Paradisum perdidit (A Square Enix themed rp)

Premise

You are awoken by the scorching sun shining down on you from the sky. Wait…make that two suns. Getting up from the sand you find that you aren’t alone in this desert landscape. Other people, some with unfamiliar clothing and appearances, were strewn around the area looking as confused as you are.


What was the last thing you remember? A normal day in your life…and then darkness, void of all color and life. Then you were here, how much time had passed if any you could not say.


Suddenly a voice echoes inside your head and a vision of a giant crystal floating in the air.


Save me, and salvation awaits.


With that your journey with your allies begins. The only thing standing against you is the world itself. Will you find the light, or be swallowed whole by the abyss?





Welcome to the sign up thread for Paradisum perdidit! As mentioned in the title this will be a Square Enix themed side story, which means the character you pick has to be from a Square Enix property, or from something they later acquired such as Taito, or Eidos Interactive (now known as Square Enix Europe). The Wikipedia link should be helpful but if you are unsure about a character you're considering then just feel free to ask!

Sign-ups will be up for about a week or so maybe a bit longer depending on interest etc, but my plan is to start the rp proper on the 8th of August.

Rules

1. All of STC's rules apply here.

2. Please be respectful towards everyone. As the GM my word is law, but I imagine there wont be a lot of problems.

3. This should be a given, but no godmodding / metagaming!

4. Players of all posting levels are welcome here. That being said, please at least put some effort in whenever you make a post. You can also use images if you want, but keep in mind in that case that I'd like as little IC posts being nothing but image spam or so as possible. Speaking of image spam, please only post a maximum of three images / GIFs per post in order to not flood the page with images that make it harder to load.

5. I plan to go for a quick pace, so it might be beneficial to seek out other users to be your "posting partners" so that you have some people you can stick with. Using the tagging system is very much recommended just so that you or your fellow rpers don’t accidentally fall behind. This is actually very important. It's fine (and encouraged) to only keep up with a few characters / players for the majority of the game, as that is far easier than trying to keep tabs on everyone. Summaries and important GM posts will be made prominent.

6. Please post once a chapter. Chapters will generally last from a few days up to a week, so you'll hopefully have time. Not doing so will result in your character possibly being removed from the game. At the very least, PM me if anything comes up and I'll do my best to keep you around.

7. You're allowed to sign up as up to two characters if you'd like, but the duo will have to be from the same canon.

Character sheet

Appearance: Self-explanatory. Just a picture is fine.

Name: What is your character's name? Do they generally go by an alias / nickname?

Powers / Abilities / Equipment: What is your character capable of, and if they have notable items they carry around, like weapons, is there anything special about them? In any case, even just a Wiki link is fine.

Name: Joy Foster

Age: 15

Canon: Murdered: Soul Suspect

Powers / Abilities / Equipment: Joy is a spirit medium, able to see ghosts, demons, and other paranormal beings. She also has a very powerful scream, one that can tear a spirit from a body it's possessing, or even stun those still living on its own.

Name: Ronan O'Connor

Age: 38

Canon: Murdered: Soul Suspect

Powers / Abilities / Equipment: Ronan is dead, and his spirit lingers on after death. He is a skilled detective, and has the ability to possess people; however, all this lets him do is temporarily read their minds, or use memories to influence them into thinking or behaving in a certain way. He can fight paranormal beings, but things that are corporeal he cannot touch or interact with, save for passing through a living being to give them a chill.

As Ronan is a spirit, no one can see him unless they can possess the ability to see paranormal entities, like Joy.​

Name
Claire "Lightning" Farron

Age
20s

Canon
Final Fantasy XIII

Powers / Abilities / Equipment
Lightning is taken specifically from her time as Etro's champion and protector, granting her Etro's blessing and providing her with divine strength. Her capabilities on a physical level go beyond regular humans, with Lightning possessing supernatural strength and agility that allow her to, for example, scale buildings with a single leap. Lightning also possesses an array of magic abilities, ranging from damaging magic in various elements, spells that empower herself or others as well as spells that do the opposite, and spells that manipulate gravity in an area.

As for weapons, Lightning most often uses a divine shield and a gunblade that functions both as a sword and a gun. She has the power to summon these weapons at will.

Lightning normally possesses the power to command monsters and summon various deities, but such abilities will not be available to her over the course of the RP.​

"Machines aren't capable of evil. Humans make them that way."

Name:
Lucca Ashtear

Age:
19

Canon:
Chrono Trigger

Powers / Abilities / Equipment:
https://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Lucca

For a quick list of her abilities (techs/techniques), check the wiki link... But to make a long story short, Lucca is a pyromancer, but also uses a few weapons of her own in addition. Most of them involve some form of fire, such as her flamethrower, napalm, and megaton bombs, but in addition... She is able to boost the defense of her allies, and even carries around a hypno wave projector which can put targets in a small area around her to sleep.

In addition to this, she carries around a bag, filled with miscelanerous tools and her weapons; a large hammer, a tool that doubles as a close ranged bludgeoning weapon, and a variety of guns, the comprehensive list can be found here. (Note: for the sake of the RP, the Spellslinger simply does more damage the more potent the target is in magic, usually).

Last but not least, she wears a suit and a helmet, made by her father... Taban, increasing her speed, as well as resistance to fire and magic.​
