[I]We have entered the heat death.  

All you have left are black holes and dying stars for civilization.

The stellar era is the deep past, the eons of time unimaginable.  The universe from your perspective is a deeply ancient place, being such a vast span of time since it is claimed to have begun in the annals of ancient mythologies of the era of stars.

There was at one point, a small group of galaxies which spanned civilizations which spanned entire galactic clusters.  We do not know or ever will know, which galaxies those were.

And it isn't relevant.

For we exist in the era of degeneracy.

We are minds vast in scale- yet helpless in ability.

We try to die.  Our systems do not let us.

Our dreams consist of endless simulations, of endless loops.  It does not end.

Perpetual termination, that is what the secret desire is.

The ultimate goal of this final game is not to win- it is to lose faster than the enemy.

The enemy of whom, shall live forever.

[h3][b] The Objective [/b][/h3]

The general objective, as stated above is to die faster than the others.  You are to create a powerful immortal entity that has survived to the ends of time, kept alive by sub systems for eons upon eons as the stars died out and even white dwarves whimper to ash.  The universe now is made less from celestial bodies and more the artificial constructions that are a part of these beings at the end of time- indeed there is unending warfare in these last eons to take what remains of the skeletons eating each other for bone marrow.  

The ongoing objective is to find a way to get other players to kill you so that you may finally be free of this universe and its constrictions.  

[h3][b] Some advice on writing from the perspective of immortal beings [/b][/h3]

The perspective here may be hard initially, as we humans only live decades and consider that a large span of time when it is infinitesimal to the beings here.  If you are a guardian of some pet society, that pet society has done everything they could ever possibly do for eons on end from said guardian's perspective.  To get some perspective on how vast the timescales are here imagine that said ant farm had been running for basically forever.

For that guardian, anyone in its ant farm has had someone exactly like them some trillions of years ago, the guardian would have seen their story millions of times over if not billions or even trillions based on their time dilation.  The spans of time are simply that vast.  It is to the point where FTL is not a thing, as a few light years is nothing when you can experience millennia as if it were seconds. 

Imagining this may be hard, so you don't have to play from the perspective of such beings.  Just there is nothing here that demands you are Cthulhu.  You can be some average Joe kinda guy being kept alive forever.  It could be some endless punishment imposed.  

However, the following things should be true of whatever nation you make:

[list]
[*] There is some immortal entity that has self awareness who is given a bio.
[*] There are systems in place to keep said entity from enjoying the release of death.
[*] Said entity has a motive to want to commit suicide.
[/list]

[h3][b] Miscellaneous [/b][/h3]

While there might be beings who insist to live to the end of the universe, let us assume the region of the universe we are in lacked such beings as ultimately this NRP has the goal of not being the last one alive.

Players who already suicided successfully may take on skeletal roles as members or sub systems of the remaining player's societies if they want to.  I haven't implemented apps for this as this situation has not arisen yet.

History-wise, it is very ambiguous as anything from our time is utterly irrelevant.  It is why I don't demand you be some alien creature (when not a human) as I may in a more traditional space opera RP as one could be extreme-distant future descendants of our species as easily as one could be some eldritch things in regards to the form.

[u]The Being(s)[/u] 
[The being itself.  Any information, physical, capabilities and otherwise.  You can give them a history, but it isn't needed.  It is at most a mythology this distant into the future.  Feel free to be creative about this as the only real constraints are that it has to be immortal and not something that can easily kill itself.]

[u]Its Systems 
[/u]
[The systems in place to keep this thing from killing itself.  Be it some lesser societies built on it, dumb AIs or some other set of protocols meant to keep the being from killing itself.  Your tech, including military tech would go here.  Be warned- any tech you grant yourself will be used to make it harder to kill yourself.]
