Idea for a Potential RP -- RIP

[Dahak]

RIP: Reality is Perception

Basically, what I had in mind is that the RP will be based in a modern (fictional) large city. At the beginning of the story, rumors of various strange activities occuring are widespread, but are generally dismissed as eccentricities.

In actuality, there is a barrier that surrounds the planet that inforces our current perception of reality. Recently, rips in this barrier have been occurring that allow people to do supernatural things (magic) while inside the influence area of a rip.

What I have planned is four factions (as of now) that are aware of this rips that take different stances on how the rips should be dealt with. What I am trying to acheive is conflict amongst factions without there being a default evil side. To summarize, one side wants to close and prevent rips, the opposing faction wants to completely destroy the existing barrier. Another side sees the power granted through rips as the right to create a new order while the opposing believes the gifted and non gifted are equal.

In order for people to use their talents inside the rips, they have to awaken it, otherwise the rip has no effect on them. Awakened individuals who enter a rip's form changes to reflect the person's true identity (soul?).


Would anyone be interested in this? Ideas? Comments? Critique?

Alright. I'll see about starting this in a day or two. There's a few ideas I need to flesh out before I start this.

Characters can start out already awakened, but I'd like at least one character unawakened so that I can use them as a tool to explain how different things work. If you want to start thinking about characters here's some things you should consider:

Name
Age
Ethnicity
Occupation
Awakened?
Alias? (Does your character go by something else for rip situations)
Form? (What does your character look like in rips.)
Alignment
Weapon or Fighting style (I'd recommend that everyone know some form of self defense since magic is utterly useless outside rips and fights may occur outside them.)


For character's rip talents I would like characters to have certain specializations in their talents. (ie fire magic, able to augment people, able to alter physical surroundings, power over gravity, psychic, ect.)

Ok. I'm pretty much ready to start the RP. Here's some of the names of things in the story.

City: Moranda

Names of the different factions:

Chosen -- Believes being awakened puts them above other people, thus strive to put others under their rule.

Guru -- Oppose the Chosen, primarily strive to understand rips and their effects.

Liberator -- Strive to destroy the barrier around the planet that they believe holds back the potential of humanity.

Guardian -- Believe that humanity as a whole cannot cope with the dramatic changes that rips induce. They believe that if the barrier was removed, the whole world would fall into pandemonium and anarchy.

I was creating a few minor characters in my head and realized that they didn't fit into any of the other factions, so I decided to add a 5th faction.

Chaos -- Only see rips as a source of amusement. They use their powers solely to satisfy their power trips. Generally disregard the well being of others. The more destruction they cause, the more fun they have. The other factions mainly see this faction as the dregs of the awakened and treat them as thus.
