yes....by the way check out warriors of myth. It's on hiatus at the moment or just plain stalled in the middle of the road but it's an alright story so far.

I know we're swamped with these already, but I had a dream a bit ago that I'm planning to turn into a book if it doesn't end up being a preexisting thing that I've never heard of...it's happened before. I'm turning it into an Rp for now to flesh it out a bit and to make sure I don't forget about it.

Basically it goes along the lines of this. There are two dimensions in this world, the moral realm, and the spirit realm. The mortal Realm is what you see around you on an every day basis, and the spirit realm is the domain of gods spirits, and creatures of imagination, as well as hundreds of pieces from other worlds and possibilities. The denizens of this world, use to be able to bridge the gap inbetween and come to this one creating the legends we know of today. The spirit world itself, is much lalrger than the earth that we know of, as various peices interconnect with other dimensions and previous pieces of history. Making it appear like a patwork quilt of dreams.

   Normally Humans are only able to access said spirit world in brief glimpses during their dreams,but there are a few humans who have creatures from that world in their distant bloodline, and are able to cross over into the spirit world during a self induced episode similiar to a mini seizur. During which the world seems to lunge and change color for a split second before you appear in the spirit world. The siezure, is a side affect of your spirit blood awakening, after crossing over you take on the characteristics of one of your distant spirit ancestors varying in intensity per individual.

   Each person has a spirit weapon, most of which manifests itself upon entry into the spirit world. Most take on the appearance of a sword, and take on special characteristics and abilities per individual. The weapons are capable of basic defense attack as well, and in some cases longrange fighting. The spirit weapons themselves can be altered and upgraded through the process of attatching memories. Memories are artifacts of the spirit world which hold segments of emotion, memory, and sometimes spirits. Of these are incredibly powerful.almost mythical even in their world, "Holy Memories" Whcih hold untold power and abilities. Currently I'm considering each PC having at least one of these to begin with.

   In this dimension there are those called hunters, who are those who seek the aforementioned Holy memories. These are considered incredibly powerful spirits, and are often considered mercenaries, taking jobs for hire. Even though most of them are splitters, a changable term for those who have spirit bloodline.

   Recently the borders of the spirit and mortal realm have begun to weaken for unknown reasons, and people who previously had no Idea that they had a creature ancestry are being thrust to and from the spirit world periodically, in nightmarish jaunts. In addition there have been an outbreak of coma's spreading throughout the world, that seem to have no medical explanation.

   What do you think?

Several questions...

The memories, what do they look like? Ever seen Kindgom hearts, imagine them as small trinkets, about the size of the palm of your hand, that appear in differents shapes, said memories lock into segmented sections of your spirit weapon.

Could there be like a memory for fear? Yes, in fact a memory of what is what changes there attributes.

What are some possible creature ancestries? Basically imagine any mix of mythical creatures you can think of One of the people from the dream I had, was I think a mix of Yuki Onna, and Kitsune for some reason. Another guy I think had some ogre in him. And I think at the time the one I hovered around the most was some mix of fae or Daemon.



Could I use a Khopesh as a spirit weapon? Yes.

Ah, so that's what one of those are, I didn't know there name, I needed that for a book. Originally no, but eventually yes. Think along the lines of basic swords, but after you acquire a memory you can have your sword morph into it, unless you want to use your starter memory to turn it into one.
Wow. It works.

We are in a spirit world of some kind.

Our characters are semi-mythical humans who've been dropped in the spirit plane.

Or something.

Thank you. This is the one that needs to be re explained. then.

The world of spirits and dreams is a connected reality to the human world which is composed of all of the memories and dreams of the human world. Some of the more powerful memories take physical form and can be attatched to a spirit weapon as a bangle that raises it's power.

Humans with mythos in their ancestry can pass ovver to the spirit world, the irst time it happens it's similiar to experiencing a seizure. Once their their mythos ancestry slighlty overpowers their human ancestry and they become slightly hybridized.

Some hunt  memories, some bounty hunt, some simply live in the spirit world. Beneath all of this a plot is developing to open up a portal to the center of the dream world and steal the most powerful memory, the creation of the human world.

Why'd you give it to Marv though?

What's the weirdest mythical being I can be.

...

Eww. Not that.

...

Maybe.. that?...

Nah..

Randomization has got me three.

Deer Woman, Camelopard or Hyperborean.

It's Marv, not Marve (I'll keep pointing this out)

I may as well, try making a new character anyways.
