Quote: For all your OoC chatter and questions concerning Dimensions.
... you may post your profile into this thread wink Although the story will have you copy two codes for your character sheet, please use only one post per character.
You can find all characters, including a sample, in the Dimensions Thread in the RP Character subforum. The information for the thread is to be found in the RP Information subforum.
Quote: Current Possible Storylines:
EARTH
[Moskov] ]Help for Moskov: Moskov is under siege by Nightmares. However, messengers have not been send out yet to the other cities.
[Moskov] ]The best defence is a good offense: We need some brave warriors who crawl through that Gate and see what the other world is like.
[Chicago] ]Survival of the fittest: Skogran must be explored! There are probably many resources available to be discovered as well.
[Chicago] ]The very first airships: Chicago needs YOU to be a captain and test out their new invention. The risk is high, but so is the pay.
[Cairo] Monopoly: Some of our businessmen think it would be good if they could keep an eye on everything... but I think it would be even better if we ruled it all.
[Cairo] High in the sky: It has come to my ears that Chicago has created airships. Go get me the plans, so we can finally explore the divine skies where the angels come from.
THE UMBRAL
[Nightmare] We will rise!: We, Nightmares, are tired of being opressed! Today, it is our time to shine! Today, we take over the new world!
[Nightmare] Coup de grace: Them Winged Ones have been fighting the Accursed for decades. What if we helped them attain victory?
[Nightmare] Nu'nafian spies: We are sure that them Accursed are plotting against us. We must find them... kill them... if we want Nu'nafi to remain ours.
[Accursed] On the other side...: I'm sure the new world has its citizen as well. We just hope they are wise enough to lend us a hand and defeat the uprise of the Nightmares.
[Accursed] New allies? New power! : A new world offers much. Yes, probably allies too. But where allies are, influence and might can be achieved, right?
[Accursed] Reclaim a fallen city: Nu'nafi has fallen to the urpise of the Nightmares. We must reclaim it, but our forces are lacking...
[Accursed] Endless War: As if the Nightmares aren't enough, we keep on fighting against those damned Daikurian. We should find means to stop it.
SKOGRAN
[Totemic] Curiousity kills the cat: We had our share with the Winged Ones. And we had our share of losses when we tried to explore their lands. But today, the Humans all drop the words 'air ship'. Perhaps, if some of us Totemic could join them, we might find knowledge and understand their ways?
[Totemic] An honourable race?: The Humans don't seem to bad. Perhaps we could invite a few for a Test of Honour and become allies.
[Hexen] The Far Seer: Our Seer has seen. The Humans only bring war and pain. We can't suffering be part of our life, thus we shouldn't ally them. No, we should defend our lands against them and keep them out of Skogran.
[Hexen] Words of wisdom: The Totemic told me stories of their new friends and their past. Perhaps we could aid them in achieving enlightenment and reteach them how to live in harmony with their environment.
ELYSIA
[Daikurian] Endless War: For decades we have fought these brave souls, the Accursed, but alas, we never were able to show the greatness of our race. But soon.... Real soon, the Umbral will be ours.
[Daikurian] Honour thy enemy: We've fought for decades against these brave souls, the Accursed, and many agree it should come to an end. They are an enemy worthy to let live. Why don't we get a cease-fire and learn from each other?
[Daikurian] Infiltration for War: These two-legged pinkskins seem to have things we never saw or heared before. What if we could rebuild something similar? Then perhaps we might finally be able to beat our enemies at the front line.
[Daikurian] Tactical Combat: We should explore the world of the pinkskins and see if there are other Gates, other Worlds to reach, other places where our kin may bloom.
Quote: Everybody is free to join one or more storylines, or create their own storyline.
Yes, I'm highly aware that some storylines are contradictory... Future all depends on your choices.

RP open for bussiness 3nodding I get the feeling I'll have overdone this RP in comparison to the amount of people we have in this guild ^^;
The RP threads will be moved depending what races are played, and only when a few characters are up :]
People who wish their own made storyline to be of impact on future events, should PM me with the details so we can work things out.

I'm waiting for a few people to post before I add a character. I hope that the new members will join too, as I think Dimensions' potential will need a lot of players ^^;

I agree but I thought that maybe having a few characters existing might encourage others to join.

Hey Raven--can you expand on the technomancy thing for me? Is this something people can sort of do on their own? What kind of weapons can be used? Is Earth based on a Victorian type setting or is it more modern from a social standpoint?
Also, I can't seem to find a real background story for the RP? Or am I just derping? I think I checked all the threads and read through them but I didn't see anything like "This is how the gates appeared and this is the relationship between earth and the other places."
I've been kind of tired and distracted lately so maybe I just missed it.

I will chat with you more as i solidify who/what i want to do. wink

StrawberryZ0mbie Hey Raven--can you expand on the technomancy thing for me? Is this something people can sort of do on their own? What kind of weapons can be used? Is Earth based on a Victorian type setting or is it more modern from a social standpoint? Also, I can't seem to find a real background story for the RP? Or am I just derping? I think I checked all the threads and read through them but I didn't see anything like "This is how the gates appeared and this is the relationship between earth and the other places." I've been kind of tired and distracted lately so maybe I just missed it. There isn't much of a background story in general, however the history of each area/world explains what happened to that place. For Earth, it's the running out of resources: oil, coal, drinking water, wood... that caused Humans to live in fear of extinction. In return, they believed that an all-out offense on other countries was the solution, in other words, cul the weak and thin the human population - how ironic it actually sounds. At the point of where people start, you could consider Earth in a post-apocalyptic state, rebuilding itself to its former glory. This is done by starting with a steampunk-ish era, though instead of steam Ahma is made and used as a new resource. On matters of social, clothing and all that, they are further in time than victorian age, but just like you're free to dress today you can dress anything you wish there too - no one stops you from wearing victorian and acting like it. I'd even say that remembering the past and honouring it is something they'd value even more than us today. On the gates: most info posts are written based on the perspective of that race. Humans have no clue how or what the gates are. They consider it like any other inexplainable phenomenon: it's unknown, so we should investigate and learn what it is. However, the denizen of Elysia know how it came to existance: they are the ones who made them thanks to complicated rituals and magic . There is but one thing that they don't know: how is it possible that other gates, not related to their world, have opened? Perhaps there is something else out there? There's general information to be found in the Area info threads. However, I can expand technomancy for you: In general, humans 'plug in' an Ahma battery in their skin, or connect a small device containing Ahma so to be able to use Ahma. It allows those technomancers several new options, but the drawback is that it slowly kills them too (consider it like smoking on long term) as using Ahma in this way isn't all too healthy - that is what humans are trying to discover at this stage, actually. What is possible for technomancers: - manipulating the environment's magnetic field, creating an effect similar to 'telekinesis' on everything holding metal. - throwing small rays or bolts of elecricity; a rather painful offensive ability. - overloading/hacking certain computers... if you know your way around stuff like that. - refueling an empty Ahma battery at a 1:1 ratio. Might be useful to get machinery started... like your car in the mid of an escape. - 'reviving' people in a similar way like using a defibrillator. - ... and who knows whatever you can come up with in this line of things. Weapons are usually kept pretty basic. There is barely any resource available to make bullets, but there's enough wood for bows and arrows. Scraps as materials are available too. Poles, knifes, spears are more common. You can make swords and shields or perhaps modify a gun to have it fueled by Ahma. Especially technomancers are good at combining technology with Ahma, and use it.

Hm. Perhaps I should add more info <.<; Especially on possible factions, society and all that. I'll take a look at that when my mind's not stormy from changing seasons and when I got some time to spend xP
Thanks for pointing it out, Esh x3

And which kin will you consider yours?Humans Now, what actions will be natural to you...?Calculative, Influencial, Well-Worded ...And by what actions will you become hated?Arrogance, Power Hungry, Weak Constitution due to Technomancy If you'd have fame, how would you have earned it...?Many successful ideas, plans and suggestions on the use of Ahma. One of the first Technomancers, and has started the Airship Project ... and which actions have caused your downfall?His arrogance has made many enemies in high society and other cities.

Which magic has touched you?Technomancy What part of that magic is your strength?Manipulation of Magnetic Fields aka Telekinesis What part of that magic is lacking?Subtlety and Utility: hacking, overloading and other concetration heavy/detailed tricks.

For those who wish to have their influence in the storyline as well, the storyline goes hand-in-hand with the Totemic's similar storyline (Curiousity kills the cat) and the Cairo storyline 'High in the Sky'.

Especially technomancers are good at combining technology with Ahma, and use it. So Ahma is somewhat like ADAM in bioshock then? I'll have to think about a character still; I have his basics but I need to sort of determine where he fits into things. Anyway--I did see the brief history given for each race but I was mostly unclear about the gates and what role they played on earth, so thanks for answering that. =3

Never played Bioshock ^^; As far as I have read on it, it isn't entirely as Adam. Ahma is easiest to compare with electricity in matters of effect, but I guess you could see it as ADAM in matters of 'symbiosis' with the human body. It melts with the body so a person can use it, but the longer it is connected with the body the more it will damage it over time - especially the nervous system will suffer from it.
So far though, the whole technomancy thing is more in an Alpha testing phase. Scientists are still checking what the long-term effects are on people... who knows, scientists might be able to create a kind of humanoid/Ahma abominations as science goes on.
and you're welcome ^^ If you have more questions or need suggestions, feel free to ask :3

In what body do you wish to be Bound?5'9", short, messy red hair (yes, the tektek is not correct--there was no good red hair), fair skin, freckles, very athletic What is your name?Jake Lewis Do you wish to be Bound as a man or a woman?Male Which dimension shall be the first to hear your deeds?Earth And which kin will you consider yours?Human Now, what actions will be natural to you...?Jake is loud mouthed, opinionated and somewhat aggressive. He's rarely serious unless he's angry, in which case he tends to get violent and loud. Otherwise he tends to joke around a lot, thought he is somewhat smart mouthed and sarcastic. Having grown up in a less fortunate sort of family, Jake took to petty theft and shop lifting at a fairly young age. He has little respect for authority and does what he can, to survive. Though he's tried to hold down a steady and legitimate job, he's had very little luck. Lack of education prevents him from getting a decent job, and his quick temper has cost him more than a few lower level jobs. Currently in the market for some sort of work that can utilized his "skill set." (IE some kind of manual labor, or work that involves fighting and/or stealing. He's not picky) ...And by what actions will you become hated?Shane has a very quick temper. He is quick to jump to conclusions and assume the worst about people. Though he is friendly enough at first, he rarely takes the time to get to know others, or even care about them. His feelings for others--including his friends--are very superficial. In like manner, few people actually know him very well as he keeps everyone at a safe distance to ensure only the most shallow of interpersonal relationships. If you'd have fame, how would you have earned it...?Shane hasn't really done anything that is "great." He's good in a fight, and decent marksman (though he's more prone to picking up objects and bludgeoning people). He's fairly clever but usually in ways that involve figuring how not to get caught doing shady things. ... and which actions have caused your downfall?Shane has made a lot of mistakes. He's a thief and has had a few brushes with the law. He's insensitive, callous and selfish. In the end, what is your destiny?Jake has no real goals. He's sort of drifting through life snagging work where he can, just existing. His goal is, well, to not die. Which magic has touched you?Ahma/technomancer What part of that magic is your strength?Shane uses ahma to manipulate electricity. He has a pair of steel batons that he can conduct electricity through to deliver strong static shocks (on contact), generate electric fields that can interfere with other devices. What part of that magic is lacking?Anything overly precise, as well as maintaining contact or his electric fields for long period. His ability is more 'hit-and-run'--he also has low stamina when it comes to using Ahma, and tires out quickly. Which are your abilities or feats?N/A
