If you participated in the old game(s) you may take up your old character if you like. The Idea: This is an RP that begins with all the characters as normal humans. Throughout the RP each character will evolve into something more. The evolution process is a long one and will take time, so be patient. Some characters will learn powers such as levitation, telekinesis, clairvoyance, extra limbs, extensions of limbs, etc. As if all this wasn't crazy enough, Meri- creator of the thread- will not be participating in this game. Just observing and ruling with an iron fist as much as allowed by that observation. So, go forth, free form! She'll keep up with all the levels for ya, though! *winkwinknudgenudge*

Rules: 1. You're in the guild. Literacy isn't expected, it's required. 2. Romance. Obviously, it's allowed. Just don't get the guild in trouble. 3. Follow the Gaia ToS 4. Your character is basically accepted as soon as you send it, but give me a few hours grace just to be sure. Don't post until I accept your character or twelve hours have passed. 5. Be respectful to other players. 6. No killing people unless the other character allows it. 7. Profiles get PMed. End of story.

Introduction: On the world of Efraen there are many who would deny those transcending humanity their right to evolve. In the struggle for survival, will you play as a human undergoing metamorphosis, gaining strengths and weaknesses as you progress, or will you play as a normal human, hunting down those who have exceeded your own level of humanity. Whether it be for greed, power, ambition, or envy, most humans have decided to mount an assault on all the transcendents. Some humans have decided to find the secret to metamorphosis and others may worship the transcendents as gods. What is your place in the world? About the Transcendent genealogy: Transcendents are a strange group of people, much like the mutants in X-Men. If you know what I'm talking about, you'll know that Transcendants can be born from both human and Transcendant parents. It is possible for occurences to happen where someone will be born from two transcendant parents, but not be one themselves, or be born from two humans and become a transcendent. There is, at the moment, no explanation to why this occurs, and this causes hysteria in all cultures.

World Map. [ X] The world map is mostly for reference. The setting for the game is in Yithaia, largest city of Efraen with well over 2,000,000 lives and an insane amount of diversity. This will suffice as a map of Yithain until I can find or make a better one.  Red means Residential Area Dark green means a School Light green represents a park. The blue area marks a lake. Light blue represents shopping districts. Resturants and the such. Black represents buisness districts. Sky scrapers and the such should be expected. Grey lines represent roads.

How to get your extra abilities (IE: Leveling up) You'll need to be active in order to gain experience. Experience works this way. 20 TXP can be gained by simply posting lengthly, but good, posts. Extra expierience depends on word count. Going by this equation: W/50. W = Words in post. Lets say you have 40 words in a post. You'll get no TXP. If you have 45, then you'll get away with 1 TXP. 90 will get you 1 TXP, and this pattern will continue infinitely, as long as quality remains high. You can also get a free 10 TXP by being active; posting 3 posts for that week of decent quality. ------- Levels work this way. You will start off about level 1 with one basic skill. When you advance to level 2, you're basic skill will advance to one advanced skill, as you receive another basic skill. Once you hit level 3, your Advanced skill will become a mastered skill, your basic will become an advanced, and you will receive yet another basic. This pattern will continue on to an infinite degree. Each level is 50 TXP higher than the level before it. Level progress: This is where TXP becomes useful. Level 1: Gained by merit. Level 2: Gained by having 50 TXP. Level 3: Gained by having 100 TXP. Level 4: Gained by having 150 TXP. Level 5: Gained by having 200 TXP. Etc... Etc... Etc...

FAQs
When I first started out in Metamorphosis, you'd better believe I was confused about some things. As questions are sent to me, I'll be answering them here. Where can I find a word counter for my post?: If you type your post in MSWord or an equivalent, one is available under the tool bar. If not: XDo I need to post a word count and TXP gained at the bottom of my posts? Yes, you neeed to post a word count. If you post TXP gained, you get extra luff. Remember, TXP in each post is: 20 + (Words/50) Illicit Romance So I looked at my TXP, and I'm at 99...
How exactly do I select a new ability?
Should I PM you, or post it, or...What?
xP
If I'm not the only one confused, it could be the first Q&A question.
O: PMing is fine, so is posting, I just need to be informed. Actually, posting might be better so that the others know about it as well...
