Why hello there. Welcome to Flying Asparagus. :D I'm Creator, one of your three lovely admins.
Let's cut to the chase. You're here because you want to know if FA is worth joining. So let me just give you a rundown of what we're like.
Let's cut to the chase. You're here because you want to know if FA is worth joining. So let me just give you a rundown of what we're like.
- Our official genre is contemporary fantasy, which is basically just fantasy in a modern day setting.
- FA mostly covers the gifted, otherwise ordinary folks with superpowers. Extremely rarely, we also allow magic (wizards, mages, bards, etc), werewolves (as a magical curse), and vampires (also a curse). Basically, it's possible to make whatever you want as long as it can be explained by magic.
- Non-gifted characters are extremely rare, unless you just want a normal human. When you decide to make a character, there's a 1% chance you'll be allowed to make a magic-user and a 1% chance you can make something else like a vampire or a werewolf. That being said, there's nothing to stop you from learning magic from an existing magic-user, or getting cursed later on to become a vampire or a werewolf. Just know that if you choose gifted, you can never learn to use magic, but the other options still stand.
- The central plot basically goes like this. It's the same world we all live in, but one day something happened, and around 10,000 people across the world suddenly got superpowers. Nobody knows what caused it to happen, but nevertheless, things went to shit. Some people went crazy with power and attacked cities, thinking they were the only ones who got powers. Others tried to hide it, knowing the dangers of exposing what they were. Mankind was afraid of these gifted, and a political storm erupted. Some countries hunted them down and killed them, others served as a refuge. As for the United States, the debate is still ongoing, but all gifted are being asked to register their abilities with the government and refrain from using them. Any use of these abilities not sanctioned by the United States government has been made illegal. Bounty hunters work for both the government and for private parties, hunting, killing, sometimes capturing these dangerous gifted. The world is scared, and the future is uncertain.
- We're primarily set in New York City because of its ideal size and diversity, but you can roleplay anywhere in the world. Realistic travel times are expected.
- There are a few organizations you can join, from groups meant to watch each other's backs to gifted gangs to gifted-hunting gifted to whatever else you can think of.
- We're cool.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, so if you have any other questions feel free to ask someone in the Cbox or send a PM to one of the admins. :D Or you can post your questions right here in this thread.
