Tantamount, What is the price for equality? Rating Options

[Nightstorm]

((This being my first attempt at creating an RP, I can’t promise a good time, but I’ll try my best. With that said, let us move on to the basics.

Anyone can join at anytime throughout the RP. No user is limited to the use of one character; just make sure that all characters are efficiently kept track of. For character use, any will do. You could range from anyone from cartoons/anime and video games to the fictional characters in written media. This can also include self-made characters if you want to use them as well. The only limitation is that I ask you to try to avoid using characters already used within the Infinium RP.

For signing in, the usual bios will work.

Name:
Age:
Media (You can include “Self-made” here if you’d like and exclude the next one):
Name of Media:
Description (This will include appearances, powers, background story, and whatever else you can come up with. This section I’m not picky about but the four above ones are essential.):
Other info:

Now then, onto the story part of this. This RP takes place in another dimension or realm. The characters can start out wherever, but they’ll all still be contained within a bridge micro-realm known as Magna Tohlin, basically ten times the size of a massive city. Now it’ll be up to you as to how your character is summoned or teleported or whatever into this micro-realm, but for the general, I’ve included the following situation for those who go with the “summoning” aspect.

NOTE: By the time of this edit, the group is now within a realm known as Kemla. Due to this, the below summoning intro can still be used so long as it is discussed with me, but I'd advise that new characters seek alternative methods to reach our protagonists.
________________________________________

The enveloping white light slowly fades from your eyesight as details to your surroundings are restored. You seem to be standing, and yet adrift; conscious, yet trying to wake up from this surreal dream.

A small house rests in front of you, its sole occupant standing before you; a young woman shrouded in the shadows. http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...xholic02ka4.jpg http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...liccoversx8.jpg

You don’t exactly know what to say at the moment. Only one question comes to mind. “What happened?”

“You have been called,” the woman replies bluntly, keeping her stare locked on you and you alone.

Your head’s still a little groggy, so trying to make sense of all this is a struggle. “Called? I don’t understand,” you reply, shaking your head. “Where am I? And more importantly, who are you?”

“Who I am is of no importance - for now,” the woman states. “You are here because it was determined that you and I should meet. You have been called because you are capable of fulfilling a particular need of a world - a duty that the realms wish to be completed.”

“Then... I’m no longer in...” you stop as you slowly begin to realize your situation. The woman gives no response, so you continue.

“Why have I been called? Why not find someone else?” you ask in earnest. You were going to continue about the needs that you had to look over back within your own world, and how fulfilling someone else’s wish on the fly wasn’t exactly plausible, but the woman cuts you off.

“Your coming here was inevitable, my dear, regardless of whether you wanted to or not,” she explains. “You have a destiny to complete and there are others who follow the same path as you. The road already lies ahead of you - all you have to do now is take the first step.”

Already, you feel a strange feeling wash over your body - almost as though every molecule were stretching away from the other. A feeling similar to static electricity, an elastic sensation that makes your hair stand on end.

The scenery around you begins to grow darker and fade into the shadows of the background. It’s exactly like what had happened before you wound up at this weird place. “Wait, destiny? What do you mean; what am I supposed to do?”

The woman gives a small smile. “Simply find the others like yourself; you will need their strength for the road ahead. You all must be able to rely on each other.”

“When you feel you are ready, come find me again,” she said as though it were a farewell.

And it was. The next moment, darkness completely overtakes your vision and you simply hear her parting words before all senses leave your consciousness.

“Remember - there is no such thing as coincidence; fate will guide your path...”

-------------------------------------

Yuko stood quietly by after the person had departed. There would be more to come, so she had to be ready and guide them the same as she’d done before. Perhaps during the wait, she’d gorge herself on a bit more of Watanuki’s home cooking...

Name: Toa Kopaka

Age: Approx. 100,000+ yrs. old

Media: Toy line, Web franchise, Film, Game

Name of Media: Bionicle

Description:
Appearance:
Height: 6'0"

Weight: Unknown

Physical appearance: http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...7423/8571-1.jpg
While not exactly what one would consider a cyborg, he is half machine and half organic. His armor is pure white and silver while his limbs are a faded gray.

Powers:
Weapons: Dual Ice Blades that can be combined into one sword or used as two. They can also act as skis on Kopaka’s feet. In addition, he also wields a shield strapped to his left arm.

Elemental: Complete elemental creation and control over ice. Able to summon instant-freezing blizzards on the fly or create something as simple as a drop in the atmosphere's temperature by a few degrees.

Masks: Though his trademark mask is the Akaku, Kopaka has several white Kanohi in his inventory, but only one can be used at a time.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/1.jpg The Kanohi Nuva Akaku - the Great Mask of X-Ray Vision - allows him to see through anything nearly 1/4 of a mile underground. In addition, its mechanical components allow him to use the mask as a portable telescopic lens as well, able to spot minute details from great distances.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/2.jpg The Kanohi Nuva Hau - the Great Mask of Shielding - allows him to create an impenetrable barrier around himself and close allies as long as his concentration holds.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/4.jpg The Kanohi Nuva Kaukau - the Great Mask of Water Breathing - allows him to breathe underwater indefinitely.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/3.jpg The Kanohi Nuva Miru - the Great Mask of Levitation - gives him an extra boost in aerial abilities such as jumping and also allows partial floating powers.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/5.jpg The Kanohi Nuva Kakama - the Great Mask of Speed - allows him to move and maneuver at mach speeds as well as giving him matching reflexes.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/6.jpg The Kanohi Nuva Pakari - the Great Mask of Strength - gives him a massive boost in physical strength, allowing him to easily deal with objects nearly 50 times his size.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/7.jpg The Kanohi Mahiki - the Mask of Illusion - grants him access to the powers of illusion so long as his concentration is held.
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/N...storm7423/8.jpg The Kanohi Huna - the Mask of Concealment - allows him to become invisible to all forms of vision.

Weaknesses: Full immunity to the element of ice. Vulnerable to nearly any energy attacks and all melee attacks, though the melee's force is deafened thanks to the armor.

Personality: True to his element, Kopaka is cold and calculating. He prefers to work alone, and considers "duty" to be his #1 priority, but his considerate heart will allow him to help those in need should the opportunity force itself upon him.

Background: Kopaka was created as one of six backup Toa whose destiny was to save the life of the Great Spirit Mata Nui should things go ill for the universe. After a malfunctioned hybernation for over 100,000 years, Kopaka united with the other five Toa of his model to take down all threats to the Great Spirit's life, ranging from the reign of Makuta Teridax and the Bohrok on the island of Mata Nui to the war against the Dark Hunters and the Brotherhood of Makuta on Voya Nui and Karda Nui. With the Great Spirit awake and saved, and yet banished from the universe by Teridax, Kopaka has currently been on the run with the other Toa from Teridax whilst they seek any remaining help to oppose the rampant Makuta.

Other info: Particularly has a bitter hatred towards "fire-spitters" (beings whose element is fire), due to the fact that most he'd come to meet were quick to attack, arrogant, and always trying to be the leader and order others around.

[mightymarty2]

(i am in just have not decided on who to do, or to create my own)

[Anime Princess]

(i'm in deciding which charactor to play but it will be my own)

[Nightstorm]

((That's fine. Just post them in when you're ready to go.))

[P-girl]

((Sounds interesting:

Name: Axl Low

Age: Probably his early twenties (I've got the number 23 in my head.... no idea if it's official)
Media (You can include “Self-made” here if you’d like and exclude the next one): Game
Name of Media: Guilty Gear
Description (This will include appearances, powers, background story, and whatever else you can come up with. This section I’m not picky about but the four above ones are essential.):

Axl is actually from the twentieth century. Born in the slums, he placed himself in the middle of gang warfare to bring peace to the town, and with his extraordinary physical prowess he was able to achieve his goal, without any casualties, in six months time. Some time later, he was forced to travel 150 years in the future. Hoping to gain passage back to his time, he entered the tournament. Instead, he was sent to another time period for a year's time. During that period, he was bounced around in the time-space continuum for an equivalent of three years. Through his journey, he learned that in each time period, there were always rumors of another time traveler like him. Axl believed that by pursuing the traveller known as "the man," he could come upon a way to go back to his time. Sensing the presence of "the man" behind the incident with the Gear, he decides to check it out himself. (Official info)
As for his powers, he wields a dual chained Karigusama (See picture) which gives him INSANE reach, and some fire-related moves.
Axl's your typical lovable goofball; very friendly, positive and helpful, altough he's indeed a bit extremely goofy from time to time and altough he's got a girlfriend, can't help but flirt with every good-looking female around.
Other info: Just my favorite Guilty Gear character (The only game where a time-traveling Brit with looks inspired by an infamous Rocker and many chain-related moves is the mundane one of the cast.

[Ranma]

Name: Shiro Emiya (AKA: Archer)
Age: Unknown
Media: Visual Novel
Name of Media: Fate/Stay Night
Description: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Sha...ill/Archer3.jpg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZBAEk_Ugmk...feature=related

Other Info: (Taken from Wikipedia) Archer is actually an adult Shirō Emiya, the main character of Fate/stay night. He is ultimately the winner of the 5th Holy Grail War, and is a living incarnation of the "Hero of Justice". The Throne of Heroes, which preserves the souls of all Epic Spirits, exists outside of any conventional timeline, so Archer can be called from any point in history. The amulet Rin used as a catalyst in Archer's summoning was the same jewel she used to save Shirō's life shortly after Archer was summoned, though she knew of neither fact, at least at the time. Nevertheless, this creates a time loop, linking the jewel to Shiro so that he is summoned if the jewel is used to summon a Servant, explaining his appearance instead of a Saber-class Servant Rin wanted.

His history differs from the Shirō in any particular storyline, although he is most similar to the version who progressed through the Fate scenario. Archer was formerly Master of Saber. He cares deeply for Illyasviel von Einzbern, and his inability to prevent her death one year after the war's end is his greatest regret. At one point in his future life, Archer finds himself incapable of saving the lives of several hundred people; to change the course of their destinies, he forges a pact with the world, whereby in exchange for a miracle he is obligated to posthumously and indefinitely serve humanity as a Counter Guardian, a spirit that protects the world from disasters. Later, one of those hundred people that he saved uses him as a political scapegoat, executing Archer under the accusations of war crimes for wanton violence and destruction.

Throughout his heroic career, Archer struggles with the same doubt his father, Kiritsugu, acknowledged many years before; when the life of one person is saved, another person must be left to die. After fighting in many future battles, he is horrified to discover himself needlessly slaughtering countless numbers of the nefarious and innocent alike. In time, the once idealistic Shirō comes to the pessimistic conclusion that attempting to preserve all human life is futile, for the few must be sacrificed for the survival of the many. Accepting this concept frustrates Archer, for it betrays his life's conviction and renders his selfless dedication to defending mankind worthless.

Through his deal with the world, he was turned into a Counter Guardian of the world, he still had hoped to serve mankind somehow in afterlife. However, as a Counter Guardian, he is only summoned to prevent the impending doom of the world by eliminating the cause, which usually means killing people who are responsible for bringing the disaster. This is not what Archer had hoped to do, but he is forever doomed to serve as a Counter Guardian by the deal he made with the world, and will have to continue to kill dozens to save hundreds, and thousands to save millions. In the end, he was betrayed even by his own ideal.

Broken, bitter, and angry, Archer gambles on the small hope of being summoned as a Servant back in the 5th Holy Grail War. His rationale is to kill his younger self and cause a time paradox, which Archer hopes will spare Shirō the anguish of realizing his ideals are a sham and free himself from the eternal servitude as a Counter Guardian, even at a cost of ripping the fabric of reality asunder.

To list all of his weapons would be...hard. So I'll post a link to Wikipedia that explains more on Archer.

[Another Morning]

((Oohooh, can I join? =D

I haven't played FFVI in aaaaaaaaaages, so please forgive me if I'm a bit rusty on the details.

Name: Terra Branford
Age: Looks to be somewhere in her 20s? I don't know that it's ever stated.
Media: Video game
Name of Media: Final Fantasy VI
Description: Pic 1
Pic 2
Esper form
Terra is half human, half esper, giving her strong magical powers, among her abilities being fire magic and healing magic, and dispeling. She is also skilled with her saber.
Her origins are mysterious, but she was raised as an Empire soldier using a headband that controlled her mind. After a battle with an esper in the mines of Narshe, the crown's control over her broke, and she escaped. The battle unlocked her esper powers, allowing her to transform into her Esper Form. When in this form, her physical and magic attack and defenses are twice as strong, and she can fly, but she becomes wild and loses control of herself.
Normally, Terra is headstrong, but soft-spoken and gentle. After the headband's control over her was broken, she lost most of her memories, and is thus confused about her own identity. This, combined with her fear of her esper powers, leads her to be reserved and standoffish, but she will help when anything needs to be done. She herself is normally calm (outside of her Esper Form), and doesn't understand most strong emotions.))

((Cool. Your characters have been added to the list. Oh, and just a heads-up, you can start anytime you like; though let me know if you want to wait for anyone else. The major scenery of the place is kind of metropolitan, like one giant city.))

((Oh, and mightymarty2, quick question. Does Martin's Zanpaktou have any abilities? I was just curious as I didn't see it listed.))

[Ranma]

[P-girl]

((Let's start this, shall we?))

Groaning, Axl slowly woke up, as he found himself in a back alley somewhere.
"Not again...." He muttered, getting up and rubbing his head. "Well, at least that woman was a welcome new addition."

[Anime Princess]

Kaori blinked a few times after awakeing in some strange town her left eye showing absolutely nothing "oh great i wonder if theres someone here who knows a bit about bionics" sighed kaori looking around

[mightymarty2]

Martin looked around this definatly was not soal society

[Nightstorm]

((Oh, started already have we??? ))

Alright. There were some things that needed to be corrected here. First off - when will this darned world stop spinning?!

Kopaka continued to blink several times as he let the fatigue slowly leave his system. As far as he knew, this wasn't the afterlife. His heartlight was still beating - albeit, a little fast due to the sudden shock from the teleportation or whatever it was that brought him here.

And speaking of which - where exactly was "here"? He lay outside of a small park, its plants and surrounding architecture completely foreign to him. The environment was made up of structures far different than anything he'd known before - it kind of resembled the major transport hub Le-Metru of Metru Nui, but this seemed a little different. Confused, Kopaka hauled himself to his feet. Well, if what that being had said to him was true, then he'd need to hunt down the others who'd wound up within this world as well. With little other alternative, he quietly began his search by strolling down the adjacent street.
