Post The HikiCulture World (Out of Character Chat, Open to All)
Welcome to the HikiCulture World, a roleplay on the citizens of the world called Hikiculture, a whimsical land where anyone can go to seek a refuge from the outside world, no matter their past, present, or future circumstances. Each person arrived here seeking a place to get away from it all. Seek no more! You've arrived. Just fill out the template of your character, and you are ready to set out to a fantastical land where you ca be anything, -anything- you want.

(Note, there are rules, but they are more common sense than anything.
1. Do not overpower your character
2. Do not control other people's characters
3. If you plan to do something amazing, epic, drastic, etc, please let me know so I can adapt any NPC's to actually /help/ you achieve the desired goal!)

Name: Nishi Nishi (like Mario Mario, its Nishi Nishi but just call me Nishi lol)

Age: Confidential

Gender: Andromorphic. He does it to get under the covers of pubescent males lol jk.... I suck at being serious -_-

History: Confidential... only admins have access to this information. lol

Appearance: see avatar... but further detail, he never changes his designer suit; doesn't bath. Teeth are putrid. He reeks of diaper shit. His body looks like its been to 'nam and back from all his scars. Oh yeah, and his limbs are distorted and not proportional because he has the ability to mend body parts from a rare breed of maggots that he has raised.

Personality: He is sarcastic, psychotic, psychopathic, and blah blah blah. (What a dick!)

Abilities: he can change sexes as I said. But in order to do so he has to cut off his body parts and redistribute them in accord to whatever sex he wants. Its a painful process but not fatal because order to do it he's got an implant in his spinal cord that prevents him from going into shock. Furthermore, in order to recover from blood loss, he has fang implants that allow him to suck the blood of any human... and he can stand on one middle finger to do that Neo and Morpheus side-bicycle kick from The Matrix. Lol.

I will keep you posted on any further developments of this vile creature that is on the loose in HikiCulture.


I still don't know how to do this thing but I guess I'll see where it goes from here.

Name:
Soulless
Age:
Unknown
Gender:
Unknown
Appearance:
Image

History:
Soulless came to hikiculture long ago, picking up on a single thread of music that he followed. He came to sidle by Aillas, and despite his darkness Aillas saw through to see a pure spirit, making him one of the Staff.
Personality:
Soulless is a very cruel, psychotic person on the surface. Once he decides on something he has absolutely no problem with ruthlessly going about his business. He is usually a passive character, unless something agitates him. He is prone to acting child-like, as well as show symtoms of being unable to understand people beyond a factual basis of study. He isn't very well known, being a Staff member, but it his power is not exactly inconspicuous.
Abilties:
He can project his dreams and emotions onto reality in the form of physical entities. Although his body itself is fairly weak and fragile, his imagination produces anything he needs to be a terror to fight. Added onto this are the 'basic' abilities of a Staff member, which is he understands innately the flow of HikiCulture, as well he can remove objects that are deemed to interrupt said flow. Although unique for each Staff, his 'deletions' are in the form of extreme degeneration, should he touch it with the desire to delete, it will rot away as if rapidly aging, before crumbling to dust.

Post Re: The HikiCulture World (Out of Character Chat, Open to Al
Name: Jester
Age: unknown
Gender: male
Appearance: will post a picture soon
History: after experiencing a beginningless and endless life and not knowing his origins, he wanders around aimlessly looking for something to end his boredom. Every once in a while he finds some motivation (due to temporary insanity) to look for adventure, but he often becomes quite destructive.
Personality: When sane: lethargic, hopeless, negative... when insane: destructive, violent, warmongering, cynical, amoral, whimsical
Abilties: generates a black aura of a finite area in which he can manipulate matter (i.e. move particles to create objects if there is raw material around or to move objects/people), his aura allows his cells to regenerate quickly so he doesn't die, but it drains the energy of matter nearby so he is unable to be anywhere or near anything for long without damaging it.

hope that's ok...

Mathew "Middy"

20

Clearly Male

5'11, tanned, with short black hair. Wears glasses, and is blind without them. Wears casual clothing and rarely picks his clothing with much thought.

Sailed to HikiCulture via the Internal Network Sea on his tiny scouting ship. Was around when some of the staff had been picked. Prides himself on being an older resident.

Friendly, but a bit of an oddball joker. Can become irritable and brash.

Abilities:

SUPPORT! - With SUPPORT!, Middy can help bolster the abilities of any team mates he might be with.

Game Mechanics - With Middy, life is just like one big video game. Game Mechanics allows various situations to play out in a video game. Fights are styled after beat 'em ups. Outside of combat, everything plays like an RPG, with any items bolstering some stats with either permanent growth or a boost for a short period of time. No Cheat Codes, God Mode, or Infinite Lives available as per the rules of HikiCulture.

If I'm gone for a year, assume that I am dead.

Post Re: The HikiCulture World (Out of Character Chat, Open to Al
Name: Vincent Maltese, though he also chose for himself the name of "Dream"
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Appearance: Using as base my avatar (Shinji Ikari): He has slightly longer and much messier Hair, slightly taller and of an unimposing and agile build. Dark circles paints his eyelids, not mattering wether he had sleep or not. His natural thinness, occasional imsomnia and lack of muscles, combined with the strengh and protuberance of his bones, made him, specially his face, look as that of a corpse. Yet, there was just something in his dark brown eyes that draws your intrigue to him, mesmerizing... definitively not good, of course, something dark and deep that disturbs you... but you still can't avoid wondering about that specter. He is dressed like this:
Image


History: He doesn't recall how he discovered HC, nor how much he saw of it the first time, all he recalls is he saw it. It was just long and monotonous months later he returned and came for the first time. Like many things in his life, he doesn't really know why he's here, he has a good idea, but he's not sure. He doesn't hate his parents, but neither really loves them, he feels a bit of distance from them, not due to hate or similar feelings, but just due to an indifference, to unresonating feelings and ideas. You could apply that for everyone in his life. As a kid he already realized he wasn't like other people, that he was a traveler. While others were in what he considered fruitless and pointless activities and struggles (yet they seemed happy while pursuing them) he became aware of the pointlessness of existence, and directed his will and spirit to the only thing he felt brought joy and meaning to his life: Art, Philosophy, and understanding "it", try to ascend from his base humanity, even though he doubts he will ever do that (or even such goal being even attainable)

Personality: Usually very friendly to people, and also quite snarky and knowledgeable, slightly aproaching a level of a smart-ass. Even though if the situation or someone insults, threathen or wrongs him or someone he cares about (even more the latter) he can be an extremely brutal, violent and sadistical person, more often than not he is a delicate artist and philosopher moved by the violence and meaninglessness of the world. Even though he acts as an extremely cynical and indifferent erudite, traveler and adventurer, deep down there is a very idealist young kid who longs to transcend from the physical world to a higher stage of existence, but more than anything, he longs to change himself, for he knows that the real change and transcendence comes from his inside, a matter of "guts" if you will.

Abilities: By will, he can "switch on" in his brain something akin to photographic memory, in which he can record with perfection the impulses of all his senses, feelings and thoughs, which mostly he uses for his artistic and philosophical objectives. such storage is not infinite, and after a while he has to let certain memories be lost, art being possibly the only evidence those events ever ocurred. Also by will, he also can separate different aspects of himself to be a momentary alternate personality, whom he can interact with, thus he is never "truly" alone, and who has its own thoughs and desires relating to that aspect of him, only he can see them and they can't affect the outside world, and while sometimes the personalities pop up without him willing too, he never loses control of them or himself in that aspect.

Just a few questions:

Are there some norms about interacting with fellow characters?

I don't exactly know how Role-playings go, but i'll surely be interesting! lol
