The Everwar. Such a short name for a conflict so large it stretches beyond the horizon in both directions. In this battle, countless numbers of fighters clash. No one knows how this war began, but people are constantly dumped into the War by portals in a random open area inside the battlezone. There is no boundries to who or what is dropped in. But there is always an exact counter to everyone or everything dropped at the same time. No one is the 'most powerful' here.
In this nameless world, the land is relatively flat. Pockmarked across it, however, rock forms spike upwards into the sky. These spires are the only places that seem to be defensible, to set up some sort of base camp for small bands of fighters that team up in order to survive. Ownership of these changes constantly, the longest held in anyone's memory being only two days by a contingent of soldiers wearing the same armor...They perished to dragon's breath. Onlookers will recall later that the soldiers reacted as if they knew the creature, calling it by a name lost to everyone's mind.
It is here, that YOU are dumped. How long will you last in the Everwar.
Welcome, to the testing grounds for that Mary Sue or Larry Stu. Have an idea for an OP character, but no one lets you in because of it, despite all the weaknesses you give your character? Here, you may drop them into a place of constant strife, and create your own battles with faceless combatants. While very little is off limits, I don't want gods or anyone invincible. The major point I want to drive here is that this RP is here to help temper your characters. test their RP style and refine their powers and weaknesses. This world is unknown to everyone. No one knows any more than anyone else about it. All that can be learned can be seen in the first post you make. If I feel it prudent, I can and will throw a curveball at your character. This can be anything, depending on the situation. Also, if your character is killed, they aren't gone. They are simply pulled back in via a portal, alive and well once more. I don't want to see people killing other player characters without consent, but DO NOT be afraid to HAVE your characters die. There is no eternal death here.
Also, banding together is entirely up to you. Either IC or OOC. Don't be afraid to ask others to either team up or fight against IC. It's a war. People are expected to fight. There won't be much of a story arc here, so don't expect an end to the war. Lulls in combat might happen, if you wish to have engaging storytime with others. I suggest doing this in the shadow of one of the spires. I do not intend to throw any detailed character of my own in, since I will be busy no doubt helping others with their own, or settling conflicts. I will not restrict powers. But Be aware that if you do attempt to godmod other players without their consent. I will godmod your character's death by their 'counter', and possibly moved to a new area of the battlefield upon re-entry.
Rules:
1: The only restriction to character creation are no gods or invincibility. Somehow they must be able to get hurt, and must be able to die.
2: any conflicts in OOC will go through me. Do not bicker amongst yourselves, or you will find your character yanked through a portal back to wherever they came from and removed from this RP.
3:Remember, this is a testing ground first, RP ground second. There is no intention of an overall story arc. You are free to make stories between each other, however, and it's encouraged, interact with others!
4: Create your own faceless combatants, or ask that I write them up for you. Be patient if you ask me to do so, I might be busy writing up for others.
5: No cussing at all here. See rule 2 for consequence. Censor your character's speech if you feel it appropriate for them to cuss.
5A: Sexual interaction, please go to PM. See rule 2 for consequence of public sexual acts.
6: I reserve the right to create more rules as time goes on.
7: Have fun with it. Go crazy with creation. It's a testing ground for a reason. =3
