Welcome to my new Role Play. For now, I call it Project D. This RP is a bit different from others, and isn't quite developed yet. See my journal for more information on that. This RP is in a sort of developing phase, and I need input from other people to help it along. So please bear with me as there may be more restrictions than one is used to. Note: An updated version of this will follow after this one has run its course. Anyone who participates here is encouraged to participate in that one when it comes (long way off). If you would like to comment or make a suggestion, please PM me and title it Project D. Enjoy!

Also, we have an OOC thread for the discussion of the plot and recruitment of extra people, primarily bad guys. Please see it for more details on being evil in the world of Project D. This really means that if you want to be evil, you must read the OOC thread and post your request there as it specifies. I sitll accept PM's, but villains need to request over there.

One of our RP'ers has decided to help with Project D's existance in the real world and is publishing it on Fiction Press. The link is right here. Please bear in mind that this is just the beginning.

Also, some of you may have seen the banner for our thread. Wondering what the code is? Here you go:
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14318011&page=1][img]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b213/Nyphistra/banner.jpg[/img][/url]


Due to various questions that have been raised by Project D posters and lurkers, I am condensing information about the Project D world in my journal as a form of an essay. These posts are known as The Laws of Project D. I recommend them to anyone who is interested or confused about the Project D world, but I also would like to remind everyone that they should read at least the first page before looking at these--they do get very technical. I think there will only be three or four of them, although more may be added later.
The Rules.

Because this is a developing thing, the rules are a little more restrictive, but hopefully allow for more input.

1. Adhere to the TOS. I am very firm about this. This is meant to be appropriate for all ages.

2. Spellcheck your posts. A typo here or there isn't a problem, but understanding posts is. If the posts can't be understood, it isn't very effective.

3. Please keep within the bounds of your character. I am providing a basic description of each, including personalities and names, but these should function as frameworks. You are free to act as you think they should act, but don't do anything rediculously outside of their bios.

4. As implied above, sexual topics should be avoided. A little romance is fine and encouraged in a few cases, but things should not go much beyond that. If anything between any of the characters is to be sexual, it should be implied only. I am rating the sensuality of this thread at PG-16, or standard High School stuff, the rest of the thread should follow the TOS and be PG-13.

5. All new people must read the plot synopsis on this page. It may not always be kept exactly up to date, and it doesn't have so many details as the thread does. Because of this, new people should also review the last five or so pages before they begin posting. It is highly reccomended that newbies read the first 15 pages. I understand that the synopsis is a wall of text and maybe one doesn't want to read it, but I will also say that it is better than making a person read every page so far, as that amounts a little too much I think.

6. To request to join, please send a PM titled "Project D" to either myself or neko_amamori (she's actually faster at responding to these than I am, so you're better off sending it to her). In this PM, please state which character you would like to be, and any changes you feel should be made to the character. If you have an original character, the full profile must be sent. Also, please include your first post, or what you think it would be if you were accepted, in your request PM. Important! Neither of us will consider you unless you submit this first post in your PM. This does not mean you have been accepted into the thread yet, so please do not actually post in the thread until we give you the ok.

If I feel anything else needs to be added, I'll put it up.

Moderators are people in addition to myself who have been around for quite some time and hold authority within the thread. This list is new, but exists to clarify anyone's doubts or questions.

The D-verse

I call it that because it isn't a universe and multiverse doesn't quite work. Project D takes place within the D-verse (obviously) but the D-verse is very large. I am being quite sincere about very large. The D-verse consists of five cosmi (plural of cosmos), each infinite in size. Each cosmos is named and contains certain broad generalizations. Each cosmos also contains a number of dimensions. This number may be infinite or finite, that is somewhat irrelevant. The dimensions themselves may be either finite or infinite in size, regardless, they occupy a certain amount of space within their cosmos. Each dimension contains a number of universes. Again this number is unimportant. Each universe may be infinite or finite, but occupies a certain amount of space within a dimension. The boundries of every universedimensioncosmos is made of the same stuff, and yes, infinite things do have a boundary. Outside of the cosmi is a substance known as Ultima. The Ultima is yellowish and highly corrosive to anything not angelic or under similar protection.

Universes may not exist outside of a dimension, and dimensions may not exist outside of a cosmos. This has to do with the lining of each body.

The Dragon Kingdom exists in a pocket universe inside Earth. The most common entrances from Earth are manhole covers. Most have been sealed, but a few reamin open to the Dragon Warriors--the 13 main characters and the elite fighting force of the Dragon Kingdom. Despite being the Dragon Kingdom, the current ruler and the previous ruler are both human. No one questions this. The only sport in the Dragon Kingdom is Fireball. It is like basket ball, soccer, and hockey smashed together. the only thing is that the holder of the fireball can change it's shape to help get it in the goal. The sport will not be likely to feature prominently in this RP.

There are 14 elements which may be used, I personally will take charge of one to keep it from overusage. Each character has an element and only that element, except for Maraele, who is a special case. These elements are as follows:

Dragon, Golden, Water, Desert, Ice, Forest, Electricity, Magnetism, Crystal, Wind, Gravity, Darkness, Light and Healing

Each character will have control over their element which will be explained in the Characters section.

Another thing which is unique to the characters is a crest. The idea for these came from Digimon, and some of them are directly from the series. I will post more on them in the Characters section. Additionally, the human characters (not Daniel) all have dragonic capabilities. They may transform into dragons and they may utilize certain traits when human (i.e. firebreathing, firehandling, voice amplification, claws)

A final note on the Cosmi. The first one, the Aegean, houses Earth and is the home of the Dragon Kingdom (name needs help) along with the characters. The second one, currently unnamed, houses the Book of Knowledge. It has few dimensions and universes in it, and most of the contents of the universes are akin to asteroids and lifeless hunks of planets. Only two universes within one dimension still retain life other than the Book. There is also a little space outside that dimension which houses life. The third cosmos, currently unnamed, is nothing more than fire and plasma. There is no life there, no dimensions or universes. Everything is extremely hot and akin to the lake of fire. The fourth cosmos, the Fantasy cosmos, is empty. It is empty and cold and there absolutely nothing there. It is as small as something can be, yet still infinite. This takes some thought. And the fifth cosmos, the Olympian cosmos, is home to a great race of beings known as the Olympians. They are the master race in all the cosmos, and have a utopian society, blah blah blah. Their leader is Zeus, successor to Chronos. They sent colonists to Earth once and are responsible for many of Earth's mythologies, not just Greco-Roman (These various mythologies do not include Celtic).

That is about all I have to say about the D-verse. Good luck.
Characters.

These characters do have names, but you may change them after letting me know. Genders are a little more difficult to change, but feel free to play someone of a different gender. While a little romance between the characters is necessary, there should not be anything too heavy, and nothing sexual between them. Each character has their own weapon as well as gem. You are free to choose your own weapon. When you ask about playing a character, simply state what weapon and name you would like to use. The default name and weapon are listed. If you want to change their age, go ahead (Naomi, Caleb, and Sharon must stay the same as listed, the others are flexible). Please PM the request to either neko_amamori or myself, along with any changes in the character you are suggesting, and your first post.

Weapon: Sword
Other: She is not attracted to Eric at all. She is quiet and the most introverted of all the group. She feels outcast because of the nature of her element. In reality, hers is just as necessary as the others. She is drawn to Seiya, though she can't tell why.

Weapon: Sword -- Katana style
Other: Seiya is the opposite of a fallen angel, what Josiah calls a risen demon. He is a demon which has recognized his evil and repented to try and atone. As such, he retains many demonic abilities such as flight, claws, appearence shifting, planar travel, and a sixth sense that detects evil. He is limited by his past and is loathe to use any of his former abilitie, preferring to stick with his elemental powers. Seiya avoids most human contact. He is drawn to Savannah, though he can't tell why.

Element: All of them, though she is best at Healing and Dragon
Crest: Purity
Appearance: A thin little girl with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
Weapon: None
Other: Maraele is a strange orphan girl found in the other Earth by the duplicates. She is exceptional in that she possesses every element in equal measure, though it is not known how strong she is. She has great control over her powers when working any piece of magic at least moderately advanced. Anything below that, and she can't control it at all. She is also extremely easily to frighten and trusts very few. For some reason, both the goddess Nephrale and the former King Xanu have taken a personal interest in her.

Name: Kira
Played by: Dryctarth
Age: 35
Element: Dragon
Crest: none
Appearance: A little girl about Maraele's age, with green-gold eyes and dark brown hair.
Weapon: Proficient with Western-style swords, knives, axes, spears, and simple handguns. She knows how to use others, but is not that good.
Other: She is a human-dragon hybrid, so her lifespan is closer to that of a dragon, while her mind and personality are human. Her body is also closer to human than dragon, however, her dragon side causes her to age very slowly, so she only looks seven. She can also change her form in the ways that the human Dragon Warriors can, but only to a hybrid form with wings, claws, a tail, and green scales on her torso, upper legs, and tail. The aging condition was recently reversed to that of a human by Nephrale, so that Kira could be with Maraele in the future, whom she is in love with.

There you all go. If none of these suit your pleasure, you may join as a made-up character. However, these characters do not have the same elemental powers as the pre-mades. It is highly advised that you join as a pre-made! Original characters are subject to more scrutiny and requirements than pre-mades, and may not make it as true main characters. All requests should be submitted on the OOC thread, or via PM, and are subject to both my approval and neko_amamori's approval.

New characters:

Name: Davey
Played by: The_Ragnarok_Knight
Age: 25
Element: Darkness
Appearance: Blond hair, green eyes, about 6' 1", blood-red knights armor
Weapon: Twin Daggers
Other: One of Zeus's former bodyguards. He was sent down to the Dragon Kingdom after he challenged Zeus's authority. He lost in the battle with Zeus, and was forced to descend only knowing his name. He was sent to Earth, and then heavily drugged. He awoke naked, and climbed out of the chamber. He found a suit of armor, and donned it (after raiding a clothes store, of course). He is good at heart, but is not afraid to fall into the path of evil to get the job done, and done right. His twin daggers will appear as he needs them in beams of light. Those daggers were given to him by Zeus himself, but Davey does not know where he got them, since when he descended, all memory of his time in the higher plane was suppressed. They are slowly coming back to him in dreams, but he cannot interpret them as of yet.
Plot Synopsis

The plot synopsis that was here has been moved to my journal, where it exists in two parts. This does not in any way mitigate the reading requirement I have. All further updates will still be in this post, as the part that's been moved is only the synopsis up to page 218. The entries may be found at the links below.

Part 1 - http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/index.php?mode=view&p=8468872

Part 2 - http://www.gaiaonline.com/journal/index.php?mode=view&p=8468938

Kira reassures Maraele that everything will be ok and makes her way to the bridge, where Seran has disarmed the last man there with her magic. Kira takes the man to the holding cells for interrogation, and then returns to the bridge. Sojiah lays in an autopilot program and heads to Security with Seran, finds it empty, and returns to their suite to sleep. In the meantime, Sharon has freed herself from the rebels and wiped the place clean, rescuing Maraele and the puppy. She sends their coordinates to Kira, who overrides the auto-pilot and sends the castle to pick them up. Stopping outside of town, she flies in and collects the two of them and returns to the castle. There, Davey has been zonked by the seals on Sojiah's suites, and the people who were all asleep in Sharon's room wake up and begin cleaning. Kira, Mara and Sharon arrive and return to their rooms to rest. Sharon finds Josiah in the prison crystal and lets him go and explains what happened, then the two help clean up.

Once they finish cleaning up, Sharon sends the others all to Eric's suites and she and Josiah return to the fight from earlier. They resolve it quickly and settle in to sleep for the night like everyone else. In the morning, everyone wakes and gets breakfast. Kira teaches Maraele to cook while Sojiah and Seran watch and then nap. Sharon and Josiah make a visit to the library and spend the morning reading. After breakfast, Maraele shows off some small golems she had made is substitute for dolls and toys and Gwee has a small fight with a knight. Having eaten, they go visit the library, where Maraele is handed the first in the Kathrynn Prescott series chronicling the lives of the dragon warriors, and Kira finds a book on gods and goddesses and mythological figures. They return to the suite and read, finding Sojiah and Seran awake and eating the breakfast remains. The littles go read on the couch and the adults comment on Kira's new blushing at Maraele while they eat.

After breakfast, they decide to give Kira and Maraele their own suites, a set called the Elemental suites, and go give the littles a tour. The suites are the second-most prestigious and are composed of magic representing all the elements. Additionally, they function just like the closets and cabinets and can materialize anything that the inhabitants ask for. The littles excitedly thank the two royals who fill out the paperwork officially adopting Maraele and establishing her permanent residence, also deciding to go pay a visit to Ms. Prescott to obtain autographed copies of the Dragon Warrior books for Maraele. After that, they continue to work on paperwork, signing various things and such, and setting the castle on a course to visit Ms. Prescott.

Sojiah and Seran make plans for a ball as Kira and Maraele test the rooms' materialization and practice sparring with squeeky swords. After a quick bout, they continue to explore their rooms and get into a snowball fight, which ends badly, making Kira snuggle Maraele for a while. In the meantime, Sojiah and Seran invite Maraele, Kira, and the friends from the other world to their birthday ball, making everyone very excited. The two girls go to check their closet and try on the dresses.
Schedule Constraints

9-17-07

Wow, I'm bad with this updating stuff. Alright, anyone who pays attention to this post might find this useful I suppose. It's a new semester at school and a new schedule. Again most of my free time is in the evenings, but I have a lot less of it than I did last year. I also have sporadic times throughout the day available, and most of the weekends free. Most of.
Welcome and Note on Weapons and Duplicates

I'd like to announce that Project D is now up and running! Please post a request to be a certain character. If that is one of the pre-mades, include what name and weapon you'd like to use. If you are posting with a made up character, please include a bio similar to what the pre-mades have. Remember to include race and power your character may possess.

A note on weapons for the pre-mades: your elemental powers can be used via your weapon as well as on their own. Your weapon is like an extension of you, not only a nice thing to hit people with. The weapons came around when each of the 13 was given his or her gem and elemental control. They are not limited to a sword, however, the weapon descriptor is simply the most often used wepaon by a character. The weapons themselves may actually be molded and changed into whatever form the character desires. The limit here is no guns, artillery, or explosives. Furthermore, the 13 also may enhance their current weapon with their gem itself. This results in exactly the smae thing as before, except it looks cooler and has more power, in fact, the person has more power too. A person may also use some other weapon in case they don't like their own, though the other weapon loses all advantages that their weapon has.

Random other people generally use normal weapons, sometimes enhanced with a spell. If a non-main character is strong enough (as any made-ups are likely to be), then they can manifest their own weapon, though its strength is in between that of the NPC's and the 13. It would therfore have characteristics between the two. Able to be shaped to whatever the user wills, but also more likely to stay in one or two forms due to strength issues. They also do not have a gem, so they can't make an enhanced version. But they can use it as an extension of their power, like the 13 can, and unlike NPC's.

Each of the main characters with the exception of Kira, Maraele, and Seiya have a duplicate in the world the thread is currently in. These duplicates are very similar to the main characters, and are generally played by the same user who plays a main character. For convenience, below are listed the duplicates and their location in the current plot setting:

Sojiah: King of the world and Josiah's duplicate.
Seran: Sojiah's wife and Queen of the world: Sharon's duplicate.
Nicole: Sojiah's younger sister and Naomi's duplicate. She sub-rules over Europe, basing her home in the town of Syre in northern Scotland.
Fletchard: Sojiah and Nicole's younger brother and Caleb's duplicate. He is in charge of Global Military and lives aboard a submarine.
Tabitha: Paige's duplicate and a "prisoner" in Nicole's castle. She would have sub-ruled North America before the rebellion.
Sareine: Sara's duplicate, now held prisoner in South America, which she would have sub-ruled over before the rebellion.
Lacele: Lacey's duplicate, would have commanded Global Technology and spy networks, but became the leader of the Rebels and headed the rebellion. Location unknown, last seen in Syre.
Lexer: Alex's duplicate, would have ruled over Global Air and Space stuff before the rebellion, but was captured and kept prisoner with Sojiah and Seran for amusement. Escaped and was last seen in Japan, leading a flight gang tied in with the Rebels.
Kari: Carolyn's duplicate, would have ruled over the Orient (everything in the vicinity of China and Japan still on the continent) but disappeared during the rebellion at the government's orders. Location and fate unknown.
Jaden: Jared's duplicate, would have sub-ruled Oceania and Australia, but resigned at some point after the rebellion. He wanders around, purpose unknown, but Sojiah and Seran trust and keep in contact with him.
Reikov: Eric's duplicate, would have sub-ruled Asia (everything except the Orient) but was captured and killed during the rebellion.
Svena: Savannah's dupplicate, would have sub-ruled Africa, but disappeared completely when the rebellion began, never seen since.

Please direct any suggestions or questions to me or to neko_amamori via PM's entitled Project D. Have fun.
((Please feel free to join in. It's awfully lonely up here in the afterlife))
((Time to make one last try))

Josiah stared down at the palace from the heavens. It was night, and few people were around, there was a big Fireball match in progress, and he knew most of the populace loved the sport. He sighed and floated into the palace looking for Sharon, or anyone else for that matter. Naomi would be nice to find too, but he would settle for Josh if he could. Of course, Josh was probably at the game too.

He floated around some more, visiting the kitchen, the neglected armory, the treasury (someone was actually in there, although not in the most positive sense). Josiah stopped the youngling and explained his errors. The poor dragon looked so terrified that he dropped everything loudly and cowered before the dead man. Josiah pardoned him and gave him a parting gift to remember his actions, a coin imprinted with the seal of Xing Chow, the ruling dragon seven before Josiah. Eight before Sharon.

Hmm, succession, he thought, sitting on a pile of coins. I doubt anyone will want to take up the throne after Sharon leaves. The problem comes with finding a suitable replacement. There are a few dragons who have ties to the imperial line, but no direct descendants. I assume it will pass on to some dragon though. There aren't any human descandants to follow, and I doubt the others will be around when Sharon leaves. Perhaps I should ask Xanu, but I'm sure he won't tell me anything. He seems to think we should leave the world to the living, without any help at all. And he's so cryptic and riddling anyway. Rargh! where is everyone?
Josiah gave up waiting and left the treasury. He floated around some more, finally leaving the more or less empty castle. He passed through the town into the square where a great crystal once stood. The crystal was now Lacey's Crystal Gem, hanging around her neck from a claspless chain. Funny how those chains worked. Josiah sat on the hexagonal pedastal and waited. Someone was bound to come, weren't they?
((Please join. Do it for the cute little dragons, do it for the cookies, do it for the fluffy bunnies. Really, it's not a meany bad RP, I promise. heart ))
I wish you hadn't said it was dead. it could be really cool. Well, if its every revived, I will be Naomi, the water elemental.
