I've found that in my history on this board, my favourite RPs have been the ones presented with the least restrictions possible. I've conceptualized this game with that in mind; in this RP, the story isn't determined by a GM, but is come up with by the players themselves as they go along. Nothing is off-limits, you can make your character and your posts as down-to-earth or as ridiculous as you like. The setting's probably gonna end up a mish-mash of fantasy, real-world and sci-fi, and that's great. If you're ever worried you're about to make a post that doesn't fit the setting or the tone of the RP, don't be, because trust me: it does.

In the name of making it easy for anybody to jump in at any time, instead of sheets all you require is a basic introduction; at the top of your first post, include your character's name and an elemental affinity. I say "elemental", but this really isn't restricted to anything; this can be something like Rope, Oil, Bread, Sand, Cats, Knives, whatever. Get as creative as you like. This is what your character's powers are based on, they have control over whatever element you pick. If you feel like re-rolling a new character with a new affinity, kill your old one off or write them out somehow in a post and then introduce another one in that same post or in a later one.

There are really no rules in terms of what settings and events you can come up with in your post, but in terms of play, please don't kill off other peoples' characters without consulting them first. Try not to control other peoples' characters too much. I guess you can make yourself as powerful as you want, but - this is just my opinion - I tend to have more fun playing characters who aren't that powerful, and then using their not-so-powerful powers in creative ways to overcome problems. I'd say that about wraps it up for rules. I don't wanna have too many rules, as I want this RP to be as unrestrictive as possible.

I guess I don't wanna write too much up here, as I want it to be easy enough for anybody to read through this and then jump right in, so with that all out of the way let's get started. If you have any questions about the way the game is played, PM me or post them in here. If not, here we go:

NAME: RIBBON
AFFINITY: SLEEP

Ribbon woke up in the middle of a clearing in what looked like a forest. It wasn't often that Ribbon would pass out without intending to, but she didn't remember how she got there. Ribbon pulled herself to her feet and looked around, hoping she might spot somebody who could help her figure out where she was.

 

[WafflesandBacon]

Name: Maria O'Connor
Affinity: Light

From a distance, Maria could make out the outline of someone, or something, possibily human, getting up and looking around. She watched cautiously, scooping up a bundle of sticks and pebbles on the forest, just in case.

 

[MinimanZombie]

NAME: LESTER GREY
AFFINITY: SOUND

Lester heard an individual shuffling around the forest. He instantly perked up and glared through the trees. He slowly began tiptoeing towards the person. He carefully picked up a particularly sharp but concealable rock, and continued his stealth attempt.

 

[Outisakanobody]

NAME: Roffe Izz al-Din Shapiro
AFFINITY: MAGIC

Suddenly there is whistling to be heard in the forest. It isn't really loud or really good whistling, but you can hear it.

 

[SamRatsbane]

In the bluntest terms, Ribbon was a dim girl, so the faint rustling coming from the trees and the feeling that someone was watching her didn't really register as anything in her mind. That whistling sound was hard to ignore, though. Ribbon was lazy, and would happily have stayed in the clearing and slept a while longer, but she really didn't remember how she got there and that was bothering her a little bit, so she decided she'd task herself with getting to the bottom of this mystery and then go back to sleep as a reward for her hard work.

Ribbon wandered over to a decent-looking patch of tree and started pawing through it. Her searching efforts were quite alarmingly fruitful, as she only had to shove aside one bush before she found herself face-to-face with another person.

"Oh, hi," Ribbon said. Even Ribbon was aware that this response was a little more nonplussed than might be expected, but surprise wasn't something she registered all that often. When you're in a constant state of falling asleep on your feet, not a lot shakes you up.

 

[Demonjazz]

NAME: Iowa Jack
AFFINITY: Greed!
There was a man with a mattock that wandered around this forest. Right now he was carrying around a large treasure chest.

 

[Ruedyn]

NAME: Kovac
AFFINITY: Dirt

The boy with the sandy brown hair wanders, humming as the dirt seems to clear a way for him. He grins as a tree seems to shift, light shining on his face. He wasn't being quiet.

 

[Outisakanobody]

The whistling continues unabated.

 

[Demonjazz]

Iowa Jack heard the whistling and dropped his chest before picking a rock off the ground and flinging it in the direction of the trees. "Hey! Shut up!"

 

[Demonjazz]

Iowa Jack went up to Ribbon. Iowa Jack was a short man with with a big clown nose on and an Indiana Jones costume on, whip and all. "So got any idea where we are miss. I'd kind of like to go to the nearest town."

 

[Knife-28]

Name: Jack Coltello
Affinity: Sharp

Jack was awoken from his slumber by the sound of whistling, and the subsequent sound of someone telling the whistler to shut up. Looking down he saw a man with a large treasure chest and without missing a beat, started scheming about how he could acquire the contents of said treasure chest.

 

[Demonjazz]

Iowa looked at Jack. He saw him eying his treasure chest. "I'd like to remind everyone here that Mattock's through the skull are quite painful. And that spelunkers are known to have a very short temper when somebody tries to steal their stuff."

 

[Outisakanobody]

Once again, the whistling still continues.

 

[Demonjazz]

Iowa put his chest down and threw rocks in the direction of the whistling again. "When I find you, I'm going to whip you to an inch of you inch and eat your children!"

 

[Ruedyn]

A rock sailed in front of him, a few steps later the second found his temple. The tirade wasn't appreciated either, Kovac unearthed a few roots and the trees made a walkway for him. "Do you mind, jerkass? The hell is wrong with you?"

 

[Demonjazz]

"Oh, I don't like people who whistle. And some say that I have anger issues, but what do those trained doctors know."

 

[Outisakanobody]

Suddenly a small thud could be heard near Jack and Kovac. A second or two later there was a small explosion. I wasn't close enough to hurt anyone, and people would have a hard time figuring out where the grenade had come from. The whistling continues.

 

[Demonjazz]

"Show yourself you damn whistling man!"

 

[Ruedyn]

Kovac pushes up a pillar of dirt, taking the shrapnel for the both of em. "You're all crazy! What the hell?!"

 

[Demonjazz]

"Hell is the place where demons and vampires live. I went there once" Iowa said to Kovac.
