Aimless: Scorched Earth [SG]
« on: October 12, 2014, 05:14:20 am »

The Well of Souls is where all new spirits are born; beings of potential formed from the many energies constantly shifting throughout space.
Here also resides the gateway connecting the wondrous realm of the divine and the scattered spheres of mortal galaxies, each possessing worlds of different setting. Each soul is to pass through the gateway for incarnation, becoming one of the many mortal newborns of the various races of the universe.

It is and has always been this way.




Unfortunately, it is also an established fact that the only object eternal in the universe is change.

You gain consciousness for the very first time, exposing your eyes to your surroundings. Floating in a sea of a strange, shimmering sand-like substance, you take in all these new and odd sights and feelings.

What do you do next?

[X]Inspect self.
You note that the texture of your "skin" seems to be made of the same material as the “sand” you are currently drifting in, albeit thicker and more translucent. Your form also seems to be constantly moving in tune with your thoughts, growing an arm and hand (lacking any detail, curiously enough) to study before sinking back into your body mass.

Trait gained: Slightly Inquisitive

[Roll=7]

Your attention is called away from yourself as you hear faint voices from outside the sand.

Relax, no need to let this potential stuff be a hassle, let yourself disperse a little.

You wanna frisk this guy? This guy with the technicolor wonder limbs? The limbs that could probably slap you on several different levels of reality?
Your tabs are just pure chaos, Wolfkit.

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!

+1. Perhaps our thoughts will also be able to affect it.

[Roll=19]
The "sand" your hand collides with swirls around slightly as you try to affect it using your thoughts. Its strong warmth feels familiar; with a start you realize that the warmth seems to be weakly emanating from your own body as well.

Ability gained: Weak Energy Sensing

[Roll=5]
A loud, gruff voice cuts through the previous whisperings. You still can't exactly make out what it's saying, however.

Name self: Wairua
Wairua, you repeat to yourself within the confines of your mind. Yes, it does sound nice, but you aren't sure if this name is the right one for you. Does it suit your brand of unique individuality? Are you sure you even are an individual? You ponder over these thoughts as the gruff voice grows more angry and insistent...

Trait gained discovered: Indecisive

Detect where the most energy is. Swirl at it.

[Roll=4]
You can't really detect the amount of energy besides "a lot" and "a little". All you can seem to be able to do is to sense where the energy is and where it would be coming from. At the moment, you can tell that the sea of energy that you are floating in is "a lot", and the energy from within yourself is "a little". Your ability is currently rather weak.

Suddenly, something unpleasantly cold and metallic skewers the back of your head. With a tug and an audible 'pop', you are yanked out of the sea of energy and placed face to face with a visibly furious old man with a scruffy beard and wearing simple robes. Behind him, a crowd of creatures looking similar to yourself stare warily at you.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU WAITING FOR? ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF?" he yells as his eyes seem to glow red with rage.

How do you reply?
