The Council of the Multiverse I (P2TM RP Group/Chat Thread)

[Kershya]

Here's the long list from the RP book.

Each Persona Trait has a corresponding element and type. Drawback types are more of a hindrance than a power but if you were able to level it up high enough, it’ll be very powerful. There are two opposing pairs, Vice and Virtue, and Personality and Talent, Drawback is on its own.

I have no idea what I'm looking at here.

Basically, each power has a type, an element, and a personality trait associated with it. So if my character ended up being Cruel a lot to the point it becomes his personality trait, he aligns himself to the Stone Element, the trait itself is a negative Vice, and gives the power Touch of Dust, which gives him the power to turn those my character touch into dust.

[The Republic of Atria]

Ah. Okay. Neat! Whatcha need help with?

[Kershya]

Ah. Okay. Neat! Whatcha need help with?

Well, here's what I developed.

No need to justify,
No need to explain,
We are as we are,
Such is becoming.
- Grand Cornerstone Inscription

Once, the Empyrean was whole, it was united, it was in a great golden age. Our kind has lead, guided, protected, and helped the world and its inhabitants. We helped end suffering. We taught many things to the Nascent peoples, the simple mortals of the world. We fought under our chosen ideals. We explored every nook and cranny. We balanced the seven elements of the world.

We are the Eidolons, the world’s chosen. And we failed.

The Great Calamity happened, took us by surprise, and the Grand Cornerstone, the center and foundation of the world, shattered into many pieces. It caused the world to be engulfed by the grey mists of the Aether, to be slowly eaten away into nothing. What remains are a few Realms, floating shards of reality, each different and unique from each other. But we still survive a thousand of years since the calamity, and we can still fight to end the mist and save the Empyrean from total destruction.

- Ramirez, the Guide

Mystic Empyrean is an RP where you play as a demigod charged in fixing the world, you’re power is based on your personality traits, and you can remake a piece of the world in your image, if you’re lucky enough to find a piece of the Grand Cornerstone that has a place trapped within it. And that’s the basic gist of it.

It is a story telling game but instead of static characters, the characters change in many ways. They gain new powers, grow more powerful, lose their now uncontrollable power for Anima Pearls, crystallized mana, to use in crafting new tools and equipment.

There are some things that people should know first though. Your character’s power(s) is based on what sort of personality he/she shows to other people. But I’ll let you guys choose your character’s first power. It is also a group effort. We will vote on what sort of personality trait each character shows every X (TBD) IC pages.

Rules:
Be nice in the OOC. Being a jerk gives you a power, but that’s only in the IC.
No metagaming
No trolling
No Sues of any kind

OP: Kershya

Co-op(s):

What your character is, a practically immortal demigod like being whose appearance and powers reflect your personality.

Most Eidolons were once a Nascent, a mortal being, which ended up becoming into an Eidolon. The first becoming was traumatic for the character as they realized that they change from a being limited by the world into a being that can control the world. The Becoming happens when a character slowly accumulates points in an emerging power as they continually do a particular personality trait.

Superficial Wounds – Made by any weapon or hazard, they’ll easy to heal but has to take a few minutes to do so

Deep Wounds – Made by an attack using great emotion, a wonder, or by the Aether, either temporarily paralyzing an Persona Trait or knocking out the defender

Heart Wounds – Either made by both great emotion and using of a wonder at the same time in an attack, or by violating the tenets of one’s Creed to a severe degree, it will warp a Persona Trait into its opposite and it will have a drawback no matter what level, it cannot be recovered

Pieces of the Grand Cornerstone that has a piece of reality trapped within. By returning the pieces back to what’s left of the Grand Cornerstone, it’ll release the trapped reality within. There are three kinds.

Realms – A place frozen in a moment in time. Whoever release it can make their own Realm.

Paradigm – A universal power/idea or a powerful treasure/equipment. Whoever release it can make any idea work/exist everywhere, even in places that should make it impossible.

Conceit – A special power or secret. Whoever release it will acquire the once lost power/secret personally.

Please know that you get to choose what’s in the Cornerstone. In the IC, the character thinks it’s random.

There are seven basic elements that represent many things. The seven have a Magic the Gathering style ally-enemy element pairs, in this case, ally-neutral-enemy element pairs. Everything has an element, and I mean everything.

Fire – The element of aggression, destruction, power, lust, ambition, anger, and bravery. Eidolons with fire persona traits are usually excellent fighters. Allies with Air and Light. Neutral to Darkness and Electricity. Enemy of Stone and Water.

Light – The element of knowledge, truth, discernment, religion, revelation, order, hierarchy, and pride. Eidolons with light persona traits make good priests, sages, and teachers. Allies with Fire and Electricity. Neutral to Air and Water. Enemies of Darkness and Stone.

Electricity – The element of excitement, speed, surprise, invention, change, agility, and confusion. Eidolons with a high concentration of electricity persona traits are excellent inventors and magicians. Allies with Light and Water. Neutral with Fire and Stone. Enemies of Air and Darkness.

Water – The element of nature, adaptability, life, plants, kindness, charity, compromise, and art. Useful for diplomats and healers. Allies with Stone and Electricity. Neutral to Light and Darkness. Enemies of Fire and Air.

Stone – The element of strength, stubbornness, resistance, selflessness, support, obedience, and stoicism. Makes good teachers and soldiers. Allies with Darkness and Water. Neutral to Air and Electricity. Enemies of Fire and Air.

Darkness – The element of secrets, silence, conspiracy, treachery, lies, envy, crime, and sabotage. Makes excellent spies, assassins, and thieves. Allies with Air and Stone. Neutral to Fire and Water. Enemies of Light and Electricity.

Air – The element of sound, force, communication, trade, talk, boasting, begging, intimidation, cooperation, speech, trade, and society. Makes excellent merchants and politicians. Allies with Fire and Darkness. Neutral to Light and Stone. Enemies of Water and Electricity.

These two are the special elements.

Aether – Death, nonexistence, negative aspects of the elements.

Anima – Birth, existence, positive aspects of the elements.

Known as the Great Five Societies, the five major factions were the stewards that take care of each aspect of Empyrean society. Great, powerful, and with many resources, they however fell into blaming and infighting when the Great Calamity stuck, preventing them from stopping the Aether which eventually consume them all as well. Now they are lost in the Aether’s mist, just waiting to be discovered and saved. Once found, the faction will begin trying to push back the Aether, making an impossible task less impossible.

Currency – All Anima Pearls in the world are immediately converted into AP which allows the buying and selling of wonders and acts as a universal currency. The one who unlocks this Paradigm gains 1000 AP. The amount of AP gained depends on the level of the Persona Trait.

Sliver (Emerging Level) – 1 AP
Drop (Superficial Level) – 5 AP
Pearl (Deep Level) – 20 AP
Crystal (All-Consuming Level) – 50 AP
Heartstone (Completely Maxed) – 100 AP

One is advised to keep their Heartstones as they’re necessary in making Masks.

Here’s the price chart for items.

Minor wonders – 30 – 100 AP
Major wonders – 1000 AP (or priceless for some)
Consumables – 3 – 10 AP
Technology goods and Spellbooks – 5 – 100 AP
Trade goods – 1 – 40 AP
Artisan goods – 10 – 50 AP

Encyclopedias – The world is filled with encyclopedias that contain all manner of items and tools. Each one holds an innumerable amount of unique copies of what the encyclopedia is typed. The items are simple mundane items since wonders can’t be compressed due to its anima. The one who unlocks this paradigm gains an encyclopedia of choice. The very obvious ones like ‘Weapons’, however, are kept in the Citadel Library and can only be accessed by the Librarium Omnibus’ high ranking members.

Masks – The world is filled with masks, which allows Eidolons to temporarily use rare traits. A mask gives the wearer a Persona Trait at the Deep Level. It can only be made by a maxed out Persona Trait as it’s expelled by the Eidolon’s heart as a heartstone. He who unlocks this paradigm gains one mask of choice.

An Eidolon that has the Many Mask (Insecure) trait can wear additional masks for every level of that trait.

Technology – Specific kinds of technology are able to work all across the world instead of just in their relevant realms. The one who unlocks this paradigm gains the mastery of whatever technology he made universal.

Universal Traits – Gives all Eidolons in the world a special power. The one who unlocks this paradigm may utilize the Deep and All-Consuming powers of the chosen trait without experiencing any drawbacks. Everyone gains the chosen Persona Trait, at either Superficial or Deep level depending on the one who unlocked it.

Abundance – The eidolon gains 2000 AP. This is only usable if the Currency paradigm has been unlocked.

Core Values – A Persona Trait becomes permanently a part of the Eidolon. The Eidolon is then able to use all of the chosen trait’s inherent abilities (Superficial, Deep, and All-Consuming) without the drawbacks in the All-Consuming Trait.

Forgotten Treasure – The Eidolon gains a major or legendary wonder of his choice, at the discretion of the rest of the party. He should describe what this wonder is and does as well as its role in the Old Empyrean.

Sealed Memories – The Eidolon gains a new trait by the player’s choice, at any level desired. The player must describe what he has experienced and why it affected the Eidolon in such a way. The player may choose to alter the Eidolon’s personality or creed as a result of this traumatic experience.

Wonder Crafting – The Eidolon is able to create wonders of any way, shape, and form. It requires an Anima Pearl and probably a mundane item. Depending on the kind of wonder going to be made, it’ll take time.

Consumables – One hour, easy to make and one-use only.
Minor Wonders – One day to make, has limited, localized effects, like a flaming sword.
Major Wonders – Five days to make, is powerful and vast-reaching effects like mind control.
Legendary Wonders – Masks and Encyclopedias, the corresponding paradigms must be unlocked first. It’ll take a week to make.

There is no set formula for a given wonder. Instead, players should consider what traits are most closely linked to the properties they wish to imbue.

To Do List:

Description: The Center of the Empyrean, the Grand Cornerstone Shrine is found at its center. There are eight individual regions. Travel to other cities is dangerous as the Aether spreads more and more. Each city and its surrounding region are unique to the point that each one follows their own reality. The seven outer regions are named and based on each of the Great Anima Spirits with the eighth known as Anima at the center, surrounding the Grand Cornerstone Shrine.
Nascent Tribe: Humanity
Heritage Site: Grand Cornerstone Shrine

The Regions:

Description: The region of Anima is centered on the Grand Cornerstone Shrine with Anima City surrounding it. Built by refugees of the lost Realms, the close proximity of the city to what’s left of the Grand Cornerstone has made every possibility possible. The region is saturated with Anima, making the Aether near nonexistent and a safe haven for both the Nascent peoples and the Eidolons.

Description: A wild desert dotted with towns and cities in near anarchy. In this region, everyone is armed to the teeth but they follow a code of honor. In the cities, the god kings of the guilds rule as living gods, ordering the land itself to follow their wills. The towns are more wild and dangerous as powerful animals, bandits, and revolutionaries fight for control while the townsfolk fight for their rights of life, freedom, and family.

A religious place, it is known for their promotion of learning and the rather scientific way of doing miracles and communing with the gods of the region. It is, however, a region of high standards. Simple living, monastic like life style, and the following of sacred law has made hidden resentment against the religious authority.

Description: The mountainous region of Terelt is known for its advance technology and its space program. Ruled by its guiding AI, it promotes progress and innovation by any means. It is in their rather secular belief that the world is dying and the only way to save themselves is by moving into their space colonies, because of this they are exploiting the mountains as a way to advance and improve their space-based technologies before embarking the Great Exodus. At the base and valleys of the mountains, there exists dangerous wildlife corrupted by escaped AIs, nanobots, and machinery.

That is pretty fuggin complicated. It could be that I'm reading from my phone but that is a lot of info to have to remember.

And that's why I need help with it. i just don't know what to cut and streamline in it.

[Nature-Spirits]

On another note, I happen to be seeing snow for the first time in my life right now.

It's cold.

Welcome to the North, my friend.

Unfortunately, I live Beyond the Wall, but if we were on the same side of that nigh-impassable boundary I'd come visit you and make mulled wine for you.

On another note, I happen to be seeing snow for the first time in my life right now.

It's cold.

I think this is the first winter of my life where there is no snow by Christmas.
And I live in fucking Finland. At the southern coast, but still Finland. Home of Santa Claus.

Pfft. Come on, everyone knows that Santa Claus is Canadian. It's right in our national anthem: we're the "True North strong and free".

You missed Arrogant in the traits. Or is it included with Proud?

[Kershya]

I guess so, it could be a combination of a group of traits though.

So we pick any first power from all the Persona traits? Or from pretty much anything in general?

Technically, the first power is suppose to develop during the RP but I felt that would be a bad idea, so I change it to the first personality trait based power is chosen by the player. The rest would develop naturally by how the character develop.

So for the first power, we can take any single power we want?
Are things like Omni-anything or Reality Warping allowed?

No, it'll have to be from the list, due to how connected it all is. Also, all of the powers are reality warping in a way. From turning people into dust from touching them to being made out of food to being able to turn into a weapon, armor, or vehicle. Each power have three levels of intensity as well, with the third level having a drawback since you'll have to act like a stereotypical character with one defining personality trait for it to work.

That's more matter manipulation than reality warping. What is the tech level?

Any. The seven regions themselves have a specific tech level. From an underground medieval kingdom to shamanistic biotech to standard sci-fi to divine religion to modern tech to wild west steampunk to even Lovecraft-tech. Only in the region of Anima where all techs can work due to it's closeness to the source and center of the world.

Hmm. So it's a world building/God rp? Sounds neat. I already have ideas. But some of the other stuff just seems unnecessary. Power growth is fine. But everything else just seems like it would be better without. The crystal thing is just ehhh. You really don't want to leave all powerful trinkets lying around. They're way too easy to abuse. Trust me I'm running an RP where some of said trinkets make you nearly omnipotent.

Well, technically, it's wild west steampunk with Aztec-Mesopotamian influences. The cities are led by God-King ruled guilds after all.

There is friction between the guild ruled cities and the more independent towns though. The towns are more wild west themed, bandits and all.

Why the hell does Frodo spend 3 movies walking to Mount Doom when he could've just rode that giant bird with Gandalf?

[The Starlight]

Why the hell does Frodo spend 3 movies walking to Mount Doom when he could've just rode that giant bird with Gandalf?

Because it wouldn't be exciting, and that would destroy the whole theme of the Lord of the Rings. Also, the Nazgul probably would be able to take one eagle down. But I know where this is going, so don't start, because believe me, I've heard it all when it comes to the
"plot holes" in the Lord of the Rings, when I'm trying to convince my friends to read the books. Anyway, if you want to get more opinions, go to the Middle Earth Discussion Thread that I created in my sig, and you can strike up a conversation there,

I was just wondering if there was a reason in the lore that I missed. As a DBZ fan I understand "because the plot" more than anyone

No problem. Any other questions about LOTR?

[Nature-Spirits]

Personally, I only got halfway through the second book before I quit. The narrative was too long-winded. For instance, here's an example I often quote to my friends: there's an entire chapter devoted to making rabbit stew. I continued to read the chapter, thinking that something plot-relevant would happen, but then... it ended, and all that had happened was Frodo and Sam making rabbit stew. And it wasn't a particularly short chapter, either. In the movie, that chapter is reduced to about 3 seconds of rabbit stew being shown on the screen, and that's it. But Tolkien just loved writing pointless prose, for some reason, and it turned me off the series.
