The year is 3010, a futuristic age of technological advances beyond one's imagination. Everything is electronic; cars, houses, etc. Welcome to Ksaria, the city you live in. It is one of the greatest in the world. A beautiful, well-equipped city, it remains isolated from the rest of the world by oceans and makes very little attempt to connect with them through air travel.
Life in Ksaria, in the last few months however, has taken a drastic turn. Two months ago, the Head of State was assassinated. His assassination led to a spiral of events that are being investigated for intrigue while the current government suffers from corruption and the people's rebellion. As a result, there is total chaos in the state.
Murray Dash, the previous secretary of state, has now declared a state of emergency and taken the position of Dictator, ultimate ruler. He submits a televised statement throughout Ksarian television that he is now the Supreme Ruler, instating new laws into Ksaria's constitution. Only the Rich will be spared. All others will be obliterated.
In fear for their lives, official representatives of the people of Ksaria are battling out their differences, secretly planning against one another to become members of the Supreme Council, a select few to be established within the next week.
Dash prepares to send out Official Death Notices, you could choose the way that you wanted to die, but you had to die. Unless you could pay the millions of dollars required to live in New Ksaria, you were sentenced to die within the next two months. "Those without money deserve to die," he was saying o live broadcasts, "They don't have money because they've never worked hard."
The first death. A twenty-seven year-old mother and her seven year old daughter. They chose to die through poisoning. On the night of their execution, something strange occurred. The daughter cried and cried, "Please let my mother live! Please don't kill us!" Even after the mother drank her poison, she did not die. A white light encompassed the room and the government enforcers were burnt to dust, leaving no trace of any of them or the poison. Mother and daughter survived. The mother found, tightly enclosed, in her daughter's hands, a ring and a small piece of paper which read, Wishmaker.
Afraid for their lives, the woman took her daughter and moved into the slums on the outskirts of Ksaria hoping to evade the government's enforcers for some time until she could receive enough loans to pay off Dash's sentence. In her hurry to move, she left the ring in their old apartment, where it was found by someone else, whom it was destined for.
Possibly a heirloom from another dimension, the wishing ring allows you to make one wish, on the condition that you make another's wish come true. Someone with the ability to do so is then called a Wishmaker. Once a wish is made, the Wishmaker is bound to certain conditions (listed below).Unbeknownst to the woman, her daughter was too young to properly understand the conditions of the wishring which fell into her possession. If you cannot carry out the duties of a wishmaker, the price you pay is your own life. A few days later, the woman was seen burying her daughter in Ksaria's common graveyards and committing suicide above the grave. These were the first deaths recorded in the news. More sentences were being sent out to others in the lower-class areas of Ksaria.
The new owner of the wishring, however, had other plans. With the ring's powers, he believed they could start a rebellion. Assigning wishes based on the people's outcry, they could work together to hold onto what was they loved; their city, their families. While the wishring and the wishmakers are capable of rebelling against Murray Dash and changing Ksaria's dark fate, they could also fail and cause the loss of innocent lives.
After all, not every wish is for the well being of someone else. Humans are a selfish being.
Wishmaker GuidelinesThe first wishmakers will be assigned randomly! If you would like to be one, please send me a PM! Once the roleplay starts, wishmakers can only be assigned through wishring passage!
Once you make a wish, you are bound to these conditions with your life.
- You must continue to grant other people's wishes until your wish can be granted. These are called wish-burdens. Once your wish is granted, the ring will indicate how many wish-burdens you must grant to complete your duty as a Wishmaker. (The extent of your wish = the number of wishes you must grant)
- You cannot inform anyone that you are a wishmaker. (You cannot just ask them for their wish, either. You must be able to understand the person's inner dreams and grant something they have sincerely wanted)
- You must designate at least one other wishmaker (The ring will duplicate on contact and a new wishmaker will be assigned. )
- You cannot die before you have fulfilled the wish-burdens (If you die, in your last moments, someone else can take the responsibility of completing your wish-burdens, but without being able to make a wish of their own; i.e at the cost of your wish, they complete your duty)
- Though it happens rarely, you must grant the wishring's wish. (It sometimes has a wish of it's own, a different wish for different people, it will be assigned to you if it applies. If you have not been assigned one, you can request one from the GM.)
Each Wishmaker will have a special stat point called the "Lucky Points"
Here are the ways you can gain points:
- One point for each new player you encounter via roleplay
- One point for each wish-burden completed
- Two points for each wishring wish you grant
- One point for each plot-moving action
- Two points for a plot idea submitted via PM
- To complete a wish-burden using Lucky points (It will use up your 5 lucky points and a random 'lucky' occurrence in the roleplay will relieve you of a wish-burden)
- To pass on a certain wish-burden/wishring wish (If you feel that one of the wishes is impossible for you to accomplish, you can pass on it and receive a new one. In a random occurrence, the wishring will change it's wish-burden for you)
- Elastic option for those creative players. You can tell the GM what you want to do with your five Lucky points! Remember that these points must tie into some kind of "lucky" occurrence in the roleplay plot :)
There's total freedom on what kind of character you want to play! Here are so examples in case you're stuck!
- Poor or Middle class citizen facing the death sentence
- Politician attempting to bribe Murray to spare your life
- Head of Council attempting to back-stab Murray to take control for himself
- Rebel against Murray's sentences
- One of Murray's enforcement officers (death enforcers)
- Dash Murray
- The first Wishmaker (finds the child's ring in the abandoned home)
- Rebellion Leader - Offense Division
- Rebellion Leader - Defense Division
