Shattering Destiny v.2:
The Transformation of a Life Time.
The City of Desire - Flux:
Dare to test your luck? The metropolis that is called Flux is brimming with hopeful citizens. Many try to test their luck and seize the golden opportunities available from this city alone. Many have managed to be quite successful in their lives. Albeit the success were granted through honest or dirty means. The mass array of success stories empowers the citizens with the undying idealism that they can become anything. Anything that you can wish to be, chances are, it will be possible. Yet most of all, gaining power was just simply a common goal for the majority of the living residence. The power they desire could be to help others, the power to strike fear and destruction, the power of controlling the world with their fingertips, or even the power to do what the hell they wanted to do. Flux was a beacon of desire to gather all these unique people into one place.
City Structure:
Flux's structure is separated by three 'district rings': the centre, middle ring, and outer ring.
The central district of Flux is the luxurious and rich area. This is where jobs, opportunities, and all those success stories are found. Many villain wannabes try to invade the place and try to gain riches through brute force, but they were unsuccessful by the tight security placed around the place. Such security made the area the only true safe place in the whole metropolis. Before you get your hopes up, the cost of living in the area is high. People with an average wage can kiss their dreams of living in this district goodbye; the closest they can ever reach is just working. At least you're safe with a good pay... if you are lucky to land a job. This district is often called Eden; it's a haven for opportunity and wealth.
The middle district ring is where majority of the population lives and works. It's a humble area, but it doesn't have that strong protection compared to Eden. Schools and basically everything you expect to be in a city is here. The restaurants are not as high quality as the restaurants in Eden, but they are still delicious and cheaper. The wages may be lower compared to the jobs in Eden, but you still can make a honest living out of it as well. There are plentiful of some villain raids are common here, but not too serious enough to make this district ring unsafe. This place is often called Villa with the locals. Words of advice: don't try to compare yourself to the people in Eden, it will be more better that way. At least you aren't living in the outer district ring... hopefully.
The outer district ring isn't a good place. Dare I say more? Oh, you really want to learn about this hell hole? Alright then. Its very unsafe to stay in, but people can manage. Villains are usually based in this district and are very well hidden, so don't think you can see one that easily. Authorities from Eden try to do some security sweeps once and a while, but they usually end up with nothing. Farmland is available towards the outskirts of the city, but they don't make such a good living. Most of the poor and homeless sadly call this place home, and some have no choice but live the criminal life to survive. The whole layout of the area is confusing and you could probably get lost without any direction. This place is often called Tartarus, for it's maze like layout and how hellish it is down there. You probably can come in and never come out. At least the products here are cheap. Luckily this district is easily avoidable, so you can easily go to the outskirts without risking your life.
The outskirts is field that is soon surrounded by trees and a local mountain range. It's difficult getting out of the city as it is getting in and trying to reach Eden. Nothing is really note-able outside, unless you want to get out and take a small breather with nature.
The Premise:
June 27th, 2030 marks the day of change. That night, there was a normal meteor shower that was quite a nice spectacle for the masses. Until, it started to go a little bit more strange than usual. The 'meteors' that have fallen into earth didn't burn up on the earth's atmosphere, and as it impacted on many areas of Flux. The following impact arose into mass panic throughout Flux. Damage costs of broken buildings and streets was high for the meteors that have landed on Eden, many skyscrapers were damaged but not damaged enough to topple down and create more destruction. On Villa, damage costs were still high, as there was more wide spread around the place and multiple accounts of impacts were more than accounts of Eden and Tartarus combined. Tartarus was left in the dust and it was thought to be a blessing to potentially damage some of the villain hideouts, but farm owners just had the worse experience.
Based on accounts recorded:
-Few landed on Eden [limited amount of characters can be from Eden]
-Many landed on Villa [majority of characters can be from Villa]
-Plenty landed on Tartarus [a fair amount of characters can be from Tartarus]
As the 'meteor shower' ended that day, everyone was in complete shock on what just happened. Curiosity did get the better of some people as they approached the strange objects that fell from the sky. Usually, curiosity would kill the cat, but those brave people reached towards them, and obtained a new power.
These objects that landed were gem-like and they resonate to the holder's desire and grants them power. For simplicity, they are called Runes. They also behold the power to morph into a device that fits the user's desire that can help aid them to transform into super humans. The first account of the usage of these runes was from this strange armoured person who showed how powerful these runes were against the tight security in Eden. Needless to say, there was one bank missing in Eden. News report got out of this man called, Gambit, and the power that is found inside runes. The craze started, and citizens scrambled throughout the whole city; looking around for the runes and causing total chaos. The government finally took action , and stopped the chaos. Through this, they managed to round up runes away from the general public.
In this RP you start are as a practically 'normal' person that is living in city of desire, Flux in one of the three district rings. Your destiny will change as you will soon stumble upon the hidden runes that have yet to be found in the city. Using these powers given to you, the world will soon become your little playground with the other rune wielders. Be aware those, you might fight for the government, the villains, or the greater good of people in general. You will carve your destiny with the hidden potential you posses and you will interact with others.
The story will start a week after the rune shower, and your desire will carve the slab of fate... but you and the others are not the only ones who are looking for the power than has come with these gems.
The Enemies:
Potential enemies in the RP could be cops, villains, heroes, the government, military or other characters depending on what kind of person you are. It's recommended not to walk around transformed since society has yet shunned rune users and authorities are given action to take you down if they find you suspicious enough.
The main enemy in the story will be a power hungry group called "Eclipse." They are in the arms race of gathering the most of the gems and use it for themselves. They will do anything in their way to destroy and rebuild a new world with these powers.
Alliances and Goals:
You may have to team up with other allies and fight for the same common goal. Either if to overthrow the government and eclipse out of the chart and make the world yours, protecting the world with your new powers, or even... destroying all the gems so it could never be used by evil once again. Feel free to do what ever you want, and see what will the story will do to you.

Go back in time and relive your old RP characters
Reverse:
Disclaimer: I heard of this kind of idea, so why not put this on a concept topic? It's going to be difficult to manage though.
Premise:
You wake up in a blank world with many other people. Standing in front of you all, there is a man wearing a white mask.
"Hello! Welcome to Reverse. You can call me the GM. I'm sure I will see you in the lovely city of Iternum! But that is all in due time! Iternum is a very special city as it's place directly where alternate realities of the universe intersect. It's an amazing place, really. There are many different worlds that have been recorded! There was a world with an alternative ancient China; places where magic exists; worlds that have necromancers, vampires, werewolves, dragons; a strange magic school with a dragon tamer; a world where spectral beings called 'personas' exist; and many more! Can you believe that?"
Clearly, this guy is insanely whack.
"If you ever take the time and join the grand event, maybe you can find your alternative self found throughout these alternative worlds! You will be given a special watch-like device where you can be able to summon your alternative self right in front of you! They are also not holograms, but real people, so keep that in mind because you could possible offend them. Don't worry about their dimension though, the world will be in stasis when they are absent so it's like nothing would happen! Once they come back to their world, they will not remember the thing that happen in this place but will remember again once they come back! Also, they can't really die, only enter this sort of temporary comatose, but I would recommend to keep them conscious."
What.
"I'm sure that you will be one of the many lucky people who will be granted the special privilege to be given the chance to find your alternative self and help aid the long term war. The war has been going on for a decade or so, but with the technology today, we will be given the chance to turn the tides with the Catalyst! THE PLOT DEMANDS IT."
Whaat.
"What are the catalyst? Well! They are these humanoid beings made up of "miasma" a type of other wordly energy! They were actually accidentally leaked out from one of the dimensions *cough* that involved a war in a city called Batotia *cough* and they started making this world their own. So I'm partially at fault! But, please just help save this world from being invaded by these catalyst, it's best if we can eliminate these guys for good. I will also be part of your journey, so be nice to me, ya hear?"
You and the other people disappear from that blank world.
