forum novel - discussion and sign-up

[Reaper]

After ES and phil gave me the advice to open a new thread for this: here it is!
You can put everything regarding ideas for the story, advertisement, and general things like do we need a map?
So lets start:
Some of you might already have seen it in the thread "why the story section fails", but I don't have anything else and it is now updated, too.
(I wrote a little background story, which is indeed very short as you should invent the world together.)

What is an internet novel?
In an internet novel a group of persons connected by the internet writes a novel together. Everyone has an own char and writes the story from his point of view.
Now we will try to start an internet novel about the little fighters in this forum.


How to participate?
You can step in at every point of the novel, but its best to be there from the beginning so you know whats going on. If you want to participate, you just have to post the profile of your character with some details:

Name:
Age:
Outlooks: (optional standing sprite or picture)
Background story:
Character:
Know associations(optional): ( does the character know any of chars from the others?)
Special abilities(optional):

you will see an example further down.


Rules
§1: You are only allowed to have one character. Of course you can write about subchars you invent by yourself( guards, soldiers...) but they have to stay subchars. You can also write about the characters of the other members as long as you don't make important decisions for them.
If you die, you can step in with a new character afterwards. Dieing is also a way if you don't want to write in here anymore.
I hope you don't mind if I sometimes write out of the sight of nobody to make the story go on.

§2: No overpowered chars. No one can beat an army( or even a big group) of soldiers alone.

§3: You don't have to write epically long posts, but they shouldn't be shorter than five lines. We won't kill you if you once write four, but the second time...
Another thing you should try to think of is punctuation and spelling. You can also take part if you aren't good in both, but please write your posts in Word to get your spelling right.

§4: There is no fourth rule as this is about the activity. Of course you should look into the thread from time to time, but if you simply don't know what to write then you can't write. That isn't a problem.

§5: Please try to incorporate everybody into the story. You shouldn't name everybody in your post, but if you see that somebody writes on his own, try to integrate him. This counts especially for the active and experienced writers but also for everyone else.
It also means that the group shouldn't divide into pieces until everyone is alone. Everyone should stay in a group although their might be exceptions.

§6: If you think that something should happen, have an idea for the development of the story/ the story in general, have a problem with something, think that you aren't integrated in the story there are different possibilities. You can write everything that isn't part of the story when you write ooc: ( out of character) in front of it. Or you can PM me( or maybe other persons).


Background story
Of course we need a little background story to start at some point:

The guard was sitting on a giant stone in the garden of the palace from where he had a great view over the land. Entire green fields reached to the horizon. He watched some little black dots slowly moving into his direction. Soon they would reach the town. Well, it was more than time.
Now the first dots came near enough to notice details. Slowly they transformed into human shapes. After some more minutes he could already recognize their haircolour.
Nearly every kind of humans was represented. Huge warriors from the north with edgy faces came together with their smaller cousins from the south. Especially the people with red and blue hair from the Arctic Volcano in the east stood out against the crowd.
He couldn't really understand why all of those people had been called to the capital city. He knew that there had been riots, something about a resurrected evil king. Some whispered that even the dead were fighting on his side. But he didn't believe any of that rubbish. He hadn't been in one of those villages for years, but could things really change that fast? However there had to be a reason why the king called every fighter into the capital...
~allowed by phil~


So lets start. Here is my character:

Name:
Age:
Outlooks:
Background story:
Character:
Know associations:
Special abilities:


I won't start this before next Tuesday( means in about a week) and only if we have enough participants. Otherwise I will wait until Friday.

Btw: I haven't done my character profile yet as the background might change.
So tell me your opinions. The faster you post the faster I can start it.
@phil: look at the end of the story
Edit: About the time... I guess its somehow a bit like medieval( without cars or anything), but that doesn't prevent the little fighters from wearing modern clothes etc.

Backstory (Modified) (Click to View)

The world is passing through a peaceful time after Julian appeared, decades ago. When that happened, fighters from everywhere were summoned to try and take down the evil lord. They all failed, except for 10 notable ones, bringing an end to his reign of terror. They were praised as the world’s heroes, and monuments were built in honor to them. People went back to their normal lives and everything was fine, with no threat to the earth...

50 years after that, strange events started taking place. One day, there was a huge explosion in Julian’s tomb, and investigation showed that his body was missing. Rumors that the he was back were spread around. Strong fighters were murdered, one by one, with their bodies vanishing afterwards. Worried about the situation, the Empire has assembled all warriors in his kingdom in order to discuss matters, while the intelligence tries to figure out what's happening.

[Drahcir]

Name: Drahcir Lumiras
Age: 19
Appearance:

Background story: Born on Tiren, a neighbouring planet, and traveled here at age 3 with parents, who were emissaries from Tiren. Parents have since died, and Drahcir is acting as a representative of Tiren in their place.
Character: Impulsive, reckless right past the point of stupidity, is usually calm but when he explodes, he explodes hard. A surefire trigger for explosion is when he witnesses any injustice at all. Usually requires someone to make sure he doesn't get his rear end handed to him. Idealist, altruist.
Known associations: A lot of people from Tiren, Phil, both Alecs, Zabobula, Sonidow, Adam, Freeza, Magnamancy, 1477
Special abilities: Self-trained swordsman. In battle, he usually targets the one leading the enemy.

And a less major character who basically serves as Drahcir's wingmate:
Name: Mailliw Lumiras
Age: 14
Appearance:

Background story: Born on Earth when Drahcir was at age 5.
Character: Calm, collected, idealist, altruist.
Know associations: Drahcir (obviously), (insert everyone in Drahcir's list)
Special abilities: Beginning swordsman. In battle, he will usually attack the main army.

EDIT: Dang it, stupid transparent background--Remember, those beamswords are WHITE in the middle, not blue.
Or just view them in the MyBB default theme.

[Zabobula]

Name: Z

Age: ???

Outlooks:

Background story: When the being known as the Red Stickman (more recently referred to as the Crimson One) was captured, he was sent to an underground research facility for scientists to do tests on. After many painful experiments, the final test was for the Red Stickman to fuse with another human being. This is that human.

His real name is unknown. But he goes by the name Z. His conscience is the Red Stickman and but his thoughts are his own.

Character: Reserved, quiet, and to himself. Because he has no real recollection of his past, he suffers perpetual depression and anxiety. He doesn’t talk to anyone unless its his conscience (the Red Stickman).

Know associations (optional): none

Special abilities (optional): Depending on the situation, Z has the ability to manifest the power that comes from the Red Stickman himself. He can self-heal over time and his only known vulnerability to death is if he is forcibly diffused from his split counterpart, the Stickman.


EDIT: This is way too huge. Ima have to delay my stories for somethin this big.

[Reaper]

Time for me to sign-up too, isn't it?

Name: Cen

Age: 23( I'm not)

Outlooks: Showing my not-so-good spriting skills.

Background story: He doesn't really like to talk about his background. However it is known that he was born in a village near the arctic volcano and soon learned to control the fire. When he was 17, his village was attacked by marauding bandits and everyone else died. After that he left his village and became a wanderer.

Character: People describe him as extroverted and spontaneous, but also often very angry. Normally he tries to be the leader and likes acting much more than thinking.( He really isn't me ) Nevertheless he never forgets the others. In an angry way he has never lost the faith in a better world.("It just can't be...")

Know associations: Phil and drahcir. He has met some of the others since he became a wanderer, but most of them only once.( although drahcir claims not to know him. But phil also claims not to know drahcir. Very confusing.)

Special abilities: In general he is more of a fighter, experienced with both fists and kicks. However he also belongs to the element of fire.

PS: He isn't the same as in "the vengeance". I am just not good in finding names.


So which background-story are we going to use? My one or ES's one?
And I guess I can start it pretty early. However I will be away on sunday or saturday so it probably won't start before monday.

[Lord Anu]

Ok… Since Phil make me to join this story then I will. Hmm… But I already used character Anubis in Zab's upcoming story. No matter I will make him and in Reaper's story, but bio will be a little different. He can't have the same bio like in Zab's story. So… Here we go:

Name:Lord Anubis / Anubis

Age: 20

Outlooks:


Background story: Anubis was born in small village, near one volcano. All around his village there was a jungle… The village was happy and untouched by the sword. And still Anubis was listening great stories from their leader, leader of the village. Every night he was telling tales to children. Anubis, Tiny, Mayon and Sharky(them 3 are Anubis's brothers) were most impressed with stories. Leader was talking about dragons, demons, ancient wars, great warriors. Them 4 were practicing combat every day. Tiny was archer, Anubis swordsman, Mayon wizard, Sharky rogue. When they 4 grew up the village was attacked by bandits and black demons. They 4 and their old leader were the only who could resist. After some time of combat 4 brothers go to volcano and activate him by throwing rocks into him. Volcano killed everyone instead 3 brothers: Anubis, Tiny and Sharky. Mayon and everyone died. They 3 go to one great city called Cikuro. They have no money so they went to gladiators area. After their fight in area when king saw their skill he named them Lords. After some time Anubis and his brothers married… Anubis married one woman named Kira. He saved her from black demons deep in jungle when he was lost searching for Sharky. Now he is living in the city Cikuro with his brothers. He love when Sharky organize some parties, but most of his time he is spending by meditating…

Character: He is peacefully warrior who loves to be quiet. But once when he go wild there is nothing to stop him. He always spare his enemies. Only if his enemies are great evil bosses, then no, he kill them brutally. He hate when somebody has no honor. Then he is ready to kill…

Know associations: Daymio, met him in deep jungle... He was running from black demons and then we fought together(guess who survived...)

Special abilities: Fire fighter. Using his red long-sword to slash his enemies. He got some special powers: throwing fire balls, blowing fire, exploding, making fire wall, make his sword burn to deal more damage.

[Simoneon]
