All four of my Characters Bios are up.
Have a plot, finally.
Needs:
1. People to sign up who plan on riding this out to the end. (I don't like people who come in, post a few times, then skimp out. It's happened to me once before, and completely screwed up my window of opportunity on doing... Something. (Can't remember what it was exactly. XD))
2.
3. I do have a villian sorted out. Creepy guy, too, but I'm not gonna make it official until I see what villians you guys can come up with. (Besides Wizeman. Even with a ton of people, he'd be nearly impossible to defeat. Besides, I think my guy will be more fun/frustrating to fight. XD)
Description of Boss/Enemy:
4.
So, I've got a few things worked out in my head, but not enough to run with and make something stable out of. Once people start signing up, I may be able to cobble something together, but until then, I need more stuff to run off of.
This RP is going to be considered Alternate Universe, but depending on how it goes, you can keep it in your character's history. I would like you to treat it as if it where in-universe, however, despite the fact there are going to be several non-canon places. So, Seriously-Treated AU.
Also, I have no way of knowing where this will go with rating, but I'd like to keep each INDIVIDUAL post under PG-13, if at all possible, please. (I know I will probably ignore this rule on some occasions. Please don't follow my example.)
First, profiles. Please read these. I know they're long, but you don't have to read it all at once. You can leave and come back later to finish them.
Profiles:
Name: Frostbite
Nickname(s): Frosty
Looks: A light-blue-and-light-purple cat-like humaren wearing a fur-lined snow-suit with a face protector/mask. (Take a real close look at my tiny avatar. That’s him. XD (The mask is down in that pic, though.)
Special possessions: None
Weapons: Frostbite carries around two shards of ice fused with his own energy, which can shapeshift into several things, including an exact copy of himself. Several times these are used for substitutions when he is about to take a serious blow. They can also change into various weapons, and also can be used to modify/stretch his own powers, mostly by modifying his range of sight.
Personality: I'm going to put it bluntly. He's a badmouthing, sarcastic, abrasive, crazy-a** bastard with a pinch of Jack Sparrow thrown in for good measure. He occasionally plays mind games with people, but only when he wants to.
Loves: N/A
Wants/Wishes: N/A
Fears/Hates: His apprentice, Luna, a seemingly powerless excuse for a Nightmaren, who was appointed to him by Wizeman after he failed a mission.
Special Abilities: He has the ability to create and manipulate ice at will, a fact he regularly exploits in unexpected ways, even outside of battle. Also, instead of Flying, has extreme ninja-like speed.
Short History: A level two Nightmaren with abilities nearly level with a Level One Nightmaren, Frostbite was due to be powered up to full Level One abilities after his latest Mission: Track Down NiGHTS, and pin him down until Reala got there to finish the job. However, before Reala had a chance to finish NiGHTS off, NiGHTS outwitted tham both and caught them in a paraloop, getting away.
Reala, realizing what kind of trouble yet another failure would get them both in, falsified his recollection of the events, blaming Frostbite for letting NiGHTS get away. Despite Frostbite's attempts to persuade Wizeman to believe HIM over his Level-One Lapdog, Frostbite was punished, and Reala was let off scot-free. Frostbite's punishment was to train Wizeman's first attempt at an Ideya-Maren: A Nightmaren created from the Energy of the Ideyas, in an attempt to create a Level-One Nightmaren even more Powerful than NiGHTS. However, Luna, a colorful moth-like Maren created from an Ideya of Purity, turned out even weaker than a Level-Three Maren, and didn't even have the cruelty to hurt a Pian. For Frostbite, who'd been boiling under the skin about Wizeman's preference to Reala's account over his, this was the last straw. Soon, Wizeman rolled off his Second Ideya-Maren, Kigaku, a nine-tailed fox-like Medical Nightmaren. Still only Level Two in strength, and not even close to Frostbite or Reala in ability, the only reason Kigaku still lives to this day is because of Frostbite's tiny bit of remaining leverage with Wizeman. Frostbite convinced Wizeman that Kigaku could still be useful, reducing the recovery time between serious missions. However, Frostbite had his own agenda for the Medical-Maren. Frostbite had Kigaku create several powerful one-time spells, telling him that it could get them both on Wizeman's good side. Kigaku, however, being created from the Ideya of Wisdom, knew Frostbite was up to something. However, he didn't say a thing, knowing that Frostbite could seriously injure anyone in his path. Soon after, Frostbite, in a magnificent display of the one-time powers that Kigaku had helped him gain, fought his way out of Nightmare, not realizing that Luna, his ever-faithful apprentice, had followed him the entire way. Since that time, Frostbite has become a priority for eradication, which, luckily for him, means that Reala will still be going after NiGHTS. However, there is a twist to this tale, because Frostbite realizes that, unlike NiGHTS, he doesn't cherish freedom. He still horrifies the Visitors, and informs to both sides of Nightopia, helping his old tool Kigaku, AND NiGHTS, informing both of them in his own sadistic manner, of what's going on on the other side.
Strong enemies: Several on both sides.
Light enemies(more like a friendly rival if anything): NiGHTS
Small friendships(Kind of an acquaintance): Kigaku
Close friendships: Luna (In HER Mind)
Themesong: N/A (Can't Pick one from his Sonic Incarnation. XD Don't fit anymore.)
Lyrics: N/A
Name: Luna
Nickname(s): N/A
Looks: A colorful pink moth-like humaren. No really outstanding features other than her wings.
Special possessions: N/A
Weapons: N/A
Personality: Absolutely annoyingly obsessed with trying to get Frostbite's approval. She isn't the brightest bulb, and is often naive, spacey, etc.
Loves: Frostbite. Literally. Being an Ideya-Maren, she often shows more human emotions than most normal maren do, the first and most obvious one being her unexplainable obsession and love of Frostbite.
Wants/Wishes: See above.
Fears/Hates: Frostbite's constant rejections, often putting her into short bouts of depression.
Special Abilities: Absolutely zero, save for some slow flight with her wings, which is why she's being trained by Frostbite.
Short history: Luna was Wizeman's first attempt at using Ideya energy to create a Nightmaren of un-equalled power. However, being the first, she was also riddled with mistakes, and she can hardly be classified as a Maren, having no abilities whatsoever. However, when Frostbite failed his most important mission soon after Luna's creation, instead of destroying Luna as he normally would, he gave her to Frostbite as a sort of punishment, saying that in order for him to be changed into a Level-One Maren, he would have to bring Luna up to his own level of strength, before the both of them could be changed to Level One. Frostbite knew this was impossible, and he wasn't happy about it. So, Frostbite took advantage of Wizeman's second Ideya-Maren, Kigaku, who gave him several powerful one-time-use spells. However, unknown to Frostbite, Kigaku gave Luna a spell. One Spell. One that allowed her to tack herself onto Frosty's energy and teleport to wherever he was. Yet another one-use. Luna watched in horror as Frostbite made his move, slaughtering many level-three Nightmaren that got in his way, as well as a few level-two maren that thought he was weaker than they where. Luna hesitantly uses the spell after Frosty was well out of the borders of Nightmare. Frostbite nearly killed her upon sight, before realizing that the flash of pink was in fact Luna. Frostbite's exact words upon realizing it was Luna were this: "That bastard fox...!"
Family: Luna considers Frostbite both family and, at some times, sort of a boyfriend. The feeling is not mutual.

Theme(optional): N/A
Lyrics(optional): N/A
Name: Kigaku (Translated: Instrumental Music)
Nickname(s): Dusty
Looks: A dust-colored nine-tailed fox-like Humaren wearing what could be mistaken for a poncho/nightwear. (He's also wearing a hard-to-discribe hat. If you've ever seen "The Emperor's New Groove, it sorta looks like Pacha's hat, except with two Ideyas dangling from the sides of it, as well as the normal Chest Crystal dangling from the top of it.)
Special possessions: N/A
Weapons: Kigaku carries around a jewel-encrusted Flute with which he can cast several spells, ranging widely in power, range, and element.
Personality: A calm, peaceful Nightmaren who just wants quiet and order. Needless to say, he doesn't get it very often. Also very protective of Buraindo-tsuiseki-aigandoubutsu. (Translated: Blind Tracking Animal/Pet. He just calls her Fig.) Although he doesn't approve of the other Nightmaren's methods for getting what they want, he knows his place, unlike Frostbite, who lashes out whenever something doesn't go right.
Loves: N/A
Wants/Wishes: All he wants is for the constant warring between the two realms to end.
Fears/Hates: Kigaku is deathly afraid that Wizeman will discover his incomplete loyalty, and that he knows more than he says. He created Fig without Wizeman's knowledge, but Fig has already proved herself infinitely useful. Despite that, however, Wizeman knows that Kigaku has a soft spot for his creation, and he knows Wizeman will not hesitate to exploit it.
Special Abilities: With the use of his flute, Kigaku can use a wide array of spells. However, being more of a Maren of knowledge than brute strength, he sticks with what he is truly good at: Healing. Kigaku also has the ability to tap into the unrestrained powers of the Ideya that created him, as well as the Ideya of a Dreamer, together the two are powerful enough to let Kigaku see the future of both the Human World and the Dream World. However, Wizeman is unaware of this power, seeing Kigaku as only a pathetic healer that got lucky in creating another Ideya-Maren.
Short History: Kigaku was Wizeman's Second Attempt at creating an Ideya-Maren, a Nightmaren with the power of the Ideya, in an attempt to destroy the Traitor, NiGHTS. Needless to say, Dusty wasn't a success, being too self-restrained, too calm, and too... Not Sinister in the least. However, unlike Luna, Kigaku had some potential, and was appointed to help other Maren recover from serious missions, so they could be sent out sooner. However, Kigaku was soon apporoached by Frostbite. Kigaku knew that Frostbite wanted to defect, but played dumb, simply beginning to manufacture spells for him. Temporary powers. Inside of a month, Frostbite had enough spells stockpiled to destroy 20% of the Level-three Maren inside of Nightmare, and enough to kill a few level-two Maren on top of that. And that's precicely what he did during his escape, and he still just barely made it out. After Frostbite had defected, and unknowingly taken Luna along for the ride, Kigaku realized how powerful he could potentially be. However, he knew that if Wizeman knew that he had created the spells for Frostbite, he'd be destroyed on the spot. So, Kigaku contained himself, continuing the simple job he had been assigned.
Within a week, however, curiosity overtook him. He tried to contain the 'Human' emotion that drove him, but eventually, he couldn't stand it anymore. So he quietly snuck away one night after spotting an Ideya of Purity wandering through Nightmare. Kigaku quickly took ahold of it, and before he knew what was happening, he was seeing the future of Nightmare. The future of the Humans. The future of everything and everyone. Suddenly, a cracking sound snapped him out of his trance. The Ideya he was using was makijng a strange cracking sound, and it was also fading away. Kigaku tries to grab it again, and the second he touched it, he saw a flash of the human reality. Of a girl slowly dying in her sleep. Kigaku reacts to this image almost instinctively, and without knowing what he was doing, used a spell similar to what Wizeman had used to create the Ideya-Marens to begin with. And thus, Fig, a black-and-white rabbit-like Humaren was born. However, due to Kigaku's inexperience, he had made several mistakes. However, being a Medical-Maren, he was able to reverse several of them. The one fatal flaw that remained was her sight. She was as blind as a bat. However, due to Wizeman's recent creation of the Masks, this was also little problem. Kigaku simply took out his flute and created a mask resembling a blindfold, and put it over her eyes. This mask made her able to sense things 360 Degrees around her, among other things. Kigaku quickly became attached to, and protective of, his creation, knowing that Wizeman would probably destroy her upon sight.
And it did almost come to that, except Wizeman took notice of the blindfold. Wizeman knew that this wasn't one of his previously created masks, and glared at Dusty.
"You created both this Ideya-Maren AND a Mask?" Wizeman asked him.
"Y-Yes...?" Kigaku said, unsure of what this development meant for him.
"What does it do?" Wizeman asks.
"I'm really not sure..." Kigaku says truthfully. "I just saw an Ideya fading away and decided to try my luck. The Human on the other end was dying anyway, so I took it as an opportunity to experiment."
"And...?" Wizeman asks.
"There where several correctable flaws, but her sight was un-recoverable, so I created a mask to hide her eyes. With it, she can see, apparently. I let my mind stray during the creation of the mask, so it could have more powers than just normal sight." Kigaku says nervously.
"Well, let us test that, shall we?" Wizeman says, before calling forth Reala.
It was treated as a game. If Fig could find Reala, she would be allowed to live. If not, she and Dusty would both be destroyed.
Needless to say, Fig found Reala, and both Wizeman and Reala weren't happy about it. However, Wizeman saw potential as well, and had them play again, and again, and again, before ordering Fig to actually CHASE DOWN Reala. Each time, Fig won. Fig, unaware of the stakes, saw this as simply a game, but to Dusty, it was life or death for them both. During these 'games' several flaws and powers where brought to light, however.
Fig would listen to nobody but Kigaku. However, she had the ability to control objects, even Nightmaren in flight, which is how she kept catching Reala. She was fast on foot, and faster in flight. However, she couldn't fly higher than Reala's chest. She could track down anyone, so long as she had 'seen' their energy through either direct 'sight', or through an object or person they had touched.
Eventually, Wizeman let Dusty off with a warning, seeing as how he had created something useful, instead of something useless and cute.
As time passed, Kigaku began to wonder what had happened to the Dreamers that the Ideya-Maren where created from. Did they die? Slip into comas? WHAT?! He quickly shoved the thoughts aside, knowing Wizeman was watching him closely. Months passed before Wizeman gave up and truly accepted it as a fluke. Soon after Wizeman's acceptance of it being a fluke, he sent Kigaku and Fig out on two simultaneous missions into Nightopia: Find and Capture NiGHTS, and to Find and Destroy Frostbite. Kigaku managed to squeeze out a single favor from Wizeman: That they go alone. At least at first. Inside, Kigaku knew that this was his chance to get out of Nightmare permanently. While not necesarrily "Free", he was out of the chaos. This is where he remains now, wandering Nightopia.

(Since I've already covered Fig's history inside of Kigaku's history, I'll leave that bit out.)
Name: Buraindo-tsuiseki-aigandoubutsu
Nickname(s): Fig
Looks: A blindfolded black-and-white child-like humaren that resembles a bunny. Wears a hat similar to Kigaku's, except that she only has a White Ideya of Purity dangling off of the top of hers, and there are no side flaps.
Special possessions: The Blindfold Mask Dusty gave her soon after her creation.
Weapons: N/A
Personality: Extremely young and innocent, she hardly comprehends the severity of the situation she's in. Everything has to be presented as a game in order for her to do it, otherwise, she becomes confused easily.
Loves: Kigaku. She considers him as a father-figure, in every sense.
Wants/Wishes: N/A
Fears/Hates: She has separation anxiety whenever Dusty disappears, and the only reason she would leave him is if she's taken by force, or if she's tracking someone down, thinking it's a game. However, she always keeps Dusty within sight, often costing them time whenever she really needs to be concentrating on tracking something down.
Special Abilities: Aside from the speed she has, her only ability is to control objects with her mind. Usually the target of these psycho-kinetic abilities are Nightmaren that try to escape her, or Maren that harm or frighten herself or Dusty.
Family: Kigaku

That took forever. XD
I have a template that I stole from the "Let It Be" RP that I hacked down slightly. If you want the full one, or want to do a Bio for a Dreamer, go to that RP's Planning page and copy it. Here's my hacked down version (Note: I changed it even further from this, but It's easy to see where. (EG: My Past/Short History, etc)
Also, if you want to use your own style of Bio or have a fully/mostly-typed-up bio saved to your comp, go ahead and use that instead. Doesn't matter to me.

Plot:
(Ripped right from the PM, most of this will end up in the opening post.)
However, I was thinking he used to be a threat to Wizeman's control of Nightmare. Like Selph was, at one point, the only Level-One Ranked Maren. However, he was getting too powerful, and Wizeman decided to get rid of him in favor of two minions at half Selphs power, prompting the creation of NiGHTS and Reala. As in, in favor of one super-powerful Maren that could overthrow him, get two maren at half Selph's strength (Each) that can do the entire job.
*Creepy Storyteller Voice*
However, legend has it that Wizeman was unable to kill Selph, and was only able to entomb him inside his own staff. If anyone is able to break Wizeman Seal while keeping Selph under control, their combined strength could overthrow Wizeman and Nightmare. However, no Pian or Dreamer alone can control Selph, and Wizeman, the one who performed the seal to begin with, is unable to harness this power for that very reason. Wizeman knew this from the beginning, and sealed the staff away from prying eyes.
Nearly a hundred years later, the present day, Reala has found out about The Staff of Selph from Wizeman. Wizeman has grown in power, and so has Reala. Reala's power nearly equals Selph's power a hundred years ago. Nobody is certain if Selph's power has grown, and Wizeman has all but forgotten the Staff's hiding place.
Now, this being extremely important information, it spread through Nightmare like wildfire, and eventually even spread through to the Nightmaren stationed in Nightopia. And, when a Rouge Nightmaren finds out about this information, it will unfold into one gigantic mess.
Frostbite tosses aside the Level-Three Nightmaren he had just tortured for information. "Reala's after the Staff of Selph... Well, can't let him have THAT, now can I?"
Frostbite turns to his Apprentice, who was playing with a group of Pians. "Oi. Stop playing around. We gotta move."
"Oh, co-" Luna begins, only to have Frosty interrupt her mid-sentence with a teleport, landing right in the center of the ring of Nightopians, scaring them all half to death.
"Now!" Frostbite says menacingly, his cold eyes piercing through Luna's skull, and his ice-cold breath becoming visible.
"R-Right. I'll go get my things." Luna says hurriedly, running off.
