The world as we know it is a place where the history of the planet and humanity is widely known. Stretching back thousands of years and millions of years. Where the educated and experienced in their respective circles are confident in their knowledge of the known history of the world.

But, for those who try to challenge these experts and suggest information that contradicts, or that there is more to the history of humanity and the planet. They are met with ridicule, and their findings are treated as pseudoscience or pseudoarchaeology. Thinking that they know for sure the history of humanity and anything else is just false information by a uneducated person or a conspiracy theorist.

If you are reading this letter, it means that you are someone who has found something that suggests something that the experts do not agree with, and are now left with nothing but an idea and mockery.

For you see, you are not alone with this, for I am the same, and after years of frustration, I have had enough, and I have founded a group to uncover what the established scholars ignore. Which I have discovered a location that will be the key to uncovering this lost past.

If you seek to prove what you saw, join our group in our goal to uncover what the past has hidden from us. Then I implore you to travel to Crawley, England, come to this address, and bring this letter with you for confirmation that you have been invited.

However, I have to say that if you choose to accept the offer, and help me with this goal. Then you should know that this path is one that, while being rewarded with the truth and discovery. It is one with danger and often involves dealing with the unknown. So if you are still interested despite my warning, then feel free to come, and we can discuss your future within our group.

I hope you will accept and aid us in this task. I look forward to seeing you here and to discovering what the experts dare not to uncover. Signed Arthur Ross.




Hello and welcome to the rp. So this rp, in the modern day of 2026. You will be playing people who have been invited to Arthur Ross's estate in Crawley, England. For your character has, in their own way, seen a glimpse of the lost past and is now eager to prove and discover the pieces of this lost past that others deny. Which I will leave to how your character discovers a small part of this lost past and how they were contracted by Arthur.

Which Arthur's estate will function as the characters' home and base during the rp and will house any artifacts that the group discovers and manages to recover. Said estate, as the characters will discover, has an impressive security system installed for this purpose.

I am looking for a max of four or five players or a minimum of two. Which they can be anything as long as they have discovered something about the lost past, and Arthur has a way of knowing them so he can invite them.

Now, when it comes to the locations that the group will be visiting. The rp will mainly be working with custom myths when dealing with the lost history, as the lost history most of it predates anything that is known about human history, but some have some basis in known history.

Given the nature of the rp, you will be able to make up your myth related to your character and what they discovered to be invited to Arthur's estate. Then, after talking about it with me, if you wish, it will be a location the party will visit and uncover. However, I will only plan it out with you after the first arc to see who sticks with the rp, and I will decide which location to go to after the first arc. Since I do not want to plan an arc only for the player to ditch before or during their arc.

Also, for pictures of your character, just nothing anime.

So that is it, unless I think of something, and if anyone has any questions, then feel free to ask.

@Expendable@Flarbinia@Ravion the Red@Pragia12 The rp is back up and ready to go if you all are still interested.

Thank you.

So this is like the Victorian age, or a steampunk version of it?

Modern like last time. Let me just make that clear in the OOC.

Cue the Indiana Jones Theme

Does anyone have anymore questions so far?

No

Anyone want to discuss character ideas?

Sorry for the late reply, but yes.

Do you have any ideas in that case?

An archeologist on a dig in the desert finds a medallion that predates the Sumerians by three thousand years.

I want to say that can work, but I need some more details. Anything else with the medallion? Or what would cause Arthur to contract your character?

Depicted on the medallion is a multi-eyed deity holdin' a head to the sky with one hand and a battle ax in the other. The medallion also has glyphs that he can't identify.

Okay, your character needs help deciphering the medallion. Though I need to ask this, how is academia denying your medallion or not helping with figuring out what the glyphs mean?

They claimed that medallion was not sufficient proof of a civilization that predates Ancient Sumer and denied him further access to university resources.

Okay, then in that case that idea can work.

In Terry Pratchett's notes for Strata, he mentions various artifacts that have been found and locked away in museums, like a British coin found embedded inside a coal seam. In the start of the story, the main character makes planets, and to create the illusion that this is a natural planet, they will bury dinosaur skeletons to create a fossil record. Only she catches two of her workers trying to bury one holding a sign saying "Stop nuclear testing!" which would spoil the illusion and could cause a culture shock.

Okay, but why say this? You still interested in the rp?

yes, just been busy.

Okay, I assumed you dropped, but good to know you are still around. Still going with that char idea you PM me about?
