OMNIA: OOC

[thetoastking]

Imagine a world where nobody is special...

Long ago, in the not-so distant past, a pair of mighty hands guided the universe along it's path. Two beings, Fate and Destiny, were concepts given power by a thought: What if the world could operate in a normal fashion? What if the world could be cyclical?" And so it was. And the world worked, for a while, until it's denizens became aware of the cycle. One day, the universe would be rocked down to it's foundation, and a cycle lasting an eternity would be completely demolished by a great hero. With a mighty power, and help from a being above, he obtained control over the universe, and set it free. This is the universe we live in. This... Is Omnia.

The time now is 100 years after the events of DUONIA. In the large city of kathmandu on the middle continent, there is a large festival to celebrate the day the universe gained independence from itself, aptly called the festival of the hero. Many many people have come seeking excitement or adventure! You arrive via boat to the docks of the great city, when you notice everyone but a select few beings have gone inside. You should probably make it a point to introduce yourself to those characters, as you might just wind up on a crazy adventure with them...

Welcome to Omnia! This is, of course, only a planning thread for an adventure I have coming up. It's an experiment to see what happens when I leave 90% of the adventure to the fans themselves. but, it's not as simple as "pick a human, defy logic, ???, profit." Oh heavens .no. Everything shall be balanced and fair, to ensure that even spectators can get in on this action. After all, they'll be doing the suggesting.

FAQ

What is this?
This is going to be an adventure starring 4-5 people as main characters, and spectators as gods.

How will it work?
Once all the players are picked, I will begin the adventure by PMing the participants, and drawing the intro panels. Each update, the main characters will signal their actions with (>Command), and dialogue with quotation marks. Once all players have made their decisions (or, all the players needed at the time, say X is sleeping or whatever), I will draw the next update, or post the next line of dialogue in response to those commands.

What if I don't make it through selection? Can I still be a part of this adventure?
Yes you can. Anyone not starring will be chosen as a god, to give commands, advice, or other thoughts to the characters. There will be a character guided by me to ensure that your thoughts get listened to and not tuned out.

Omg omg omg! Can we meet X?
Well... Yes. You're probably going to run into some canon characters along the epic quest, so I'd recommend you familiarize yourself with omniclopia, forger, and duonia.

This sounds sooooooooo coool. How do I sign up? What's the format??!?!?
Slow down there tiger. We'll get to that. First, you'll have to pick a character race. Each race is good at specific things, or classes, and can perform certain actions better then others. This encourages teamwork between group members and gods.

I think duonians are OP, as they can kernel into anything or fuse until they're crazy strong. Are you going to fix that?
Yep. Each race won't be superpowerful when they first start out. duonians will only get X slots, or other races can only get X strong through powerups. It, again, encourages teamwork.

What can I do as a god?
Your job as a god is to provide insight to group members that perhaps, they cannot see. Certain objects may be invisible to the common eye. Being a god, you'll see everything, and can report this to the group. In Omnia, everyone hears the gods, so you don't have to worry about being left out.

RACES

DUONIANS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Duonians are nature's swiss army knife. Being born with their soul bound to a "life kernel", they can fuse with items in the world to become stronger. These are called kernels. Duonians can learn new skills or obtain emotional developmental skills called "sectors" to enhance their kerneling prowess further, or obtain universal skills that transfer between kernels.

The Patron Character for the Duonians is JACK IDAEUS.

Duonian starting capabilities:
2 Kernel slots
One ability: (Fission, Swap, Infusion, Fusion)
One sector: (bravery[attack speed], Rage[Increased strength], Compassion[minor healing], sorrow[etheral form, cannot harm or be harmed], Sickness[Can sacrifice kernel to poison enemies].
Choice of life kernel: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Plant, Metal(ball)

Stats:
Fragile in life kernel form, fairly durable in kernels.
Moderate to slow speed, varies on kernel and sectors
Little to no magic prowess, totally dependent upon kernel
can kernel items only if compatible, not living, and not bigger then you.

ELEMENTALS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Have you ever imagined what would happen if you gave flame life? What would dirt look like if you let it think? What does darkness do when you turn your back? This is the nature of the elemental: To be what people cannot possibly comprehend. Elementals are beings composed mostly or entirely of their chosen element. Being fueled entirely by magic animating a material, they have a good nature of control over their own form, but can be weak to anti-magic attacks or their opposing element.

The Patron Characters for the ELEMENTALS are: SILBER, VODAL, ASHE, EMBER, and SOL.

Elemental starting capabilities:
Mastery of a chosen element's structure and forms (Water, earth, fire, air, dark, light, plant, metal)
Can recognize an element even if it isn't plainly visible
High magic affinity makes elementals fantastic mages
Can morph their form to squeeze into impossible spaces
High resistance to their chosen element

Stats:
Fairly durable, depending upon element
High resistance to magic attacks
High mana capability

Can regenerate lost parts if the elemental absorbs some of it's own element
Bonus to magic

FORGERS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

If there ever was a creature to consult for help in small matters, it's a forger. Forgers are masters of their chosen element, being able to change their entire body structure to match it. This allows them to tap into abilities not even elementals or duonians can match, and some that only few mages can. The ability of forgers to talk is a curious one, as nobody's noticed one having a mouth. Most forgers simply use osmosis to obtain food, though few need it. Forgers can level up their mastery of their element with POWER CORES, strange items which give the forger deeper insight into their element.

The Patron Character for the FORGERS is: SKITTELLA PIERCE.

Forger Starting Capabilities:
Choice of element: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Life, Death, Sound, Frost, Gas, and Energy.
Elemental choice is reflected in the forger's color
Elemental mastery can go up to level 5. Forgers start at level 2 by default
Choice of one bonus form: Machine[allows new skills based upon the element METAL], Spirit[Allows the forger to leave it's soul and pause time, examining an enemy for weak points], or Fusion[Allows the addition of a new elemental mastery]

Stats:
High mana capability
Poor mana implementation, outside of their chosen element
Low durability
Medium regeneration
Additional more powerful skills can be accessed with Elemental Points. Forgers have 5 to begin, and obtain 5 with each new level

ENCHANTED ITEMS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Imagine a sword sharper than any steel. A mystic floating book that shot spells, or a shield of blazing fire. Enchanted items are mostly support, as they gain a bonus from being used by other characters. Enchanted items can float by default and are often superior to or close to superior than their chosen item. Being supported entirely by magic, one wrong move can spell disaster, but the risk could be worth it...

The Patron Character for the ENCHANTED ITEMS is: OM.

Enchanted Item starting capabilities:
Complete control over the movement of an item(Sword, shield, book, etc)
Flying
Huge mana reserve
Enchantment to an item(i.e. fire, extra defense, sharpness, ice, reflection, spell-shooting, etc)

Great mana implementation
can access almost any element in the elemental tree

OMNICLOPIANS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

The omniclopians are a strange bunch, as their power is determined solely by the hat they have on their head. Their ability to keep their hat on even in the strongest of storms still baffles scientists today. As such, the more fancy the hat a omniclopian wears, the better he will be. The style of the hat also determines their class.

The Patron Characters for the OMNICLOPIANS are: WILLIAM and ORION.

Duonian Starting Capabilities:
1 Class choosing hat
2 Class modification hat (aka fire throwing hat for fire wizards, or a clock hat for time mage)
1 Weapon set (sword and shield, pike, etc)

SHOOTANS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

The Shootans are masters of ranged combat, going so far as to use their hands as weapons, mostly guns, but reporters have seen shootans using their hands as bows, shotguns, and even cannons. Their ability to turn their hands into physical-object firing weapons is baffling, to say the least. Shootans cover their heads in colored masks for reasons unknown, though they claim to remove your mask is to be killed. Odd, seeing as biopsies were unable to remove the mask, even post-Morten. Shootan also wear long coats or other items to cover their small, stick-like body. Oddly, they use no mana in firing their weapons, which continues to baffle wizards, at least until they're shot right between their eyes.

The Patron Character for the SHOOTAN is: KARIN.

Shootan Starting Capabilities:
Choice of projectile
Choice of headwear
Choice of clothing
One armament enhancer (increased speed, increased attack, increased defense)

NAMEANS

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Not much is known about the Nameans, being the new kids on the block. The Nameans came into existence shortly after the fall of Fate and Destiny, and have firmly cemented their place in Omnia since. Nameans are closely related to the common household cat, brandishing cat ears and a tail most commonly. The nameans believe that the greater one is to being a cat, the more royal they are*. Nameans have a distinct persian(purrsian) culture, with the males wearing their fur in a clothes-like fashion, and the females, not having much fur to begin with, wear ornate designs to cover themselves up. Nameans thrive in a desert environment, but can keep warm with their fur in the cold. Both male and female nameans wear gold trinkets to remind themselves of their home. It is said those rings come from their ancestors.

Humans are fairly squishy yet versatile beings. With an astounding well-roundedness, they can become fairly proficient in almost any class. While it is said some humans are greater than others, no two humans are exactly alike, making their abilities vary from spell throwing to skull splitting. If you want a jack of any trade, the human has it. Furthermore, humans are known to have silver tongues. As such, they obtain a bonus to their speaking, making them excellent tradesmen.

JOBS

WARRIOR

show spoiler

hide spoiler

"I swear, that boy's going to get himself killed someday."

Warriors are nature's hack and slash types. If you like to get right up into your opponent's face, insult his mother, and beat the snot out of him, then the warrior is the class for you.

RANGER

show spoiler

hide spoiler

"Pew pew pew!"

You're the type who sits back while the warriors are busy being violated by eldrich creatures, laughing before you shoot the beast between it's eyes, causing it to fall. Your excellent range and precision is only dampened by your lack of endurance.

WHITE MAGE

hide spoiler

"What about me? I deserve a story!"

What happens when everyone's dead or dying, and the monsters have all gone home? The white mages come out and revive the idiots, that's what. Their understanding of summoning magic and healing magic can be very useful. Some say advanced white mages can summon spirits of fallen heroes or even teleport their enemies to eldrich planes of torture.

BLUE MAGE

show spoiler

hide spoiler

"Whuzza... Muzzl...ffghh." "What was that?" "A spell to rip your eyelashes out."

The title blue mage is misleading, to say the least. A blue mage is a magic user who has chosen an element of magic and focused their studies onto mastering it. Common choices include fire, water, earth, and air, but some people have reported seeing time mages, cat mages, and energy mages.

ROGUE

"Sure, let me just-Hey! Where'd my wallet go-HURK"

Being in the spotlight isn't for you. You like to sneak in the shadows, lurk behind people, steal their belongings then backstab them. Your knowledge of subterfuge and poisoning makes reconnaissance and sabotage your specialty. Your ability to be undetected is excellent, as you slowly prowl among the rooftops before dropping down onto someone's spinal cord, killing them near-instantly. A greater assassin, there never was.

TRADESMAN

"A bomb? Certainly! If you have the coin..."

Fighting isn't for you, really. You prefer to use your voice as a weapon, turning your very lungs into weapons of destruction. You yell, and the skies turn stormy, raining lightning over your foes. In towns, your silver tongue lets you get information easily, and great discounts too. The greatest speaker of all, Ma'Jiik, was said to have talked a mayor into trading the entire western continent for a couple of fake chocolate coins.

BARD

"Damn I'm sexy."

You don't fight directly, like the others. Your true passion is that of music, and culture. You're a handsome one too, so you get all the ladies/gents. With your instrument, you can control one of the four musical elements (fire water earth air), and manipulate them well for the purpose of hindering your enemies or buffing your allies. With a good bard on your side, the enemy can be placated into no longer fighting, have their eardrums blown apart by an awesome solo, or be ripped to shreds by the giant you thought you saw a moment ago. In all actuality, he had been buffed so fast, he dodged light itself...

Whoo, that was fun! Now, for your applications! The adventure won't start yet, but signing up now gives me time to decide who to include and who not to include.

What you need in order to be a main character

Time. I've seen too many of these adventures fall by the wayside because one person just stops playing, and the whole thing goes kaput. You need to stay in the game till we're done, or I'll write your unfortunate death.

A good roleplaying ability. No "HURF I AM DREGZUR, AND I KILL EVERYONE HHEHEAHEHEHGHGHHH" no. Not happening. Sorry bro. Try to be who your character is. Try to envision you being in their shoes, and know their strengths and weaknesses. For example, a shootan can't punch through a brick wall like, say, an earth elemental, you know?

A fun attitude. Nobody likes a pessimist, or a quitter.

What you need in order to be a god
Just choose a domain, and an element symbol. You don't even have to post here, as gods can join and leave at any time.

Now! For your application! The fun part!

Name: Lucian

Race: Namean

Class/Job: Rogue

Physical Description: Tan fur covers his body from the waist down, as well as his arms from the elbow down. He has a golden armband on the upper part of his left arm, as well as two golden rings on his right hand. The only clothing he wears is a pair of knee length pants that have been modified to accomodate his tail. On his upper right leg is a small dagger concealed under his pants, as well as a larger one in a sheath on his left.

A brief history of where you came from: Lucian's reason for coming to Kathmandu seems rather obvious. A young Namean from the desert that hitched a ride with a caraven here to enjoy the festival. Heh. The real reason is quite a bit darker. A couple weeks ago, an assassin attacked the Namean Embassy in an attempt to kill the Namean Royalty. The attack ultimatly failed and the assassin was forced to retreat. However, the attack forced the Embassy to increase their security, especially considering that the Namean Royalty would be showing up at the festival. Fearing that Non-namean aid would compromise things, they sought help from a namean group that specialized in preventing assassinations. They responded by sending one of their senior agents, as well as their most promising recruit. Under the guise of visitors hoping to enjoy the festival, Lucian and the agent make their way to Kathmandu to put a halt to the assassin.

Bonuses: Padded feet, shadowbending.

Been a while since I've done anything like this. Hope it's ok.

Name:Sitrah
Race: Elementals (air)
Class/Job: White mage (being a healer is the best thing ever)
Physical Description: Air element, Often seen as leaves dancing in the wind (Not really sure how to draw air in a good way :P) also holds a staff
A brief history of where you came from:As a carefree wind elemental you prefered the cold north mountains saving people from a cold horrible death which fortunatly wasnt that often. As people began to leave the mountains for different reasons so did you not wanting to be completely alone. You stayed around outskirts of villages listening to people talking, soon learning about a big festival on the central continent. You followed a couple of humans to find the way. (my understanding was that you hadnt arrived yet)
Bonuses: whatever comes with being an air elemental (couldnt find anything to choose from tho)

"Hey kid, going to Kathmandu? So am I. Want a ride?"

Name: "The name is Richard Flynn. But call me Rick. Everyone calls me Rick."

Race: "Last I checked, I was still human."

Class/Job: "Been a tradesman all my life. Twenty something years on the road. See this wagon, kid? And the horse? All bought with my hard-earned money."

Physical description: "Not what I used to be, but this old man still has some looks, huh kid? I could care more for appearance, but on the road there's not always time to shave, you know. The ladies don't seem to mind the beard, though, as long as I keep it short. My hair is starting to get gray on the sides too. I know I'm not even forty yet, but you had to see my father. At my age, his hair was already white as a sheet. See this axe? Used to be his, and his father before him. My grandfather fought in wars. He was a soldier until he decided that it was no life for him and decided to become a tradesman. My father followed in his footsteps and... Well, you see where it got me. The axe is still as sharp as on the day it was forged, I guess it's magical or something. I use it mostly to cut timber, but I have had to defend myself before."

Brief history: "If I'm going to the hero's festival? You bet, kid. It's going to be crowded there, perfect for merchants like me. I deal mainly in books, and I'm bound to find some rare tomes there. Sell my wares too, make some money. Good times. I also heard from a reliable source that some famous heroes will be attending. It always has been a dream of mine to meet a hero in person. I used to read a lot about them when I was younger. One day I would like to chat with Skittella Pierce herself, or maybe even Jack Idaeus. What they would want to talk with this humble tradesman is anyone's guess, though. As I said, I've been on the road ever since I turned sixteen. Sold my books in all corners of the world. Made some good friends too, of course. But I'm originally from the north coast of the central continent... Kid? It's rude to sleep while people are talking. It's okay, I have a tendency to ramble. Well, doesn't matter anymore. We're almost in Kathmandu."

Bonuses:

Armor bonus: "Always been a fast one, myself. Hit them before they hit you, right?"

Languages: "I've traveled all over the world, and I've picked something up from some friends. My draconic is not bad, but my beastial is a tad rusty."

Race: Enchanted Object (A Mannequin)
Class/Job: Mage (Blue)
Physical Description: A Silver colored faceless mannequin. Probably made out of silver. Decorated with some golden tattoos along with a ruby on his forehead. Has no actual weapon as he is already quite capable of being a magical conduit.
A brief history of where you came from: A month ago while a artist was having a early start on making a attraction for the festival he was supposed to be a part of a attraction in the festival but a stray spell hit him and gave him sentience. Thrown out into the street as the creator of his physical part starts working on another one he wanders off and due to shenanigans became something of a urban legend quite quickly. (Because you know a floating mannequin can make rumors crop up quite quickly even if they are shiny and have alot of jewelry embedded on them.)
Bonuses: Spell-shooting. His elemental focus being radiation.
Flaw: (If allowed i request removal of the flight perk and simply have autonomous movement.) (Also no knowledge on having spell powers at first k? k.)

EDIT:
Name: Kyojin Sendonami
Race: Duonian
Class/Job: Warrior
Physical Description: Well, he is normally a puddle of navy blue and purple water, but his kernals make him a fairly well-built young man with piping stiking out of him
A brief history of where you came from: Kyojin was\is a wanderer. He has almost no memories from before the past year, but he remembers a strange ninja. He has heard many stories of this being Swampy, God of Ninjas and an inter-demensional traveler who left a being to keep track of things in this universe. Whenever Kyojin brings up the topic, however, people seem to shy away from him. He's just confused, and thinks he may find answers at this strange 'carnival' of the hero from the time of Swampy's ocupation of this world.
Bonuses:
Kernal: steam pipes, impaled young knight striped of everything but underclothes, helm and dirk
Ability: Swap (let's me switch kernal components, correct?)

"So ever since I was a child, I heard voices. It was just whispers at first but when I got older, one voice started to grow louder and louder, like a lion at my door. It said, over and over, "TRUST ME AND I SHALL PROTECT YOU BETTER THAN ANY OTHER, BELIEVE IN ME AND I SHALL SHOW YOU A PATH TO GREATNESS, FOLLOW ME, THAT YOU WOULD BE AS I AM."
It never stopped, but out of morbid curiosity, I decided to see what it meant. I found ghosts and gods and everything in between that day. I started following the voice and never looked back ever since then.

I had been following a spirit going by the name of "Tyrant" for 2 years now. I finally trailed the spirit to Kathmandu. I don't intend to let it get away again."

Oh absolutely. that's creative.

Name: Zephyr

Race: Air Elemental

Class/Job: Blue Mage

Physical Description: An ever-whirling wind bound within ethereal, hooded robes created by its own magic. The robe binds it to a fairly average male shape. When fully roused to anger, it will break the bind and release its true form: that of a continuous tornado. It can only maintain this unleashed form for a short time however, or else the magic that gives it life and the power to coalesce would break under the strain.

A brief history of where you came from: It has only recently been imbued with magic and given life by a mysterious mage, on the middle continent. Unusually, the mage did not make any request of the elemental first before releasing it, the mage merely wished it good luck and left, calling it Zephyr. Since then it has wandered around, growing acquainted to the ways of this new life, and observing others, hoping to find this mysterious mage. In its wanderings it heard of this festival, and went to investigate this city of Kathmandu, thinking it might find the mage there. This will be its first time having contact with others since it was given life. It has developed an unusual way of speaking, by always referring to itself as "it".


Hopefully this isn't too horrible, haha

Can I get a map of the world? I believe one was given in Duonia but I can't find it.

Name: Raze (real name Alexander Hethil)
Race: Forger (Fire element)
Class/Job: Warrior
Physical Description: A red ball with a fireproof cowboy hat (terrible picture)
History: Born in a boring ordinary Forger town[location to be decided once we get locations] with nothing happening, from a young age Alexander found solace in tales of heroes and mighty warriors, both historic ones and ones made up for tales. He imagined himself among their ranks, battling evil, killing monsters, defeating mighty foes, saving people, doing good, rescuing beautiful maidens..

He took particular liking to the stories of William and his friends, especially the cool and awesome Outlaw, liking his general look and personality. Eventually that mutated to a like of the cowboy image and accents. Alexander trained to be a warrior and hero, focusing on learning how to fight close in and in person and getting himself a fireproof cowboy hat.

After he became old enough he set out from his hometown, bidding goodbye to his family to search for treasure and adventure. First exploring nearby caves for anything of interest, mostly finding bats. He did minor quest here and there but never anything truly heroic. But in one old temple he found a strange altar with a hovering relic above that called to him. Absorbing it he found himself with the Machine form.

Shortly afterwards while still looking for adventure he learned of the festival of the hero and decided that if he was going to find something heroic or awe inspiring to do that it would be there. And so set off to find glory.

Or at least enjoy the festival.

Bonus: Machine form

Question: What would be a good location for such a town? I'm thinking east of Bolet.

Name: Jacob Rinzo

Race: Forger

Class/Job: Blue Mage

Physical Description: Sound element, scar over both eyes, left eye is sealed shut.

A brief history of where you came from: Spent time living alone between Solaria and Mezofoia, only going into town for food and supplies. During a trip into town, I heard about the festival and thought it'd sound fun. Great way to honor the heroes of the passed ya know? So I hopped on a boat, floated my way here, and now here I am! Living alone was pretty tough, not too bad though. Had a decent life, good friend with lots of villagers, all in all not bad. Always happy to help someone out if they need it, free of charge most of the time too.

Got my scars in an accident one day, was training with my sound form and caused an avalanche. Got cut up pretty bad in it, learned my lesson though. I've been living life to the fullest since, no point in being a miserable, cynical guy after cheating death am i right?

Bonuses: Spirit form

Really hope i get into this I've loved your adventures Toast King, be a great way to practice my author skills too.

Name: "Stringless Puppet" Cassius
Race: Enchanted Object (A Mannequin)
Class/Job: Mage (Blue)
Physical Description: A Silver colored faceless mannequin. Probably made out of silver. Decorated with some golden tattoos along with a ruby on his forehead. Has no actual weapon as he is already quite capable of being a magical conduit.
A brief history of where you came from: A month ago while a artist was having a early start on making a attraction for the festival he was supposed to be a part of a attraction in the festival but a stray spell hit him and gave him sentience. Thrown out into the street as the creator of his physical part starts working on another one he wanders off and due to shenanigans became something of a urban legend quite quickly. (Because you know a floating mannequin can make rumors crop up quite quickly even if they are shiny and have alot of jewelry embedded on them.)
Bonuses: Spell-shooting. His elemental focus being radiation.
Flaw: (If allowed i request removal of the flight perk and simply have autonomous movement.) (Also no knowledge on having spell powers at first k? k.)

[Sinjin]

Dangit i forgot to add Kathmandu into the history description. Ah well it's kind of semi obvious.

Working on decisions now, If you know someone who hasn't gotten their application in yet, encourage them to come on in. They'll try to say "oh I dont know anything about those comics", but they don't really need to, because they're just stories. So get those sheets in, and i'll start picking people and finalizing things around... oh, let's say friday. That gives you all week to work on it.

[Fengar]

I think I'll sit out and be a god. I'm not good at making a character.

[swampmist1142]

I'm suprised at 2 things here:
1. the fact that thare have only been 8 applicants
2. Out of those 8 applicants, there are no: Omniclopians, shootans or nameans and there are no bards, rouges or rangers. We for some reason have 2 wind elementals, 2 forgers, 1 duonian, 1 enchanted item and 2 humans, the classes consisting of 3 blue mages (the hell?), 2 white mages, 2 warriors and a tradesman.
Yeah, this is kinda funny, actually.

[Xander]

I'm not done with mine yet. I'm gonna be a Namean rogue.

[swampmist1142]

oh. OK that's cool
