Forces of Nature
There exists a world called Valeria, where many a great thing can happen. It is much like our world, save a few minor... Differences. A small percentage of the world controls the magic of the Animus, their powers based around their animal spirits. The government over the lands has harnessed this power in many troops and made them into soldiers, the elite warriors known as "AniMagi". But the government has grown corrupt, the newest world leaders using this power to suit their own means, rather than that of the people. Few Animus users exist who have rebelled against the AniMagi, even fewer of them alive. But a select group will soon emerge... A group that will shift the rebellion's tides... and shape the future of Valeria...
Characters will have one Animus spirit to call their own, mythical creatures inclusive. Their Animus also grants them slight elemental control, as aligned to the creature's affinity. (i.e. if you use a phoenix, your element would logically be fire)
Animus users, ridiculous as it may seem, will all be human. Weapons are a given, as we don't want too many fights focusing solely on power bases, but still... No OP vampires that can control Phoenix souls with the elemental power of fire. Etc. If you play Animus user, you play human.
This is not to say that one could not play another race, of course. If you choose to play something else, go for it. Perhaps your character's racial group is under attack by the government, as well. (i.e. Werewolves being hunted as unnatural creatures that must be "dealt with accordingly".)
Weapons will consist of the usuals for one of my RPs. Guns, blades, etc. No gunblades this time, though, as I'm afraid I'll overkill the old FFVIII feel if I keep that up.
Otherwise, any questions, please feel free to PM me.
So far, we have the following:

(I want to revive an old rp, but I think it was originally in hosted, oh well, here is my attempt)The Rebellion
We all know about Max and the flock, and erasers. But what about the other experiments the school created? What purpose did they serve? Was max the school’s only opponent? No, she was not. The School had a much bigger enemy, one out to destroy the school. What’s the problem with that? Well, they are out to get the school because the school is their competition! The company is called Black Angel. Black Angel has created many experiments to beat The Schools, like Vampire Experiments (human + vampire bat) to destroy the Erasers. They create mythical type experiments, like Dragons, Elementals, and more. They do just as many horrible tests on its experiments, if the experiments become too wild, they place them in what is called stats. When an experiment is in stats, it is put in a state of suspended animation, in tank full of liquids. After a few years in stats, experiments forget most of what they knew, including their original behavior. Some experiments are set free by a group of escaped experiments, called The Rebellion. The Rebellion is headed by Kaida, an albino human/bat/lizard experiment, and Aki, a hawk/snake/human experiment. Their fellow experiments Raidon and Zepher provide the various devices they use to free other experiments, and fight off Black Angel. Suki and his mate Rock teach new experiments self defense.
The Rebellion has made enemies of both The School and Black Angel, they must defend themselves from attack at all times. The rebellion has not only scanners to alert them to an upcoming attack, but also Bots built by Raidon and programmed by Zepher patrolling the house, and sending information to Raidon’s control room

The Rebellion
Cook – the cook will be in charge of all things food and drink, unless Raidon or Zepher says
Otherwise
Residents – Experiments living in the hidden Rebellion hideout, some have various jobs, such as
helping the bots by patrolling the area, or helping control the powers of other experiments either in recovery or living there.
Experiments in recovery – these experiments have been rescued from Black Angel or The
School and are being treated for various conditions they may have, such as malnutrition,
dehydration, or any other physical side effects of the scientist’s bad treatment.Rules

[b]HistoryWelcome to the tale...
...the tale of the Three Worlds
As far back as memory extends, as long as time reaches, there have existed the Worlds. But what is known, and what has been known, is that there were only two. In the beginning, there was Everything, and there was Nothing. Twin Realms, each infinite in scope and power, existed in constant turmoil. One of Creation and one of Destruction, each lashing out with uncontrolled wrath. Nothing could be done for the creatures and beings that existed in the Worlds, caught between the two titans as the realms themselves battled.That is, until one fateful moment when everything changed. It is said that on that day, before days as they are known existed, the Worlds awoke. There was a moment of a calm, a silence that stretched into infinity, and in that moment, the Third World arose. From whence it came remains unknown, but that day all the Worlds were connected, falling into a peace that would stand for all time. The Two Worlds went back to their former states, but the intervention of the Third separated them, so they could no longer do harm upon the other. Eventually, creatures rose upon this Third World, and gave rise to the greatest civilization to exist. It is here, where we stand.
The Worlds
Diem, First World of Creation
Though called the first, Diem was just one of the Two Worlds that existed. It is, as noted, the one which represents Creation. This should not be mistaken for benevolence, however, as while Diem is no longer at war with with the other Worlds, it is still very much at war with itself. This is a place of power, where matter is actually created (physics can take a hike at this point,) only to be blasted apart by the constant surges of energy it produces. Fire, lightning, and pure kinetic force lash out in all directions, while massive quantities of raw iron and other materials are formed and thrown across the distance. This is not a nice place.
Creatures: That is not to say Diem is uninhabited. While it is extremely difficult for life to remain, some creatures exist which may for a certain definition be considered alive. These are the Elementals, sentient constructs of matter or energy that roam around the plane and feed upon their material or energy source of choice. There exists an Elemental for nearly anything imaginable, and they may take the form of almost any creature imaginable, if not just a mass of material leading to literally endless combinations. For instance, there may exist a humanoid that is made of fire, or a moving lump of iron, or even an electric mouse. (Basically, Elementals = Pokemon, but it isn't just limited to that)
Magic: As a force of creation, it would be a waste if Diem's power could not be put to use. To that end, those of the Third World have developed techniques to draw nearly anything they wish from Diem, in effect creating and forcing specific objects or powers into existence. The users of these techniques are known as Starforgers. They are able to take advantage of Diem's nature, guiding the creation process and drawing completed items from nowhere, or directly drawing from Diem's energy. A Starforger might bring in fire for an attack, force to move an object, or even stone and metal for building. All items brought in this way are permanent, and do not fade on their own. A sword created by a Starforger, for instance, will not fade, even if broken. One of the few things Starforgers cannot create is life, however.
A second form of Starforging, is that of infusion, giving certain properties to objects to make them more effective. A flaming sword is one example of an item drawing fire from Diem, or an infused quiver or magazine, designed to produce a continuous amount of arrows or bullets, respectively, creating effectively infinite ammunition.Void, Second World of Destruction.
Quite simply, Void does not exist. It is the opposite of existence, a null World that consumes and destroys all. Like the First World, it should not be mistaken for malevolence. It has a purpose, one to do away with the excess of the First World, to keep it from growing too large. No matter, no energy exists here, and it drains such things from whatever enters it. It also reaches out to the Third World, drawing from it as well.
Creatures: Void is similar to the First World in that its creatures are not precisely alive, as such. In fact, Void is known as the home of those known as the Voidcursed, or Undead. Vampires, Zombies, Ghosts, and other such beings of death. Their existence in Void hinges upon their connection to it, something known as the Hunger. It protects them from its ravages, but also inflicts upon them a need to consume which is specific to each type. Vampires, of course, require blood, and Zombies consume flesh of any kind. Ghosts often go for spiritual energy. Most Undead do not actually reside in Void, but leave for either the First or Third Worlds, where they may feed. There also exist Elementals, but they, too, are cursed by the Void. The are not as limited in what they consume, going for whatever they can find, as they are sentient constructs of nothingness.
Magic: Unlike the First World, the techniques for using the Void are not for bringing things out, but throwing things in. The users of these techniques are known as Voidcallers. As the source is a realm of Destruction, Voidcallers are most adept at it. A common use of the power is what can only be described as a "ball of nothing," which can absorb nearly anything it touches, filling itself. Range is limited, however, as it also tends to absorb air and be filled quickly. Voidcallers are often associated with cold and darkness, as well, being a lack of heat and light, respectively. Voidcallers can even inflict the Voidcurse on a dead body, creating an Undead.
Voidcallers are also capable of infusion, turning weapons and other objects into Voidcursed versions, feeding on their victims to increase their lethality. Being connected to Void in such a way sometimes corrodes these objects, consuming them into the Void as well.Gaia, Third World of Shaping.
The primary setting. Gaia is the bridge between the First and Second Worlds, keeping them separate, but also connecting them. It acts to limit them, and to unleash their power (or anti-power, in Void's case.) It is the most hospitable to life, allowing any creature to exist upon it. It is here true life thrives, though life was defined by its creatures. Gaia is the World of Shaping, for its changing nature. The First and Second Worlds do not change, nor do their creatures, at least, without Gaia's influence.
Creatures: All creatures exist in Gaia. Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and [other standard fantasy race]. Anything, really. However, Gaia is also known for its abundance of shapeshifters. Werewolves, dragons, faeries, and things whose true forms are unknown.
Magic: As a World of Shaping, Gaia's magic combines Creation and Destruction and uses it in another way. The techniques developed are designed for Shaping, changing, and transforming. Turning something into another, or simply changing its shape. Users of this are called Transmuters. They might rip open the earth to swallow their enemies, or adjust their own bodies to suit the task at hand. As opposed to Starforgers, who make new things, or Voidcallers, who destroy them, Transmuters work with what it already there, changing it to their advantage.
As with the others, Transmuters can infuse weapons and objects. Most often this manifests as a shapeshifting weapon, but other effects are possible.The Plot
Since the appearance of the Third World, the Worlds were peaceful, each mostly keeping to itself, while drawing on the others for their magic. In a way, this magic became a form of trade, all of it focused on the Third World. Starforgers built great cities, while Voidcallers and Transmuters cleared areas. Transmuters strengthened materials or turned large areas into works of art. Technology advanced quickly as ideas bloomed, and were called into reality instantly. Over time, however, Voidcallers began to prove less and less useful while their association with death and destruction only grew stronger.
The social stigma attached to Voidcallers and the Undead grew worse, and they were force to destroy or kill to feed the Hunger. Fewer and and fewer learned the techniques to utilize the Void, and those that did weren't ready for the Hunger that came with it, as there were so few who could teach the skills necessary to keep the Hunger in check. The Undead were unable to feed freely and began to be consumed by the Hunger. As the Voidcallers dwindled, the Starforgers continued to expand. More and more was being created and there was nothing to remove the excess. The Third World grew and expanded, and became overcrowded. It threatened to collapse under its own weight....That is, until Void awoke once more. Graves erupted with bodies mysterious afflicted by Void's curse, large swaths of ground simply disappeared, and doorways ruptured into nothingness even as Void Elementals poured from them.
Destruction reigned as the Worlds struggled to regain the Balance. Even now Creation is overcome by it's own weight, as Destruction tries to equalize it by any means. It is predicted that Void will be unable to stop under its own power, and should Diem also awaken, the Worlds will be lost in a war millennia in the making. Gaia stirs, and the World shudders, calling out to individuals with great power and skill. Can these beings fight against the Worlds themselves? [/B]
Destiny Orb
Deru was a magical wasteland planet full of dying people and creatures. Until one day a giant light crashed on the planet. The light shined as bright as the sun allowing everyone on the planet to see it before the ground began swallowing it. Before the light was swallowed whole the light shot out billions of smaller lights into the air, the lights then scattered across the planet. As the small lights flew across the planet life began to grow turning the wasteland into a beautiful place. Tree's and plants flourished, rivers flowed and life was restored to the planet. The orbs landed all over the planet. One was discovered by a man named Manfred Von Karma an adventurer, strong fighter and scientist. Von Karma could feel the powerful energy from the orb, it then began to consume his mind. The power from the orb made him want more . Von Karma began experimenting on the orb trying to give it more power and each test began to affecting the creatures of Deru. The creatures of Deru began attacking people forcing them to defend themselves. The power the people possed was barley enough to hold off the creatures. They then decided to try to use the power of the orbs along with their magic and skills to defeat the creatures. The orbs powers made them stronger and allowed them to defeat the creatures. The people of Deru started making weapons that could channel the power of the orb to better defeat the creatures. A year had passed and the creatures were attacking more often until the sky turned gray and the image of a women towered over Deru. The women spoke "I am Makku goddess of Deru and keeper of the Destiny Orb the light that gave your planet light. Your world is in danger of being destroyed by a man named Manfred Von Karma,. He has created the polar equivalent of the Destiny Orb the Desolation Orb. The Desolation Orb is very powerful and dangerous I can not leave to stop him or i would put the safety of the Destiny Orb in Jeopardy. I need your best warriors to venture off and find Von Karma to save your planet and every one on it."

[b]Secrets of Babel
It is the early 20th century and famous explorer Adam O'Donnell has discovered the ruins of the legendary Tower of Babel. Adam on his return journey back to Britain went missing and all his notes with him. The British government, unwilling to let such a find slip through their fingers, decides to put together a search team to find Mr. O'Donnell and find once more the Tower of Babel.Rules
Standard rules apply. No god modding, no bashing, all that good stuff. Also it's the 19th century (1804 to be more precise) so no phones, no planes, you know. Let's try to keep it to the timeline. Also; no magic. No elves. No dwarves. No angels. No demons. You're just a human.Same RP as before just new title

Virus
How exactly do I plug this game? I'm not sure I really want to. I more or less want to run it as a hosted game - me as the gamemaster obviously. But I'm not sure I want to really explain what happens in it. It has to do with computers. And it has to do with You. Everyone basically. You're going to be in it, whether or not anyone actually signs up. I think it would be pretty fun to play a game you had no idea where it was going to take you. But the story will start with you at your computer. Simple as that.
It will be episodic in nature. It will open up more than one thread as the story progresses, and it's a game that will incorporate all types of roleplays. Fantasy, horror, science fiction - but it also takes place in the real world.
The enemies will be varied, and who you play as will change frequently, though your main character will be you. Like who you are in real life. I'm not sure this game will succeed being confided to just kmc, but I haven't the patience to really make my own roleplaying free website and moderating it. I'd need help for that sort of thing. It's too bad though - if I had my own site dedicated just to the game it would probably be more engrossing.
Alot of this is mainly an experiment. Communication between players would extend passed the site - I'd ask for msn messenger names and aim screen names, and the roleplay would grow outside of the forum itself.
The character sheet will be longer than usual, but it won't require any sort of explanations or detailed history and everything. More like "your favorite movie" and things like that. Weird - I know.
Anyways, take it or leave it.
