    Year 150 of the New Human Era (2166 of the Old Calendar)
     

     Humanity as we know it was barely able to survive the Third Impact, a worldwide cataclism brought by the organization NERV just after the end of a life-or-death fight against an alien life-form known as the "Angels". Planet Earth was turned into a barren land with almost no life forms to speak of, contamined soil and red seas - the planet will have to start life and evolution from scratch, and that will take too long for the remaining humans to wait.

     Even now, one and a half century after the End of the World happened, nobody knows for sure what transpired during the Tokyo 3 tragedy that almost ended all life in the planet. What is known for sure is that humanity must leave it´s homeland if they wish to live.
     

     It´s last resources where used up in the last fifteen decades by the very few survivors of the cataclism to make a new start. The remnants of the UN forces, along with the last surviving NERV center in Germany, pieced together what they could of the technology from before in order to put a last effort on humanity´s survival: building arcs to search for a new home for human race amidst the darkness of space. The new authority leaded the efforts to gather what little was left from humanity scattered across the globe and created a militarized society with focus on survival and growth of mankind, as well as in the recovery of lost tech and the building of the five arcs.
     

     Finally the arcs were readied, and the last few thousand living humans embarked for what would be the first - and perhaps the last - migration of the new human era.
    Exodus had begun.


     Sooo I thought I wouldn´t get around to hosting anything again for a while, but while doing some procrastination on class I was hit by an old idea of mine: an Evangelion based RP. So I started thinking a bit, the story started to unfold in my head and now I find myself presenting the idea to you guys.

     Neon Exodus Evangelion is set more than 150 years after the events of Neon Genesis Evangelion and The End of Evangelion. I´ll not take the Rebuild version of the story into account, seeing as it is not over yet, but some elements introduced on it may appear. Even though not in the same circumstances as the original story, we will be seeing EVAs, Angels, epic fights and deep rooted secrets and plotting behind the scenes - hopefully, everything that made Evangelion the sucess it was.

    Players will take place of the space pioneers aboard one of the arcs, after a new inhabitable planet has been discovered by it´s systems. As you land and start exploring your new home, the story will unveil with old and new foes trying to stand in your way.

    Although knowledge of the original story is certainly helpful, I´ll try to make it so people that haven´t watched the anime can hop in and play without worry. Though if that´s your case you should be prepared for spoilers!

     It´s important to notice that, since it´s such a controversial story and - specially by the ending - many of the details aren´t very well explained, the RP will follow my undestandment of what happened in the original series (heavily backed up by EVA Geeks, a sort of Evangelion Wiki).

    MECHANICS AND RULES
     This will be a free-form RP - meaning no numbers, dice roling etc. We will focus solely in the writing aspect, and battle outcomes will be ultimately decided by the host, should any doubts arise in this point.

     As for rules, first and foremost comes respect for other players and the host (we´re here to have fun, right?). I will also ask for restraint with the use of swearing, sexual content and gore/violence (a bit more freedom than usual with the last one since, well, this is Evangelion). Avoid taking those over the top ok?

     Bunnying (playing other peoples charaters without consent) is out of the question, as is playing your character based on your OOC knowledge. They should react based on what they know, not what their player know´s, about what is going on. 

     Avoid making your character too Mary-Sueish for the sake of fun and character development.

    Have fun!

    World Information (May contain Neon Genesis Evangelion spoilers for those who didn´t watch the show)
     

    Spoiler

    This is what the characters would know about the previous events that led the world to meet it´s end:
    -Asuka, Shinji and Rei´s fighting against the Angels is well known, (though not in detail, only that they tried to save mankind with the EVAs), and Ikari Gendo was blamed for causing the Third Impact out of madness and hatred towards his own kind - at least in the oficial records. The assault at NERV headquarters was covered up as a failed attempt to stop Gendo.
    -EVA research and construction was banished (at least oficially) right after the Third Impact.
    -The Arks - and  the NERV-03 government before the start of Exodus - have a militarized society led by the Ark Captain and officers. Most adults work in either research, maintenance, or the military itself.
    -Most of the Arks´ crew and passengers were kept in Cryosleep for the journey, except for the minimun necessary for maintaining the space ships.

    Profession: Mage

     

    Appearance: Short (almost 1.6 m) and thin, with long blond hair and very pale skin. Has the looks of a 10~12 years old child, totally "kawaii" until you look into her eyes and see the bloodthirst there.   

     

    Personality: If there´s one word to describe Pray, that would be "violent". In stark contrast with her cute, childish appearence, the girl is battle hungry and pretty anti-social towards her companions, prefering to "hunt" alone. That rather difficult personality was the source of many problems to her, that ended up leading her to Valtoria.

    It´s the first time I´m playing an RP with this kind of mechanics, so please tell me if I went to over the top, or too modest, with those.

    So, who are you?: Heyo, Notus here. I´m a student of Brazil´s Merchant Navy Academy and a sailor who ended up here after discovering the Reborn game. Pokémon was always my favourite game and finding this jewel here got me anxious for more content. I lurked around in the forums for quite some time before deciding to sign up in... What was it, 2013?
     Anyway, in a short while I fell in love with this place, made some great friends online for the first time in my life and also learned a lot  about the game itself. Soon I got into the Creative Writing Section (at that time, it was only for RP) and that´s where I spent most of my time in the Forums, reading and writing along with the good people in there. I also learned competitive battling in the Reborn Server and got through more than half of the Reborn League before it was shut down (RIP). In the last two years I´ve been way less active than before and now I´m trying once again to come back. 

     

    Anything you're responsible for?: I did host a couple of RPs and started the EV Training Guide (is this still a thing?), but other than that I just enjoy the community.

     

    If you had to choose one of your posts as your way to introduce yourself, which would it be?

    I guess my first post in the OOC of the RP "Under the Hill", in the RP Forums. But honestly this one is way more complete.

     

    What can I talk to you about?

     Books, stories in general, a bit about music, and specially travels (I´ve been to some cool places and the plan is to keep the list growing). And obviously pokémon. The best thing about Reborn is getting to know the people that come here, so actually any subject is fine to start a conversation.

     

    Closing statements?

    Nice to meet you all, hopefully my stay will be longer this time around!

  5. The War Girl

     Petra let go of the remainings of the Bone Wasp and watched as it fell to the ground with a wet cracking sound. She felt pain - lots of it - but also relief and, strangely, a hint of joy. Maybe she should be worried about it, or it could be just effect of the adrenaline, but she knew she didn´t have the time to think about that now.

     

     After looking back for a moment to check on the advance of the Black, the War Girl walked, limping a bit, to the next room.

  6. The War Girl 

     Petra once more screamed inside her mind, while her face showed no sign of pain whatsoever. She was dizzy, but somehow her body still reacted in a cold and calculated manner, with a slight glint of anger showing in her eyes. She buried her left claw´s fingers into the stinger showing out of her belly, trying to make sure the wasp wasn´t going anywhere. Then she folded her right arm, placing the black cannon over her shoulder - and directly pointed at the monster on her back - and shot at point blank range.

     

     

    (No problem, it´s part of the game XD)

  7.  For once, Petra consciently thought of a strategy to beat the wasp and simultaneously reach the next room.

     The girl turned around, quickly taking aim at the approaching monster and, bracing for the pain, shot another huge bullet at it.

     While shooting she jumped, so that the recoil of the huge cannon would propel her away from the wasp and towards the exit.

  8. Petra was between happy with her success at destroying the nest and plain dumbfounded at her own newly discovered fire power - all of this with a background of pain from the shot. She started running towards the exit keeping her aim at the wasp, but after such a shocking experience she prefered to try and strike the opponent using the black cannon as a mace instead of shooting, once she had gotten closer. Her body seemed to accept that command, but she was still ready to shoot in case it was needed.

  9.   The realization that the room she was in had no apparent exit came as a cold shower to Petra, however while she was looking around an idea suddenly hit her.

    The nest.

      It could be that the wasps were coming from somewhere else, passing through that. At least before retreating she should check that out, to make sure that room provided no escape route. How she would do that, though...

     

     Again, her body knew the answer, although it wasn´t a very pleasant one. She feinted at the wasp with her sword to gain some space, and then the bones in her right arm started moving once more. The black bone cracked and expanded, taking a long tubular shape with a cubic structure serving as base. "A... cannon?" Petra thought to herself, amazed, as she turned the barrel of the huge weapon towards the wasp´s nest.


     BTaqsKT.jpg

     Then came pain. She felt like a piece of her own arm was being torn off as the cannon fired a projectile made of her own bone towards the target.  

  10. The War Girl

     For a moment Petra exhilarated  for having defeated the bone wasp, but her joy was short lived as she was startled by the noise of the lowering roof and the buzz of another insect coming her way. She felt cold sweat running down her forehead, as she realized her situation was way more troublesome than she had thought.

     

     Her body assumed a defensive stance and she started to use her head along with her newly acquired instincts. She would try to block the wasp with her Katana and  hopefully pressure it towards the exit without using lethal force - meanwhile, she would think of a plan to get past it.

  11.   Petra screamed, but no sound came out of her mouth. She noticed the white... blood? cascading from her chest and felt a pain like none she ever had. Still, her body continued to move on it's own. 

     

     She went for a more cautious stance, following carefully the wasp's movements. She knew she had to break through no matter what to leave the Black behind - even though she didn't know for sure what that was, it scared her more then the monstrous insect in front of her.

     

      Then suddenly, she felt pain. Lot's of pain. Her body didn't show it, but she was screaming inside her mind, because something was happening to her right hand. The black claws were fusing together, changing shape and growing with a sickening sound of bone cracking and tearing through flash. The process was fast, but painful to even watch. In the end of it, Petra had a long, Katana like boney sword in the place of her right hand, and started slowly and cautiously pressuring the wasp to the other side of the narrow room, ready to either stab it if it kept in her way or cut it down if she tried to get inside her reach.

  12.   Normally Petra would have screamed at the sight of the giant insect coming towards her at blazing speed. She would have considered  going back to the previous room, despite of the black shadow creeping ever closer, and she would have hesitated. And she would have died.
      

     Her body moved on it´s own, though, as if it was possesed by a predator beast. Before her conscious self could process what was happening, she ran towards the wasp with all the speed her body could muster. On the last moment before being impaled by the wicked stinger, she turned slightly sideways and and lowered her body to position herself under the insect. One of her claws was positioned to deflect the stinger if the monster changed direction, and the other was thrust upwards like a bullet, trying to throw the enemy against the spiked roof.

  13.  Petra already had dreams where she felt like she was falling, but being flung across a room was a first. She landed quite nimbly on her feet, and that was one of the reasons she knew this had to be happening inside of her head - she never was even close to being the athletic type, aside from her walks to her neighborhood´s bookstore.

     She was quick to make note of her surroundings. The pure white of the room was blinding, and she probably wouldn´t even have noticed the door if her senses weren´t somehow heightened. 

    And then, there was the black thing on the other side. Her whole being was screaming "danger" to her for some reason, and she decided to trust her instinct on this one. It really looked ominous.

      Petra quickly walked to the door and reached for the knob... Only to be left speechless by the vision of her own hand.
    Better saying, she had no hand anymore, but black, curved and wicked looking claws instead. Petra frantically checked the rest of her body, but aside from the claws she couldn´t see any difference. She was even wearing her usual black and white tracksuit, the one with a crown drawn on the chest.

     "Calm down, it´s just a dream... I´ll take a better look at my hands later." Petra thought to herself while reaching again for the door knob.

    Only after turning it she thought how suspect was it that she was actually aware she was dreaming.

  14. Hello everyone, and sorry for having disappeared since the holydays... Things have been crazy busy (in a good way at least).

     I´m sorry to say that, due to other projects I have running right now and IRL stuff that came up this month, I won´t be able to run Myriad in here anymore. If one of you would like to step up as host though, please send me a PM and I´ll give you all the support I can!

     Thank you all for playing, it´s been great to write alongside you guys!

    Cana gave Jesse an impacient look "I don´t now them silly, I´m not from here!

    "Yeah, it´s a problem. I hate making the security of this kind of crowded space." Marcus said, sighing. "Anyway, I did manage to get the guards list from the CIty Guard, I already identified some of them pretending to be civilians. And my contacts prevented that info about you being the killers from reaching them as well, of course."

"Even me, though I didn´t want to take any chances. Anyone could be wearing one of these." Bargus knew that was the stealing glove, painted all white on the outside to make it stand out less.

    Misara

    An angel approached Misara, dressed elegantly in a white suit. "Oh hey, look at who is here. Did you lose your sister again?" When he got near, Misara recognized him as being Hesediel, though he looked pretty different in formal clothes. He smiled at her and then looked around. "What do you think of our work here in the Ceremony Hall? It ended up pretty well, didn´t it?"

    Gabriel

    Gabriel felt someone touching his shoulder from behind. "Good evening Gabriel, how are you liking the party?" The vampire recognized Ledoroch wothout even turning to see the blue skinned demon. "Have you been feeling well these last days?"
