Castles in the Sky - Ian Van Dahl

Has anyone else ever been visited by an unknown, but very unfriendly entity?

-Whistles- This brings back memories... It's been some time since I have had one, but yes.. I would have very... very horror type dreams where such entities would perform very rated R and above tasks to other people or myself (to spare such details ^^; I do not feeling like going into details here in the threads, thanks.)

Though through dream interpretations, I believe it was more a situational thing than being encountered... so yes and no in it's own way to your question. As many said before me, it's a possibility you are being visited in your dreams, but it also possible it is something you want to happen - it you have latent control. Who's to say what the subconscious wants us to know or do?

Just a fast welcome. No need to repeat what has all ready been said by other members. X3

I guess I have a different opinion considering I played the games and read the comics...

I've always hated the two being separate stories, but at the same time I loved it because it gave different view points to how things unfolded. But after Sonic Adventure 1 came out, they started to bleed those characters into the comics, and much as Nocturne said, nothing is making any sense anymore with all these characters.

I can't say any of the news games have intrigued me - in fact I gave up playing when the Wii released and that whole... what was it called? Ring of something another? I still refuse to play Shadow the Hedgehog - I mean, really, it's not hard to picture Shadow with a gun - any idiot could use one, but watermelons?! >_<

but yea...slowly, I'm giving up on the sonic games until something gives me hope to the slowly spiraling downhill game...

Watermelons? The game has none. However there were jokes about how Shadow is the "Black" Sonic and how he would collect "bling" and "watermelons" (in order to fit with racist stereotypes). These are not to be taken seriously however!

I just know what I've heard. Either way, I've been skeptical about it since it came out. But thank you for clearing that up for me. @@'

^^ Sounds like something straight out of 4chan lol

You lost the game. >> << -skitters-

Profiles
Owner: Dark Messiah

Name and Statuses:
Name: Raj
Race: Maren
Rank: None
DOB: Unknown, Estimated sometime before NiD storyline.
Job: No real job than his own. Often used for spying purposes.

Appearance:
Weight: Estimated around 80 pounds.
Height: 6'2"
Eyes & Hair: Eyes are an eerily glowing blue: Hair strands appear to be a white, light blue in hue.
Skin: Majority is solid white, the stripes over his eyes are dark blue, with black additional streaks over his eyes.
Clothing At the head, a long finned jester's hat - black in hue with dark blue streaks along the form. He is seen wearing a billowing, tattered cloak that covers the rest of his body and blends perfectly into shadows. What he looks like under, no one has seen.
Photo Image: Raj (Yes I drew this >>)

Weapons:
Shadow Whip: A whip he can manipulate with his shadow powers - but is still skilled with it on his own without the magic.

Abilities
Stealth: If there is just a foot of shadow, Raj can disappear into it. Rarely can he be detected except those who know what to look for - or those who know his tricks.
Shadow Manipulation: SO long as he's within a shadow, he can manipulate them into physical manifestations - to equal size of the shadow he is in. (Darker it is, the more powerful he is) This includes moving through them.
Ideya Drain: Much like any Maren, he can tap into the Ideya of dreamers. Prefers the wisdom Ideya, thinking it tastes sweeter than any other.

Personality:
Attitude: Raj naturally has a general distaste for many things, but is willing to leave an open ear to just about anything. Being well educated in everything in their world is a smart move, so he believes. He tries to keep a neutral stance on everything, and is willing to lend his talents out for many purposes - so long as a price can be arranged.
Dislikes: Being forced to do things, getting tricked into doing something he feels should cost more than what he agreed to. Lots of sunlight.
Likes: Contemplating, watching others.
Weaknesses: Sunlight - the less shadows there are, the weaker his powers are; and he hates feeling weak. A minor addiction to Wisdom Ideya.
Strengths: His power's height in darkness. His spying prowess and memory in keeping everything he learned cataloged.

History: Raj has been around for quite some time. Many rumors flow around this being about exactly who he is and what he does. One thing everyone knows is fact: He'll do just about anything for a price...

Disclaimer: ....mmm....Yeah. No disclaimer to think of.

Hah, thanks. >3

Aaaand we're open! Yay!

Quick link for you all. I'm so sweet. >>'

"Attero somnium, servo ago, is totus opes nusquam in terminus..."

It happened suddenly, too quickly for any being (be they human or Maren) to comprehend. The three worlds: Waking, of Dreams, and of Nightmares, were suddenly drawn together over night to create one new world. How this came to be no one knows, but chaos is wrecking as Marens haunt beings, and humans naturally adjusting to the fact their own dreams are alive before them in this twisted fairy tale of life.

However, beings adjust and evolve to fit their current life styles - it is the natural order of things. Though is has only been a month since The Great Fusion, people are still adjusting to the new changes.

What is your role in this new life? Are you a helping hand? A neutral to your own business? A back stabber? Are you enjoying this new world or seeking to change it back to it's origins by discovering what has managed to happen behind the scenes?

Updates:

• 22-September:
• Roleplay Thread Created in Nightmare Section.
• Accepting Characters.

• 06-September:
• Introduction completed.
• Rules Completed.
• Character Skeleton Added.
• Accepting Characters.

Rules:
Every place has it's rules. (Sorry so long)

• Cannon Characters: There will be NONE! No NiGHTS, Reala, Wiseman - Nadda! Lets see some creativity here, please. If your character is tied to a Cannon Character, we will discuss something - but preferably, no.
• Accepted Races: Any. You can be Human, Maren, whatever. Feel free to make up a special race in this new world - but if you do this, I would like a little detail on the race that way f someone's bored enough, someone could play another one.
• No GodModing: For those not used to this term: You are not God. You cannot constantly dodge bullets, never take hits, all powerful, blah blah blah. First offense is fine, but I will lay down the all mighty hammer if it comes down to it. I will be giving everyone the benefit of the doubt with their character's powers, if they have any...
• No PowerPlaying: For those not used to this term:You cannot control other people. So please don't...
• Do NOT use OOC to IC! Those who do not know what this means - if you could not figure it out as your character in the roleplay, then you do not know it! Just because it says so in the profile does not mean it may be obvious!
• Be Considerate: I want everyone to enjoy themselves; if someone is causing problems, tell them in PM or tell me and allow me to handle the situation. I will be keeping an eye out, but I may need the assistance.
• Only 2 Characters Allowed for Each Person! I do not want to see a fully flooded area of characters that are not getting played; so I am restricting it to just two for now. If you are demonstrating capabilities of handling more, I will let you know. For everyone's benefit - figure out a creative way to show the difference between both of your character's posts. Two separate colors works most often. (This does not include NPCs. Have as many of those as you want).
• Be Semi-Literate: I am no Grammar-Nazi. In fact I will be the first to admit I fail at the English language (it's my birth language too, go figure). As such, so long as you are making an effort to be descriptive, trying to make your misspellings make sense to the best of your abilities, and your grammar and punctuation make some sense, I will not complain. However, I will not accept net speak, 1337, or anything there of.
• Paragraph and third person: Try and roleplay in the third person, and I expect - with this being semi-literate and all - to have a minimum of a paragraph post for each post. I understand writer's block, because it happens, but I will say something if it becomes a habit of making one liners.
• You are APART of this! I intend to make this a very long term roleplay - so only join if you are serious. Also, feel free to be creative and create things in this world. I am not against it - I love it when the players take initiative. I am leaving a lot vague - giving you all a blank canvas.
• I reserve the right: to make changes to the rules or add as I see fit.

The World:

As it says in the introduction, no one knows what has happened in the world - but something of dark magic has fused all three of the worlds together - and now cities bleed into demonic or fantasy settings. Sky scrapers shift from normal foundations up into spiraling dark metal that easily could fit a old timed horror movie; or the local river shifts into lavender waters with flying fish, glitter in the air, and living trees. It is a true blend of the worlds.

The legends of NiGHTS, Reala, and those involved have been gone for some time - no one knowing where they went or what really happened to them - easily estimated around a thousand years. It has been a month since the fusing - what will you do?

The Addiction! All dream creatures - good and evil alike, are becoming more and more drawn to the very energies most have been created by. The Ideya's are like a drug in the hands of everyone - how it influences you, I will allow you to decide. Keep in mind it is only a small addiction for the moment - but as time goes on, these addictions will get worse and worse. Can you fight it? It's your character, but again, as time goes on.... That's right - by draining an Ideya, you're taking away a part of a human. (Oh Snap, what'll happen here?)

[--Note--: As Posts are added and major places made up, I will add them here - so feel free to be creative!]

Here are my Characters.

Username: Dark Messiah
Name: Marissa Na'tris
Race: Human
Age: 21
Ideya Addiction: No Addiction.
Likes: Doing her own thing, forging her own path, helping others.
Dislikes: People who do not agree with her, bullies.
Powers: None.
Abilities: Uncanny knack for always being right - or determined enough to be right in the end.
Strengths: Strategic, Open minded
Weaknesses: Ego, Opinionated, Often forgets other people can think without her.
Brief History: Marissa grew up in downtown New York, US of A. Introduced into the life of art, she found herself striving to prove her worth to her fashion model mother and her graphic designer father. As such, she tended to lash out in the wrong ways; but somehow her bat-logic ways worked out in the end. She attended the local college at her own request - and as a senior in college - her classes were abruptly called to a halt when she woke up in the morning to find most of the city fused like something from either Disneyland or Tim Burton's best work.
Appearance: Platinum hair, often used as just the blank canvas - as she sprays hair dye in her hair that washes out - making little designs in her hair with swirls or stars: Whatever fits her clothing. Her style is wild, and she loves it that way.


Whatcha guys think?

Awesome. Approved; a bit vague but that's fine. Will make it much more interesting in the roleplay -nods-

Should I wait for more people to join or just start it up and allow people to join as they see fit? Decisions...

Until I say otherwise, we're pretty much going to be accepting people until....whenever. -giggles-

Anyways, I'll probably be starting the thread up here in the next day or so in the Nightmare realm. Those who're accepted can begin posting then, naturally. Open accepting for the most part, anyone can join in at any time, really.

Well obviously you're concerned about it. And I know, I read the beginnings of that conversation in her Ad thread. If you want me to go off of what she said, I can grant you advice from there.

"There's more of you? Siblings, in a way?" She asked, before a grin curled across her lips. Pushing back a lock of her hair, tucking it behind herear, she set btoh hands onto her hips, giving a very determined look to him.

"Well, why don't we go find them? Must be awfully lonely here with no one else to talk to." Only a month old...and yet still an adult. Not to have true life experiences; she felt pity for him, but she refused to show it. Pity was a way to insult people - at least, it was in her mind. Rather than pity him for the problem, she was having fun trying to figure out how they can get to the solution. Already her mind was whirling. What if they could find his creator? That would be interesting!

NOW OPEN

A month. One whole month it has been - down the the day since this nightmarish world was created - fused together by two opposing realms. Some areas, beautiful, others were horrifying. Society of Humans were hard pressed to continue on as regular when roads that were all too familiar would dip down into underwater cities out of no where. People claimed it to be retribution from their Gods, others believe witchcraft had summoned these odd beings. Others accepted this change and tried to move with it.

Marissa was one of these. Being a bit of an artist herself, she found many things inspirational int his new world - and every chance she got she would explore it. With school out, it made things much easier for the time to explore it.

Today, she stood beneath a beautiful tree that had really no definition to what kind it was: Tall and thick like an oak, but the leaves were different shades of color and shape. Setting a hand against the light green bark, she managed to chip a piece away to try and see the wick within: a very light lavender hue greeted her, and that was enough for her - and began to note the difference in her little composition journal.

"Where to go to today..?" she asked herself a loud, not really caring if anyone heard her or not, as she would turn her head, gazing about the area of the wide field with a beautiful lake: Not to mention the fact this was a part of the rural areas of the nearby city.

Ventro: Nightmares, definitely. I often give the story over to my players and enjoy seeing what they can come up with in sub-plots during the major plot. =D And feel free to test some characters here. I'm never against the idea.

NyClone: If it helps, I'm a 12 year Veteran when it comes to roleplaying on forums. If you want to PM me some samples of your work, I can assist you with what may seem to be problematic.

Marissa tucked her book back into her small tan and blue jean patchwork pack, before she slung it back over her shoulder. Watching a strange balloon looking ...bird? Maybe? She couldn't tell, fly by in her eye sight, she noticed another person in the area. She blinked, noting the color of his hair - but from this distance he seemed human. Or maybe it was a girl? Looked like a guy, but with how things were these days, no one could be sure.

nd like she could talk, she was much the same. Today, her hair was bright pink, falling into straight strands down her back - and in her hair she had stenciled yellow stars of various sizes. Lip gloss with glitter, though clear, still reflected off her skin. Not to mention the light blue eye shadow she had on. Her clothing matched her outrageous hair, however: A loose tank top with necklaces of plastic and metal - each yellow or silver of various star and moon shapes, and matching bracelets wrapped around both wrists. Regular jeans hung off her hips with stars painted up the calves, a studded-star belt around her waist with pink converses on her feet.

Ever since this fusion happened, she's always wondered if, maybe, she's always lived a dream and THIS was reality..but, never mind that. Shoving that thought aside, Marissa started walking across the grass with a purpose towards this man.

"Ahoy there!" She called cheerfully, throwing her right hand into the air with a wave. A grin was across her face as she made her presence known: Certainly she meant no harm, so hopefully this guy didn't either...

I'll PM it to you since it's not really something for this thread.

She could only grin to his response to her question, before she would fold her arms behind her head, fingers laced after the hand shake.

"I'm studying. All the unique changes are like cracking open a famous painter's mind and seeing what lurks inside. 'Sides, hopefully with studying, I can learn more about it. Understand it better," He seemed really nice, and he was certainly friendly - which was was glad. She's heard rumors of terrors lurking about, and regular day-to-day life teaches you to never judge a book by it's cover.

For the first time, she broke eye contact to glance around the dream-like area. "I like some of these changes, personally. It's a good dose of what the world needed."

It was the eyes that gave it away. Too many people were too shallow to have such deep eyes, even if the color were contacts. Marissa would take his hand, showing she was unafraid of what he was - whatever that was exactly - and gave it a firm shake.

"I am just fine! Yourself, good sir?" Other than his eyes, hair could have been dyed, and the glance of his pointed ears which easily could have been applied - freaks were natural in the human world in such ways; yes, his eyes were the main thing that gave his race away.

No matter, the smile on her face never faulted, and her brave eyes stayed in direct lock to his own. "Out by yourself on a day like this? One would think you'd be with your sweetie or summin'." Marissa would state, speaking cheerfully. Of course, she had no room to talk, but she had an excuse for that one.

Well so long as people are still posting, it's a start. =3

Yup, I'm back. Finally have steady internet access, so you'll see me online a lot more often; if that wasn't a gimme.. XD

Wal Mart sells little balls you could put into a ball pit - get one of those, maybe a plate or something light weight from the crafts section, and a rod. Hot glue that, yo. XD Even if you can't get the right shades or anything, you can always paint it the color you want. Metallic Blue isn't hard to find.

Just a suggestion.
