[/cell][cell]In Magnanimous, it's all about the Vanburen family. An illustrious family that is set in Araminta, Pennslyvania. The Vanburens were lead by their patriarch, James Vanburen, who various different children from past relations and adopted orphans and street rats out of the kindness of his heart. He was known as the world's greatest man; he was venerated by many as the kindest, self-sacrificing, generous man in the world - doing anything for his home city of Araminta. And then he died due to mysterious circumstances on Christmas day. However, a year after his death, a curse activated that would turn his children (by blood or not) into stone if they left Araminta. So now his children have to put aside their differences and solve the curse. However, James was not as great as he seemed to be as his many crimes, sins and past mistakes come back to haunt the family. It's up to them to set things right.
[/cell][/row][/table]This story will be an urban-fantasy story that will cast a certain light on "magic" while leaving it ambiguous whether or not it's truly magic or not. The storyline will have elements of superpowers, urban fantasy, horror, and more. The primary thematic of this RP will be [b]Idols[/b] or [b]Magnanmity[/b]. The Vanburen family idolized James for his kindness, but they'll quickly find out that he wasn't that perfect. Tension will rise as they try to come to terms with the problems he left for the family. The secondary theme will be [b]Secrets[/b] as every member of the family has their own secrets they've been hiding from each other - which will also have to be faced. Above all else it's thematic will be [b]Connection[/b], [b]Emotion[/b], and [b]Memories[/b].


[h1][color=black] RULES & NOTES [/color][/h1][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup]
[hider][table][row][/row][row][cell][b]1.[/b] First and foremost I reserve the right to reject anyone from the RP and boot them out at any time. I hate to do this and I will [i]try[/i] to avoid it but sometimes some people are too disruptive to the RP or aren't a good fit and have to be removed.

[b]2.[/b] Please try to be respectful towards all other players.

[b]3.[/b] The Recollections Universe is a dark off-urban fantasy set in the real world, so it'll be relatively realistic. This means I want all characters to make sense, have a realistic (or real) faceclaim, etc. You can pretty much go crazy with any type of character of mostly any sexuality, gender, race, religion, etc, etc. Just stray away from sociopaths/psychopaths.

[b]4.[/b] The tone of the RP will be fairly dark and brooding... not like super gritty or edgy ([s]only a little[/s]). It'll have plenty of dark moments and probably some pretty graphic moments. However, it'll be offset by the absurdist humor inherent to the setting.

[b]5.[/b] Please no "wip" sheets on the OOC. Post a complete sheet or don't post anything at all. If you need something looked over, feel free to private message me. Speaking of which, the character tab is for accepted characters only.

[b]6.[/b] Keep in mind that your character can totally die. If they make the wrong move it can result in their death and I will not jeopardize the story to save them.

[b]7.[/b] You're allowed to have as many characters as you can handle... just don't go [i]too[/i] crazy. I'd like to keep it about three characters max per person, but if you got a real good idea I'll allow more.

[b]8.[/b] Keep in mind that this RP isn't quite a regular superpower RP ([s]even though you'll ignore this[/s]). It's honestly a weird blend of like thirty different genres but that's beside the point. I want the abilities in this setting to be more grounded in magic, the fantastical, and the thematic over everything. I like abilities that [i]reflect[/i] the user in some way, but I'd appreciate seeing how you interpret it. I would prefer if you stray away from scientific abilities like gravity/magnetism manipulation, but I will allow it if you insist.

[b]9.[/b] I intend for most of the cast to be James' children and relatives, either by blood or adoption. However, if you can provide a valid reason for an outsider to be apart of the story then I will allow it. I just want a majority of the cast to be his children.

[b]10.[/b] I only describe the essential lore for making a character. That is because I like doing stuff from top-to-bottom, meaning I like to explore the supernatural world in-character. If you want any details about the lore for making a character please let me know.

[b]11.[/b] The following abilities are banned: Power Replication/Negation,  "instant death" powers, reality-warping, anything with "Omni" attached to it, and complete defense/indestructibility.

[b]12.[/b] This is optional, but I can write a power for your character. It'll be a fun little thing for both of us.

[b]13.[/b] Also, don't fill out the weaknesses/limits section of the character sheet. I'll fill that out for you!

[b]14.[/b] This RP will strictly be "first come, first serve." Meaning I will not reserve any powers/character roles/etc, and they will go to whoever finishes their character sheet first. If there's a conflict over it, I will decide the outcome.

[b]15.[/b] All I ask for is one post a week. If it's been a week since your last post, your character will be placed into the inactive section until they are written off (mostly by death). Please be aware that once your character is inactive they can be killed off. 

[b]16.[/b] The RP is set in late 2015, but it runs off of Ambiguous Time Period. Basically meaning the rp will have aspects from different time periods so it'd be ambiguous.

[b]17.[/b] There are the rules that are so beaten into your head that it should be obvious.[/cell][/row][/table]
