This is a RP whereas you've died, horribly and slowly, and due to your so-called 'wishes', the world around you was completely rebuilt to what you wished it to be. However, something seems to have gone wrong in the process, causing quite a large ball of confusion to swell within your throbbing head.
The aim is to find out where you are exactly, and to find anyone who knows anything about what has happened. There's a gut feeling which suggests you'll be journeying for a long while...
CS will be basic, this is for both your and my pleasure. Allow us to step into an unknown world with a largely unknown character, aside from say, appearance and age. My characters will be the ones you're interacting with, there can be anywhere from one PC and several NPCs to the inverse and everything in between. Let's work it out as we go. For the beginning however, you'll be largely alone, hence the first reply of yours may have to be lengthy. I'll provide information as to where the nearest towns and the like are, and perhaps I could set up some interesting scenarios. Watch this space...
CS
Name;
Age;
Gender;
Height;
Nationality; (this is based on Earthen nationalities; you were once a resident there, at least for this RP. Feel free to pick whatever you like.)
Accent; (this either goes with the above field or it can just be some random stuff, I don't really mind.)
Appearance: (either in a textual format, a picture, or preferably, both. This will help speed things along, as you can simply try to simplify your character's appearance description within your first reply to the IC thread, when it's created of course.)
No rules other than well, common sense and decency, and communicating any problems you may have with either the initial post or anything at all, including myself. Always obey Iwaku's rules, too, but you knew that already.
Most of all, do have fun. With the writing, thinking about what to write, or even just reading this stuff over, it's a pleasure to be able to impact someone--in small and big ways--who isn't physically next to me. It's such a honour, I promise.
Also, to make sure you read this, all of this hopefully, press enter twice in whatever reply you may come up with and put the words "I am awesome" there. I've seen this used around the place and it's honestly a good system.
***IMPORTANT***
The rough picture of the world and the description of the areas and places will be edited into this initial post. Unfortunately I do not have enough wifi to post even a mere drawing at this point in time. I also haven't done the descriptions yet but there you go! Have some anticipation, reader.
***SECOND IMPORTANT***
The initial story is, well, forced upon you. I'm sorry, but I feel this is the way to begin proceedings. It'll be under a spoiler bb code thing as the first reply to this thread. Thanks for understanding.
Add "I am awesome [2]" to the end of your reply, reading check, once again. :P
***THE FOLLOWING IS A WIP; PURELY TO MAKE SURE THE SPOILER TABS WORK***

***THE FOLLOWING IS A WIP; PURELY TO MAKE SURE THE SPOILER TABS WORK***
Xenervia, the Continent of Ages
Age: 23,261,274
Population: 138,993,274
Description: A continent which covers millions of square miles, it is a place where life seems to prosper. Sometime during its history, the lands became awfully barren, to the point where all life had become extinct. Luckily, those on another continent travelled there to repopulate the lands, wishing to make sure that it's vast landscapes were seen and lived within by the people. There are many areas which make up Xenervia, the most major one being the desert to the east. Here lays many ruins, carved into the sands as if timeless capsules to entice those within the present day. The village of K'velajej is the main settlement, with three 'sister' settlements dotted north along the eastern coastline, which is a vital point for trading. Despite the lack of ports, the eastern coastline is alive with people wishing to trade materials and goods for the exotic foods which grow within the desert to the wonderful art produced by the K'velajej people.
Within the centre there lies the lake, an oasis which kisses the desert, the Central Forest and even some of the usually barren landscape leading toward the Luxurious City of Efuscha. This lake is said to hold spirits of the ancients, and a small tomb is said to reside beneath the waters which are drinkable. Regardless, none had the technology to press on at the moment, and the tomb would only be seen from above.
The Central Forest makes up most of central Xenervia, filled with exotic fauna and flora to keep the trained eye entertained. There is, however, a scarce tribe that lives within the northern parts of the forest who are known for cannibalism and murder, and as such, are generally avoided unless one does not know of their legend. It is said that they gain the strength of those they eat, and that they're beyond human. A plausible case, if any.
Toward the south lies the Great City of Loric, the most modern city in the current time. It is home to a range of assorted flavours, a city which prides itself on it's cooking and it's presentation. Said to look at least fifteen years into the future than other human settlements, Loric was named after a great musician whose voice was more divine than those of the angels.
North leads one to Efuscha, the gambling capital of Xenervia. Many criminals and cutthroats can be found here, but it is likely that one would find a nice guy every once in a while thanks to the fifty eight million population. Nonetheless, it is a walled city which has three entrances, one which leads south to the Central Forest, one which leads east toward the northeastern part of the continent, and one which leads west which ends at the beginning of a frozen, underground forest, the only way to traverse toward the northwestern city of Pierette.
In the southwest lies two towns, one which is the Simple Town of Yuurtsdale, a town which prides itself on tradition and farming, and the other known as Ijsha, only accessible by going under the mountain caves or by taking a ship towards the most dangerous ocean in the world.
In the southeast lies the fishing village of Horra, a tiny settlement which can be accessed by foot, only if one is prepared to travel for days across shallows. This settlement is home to the rarest metal in Xenervia, Ultium, and they hoard it keenly as their walls would suggest.

Pink - South - The Great City of Loric
Age: 317
Population: 34,985,222
Main culture: The main culture within the Great City is something along the lines of advancement through culinary excellence. Loric was once the home of a great nomadic hero, whose cooking was said to be far beyond his skill with a blade and bow. Cooking was his passion, and it was on that which built the Great City as it stands today, a literal monument within the starkly barren lands which it rests.
Description: Loric is the largest city in the world in terms of size, but it does not hold the most people in a single city, even though it would take a good day or so to walk from north to south of it's perimeter. It seems fairly ahead of the current time, which can be related to that of the 19th century on Earth. The Great City was the only city to use the roads with automobiles, which every other city and town aside from Efuscha to the north declined against using. Loric is also home to currency, whereas trading doesn't seem to exist unless it is refunded into Lorican currency.
Wildlife: Loric is home to some unique wildlife in the way that it also holds one of the only sewer systems in the world. These lifeforms are most common near the ends of the drains, and in the worst case scenario, within the large waterways which are flushed everyday into the ocean. The wildlife isn't exactly harmful, but they do tend to be of the slime variety, sometimes enveloping people unknowingly; as they lack any form of conscience.
My character:
Saranda
Age: 950 years
Race: Undine
Having lived within the same pond for a majority of her life, Saranda was said to be the one who would only come out at night and perform spectacular feats which were deemed sorcery. She was cast into a small urn, with only enough water to survive at the bare minimum.
The urn was passed down over many decades, until one day she found herself within a lake, said to be filled with the Fae, who blessed her with the ability to think beyond that of a normal water elemental. Now with some form of intelligence, the Undine was able to form a body which looked identical to a human's, though it weighed significantly more and would often ruin clothing which was essential to surviving within human society. Many years would pass, though never did she interact - always being far too shy to do so, in fear of being cast into a small urn again.
She was able to get around this by wearing a swimsuit which would prevent her water from dampening the clothing. The suit, while very good for her clothing situation, was seen as odd by those who had ever sighted her. Often, she would slink within the shadows and become a bundle of clothes, managing to not be seen for more than a century.
In this day and age, she could be any odd pile of clothes and puddle of water anywhere. There is no limit as to how small or how large she could be. All that was known is, her extremely fair complexion was a dead giveaway as to what she was.
Saranda now resides within Loric, as the only wildlife capable of being called 'tame'. She disregards this, having learned to speak, write and effectively communicate with the human race she used to fear utterly.
-----
Height: Varies, can be as short as a small puddle or as large as a tidal wave, the latter requiring a larger source of water to actually manifest. In a more human disguise, Saranda stands at roughly 5'9.
Weight: Also varies, can weigh next to nothing or can be heavy enough to crush many things, the latter requiring water and a way to condense it. In a more human disguise, Saranda weighs roughly 180lbs.
-----
Weapons: Herself*, Adept at using rocks and stones, either thrown or used in melee.
Attire: Saranda wears a swimsuit under all of her clothing to prevent it from dampening, though it can still occur. She usually wears longer clothing, though it is down to the season and weather which determines what she wears. She'd prefer not to wear anything.
*Saranda can also envelope a target, much like a slime would, though she would not consume them. They'd most likely suffocate or be crushed.

Yellow - West - The Simple Town of Yuurtsdale
Age: 778
Population: 12,437
Main culture: One of the major farming communities in the world, Yuurtsdale is said to be the hardest, toughest place to live, especially since even the plants must rest upon infertile soil. They were modified to allow them to get any and all nutrients they needed from the sun itself, a remarkable feat in science though it does hamper the taste of the crop quite a lot, resulting in the need for many flavour enhancements which are shipped from Loric.
Description: Yuurtsdale is the smallest community on the western side of the continent, though they are among some of the toughest people out there. It can be said thatt they work around the clock to get the job done, whereas the crops grow fast enough to be ready to pick in three weeks, an astonishing timeframe which is monitored by the owner of the town, Grenelda Nagi. He is the only person who can do the entire farming process by himself, and it is said that he is over one hundred years old. He has a daughter, Anna, who takes after him quite a bit, up until the point of her physical appearance. Looking almost identical to her mother, Anna was the most sought after girl in the town. Regardless, any and all visitors were required to work to be able to stay within the town inn, and they'd usually be around for one whole crop cycle.
Wildlife: The wildlife consists of great cats and giant dogs which tend to attack often, but since the invention of the air rifle, many of the once frightening beasts were culled simply to allow the farmlands to expand and grow into a large trading business.
My character:
Anna Nagi
Age: 17
Height: 5'7
Weight: 105lbs
Hair colour: Auburn
Eye colour: Blue
Anna is the daughter of the major, Grenelda, and is one of the most sought after girls in the entire town. She holds an air which seems unfitting to a girl who seems to act like the average girl within the town. Her manners and etiquette seem second to none, and it can be said that she likes to have a drink. All in all, Anna is a woman who, despite her age, could be the neew mayor if her father dies.
She is able to use the air rifles with surprising accuracy, being the one to teach newcomers on how to use the weapon incase the wildlife rears its back on those unfortunate.
