Who wants to ̶p̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶O̶C̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶h̶e̶l̶l̶ go on ✨fun adventures✨ between our story worlds? (new Tapas RP thread)

[Aeroyeen]

Yeah… yeah, you read it right. I’m comin’ at you again with another Forum RP Thread TM. My last one went insanely well, but died off earlier this year, as all things eventually do. So I took a break, developed some new stories alongside my existing ones, found myself in the mood to RP again, and. Well, here we are.

I’m pretty sure y’all know the rules for these things by now, but in case you don’t, here they are:

Rules
1. No controlling other players’ characters without their permission. Think of it as having your character complete an action, and then passing the baton off to the group to have their characters react to said action.
2. No killing other players’ characters without their permission. I feel like this should go without saying, and it also kinda ties into the first rule, but I figured I’d write it in anyway. Unless you have explicit written permission from another RP’er to have your character kill theirs, let’s try and keep murder off the table, m’kay?
3. If you’re responding to multiple players, please don’t spam the thread with multiple responses all at once. Instead, tag everyone you’re responding to in one post, and then separate each person’s response accordingly.
4. Literally just be a decent RP’er and person. It’s not that hard, y’all. Occasionally having your character make jokes at another character’s expense is alright if the receiving party is cool with it, and so is having a character who’s canonically a bit of a jerk. And hell, we all make mistakes. If you make a few honest mistakes, are corrected on them, and work to make sure they don’t happen again, good on you. But repeated nasty/creepy/unforgivable behavior from you and/or your characters will result in a strike. I’m assuming you know how strikes in baseball work, and the same applies here; if you receive three strikes, you’ll be removed from the RP.

Alright, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into characters. If you’d like to join, drop a bio for each of your characters down below, and I’ll add ‘em here for players to reference!

@DelythThomasArt

Zenith

Age - late twentys?
Gender - Male
Height - 6ft
Powers - wind mage, assassin, acrobat / dancer. Seems to have an endless source of pointy objects

Bio - Playful and cheery, Zenith is an entertainer by day and assassin by night. Well travelled and resourceful he knows of many forms of medicine, magic and weaponry. He travels making a living via street performance and taking on demon hunting / assassination jobs. Never seen without his odd bird like mask and straw wig.

Morux

Age - mid 30s ?
Gender - Male
Height - 7'6 ft
Race - Armoured Dragon shifter
Powers - Extreme defensive prowess, projectile bones / bone blades, able to shift to a 30ft tall flightless dragon. No breath weapon.
Bio - Morux is a quiet and passive man, preferring peace and quiet to adventure and excitement. He's skilled in carving animals and creatures out of wood and pieces of bone. Making toys to sell at the local market. He rather not get involved in fights, but his bulk and height tends to end most rabble rousers with a look. He sadly has no memory of his family or childhood so his origins are a mystery to himself.

@Pi-Eta

Name: Owl (legally Faruq Darwish)

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 43

Height: 5'8

Occupation: Head archivist and researcher for the mystical Order of Al-kutbay

Personality: collected, slightly neuroric, quietly curious and good-natured; inability to properly relate to many people due to personal circumstances and connections to metaphysical chaos theory

Extra: Like all other cognitomancers before him, including former holders of his position, Owl gave up his true name a long time ago in exchange for slight insight into the metaphysical connections that surround the rhizomatic nature of reality. As second-in-command to Rooster, leader of the Order, he is in charge of sealing each cohnitomancer's true names and is a highly capable thaumathurge in many areas which unfortunately have remarkably little to do with combat; despite this, he has recently gotten himself injured, perhaps in more ways than one would expect. Owl specialises in a practical application of chaos theory, being able to use his magic in conjunction with his deep understanding of metaphysical connections to accurately predict outcomes in the short term, given enough information.

Personality: Smart, laidback, carefree, friendly, eager, caring, irresponsible, lazy, impatient, naïve
Extras: Likes collecting toys and bobbleheads, video gamer, films with his camera, makes models, good with math

@nathanKmcwilliams

Rip Scale-Rend
Species: Dragon man
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Height: 4'3
Occupation: Cadet Ranger
Notes:
Rip comes from a highly futuristic universe. He has an ability called a Spark, when activated it gives him extraordinary powers, though it comes with a drawback.
Rip is quick to act when he thinks someone is in danger, and has strong senses of justice and loyalty.

@azurecpensmith

Ada

Species: Puppet
Gender: Female
Age: Late twenties
Height: 170cm
Occupation: None now
Personality: Ada is a jaded human in her late twenties, or at least she used to be until one day she decided jaywalking was a good idea. Now, she's reincarnated, as a human-sized puppet of all things, and she's freaking out.

I’ll make the first post below, and then anyone who wants to join can jump in with their characters. So without further ado… let the RP begin.

[Aeroyeen]

Rockpoint, DE, 2059

The morning sun seemed to rise out of the sea, giving the water and the sky the appearance that they were on fire.

Joni paused for a moment to take in the view. They had seen more than enough fire in their days, even though they were only twenty-four. They thought they’d never want to see fire again, not after the end of the Reckoning.

This fire, though, they were okay with.

Reaching down to pick up a plastic bottle that was half buried in the sand, they looked around the beach, unable to find any other pieces of trash that had washed up.

They supposed that was good. There had been less trash to pick up in the hour they spent at the beach today than in previous days. And less trash was always a good thing, even if it meant they got to spend less time by the sea. They dropped the bottle into the trash bag at their side.

Feeling a tap on their shoulder, Joni turned around to find Yael smiling down at them. ”There wasn’t as much stuff to pick up today,” she signed. ”Wonder why?”

”I agree,” Joni signed back. ”I’m certainly not complaining, though. Are you ready to head back?”

Yael shook her head. ”I…” she started. _”I actually think I’d like to stay a little longer. I don’t get to come down here that often. Especially not with you.”

Joni blinked a little in surprise. Yael? Wanting to spend time with them? Surely she could find a better use for her time.

But Joni didn’t say anything regarding their concern. They just smiled and signed, ”Fine with me.”

(( Anyone who wants to jump in can do so now! Your characters can fall in through a rip in reality, tumble out of the sky, realize they’ve gotten lost in a different world on their daily walk, I really don’t care. Let’s have some fun!

(( Also yes, Rockpoint is a fictional coastal town in Delaware that I made up

[alliascompany]

A bright light erupted into the sky, just above the sky. From it, fell two figures. The taller one was a man with blonde hair and blue eyes, with odd bits of items stuck to his gloves. The shorter one had messy hair with dark streaks running through it and big, blue violet eyes. He flailed about, holding onto his duffle bag for dear life.
Both fell into the water with a loud splash.

"Help! Help! I can't swim!" Shouted Waffle, trying to keep himself and the duffel bag a float.

[Aeroyeen]

Joni and Yael's heads snapped to look in the direction of the light in the sky, watching the two men fall into the sea.

"What in the-" Joni started to sign, but stopped when they saw Yael start to run towards the water.

Wading, and eventually swimming in, she grabbed ahold of Waffle first, and then Williams, and began making her way back to the shore.

[alliascompany]

Waffle struggled when grabbed and was about to throw a punch until he got a clear view of Yael.

"I can swim," coughed Williams. He adjusyed the shield on his arm and made his way towards the shore.

Once on dry land, Waffle kissed the sand.
"I'm alive! Thank you for saving me! I'm forever in your debt," he told Yael.

Williams sat by the shore, shivering and glaring at Waffle.

[Aeroyeen]

Yael wrung out the skirt of her dress, peering at Waffle with some mixture of curiosity and terror, as she couldn't hear him thanking her. "...where did you come from?" she signed frantically. "Are you hostile? Or... maybe I'm dreaming?"

Joni considered getting the hell out of dodge, but they didn't want to leave Yael behind with whoever these strangers were. So instead they opted to stay close to her, watching them both like a hawk.

[alliascompany]

Waffle soon became confused himself, not getting what she was trying to say.

"Oh. You can't understand me. You can't..." he said. Waffle paused and looked around at the surrounding area before gazing up at the sky, with some disappointment.
With his foot, he drew a moon and a question mark in the sand.

Williams could tell that the woman was signing, but he was too upset to mention it to Waffle. Instead started pressing buttons on his wristwatch.

[Aeroyeen]

Yael looked at Waffle's drawing, furrowing her brow in confusion. Eventually she knelt down, starting to write in the sand as well. "My name is Yael," she wrote. "I'm Deaf. What's your name? Are you asking me something about the moon?"

[alliascompany]

(Probably last one for tonight)

Waffle read what she had wrote.
"Oh! Oh I'm sorry, I should have... and I'm still talking l, like an idiot, " he said. He then scribbled his reply into the sand.

"Nice to meet you. Thank you for saving me. I'm Waffle. Are we on the moon? If not, where are we?" He wrote.

[Aeroyeen]

(( G'night!

"We're on Earth," Yael wrote, shaking her her head and looking even more confused than before. "Rockpoint, Delaware, to be specific."

Her eyes widened in shock after a moment, and she quickly wrote, "Are you from the moon??"

[aqua03]

[alliascompany]

Waffle nodded proudly. He looked at the first part of what she wrote and frowned.
"Hey Captain! Ever heard of Earth?" He shouted at Williams.
"No..." said Williams, feeling concerned.
"What about Rockpoint, Delaware?"
"N-no!"

Williams scrambled over to them, reading what had been written in the sand. He quickly wrote down something himself.
"What galaxy are we in?"

[aqua03]

An elemental vortex also began to open up in the sky as well as for more figures dropped from the sky as well. A black scaled dragon like figure in red armor, a green furred eastern dragon, a long Snooted fox-tiger hybrid in ninja garb, and a fluffy blue cat dragon fell through in that order.

(Apologies for shorter posts this week. Using my phone.)

[Aeroyeen]

Yael cocked her head upon reading Williams’ question, again looking hesitantly at him and Waffle. “We’re in the Milky Way Galaxy,” she wrote. “Are you saying you’re from a different galaxy?”

@aqua03

Joni looked up at the elemental vortex in the sky, watching the four figures fall through. They backed up a few steps without realizing. Just what was going on?

[alliascompany]

Williams froze, only shaking his head.
"Never even heard of that one. Have you Captain?" Asked Waffle.
"I AM LITERALLY GOING TO MURDER YOU!" yelled Williams.

Waffle turned and ran as Williams chased him in pure rage.

[aqua03]

The eastern dragon summoned a small whirlwind to slow his fall as he landed gracefully while the fox tiger quickly adjusted her position to fall feet first into the water as the cat landed with a large splash . The red dragon however, crashlanded hard onto the beach with a large thud.

“Hello there! You wouldn’t know where we all are, do you?” The eastern dragon landed gracefully on the beach and tipped hid blue beret to them politely

[Aeroyeen]

Yael chewed on her lip nervously as she watched Williams chase after Waffle, not knowing if it would be a good idea to stop him or not.

@aqua03

After they recovered from their brief moment of terror at the sight of four dragons falling out of the sky, Joni squinted at Zephyr as he spoke before signing, “I can’t hear you well. Do you know ASL?”

[aqua03]

“Oh, ummmm…” zephyr said before summoning some small fluffy clouds to write in the air “no, I do not think so… where are we by the way?” He wrote.

[alliascompany]

Williams tackled Waffle and nearly strangled him.
"C-Captain! Captain! There's a witness! You don't want to create an intergalactic incident do you?" Waffle pleaded.
Williams looked back at Yael. He stood up and walked a good distance before yelling in frustration. Waffle took this as an opportunity to crawl back to Yael for safety.
