As long as the plot's good I'm in. That says nothing useful though... so I'll say: sci-fi, fantasy, I'm curious enough about horror to add it, aaaand action? yeah, ok, sure, action!

  • 6d720e6e878a7dede819239d2c61eb87--environment-concept-environment-design.jpg

  • The time of the clans has long passed. All that remains is the single clan that encompasses what remains of a once thriving era. Entire clan names have diluted down to mere bloodlines. A history of slowly disappearing groups of people.

    While clans were once marked by their abilities, it is now only rarely seen within the bloodlines. Only a handful can boast of their awakened abilities, and do it well within Village grounds. There are so few of them that they, by default, form part of and train for the village Guard.

    In the current era, the Clan Village is home to the bloodlines. To the outside world it is a relic, resistant to change nay incapable of it. It resists technology by nature. A tourist might find their devices glitching as they approach the territory and nonfunctioning at all once they stand at the entrance. A Village native might travel to a city and find the arcade machine suddenly out of order after playing a quick game. The Village may not have changed as much as the outside world over the centuries, but it has been influenced and shaped by it to some extent.

    As wars settled and peacekeeping agreements were made, Government and Clan currently hold an accord that allows clansmen permits to leave the village and live in modern societies. Certain conditions must be met - monthly checkups, record keeping etc. - that nowadays are mere paperwork, however they were once based on the danger of having a clansmen with supernatural powers living in peaceful cities. Another condition, though more sensible presently than the last, is to have clansmen living a distance away from each other when outside the village. The purpose is to avoid as much technological disruptions as possible.

    In recent years however, there have been rumors through the grapevine of a group of individuals actively opposing this agreement through secret but violent means. By some unknown method, they have been forcing awake abilities among the clansmen. Already people watch the news with fear that the next victim might appear in their area, that they too might lose control and hurt those around them. Already people fear that clanswoman neighbor with whom they used to be so friendly.

    Tension rises, the Government sense the danger and the Clan feels the threat. In response the Clan has called back every clansmen outside the Village. Clan leaders want to control the situation by quarantine, facilitating their efforts to find out who is responsible for these attacks. People within the Village too are afraid, they do not know how abilities are being forced and therefore have no idea how to prevent themselves from falling victim. Rumors comfort some, letting them know trial and error follows success as the culprit group continue their mysterious plans.
  • Guidelines
    - Be proactive but reasonable.
    - Two active characters maximum per player.
    - No one liners and no fluff writing.
    - Iwaku rules apply.

    Key Points:
    - All characters will already know each other since they all grew up in the village, doesn't matter if they left it or not. (The point is to skip introductions and get to the plot)
    - Plan or establish character connections beforehand. Character Sheet will also have a section to help you do a general version of this.
    - If you want your character to be part of the revolutionary group, PM me.
    - If you want your character to already have their bloodline ability PM me. Keep in mind, they'll be living in the village and training or part of the village patrol.
    - Characters will be NPCed and their fate will be decided upon by GM unless player expresses their wishes before leaving the RP.

Character Info

Name: Akira [Wolf]
Age: 25
Personality:
- Stubborn
- Impulsive
- Confident
- Caring
- Perceptive


Background:
- He did not grow up in the village, his father a member of the Nakano clan left at a young age. Once a year Akira's father would visit. Often times Akira was with him.

- In spite of Akira being away from the village, his father was very strict on the teachings of his clan proper. Training was harsh.

- Akira's relationship with his mother on the other hand has always been loving. His mother had always been a very ill individual though, leading to Akira often times caring for her.

- At the age of 14 his father left with no good-bye.

- Time passed, Akira's mother worsened in condition. In spite of the clan and government's financial help, life was still tough. While attending high school, Akira was permitted to have a part time job to help cover costs.

- Hitting the age of 17, Akira got involved with dangerous individuals, leading to a underground handling of weapons and drugs. Though not directly involved with the handling of drugs, Akira was brought on as hired muscle to ensure packages reached their destination. During this time he undertook the moniker of Wolf.

- Mention of his own heritage and his father is met with disdain from Akira, part of the reason why he refers to himself as Wolf now a days.

- Once the recall was put into place, initially Akira was reluctant to go, but with mother in mind he thought it'd be best for her.

Character Info Name: Lionel “Leo”
Age: 24
Personality:
  • Tends to space out.

  • Quiet (well, a hunter needs to be after all)

  • Finds it much easier to hit living things rather than targets with his arrows.

  • Thoroughly enjoys camping out.

  • More interested in nature than people. (mostly)
~~~~~~~
Village Background:
  • Though he was a fairly friendly child, he was never really into socializing very much.
  • As he grew up, he began spending less and less time in the village. He was normally out somewhere in the woods hunting or just relaxing. Nowadays you can usually find him either doing those things, or practicing at the Silvain archery range, which is really just a bunch of targets placed in concealed spots in a patch of forest outside the village.
  • Lionel has been known to hunt more than his family can really deal with at once, so quite a few other families have been gifted with his kills from time to time.
  • He never officially left the village, though he doesn't spend too much time inside either.
~~~~~~~
Bloodline Info
Family Name:
Silvain
Family Mark: A tattoo on his arm. Though the design is consistent within the bloodline, size is not. Some Silvain clansmen have theirs all the way from shoulder to hand, while Lionel has an eight inch long one running up his forearm. [spoili]

[/spoili]

Ability on Record: Wind manipulation. The Silvain clan was one of fierce hunters, each able to call upon the wind for help. It is said that they could hit impossible marks, and that some of their arrows were nigh invisible from the speed at which they flew.

Ability Status: Dormant

Diceroll for awakened abilities has been done. Any newcomers will get a diceroll and be injected into the list. For the time being, the most current diceroll is available in the Extra Information Tab.
 
Also, I'm adding a Bloodlines sub-tab to the Character tab in case you'd like a quick reminder of who belongs where. It's a work in progress but I should get it done this weekend.

    Progressive
    Self-centered
    Insincere
    Hypocritical

    Village Background:
    • Jay was initially terrified to leave the village and was resistant to it. He took the rite when he was 14 after some pushing from others and began schooling outside the village... He quickly took to life on the outside and became a bit of a family shame.
    • Jay was always a bit of a mean kid, but not necessarily intentionally. He just doesn't stop to think about others first most of the time.
    • He's a bit of a snobbish asshole and tends to change his tune depending upon who is around and the general reception in a room. He's overly concerned with how others look at him.

    Village Background:

    • She never really had much desire to leave the village, except to perhaps see what it was like elsewhere. Open to new ideas, she eventually out about a year ago. When the call to come back to the village came, she was actually rather thankful and happy to return home.
    • She always took on more than she could chew when people asked things of her. She frequently gets overwhelmed, but struggles to say no and pushes herself to do her best.
    • Her head was frequently up in the clouds and it always left her distracted. She's a bit of a daydreamer and even if she hates it from herself, she easily gets bored if people talk too long.
    • She was always more of a tomboy and of all the things from the outside world, being able to embrace that and be accepted was the one thing she misses.

i'm now back and active again. sorry for not being relatively online. but man i must have missed many things...
 
No problem just jump in whenever you can!
 
After a very long hiatus, this RP will be continuing. However, given the loss of some members, some changes have been made to the plot though they will be mostly affecting the future of the story rather than anything that has happened before. For those of you only just finding this small roleplay, you have not missed much and this restart will be a good opportunity for you to jump in if you so wish it.

In the next few days, small updates will be made to the plot mainly to do with the change from "good vs bad" to a more ambiguous struggle between two sides.

Additionally, a GM post will be made in the IC to not only initiate the restart, but also to explain the present state of affairs and the setting. In other words, you don't need to read any previous posts made in the IC to be able to participate. All you will need is to read the basic plot in the OOC and the incoming GM post in the IC.

If you have any questions feel free to post here or PM me.


This was stated in the very first post ooc, but I will state it again: All characters that join in will continue to be in play unless the player explicitly tells me they want their character out or they themselves kill off their character. Otherwise, any character will become an NPC in the story and the GM, with player input, will decide the character's fate.

Because of this, characters from before the hiatus will be part of the story as NPCs as we move forward. If you left this RP and would like to NOT have your characters NPCed, please PM me so that we can rework our plans for the immediate continuation of the story.

Thank you!

P.S. If you read all of that, omg come and join us! I didn't scare you away with a wall of text 8D
 
"In the next few days" LMAO!! What a fool I was!

*Ahem* a month later more like D:
I didn't lie about the edits though, those did happen (minuscule as they were). IC post coming up this weekend.
