Keyblade Wielder
Username: foodonfloor
Name: Aiden Parker
Age: 19
Personality: Aiden is a bit of a joker, his quick wit and cleverness easily one of his prominent characteristics. He tends not to let small things bother him, but he has little tolerance for immaturity and unfairness. While often joking, he takes his relationships with others, both friends and strangers, very seriously. While not necessarily stubborn, Aiden will always fight for what he believes in, although this may cause him to sometimes go overboard or risk the safety of those close to him. He is a bit laid back, and while he's not afraid to take charge, he doesn't like his voice to overrule the opinions of others.
Battle Technique: Aiden is an all-around, well balanced fighter. Once both a boxer and a basketball player, he’s strong and athletic, and can take quite a hit. He’s able to adapt fairly easily on the battlefield, and while his reaction time is certainly something to brag about, no part about his abilities in combat currently stand out. Known spells include Fire.
Hometown: San Francisco, California, United States of America
Bio: Aiden never knew his parents. His mom passed away when he was only a small child and his dad was a drunk who was never home. He was thus raised by his grandparents, who loved and supported him up until they were killed in a car crash six years ago. Aiden was then taken in by the family of his best friends, fraternal twins Kayla and Zoe Hunt. After his grandparents’ death, he struggled with his temper and got into underground fighting, but after seeing the distress that this activity caused for the twins, he switched over to boxing instead, also having played basketball for a while in high school. He fit in with practically any crowd, but he wasn’t stupid. He knew that people let him in their friend circles only because they felt sorry for him, so he tended to prefer to spend his time with the twins. Now heading into college, he and the girls are moving into their own apartment across San Francisco, ready to begin a new chapter of their lives.

Note: His hair is indeed light brown, although the lighting may cause it to look slightly blond.

Keyblade Wielder
Username: foodonfloor
Name: Kayla Hunt
Age: 19
Personality: Kayla is the more outgoing of the two sisters. She’s often goofy and isn’t afraid to share what’s on her mind. She’s extremely modest and doesn’t like to take a lot of credit. Much like her best friend Aiden, she likes to joke around, although she isn’t as witty as he is. She’s headstrong and independent, but isn’t afraid to ask for help if she needs it.
Battle Technique: At one time a track star, Kayla is extremely quick in battle. Her movements are sharp and precise, and have a bit of force on the end. She also fights with a bit more finesse than most. Spells she can use include Thunder.
Hometown: San Francisco, California, United States of America
Bio: Kayla has had a normal life. In fact, she almost finds it boring. She was the drum major for her high school band and displays excellent leadership qualities, and was the star of her track team. She once took up fencing as well, but it was more of a short-lived hobby than anything else, due to her already fairly busy schedule. In the search for something more exciting, she would sometimes sneak out of the house, occasionally taking Aiden with her, to try her hand at parkour. She’s always been mindful of her sister’s feelings, as she is a bit more sensitive, but they always got along rather well. . Now heading into college, she, her sister, and Aiden are moving into their own apartment across San Francisco, ready to begin a new chapter of their lives.

Keyblade Appearance:



Mage
Username: foodonfloor
Name: Zoe Hunt
Age: 19
Personality: Zoe is quiet and reserved, generally preferring to keep to herself. She’s kindhearted and innocent, and would never hurt a fly. Zoe loves animals, but she loves her friends and family more. She doesn’t like to ask for help, for she doesn’t like to seem week, although this likely results from living in her sister’s shadow her whole life.
Weapon: Zoe sometimes uses a bow in combat.


Battle Technique:  Zoe prefers to stay back from the heat of battle, using magic that can hit from a distance. She likes to use magic that can help her friends or slow her enemies, allowing her to pick them off with a bow from afar. She can use the spells Blizzard and Water.
Hometown: San Francisco, California, United States of America
Bio: Zoe has always lived in her sister’s shadow. While she made good grades and learned to shoot exceptionally well with a bow and arrow, she was no valedictorian and her high school did not have a shooting team of any sorts. She played in the band, but was never drum major. She rarely spoke to anyone outside of her close friends. She’s hoping that by moving across the city and going to college, she will be able to step out of her sister’s shadow and create more of a name for herself.

WORLDS

Station of Awakening- A mysterious location that is seen by very few people, made up of four large, floating columns, or floors, decorated with incredible pictures. It is unknown what exactly this world holds. Each of the floors are depicted below in the order that they appear in.




UPGRADING SPELLS
Scrolls, which contain the data for new spells, can be bought from shops. They can be bought at any level, as a spell may not be available after the shop restocks. By reading the scroll, you will learn the magic contained within it. This same process goes for upgrading spells, although you CANNOT learn a level 2 or 3 spell unless you have learned the previous level. There are three levels to each spell. The first level of a spell is consistent, but the second and third level of a spell branch off into offensive and defensive forms. You can only choose one form to learn, and you cannot upgrade a level 2 defensive fire spell to a level 3 offensive fire spell, you must stick with the type you chose to initially learn.


SPELLS

Spells can be submitted to me by way of PM. Before accepted, the spell must be tested in a debug, and I must be present, whether as a participant or spectator. I am the sole judge of whether or not the spell is accepted, and if so, it will be made available for all RP'ers to use.

Level 1:

-Fire: Shoots a sizzling ball of fire at the opponent. Low cost.

-Blizzard: Shoots a freezing ball of ice at opponent. Lost cost.

-Thunder: Shoots a bolt of lightning. Low cost.

-Earth: Requires great physical strength. User slams weapon into the ground, dealing damage to enemies and riddling the ground with small cracks and craters that enemies may trip or get stuck on. For keyblade wielders only. Moderate cost.

-Aero: 2 different uses. 1. Shoots a sharp blast of air at foe. 2. Provides cushion of air to weaken damage dealt to user. Low Cost.

-Water: 2 different functions depending on user. For keyblade wielders, summons a long water whip that is made from moisture in the environment. If it is raining, or in a wet environment, the whip sustains itself and grows slightly in power. If it is raining heavily or if in an extremely wet environment, it can be summoned with a much smaller amount of MP than normal, but it does take slightly longer to appear. If not in a wet environment, the whip slowly drains moisture from the user's body, and after a while may dehydrate the user. For mages, this spell sends a powerful jet of water at enemies, dealing damage and soaking enemies, making it harder for them to move. Moderate cost for mages.

-Dash: Produces quick jets of air for increased agility and maneuverability. Moderate cost. (Submitted by Gameboy Advanced)


SUMMONS AND DRIVE FORMS
It is possible to achieve a character from a Disney property that you can summon to fight alongside you in either of the RP's two universe's. The same goes for drive forms, a mysteries overdrive that taps into a keyblade wielder''s ultimate potential. Summons are only available to mages, and drive forms are exclusive to keyblade wielders. More info will come about these as the RP progresses.



SPECIAL SPELLS AND ABILITIES

These spells and keyblade skills can only be unlocked through special means, and is generally given as some sort of reward by the GM or special NPC characters. The special spells are not leveled spells, and so do not have upgradable forms.

Special Spells:

Holy: A beam of white light bursts from the ground, causing damage to everything in range. Completely drains all MP. The more MP available, the wider the beam and its radius.

Meteor: Call blazing meteors from the sky to deal massive damage to everything it hits. Completely drains all MP, and if MP is not full, it slightly drains some HP. The amount of meteors that fall are equivalent to one fourth of the user's level, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Evolve: Greatly heightens all of the five senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. The longer it is active, the more MP it drains. If MP is completely drained, it deactivates, leaving the user stunned (in a state of being unaware of your surroundings) for five seconds. If manually deactivated before losing all MP, the stunning effect will not take place.

Special Abilities:

Strike Raid: Throw your keyblade at enemies and have it return to you. After learning this skill, it can be infused with magic at any time by re-learning a spell (with the use of a scroll) that you already know. You can relearn as many spells as you want in this manner and can fuse the skill with any spells that you have relearned, but can only infuse it with one spell at a time.

Sacrifice: Expend HP to perform a single, powerful attack with the keyblade.



SHOPS

Shops are run by Moogles and are open during all RP times except during the night. Once the time changes back to day, the shops restock with new items. Moogle shops are not present on Earth.


EXP AND LEVELING UP

You start the RP as level zero. Each heartless you kill nets you a certain amount of experience points, based on the enemy you kill. It requires 100 EXP to get to level one. When you reach the next level, your EXP zeros out and is converted into munny, so, for example, if you just leveled up to level 1 and had 100 EXP, you now have 0 EXP and 100 munny. The EXP required to get to the next level increases by 100, so you now have 0/200 EXP. It is recommended, although not required, that you keep track of levels and experience in your sig here on the forum. The GM's will periodically check to ensure that there is no cheating.


TRAVELERS

Travelers are people who, by going to sleep in their world, can appear in another world in a totally different universe. They are not known to exist by the majority of the human population, and more will be revealed about them as the RP progresses.

PLOT:

Several years into the future, Earth is enjoying a time of peace. Many countries are living together in harmony, and there is little conflict, something thought to be almost unimaginable. It does not last long though, for when creatures made of darkness invade the Earth, tensions rise around the planet. Matters aren’t improved by the sudden ability of a select few people to be able to wield giant key-like objects and use what appears to be magic.

When these people go to sleep, their mind is transported to another universe, one with many worlds that seemed to be based off of Disney movies, of all things. These people, also in a period of peace, speak of a time when the beings of darkness, known as the Heartless, warred with them, and that the key to stopping the invasion on Earth lies in something mysterious known as Kingdom Hearts.

You must travel back and forth between universes in an attempt to uncover the secret behind the heartless. It will be up to you to use your new abilities to either save, destroy, or rule planet Earth.

*This is not connected to any previous Kingdom Hearts RP
*While the Walt Disney Company exists on this Earth, the Kingdom Hearts video games do not
*At the start of the RP, the heartless have not yet invaded Earth, and so you do not travel to any other worlds when sleeping, and you have not yet discovered your ability to use magic or wield a keyblade. Earth is still rather normal.


SUMMARY:

An ongoing summary of the RP's events will be placed here.


RULES:

1. All posts must be at least 3 sentences long and have good grammar. Typos are ok.

2. Posts must have something to do with the actual RP.

3. You may not control another character without their express permission for ANY reason.

4. No god modding. You are NOT all powerful.

5. While flaming in character is allowed, there are certain restrictions. Flaming cannot be discriminatory towards any real-world race, religion, philosophy, gender, or sexual preference, and that they are characters attacking each other, not members insulting other members. Put another way: all flaming must be done in character

6. Profanity is allowed, although PU does have profanity filters. For the purposes of the RP, feel free to work around them, but do not use profane language in unnecessary excess.

7. Rules may be added to or modified by the GM at any time.


TEXEdit Approved

I thought the Inheritance Cycle was pretty good as well. I've read books since that I think are better, but the Inheritance Cycle was a lot better than some of the newer stuff out there. I'm not really a big fan of most of the newer books out there.
 I read the first Redwall book when I was in like 4th grade, but I never did finish the series. I don't know why, I always meant to. I'll have to see if I can find them. Lord of the Rings is also good, but I don't remember much besides the basic plot. Last time I read those books I was in like 5th or 6th grade.

One of my newer favorites is the Ender's Game series. I'm only two books in, but they're really good. The Pathfinder series is another of Orson Scott Card's series, and those were also really good. I love the setting, and the plot is great as well. I just liked the way the books were written in general; I highly recommend them.

While I've read stuff that may have been technically better than the Inheritance Cycle, I haven't enjoyed any other book or series quite as much, and it'll always hold a special place for me. It influenced a lot of my writing style, and kept me going early on. Lord of the Rings is exceptional, but it's been a while since I've read them as well. I've never actually read any of the Ender's Game books. On the more mainstream, popular side, I thought the Hunger Games were pretty good, but not spectacular, and while I think that they are a bit overhyped, I did fine them pretty good. I really enjoyed the Harry Potter books, but for reasons I'm not quite sure of, they've lost a lot of their appeal to me over the years. I refuse to read the Divergent books, because my friend showed me some stuff in there, and I'm not at all impressed with the quality of the writing, it seems to amateur. I'm not trying to say I'm some magnificent writer myself or anything, because I know I still have a lot to learn, but I think that if I really tried and if I'm at my best, I feel that I can achieve a higher quality of writing than is present those books. I quite liked the Percy Jackson books when I read them, but I can't get into the whole sequel series, and while I'm not saying they're bad or anything like that, it just feels dragged out to me. I've read plenty of other great books as well, though, but those are just some of my opinions on the ones you guys mentioned and some of the seemingly more popular and recent titles.

I'd prefer a type that isn't taken by any active players at the moment, so that I have time to work with it and develop it on my own without any pressure from someone wanting to battle for elite. Of course in the future, I'd love to battle someone for the elite title, but I want the freedom to develop my skillset first, because I'm derpy as of now. And I like flying. I may try that, but I'm still open to suggestions.

Ok, so I have to sort of apologize, because I randomly disappeared for what seems like at least a month or so. I'll be able to get on much more frequently again starting soon. I just tried to log on to PO and battle, and it was more or less a disaster, most likely largely in part due to my absence. So, I've decided to completely redo my team and start from scratch. Any suggestions on what types I should try and maybe make my new mono-type?

I'm doing the same as Roloc. If I see a a post that helps another member of the community, a give them a karma point. At the same time, I'll take one away if I see someone trolling, insulting another member, or anything else of the sort. I'm pretty sure that's how it is meant to be used, though, so nothing special.
