Your NS Nation's Nickname: Terin

Character Name: Killian Ryder

Character Gender: Male

Character Species: Half-human, half-spirit.

Character Physical Description: 6 foot 1, looks on the thin side of average weight for his height, but is actually quite a lot lighter at 100 pounds. His apparent age is 21, actual age is also 21

URL to Character Picture, if any: http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h47 ... ak7oq2.png

Primary Skill or Power: Spirit Form: The Ability to turn into a spirit, which allows for invisibility, and walking through walls. He is still able to touch and move objects in this form.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: He can’t speak to people in this form unless they have proper EVP equipment, and moving objects takes more effort than it would normally.

Secondary Skill or Power: Spirit World connection: He has a connection with the spirit world, allowing him to communicate with souls of the dead, and see into the spirit world. He can also physically enter the spirit world. The difference between seeing in to the spirit world and entering it, is that he has the enter it to communicate with any spirits or anything like that.

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Entering the spirit world wrecks havoc on his human body, causing him to be weak and sick for the rest of the day. When he sees in to the spirit world, he becomes temporarily blinded for varying amounts of time, depending on how long he was looking into the spirit world. (His eyes when he’s looking in to the Spirit World, and for the duration of his blindness: http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h47 ... 8o8q2w.png )

Character Background/Biography: In the world that Killian comes from, the spirits of the dead sometimes walk free, if their deaths were particularly traumatic. And some of these spirits are able to make themselves practically Corporeal for a short while. Killian is the only one in his world born of a union between a human and a spirit. At first, he seemed like a normal human baby, but when he was 10, he started to change. His skin turned white-grey, and his hair blue. But the biggest change were his eyes. He’d always had bright blue eyes, but they changed to be two shades of blue, with a white pupil. His mom pulled him out of school, and quit her job for a job from home, where she could stay and teach him herself. He became isolated from his own world, but he discovered that he could visit the spirit world, and he found companionship there. Eventually, he heard of Bielefeld, and thought maybe he could fit in there. Saying goodbye to his mom, he made the journey there.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: To find a place where maybe he can fit in.

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character: Born in a union between a ghost and a living human, Killian is half alive, half dead, and it affects who he is as a person, as well. He doesn’t see death as something to fear or avoid, and would kill without much thought, though not without good reason. He is dark and mysterious, and keeps to himself.

Basic worldbuilder comments:

Game Mechanics: Basically, to keep PL neutral for characters, you're either in the material plane or you've crossed over to a specific afterlife destination. This prevents players from doing "I go to Heaven and kill God" bullshit.

Ghosts/Lost Souls:
Ghosts are non-corporeal beings that are trapped in the realm of the living. Some people can communicate with them. They don't have a separate realm... they're stuck haunting the material plane.

Daemons/Demons/Angels/Other:
These beings go from point A to point B. A Heavenly angel can enter the material plane or it can enter Heaven. Note: a Heavenly angel can NOT enter other pantheon afterlife destinations without OP permission.

Afterlife:
This is where PCs go when they die (unless their soul is trapped in the material plane). The place on the "other side" is a physical place. Valhalla is a place. Heaven/Hell/Purgatory is ONE place. Think of each of them as floating balls belonging to a specific pantheon. These balls do NOT touch nor can any creature other than a god visit a ball outside his own pantheon. We set it up this way to avoid conflicts between player canon. PC beliefs determine where they end up. Atheists PCs turn up in the weirdest (OP-determined) places.

Spirit World/Plane: this is a grey area/game mechanic. We needed to establish some boundaries because this is a sandbox RP.

• Character A can summon demons: he can only summon demons from his OWN pantheon and ONLY those tied to that pantheon's afterlife destination. He must have a power level of 7 or greater. No PC can be higher than 7. Players at a level 7 can not "godmod" the summoning as successful. In fact, the demon that turns up does have the ability to break free if not properly bound (OP discretion) and it CAN kill that PC.
• Character B can talk to spirits: he can only talk to spirits in the material plane. The spirits can ignore him if he doesn't have an affinity to them. A Native American may be able to commune with the Spirit of the Bear; a Japanese spirit may not be visible/detectable to him at all. Some spirits can become corporeal - these are fair game for all characters to commune with/kill/etc.
• Character C can visit the afterlife: he can only visit the afterlife belonging to his OWN pantheon. His power must be a 9 in order for him to get back to the material plane although, if the story behind the visit is good, the OP may overlook it for just that story.
• Character D is a Heavenly angel: by virtue of the character concept, he was formed by his OWN pantheon. He can pop between the material plane and his OWN pantheon's afterlife location. His home is in the Afterlife; he's much weaker when walking the material plane. (Note: some old characters such as Lucius are grandfathered in and equal in power regardless of material place/afterlife location.)
• Character E is a mage: he draws upon the magic found in the material plane.
• Character F draws upon ancestral spirits for power: in some cases, these are the "souls" of the dearly departed. They can only draw upon departed from their OWN pantheon.
• Character G is half ghost/half human: his "spirit world" is in the material plane. The only ghosts he can talk to are those trapped in the material plane. He can't commune with spirits that have departed/crossed over to his OWN pantheon's afterlife destination.
  Please note: this spirit world isn't a pretty place. This character isn't omniscient regarding the spirit world, either. Think of it in mortal terms - I know what animals I'll encounter when walking woods in OH; I won't be too familiar with the habits of all animals in FL, and I probably wouldn't know how to handle animals in AU. For sake of narrowing it down further, "Communicate with Spirits" in this case mean "Ghosts", not "All Magical Spirits".

tl:dr
Killian would only be able to talk to the souls of the dead that haven't departed the material plane to reach their applicable afterlife. He can only enter the weird spirit world found in the material plane. He won't be able to talk to all spirit beings; these beings can choose to hide from him.



Also... reminder to all... Cer won't be on until tomorrow. IRL emergency.

Dead atheist PC's end up in random places?

[Erinkita II]

Danke, Swith.

I hope Cer's okay.

[Giovenith]

Danke, Swith.

Same.

[Swith Witherward]

I'm wrapping up some stories and laying groundwork for the meeting. This will give characters a chance to finish up last-minute business. Time is flowing loosely in IC: the teens haven't done much so they're still on morning time. We have a revive that can't happen until later in the afternoon, so players working that story are on that time. My evening prep post is meant to set up the meeting area itself and lay some groundwork. Due to Cer's happy situation, we're skipping some of his groundwork (he can do a flashback if need be).

Once everyone lets me know their groundwork is done, I'll timeskip us all to the same time of day so we can start the meeting. The dining room is closed until then.

Teen PCs: if you have any questions you want to ask Marcus, now's your chance. PLEASE don't let it turn into conversation that isn't somehow tied into the meeting. We don't have time for idle "tee hee" chitchat. I know Giovenith stated that she wanted to check on Marcus, and I'm guessing Gio has taken a cue from Cer's post and is trying to place characters in a position to gain insight prior to the meeting's start. We can probably knock out several posts while others are getting their stuff in order.

Some of those places are hilarious.

Just like Tsu's soul meadow when she dies?

[Swith Witherward]

Just like Tsu's soul meadow when she dies?

That was blown up when Naomi had her nervous breakdown (the one where she tried to kill Bran and Rachelle, and Bones helped her purge her pain and sorrow.)

;~; Nuuuu! not Tsu's place of happiness, where is she suppose to go now!?*totally not planning to kill Tsu* XD I want to read that post .

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

I think she was the tallest where is Elka?

Elka is wandering the halls at the moment, just outside of Nick's room.

[Giovenith]

I'm wrapping up some stories and laying groundwork for the meeting. This will give characters a chance to finish up last-minute business.

My evening prep post is meant to set up the meeting area itself and lay some groundwork. Due to Cer's happy situation, we're skipping some of his groundwork (he can do a flashback if need be).

I believe it was Torii who actually suggested going to see Marcus.

Flashback or whatever you need to get through with things is fine.

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

Hey, just a quick clarification, Tsu. Adri's the pony-like one whereas Elka's the rodent. :I

[Northwest Slobovia]

Unless somebody comes in to say hi to Amanda and Sandy, I'm done.

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

Oopies!

[Swith Witherward]

One of you brilliant people did.

I'm working on a large post. I'll have Marcus open his door momentarily.

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

Hey, just a quick clarification, Tsu. Adri's the pony-like one whereas Elka's the rodent. :I

Oopies!

And actually, looks like we're having a timeskip to the meeting soon. We might want to save the introductions for afterwards.

[The BranRiech]

Sorry for the lack of posting, guys! I've been hanging out in an OOC for an RP about to start, and haven't had much time here I'm afraid. I'll definitely be changing that.

[Giovenith]

I'm very tired, hitting the sack. Will reply to whatever is next first thing in the morning.

[Tsuyoi Tekikoku]

Oopies!

And actually, looks like we're having a timeskip to the meeting soon. We might want to save the introductions for afterwards.

Welp.

[TotallyNotEvilLand]

Alright, so do we start sending characters to the dining room now or wait until a little later, seeing as the post said 5:30?

[Swith Witherward]

Alright, so do we start sending characters to the dining room now or wait until a little later, seeing as the post said 5:30?

Wait until later. I'm giving the teens a chance to ask last minute questions, and Sep needs to reclaim his body, before we start the meeting.

Alright. Just getting kinda confused, don't mind me.

[Highfort]

Will be getting the waking up post on in a bit. In the meantime, Septimus' new profile picture: http://i.imgur.com/YjIjswF.jpg. Update the character page accordingly, please. Thanks!

I added it to his to-do list.

[Erinkita II]

Would this building residents' meeting be a good time to introduce the new characters?

[Erinkita II]

Will be getting the waking up post on in a bit. In the meantime, Septimus' new profile picture: http://i.imgur.com/YjIjswF.jpg. Update the character page accordingly, please. Thanks!

Badass. Did you make that?
