{ ~> T H E . I D E A <~ } . . . . . . -»∙´‾`~»»This is a roleplay that begins with all the characters as normal humans. Throughout the RP each character will evolve into something more. The evolution process is a long one and will take time, so be patient. Some characters will learn powers such as levitation, telekinesis, clairvoyance, extra limbs, extensions of limbs, etc. It may sound strange, but please read on before you judge.

Special thanks to Archaic_Paradise for creating the original roleplay; which this roleplay is largely based off of and to Fiye, who is more-or-less responsible for the second version.
Additional special thanks goes to Kitty_Katastrophe, as this particular Metamorphosis roleplay is virtually a copy-and-paste of her own roleplay, which is located here, though this thread may be altered to spice things up or simply fit more with my personal taste. Yes, altered rules, possibly. Read and weep. I give no leeway to those who do not read every single informational post here, so brace yourselves.

«« . ~¤«¬´‾`•◊ - ♥-»∙´‾`~ . »» 1.) . . . Follow all Barton Town rules and the Gaian ToS, but that goes without saying.
2.) No killing without permission from the person you want to kill and from me. Fighting is fine, so long as you don't get exceptionally graphic. We don't want to break any rules.
3.) . . . Be literate. Please. I give no mercy to those who are illiterate in any way; know what you’re getting into if you decide to so much as join this roleplay. For the sanity of us all, post at least three hundred words per post in at least three paragraphs with no less than five sentences each. If you’re going to exceed that amount by a whole lot more, then the way you put your paragraphs doesn’t matter. Just keep things double-spaced between paragraphs and refrain from posts that hurt the eyes. If you refuse to be literate, you will be warned. If you continue to refuse to be literate, you will be kicked out—or if you prefer the kinder term of banned—from this roleplay. Forever.
4.) . . . PM me your profile with the title of "Azure Skies~". Yes, that includes the swirl-like thing. Hate the title? Too bad. Title the PM that anyway. Failure to do so will result in my, more or less, ignoring your PM completely no matter how much I love the beautiful prose of your most-splendid character profile. Posting it here will result in me warning you and possibly making an example out of you of how “one should not do things”. Also, do not post until I PM you saying I accept your profile and add it to the accepted characters list. Cruel? Hecks yes. I never said I wasn’t strict.
5.) . . . No characters younger than 15. I’ll allow for exceptions only if I love your profile so much that I will personally implode if I tell you to change it.
6.) . . . Use (( )) or [[ ]] for OOC. Or something like it, at least.
7.) . . . Don't go overboard on the quotes. We're not little children. It isn't necessary. I’d prefer it if you only used them if the post of the person you were interacting with was, oh, say… five pages behind current time?
8.) . . . Romance is encouraged. Just don't do anything that will get us in trouble with Gaia. I myself personally like romance.
9.) . . . This is a long-termed roleplay. Therefore, no ditching. Or I will kick you out. I’ll understand if you’re busy with schoolwork or something of the sort—hell, even I get overloaded with work sometimes—but you must PM me about it. Otherwise I’ll delete your character.
10.) . . . You are allowed a maximum of two characters. No more. This rule does not apply to NPCs. Some exceptions may be made, however.
11.) . . . I am God (or whomever demands the highest degree of respect) in this role play. The greatest entity of all. Therefore, you are my peons, and you will listen to me if I have something to say. If I intervene with a manner, my words will be heeded. Or risk being banned for good.
12.) . . . No godmoding or puppetting. It's annoying. But don't take advantage of this rule, either. If you do, I might just enable auto-hitting to keep you in line. [Azuwrius: Well said, Kitty_Katastrophe.]
13.) . . . Be respectful to other players.
14.) . . . If you wish to add in a little twist or plot distortion, please PM me about it. No one has the privilege of mangling the plot of this RP unless I input my say first. Of course, that means I get final decision. No objections. I can refuse your idea. Don’t get all hissy about it either or you’ll regret it.
15.) . . . If you have two characters and win the PotW or the PotM awards, then you may choose which character gets the points.
16.) . . . Your character cannot progress past his 10th level. This rule may be subject to change, if needed.
17.) . . . You cannot win PotW or PotM twice in a row.
18.) . . . I can add or change rules whenever I like. New ones will be in red. Check this place out every here and then to remain updated.
19.) . . . For a decent diversity of characters, we’ll need characters of both genders and transcendants and humans alike. Good, bad, neutral, etc. If we have too much of one side, I’ll be replying to PMs with the point that people should fix their profiles so we have more diversity. First come first serve, if you will. Of course, no matter how late or slow I am, I still get to pick no matter what. Bwahaha.
20.) . . . I cannot stress this rule enough. BE REALISTIC. As realistic as possible. Just because this is a science-fiction-fantasy RP it doesn’t mean you get to stretch the fabric of reality. That’s my job, unfortunately. Break this rule and I will warn you. Again, and it’s a ban.
21.) . . . No Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. Realism, remember?
22.) . . . Please, please, please post in THIRD PERSON. I absolutely detest first-person posts.
23.) . . . Be patient when waiting for replies. Posts around here take time and effort. Lots of it. So, don't be surprised if posts don't come for several hours. Or maybe even a day. But two days is when you should PM the person you're interacting with.
24.) . . . All the rules must be followed. Or else.
«« . ~¤«¬´‾`•◊ - ♥-»∙´‾`~ . »» Intimidated? Good. That was my goal. I hope you’re still willing to join, though.

On the world of Efraen there are many who would deny those transcending humanity their right to evolve. In the struggle for survival, will you play as a human undergoing metamorphosis, gaining strengths and weaknesses as you progress, or will you play as a normal human, hunting down those who have exceeded your own level of humanity? Whether it be for greed, power, ambition, or envy, most humans have decided to mount an assault on all the Transcendants. Some humans have decided to find the secret to metamorphosis and others may worship the Transcendants as gods. What is your place in the world?
About the Transcendent genealogy: Transcendants are a strange group of people, much like the mutants in X-Men. If you know what I'm talking about, you'll know that Transcendants can be born from both human and Transcendant parents. It is possible for occurences to happen where someone will be born from two transcendant parents, but not be one themselves, or be born from two humans and become a transcendent. There is, at the moment, no explanation to why this occurs, and this causes hysteria in all cultures.

20 EXP can be gained by simply posting lengthy, but good, posts. Going by this equations W/100. W = Words in post. Lets say you have 90 words in a post. You'll get no TXP. If you have 95, then you'll get away with 1 TXP. 190 will get you 1 TXP, and this pattern will continue infinitely, as long as quality remains high.
You can use this program for counting your words, if you don't have anything else. I like it better than Word, because it takes less time.
You can also get a free 10 TXP by being active; posting 3 posts for that day of decent quality. You can only get 10 activity TXP per day, even if you post 6 or 9 posts.
Other TXP is reserved for posts of the week/month.
PotW will receive 40TXP.
PotM winners will automatically gain a level and retain all current TXP rather than being reset to 0. «« . ~¤«¬´‾`•◊ - ♥-»∙´‾`~ . »»Levels work this way. You will start off about level 1 with one basic skill. When you advance to level 2, your basic skill will advance to it's corresponding advanced skill, and you receive another basic skill. Once you hit level 3, your Advanced skill will become a mastered skill, your basic will become an advanced, and you will receive yet another basic. This pattern will continue on to an infinite degree.
Each level is 100 TXP higher than the level before it.
Level progress: This is where TXP becomes useful.
Level 1: Gained by merit.
Level 2: Gained by having 100 TXP.
Level 3: Gained by having 200 TXP.
Level 4: Gained by having 300 TXP.
Level 5: Gained by having 400 TXP.
Etc... Etc... Etc...

PotW and PotM are "Post of the Week" and "Post of the Month". Every week, there will be a poll where people may vote on the person whose posts should be featured as the PotW. Then, at the end of the month, the people whose posts were selected as the PotW will be placed in another poll where people basically vote for who should be PotM. Usually, there are rewards for the people who win the polls, such as extra TXP, so it's a nice way of gaining some extra experience points.
So I won't judge wrongly, the PotW and PotM starting after the first will be held as elections to be put up the next week. Come often, so you can nominate the best posters!

{ ~> F A Q <~ } . . . . . . -»∙´‾`~»»
«« . ~¤«¬´‾`•◊ - ♥-»∙´‾`~ . »»
For the sake of clarification. If anybody has more questions, feel free to send me a PM and I’ll try my best to answer them in such a way that everyone will understand.
«« . ~¤«¬´‾`•◊ - ♥-»∙´‾`~ . »»
Q.) So I looked at my TXP, and I'm at 99... How exactly do I select a new ability? Should I PM you, or post it, or...What?
A.) PMing is fine, as is posting, I just need to be informed. Actually, posting might be better so that the others know about it as well... For example, you could make an out-of-character post with the words “Level up!” along with your character’s name.
Q: What kind of technology exists? Is it medieval, present, or futuristic (airships, energy weapons, what not)?
A: It's modern times. So even though it takes place in another world, everything else is the same.
Q: Your introduction gives the impression that there are only Transcendants and Transcendent-hunting humans. Is it possible to roleplay as a human who is relatively unconcerned with the Transcendent issue?
A: Yes, you may. However, I’d like to keep this number limited; we need a lot of bad guys too, you know.
Q.) I know that many abilities stem from that (ice, wind, fire, etc.) and it seems reasonable that only one ability would advance at a time. Say I have Pulse (small), which I choose to evolve into Fire Shot. Now on the next level, I know that Fire Shot turns into Inferno, and I get a new basic ability, but what if I wanted Shock? Would I already have the prerequisite for Shock, or would I have to relearn Pulse (small) or what?
A.) You can have only one ability that evolves from Pulse.
Q.) If my character is a Transcendent, do does he/she have to specifically select only one type of ability? Like only mental abilities or internal abilities?
A.) No. Your character may have abilities from all the categories. You may basically have any combination of Transcendent abilities, if your character is of that race, that is.
Q.) Does the ability body shifting enable you to go around the borders of a human form? Like can you morph into animals?
A. To limit the godliness of that power, you cannot morph into animals or give yourself extensions that render the point of the "Extension" abilities useless.
