Roleplaying

Then strange things began to happen. The sky darkened, though there were no clouds in sight. A ferocious wind swept up, though it touched nothing but the city, leaving the forrest undisturbed. Any door still on its hinges opened and shut repeatedly creating a cacophony of noise similar to the disorganized sound of a stampede. Dust and dirt swirled into a tornado that took off for the sky and panned out, stretching and shrinking until it made a distinct, three dimensional figure, unnaturally large, cloaked, and hooded, hidding any feature.

"Ah, little beings, little beings, today it begins. The Game Maker's rule ends, and the Rule Changer reign begins."

The voice that came down at them from the sky was layered with deep, rich and high, shallow tones that made it hard to understand, hard to comprehend. It was otherworldly and seemed to be full of a power.

"When the sun sets your newest companion will find her life cut short. Search well - when the light passes so will your window of opportunity, for she does hold a key."

As oddly and suddenly as it had started, it ended. The sun returned in full, the wind died, and the figure's temporary body fell back to the ground in a large cloud of dust that puffed over the city like a small explosion.

The story takes place in The Game Maker's abandoned city and the surrounding forest, a home given to him by the people he came from in order to keep out of trouble and away from the humans.

Once, the world was torn by war. There were many stories to be told out of it, but one of the most well known was of The Game Maker, an alien, the being said to be responsible for the swaying of nations and the beginnings of the war. The war ended, and the tales fell to sleep, but the quiet wouldn't last.

In the middle of the night children begin to go missing across the planet. They would be simple missing persons cases if not for the black brand singed into the floors beneath their beds, a symbol most commonly associated with The Game Maker. No matter how hard anyone looks the children and teens are no where to be found.

Meanwhile, in the depth of a jungle in a long deserted country The Game Maker, once alone in his decrepit, abandoned city, finds himself visited by suddenly appearing newcomers and new problems. Unbenounced to him, he and his visitors, the missing children, have now become a part of a game that is above him run by people who seek to punish him for his part in the war. Each day poses a new problem, and it's a fight for survival.

No history yet, honestly.

Try to come up with a totally unique character - stereotypes are boring, friends.

You can only kill another character if you have their owner's permission.

No cursing - come up with something else to say.

Don't be that person who takes over another character.

Be happy, have fun - no one likes a bum.

Don't assume anything from time of day to how other characters are going to treat you.

Don't let things that happen in character affect or influence how you treat someone out of character, and please don't use your character as a way to get at another roleplayer. Don't be cheap, darlings.

If you have any questions whether about a character, the setting, anything, send me a message! I love answering questions, and I love coming up with answers for ones I haven't thought about before, so don't be afraid to hit me up!

Also, guys, huge thing - please, please, please don't be afraid to write a huge, 500 word post if you need to detailing your character's time at home before ending up in the Creator's City, or telling us about your character's morning routine, or whatever. If you want to post something huge that's going to take some time to write, just say so in the OOC chat.

In addition to that last bit, if someone does hit up the OOC chat saying they're writing something huge, wait until they've posted to post anything yourself. There are exceptions, but just ask if you super want to post something while someone else is coming up with their mega post.

If you want to be a character that's kind of vague (e.g. Post Apocalyptic Being, Other, etc.) either shoot me a message specifying what kind of being/other you're thinking, and I'll let you know if it rather fits.

Breaking the rules can end up in being expelled (kicked out, or whatever you want to call it) from the roleplay depending on the offence.

Also, please always check the OOC chat before making a post, just in case something's up. If more than two people are online and are all roleplaying at the same time you can call dibs on posting next if you feel your post needs to be read after the one last written.
