Identities is a RP about finding yourself. About young people coping with the realities of a world that would burden them with responsibilities beyond their capabilities, and the further burdens of holding power in such a world.

Identities happens in a world of magic and super heroes. Of monsters both man and beast. A world divided between insular kingdoms within greater empires. The tradition of magic is long lived, and you are only recently joining it.


You see…


Long ago, the basic structures of society that we take for granted did not exist. Humanity was isolated from itself, enclaves walled in able to eek out a living but little more; monsters in the lands between the walls were too great of a danger.

Then one thousand years ago, magic woke within humanity.

The first mage, a man named Merlin, swore fealty to his trusted friend Arthur, and together they established the first true kingdom, ruling over multiple walled cities successfully. The Kingdom of Avalon was the first of many, and easily the most successful of such kingdoms, growing over the next millennium to be the Empire of Avalon.

Now, petty kingdoms, walled city states, dot the countryside. Populations in them outnumber the wildest dreams of global population before magic. Metal arteries line the world, as vehicles chug along transporting goods and people. Even the marches between the cities have become safer- due to well funded paramilitary anti-monster patrols called CRIT.

And the twin legacies of humanity and magic, endure.



You are a student struggling to find yourself. Your weekdays are spent at a secondary education school in the Kingdom of Kuakilla, a cell within the greater Avalon Empire. Your life consists of homework, internet memes, and your shitty taste in music. Between classes and hating that school uniforms are a thing, you hang out with friends and talk about tonnes of unimportant bullshit- because that's what kids do. Not all of those you know are your age, the school covers from 11 to 19 year olds, but you mostly stick to people closer to your age. Older kids are jerks and younger ones are idiots.

You dream of maybe one day getting to become a mage like the Kuakillan Wardens, or like one of the hedgemagi, but that's unlikely. Magi are rare, about 1 in 50'000 people are a magi- a 0.002% chance of being one, and magi rarer still if you're not a legacy case.

You're not one, by the way.

But today, today will be different. Because it's the day that you're proven wrong. That you have your magic awaken. That you get your power. That your entire life changes forever.

But when you are risen above your peers, you are burdened with responsibilities, and as you struggled before to find yourself human, who are you really now that you're more? And in this world where magi live double lives, secret identities and false personas are the norm- to protect oneself, to protect one's family. If you can even find yourself, who will know the real you?

You uh actually didnt do your character sheet right after all, umm why no take a peek at the others that had been submitted and tweak it, and maybe fix the color of the text instead of highlighting it
 
Okay so, @KatherinWinter

I'm going to ask you to, as the primary GM, to redo your character sheet. You have included a lot of excessive and unnecessary formatting, and also entire sections within the history thing that don't need to be- you do not need to explain all of your choices. Furthermore, you also need to redo your mechanics themselves. Your Defining Moments and Masteries are to start at 0, and your points need to be distributed according to grouping within the normal sections. You also need to redo your magical utility style- you don't get to pick your power itself! I clarified this after a suggestion from another player. Thank you, @MischieviousCheshireX3

I have no idea what you mean. If there are sect ions that aren't necessary why are the on the sheet? I don't understand the mechanics. I just did the ones that fit the character. I can change it but at this rate I'm beginning to think this RP isn't worth the effort.
 
And if you are unsure about how to remove text formatting, just highlight the text with you're cursor, and click the first button. It should be before the undo button and it will set your text to the default settings that will make it readable on white and black backgrounds
 
And i do apologize if i come off brash or anything, i'm just trying to be informative and help you

I hope that you take no offense to this, and understand that I am just trying to be helpful, due to the fact that the Gm had laid out how she specifically wanted the character sheets to be set up so that they would be easier for her to read through

I would make changes but I have no idea what needs to change. I copied the sheet and filled it out to the best of my ability. I'll make changes if you can explain what needs to be changed.
 
Was this easier to understand? I will admit i had some trouble at first myself figuring things out, if you have any further questions then feel free to ask
 
Never mind. This is too complicated for me. A character sheet shouldn't be this complicated.
 
Trying again.

Well, first off, that was quite the post.

Secondly, @Zeph and @KatherinWinter

After review with the CO-GM your sheets were not accepted at this time. This does not mean you can't get into the RP but with where we just went in the IC I would put us at not accepting people until this current bit is over with at the very least.

Thirdly, A SPECIAL THANKS TO @Uyu and @MischieviousCheshireX3 for their help with the RP and

FOURTHLY, @MischieviousCheshireX3, @chaosheart13, @Arcadia, and @Sole

The post is up. You have your magic. Your post should begin with a brief run down of your powers IC if you want that mentioned- mostly just Miyako quickly trying to explain it and then direct you to the cafeteria because p r o b l e m s

AND THEN you can start trying to handle problems

but this RP is officially started

we in there

we do it

ye ye ye ye ye ye

SORRY THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND LAST NIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE IC POST but there were technical difficulties ;_;
 
Fine. I am done trying. I will move on to other things. I only resubmitted because I was asked to.
 
OKAY, so I've had a shit week. Some shit happened. A lot of it tbh. But I'm going to be good. Going to be better. Gonna be great.

Which means trying to pull this RP back off its bum and into gear.

Expect botherings and assistance and such.
