Kingdom Hearts: Scion of Heart (OPEN)

KINGDOM HEARTS
Scion of Heart

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello, and welcome to Scion of Heart. We are currently open and accepting applications. Twelve applicants will be allowed in. I would like to ask all new applicants to not post upon being accepted. The post about waking up in a clearing does not apply to the twelve of you. You'll get your own post to follow. This new setting will appear when at least four more apps. have been accepted. Thanks! Confused? PM me, or ask questions in the SoH question and suggestion thread. ^_^

Please keep in mind that there is limited space. For the first three weeks, only six members will be allowed a character in this role play. This is not so much from worry that the RP will become too crowded, but for plot reasons. As time goes on, more possitions will open up.

If you wish to apply, please post here.

• Applications are first come, first serve. This is to keep it fair, and unbiased.
  
• I will require no role play sample. If you're good enough to get into the guild, you're good enough for this role play.
  
• Only one original character is allowed per applicant.
  
• You may play a canon character. However, you may not apply for them before hand. I will post when a canon becomes available, and then you may apply for that canon, if you wish. Canons are not first come first serve. Multiple people may apply, and I'll choose who I think is best.

Original Characters
These characters are you. If you wish. Or, they are whoever you want them to be. You will be playing them as if they were the main character of the story, and in many ways, that's exactly what they are. Think of Tidus, from FF X. It was his story, in the game. In this role play, your OC holds the same role. Just as Tidus met Yuna, and Yuna's story was connected with his, and Rikku's with hers, and Auron's with everyone, so your character will be connected with all others.

Regardless of whether your character is you or not... this is your story.

Canons
Yes, you may play a canon. As stated before, though, you may only apply for one when one comes along. The first come, first serve rule does not apply here. As many people can apply for a canon as they wish. I will require a role play sample for canons.

For plot reasons, canons will appear when and where I see fit. Also, if you play a canon, be prepared to follow certain instructions. Your canon must be in character. Your canon must follow my plot. Just because you play a canon does not necessarily mean you will know what's going on. This role play centers around mystery. If I tell you: "Within four posts, positions Tidus next to the edge of the cliff," then do so. Will he fall off the cliff? Maybe. Will he fly off like a birdy? I'm not telling. Not until the moment of truth. With this in place, hopefully this RP will be surprising and thrilling for everyone involved.

For a list of all taken Canons, please see the next post.

Rules
They're more like guidelines, really. xD No, actually, they are pretty important to follow. xP

1. Obey me. I am the Game Master.

2. Repeat weapons are absolutely allowed. Two people may have the same weapon, power, etc. However, your Original Character may not have a keyblade.

3. I will give you a weapon. No, you do not get to choose it. This is to encourage trying something new.

4. I will give you your powers, abilities, magic, etc. You do not get to choose them. If you look carefully, however, and if you're clever...

5. If you are unhappy with your weapon/powers you may apply for something different. If it conflicts with the plot, I will say no, or adjust because I'm cool like that. Normally, though, I will allow a weapon/power change. Each can only be changed once. After that, you're stuck with it.

6. All things must be kept appropriate. Never go beyond Gaia's PG-16 rule. This includes, no swearing, no overly graphic deaths, etc.

7. Things such as Materia, Relics, etc. will be allowed. This includes munny, elixers, and most KH/FF items. You cannot obtain them unless I specifically state they are in a room, a shop, or wherever, and able to be taken. You cannot create your own items outta thin air to be taken. I will be a jerk about this. Example: "Hey, look over there, a ribbon that cures all status effects! I'm so glad I found it!" No. Just no. Unless I say there is a ribbon over there, it didn't just suddenly POOF into my Role Play.

Also, if you want to obtain an item, you need to pick it up where I say it's located. Also, if it's impossible for you to get to the item before another player, you may not have a grab at it until they've had a chance to post.

8. You must remain active in the RP to be allowed to stay. If you're going to be absent, say so in the Absence thread in the main forum, or PM me saying so. Repeatedly long absences will result in permanent withdrawal from the RP. (Direct quote from Heartfelt Adventure)

9. Keep the OOC chatter to a minimum, please. Not a very strictly enforced rule, but please. If you have any questions, don't ask me in the thread. Ask via PM, or in the Suggestion/Question thread.

10. When I give you choices, pay attention. If you're leaving an area, post that that's what you're attempting to do. I will give you a choice of your exits. If you wish to exit one way post "Character Name exits via exit one" or something. As with this entire RP, I will give you your choices. Granted, there are times when I won't be this strict, won't always be holding your hand. But other times it is vital. I will let you know when this happens.

Facts

This is a boarderline CYOA. Don't know what that means? It's a Choose Your Own Adventure. They were all the rage in Fan Fiction before they were unjustly banned from virtually all Fan Fictions sites. Basically, you read a chapter of a Fan Fic, then it gave you two, sometimes more, choices. It was as if you were the character, and then you'd get to choose which direction the story went. For example:

Sally moved slowly, examining the room. It was lavishly decorated with Celtic furniture and paintings. Two things in particular struck her as odd. There was a huge piano in the center of the room, and beyond that, a door with a huge golden star glowing in its center.

You:
Examine the piano
Examine the door

Then they'd give you a chapter number to skip to. If you examined the piano, you'd go to chapter 2, the door, chapter 3. Different things would happen depending on your choice.

You step over to the piano, and cautiously touch the keys. Suddenly, a huge monster jumps out and eats you whole. Oh, well, guess you shoulda looked at the door, huh?

You pass by the piano, not wanting to touch anything in this place that you didn't have to. Before you even have an opportunity to examine the door, it swings open before you, revealing nothing but blackness.

Do you:
Proceed through the door
Go back and give the piano a look

See what I mean? This RP won't be exactly like that, goodness no, but I will occassionally give you choices. Choose wisely or the evil piano might eat you. Also, I will hint at things that look interesting. In fact, I will guide you every step of the way. Every room that you're in, every dungeon, out door area, etc., will be fleshed out by me. That's one of the main reasons I'm only excepting six applicants at a time. I don't want to over do my work load.

This role play takes place before Chain of Memories, and after Kingdom Hearts. Pretend chain of memories and KH2 never happened.

All of Organization XIII will be a part of this role play. Yes, that mean that Roxas will eventually be playable. Namine will also be playable.

This entire role play is a mystery to be solved. You're character is a main player, but they don't know how they fit in to all of the strange things going on. How is this possible, you say? Amnesia. Oh, yes. I went there. This is your first, and continueing mystery. Who are you?

The plot, as it stands now, is approximately 80% thought out. There are some areas I just can't think of without knowing what you, the player, would do in such a situation. As such, your role playing will effect the most dramatic parts in the story. It's a living roleplay. Growing... I'm guiding it, but there are most certainly parts that I cannot predict.

Chapter One
Missing

Chapter Song: IAMX - You Can Be Happy

You should probably wake up now.

It's time-

You've been asleep...

for too long.

You should wake up.

Wake up.

You wake up to the light of the sun stinging your eyes. The noise of the jungle assaults you, as does the smell of the ocean, the feel of the breeze on your skin, the dirt on your face.

There is a pain in your chest. You feel unnaturally cold. You can't remember how you got there. In fact, you can't remember anything at all.

You are lying in the center of a small clearing. Trees and exotic plants surround you. At a glance, the foilage appears too thick for you to exit easily anywhere. Upon further inspection, you will find two exits, leading onto winding paths. To the left is the sound of the ocean, the path leading downward. To the right, a dark path with little sunlight, and many more plants and vines, a difficult road.

If you pay attention, you will notice a large leafy plant has been disturbed on the edge of the clearing, behind you as you stand. It sways unnaturally, against the breeze. You can choose to inspect this further.

_________

Items: None
Equiped: Just your clothes
Things of Interest (ToI): Leafy plant
Exits: Left exit, appears to lead to the ocean. Right exit, appears to lead into the dark jungle.
Game Master's Note: You can, if you think about it, remember your name. Otherwise, it will come up later, and you'll remember it then.
