Iyandalar: (sign-up)
I've been writing fan-fics about this thing for a while now. And I DID have a book published involving one of the stories....but it wasn't exactly widely known, ya' know?
Iyandalar is a very large planet. At least the size of Jupiter, possibly bigger. In short, it. Is. HUGE. At least 70% of it is covered in water, resulting in some gigantic oceans. Wildlife in Iyandalar is divided into two categories. 1)Feral (what we have here on Earth) and 2) Valkyries. (Super-natural basically) Now, Iyandar used to be divided into several different planets that were each various time moments in Earth's history, and one world that is known solely as "Hell." Now, sometime during the 41st century, after the two most advanced had experienced apocalypses, something happened. What exactly happened is not known, but something sure as hell happened. In the space of one night, all the planets were merged. Also, the increased ammounts of solar winds and chemicals and such created a new energy source. This was dubbed magic because a human mind could shape it into whatever it wished. After everyone figured out which side their butt was on, and figured out that there was now monsters rampaging about, that magic existed, and that everything era of earth was present, things got sorted out. Everything kinda' blurred together. Now anything and everything seems to exist. Everything seems possible. And, one thing is known. Its known that a strong core of gravity was part of the reason for the merge of the planets, but its not known from where because the most technologically adept never found anything. Basically, something planned it all. Characters can have ANYTHING. Just on a side note though, every character I ever came up with for this wasn't based around some sort of "OMG THIS SKEEL WOULD BE SPMMY!" Every character is based around being quirky, and (for lack of a better description) having style. Anyone can picture somebody rampaging around a ferry, shooting. But how many people can picture some one backflipping off the second level of a ferry to do a dive, then looking into the first level mid-fall, and using up their only bullet to set off a bomb. While they're upside down and straining their neck to see it. Sign-up is as follows... Name Age Race (genetic mutations kinda' happened) Profession (what they do for their life) Primary quirk Secondary quirk Biggest weakness Weaponry (and where they keep it all) Stray equipment Transportation (anything from a giant orangutang to a futuristic hovering Kawasaki ninja is allowed) Appearance Quote Known Bio

Uncommonly common.

SO, I'm assuming there's something keeping us from being this solid planet the size of Jupiter from collapsing in on itself?

That's one of the things we shall explore in this RP.
No one really knows ENTIRELY what happened, and very few want to find out. EDIT- That was to answer Stover. Prawns- Not sure what you mean. I mean, a Pyromancer is allowed. But by flame mutation do you mean he IS on fire, or has fire growing out of him, or more like Pyro (from X-Men) and his apparent lack of any flames at all with him.

Sorry. Hit R by accident.
And you mean a Pyromaniac. Yah, that'd be allowed. Might be more than a wee bit hazardous at times. Probably anger many people, but you can do it.

Okay I'm gonna sign up, and tell me if anything's wrong....
[DoubleEdit] Name:Scott "The Thunder" Dragoon Age:21 Race: Elven Profession: Warrior Mercenary Primary quirk:Likes steel weapons Secondary quirk: Doesn't like too much technology Biggest weakness: People who backstab him. He gets very emotional Weaponry: Firebrand and Electric Spear Stray equipment: Red Cape with haste capabilities, purple armor, green helm, spiked guantlents, leather greaves, a used spoon, and a magic scroll Transportation: Hoverbike with extra cargo space. Not fast, but not slow. Appearance: Moderately tall, elven appearence, long silver hair, buff chest, wears hsi armor (except his helm) at all times, usually has a tunic wrapped around himself. Quote: Come if you want, but I'm no babysitter. Known Bio: Wandering mercenary around the planet, hiring his skills to the common folk. His parent died from a mass slaughter attack on his village ages ago. He was recently at war with goblin-monster like folk with other warriors and triumphed, yet accepted no glory. He was once actively part of an army for his region and made a corporal, yet quit only after two years of service. He has no friends, for he chooses to have none, except only when he is in dire need. His father was once highly regarded as an technological genius and trained Scott to become like him. Scott has always been avoiding the path of prosperity, for he knows that one day, it will all mean nothing.

Try to limit yourself down to one generalized era thing.
Also, most of your weaponry ISN'T WEAPONRY.
