This is a RP I tried out on another board. I'm interested to see how it would work here.


Plot

In 2012, magic came back to the world. This came in an explosion of power and eradicated a large amount of the worlds population. It shifted continents, changing the world as we know it. When the dust settled, the powerful, or smart remained. Along with a handful of crazies. This radical shift in the world led to new hierarchies. The only ones to survive either embraced the old ways and fell in love with technology, or pursued magic with a fierce devotion. Of course... there were also the physicals. Driven insane by an overload of magic in their bodies, they are closer to shells than true humans. They live mostly off of instinct and survive through insane strength and physical skill. They couldn't touch technology or the magic, but beware letting a physical get close enough to touch you.

"David pulled himself out of the hole he used as his home. He muttered a word of command and the wards around his place sealed. He smiled and turned to the forest. He came face to face with glowing red eyes.

'****.'

David was blown away before he had even a moment to mutter a word

It is now 2025. Droids, known as mageware became something of a phenomenon. These magically enhanced robots started scouring the world, killing everything they see. The droids were equipped with the most advanced technology, and powerful magic conductors. Mere machines using the force that flows through life. And they only have one goal. People learned to avoid these droids, and began searching for their source...


People eventually started joining together in bands they referred to as 'their families'. Small nomadic tribes, with lone groups in the space between. In a family were usually one type of people, either mages or technos. Families had nothing to do with heritage, as relationships came far and few, in this new world. Power makes it harder to give, and without giving, people just don't quite know love anymore. Except for a special few. The kids that have been born since the event have extremely powerful magic. It seemed the technos would become a dying breed eventually.

Technos, afraid of that began experimenting with their technology and found a safe way to bring technology into the body of a person. These people, willing to trade magic for a better technological advantage, became known as cyborgs, and stood a chance in hand to hand combat, with the strength of machines.

Feeling strengthened people decided, all over the globe, to make a choice. They would not stand for being forced into a nomadic lifestyle. Independent of even knowing other people were doing this, people started forming bands of the most powerful and intelligent people they knew, and started off to find the source.

You, if you choose to join the quest, will find others interested in taking down the droids, and destroy the source.


Races:

Humans
Humans are the most average run of the mill people. They were born and lived as they were born.
*conventional to our ideas of humans
*stronger in magic

Cyborgs
Cyborgs used to be human. Then, through their own or others help, they achieved a partial robotics implant (PRI). This affects their thinking, making them colder and logical.
*stronger
*have a better understanding of technology
*more subject to magical strikes


Classes:

Mages
Mages are people who have trained and studied this new art form to blossom across the world. They mostly teach themselves, though it is not unheard of for an older more experienced mage to tutor a younger.
*strong magic
*magic is dependent on faith. However you believe it to be, that is how your magic is.
*no reagents necessary.

Physicals
Physicals lost their minds during the rebirthing of the world. They evolved from the magic into crazy strong instinctual beings, but have very little thought process to accompany it.
*insane, most or all of the time
*incredible strength
*uncanny instincts

Technos
Technos dabble in every kind of technology. From pet robotics to PRI they have given up the way of magic to build.
*strong, physically
*intelligent with al kinds of technology
*weakened against magic


Character Template

Race:
Class:
Age:
History: (pre-cataclysm)
Moment of Cataclysm:
Gear/WoC:
Psychological Impairments:
Specialties:



Name: Stal

Race: Human

Class: Mage

Age: 33

History: (pre-cataclysm) Stal was born and raised in the perfect American environment. Spoiled. He had every new gadget the day it came out, and never had to work for anything himself. As such he became more and more indrawn and focused only on himself, and his ideas. He was a loner, who lived in the basement of his parents house. He worked on theories to explain the universe and how everything interacted. He was a study in a area of science most believed to be fake, the ties of people and auras. Stal never saw the irony, that self absorbed as he is he studied interactions with ferocity.He began working on the web theory, and this absorbed his life. All he ever did was try to prove that it existed. That every person energy, or 'soul for lack of a better word, was connected to all the people and living things, that person was connected to. One day, when he effectively brought a flower back to life, by manipulating the bee which took it's pollen from the flower, he proved the theory. He called a major corporation (Cytech) and was called in for an appointment. However that was the day everything changed.

Moment of Cataclysm: Stal was heading to Cytech, with his web theory when magic flooded into the world, and for a moment Stal could feel the web, see it around him, it proved it to him, that he was correct. He understood, instinctively, almost, how to perform this new magic, and kept it under control. In a matter of seconds, Stal mastered, what took others by complete surprise. Then a chaotic blast knocked down the building next to him and rubble falling on him, knocked him out. When he came to and hurried back to his parents house they were gone. His entire neighborhood was a smoking crater. Someone without control had destroyed it. He was surprised to find an lack of emotion. He practiced the magic, and grew in it, and one day it saved his life. He had a spell up to detect moving animals, to catch himself a meal, for the end of the day. Something powerful caught the edges of this spell, and blew back a magical whiplash. Stal panicked for the first time in his life, and managed to find somewhere safe to hide while the droid passes. From that day on, he began working on magic to destroy those things.

Gear/WoC: Three self enchanted rings, each with a different element's power imbued in it. Also a wooden staff that was handed through the family, and seemed to awaken with some sort of power when the cataclysm happened.

Psychological Impairments: Does not get along well with other people. Tends to get lost in thought often.

Specialties:Theoretical Science, and magical theory. Stal can see into a web of life, from time to time that connects all of us. It gives him a better grasp inot how to perform magic, and how to use it most effectively.

Name: Suiari

Race: Human

Class: Mage

Age: 13

History: (pre-cataclysm) Wasn't born yet.

Moment of Cataclysm: She was born after the cataclysm. When she was born she seemed normal, but as she got older a cold cruel (towards enimes) started to show. The cold and cruel side seemed to have complete control over her magic.

Gear/WoC: Her split personality enchanted a bow and arrow holder (Can't think pf the name sorry). The bow will never miss its target, and the arrows never run out. Shes the only one able to use it, any one else that touches it will spontaisly catch a flame. She also has a enchated ring, again by her split personality, that will use wind to protect her and allow her to use the wind element to attack.

Psychological Impairments: Her split personality can take over anytime and be very mean.

Specialties: She can sometime force her split personality back but is very rare. She is very smart but timid


Well here she is let me know if i did something wrong.

just out of curiosity, and because I feel we need to get this straight, what year is this taking place?

if the cataclysm took place in 2012, then how many years has it been since the rebirth of magic?

Sorry for not making it more clear. It states at the beginning of a paragraph that it is 2025.

You can cast spells without a physical object to act as a focus. And battle system is standard I suppose, I'm not sure what you're asking.

The cataclysm occurred 13 years ago, Dream Of Purity pointed that out to me. You character would have to be a young teen if born after the cataclysm. If you want, we can ignore it in favor of the story. It's up to you.

Character Template

Name: Thaine Richard Ryke
Race: Human
Class: Teachno
Age: 27
History: (pre-cataclysm) Thaine Ryke was born in to a trust fund heavily funded by Ryke Industries the main proprietor of robotic intelligence in most of Western Europe. Thaine before the cataclysm was just an average little rich British boy without much in ways of really living in the world. With over protective parents he really stayed and home growing frail but being lavished with gifts of various sorts but he still grew lonely with out friends or company. His father, Richard Ryke, built him a prototype of an artificial friend. With no one else as a true figure of love and compassion Thaine grew fond of this "toy." He called it buddy lacking creativity that you usually would have seen developing as such an age. It played with him helped him and even failed with him it was his life and love. When Thaine turned 10 his father started to become skeptical of his child's interactions with this robot and started trying to have him have real friends. Thaine rejected the idea immediately. The robot was the only figure of love and affection he ever had. His father simply bought nannies for him and never gave him a care until it affected his stature in the world. Richard Ryke grew wary of the situation and quickly forced Thaine into various forms of social interaction such as schooling, sports, etc. Thaine succeeded very well but still, he disregarded people and saw this small toy as his only true friend.

Quote:
"Buddy, I love you... you will always be with me won't you... Thank you... your my best pal too Buddy. No one can keep me from you Buddy... I love you Buddy."

Moment of Cataclysm: Thaine's father died the day of the cataclysm. He felt no remorse no sadness no hint of anguish, he just continued on with the company being taken care by surviving employees until he could take over the company and with it, power. Present Day Thaine seems to run with the remaining survivors. They are few now but there technology is great. With the presence of magewear his company seeks to destroy and/or take over the company and in turn be the most powerful of all the humans in the world.

Gear/WoC: Thaine carries state of the art body armor. He favors an energy sword but tends to fight with robots instead. "BUDDY" still can be seen with him at all times and now has been equipped with various devices of combat and torture.

Psychological Impairments: Thaine obviously has heavy trust issues and is on the verge of being a sociopath.

Specialties:Thaine specializes in robotics rather than guns. He knows basic magic because of being human mainly telekinetic and healing spells preferring to fight fire balls with robots rather than your typical ice bolt.

Just wanted to know if i should do present day history or if that would be in first post. I am a terrible artist and would also like to know whether i should find a picture or fail at drawing >.>

ROUGH DRAFT DONE!

Name: Xander(Chase) Andreou
Race: Human
Class: Mage
Age: 23

History: Lived with his mother in California, she was rich and had him attend private school as far back as he can recall. Wanted to be a scientist and understand the elements and most importantly lightning. He was skinny but not frail, since a young age his mother has had him leaning martial arts from private trainers and at the age of 13 knows with extensive details of Tae kwon doe and Ju jitsu. His mothers job of running mines that harvested valuable gems kept her busy. He never had any siblings and never knew his father, only that his father left when he was a infant.

Moment of Cataclysm: Sitting in his private gym meditating when he heard the noise, as he ran outside he saw the bright lights and hoped for a more interesting life style, after the cataclysm his psychological problems worsened and he ran, he hasn't seen(but has heard news) from her and he has been attempting to re-meet up with her as soon as possible.

Gear/WoC: A necklace given to him by his mother to help control his condition(Switch back to his base personality with enough will) but also hampers his power. It is a sterling silver necklace with a rare gem(PAINITE) at the center which constantly is absorbing Xanders power and storing it within the necklace.

Psychological Impairments: Dissociative personality Disorder, His base personality is considered bipolar and doesn't believe that he has multiple(4 others) so far. Each personality can for some reason only switch when he is asleep or in extreme emotion but can randomly reverts back to his base personality. Each separate personality can only use one type of magic powerfully but can't excess the others unless at base and that is when Xander is at his weakest.

Specialties: He focuses in electrical attacks and working for the power of lighting, his 4 personalities use the four elements (Fire, Water, Air, or Ground).

Name: Alice Lancaster
Race: Cyborg
Class: Physical
Age: 30
History: Alice was always an odd girl, sweet, kind, overly affectionate, but odd. She didn't like barbies nor tonka trucks. She liked stuffed animals. She still has a fondness for stuffed animals, though it rarely shows. When she was in high school, she wasn't the most popular girl in school, but she was well liked. Often, people made fun of her for her eyes that seemed to stare into space, or her pale complexion, but she paid them no mind, content to living a happy, simple life. She was obviously a gifted individual, she had a near photographic memory, and read faster than anyone at her school. She would have been valedictorian if she had applied herself. Sadly, a good book was always preferred over her homework assignment.
Moment of Cataclysm: Prom. Alice counted herself the luckiest girl in her school of nearly 2 thousand students. She was the only Alice in her graduating class; the only Alice in wonderland. The theme of the prom suited her, she went in a pale blue dress, mocking the book, with her hair done up in traditional English style. When the cataclysm hit, she found that her luck wasn't as good as she had thought. A pyrokinetic was born that moment, and Alice's dress, while elegant, was anything but fire-retardant. Alice went up in flames, as did the entire prom. Alice was saved by emergency surgery, and massive skin grafts. While saved, she was left primarily disfigured. Luckily for her, she found she had adopted magical abilities as well. She did some grafting of her own. Soon, there was more technology than girl left. Many told her to stop, that she was destroying herself, in her mind, she was saving herself... They wanted her to die? To be ugly forever? She broke, the magic had nearly destroyed her grasp of reality, and, like a computer, she shut down. After a while she re-booted, and now, her primary consciousness is more easily likened to a computer than a girl. She is cold, methodical, and completely insane. While the computer that now does most of her thinking isn't impaired, Alice herself is still in control.

Gear/WoC: Cybernetic eyes, artificial skin and hair, adrenal booster, most of her joints were altered to be ball-and-socket joints.
Psychological Impairments: Paranoid delusions, phobia of magic, phobia of fire, Psychosis, depression
Specialties: Ability to heal, heal others. Scars still form, but bleeding ceases, and internal injuries rarely go unsolved

I see you chose well.
