S-cry-ed intrest. *Spoliers my be contained within*
 

So I just finished watching S-cry-ed and I'm hooked so now I want more. What better way than an RP. Here's the lowdown:

Many many years, perhasp 40-50, after the series ends Alter powers have become common place in the Lost Grounds with nearly 40% of people being born with them. Not to be out done those on the main land have developed powerfull technologies and weapons to combat alter powers. These technologies are "supposed" to be a last resort defenisve measure should an alter user become dangerous and out of control. Some factions on both sides would rather just directly attack each other and be done with it. Still most people have come to accept alter users and most alter users stay in the Lost Grounds so there is no real reason for war. This keeps a very tense peace that always seems to be on the verge of collasping.

Alter users are people that have the ability to go beyond human limits by calling on their Alter power. Their Alter power allows them to manipulate the matter around them into a new form and to use that to fight. Of course not all atlers are created equal and not all are even visiable. Some alters are giant robots, or small ones, some are just strange looking machines or even animal like. Others simply attach to and augment their user's body like an armor, usually not covering all the users body till the third stage and sometimes the second. Some alters don't fight but rather gather infromation while others can take control of the weaker willed and a few can even heal at the cost of great pain to the person using the alter. As there is no set size some alters are huge while others are easly hidden on a person. Be wary though because size does not always mean an advantage. Indeed some of the smaller alters exhibit great power.

Now most alter powers have 3 forms. A normal form that is easy to call up and relatively week. All alter users have the ability to call upon this form of their alter. (Once they learn they are alter users.) There is a second form which is much more powerfull but requires great scarfice and extreme emotion to access for the first time. After that it become easier to call upon but extracts a price. Controlling that much power is draining and sometimes can cause a persons body to slowly start to literally fall apart after repeated use/abuse of their alter. The third and final form is most extreme and few alter users ever obtain it. Rumors about how this is done abound and most don't believe any of them. A few people still hold that if an alter user channels enough power and enough emotion that alter user can break down the barrier that leads to the world where all alters come from. That alter user can then access their alter's third complete form.

I figure I'll leave the option open for people to play either and alter user or a mainlander with a lot of nifty gadgets. Like maybe a power suit or some kind or what ever the person happens to come up with. Pretty much any technology you can think of would work.

For more background on the series pay a visit to here. Either that or you could search for it on your own. I'd add it in here but then this would get much longer than I want it to be.

I'd be interested, heh.

After some consideration I have decided to gp slightly free form but with story elements interjected maybe once a chapter or every two chapters. It should end up looking a bit like a normal anime series with a story going on in the back ground while the characters live their lifes. As such individual rpers will be given lee way to create their own situations and interact how they wish. (The limit being if it would get in the way of the stoy line, in which case I'll say something.) Of course you also have to be carefull not to godmod in fights you make up and in fights with other Rpers.

Also, I haven't decided if it'll start off with everyone having a second form alter or not. I may just make that the subject of the first thread. It'll be a nice intro to the whole rp.

You are my hero, I love this anime. If it gets started I'm in.

As do I which is why I really want to get this going. I will be fighting tooth and nail to get this going and will run it with as litte as 4 rpers counting me. (In that case I'll probably turn control over to the group and we'll kind of collectively decide what happens next.)

To continue on about the partial freeform idea. Those who sign up need not be in any kind of group with anyone else. There is plenty of room for everything from fiendly rivialries to opposing factions. (If it stays civil. So yes you could play a villian but the line between the good and bad sides won't be clear.) You can form up in squads of 4 or such like Holy or you can roam like Kazuma and Kimishima(I must have just slaughtered that name spelling wise.)

I'm in.

Fuzzy. Guess what, dude. You're my rival.

We're going to be rivals, and duel constantly. And then, when the story puts enemies there to interfere with our duels, we'll team up and do some serious team ass-kicking.

Here is an example of an alter power I'll probably be using on a character(note I will be down in the trenches too because it'll make more sense then continuosly pushing in random alter users from out of no where).

Alter name: The Unseen Doors

1st form: A thin silverish metal covers the users hands and feet to just past the first joint. This adds protection and increases the users strength, speed, and agility. It also allows them to safely travel through portals the user opens that transport the limb long distances. This allows the user to strike another user from a distance and from unexpected angles. Additionally the user has one sword like blade that extends from the back of his hand while preforming his alter's special attack. This attack increases the force of his strike and can cause a small explosion after which the blade used disappears.

2nd form: The armor extends upward to just bast the second joint of the respective appendage. (Knees on his legs and elbows on his arms.) The metal also forms a close fitting helmet with a visor. In this form the user can move his whole body small distances through one of his portals. This becomes progressively harder to do the more he uses it. He aslo gains is second special attack where he transports his whole body as far as he can his limbs. He reaches above his head while doing so and fuses his hands together forming a powerfull club to smash whatever he is fighting. He also gains the ability to regenerate the blades on the back of his hands.

3rd form:The user becomes fully encased in armor and can transport his full body nearly any distance. The blades on the back of his hands can now detach and fly around on their own. Under exterem circumstances the user can combine the two blades into one ornate sword which slices through almost anything and can even cause things to be sliced through from a distance.

Now I'm not expecting sign ups or alter powers just yet. However, if you want to get your alter power out of the way(as it is the biggest part of character creation) that's fine. Also, I didn't bother to use a name for the character because I don't have one right now. Feel free to add a name to the person using your alter power. If your not planing on being an alter user that's ok too. Oh and even though second forms are uncommon and 3rd forms rare make them anyway just in case. We should at least get to 2nd form powers. Finally don't be afraid to suggest stuff I'm open to pretty much anything.

I do so enjoy S-cry-ed...

Alter Name: Quakers

1st Form: This alter is a rather innocent looking rubber ducky almost the size of a basketball. But this odd duck has a rather powerful secret hidden within, a powerful squeeze upon the cute little creature creates a huge sonic blast, the wake of its blast is powerful enough to knock most down while the noise itself is ear shattering. (Ever see that batman beyond with the guy known as Shriek.)

2nd Form: The second form combines the alter's power of sound with the user more fully as it becomes a duck shaped megaphone which morphs anything the user says into a somewhat humorous donald duck impression. The alter has various settings which allows for incredible range in control, from a whisper to once person miles away to a devastating shockwave.

I'm torn between playing a cute little kid or a teenager who hates the alter he created as a child.

I call naive, nice guy who fights with a smile on his face and a song in his heart! Man, Sidarth, I was thinking about starting a S-cry-ed RP in July, but decided against it. I am so in. I'd like to ask, though, if I don't post for two days, someone PM me. I usually keep up with RPs through subscription, and it's let me down before.

EDIT: Oh, and I have a character and alter in mind, but I'll save'em for when you make a sign-up.

S-car-ed EDIT: Kay, since everyone else posted their alter, I guess I will. I just need to refine it a bit, as the original was far to similar to Straight Cougar's Radical Good Speed shoes.

Alter: Manticore's Claw

Stage 1: Forms paw-like shoes on the user's feet. A small cushion of air keeps the shoes from ever hitting the ground. This allows the user to walk great distances without the normal foot pain. It's not a very strong alter, but it can be maintained for days at a time and is easy to summon. In times of great need, the user can greatly increase the air cushion, allowing for a very high jump or a burst of horizontal speed. The alter is consumed in the process, leaving landing and stopping up to the user's un-aided strength.

Stage 2: The shoes gain stronger jets, allowing the user to jet and jump in the same manner as stage one's desperation move. The user also gains claw-like gloves, small gliding-wings, and a spiked tail. These can all be used for slashing attacks. In addition to these slashing attacks, the tail can fire several exploding quills. As a desperation move, the user can use all the alter's energy at once, spiraling into a literal, F-4 tornado of claws, air, quills, and debris. This move obviously puts a great strain on the user, leaving him a dizzy, aching mess once it's finished. This move can be reigned in to lesser whirlwinds, leaving lesser destruction and less wear on the user. The alter is almost always consumed by this move, regarldes of it's severity.

Stage 3: (Since we probably won't get here, I'll put a simple "Giant Robo-Manticore" here and elaborate if I need to.)

Name: Seraphim

1st Form: His alter takes the form of twin blades and a golden headband that holds his hair out of his eyes. The swords are named Dawn and Dusk. Dawn is held in the left hand. It's made of a white metal, and increases the wielder's speed, agility, and defensive skills. Dusk is held in the right hand. It's made of a black metal, and increases the wielder's strength, force, and offensive skills. His super attack in this form has him grow a pair of gray wings on his back, allowing him to fly forward at incredible speeds at his opponent and strike hard with his swords. The wings disappear after the attack.

2nd Form: In this form, Seraphim's swords change from Dawn and Dusk to Day and Night. The swords become a foot longer, and are so keen, they can cut through all but the densest of materials. The enhancements the swords give to the wielder are increased. Day has a golden sheen now, with rubies imbedded along the hilt. Night has gained a silver sheen, and emeralds are placed on the hilt. Also, it seems that the swords gain wills of their own. Day is either defensive or swift killing, causing as little pain to the target as possible. Night is purely offensive, trying to kill or maim as much as possible. The physical changes to Seraphim himself is that he now has wings protruding from his back for the duration of the change, not just for a super attack. The left wing is pure white and made of the softest feathers. The right wing is dark colored and scaly, like a dragon's wing. The golden headband surrounds the eyes, and two small horns are found on his forehead. His hair turns long and white. The super attack in this form is like the first form, only instead of affecting just the target, the attack travels through the target and damages everything a distance behind it.

3rd Form: In this form, Seraphim's long white hair goes down to his ankles, and the golden headband turns into a golden mask. The small horns on his forehead become large and crooked. (Think of Hellboy's horns when he turns into a devil king, only keep out the fiery crown.) His body is covered in a hard armor. The left side of the armor is white and shiny, while the right side of the armor is dark and twisted. (Seeing a pattern here?) Day and Night change yet again. The hilts of the two swords are connected and they become 'Twilight', a double ended sword. The wings look the same, but only larger. The super attack for this form is that a group of enemies are captured in a sphere of light. The sphere is then filled with large spikes of dark energy. Then, for those who managed to survive even that, Seraphim combines highly concentrated forms of light and darkness, creating antimatter within the barrier. Any matter within the light barrier is almost instantly erased.
