 COMMUNITIES; dhrpg :: dhooc :: dhlogs **THE PREMISE;**Countless worlds have always existed on countless planes of existence, their denizens going about their daily routines with hardly an inkling of what may lay beyond the bubble of their lives. But some things, like good - like evil, are universal and able to cross all boundaries, all universes.Creatures known as heartless appeared suddenly on countless worlds, spreading chaos in their wake. None could determine where they had come from, or who had summoned them, but one thing was certain: they needed to be contained, stopped, and sent back to whatever plane they had originated from.The heartless destroyed the boundaries that separated one world from another, and as the boundaries fell, the people of countless worlds found themselves thrown face to face with the knowledge that they weren't quite alone in the universe. People fought, and fell, and those who managed to escape their ruined worlds banded together to create a halfway-place, a demi-world combining replications of the best of each of their original universes. They called it The Lost City.It is the only true safehaven known to exist, though it won't be long before it, too, comes under attack.It won't be long before it, too, falls.One world that has since mysteriously been sealed away held a legend of the trinity - a trio of warriors capable of combatting the heartless and the forces that stand behind them. One, to wield a Key that can lock or unlock any door. One, to wield a Staff that can call forth all manner of magic. And one, to wield a Shield that can guard and protect any manner of creature. Three warriors, to save the world. But there was more than one world at stake, now. There were hundreds, perhaps thousands. The creators of the City came to a unanimous decision: they would need not one, but many trios of saviors.One, Chosen by the power of the Keyblade.One, Chosen by the wisdom of the Staff.One, Chosen by the strength of the Shield.**THE BASICS;**Digital Hearts is an RPG that is based off several of the concepts set forth in the game Kingdom Hearts. The main gist of the plotline is this: heartless have mysteriously appeared and begun destroying every videogame world you can imagine, and I mean every single one. However, Sora and his merry crew aren't there to help. In fact, the world that is the Kingdom Hearts game has been mysteriously sealed off and is inaccessable (By extension, characters from the Kingdom Hearts universe aren't available to play). As already mentioned in the premise, characters will be placed in teams of three, and will find themselves with either a keyblade, a staff, or a shield. Characters with established personalities from any video game are available for application purposes. I'd prefer characters from games that have a continuous plot of sorts, but I'm pretty flexible, granted that a character has personality and a backstory. Obviously, many worlds will likely not have representation by player characters, which is perfectly fine.**The following types of games are generally not allowed for player characters:(though there ARE exceptions - best way to go about it is to apply, and we'll let you know if the character's okay)**--> Fighting games (ie Dead or Alive, Mortal Kombat, etc.) - this applies to games where the minimal amount of story present is just a backdrop to lots of fighting.--> Commercial-based games (ie games based off movies, or using characters from another medium, like TV shows) - games that have such things based off them are fine, though, even if the game itself isn't as well-known. For instance, the .hack// games are allowed, as characters not based in the series are the prime focus.--> Old-school arcade games (ie Pacman, Pong, etc) - if a character doesn't have a personality to speak of, you can bet they won't be playable.**HOW TO APPLY;**--> If you are interested in playing a villain, then send me an e-mail, as they have slightly different circumstances than everybody else. And by villain, I mean a character who's going to be on he heartless' side. Whether or not the character was a villain in their original universe is irrelevant. (Also keep in mind that characters who were villains in their respective games CAN be part of a trinity, whether due to their own motives, the influence of the force behind the heartless, or because they share the same goal as the 'good guys,' for a change).Fill out the following application form and send it to violetknight[at]gmail.com with "Digital Hearts" somewhere in the subject line.Your Name: E-mail:Personal LJ:AIM (if applicable):Character:Game of Origin:History (in a nutshell):Personality (in a nutshell):Keyblade, Staff, or Shield?:Writing Sample: (third person, any topic, at least a paragraph - focussing on your character, please)CURRENT CAST;(more trinities added as needed)For your convenience (and so the userinfo isn't so clogged), a complete list of current characters in the RPG is available here; characters are grouped by weapon-type, followed by villains and the Anti-Heartless Movement.The idea behind Digital Hearts belongs to  innamoramento, as does the original incarnation of the game. Kingdom Hearts and all associated games belong to Squenix and a bunch of Japanese businessmen who make much more money than me. ;_; All other characters/games belong to their respective companies, so no sueing, kay? |
