Hello and welcome to the sequel RPG to "As The World Falls"! This is my first RPG that I will be running on AF (I tend to RP here more than make the threads, lol) so be paitent and give me a try.
OH! And be sure if you're going to be more than one character (if and when approved by me) COLOUR their speech differently like I have for my character sheets below. It gets flustrating to read if you do not.
IMPORTANT: Include a rough sampling of your RPGing skills no less than a paragraph!!
**eg. She walked into the forest. It was silent, deathly silent. Before she could react a dozen arrows came whistling through the treetops.
You wish my death so recklessly? The girl thought. Bad mistake...
With a flick of her wrist she unsheathed her katana. A brillant flash of steel cut the air and when it ended...Hundreds of arrows fell harmlessly to the earth like a splinterng rain of wood.**

Between the first RPG and Final Fate:
5 months have passed since a small band of warriors of oppressed Japan rose up to break the iron grip of the shogun Ieyasu and his mistress Aide. However, their mighty power was enough to keep freedom of the people out of reach and it seemed almost utterly hopeless to defeat the twisted Ieyasu and his puppetress Aide. But there was a chance and the warriors realized this, shedding blood and losing lives to fight for a land they called "home".
But something happened, and all of these warriors fell into a dark sleep after a brillant light lit up the sky like day and turned the world to night instantly. This was the result of a battle between Oyume, a girl of a secret race and last of her kind, the Altiered and Aide, mistress of Ieyasu. Both weilded two sacred items, swords from a collection of "Godly Creations", artifacts of immense divine power. Deep below the earth in a temple the two waged on, Oyume desperatly trying to prevent Aide from gathering another Godly Creation to use for evil and Aide trying to eliminate the last of a race she destroyed by her hands and gain unlimited power.
However, the two accidently shattered the Godly Creation they were battling against each other for named the Sleepless Tear. The release of it's power caused all who were fighting to fall into a comatose sleep, Oyume herself included. Now with the passing of five months, the Sleepless Tear's power has waned and it is the time for awakening.
But one question still remains...
Who will rise up once more from the dark sleep and stand against Ieyasu's tryanny...If Ieyasu still is the main threat to peace at that?
History of RP:
It's the feudal era, and all was quiet and peaceful. Days passed by, and everything seemed endless. Endless, till one day.
A man named Ieyasu attacked the western region of Japan. He was with his mistress, Aide. Oppression was happening to the western region, and people were afraid to step up and try to help.
Days and days passed, it felt like it would never end. Still, no one came up. People started joining Ieyasu so they wouldn't be beaten anymore. Women turned into widows, children into slaves, men into soldiers, teens and young people into workers. No one could express how hurt and horrible they felt.
Ieyasu, still focused on the western region, decided it was time to move on to other parts of Japan where oppression wasn't felt. So his big forces moved on ahead.
Five months into oppression, and he's already taken up the northern part of Japan. People knew they had to do something about it, but they were too scared. Who can stand up and make a difference? Can anyone change the people's minds about this? It's all how you roll the dice...you never know what you're gonna get...
Now it's been five more months, a comatose sleep caused by the divine Sleepless Tear. What happened in those five months? Well it's time to find out...Awaken warriors...It is time to awaken...
Additional Information:
-First of all Oyume's race, the Altiered, are all but gone. She is the last of her kind so please don't ask to be one. Altiered are Japanese, but are a secret society who live increadibly long lifespans and have many magical powers...However can be killed as easily as any creature (note: not immortal).
Their traits are silver-white hair and glowing eyes. Altiered means "Those who have been altered" and thus have been called "Those who have been blessed/cursed by Gods/Demons". Altiered history plays a vital connection to Aide and Ieyasu...So if you play a grudging character against these two please read any hints to the Altiered history.
-There is another similar race related to the Altiered, the Kimaho or "Soul Witchcrafters", who bear the silver-white hair of the Aliered but no glowing eyes, are up for RPing...But you can only be one by pming me so I can explain their history and role as sister race to the Altiered. Their powers have to do with the ki, or soul/aura.
-A new face is siding with Ieyasu named Komugi Shinbara. This person will be played by me...But I'm giving no hints to this person's loyalties or traits....Just to keep things interesting.
-The "goal" of this RPG is to stop Ieyasu and Aide. Your home, Japan is being oppressed, your people are starving and being enslaved. The Godly Creations, items of divine power are not merely to be whipped up. Faceless111, player of the character Onii-Taro, is in charge of who gets a Godly Creation since it was his idea.
If you really would like to weild one you must pm him and ask permission so that he can assign you one of his choice.
-If you have the time, scan back to the first RPG and get a breif idea of the story. I know it's a mess because of people leaving, going on vaction or just not continuing, but it all helps in the end. I would really like it if we had some sense of history to this RPG, but if you don't want to read the RPG, pm me and I'll summarize the story for you! <3
RULES: Same as any other RPG people.
1. Absolutely no swearing...It isn't allowed on this forum so you should be aware of this by now.
2. No double posting. If it's an accident edit the post and put "oops" or "sorry, double clicked on the post button", etc.
3. NO SPAMMING! In all my years of RPing spamming tiffs me off the worst. If you want to talk about the thread do it in the sign-up after I've approved about five people or simply pm me or whoever you want to talk to. Spamming is basically posting nonsense or one-liner posts. Please keep posts at least a paragraph of 3-4 sentances.
4. Any problems like fighting with (not RPed battles, lol), bullying or hasseling another RPer you will be warned...But if it continues you wil be removed from the RPG! I do not tolerate "unscripted" or "out-of-RPG" verbal abuse.
5. No Godmodding. This means no all-powerful characters or taking control of another's character(s). Make it simple, but interesting. Leave a few weaknesses to make the RPG exciting. If your character doesn't have a chance to be "killed" in battle (eg. immortal) then it saps the excitment out. So unless you are RPing a secondary God character (eg. A Sun God to aid your character) that I've approved to act once in a blue moon...Don't Godmod...It gets annoying to us more "mortal" RPers.
6. Romance is PG 13. No questions about it, so nothing rated R or X. AF rules ppl, sorry.

Sample RP:
Sample Characters: These are the characters I will be playing since their roles are vital to the RPG.
Name: Ieyasu Katsuyori
Age: 47 but he looks like he's only 40
Gender: Male
Weapon: Katana
Appearance:
Powers/Special Abilities/Skills: Teleport, telekinisis, exceptional warrior skills
Personality: He's very power-hungry and greedy, stubborn and selfish. He has an eye for pretty women, especially Aide. He's very handsome himself. Ieyasu has no care for others, but the only thing he cares about is Aide.
Bio: Ieyasu was only a general when he started. But when he met Aide, he was different. Aide had some sort of power over him, and turned him evil. Aide was the only person who cared for him, and so to make her proud, he started oppressing the land and taking over Japan. Now he is doubting his own motives and Aide, but is on the brink of insanity since she disappeered five months ago after the strange light in the sky.
Side: Evil
Name: Aide Noh
Age: 40 but she looks like she's 30
Gender: Female
Weapon: A blood-painted fan that is actually made of daggers. (Bladed Fan)
Appearance:
Powers/Special Abilities/Skills: She is very swift in running, she has the power over darkness, she can turn the air poison, she is a seductress
Personality: A very beautiful woman, she looks as kind and gentle as a lotus blossom but as sharp and greedy as a dragon. Aiede is very prideful, and she's proud of it.
Bio: She has no feelings for Ieyasu, but she knows he has the power to control Japan. Aiede wants to be the mistress of a powerul man, so she will be known throughout Japan. With her seducting skills and her beauty, she's got Ieyasu by the neck. She has grown tiresome of Ieyasu and is seeking the Godly Creations for her own gain, more than likely to overthrow Ieyasu and take Japan for herself. She destroyed the Altiered race by deploying Ieyasu's soliders and massacuring all but Oyume, who was destined to escape. She is no where to be found.
Side: Evil
My Main Character:
Name: Oyume *Means Great Dream*
Age: ??? (Actually 200, but stays in a child-like form of a pettite girl.)
Gender: Female
Species: Alteired *Pronounced Alt-teir'd like "Altered"*-Once a secret race of magically enhanced humans with incredable birthpowers...But msyteriously...They all died off but her.
Personality:
A girl of few words like .Hack//Sign's Tsukasa and Rei of Evangelion. Oyume tends to remain silent, but when she does speak it is usually with meaning. She is shy and reserved, with a low tolerance of seeing blood. When she does...It triggers horrible memories.
She cannot stand being hurt. Pain frightens her so she tends not to fight. She rather heal the wounded than be the one who wounds, since her powers inflict damage to her as well.
Almost puppet or doll-like Oyume isn't without her own dreams. She wishes to make "true friends", but is scared of being betrayed and has trust issues. Oyume can be very timid, but when it counts she can be braver than any person you can meet.
Now that she has opened up more to the world around her, Oyume is standing stronger than before and is devoted to her Onii-chan ("Big Brother"), Onii-Taro. She is rather dependant on Taro, but is slowly changing and is becoming a force which Aide long ago tried to destroy.
Abilities: Keep in mind these abilities can hurt Oyume as well as the one she uses them on. She tends not to fight anyway.
1) Healing. Oyume can use her strange red aura to heal the wounded...But at a cost! The more severe the wound...The more energy it takes and too much can kill her. Her aura is her chakra/life energies!
2) Her Chakras/Life Energies/ Aura. Oyume can manipulate this to do various things like create a shield to protect herself, summoning and even use psychic-like attacks *like almost a telekenesis*.
3) Dreams and Nightmares. Oyume can come in and out of a coma to understand haunting dreams, memories or even...Sort through traumatic or lost memories. By placing her hand onto someone *most likely forehead* Oyume can help someone through the list above or trap them in a nightmarish coma *at the risk of trapping herself*.
4) It's a secret! ^_^
Appearence: White hair, red eyes, kind of dainty/fragile-looking with red, gold and white dress...But she usually conseals herself in a long white hooded cloak. She is constantly carrying around a very worn cat stuffie that she is constantly fixing. Pale skin and strangely her eyes glow with their own light...0.0 She tend sto look as if she's seeing past things and beyond them with a dreamy, yet understanding face mixed with sorrow.
Ideal pic of her:
Bio: ~The Last Hope of a Lost Race~
Oyume's past is shrouded. She wanders aimlessly with little knowledge of her past except that she is the last of her kind. Oyume has little trust for outsiders for it was outsiders that destroyed all she knew.
She avoids fighting if she can because as she causes pain...Her own abilities cause her an equal pain as well. She can remember well the pain throughout her life...Unlike anything else.
Oyume wants to help people in need but does not know how. She looks for guidence, but is afraid to approuch people or even have contact with them. Now, as she travels alone and without any companions she prays destiny will be kinder to her than it was to her secret race of people.
She has recently uncovered that it was Aide's doing that her home, the underground society, Reiusvar, was burned and her people slaughtered.
Side: Tries to stay Neutral but tends to do the Good thing. She is resisting that Darkness that calls to all of us 0.o
*So anyway post your characters and I will see if you are accepted. I will have to be strict with rules since I don’t want this RPG to get cancelled. I will start the actual RPG thread when I see there are enough people. If you read Endless War RPG it might help but it isn’t compulsory. Some people that may join might have taken part in that RPG and may be willing to answer a few questions. So anyway, enjoy this RPG and if you have more questions PM me.*
