[h3][color=39b54a]They've finally done it...[/color][/h3]

The mages of Chaosera have finally made a stable portal to another plane of existence. This vast new world is full of unknown lands, creatures, and resources, and all the kingdoms of the world have their eyes set on it. At first this lead to political tension, but then Chaosera agreed to share their portal with any kingdom willing to contribute to its power source. It seemed like a good deal, however, the energy it takes to sustain that portal is enormous; after a year of gathering resources, the combined kingdoms of the world obtained enough energy to keep the portal open for three minutes. 

The first time the mages opened the portal, they used one minute of that energy. They conducted preliminary investigations, and ultimately determined that people could survive there. They described an open field and sunset skies, but the information was just enough to tease public interest. Then they made the announcement...

[h3][color=0072bc]WANTED:[/color][/h3]

A team of brave adventurers to step through the portal. We welcome people from all contributing nations to sign up for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Spend one year in this new world and be handsomely rewarded upon your return. We require naturalists, cartographers, alchemists, and any who believe they have something to offer the party. Spaces are limited, and only those deemed the most useful will be sent through. Once there, we require as much information about the realm as possible. Experiment, gather resources, and [i]NAME WHATEVER YOU DISCOVER![/i] So, if you're looking to carve yourself a place in history, apply today!

And that's the gist of it. You will be playing one of the brave explorers who steps through the portal. Your mission is simply to make yourselves useful to your kingdom, but beyond that, it's up to you! This will be part survival, part adventure, and part slice of life, since a large part of it will be characters interacting with one another. Yes, there will be danger. Lots of it. However, I don't want to divulge any details just yet. 

As for character restrictions, make them human-ish. Elves, sure. Wolf people, [i]maybe[/i]. Angels, undead beings, and sentient slimes... not for this RP. Magic is allowed, but should be very limited. We can talk about the details if you're interested. Also, keep in mind that your character should bring useful skills to the group, so some random vagabond off the street probably isn't gonna get a ticket. 

If you join this RP, please be active. Post once every couple of days, and if you can't, please let me know so we're not stuck waiting for you.
