In the early 21st century, mankind has long since comfortably settled into the position of being the supreme species on Earth. Armed with a knowledge of science and a handle on technology, there are practically no corners of the world left where the human race has not spread its civilization. Regardless of where one is in the world, the general idea is much the same. Even in times of war, famine, pestilence, and the like...a basic truth remains. Humans are in control. All other species have been subjugated, impressed into labor, or simply rendered extinct. The spoil of the Earth and all of its resources are that of the human race to manipulate, utilize, and control. The various peoples split into various nations, divide up the land as they see fit, and exchange diplomatic relationships and make decisions for the fate of the Earth. People go to work...eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner...watch television or listen to the radio...play video games...surf the Internet...and if there is anything ever of concern, it is something that exists only in the sphere of influence of what humans know, and understand...something that, with their growing knowledge of science, seems to be everything. As more and more becomes known, the human race becomes more secure...calmer...believing that they have a good handle on all things about them and that there are no true secrets or mysteries of the world left...

"However...there is another world...

"In the realm of Alterra, fantastic beasts roam the land. Various nations and peoples are separated not by flawed notions of 'race', but by species. The world is both bright and dazzling as well as dark and ominous...fresh and pleasant as well as old and dangerous...filled with the delights of the heavens and the worst terrors of the underworld. A realm as tempestuous as the sea, as wild as a free mare, and as old as the deserts and mountains. A world where magic reigns and dominion is contested between the wise and the clever. A world back in time and yet ageless...simple and yet incredibly complex.

"Most of all...however...is the fact that this world is not nearly so far as one would think. Unknown to most of the people of the races that hold sway over both worlds, only a single barrier, as ancient as civilization itself and maintained by an order that has existed since time immemorial, stands in the breach between the two...creating a balance and order between the two realms...ensuring that both remain intact by doing so and sparing both the chaos that would unfold if ever the two were to merge...like a cosmic dam protecting all the lands of the earth from a ferocious, all-encompassing sea...

"This is a story...of what happens when that dam 'leaks'..."

Welcome to the RP! This is a modern/fantasy RP taking place in a version of the modern world. Essentially, the world is set in modern day Earth with most people in the world going about their daily lives as they do normally. However, unknown to almost everyone, there is "another world" directly connected and in cohabitation with ours, the realm of Alterra, where fantasy and magic reign supreme. The only thing that keeps the two worlds separate from one another is an ancient magic creating a powerful time/space barrier between the two, maintained by the ancient "Keepers of Twilight", an order of magic-using individuals who police the barrier between worlds and make sure nothing transitions between the two.

Unfortunately for them (but fortunately for this RP), the barrier gets breaches in it from time to time. This allows individuals to accidentally wander between worlds...as well as enables more malevolent entities to try and escape to exert their will upon the unsuspecting members of the other world. As a result, the Keepers of Twilight find themselves constantly busy rounding up criminals and evil forces from both worlds...and those who were unfortunate enough to cross the barrier by mistake find themselves constantly on the run as fugitives of the order.

So which are you? An unsuspecting human who wandered through a portal by mistake? A devoted member of the Keepers of Twilight dedicated to preserving the order? Or one of the countless sentient species running around through the realm of Alterra, devoted to good, evil, or neutrality? You decide.

I'm trying to keep this as open as possible, leaving room for pretty much any fantasy creature you can think of. The more intriguing and fantastic, the better! Also, keep in mind, this is in modern times. While magical items can find their way to Earth, perhaps it would also be fun for modern items/weapons/etc. to find their way to Alterra.


(This is an RP that I had joined before, but had died, and I wanted to bring it back to life. I am a noob, so I will need help GMing, so any one who is interested please put your 2 cents bellow)

This seems interesting. I remember heading an RP based on Paranormal Combat for a whole month or season. Perhaps I can assist in GMing and in the fun.

For this RP they basically make sure the rules are followed, and make sure apps are done correctly is GM is not present.
