HEY EVERYONE. TRY TO AVOID CHATTING HERE AT ALL COSTS TO PREVENT PEOPLE'S ENTRIES FROM LOSING THEIR PRIORITY. THANK YOU.

IMPORTANT PSA HERE:http://forums.stickpage.com/showthread.php?98285-Quest-for-Power-RP-READ-THE-FIRST-PART-OF-THE-THREAD-FIRST&p=1427471&viewfull=1#post1427471

I am accepting new applications through PM.

Major News: nope.

Story:
It is 867 in an alternate universe. War, plague, famine , and death have been destroying the world for several hundreds of years. Only the strong, the smart, the evolved, the lucky, and the advanced have survived. Anyone who has survived has some form of incredible about them, whether it be advanced weapons and abilities to nothing but dumb luck. Legend has it that there is an artifact that can give three people enough power to rule the world. You are one of these few who have the power and the courage to try to find it. Of course, there will be others, whom you can either try to work with or destroy. Who will be part of the Final Triumverate? And of those, who will survive?

Enemies:
Animals: beasts of the wild who are hungry and desperate
Monsters: creatures empowered by unknown forces, oftentimes have extraordinary powers
Fighters: creatures that are mainly humanoid and have specific weaknesses, example: demons, ogres, trolls, and your mother
Various NPCs (portrayed by me): anything can happen with these ones
Other players: although you can choose to partner with them, they can secretly plot your end as you do for them. Remember only three people can get the artifact. Player interactions and outcome will be decided by my dice and personal opinion of matchups.

Your objective:
Get to the artifact at all costs. Make allies and enemies. Go wild.
You will start in five different cities and eventually meet up. Keep this in mind. Feel free to leave or join anyone when you can. Once you get to the artifact, the final three will most likely (unless their wants align) use their newfound powers to see who controls the power in the end. Your allies can help in the final battle, and allies who get to touch the artifact will most likely turn.

Character Creation Time!:
Character Creation will be nearly limitless in this RP, ranging from soldiers/warriors with weapons to supers with crazy unique powers. Get creative with this one. However do try to be balanced. If I deem your character too powerful, I'll inform you and give you a chance to make adjustments.

Name:
Appearance:
Short Backstory:
Personality:
Abilities: (Various attributes; enhanced speed and strength, knowledge)
Powers: (flight, gun generation, etc. Make it fair though.)
Weapons/Equipment: (swords, guns, backpacks, stuff like that.)
Fears: (just added for more depth)

You have better chances of being in at first if you are unique, balanced, and would conform to this world.

GENERAL RULES!

Don't be an asshat. Asshattish actions will be considered rule breaking and I will warn you before hand. If you continue your asshattish ways then you will be removed and your character will be brutally murdered. Although killing and betraying in cold blood is fine.

Include the term "I'm a little teapot." in your application so I know you actually read everything. Spell it correctly to let me know you care. When this is absent from your form, you immediately sink to a lower list than others who have and lower your chance of entrance.
Another thing that'll sink you is if you are part of another RP. I created this RP for people who saw any others and wished they could join, so unless you are especially creative, you will be of the lowest priority.

On my part, I will not let bias, nor feelings get in the way of what should happen, death included. A child who has just lost its mother has an equal chance of being eliminated as the invincible giant with the power of a thousand stars.

MISCELLANEOUS GUIDE
SO YOU WANT TO JOIN...
About ten people will be entered at once. I will close the thread to new entrances after three days or so. You have a chance to be entered once someone dies, but it will follow my order, no requests. You may also PM me, but only get one chance to impress at that point. I will PM you to confirm you want in before you are entered, whether by beginning entrance or someone dying.
Any changes to your character are fair game, as long as you notify me in some way, and it's before we begin. Note that this can change your place in the lineups.

SO YOU GOT IN...
-If you join, do not go inactive. This will result in you dying and not being allowed into the next RP. Thank you. If you plan on going dark, and wish to die honorably rather than be killed by my twisted thoughts, PM me. I'll kill you in any manner you want.
-Do not clue others in on your or others' intentions, especially via PM or visitor message. This is both unfair and unlike what I want the RP to be like. The only acceptable PM use is during the group switching times, during which you can talk about the advantages and disadvantages of switching.
-Any action in your posts should not include the outcome of your action, unless it is very simple and non-combat related. For example:
"I jumped to my ally and cut the monster's head off!" should instead be "I jumped to my ally and attempted to cut the monster's head off!"
But "I said picked up the jar and sat it back down" would be fine since it's not combat related.
-I will attempt to make your luck via dice, so no unfairness here. I won't kill you straight off though, even if the dice tell me to do so.
-Don't make actions for other players without their consent. Don't try and make yourself the main star of the story, it's not just about you.
-Keep in mind, you only know what happens around you. If someone kills someone before they meet you, you can't just kill them from suspicion. You need to literally see it. This means reading posts on a different group and making your character act upon them is a faulty thing to do.
-Try your best to avoid reading posts by me directed at other people than yourself.
-If you create dialogue, please make sure to identify it as dialogue. Dialogue should be an important part of every action; combat, group switching, and even traveling.
-Do not break the flow of your character, meaning, if you are a coward the entire time, and have no personal quirk that changes that, you may not go berserk.
-Repeated breaking this part of the guide will get you killed.

SO YOU PERFORMED A COMBAT ACTION...
-I will decide your success by the planning and stratagem of your action.
-Stupidity without backup and strength will certainly lead to a terrible fate.
-Some situations will lead to injuries that will hamper you in the future unless you come across a healer for your ail.
-Sometimes luck will save you in a bad situation.
Sub-rule: YOU ATTACKED ANOTHER PLAYER...
-Both of your fates will be decided by a combination of matchup strength, powers, the element of surprise, and timing. (All of which will be judged by me.)
-If all of the above come out as even, you may both die, or both live.
Sub-rule: YOU KILLED SOMETHING...
-Feel free to loot it, although I decide what you get in the end. You may hope for something in your loot search, which I may grant you.
-If it's a player, feel free to take all of their stuff. You may misoperate their stuff and die as well.

SO YOU DIDN'T GET IN...
-Just wait. You may be next to get in.
-Keep up with the thread, I'm sure it'll entertain someone not participating.
-If you PM me, I'll send you your ranking. Remember I'm happy to accommodate, but if you are mad about your spot, it's your fault for not trying/thinking hard enough, not mine for judging.

SO YOU'RE LATE...
-Send me a PM with your character. I may put you on the ranking list.
-Make it good, one PM is all you get.

SO YOU DIED...
-Maybe someone will revive you. Otherwise, you have no further ability to affect the outcome of the RP.
-Do not be salty, much less a king of salt, if and/or when you die. Any future RP's from me will not include you.
-There also may be mass revivals if nobody else joins the RP. Revivals would follow the first death to the last.

WHAT I DO
-I keep the RP flowing, providing situations and happenings to advance the plot. I will attempt to make these situations surmountable, as it is no fun to fight an immovable object.
-I make the final decision on outcomes of actions and fights.
-The direction of the RP is mainly indicated by me, but players will definitely have some control.
- I thought I wouldn't have to put this, but apparently I do. I will restore order if people decide to interrupt or break rules. I will also permanently remove people from my RP's if I have to rectify them several times.

I'm a little teapot XD

i'll probably start it within the next four days, once I get enough sign ups. Also, *to be said in a menacing voice* what are your fears?

Sweet.

Fixed it.

HEY EVERYONE. TRY TO AVOID CHATTING HERE AT ALL COSTS TO PREVENT PEOPLE'S ENTRIES FROM LOSING THEIR PRIORITY. THANK YOU.

WARNING: I've been told my RP skills are "Amazing" XD

I'm a little tepot... Short and stout! Here is my handle and here is my spout! (Sorry, couldn't resist...)
I would like to join! Here's my man!

Name: Adam Samael

Lol, I love band wagoners.
This is just like 6 months ago, when Angel Feather was still running and everyone was like, "Jump on the hype train!!!"
Why couldn't you take your time to make everything, I mean everything, yourself?
Good luck, Mr. "Imma completely copy Veir's form btw. Luv u, Veir."

Thanks Haru. I did this not because of band wagoning, but because I'm bored waiting for somebody to die. :D (Next time, don't do this on my thread, at least take it to my PM box, where you don't bother anyone but me.)

I'm totes gonna join. But gimme a sec to draw up everything cause I want to be needlessly specific.

Edit: I'm done.

Character Name: Para the scarecrow



Appearance:








Also, I'm a little teapot. That's kinda it.

Quote from ErrorBlender

I'm pretty sure there was an unspoken rule that we have to wait for one RP to die before we make a new one. Like how forum games can't be made simultaneously and we wait turns.

Of course with games that are small its fine if another overlaps but with RPs, they are massive and tend to stay much longer. I'm not discouraging this thread's existence, I'm merely saying that it should wait for the first RP to finish.

Oh really? That's a damn shame, I was just about to post mine right now. How do RP end? People always tend to make them last about 3 months.

Its kind of the reason why we don't see two RPs at the same time or an RP at all [they became numerous when they first arrived here then it consumed the General Forum O_O]. RPs end when the campaign ends or when the thread master decides to pull the plug.

You can still join he's basically just saying that there is no point in having other RPs if there already is one because there so popular. But when it comes to RPs like these where only a few amount of people are invited, it kinda sucks because the people that miss out our kinda just sitting bored, watching. That's why I think it's a good idea to have more than one. Or even a section dedicated to RP.

I made this for the people who missed out on Veir's RP, I'm going to run it for their sake, unless there is a written rule, I think it'll be fine. I, myself, did not make the cut, and realize that others who now see Veir's may feel bored and wish to join something similar. And so, to anyone who was turned off by ErrorBlender (I don't wish to ignore your words, but I feel as if it will turn out alright), feel free to post your character.
