Welcome to Gaia! ::

PLOT
Every idea creates a reality. Some realities are stronger than others... most fade... But a few survive... If an Idea has many followers it will flourish and grow its reality remaining strong and UN weltered.

The Final Fantasy realms are much like that. An Idea embraced by millions and they themselves have there own stable reality. Until now... The Realities being based on games are filled with the same glitches, or rather unanswered questions... If the reality itself took that into account then it would begin to destabilize. But being as powerful as the reality was it would take its own survival into account. The reality would then search for a more stable reality to leech into. Slowly merging with that reality and creating a supposedly symbiotic world in which both realities would coexist.

Video Game realms have come undone slowly unraveling into a nothing. But have begun to merge with a much more stable reality... Everything is merging slowly... Monsters with Animals, Plants with Plants and People with people. But to merge with a person they must have a window into the reality the character comes from... Meaning they must know of the reality. The reality the realms have chosen is, our world...

The events of this RP follow 20 years after the beginning of the phenomenon, come to be known as convergence.

The beginning of this convergence was played out in the original Shadowed Reality which can be found here .

STORY
20 years has passed since the Convergence began, since then shiest users have been discovered by the public and are treated like freaks or outcasts, the government plans on capturing an isolating all Gheist users.

The cause of the effect has been found and for 15 years now most forms of entertainment have been outlawed. This world is one devoid of creativity and starved for originality. This of course have cause children of all ages to rebel and try to find other ways to entertain themselves...

Secret groups began forming, where people would meet and play Games and read comics.

This practice became common enough for several new generations of ghiest users to come forth. These children where out casted upon discovery and most are now in concentration camps with other ghiests users. These camps are also being used to to secretly create a rebel army to oppose the government and take back the rights and freedoms taken from the world.

All new characters will play as one of these children.

*Characters can be no older than 19*

Background: Frog is a knight from 600 A.D., whose real name is Glenn. He was a squire under Cyrus, a "Knight of the Square Table." Glenn had a notably close, although platonic, friendship with Queen Leene. He later witnessed Cyrus's death at the hands of Magus, and shortly afterwards, was transformed into an anthropomorphic frog by the dark wizard. Frog dedicates his life to protecting Queen Leene and vows to avenge Cyrus by killing Magus. Blaming himself for failing to be strong, Frog is depicted as chivalric but mired in regret over the past. He is the true bearer of the Masamune, an ancient sword whose offensive capabilities against magic users is Magus's major weakness. Frog can later put Cyrus' ghost to rest, regaining his courage and clearing his conscience, and he has the opportunity to either defeat or ally himself with Magus. Frog wields a broadsword and can learn "Water" magic once he meets Spekkio; like Marle, he also features a few healing techs, but most of his are offensive. Frog is also a physically strong character. Frog's water element makes him weak against fire damage.

And he probably would have gotten more of a reaction if everyone was conscious!

Leaned against the side of someone's cabin, watching the said 'Oz' with a sort of bored curiousity. He'd get around to him when he felt like it...

Considering all the people, this place was pretty lonely, well truthfully none of these people where ever really 'alone' but most everyone seemed to share the same vacant expressions, I guess they where all outcasts like him. That made Osrick feel a little at ease, which was a nice feeling considering the hell he'd just been through. Eventually the people surrounding him dispersed even Elwood walked with some other guy, now he really was alone!

"I do believe you should get hopping..."
"To do what? I'm like shell shocked here there's nothing for me to do! Why the hell would Elwood just leave me to my own devices like that without even saying goodbye, I don't even know anybody here! He never gave me any instructions either.... Where am i supposed to sleep!?!"
"I always find it soo amusing that you talk to openly to me but on the outside people are lucky if you say two words...."
"Seriously what should I do? I'm like panicking!"

Osrick quickly shook her hand try not to make eye contact, as that would of made him too nervous too. He smiled faintly "Nice to meet you..." he said softly "I'm Osrick... You can call me Oz I dont have a last name..."

Oz smirked briefly and waved "Hello Raziel... My voice is Frog... From Chrono Trigger. I never really got to play any newer games all we had was an old refurbished snes to screw around with... So you'll excuse me if I'm not exactly boned up on my Soul Reaver trivia... heh."

"I like her!"

Osrick groaned "Yeah, he's pleased to meet you too..." he smiled.
