You are a rift-runner [@6slyboy6] unless you don't want to be. I had to call our gaming group something, and figured I would kind of keep the feel something imaginative and fun.

Those questions, I believe, are for you to decide for yourself.

Right now just build a general frame of a character concept you wouldn't mind playing for an adventure or two. We are going to plug it into the real world just because the real world is something I hope we can all relate to.

My understanding was that we were 'rift runners' for the sake of having an overall story arc and the same character archetype (if we want to) in various settings that range all over the place from fantasy to scifi to modern. It's more a loose framework than a coherent storyline.
