[X] My Assistant

[Mercutio3]

Since Zeven dug this up... Why not turn this into a RP, finally? Ok. Here goes.

You've sat around all school year at your Middle School/High School. Pretty boring stuff. But you've been researching around, one particular idea fascinates you; eternal life. Think about it-in a few hundred years, you'd be a living treasure! You could tell people about the stuff of today, stuff that otherwise would've been lost in history! You can experience things none of today's living population will get to experience! Now that it's finally Summer, you can't wait to go on a world trip to find out the secret to living forever. You've narrowed it down to a few select locations that might hold the key. Maybe you've been saving up for years, maybe you're parents are filthy rich and don't care what you do. But you're going to be young forever. That's your goal.

THE CAVE
The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, located in St. Augustine, Florida. Seemingly a tourist trap on the outside, it masks a complex cave system. The labyrinth is so hard to navigate, one might even compare it to Daedalus' labyrinth from Greek mythology; it almost seems...ever-changing. This cave has dripping stalactites all over and filthy underground air that is not quite cold, but has some sort of indescribable chill to it. The cave houses all sorts of cute little critters that you would not want coming out of your closet, and is undoubtably enchanted. Various diseases, including ones labeled as 'non-communicable' and pathogens unknown to modern science, seem to carry on the very cold, damp air of said underground maze. Why would anybody want to venture to such a place...?! Oh yes, that's right. Immortality, of corse.
Known Species: Dragon
Known Ailments/Injuries: Panic Attacks, Fainting, Hyperventilation, Headaches, Dizziness

THE FIELD
A mysterious large grassy field that is connected to the cave. It is (almost) infinitely large, and upon looking in any direction when you enter, all you will see is grass with the occasional rare tree and the place where the cave was exited. If one has rotten luck, the cave entrance will disappear, trapping them until a new one pops up. The field also contains two nasty side effects, however. Tiredness. The longer one stays, the sleepier they get. Each person gets tired at a different rate, and some lucky people will not feel it at all. Sleeping will only minimally help. The other joy of this place would be amnesia. The longer one stays, the more that is forgotten. However, this works at a much slower rate than the tiredness, and affects EVERYBODY. An average human being would have to stay in for about one human year for their memory to be wiped completely clean, down to forgetting how to speak, eat, and breathe (obviously causing a tragic death) (yes, this means even basic human survival instincts are forgotten). They'd probably be ever-sleeping at that point, however. So anyone who ventures in should have little to worry about, memory-wise. Just get out before a year goes by. Wait a minute... like the mast majority of magical places, time flows differently here than on Earth, so...!
Known Species: Rodents (Mice, Rabbits, etc)
Known Ailments/Injuries: Sleepiness, Memory Loss

Other (Optional):

1) Because I am sometimes busy, Zeven is co-owner of this RP. So if he accepts you or such, you're good to go.
2) Swearing, violence, and romance is allowed. In fact, I look forward to lots of fight sequences and such. And when I say romance, I mean all except 'adult content' if you know what I mean.
3) if u tlk liek dis in ur sign up post, I will terminate you. Grammar doesn't have to be perfect, in fact I'm the world's worst speller. But if you attempt to post in text talk, I will make Zeven shun you. And if you are Zeven and you post in text talk... just get out. Right now.
4) Please post AT LEAST once a week or so. If you are going to be gone for any reason, please let Zeven or I know, and you can either let your character(s) be, or delegate that somebody else take them over for the time being. Below is a story summary that will be updated as frequently as possible, however if it is not fully up-to-date it is your responsibility to catch up the rest of the way upon returning.
5) Don't be an asshole to other RPers. There's a difference between having a character that is an overall jerk to other characters and being rude to the other RPers.
6) Bunnying is probably my biggest pet peeve in Role Playing. Please, do not take over anyone else's characters, even if it's only to deflect a sword or such, unless the person specifically delegates the character to you.
7) No Godmoding either. In other words, don't put anything like "[My character] then killed [someone else's character]" or anything. This sometimes goes hand in hand with bunnying. Don't make your character be impossibly strong or such, everybody loses sometimes.
8) Although this originates on Earth, magic, weapons, and monsters are present. Perhaps traveling to other planets will even be necessary to find eternal life! Also note that just because magic and monsters will be in the RP does not mean your character(s) believe in them at the beginning...
9) In your sign-up post, you may make up to two characters. After you start RPing (I'm going to randomly throw out... 3 thoughtful posts?) you can make another, if you can handle three total characters. Making one and sticking to him/her the whole time is completely acceptable too.
10) Follow all the site rules I didn't echo, of corse.
11) Post a Pichu smiley in your post somewhere.

NPCs are, in the case of this RP, characters that do not have a full profile (they are not that major) but are not simply one-time debuts (they are not that minor). Each has a short summary, and are ongoing through the story. Instead of being completely non-playable or playable only by the owners, they are playable by all accepted members- yes, that means if your name if on the list, even if you haven't created a character for yourself yet, you can still RP as an NPC while you work on your own character's profile. If you think that another NPC would make the RP better, use the NPC form below to request another NPC active in the RP. The active NPC(s) are: Haithel, Alizore.

Name: Haithel
Gender: Male
Age: Roughly 8 years
Species: Hybrid Dragon
Personality/Short History/Appearance: Haithel, without anyone to follow, is very volatile and hard to control. However, he is very subordinate to Maria, the first living being he saw when he hatched. He is 8"6' with irregular growing patterns, no doubt because of being a mutt and living in the cave's enchanted air. His scales are a dark green with blue spots, and he has beady red eyes with undersized wings and mangled claws. Overall, he is not the most appealing or friendly thing to look at. He cannot yet breathe fire-the best he can do is steam- and is slow, but he is still not the most favorable opponent in battle. The size and teeth are currently the greatest worries of his foes. He also has some telepathic abilities, and may read emotions and thoughts if the subject is not careful.
Other: N/A

Name: Alizore
Gender(F,M, or N/A): Female
Age (if relevant): Unknown
Species: Enchanted Dire Wolf
Personality/Short History/Appearance (Include battle info, if any): Her fur changes colors form white to silver to black. She stands around an enormous 9 feet tall. Dire wolves were thought to be long extinct, so it is unknown how this one arrived in the 21st century. Originally she was Shadow's partner, but Brid forced Shadow to hand her over to Cole. She is more fond of the group as a whole than Haithel (who just sticks to Ri), however.

Maria, Gemini, and Tyler all met at the Fountain of Youth Archaelogical Park in St. Augustine, Florida, right in front of the supposed Fountain of Eternal Youth.
Tyler showed Gemini and Maria the note from her friend that apparently holds the key to the first step, and they began decoding it.
The note held an enchanted password that turned the fountain into a hole leading into a supposedly underground cave which Maria, Gemini, and Tyler plunged into.
The cavern below split into two paths. Faced with the choice between a narrow path on the left and a wider path on the right, the three headed left with Gemini leading, Cole in the middle, and Ri following behind.
Milo, who had been following from the shadows, finally presented himself to the three others.
Gemini and Milo formed an instant distaste for each other, while Ri developed a crush.
However, their meet and greet did not last, as from the shadows charged a sickly hybrid dragon that was not fully grown, angry and fueled for a fight.
Milo and Cole had been about to take it down together, when Cole suffered some sort of panic attack or something of the likes and fainted. Defeating the dragon or finding a viable escape route seems to fall on Milo's shoulders now.
Luckily, upon further inspection, the dragon was Haithel, a good friend of Maria's.
Jean tracked down the group to return them to the surface. An instant rivalry formed between Jean and Cole.
Much to Tyler's displeasure, Jean decided to come with them, and they began walking again.
They ran into Zack, and Jean instinctively attacked. One barely-missing deadly boomerang and racist insult later, Zack revealed herself as "Zery" and made no commitments to whether or not she was joining them, or even seeking immortality, undoubtably due to her heavy mistrust of the kids.
Driven by her irritation, Jean began wailing a horrific inuit song, until Zery pounced at her. Although Jean sidestepped, it still caused her singing to cease, revealing the second threatening noise it had been covering- that of an upcoming flood.
Tyler decided to wait for the others to flee before she herself would.
In an act of panic, she watched Ri, Haithel, Jean, and Zery flee, dragging Gemini. She hoped Milo was following close behind, but at the top of the rock staircase Zery had come down that they had ran to, Milo was not there.
In the face of Milo's death, Cole began crying (which she has never done before within memory) and Zery attempted to dive down and search, but was held back by the others. A boulder now stood between the group and escape.
After an explosion and a lot of punching (and scratching from Haithel), the boulder finally collapsed. The group stepped into a field-like location that was not the park. A wave of tiredness instantly swept over Cole and she fell asleep. Jean found that they were in West Virginia according to Zery's phone, but Tyler's phone said some odd country they'd never heard of. It is unknown if one of their phones is acting up, or they aren't at either place.
The gang traveled through Jean's pocket-portal back to her RV, which was being hijacked.
Jean wailed, it crashed, and Eric almost picked a death-match fight with Matt. Then something exploded.
Everybody piled into Jean's RV again, and Jean began driving to a gardening store to make fertilizer bombs.
Ri started crying over Milo's apparent death, and Cole comforted her and sang her to sleep.
Eric began hitting on Tyler, which she coldly rejected.
Tyler introduced Matt to everybody.
Jean got the supplies and made Cole, who did not even have her temps, drive the RV down a rural road.
Gemini and the others decided to hide for the time being, and Tyler suggested going to her cousin's house, south of Charleston, South Carolina, to hide.
Jean and Gemini quickly agreed, for the sake of not sharing the RV's beds with Zery and Cole respectively.
Upon arrival, Gemini met Brook, who had been waiting for them with a list of their names- she, too, wanted to find immortality.
A stoned Jean, who had been smoking, nearly set Brook on fire due to her assumption of Brook being an elf due to her green hair.
Brook then disappeared and followed Shadow and Tyler into Tyler's cousin's mansion.
Shadow abruptly then asked Tyler out in the doorway of the mansion, which she refused, trying to be gentle.
Shadow, however, did not take this as softly. He revealed himself as a dark elf by casting a spell to transfer his anxiety to the already-stressed Cole.
Brook turned invisible and hid, while Jean began threatening Shadow, ready for a fight. Meanwhile, Cole fell to her knees, beginning to have visions of being rejected by Gemini. Her fictional visions of Gemini hating her then turned to realistic flashbacks of Ri trusting her.
A large dire wolf (Alizore) leaped out of the woods, and Shadow tamed it.
Brid showed up, claiming Shadow had illegally crossed territories without permission, and forced him to give Alizore to Cole. She also put a leash on Shadow.
Brid force-changed, and went down to the kitchen. She nearly attacked Jean and Shadow (not being herself), but Shadow caged her.
Ri, who had been in her room, heard gunshots from outside.
She alerted Shadow (who had gone to the kitchen for a midnight snack) and he ventured outside, pointing a gun at the mysterious armed man.
Brid turned up and told him to put the gun down, politely asking the man who he was.
Tyler, unable to sleep, took a stroll through the halls. She found Casey locked in a closet, and broke down the door to let him out.
Casey and Tyler heard the gunshots as well, and ran down to meet the others.
Shadow and Brid went inside, and the ghost revealed himself to the gang as 'Ed'.
Shadow's mother then emerged from the bushes, asking for 'Eric'.

Let me know if I forgot anything.

[Holy Roman Empir...]

I had an OOc with the same name, which is why this one caught my eye. Mine died before anyone could join, so I'd like to see where this one goes. I like plot 2. It seems to give more leeway in ideas.

[purple umbreon]

I also like plot 2. I'm not sure about joining.
I never really tried roleplaying.

Oh sorry, not trying to steal your RP or anything... And how could I make Plot 1 better?

You should definitely try it. Even if it's not this one. If you like writing, it's pretty much writing, except with multiple people. And if you like video games you'll probably like RPing also, because it's also similar to video games, but with more imagination, plus it's yours.

[Holy Roman Empir...]

It's understandable. It happens to me all the time actually.
Well, we could be the bad guys and have random good guys try to show us a bright side to immortal life? Not sure.
On the second one it could be similar to Indiana Jones where we have to find some artifact or something and try not to die along the way. And there could be others trying to get the artifacts first and some get captured and have to break free and finish the search for (insert artifact here).

[Mercutio3]

That sounds pretty good! Maybe we should have one or two specific people be the 'bad guys' that are also looking for the artifact, and setting up obstacles? Or maybe instead the Plot 1 people realize there are people trying to get the artifact, and try to stop them so they don't suffer living forever too?

[Forceman]

I think that the second idea should be the RP, and the first should be a sequel, with the RPers searching for a way to die.

[Holy Roman Empir...]

That ^
Perfect Idea.

[Mercutio3]

I like it too, but I'd want to know at least 3 other people would join before I start sign ups. Also, tomorrow I leave for a camp. I'll be back Saturday.

[Forceman]

@HRE: Yah, I really need to get back into decent RPing, having dwelled in n00bland Short-A ball TPM for a while. However, it's down ATM.

I'll be going to Idaho next week (so exotic), but I might be on at night with the help of hotel internets. Also, my mom's cellphone can double as a Wi-Fi hotspot.

[Ashallayn]

I would Join It sounds Like It would be fun!! I LOve Cave Story's Idea.

[Zeven]

I'd like to join. The second story plot seems more interesting to me, Sarah, so yeah.

[The Winnebago]

Hey I'll join this if it gets off the ground, yeah.

[colourcodedchaos]

This looks pretty interesting, and therefore I'm definitely signing up. =]

[Aura Dynasty]

Yup sounds fun too, I'll join as soon as Sarah got online again xp

[Mercutio3]

Awesome, Aura. No, I'm not dead XD You're both accepted, so post your characters when you can... I still have to finish the drawing for mine, which may take a while (as in maybe 4 days-ish) to do, or maybe not, I have no idea when inspiration will come to me. And even then, my 3DS Wi-FI likes messing up my life, so... maybe I should just do a description in words...!

[Jikota]

Is this RP still open? I'd like to join

[Mercutio3]

This RP hasn't started yet, and I probably won't close sign-ups, so long as people can catch up themselves. It will start when three characters total are made, since we currently have four people have been accepted including myself, but nobody has made any characters yet. I'll see if I can post my character tonight... I'm probably just going to end up with a written description and add in the picture later.

[Aura Dynasty]

Where do I find a freakin pichu smiley?

I'll put this first and the SU comes in soon xp

[angelthekitty]
