[FONT="Book Antiqua"][COLOR="DarkRed"]Victor Thomas was a normal boy. He tried to stress this to his parents every day, despite their continued accusations of his video game obsession. As far as he was concerned, he played them just as often as anyone else his age and didn't have any problems at all, thank you very much. Besides, he had other hobbies, like martial arts training, girls, hanging out with his friends, girls, movies and girls. And movies with girls.

Of course, even he couldn't deny that he was having some downright weird dreams. They started out simple enough, Vic would aid some video game characters in saving the world. Usually they were just based off the plots of the actual game, but they started to become increasingly complex, complete with their own plotlines. Then came the day.

All Vic could remember was falling asleep the evening before. He thought he had woken up, but he decided it must have been a dream. Suddenly, a voice called out to him.

"Warrior of the dormant power, heed my call!"

Vic tried to answer, but found that his mouth seemed to have vanished. Indeed, his entire body was gone. Only his consciousness remained on this strange, pitch-black plane.

"Heed my call! Our world is in grave danger! You must unite with the others of the dormant power! Seek the Heroes of Worlds!"

Gradually, Vic's presence in the mysterious nonmaterial realm began to fade. "I guess it's time to wake up," he thought to himself.

"...don't need him! I can destroy and create matter!"

"Idiot! You don't even know if Fonic Artes work in this world! He's their only hope!"

"Who the hell are you calling an idiot, dual-blader?"

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

Vic slowly opened his eyes. "If one sword is 100, then two swords are 200, right?"

"HA!" laughed the red-headed man standing beside Vic's bed, "And you call me stupid, Lloyd! Even this guy knows about your style!"

"Wait," muttered the other man, presumably Lloyd, "How did you know about that?"

"I know you," replied Vic dazedly, "I know you both. You're Lloyd Irving, you're the great hero who united the worlds!"

Lloyd nodded slowly.

"And you," continued Vic, turning to the red-haired man, "You're Luke fon Fabre! You can cause seventh fonon hyperresonance alone!"

"I suppose I can," gloated Luke.

"Alright, that's enough! What the hell is a fonon, anyway? I don't understand a thing your wordy friend told me, Luke!" demanded Lloyd.

"'Wordy,' am I?"

A third figure appeared in the doorway. This one was another man. Tall and somewhat imposing, with long, blonde hair. He wore an impressive official-looking uniform and glasses with square lenses that barely obscured his crimson irises.

"Hello, there. You're awake, I see. I am-"

"Jade Curtiss," Vic nodded in recognition.

"-It's rude to interrupt, but yes. That is my name," replied Jade, "You are?"

"Vic," replied Vic, "Vic Thomas. What am I doing here?"

"One of our comrades found you unconscious in the woods. I assume you were sent here by the spirit of this world's World Tree. As for your unprecedented knowledge of ourselves and our histories, I suppose that our respective stories have reached your world in some form of media or another."

"Yeah, you guys are from video games."

"I have no idea what that is, but I suppose I should be grateful to be so well-known. I'll make this short, then. I don't know what it is, but there is something about you, Vic. You have been chosen from among billions of being from your homeland and many others to aid this world in its darkest hour. We do not yet know what is threatening it. Will you help us?"

Vic beamed from ear to ear. "Yes, sir!"

"Good," smirked Jade, "We'd best be off to find the others, then."[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]An RPG based on the "Tales" game series. This one is set in a crossover world. Characters from the games will probably appear. I'll try to make it as newbie-friendly as possible though. Each new character from one of the games will get a brief bio in the backstage thread. Signups should include an entire background story leading into the main. This one will have a backstage thread, and I plan to make heavy use of it to draw out the storyline. I want this RPG to be as good as possible, so everyone participating to be on the same page as much as possible. This includes me. PM me if there are any questions.

Here's the sheet:

Name: First and last.
Age: Could be just about anything, into the thousands. more on that later.
Home World: Where your character originally came from. If you want, you can use Earth or just make something up.
Class: Anything. Just pick a skill and name it. So long as you can come up with a plausible explanation for why it works in battle, at least.
Species: Name whatever sentient life form you are. Elf, Alien, Human, hybrid, whatever.
Appearance: Picture or description.

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Announcement: There has been a total revamp and a name change to this RP. I actually kind of ended up totally hating the first draft, so now it's totally different. Check the first post for the new plot.

Signups, please include a small story detailing your character's daily life and a bit of their personality as well as how they arrived in the realm.[/FONT]
