANCHE is run by Marlene Wallace, the daughter of the famous Barret Wallace, the original creator of this resistance group. They view the acts of Shinra as murder to the Planet and are seeking to destroy their power and to let the Planet live on as it's supposed to. They are often times called radical for their assaults, but the group is closely knit and spread out all across the world.
Availability : COMMON

Faction, Ex- : The Ex-Factions are former members of any of the Factions listed here. They retain all their abilities that came with being a part of that Faction.
Availability : COMMON / Young Adult & Adults Only

Ninjas, Wutai : Trained in the eastern city of Wutai, they are headed by another famous character in the world: Yuffie Kisaragi. Their specializations generally run under the use of daggers, throwing weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, and especially the use of materia. Many believe them to be nothing more than a group of thieves with a strange sense of honor that exists amongst only them. While difficult to become a part of, it's an experience worth doing.
Availability : UNCOMMON

None : This is simply that: your character has no faction. They are merely a civilian.
Availability : EVERYONE

SOLDIERs, Jenova : The Jenova SOLDIERs are not what are considered people. They are laboratory grown embryos that have been introduced to the cells of Jenova, though in some cases Jenova's cells are introduced directly to the fetus of a pregnant mother. The most notable Jenova SOLDIERs have been Cloud Strife (Missing) and Sephiroth (Deceased). The original scientist behind the creation of the Jenova SOLDIERs was Hojo (Deceased) who was destroyed by AVALANCHE years before.
Jenova SOLDIERs are extremely powerful and dangerous. They are considered to be soulless puppets created merely as weapons of destruction by the Shinra Corporation.
Availability : RARE

SOLDIERs, Weapon : The newest branch of SOLDIERs; these are embryos and fetusus that have been introduced to the cells of infamous weapons such as Ultima, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond. They are hard to control and many experiments containing them have failed. They are not human, at all, in appearence, and often are born with strange mutations to their bodies: tails, extra limbs, scales, ect. They have not been properly tested but are rumored to be more powerful than Jenova SOLDIERS.
Availability : RARE

SOLDIERs : SOLDIERs are the military assistance to Shinra. They are trained from a young age and infused with Mako energy to make them stronger, faster, and more powerful. They are marked by a glowing glow to their eyes, which is the only other physical side effect. This is considered a normal part of life by the rest of the population.
Availability : COMMON

Turks : Turks are the elite mercenaries of the Shinra Corporation. They have been especially trained to handle any situation, which includes being sent on high class operations. They are an uncommon group and are dressed to impress. Many residents believe them to be a sort of mafia.
Availability : UNCOMMON





Materia

There are different types of materia, all of which are various colors and have their own unique spells. They can be equipped to armors, items, and weapons and can help improve things such as physical attributes as well.
Materia grows the more you use it and it becomes more powerful. Quite a lot are elementally based and therefore they need to be used wisely. A list for each Materia type will be listed in the guild once it's up and running.
Magic Materia : Magic Materia is colored green and is the most common to find. There are twenty one different kinds and they fall under the categories of Attack, Cure, and Indirect.
Command Materia : Colored yellow, these Materia balls grant you extra abilities, such as Steal, Slash-All, and more.
Summon Materia : Colored red, this Materia is powerful in the aspect that they summon monsters to aide them in battle. The monsters will, at first, be weak, but will become stronger with more and more use. There are at least sixteen that are known though new Materia is constantly popping up.
Support Materia : Support Materia comes in the color blue. They are something much like the Command Materia, adding extra abilities to what you're capable of doing to the enemy(ies).
Independant Materia Some of the more useful materia, they are also a sort of Support Materia. Colored purple, these help to change status effects, such as granting a longer life to your character during battle, helping to regenerate wounds, ect.

Owners List
Chocobo Fun

On the outskirts of Kalm is the Chocobo Farm, which has continuously grown into a massive ranch. People from all over come here to acquire the fine animals. Chocobos are large birds capable of many uses and make great companions; most are used for mounts for traveling and others for labor. They're very friendly when tamed, very feathery, and very big. Many people also use them in battle and others race them.
Most Chocobos are found out in the wild, but the Chocobo Farm where you can rent or even buy your own Chocobos and breed them to get more. Through breeding you're capable of acquiring stronger Chocobos and many different colors if the Chocobos are treated greatly and are fed the right Greens and Nuts.
Chocobos are sold in a single batch of five eggs. These eggs are picked from the various nests laid by multiple mothers, meaning the eggs are not related to one another unless specified. Each egg is sold at a value of 1,000g. There is no telling what color, type, or sex your Chocobo will be until it hatches.


OOC Information: Any person can acquire Chocobos so long as they are not on the Blacklist in the shop. You do not have to be a player here to own one, and these are Role Play optional, meaning you can choose to RP as them or have them be owned by your character. However, every person, regardless of how they use the Chocobos, can only own four at a time; if you wish to get rid of a Chocobo you are allowed to set it free (which means they'll never be seen again) or you can choose to give it away to someone else.
Chocobos have three stages and grow only when you ask for them. This is done for people who wish to have role play opportunities with the creatures.

Black List - If you find yourself here you are not allowed to post on this thread and cannot come around on mules either. If found out you'll be dealt with.
Arrikanez : A person who seems to suck the life out of roleplay pets and communities, and therefore is not welcome in this one.
Nyao-chan : Tends to do nothing but whine and complain and gets upset when things never go her way. More reasons apply that she and many others are aware of.

Hints for getting the best kind of character: be as descriptive as possible, provide any helpful image links, as well as information links. We will not send sketches of the character to see if it's what you like; it will be drawn as needed according to the information sent to us and the final result will not be revealed until completion.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via AIM (though it is probably best to contact Toushin on AIM [Toushiin]) and we can talk about it. Thank you!
