originally an idea for a fancomic, then I realized it would take to long.

The story is, a person from a different dimention comes across the world where Twokinds takes place. As it is part of what he likes to do, he decides to explore the place. the adventurer soon realizes that the technologies are rather below his people's, and he's gonna need someone to guide and educate him on the ways of the natives.

For my character...

Name: Samuel Severus Maximillion Rage
Nickname: Pyro
Age: 83 (His rage can live up to 400 years. He looks like he's almost an adult.
Race: Sylvarion Hedgehog- Anthropomorphic. Has an ability to turn himself into a human thanks to a watch that can manipulate his physical appearance to an extent.
Weapons: A double-edged buster gunsword. the gun is inside the sword. It is revealed by the two halves of the weapon separating. Pyro also has a pair of revolvers, unique in design. Breach-loading, .45 calibre.
Other abilities: God-like control over fire, and very weak telekinesis
(Side note; before you all start accusing me of God-Modding, he rarely ever uses those powers in a fight. He prefers to stick to his sword.)
Physical appearance: Human- 6 foot 3 inches tall, fairly muscular, deep red hair with blonde highlights that goes down to his mid-back, regularly wars a tan duster with a black skin tight longsleeve shirt with baggy black cargo pants and biker boots. As a Hedgie- all about the same, but his eyes are a bit bigger, and his hair is now quills, all deep red and mid- back in length, and from that to his shoulders, they're blonde in color.

Hows this?

It sounds like your character is a messed of combonation of a crapload of stuff. Appearance changing watch from X-Men: Evolution, double-edged buster gunblade: buster from FFVII and gunblade from FFVIII, hedgehog kinda thing from Sonic the Hedgehog, and ability for the sword to split from He-Man.

If you're new to RPing, it's fine, it's just that you should try to be more original. My character has stuff from Halo, FFVII, and an MMORPG called PristonTale. But the vast majority of my character's abilities are of my own creation.

Alright this says sign-up, but I see no RP to sign up for. If you don't make it what it is (A sign up sheet) within about 24 hours. I will lock this. What your post looks like is that it goes into the characters thread.

There is no RP to sign up for folks, at least it doesn't look like it. All this looks like is a person who wants a character evaluated.

If this is an RP to sign up for, please post the necessary things needed.

Character sheet. What we are signing up for. What type of RP this is. a small intro of what the plot may be.

If this isn't changed to an actual sign-up sheet, your post will be moved to the char. thread, and this will be locked/deleted.

Somehow, I knew this was a bad idea... I guess I wasn't very clear on some stuff. I figured that everyone else knew what kind of stuff to put.

Just a few notes, The watch was the best thing I could come up with, and the the sword is a bit different from what you seem to have in mind. I'm not the only one out there who's character has a buster sword, and as a bit of a correction, the sword stays in one peice. the two halves of the blade slide apart about 6 inches, showing the gun inside. It doesn't become two separate weapons.

Yes, I do admit to the fact that my Char. is a hedgehog. I come from a rather large spriting community, and lots of people have characters based off species from the Sonic games. I don't mean to bite everyone's heads off or anything, I just wanted to clear up a few things.

Sign up stuff;

Name:
Nickname(If Applicable):
Age:
Race:
Weapons(If Any):
Abilities(If Any):
Physical Appearance:

There, Will that work? Or should I post what kind of plot there is here instead of the RP?

No, this wasn't a bad idea, you just didn't really pull it off well. Want a few pointers, please PM me I'd be happy to share some advice to an up and coming game master.

Now then. Nice char. sheet, but again what type of RP is this. You need to give us of a small summary of where this is going. Is there a player cap? Such things like that.

I'm going to sticky this (sign-up sheet, that looks like one now.) And I'm going to delete the RP thread you made. You seem to be the only one who has a character actually made for this. So the RP can't really begin without other people.

Thanks for trying, and I encourage you to continue. Again, if unclear on anything, PM me, I'm more than happy to help.

I want in, I'll use my character from the characters thread, top of page 4, named Protan.

If you like, I can edit this post to include a copy of that character's specs.

EDIT: Okay, umm no-one responded to tell me whether or not I should copy my character over or not so... Well, here it is anyway.

Name: Protan
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Race: White Tiger Keidran
Fighting style: Templar

Weapon of Choice: Longsword

History: Little is known about this strange Keidran. What we do know is that a member of the Resistance stumbled across him at a young age. Oddly enough, this Keidran somehow displayed a gift with manipulating energy not much unlike the Grand Templar himself! Noting the creature's abilities the Templar should have killed him on the spot, yet he illegally trained him instead. Years after, the traitor was found and justly executed, unfortunately the blasphemy escaped after taking on several Templar at once. One was killed and two others were wounded. To this day his whereabouts are unknown. He obviously can't be as strong as the Great Templar, yet the traitor's notes stated he does have the potential. While we don't know the extent of his training, still treat him as a high threat, and attack with the backing of large numbers. Don't expect him to just dissapear either, we Templar live longer than normal humans, so we suspect he has recieved a similar effect, lengthening his lifespan to at least 60 years, just shy of a normal human. 70,000 peices to the man who brings him to justice, dead or alive.

Appearance: (Link to drawing: http://www.tomartstudios.com/forum/view ... =8173#8173 )
He wears a black jacket with a white sleeveless shirt underneath. He wears black pants and a special pair of leather boots with large sole inserts in order to accomidate his feet. He also has a traveling cloak with a large hood. The combination of the cloak and boots allows him to appear just human enough to pass through a town undetected.

I tried to use him in the RP chat room, but each of the RPs in there never last long enough...

to clear something up, what races are available and such? Because I'm not too sure, did you say this was in the Twokinds world? I think I'll wait for further info on this RP to see if I wanna join.

I've edited my character into a previous post (plus a couple updates ;) )

Just to help out, I'll recap RageTH's storyline into a format that can be a bit more recognizable.

RageTH's character (I believe it's his that did this) has crossed dimentions into the world of TwoKinds. He now has decided to explore this new world and get someone to help him find his way home... But soon he finds out that the people of this world know nothing of his technology; and have their own problems besides... Will he ever find a way home?

That's it in a nutshell (plus some embellishment and paraphrasing ;) )

Location: prison...er...school
Name: Neko
Race: Unknown
Age: unknown looks to be around 18 or 19

History: She was found alone and crying 25 years ago by a family with no children of their own. They took her in and noticed right away she wasn't normal and they tried to keep her hid from the world, telling her that normal people "just wouldn't understand". After living with them for 15 years she wondered off and nobody saw her except when she attacked the nearby villages. She has no memory of her past before she was found but she has a scar on her left side of her head right behind her ear to the base of her skull.

Personality: She distrust everyone because when she left her "parents" told her not to come back. She has always been quick tempered but she doesn't know why...she believes it has something to do with her past. She raids villages for food and shelter, but she never harms anyone. The only time she ever hurt someone she vowed to stay with him and do his bidding until he felt she had repayed her debt...she stayed with him for 5 years until he told her to leave because he had commited a crime and he did not want her to get in trouble because of him...that was also the only man she had ever loved. After leaving him she became a recluse, living in a cave and only coming out when she needed to.

Abilities: She has the ability to call wild cats and feral Keidren to her at will. She also has the ability to summon fire spirits and is resistant to fire. She has her natural rudimentary skills to fight using her claws and teeth, this what she uses the most since using magic drains her energy faster. She has a keen sense of sight and smell, and can see very well in the darkness giving her an advantage against most enemies.

Weakness: Her biggest weakness is water. She tries to avoid all beings with water magic. She is also weakened by her love of nature, she tries to avoid all fights that may harm her natural surroundings.

Physical Appearance: Tall<6'0> looks mainly like normal girl except she has sharp teeth, claws, cat ears, and a tail

Is this adequte?

EDIT: it was supposed to be feral kiedren I messed up but if you still thjink it is too much just say so!

Yeah, it's alright... But the Keidran calling thing may cause a problem or two when playing with someone who is a Keidran (ie Me).

I know my character wouldn't appreciate being at your character's "beck and call". But if the characters got to know each other better... maybe then she'd get better results. ;)

All in all, Keidran summoning? A little much...

EDIT: Ah, Feral Keidran... much better.

What more information do you need? Of course, I'm not RageTH, but if you stated exactly what you want to know, maybe he'll give a faster response. You're not gonna get what you want unless you ask specifically for it.

Besides, I want this to start ASAP!

Looks like someone is a little new to this 'RP' thing...

Look you do need more info... Alot more info. Like a setup to what the story will follow. I'd also change the character sheet set-up to include job classes and such, so people can't potentially use thier 'god' characters. (I call the ones that people made here that because... They are in a senes, no true weakness. Checks if they do die. As well as significantly overpowered. Don't even argue about the one I made, he has only one power. He's weakened physically, and wasn't made to fight.)

This limits it so the GM can have more control over the people playing his scenario. I'd like to advise against people using thier own made characters without limits, there tends to be a nice unbalanced thing.

But again, more info needed.

Where it takes place? What era? Any races we need to be aware of? How are the politics of it (if that effects the world)?

Having a character ready is nice, but wouldn't you like to know a little about the world your RPing in?

Y' know, this seems like it was a request for an RP, not a start of a new one. Like he actually had no intention of DM-ing it at all. Otherwise he'd have more info available, rather than what looks like his entrance into said RP would be. Its just his characters backstory, nothing more...

ChronoUnleashed, I request a one day deadline for him to respond and say otherwise.

If he doesn't... :( Lock it...

One last-ditch option left to save this RP: Someone comes forward and offers to DM in his place before the deadline occurs.

Man, this sucks...

And I probably sound like such a jerk, too...
