Multiple Settings Saving The (Dream)World {Interest Check}

[DarkiusHeavenstein]

This idea will be on hold and not made into a roleplay for now. You are free to express your interest or ask questions or voice any concerns. Due to other interests coming up where I had more inspiration for, I put this on a soft pause. I might still make it into a roleplay at some point, but that won't be until 2020 (or when I have more time again).

• Have you ever wondered what happens to those who are in a coma? What they experience? Or have you ever questioned after fainting why a certain color, shape or even voice stuck out so much? Or do you ever ask yourself why you see stars when you lose consciousness?
  
  Well, search no more, for I have the answers to those questions, wonders and curiosities!
  
  Those things your remember when coming through? That is a glimpse from the life of your alter ego in Somnium. Somnium is a dimension were everything is possible and the only limit is your imagination. But Somnium is in danger! Tenebris, its twin dimension where nightmares come from, is slowly taking over more and more...​
• So this roleplay will be dealing with two dimensions that are all connected through the psyche of people. The first dimension is the dimension every one knows. The dimension we live our plain every day lives in: Vitae. There are no special powers here, no magic, no nothing. Just humans and human problems. However small or big they may seem. A dimension that knows happiness, love and all that is good as much as it knows sadness, hatred and all that is evil. It is a more or less balanced world. The other dimension Anima Mea has two kingdoms Tenebris and Somniun. They are each others opposites. Somnium is the kingdom of dreams, and Tenebris is the kngdom of nightmares. Both depending on the other to exist and mostly they are at a 50/50 rate. But lately there has been so much dark energy in Vitae that Tenebris has been fed more and more. They are invading Somniums territory, but Somnium is not powerless! They have the Eight! Eight ancient warriors from the First Darkness when Tenebris took all. The Eight have sworn to never let such thing happen again and now that Tenebris is growing stronger the Eight have awoken again. Ready to strike back and return both dimensions to balance.
  
  Our eight (such coincidence) characters are just every day humans living a normal life in Vitae. They know nothing about this other dimension and they will probably know nothing of it. They know nothing of the battle going on and the danger that Vitae is in. For if Tenebris takes over... life as we know it will be gone. Still these people will play a vital role in the survival of Vitae. They are the hosts of the Eight! For you see, all that lives in (name) is an reflection, an alter ego you could say, from the life on Vitae. However in order to really make a change these alter egos need to be active and not a mere ghost of themselves and they can only be active (or concious) when their host is not. The Eight decide, in order to save all that is life, to overtake their hosts whenever necessary and that in turn causes random unconsciousness with their poor hosts. Will they be able to save Vitae in the end? Or will Tenebris overrule and cover all in darkness?
  
• 1. This roleplay is gonna be very different from (most) other roleplays I have seen on this site so far. You will be playing two characters, your own human and their alter ego in (name). Your human in Vitae is completely up to you to style and work out, the alter ego however is not and you will not know what the alter ego is like until your character has been accepted. I will then use a character generator to create a skeleton for you to use as alter ego. You can however customize the alter ego and add detail as you wish, but the base will be what I generate for you!
  2. While your characters in Vitae maybe best friends, they may be complete rivals in Anima Mea. Of course the Eight know they have to work together, this does not mean they all will like each other. And while the alter egos know their hosts, they cannot say their hosts names. The humans will not (or only very vaguely) remember anything from their alterego's life in (name).
  3. The take over will happen at random. I just in admidst it all, post a GM post with the setting in Anima Mea and then you switch to the alter ego. Whatever conversation / situation has been going on in Vitae is immediately interrupted, for the human will lose their conciousness in order to be in Anima Mea. A day in (name) will be 30 minutes in Vitae. So When they are only for a short while in Anima Mea it will be simply passing out, fainting etc in Vitae. Trouble will come when the Eight are needed for longer and the humans may be slipping away in comas... Who knows?
  4. During this roleplay, and all connected to it, RNP rules will fully apply. Other than than normal roleplaying rules (such as no godmoding, no powerplay, no perfect chars etc) will apply as well.
  5. If you want to participate in this roleplay. You will have to apply for one of the eight Human roles. You cannot chose your power on beforehand. This shall be decided with the random generator. To apply for this roleplay, you must be willing to be active on the discord and to plot along with me or at least answer questions and give your opinion when I ask you though. For the roleplay itselves you have to a detailed writer. The posting minimum shall be 3 paragraphs. You will also have to be able to write with a character that might not be your first choice and is randomly generated for you. So if you are only able to write one kind of character or one kind of trope, this roleplay is not for you.
  6. I have the right to turn down and rejects players that I do not see fit for this roleplay. This can be based on behaviour, the Character Sheet, or past experience. It is not a first come, first serve roleplay. This does not mean new people are not welcome! I would absolutely love to get to know some new people. This also does not mean that if you are my friend, you are automatically in!
  7. Depending on how popular this will be, I will decide on a deadline for the Character Sheets, make the Sign Up and the discord. If I end up with eight players but not all roles covered, I will first those eight players first to fill in the open roles, before reopening the roleplay for applying. Please let me know on beforehand what role or roles you would be interested in. SImply because I would like to keep score, and so people know how many people they are up against. Once the deadline is activated I will not allow any more new people to apply (unles there are unfilled roles), and you will have no more than a week to complete any WIPs. After that I will make my decision on whom is best for the roles.
  8. I shall have a co-GM @iShyShy
• These are the humans that you can apply for. For the sake of the roleplay they will all be connected and/or regulars to the coffeeshop "A Cup of Cake" that serves tea, coffee and cupcakes! Please note the bolded out roles will be love interests, whether or not they work out is up to you and of course they can change with the roleplay devoloping.
  
  The Humans
  The Writer: They spend most of their days at the café drinking tea and trying to write their story. However they have been hitting a bit of a writers block, but luckily the Free Spirit is able to help them getting make on track! At the same time they are trying to give the Free Spirit some life lessons and help them with their troubles.
  
  The Free Spirit: They are at the start of their twenties and filled with life, dreams and energy. They are in college or just graduated and are searching their path in life. They silenently admire The Writer and help them continue their story or simply love conversating with them about their troubles and struggles.
  
  The Baker: They are the ones responsible for the best cakes in town! No kidding! Their decorating skills with frosting are to die for. They are open hearted and very diligent at their job. And secretly steals glances of the Waiter. They would love to be a bit more brave and social like them. If only the Waiter would notice them, but that was never gonna happen. [Taken]
  
  The Waiter: Social, funny and confident. They bring a smile on everyones face and that has nothing to do with the cakes or cups on their tray. They easily connect with people, and yet seem to have no idea how to get closer to the Student.
  
  The Regular: They come in every afternoon for at least an hour. Most of the time busy typing on the laptop, those work reports or school assignments don't write themselves after all. They seem to have no eye for what goes on around them. Though the Baker is most defintely the reason they keep on coming every day. [Taken]
  
  The Student: They come in every day with their best friend. Both of them enjoying the peace the coffeeshop gives them and the moment to catch up. They always plan on going for just a hour or two, but end up staying way longer. They would certainly not mind seeing their Best Friend as more than just a best friend.
  
  The Best Friend: Somehow it had become their little saturday tradition to make homework and assigments together at the coffeeshop. Though they try to keep things serious, most of the time only a little bit of those assignments are done. Perhaps they should ask the Nerd for a saturday 'date' of making homework?
  
  The Nerd: They despise the Student with a passion. Too loud. Too obnoxious. And most of all too close to the Best Friend. The Nerd wouldn't mind helping The Best Friend for real with their homework instead of wasting their time with stupid stories and nonsense.
  
  The Eight
  One: Fire
  Two: Water
  Three: Air
  Four: Earth
  Five: Light
  Six: Darkness
  Seven: Psyche
  Eigth: Body
