All out of character discussions, along with questions about the RP, are to be held here. Don't be afraid to ask a question, as someone else may be wondering the same thing! For the sake of space, all other details about the RP, other than plot, will be posted on the first post here. More info is coming soon.

GM: Fenror
Sub GM: N/A

You, along with several others wake up in a strange room, and soon find out that it is the bottom floor of some sort of tower. No one has seemingly ever heard of this tower before, nor is there any indication as to where this building is located. Even stranger, not only is everyone clueless on how they arrived at the tower, but nobody can seem to accurately remember anything about the previous day, or in some people's cases, multiple days earlier. With seemingly no way to exit the building, your only apparent option is to ascend the tower in hope that you will regain your memory and learn as to why you are there. Things aren't quite that simple though, as to access the next floors of the tower, you must complete a challenge presented to you on the current floor. Whether you work alone on these challenges or together with others is up to you, but failure could mean certain death.

*For the sake of space, all other details will be posted in the OOCC.

RULES

1. All posts must be at least 5-8 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, but there are restrictions to keep it artful. FIRST OFF, the member that posts the thread must get permission from a moderator and include reasoning for the profanity to be allowed. Second, the member that posts the thread must indicate that there is to be profanity in the thread in the subject line. Third, the member that posts the thread must state that they wish for profanity to be allowed in that thread and any restrictions that they wish to impose must be followed. Fourth, the F-word is not to be used under ANY circumstances. Finally, any profanity with a sexual meaning must be used in a general context, never in a sexual one (e. g., a character can call another character a dickhead, but cannot use the profanity to tauntingly tell an opponent to "suck dick").

7. No cheating or bypassing any of the challenges presented on each floor of the tower.

8. You cannot ignore other characters that are attempting to interact with you, unless it is for story's sake. If that is the case please state so, whether in here or, preferably, in the OOCC.

*Rules may be modified or added at any time, with or without a notice or warning.

JerryEDIT: Approved

All out of character discussion will take place here. Please refrain from talking about topics not relating to the RP. We also have an official Skype channel for out of character chat and debugging.

WORLDS

Destiny Islands- A peaceful world that used to be the home of Sora, Riku, and Kairi, which is now practtically run by former keyblade master Leon Haruko and his wife Celine. This is one of the fewer populated worlds with a Blitzball team, the Island Stars, that has made it to the league playoffs for the first time in the league's history. The team is coached by Tidus, a former athlete and resident of Destiny Islands. http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Destiny_Islands

The Land of Dragons- Despite the modernization of many worlds, The Land of Dragons has, for the most part, stayed true to its imperialistic lifestyle. While this world is still ruled by a kind emperor, they are truly governed by the leaders of the United World System. This world's Bltzball team, the Dragon Emperors, lost in the Finals the previous year, and this year has dropped towards the bottom ranks of the playoff teams. The team is coached by former Cavalry Commander Sone. http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/The_Land_of_Dragons

UPGRADING SPELLS AND ABILITIES
Scrolls, which contain the data for new spells, can be bought from shops. The scroll can then be read, which will allow you learn the new spell in you own, special way. This same process goes for upgrading spells, although you CANNOT purchase a level 2 or 3 spell unless you have learned the previous level. As keybladers level up, they will be able to learn new keyblading abilities, basically meaning that the keyblade gets stronger as you level up. The chart for abilities is below, and more will be added over time.

*Abilities will be revealed as the RP progresses.

SPELLS

Due to the fact that the ability to use magic has been lost, the moogles have stopped selling magic scrolls at their shops. With news of the re-appearance of Kingdom Hearts and the possibility that there would be new keybladers, the few people who could still secretly wield magic have decided to offer their talents as a magic tutor to anyone who can use a keyblade, for a fee, of course. Once found, these magic tutors can help you learn new spells or upgrade the ones you have, but different tutors have different spells and different prices, and these tutors are not always easy to find.

*Spells will be revealed as the RP progresses. You may create your own spell at any time, even before the start of the roleplay. If you would like to submit your own spell, send all 3 levels of the spell to me in a PM.

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 half 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 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 greatly enhance your physical and magical power for a short period of time.

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.

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.

The purpose of our guild is to gather specialists of all kind and of every nature to form the most powerful and dominate guild around. This guild is highly competitive by nature, and the high ranking members can challenge for one of the elite thirteen spots, known as The Order, who are among the highest ranking members of the guild and get special privileges. This guild is not only for battlers, though. If you are a fighter, an adventurer, a breeder, a writer, or anything else, you can feel free to join. If you have a goal, you have a reason to join. Not only will we help you achieve that goal, but we will help you surpass it. In turn, you will help us become a force to be reckoned with.

We may seek to be the best, but we do not look to be the best at being the worst. This guild does not tolerate trolling, bullying, or flaming of any kind. Failure to abide by this will result in permanent ban from the guild, and you may be put on ignore.
   
This guild is both competitive and not. Feel free to play the way you wish. You will not be restricted just because you aren’t a good battler. There’s something for everyone, and we are here to help you to become the best at what you do. This being said, there are of course spots for battlers, and this guild does thrive on competitions of all sorts.

All out of character chat for The Outcasts RP will take place here.

*Many more details will be revealed as the beginning of the RP draws closer. Just the basics are posted for now. There will be a 1-2 week period in which profiles are accepted and tests are conducted. The RP was put out so early to give people time to work on their profiles before starting. We have many more details than are shown here. Just be patient, and they will be revealed.

The Factions of the Land

Several different nations and factions reside within Africa. The currently known ones are:

-Sanctum: A luxurious utopia run by the religious 13 Overrulers of the Great Council. Sanctum was at one time running low on natural resources, but thanks to its acquisition of the UCE, it is now more prosperous than ever.

-UCE: Originally stood for the United Citizens of Earth, the UCE was full of those who opposed Sanctum, yet had no war with the utopia. Because of their abundance of resources, they were taken over by Sanctum, who still treats the UCE as if it has nothing to do with the now poor country. Sanctum's government forces the residents of the UCE, who are not allowed to leave their nation, to work hard shifts and long hours to produce resources for its dictating utopia for little pay.

-Renegade: A rebellious organization that stemmed from those who were able to escape Sanctum's attack on the UCE. They oppose Sanctum and all of its magic users, and are preparing a plan to take down the Great Council and liberate the UCE.


The Land

The RP takes place in a future, semi-developed post-apocalyptic Africa. This continent is a unique one, containing dry deserts, barren nuclear wastelands, the poor slums of the UCE, the luxurious utopia of Sanctum; this is a diverse region, with many different inhabitants to match the geography of the land. Due to the nuclear radiation, many of the region's animals have become mutated and dengerous predators.

Magic

A select few people, when given modified, mutated genes, can use special powers known as magic. These people are known as casters. This magic varies from user to user, and, much like DNA, is not the same in any two people. Magic encompasses a whole variety of types, but cannot directly boost the physical qualities of the user, heal injuries, or control other living beings. As magic is used, the caster becomes a bit weaker, as the effectiveness of the magic greatly lessens as well. For most magic users, the only way to regenerate this depleted mana is to rest. For more experienced casters, an almost infinite number of ways can be used to regenerate mana. A risky, super-powered magic attack, called a Mana Surge, can be released by a caster, but it usually comes with great drawbacks.

Time Changes
This is a list of all the different time changes that a standard 24 hour day (RP time, not real world time) is broken up into, along with the approximate time that the time change takes place in.  It will make referencing things like mana regeneration time much easier. Note that in some "time lapse" cases in the RP, a time change or two might be skipped, for example, going straight from morning to night, without us playing through the afternoon. The afternoon has still occurred, we just would not have played through it.

1. Twilight (2:00 A.M.-5:00 A.M.)
2. Dawn (5:00 A.M.-6:30 A.M.)
3. Early Morning (6:30 A.M.-10:00 A.M.)
4. Late Morning (10:00 A.M.- 12:00 P.M.)
5. Afternoon (12:00 P.M.-5:00 P.M.)
6. Evening (5:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M.)
7. Dusk (7:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M.)
8. Night (9:00-12:00 A.M.)
9. Midnight (12:00 A.M.-2:00 A.M.)

Experience, Upgrading, and Leveling Up

Upon defeating most enemies, you will gain a level, as well as an Upgrade Point (UP). UP can then be spent on an upgrade tree to gain many different benefits to your character and magic. Every so many levels, a new section of the chain is unlocked for you to purchase upgrades from. Once the first character reaches the required level, it will be unlocked for everyone to see. You must have purchased at least two upgrades from the previous section, as well as meet the required level, to purchase upgrades from the next level.

UNLOCKED AT START

(5UP): Mana Cost -5% (You've learned to be more efficient with your mana, and can cast more magic before running out.) Leon, Celine
(5UP):  Mana Cost -5%
(10UP): Weapon Upgrade (Allows magic user to infuse their weapon with their magical power to increase melee damage for a short period of time)

The RP Calendar
Many deadlines and events, such as official RP debugs will take place as the RP goes on. All important dates and times will be posted here.
*ALL TIMES ARE BASED ON THE US CENTRAL TIME ZONE!

-Saturday, May 25: RSVP For Pre-RP Debug Deadline
-Monday, May 27; 12:00 Noon: Profiles Turn-In Deadline
-Tuesday, May 28; Time TBA: Pre-RP Debug
-Wednesday, May 29: Start of RP

Basically, I give the name of a movie, and then the person who posts after me has to name a movie that begins with the letter that the title of my movie ended with. The word "The" does not count as a title starting with T, the next word in the title is first, so act as if the word "the" is not even in the title. You cannot put a movie that has been said within the last three pages.

So here it goes:

Batman Begins

So the person who posts next has to post a movie starting with the letter S.

Wellm for those Playstation fans (Including myself), Sony's holding a meeting of some sort in New York on Feb. 20, "Concerning the future of Playstation." It is believed by many, once again including myself, to be about the next console from Sony, which will assumingly be called the Playstation 4.

Here's a rumor discussion on it: http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/02/05/playstation-conversation-the-ps4-rumormill

And here's a leaked controller prototype: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/15/is-this-playstation-4s-controller

What are your thoughts? Is the meeting about the PS4? Will it be called the PS4? Do you have any rumors/ideas/information?

All out of character discussion will take place here. Please refrain from talking about topics not relating to the RP.

WORLDS

-Twilight Town: Heartless found here include Soldiers and Rabid Dogs. http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_Town

-Beauty's Castle: This world was formerly know as Beast's Castle (http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Beast%27s_Castle). The spell on this world was lifted once Xehanort was defeated, turning it into the magnificent and wonderous castle that it once had been. The spell was also lifted from its residents not long before Xehanort's defeat, but it is unknown as to whether or not the events are related. This world currently serves as on of the Cavalry's main headquarters.

-The World That Never Was: This world seems to commonly host those who embrace the darkness, as it is the main HQ for the Nocturnes. http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/The_World_That_Never_Was

-Agrabah: A world once controlled by the Nocturnes, it has over time become a weapon of the Cavalry. Nocturne forces attempted to make a comeback, even summoning Jafar, but their plan backfired and they were driven out. New Cavalry soldiers have been sent in to repair the damage done by the evil genie, rid the world of heartless, and most imporatantly, locate the missing Commander Aladdin. Heartless found here include Soldiers, Red Nocturnes, Bouncywilds, Bandits, and Fat Bandits. http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Agrabah

-Port Royal- A world once dictated by pirates, it was recently a major warfront between the Cavalry and Nocturnes. The Nocturnes stripped the world from the Cavalry, right before it was taken from their hands and swallowed by darkness. http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Port_Royal

-Olympus Coliseum- A world that shuttered itself from the rest of the worlds after Xehanort's defeat. The Underworld was closed off from the rest of the world, banishing Hades and his minions from Mount Olympus. Types of heartless found here are currently unknown, as no one has been granted access to Olympus for years.

UPGRADING SPELLS AND ABILITIES
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. The scroll can brought to a Magic Tutor, who, if you meet the specified level of the spell, will help you learn the new spell. This same process goes for upgrading spells, although you CANNOT purchase a level 2 or 3 spell unless you have learned the previous level. As keybladers level up, they will be able to learn new keyblading abilities, basically meaning that the keyblade gets stronger as you level up. The chart for abilities is below, and more will be added over time.

SPELLS

Level 1:

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

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

-Thunder: Shoots a bolt of lightning.

-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.

-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 send a powerful jet of water at enemies, dealing damage and soaking enemies, making it harder for them to move.

Level 2 Spells:

-Fira: Can be used in two different ways. Can shoot two fireballs, which spin around each other at enemies, or can summon a wave of fire around the user for a couple seconds, dealing damage to all in close proximity to user.

-Blizzara: Shoots a ball of ice, which is larger than that of its level 1 counterpart, and also has a slight chance of freezing opponent.

-Thundara: Shoots several bolts of lightning.

-Aerora: Stronger form of Aero that can have the power to push enemies back.

-Eartha: Summons forth a group of earthen pillars from the ground, dealing damage to those nearby and launching those it hits into the air. Riddles the ground around the group of pillars with large cracks that enemies may get stuck in.

Created Spells:

If you want to submit a spell, send one to me in a PM.

-Amiplify: Redirects all the strength from you upper body to your legs. Can only be used by Tylan Hakima. Submitted by The-Blades-Slave.

-Crystal: The user can summon a simple weapon made of crystal at the cost of half his/her mana. (EX: Sword, Staff, Club, etc.) The weapons are sturdy initially, but if the users mana is low then the weapon will shatter easily. Weapons get stronger/sturdier with each level. Usable by only mages. Submitted by 9Nexalas6
