Project dIsToRt.

"We need.....to distort the perceptions of our soldiers. Their guilt, their anxieties...their humanity. We must strip it all away. They cannot see the foe as 'human'...only as 'monsters.' If we do this, then we will never lose another war." ~First General Gregori Raschand

This is a role play to test the mettles of insanity. It involves a horrific government conspiracy by the name of Project dIsToRt. Several mental patients are chosen to be experimented on--to have their perceptions altered so that they can kill without mercy. However, the experiments fail and wind up causing the severity of their mental disorders to increase drastically. That combined with bioengineering that grants them special powers makes them a threat, so they are thrown back into the asylum for the rest of their lives.

Supposedly.

Join the mental patients on their daring quest to escape the asylum and see the world! The setting is Earth in the year 2045. However, the mental patients will be adventuring in the hallucinated world of Terra Fantasmia. Many obstacles will stand in their way, including the most important: what is real and what is fake? Will they kill civilians and destroy cities, or will they be able to overcome the disorders that plague them in order to stop who is behind the experiments once and for all? Only time will tell. Let's just hope things don't get...dIsToRted...

Yes. I go into much further detail in the first post of the actual role play, but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested. However, one thing to keep in mind is DO NOT SAY YOU'RE INTERESTED AND JOIN THE ROLE PLAY IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO POST IN IT. It's just a waste of my time and a waste of your time. I know Cerani is in it to win it, so if anyone else believes they have the dedication, then okay. But I swear I won't hesitate to kick someone from this role play for sheer laziness.

Hmmm... very interesting. I'm in.

Sweetness. ^.^ I was expecting that Windy might be interested, but he may be very busy with his roleplays already . . .

You know what? I'm gonna set the cap right here. It'll be just me, Cerani, Zaneko, and Xeno. Sound good?

Rosetta? XD But that sounds fine to me.

I meant Xeno!! >.<

It'll take me a while to get the first post. I'll just put the character sheets here and you can go ahead and make your characters while I finish mine up. There's some new stuff, so pay attention:

Code:


[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b] No spoilers this time.

[b]Mental Illness:[/b] Choose a real psychological illness for your character to be afflicted with.  No two characters should have the same illness.  My character already has Multiple Personality Disorder.  Your chosen illness will determine what abilities your character will have innately.

[b]Bio:[/b] Just a short bio about how the character's illness was discovered, how they coped with it, and how they ended up in the mental asylum.  Add anything else you want; that's just the bare minimum.

[b]Distorted Name:[/b] This will be the name your character takes on when the group's hallucination of Terra Fantasmia begins.  It's optional.  If you like your characters real name, then feel free to keep it.
[b]Level:[/b] 1
[b]Next Level:[/b] 0/10
[b]Distorted Appearance:[/b] How your character looks when everyone starts hallucinating.  Once again, it can be the same as your other pic (though I implore you to choose something different), but if you do use the pic from the appearance above, don't post it again.  Just say something like: "See Appearance."

[b]Profession:[/b] Same as in other role plays, except this would be what your character THINKS he/she is in the hallucination.

[b]Weapon:[/b]
[b]Armor:[/b]
[b]Accessory:[/b]

[b]Technique:[/b] The summation of the skills the character learns.  For example, Valincar's Otherwordly Artes.

[b]+Skill 1:[/b]

[b]+Skill 2:[/b]

[b]Commands:[/b] Items - Allows character to use items; Relent - Used when faced with a civilian in battle; Guard - Allows character to guard for one turn which cuts all damage taken by 50%.

[b]Feedback Skill:[/b] None.

[b]Support Skill:[/b] An abnormal skill used solely for supporting the user.  Must be passive (cannot be activated manually.)

[b]Execution:[/b] A move to end all moves.  You should know what to do here.

[b][u]Stats:[/u][/b]

[b]HP:[/b]
[b]MP:[/b]
[b]SP:[/b] Sanity Points - This is a measure of how severely the character is sucked into the delusion.  Sanity Points decrease constantly throughout the battle.  When SP reaches below 0, the character becomes unable to use the Relent command, should a Reality Check occur.
[b]Atk:[/b]
[b]Def:[/b]
[b]Int:[/b]
[b]Spr:[/b]
[b]Movement:[/b] 2 cells

[b]Skill Points:[/b] 0


If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. :3

Yeah. That's fine. So, we've got:

Me - Multiple Personality

Xeno - OCD

Also, I need everyone to add Evasion under the SPR stat.

I think Rachel's is something like Dissociative Psychosis . . . or delusional . . . something close to that, I can't remember exactly, but I will when I can finish her profile.

Okay. Here's my profile for anyone who would like an example:

Name: Cynthia Leone
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Appearance:

Mental Illness: Multiple Personality Disorder

Bio: From a very young age, Cynthia exhibited traits of her mental disorder. The psychologists determined it wasn't too severe and advised her parents to let her try to live a normal life. That proved impossible. At school, she was teased, for she talked to herself often. At home, her parents were troubled because her other personality was mischievous and often told her to do naughty things. At the end of their rope and with heavy hearts, Cynthia's parents were forced to admit her to The Institute, an ominous asylum on the outskirts of town. After that, she lived in peace until the experiments that would lead her to her new adventure.

I'll be making the Character Profile thread soon. It's next on my to do list.

^.^ That's cool. Oh, and I know what Rachel's disorder is: Permanent Delusional Disorder. She's stuck in her own reality.

That's a real disorder, right? You can't just make it up. XD

Delusional Disorder is real, but for her it's permanent. I have an explanation, don't worry.

All right. Everything's ready, so all I need are profiles. Though, we probably won't get started until tomorrow.
