[color=662d91][h1]ArcRift[/h1][/color]

[hr]

Hello and welcome to [b]ArcRift![/b] We're a new Multifandom RP with an equal focus on sandbox as well as linear story! This is achieved by using both the IC and OOC threads as RP thread - with one focusing on the sandbox, and the other focusing on the linear plot. You can participate in one, the other, or both! The choice is yours! These threads will converge at multiple points, as well as have lasting affects on each other! Because of this fact, it is necessary to join our Discord for OOC Updates and chatter. Also, your Character sheets will be posted in the Characters tab, as this OOC tab will be reserved for the Sandbox RP going forward. And yes, the Sandbox RP will have quests to tie everything together - but interaction is encouraged!

So, let's talk mechanics! 

In both RPs, characters will be handed these nifty little items called [b]Stop-N-Watches![/b] These will allow you to swap out your characters between threads with one of your own - or someone else's - at any point in the RP! However, in the event that the latter case happens, both players must consent before doing so. ICly, your characters will know how these are one way or the other.  Sandbox it's up to you (don't get meta gamey with it), but in the linear thread it'll be explained to them.

Each Arc will ideally last anywhere from one month to a few months total, should no unexpected irl circumstances occur. Sign-Ups will be open for One Week following the release of the Main Story thread, and after that they'll be closed until the next Arc rolls around. 

Anywho, without further ado...

[h1][color=aba000]The Watchful Eyes[/color][/h1]

[h2][b][u]Main Story[/u][/b][/h2]
You awake in what seems to be a massive office space. It's pretty fancy - and filled to the brim with trinkets and expensive furniture alike. A bright and clear sunny sky could be seen from the large window in front of you. Said sun happened to be shining into the room itself, right down towards a bald man, who sat at a large desk across from you.

[color=39b54a][b]"Greetings. I am Lex Luthor. You don't know it yet, but you've been brought here for a reason."

"The reason being? I require your aid."[/b][/color]

[h2][b][u]Sandbox[/u][/b][/h2]

You will be allowed [b]two[/b] different starting locations for this first Arc!

[hider=Gotham City]
[img]http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/14500000/Gotham-City-dc-comics-14582714-432-449.jpg[/img]

Gotham City. The city with the largest crime rate in the world. It's always dark and bleak here - and for good reason. One of the first things you heard upon waking up was gunfire. Or maybe it was manic laughter behind an alleyway's corner? Whatever it was - you knew immediately that this was a hellhole.
[/hider]

[hider=Metropolis]
[img]https://tvline.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/metropolis-series-warner-bros-dc.jpg?w=620&h=440&crop=1[/img]

Metropolis is the mirror of Gotham City in just about every way. It's always bright and sunny, and crime is a rarity here. Makes sense for the town known most for being Superman's home turf! If you want something more bright and cheerful, then this is the place for you!
[/hider]

You may start out at these locations wherever you'd like. Wanna say that your character just woke up on the streets of Gotham? Go ahead! Wanna instead say that you've been here for a few months, and are now a freelance reporter for the Daily Planet? Go for it! The world is your oyster - and as long as you don't go overboard (or play NPCs without permission from someone on Council), then you can go wild! Just keep in mind that [b]all[/b] characters woke up with the Stop-n-Watches already attached to their wrists. And if they just woke up, then they wouldn't know what they are or how they work. If your character's been here a while, however, then they're allowed to know. Just don't get too meta-gamey with it.

Now for the sheets! Make sure to post these in the [b]character[/b] tab!

Face Claim/Appearance: Say click! Take a pic!

Name: Self-explanatory.

Age: Also self-explanatory.

Gender: C'mon, Professor Oak's waiting.

Canon: Where are you from?

Main Thread or Sandbox: Where will your character be?

Starting Location (SANDBOX ONLY): Where is your character starting out? Please name a specific location and the city. If you have trouble with this, feel free to ask staff in the Discord - or if you're not in our Discord yet, shoot me a DM on here and I'll give you an invite. Also please state whether your character just woke up here, or if they've been here for any amount of time. Make sure to specify the amount of time as well!

Personality: What are you, really? Fatal flaws and saving graces are recommended.

Equipment: Hey, you're watching "Gear Up", the worst show on television!

Attributes: Abilities and powers (if you have any), plus any advantages and disadvantages, go here.

Biography: What was your life up to this point?

Other: Miscellaneous info about you goes here!

You are limited to [b]five[/b] characters each. Three in the sandbox, two in the Main RP. Have fun!
