Due to a leak within the Imagine Source.....an energy concept that is the root and origin of all dreams and creative imaginations in our universe......people from the real world have been waking up as characters from classic fictional literature (Alice in Wonderland etc..), comic books/manga (Spiderman, Naruto etc..), mythology (Titans, centaurs etc...) & even those from their own fantasies although their former lives and memories are still intact somehow.
As a result, magic and the impossible has been brought into our reality. Those who have been gifted with the powers and abilities of various fairytale characters are known as "Fantasians". However, most of these Fantasians have started to abuse their god-given gifts and are using them for personal gains and to fulfil selfish aims. Chaos & panic ensues throughout the world as national governments and local police are trying to counter the sudden rise of meta-crimes to no avail.
With the rise of meta-crimes came the increase of racism against the Fantasians. To protect those who are innocent of the actions of their more rash and wicked kinsmen, The Dragon Queen and the dark & mysterious superhero known as The Batman combined their efforts to create a place that will be the safehaven for all rejects and outcasts like themselves. Thus, in the year 2009, the beautiful independant city-state of Antioch came into existence.
Not even the most powerful & influential people around the world dared to touch this sanctuary for some yet to be known reason. As a result, other fugitives flock to this place with their families and loved ones......happy to resume their lives in peace within the lovely suburban neighbourhood of Serenade Heights.
All young and inexperienced Fantasians were sent to The Hogwarts Academy of Science and Wizardry to have a better understanding of their powers and how to wield them for the good of all. On the other hand, any dangerous and evil fictional characters will be imprisoned within Arkham Asylum.
Despite being under the leadership and protection of The Dark Knight and guided by the wisdom and council of members of The Multiversal Citadel, all is not as well as it seems to be within Antioch.....
The year is now 2014 and Batman's current totalitarian law system is causing quite a lot of unrest among a number of the Fantasians.....particularly those who are more carefree and easy-going and who dislike having him in control in the first place. Despite the effectiveness of his crime fighting methods, many people....including a few members of The Bat Family....are questioning the brutality and ruthlessness of them.
Meanwhile, certain villainous individuals & factions are also on the move as they are planning to utilise various mystical objects of immense power to further their own goals. Someone is targeting babies and young virgin girls and kidnapping them in the middle of the night while the sudden appearance of zombies and other mindless beasts and monsters in the city are putting alot of lives at risk.
Welcome to Imagicraft!......You guys may call me Gamer (or refer to me by my initials G.G) and I will be your honoured hostess and authoress for this RP ^_^
All credits for this concept, idea & its making go partially (alright fine....mostly) to my older brother who unfortunately is too busy with his new college life to co-host this thread with me.
As I'm an inexperienced RPer (this is my first time Roleplaying in anything btw) I'm open to any tips, suggestions and ideas that will help make this RP (and myself) even better.
Notable Locations -Hogwarts Academy of Science and Wizardry
Exactly like the Harry Potter books & movies with the exception that it has two campuses....Science Side and Magic Side...and it is located at the edge of the city.Arkham Asylum
Also just like the comics and the movies except that it serves as Batman's home and castle and the Batcave is located underground of it.Serenade Heights
The starting point for most of your chars. Everybody can start their first post in the IC by moving into this lovely neighborhood which is located within 15 minutes walking distance to the academy. It is not compulsory but expected of most of you to get your character to reside in here. In that way we have a good opportunity to make alot of interactions with one another and more chances of keeping this thread alive.
The Factions -
Antioch has two law enforcement agencies...The Sun Squad
Responsible for all daylight security affairs and the safety of civilians when the sun is up. Their shift starts at 6:30 in the morning and ends at 6:30 in the eveningThe Bat Family
The night-time law enforcers of Antioch and the Caped Crusader's most trusted allies even though all their histories and personalities might be a little more different than in the comic books. They are responsible for safe-guarding the city at night to the dawn. The Bat Family is usually composed of vigilantes or people who have a tragic past or has known what true horror and fear really is.The Multiversal Citadel or Multi-Cite
The governing body of the city consisting of the most wisest, strongest and smartest characters in fictional history who have been chosen to lead and guide the people. They are headed by The Dragon Queen and The Batman although he rarely attends their meetings and always sends someone else to take his place on the board.
Any and all characters from fictional books/novels/comics/manga are welcomed here. If you don't want to RP an already existing character you can also create your own. This is the opportunity for you to express out your every creativity and imagination to the fullest.....but....as long as they ...
A) are able to properly fit into this current setting and not derail it in any way
B) are not exact copy of another person's char or an alternate version of them.
C) have suitable weaknesses that can be exploited
Gods, demigods and deities from myths are allowed but as they are living on the material plane I expect their powers to be zeroed down to near superhuman.
Also. Batman may not have the powers of Superman but nonetheless.....he has as much authority here as The Dragon Queen and his word is law. He will or should know your weaknesses and how to use them to stop you if you go too overboard. So show him the respect he deserves and be very careful of godmodding or trolling others.
Vacant Government Positions
- Lord Commander of The Golden Guard - Handles all affairs regarding the protection and security of The Dragon Queen and the entire defence of the City. In times of great emergency, the Sun Squad and The Bat Family falls under his/her control.
