Carnival

[Chilord]

The Carnival is coming to town.

Not the simple little travelling rides and attractions, no this carnival is a place of change. At once it can exist in the past present and future, in this world and the next, all existing at a single point outside of time and space. It is a place where one can meet oneself, their ancestor and their descendant. Where destiny itself is changed with a single simple decision.

And it is said that somewhere, deep within its depths lies the key to your heart's desire. However, only half the trick is finding the key, the other half comes with slipping through the obstacles that lie in your path.

Basically, this is an RPG where your charactor, anime or original, but only one charactor, stumbles across the carnival and the delights and horrors it holds.  It is filled with trickery and honest interetwined into one, where transformations of the body, mind and soul abound. A place where the shadows themselves take a life of their own and come to dance in the moonlight.

If you're interested, please submit a charactor, wither an established charactor, or an original one of your own creation. Be sure to include a description of your char in either way, physical, mental, emotional, etc etc etc, as well as a bit of their past history, and what they might like to find in the carnival...

Hum.  I'm in, that's for sure.  Playing Raya Likely I will.  I'd post the desc now but I may need to add a bit of the stuff I keep in my head.

Fun fun this should be.  Query, do I need a want for the character... or can i treat the carnival as if it was just a fun carnival until the weirdness begins?

Well... hrm... I can't really go into that without spoiling some of the points of the plot... ^^;; but, it doesn't have to be an obvious thing, just a want that is deep within them. Everyone has them... *shrugs softly*

[thepanda]

Name: Aaron Blake

Age: 18

Height: Five foot four inches

Weight: 150

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Emerald

Other Physical Characteristics: A caramel complextion (he's mixed), shoulder length hair, and a light build

Clothing: Black jeans, white shirt, green jacket

Nationality: American(mixed); late 1990's

    Aaron feels he is an island in a sea of people. He stands alone and for the most part likes it that way. Not overly hostile, he thinks most of the people around him are prime candidates for a Darwin.

    He has three younger sisters. His mother died when he and his sisters were young and his father never remarried. His father's company keeps him from being home very often, leaving Aaron to take care of his siblings.

Although polite, he has a poor social life, no love interest which to speak of, and he's just coasting through life without any firm direction. Lately he's been feeling restless. Having to be the surrogate father for so long, he yerns for something more.

Additional Notes: Extreme dislike of eating meat. Not the most out going of people and shy around girls.
Not religious.  He has an extreme weakness for candy, cute girls, and helping children.

He's looking for a purpose (or a girlfriend; whichever works).

Edit: That better?

[Dracos]

Well then...Shalt I post character data ^_^

Name: Raya Sprite

Age: Unknown (even by her) (Looks about eight years old)

Height: Just under four feet.

Weight: You don't ask that! *BAM*

Hair Color: Auburn

Eye Color: Purple

Other Physical Characteristics: Is insanely cute.  She generally milks this quite a bit.  Despite her childish appearance and demeanor she is quite intelligent and often shocks people by how serious she can get when it is an emergency.

Clothing: Generally wears a loose thick green robe.  Always carries a curving wood staff with her.  Wears a gold amulet from a friend under her robes.

Nationality: The forest of Seasons

   Raya is an orphan, last of the mana sprites of the forest of seasons.  During an upheaval on her world her entire village was razed to the ground by humans searching for their 'power'.  Joining with a small group, Raya fought against this dark empire, eventually destroying it...but at a terrible price.  Mana was banished from her world... Entirely.  As a child of mana, she could not exist there anymore.  Neither could the son of her old friend, a young mana dragon by the name of Flammie.  Nor indeed could the spirits of mana, who quickly began to fade from the world with the passing of the age of mana.  With no choice, Raya and her friends consigned themselves to death.  It was then they met a traveler of worlds...who showed them the way to freedom.  Traveling the multiverse, Raya remains ever a bundle of hope and dreams around others, her form never changing from that fated day when the tree of mana fell, cursing the land.  Her faithful friends are always within call of her magic.  She remains a child at heart, but can be serious when it matters.

Additional Notes: Due to the effects of another game gained the ability to shrink or grow at will.  Rather uncontrolled, she's liable to completely miss her desired size when she tries.

Her want will be simple...  her homeland.

Drac: Check

Panda: Could you add in a bit more detail...? You don't have to go quite as indepth as Drac, but... it would be nice... ^^;;

[Carthrat]

Hmm. I might join, depending on when you plan to start. If it's within the next three weeks, that's a no go.

*shrugs*

My character shall be... Solkara.


Solkara is a former warrior who wielded an 8 foot staff.. but is afflicted with permenant weakness, and can barely move most of the time. He forced himself to learn some forms of magic since then, but he's nowhere near as strong as he was...

And I'll write more if I'm in ^_^

[Chilord]

I'd actually need more to say if you were in or not -_-;; not that much to go on...

But, as for when I'm gonna start it... that's still in heavy debate... afterall I've got finals next week so I'm rather crunched for time so I haven't gotten all the plans I'm gonna need done just yet. Will have them done soon I hope, but not likely to be until some time next week after I've gotten all my projects done

[Carthrat]

Well, I'm leaving kinda soon, so I don't have tiem to write a proper bio.

Maybe I can do one in Singapore.. I dunno. Well, don't do anything special for my sake ^_^

[Chilord]

Yeah, that works Panda...

Anyone else intrested in this, or shall I just move on and forget about it.... -_-;

[Shukuen]

Mind if I join?

Name: Makoto Tomoe

Age: 14 years old

Height: 4 ft 6 in (137 cm)

Weight: 107 lb (49 kg)

Hair Color: Light Violet

Eye Color: Dark Pink

Misc. Physical Characteristics: An albino, so he is slightly pale. Physically, he's only a bit above average, similar to a gymnast's physique. Has an almost feminine complexion, which annoys him a lot since people keep mistaking him for a girl.

Clothing: Mainly dark, functional clothing. Occasionally wears either a denim vest or slightly worn hooded poncho.

Nationality: Japanese

In an alternate timeline, he is the son of Hotaru Tomoe, a.k.a. Sailor Saturn. His father, a former mercenary-assasin, died a long time ago on a mission when Makoto was very young. He left many of his possessions for his family. Among them were assorted weapons and a worn-out poncho.

An only child, he was raised mainly by his mother, and as a result, is usually a shy, quiet boy who enjoys some quiet time with books and music. He also would enjoy being around with friends, although he is so shy, he has yet to make friends.

Though he wishes to make friends, he is often alienated from other kids. In fact, he is quite mature for his age, and often times cannot understand why the other kids act as they do. So he is usually uncomfortable around other kids his age and feels more at peace either with adults or alone.

Lately though, Makoto seems to have become more reclusive then usual. Often disappearing for hours on end, then suddenly returning, completely exhausted, and not telling anyone where he was or why he disappeared. It is unknown what he does during these times, but it seems he has taken interest in following his father's footsteps and becoming a mercenary. Makoto has even gone as far as taking his father's old on-job name when his father went on missions.

Though he dreams of becoming like his father, the thing he desires most is a friend that he can relate to and understand.

Finished, if I need to change anything, tell me.

[Chilord]

One more signed up, though more storry would definately help...

[acetalon]

Mind if I join, if its still open?  

Name: Virato Talon

Age: 14 years old

Height: 5 ft. 6

weight:110 lb

Hair color: A bluish green, keeps it short.

Eye color: grey

Other characteristics: Slightly tanned skin.  Never outspoken and hardly ever speaks with more than 3 sentences at a time.

Clothing: A big cloak that covers his whole body.  Wears loose clothes underneath that don't restrict his movement and let him blend into the crowd.

Nationality: Guild of the Watchers

Virato had never really had any true friends.  In a dark world filled with dark deeds, friends were only those you could trust to put a blade in your back.  The Guild of the Watchers, a misnomer, as it was not a guild, but a country, were the ones that watched the action of all other countries, yet rarely ever taking action themselves.  They, the country, had the status and the reason to not create rivalry.  If they became involved, the other countries might realize the greater threat and band together.  Virato never knew his family nor would he want to.  Deep inside he was ashamed of how distrustful he had become of those around him and his parents probably would be too, but in his world, to do otherwise was an invitation of death.  

He did open up once.  There was a girl his age.  Several years ago when he was a younger, he met her and truly enjoyed himself.  He could tell her anything, and she could tell him everything.  The last thing he remembered of her was a scrawled note with a puddle of blood that blotted out everything but a few words at the end.  He never really recovered from that.

He knows only enough knowledge about fighting to use the two pistols that are always at his side with relative ease.  He does know how to brawl from his rough childhood, but nothing special.

The last thing he remembered was renting a room in a run-down old apartment and fallling asleep, only to wake up in another world.

His desire: To find out if this was a dream or if his life had been one.  To find out what happened to that girl, and if possible, change his world.

If any other info is needed, i'll add em in

[Chilord]

Ok 4 signed up so far

Dracos
Panda
Shu
Ace

Rat is a possible 5th, but, I want to have at least 6 players for this.

[DY]

I'd be glad to fill up that sixth position.

Name: Nathan Anderson

Age: 39

Height: 6' 1"

Weight: 165 lb

Hair color: Black

Eye color: Blue-gray

Characteristics: Muscular but not overly so. Skin is somewhat tan. Is gruff, persistent, and seems to be always a bit put off.

Nationality: American(from NY)

When he was young, Nathan had the dream of growing up and becoming a police officer to protect the innocent. Joing the force shortly after graduating from the academy, Nathan was brash and cocky. Ready to take on anything that was within his ability. He was then forced to wake up and face reality. Becoming a police officer wasn't at all like what he had imagined.

Corruption within the system, guilty men being able to run free without enough evidence, long hours, dangerous shootouts and undercover assignments, and the fact that you could get shot at anytime on the job. Now older, Nathan couldn't take it anymore. He lost his youthful vigor that he had years before and it seems like he's losing his hope that he could've made a difference. Things were becoming harder for him. Nathan doesn't seem to try anymore and he can't understand why.

His desire: To be able to gain back his energy from when he was young and somehow renew his dreams and hopes.
