Welcome to Gaia! ::

(It's back! And with new people, we're starting from the begining. Woo!)
Background: This rp takes place in approximately 2050. Government scientists have been developing a machine to move between dimentions, but unfortunatly, one of the scientists activated the machine before it was ready. This caused the machine to malfunction, opening rifts all over the planet. Then the machine exploded. Many people were sucked into these dimention rifts, which was connected to a universe inverse to our own. The universe was populated by creatures that are myths in our world (like vampires, werewolves, ghosts, basilisks, wendigos, etc. All mythological creatures.), while humans are nothing more than myths and legends. Big cities did exist, but instead of relying on science, the alternate universe used magic, and science was feared and distrusted. However, the arrival of the humans caused an enormous stir. Some felt the humans should be destroyed, some thought assmiliation was best, and others still felt sympathy for the humans' plight and were willing to try to get them back. However, these sympathizers were few and far between, and lacked the resources to activly help the humans. Current situation: The humans who were sucked into the voids have been left for dead by their own universe. This means they are trapped until they gain enough allies to get a spell or machine able to duplicate the effects of the original dimention machine. One thing complicates this. Humans are currently disliked or ignored by approximately 90% of the creatures of the alternate universe. Fortunately (or unfortunately) more than 50% of the 90% believe that the humans should be assimilated into their society. This assimilation would involve the human being morphed, with or without their permission, into a denizen of the universe. Some of the humans already have begun to assimilate naturally, but most have not.
Player characters start as normal humans. The story starts during or after the rifts open, and continues from there. Characters must be fairly realistic, but I will be moderatly leniant with stretching the definition of "realistic". Remember, none of the people pulled into Mythos were expecting it, so they will only have what they had at the time of the event.
Introduce your character as such:
Name/Nickname:
Age:
Race/Ethnicity:
Description (the better this is, the better the TF’s will be):
Style Of Dress:
Personality/Outlook/Mannerisms:
Skills:
Equipment (When rift opened):
Transformation pereference:
types: gradual automatic: gradually change into a creature without outerward cause
gradual spelled: gradually change into a creature because of some spell. instant automatic: As soon as they come through the portal they have changed into a creature.
instant spelled: When hit with a spell they instantly change into a creature. NPC’s will be introduced/described as appropriate.
Final word: I put a fair amount of thought into this rp, so please take it seriously. I'll be watching it and posting when ever possible, so please don't make me waste my time. The more active the characters are, the more interesting the rp will be. If you do not use your charcter for more than a month, I will assume you have given up on the rp and have your character killed off in a suitably painless way. Oh, and no cheating.

Name: Rarus Valeron (He insists this is his name)

Age: 19

Race/Ethnicity: Male caucasian

Appearance: Athletic, and extremely stout. Contrary to his initial rugged appearance are his shining green eyes, and his neck length, straight hair, which he has dyed lavendar, in a rather successful attempt to stand apart from the crowd.

Style Of Dress: Loose and simple. Favors a shirt with red and silver V on front.

Personality: Self-sufficient, and somewhat of a perfectionist, he follows the ideal that a being can become perfect by eliminating all personal weaknesses. Towards this he has become quite chivalrous. His greatest flaws are his pride, and his distrust towards those he deems as "shady." He takes noticable measures to make himself distinct.

Skills: Through enduring intentional physical hardships, has become amazingly durable, and has considerable martial arts skill.

Equipment (when the rift opened): Normal clothes, Judo outfit, and four of his notorious "power shakes." Also, when the rift opened, he was in a demonstration to the club on defense against weapons, and thusly had a (dull) hatchet, (dull) spear, and a padded jacket.

TF Pereference: Gradual Spelled (Very gradual; his body fights against any foreign influence)

As Rarus traveled down his winding drive way, his body ached. That was nothing new. It simply meant that once he recovered, he'd be that much tougher, although perhaps bringing the spear to the demonstration was a bid much. His thoughts were interrupted by a loud pop, followed by a earsplitting buzz. "What in the-!?" As soon as he felt the portal's tug on his mass, he dug his feet into the ground, bracing himself. Unfortunately, the drive way was paved with gravel, which rolled under his feet, sending him to the ground, where he quickly went into a slide, the portal disappearing with him as quickly as it had came.

(So do we TF ourselves in this one?)

(I'd rather be TFed by someone else. If not, I might as well just join an RP on my site. XP)

(Yep, I can do it. I need the practice, anyway.)

(hooray! Now we can start, once Marjask posts his intro.)

Rarus slowly stood up from behind a nearby oak, a confounded look on his face. He stared at his surroundings in disbelief, then noticed Lysander. He cleared his mind and his throat. "Excuse me, but do you happen to know where this is?"
