Cloaked Mystery

@highscribeofaetherium

Vlydia isn’t doing anything, but she’s also not the type to strike up a conversation.

Rina

As a black, masked thing came towards her, Rina dropped through a portal. Her gravity switched as she came out, but her momentum carried her on, feet-first towards the demon’s back.

“Nice try, sucker!” she shouted.

@whalekeeper

I love Rina XD She’s so energetic and funny.

Thanks! She’s one of my favorites too, which is surprising considering that I invented her on a complete whim.

Her powers perfectly complement that.

People who use that power are called Jumpers, which definitely suits her!

Rina

“Hmm… this is getting interesting,” said Rina as a boy turned into a giant snake and slithered towards the creepy black thing inside.

Rina dropped through a portal and landed in the room behind it. Another portal opened and her sword leapt into her hand. She pointed it at the demon’s back an…[Read more]

@rae

Maybe I wasn’t clear. It isn’t a bad thing that it’s simple. It’s that you spend so much time at the beginning setting things up, which seems overly complicated compared to your central idea. Sorry if that was confusing.

@rae

Really interesting! Would this be the entire plot of the short story? The biggest problem I see is that the plot is quite simple, but it takes quite a long time to set it up. Have you considered using this in a full length book? I think it could make a very interesting character backstory. Otherwise, I’m sure you could make a good short s…[Read more]

Rina

“Or I could just unlock it like this,” Rina generated a blue crystal knife on her hand and slashed through the latch.

“Wait, why do you want to get in there?” she said suspiciously.

@thelittlejupitertion

Mistborn would probably be the best place to start with Sanderson (at least of the Cosmere books, which are the only ones I’ve read. The Cosmere is the shared universe in which many of his books take place.) You could also do Elantris, which is his first book, but that one isn’t as good in my opinion. Really you can sta…[Read more]

Welcome to KP! I’m Jonas, more enigmatically known as Cloaked Mystery. I write mostly in the fantasy genre, but usually with hard rules that verge on sci-fi. I like creating magic systems, usually hard ones, but I have a few soft-ish ones. My current project, which I am working on with my sister, @highscribeofaetherium, is a l…[Read more]

Rina

As she glared sulkily around the room, Rina noticed a group of people leaving the room and perked up.

Since nothing was happening, Rina portaled after them. She saw them investigating a creepy looking building.

That doesn’t seem very smart.

Rina stepped forward through a portal and popped o…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Alright then, Rina will join them! Typing RP…

@loopylin

Ah, okay.

@rae @keilah-h

Tech was watching the other group right? That means they’re in the same room, which means that they also only have one way out, (assuming Twitch is right.)

@everyone

I’ve already showed everyone my Árvendin conlang, but I have a few updates I could share. For quick reference, I’ll put my alphabet here.

I’ve been meticulously deciding how to indicate each letter is latinized characters. There’s still some overlap between letters, but I think most of the possible confusions have been cleared…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Cool! Did you create all the rules of this language before you created any words? I have found that it can be a bit annoying to have to fit all the words I have into the language, but it’s also nice to have some as a starting point.

@savannah_grace2009

What exactly do you mean? If you’re saying you want to go back to how it was at the beginning, I’m sure we could do that as well, although not everyone would necessarily want to participate in both. We’re going to create a new thread once we decide what we’re going to do, so you could use this one for what you origina…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium @thearcaneaxiom

Hmm… this sure didn’t go far. Let’s revive it!

@everyone

So it sounds like there’s a general consensus that restarting/replacing the RP is the best option.

So, brainstorming phase. What did you like about this RP? What did you dislike? What made the RP go smoothly and what made it drag? What worked? What didn’t?

@thearcaneaxiom

It is ambitious, but I’m prepared to not have an easy time with this one. This is by far my oldest WIP, and I don’t expect to finish it any time soon. I’m at least writing the Ildin Saga first.
