Fifth Earth

Hello everyone,

In three days, July 1st, I will be launching a new RP universe. I'm looking for my first wave of writers to join at or around launch. This RP universe is on a separate site because it is too expansive.

The setting takes place on a distant planet far into the future. The RP begins many years after humans have inhabited the planet. Aside from one completely unique indigenous race, all the other native life on this planet resemble fairy tale creatures such as elves, dragons, wizards, and fairies. Combining these natives with the technologically advanced humans creates a world where you can go on sci-fi like adventures AND fantasy style adventures.

So, to participate in this RP, all you have to do is join the site, create a character, and start creating stories. Just like on this site, you gather up a party and create your own RP. The difference with "Fifth Earth" is that when you are done with your RP, the events of your RP can go on to affect the plot movement of the entire site. To standardize this, all stories must start at or after the first of the month IRL and end before that month's end. Each IRL month equals a quarter of a year in the RP world. You can let your stories end at the end of the month OR do a time skip and start a sequel.

I've already introduced some conflicts that can be used as writing prompts for your RPs, but the collective imagination of everyone involved will drive the plot forward. I am simply creating a madhouse for writers and seeing where it will go from there. Also, I am leaving it up to volunteers to create the backstories to each area. There are 20 total areas and only 3 have backstories so far. So if you feel like writing a story that will forever be a part of this site's lore, feel free!

Here is a link to the site: Fifth Earth

Thank you all! Hope to see you there!

Sincerely

Strange World

@rechonq@Invader Len@Classpet@Airalin

I recently went back and re-read some of Classpet's posts from the beginning. It's such a great story she's written. I saw some things that I forgot about, things that made Camilla deeper as a character. So I went back and read the begging posts of everyone, including mine own.

What I found is that we aren't just creating a wonderful story together. We are creating five unique stories that can almost be read separately. They are each awesome in their own right, but tying them together is amazing!

Thanks again for being a part of this story everyone!

Strange World

The little girl name Camilla tagged his arm and ran off into the darkness.

'Shit!' Ricardo thought to himself. "What's she thinking?" This second thought escaped his lips rather loudly as he began to chase after her. Slowly, he began closing in on her footsteps. His longer legs and love for soccer made this an easy task. Light started shining from the end of the tunnel, and at the tunnels edge stood Camilla. He slowed his pace gradually until he stood by her side.

At first he wanted to scold her for running off so carelessly, but the sight below was too overwhelming. How could an entire city like this exist underground? It was beautiful but eerie at the same time. The lights and music were jolly, but there seemed to be lava flowing around between the buildings. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something was terribly wrong.

Ricardo didn't even notice Grey's presence until he spoke up, talking about the city below.

"No, I've never seen anything like this." Looking down at the steep slope below, Ricardo could only agree, "Yeah, very carefully." With this he sat down at the edge of the tunnel. His feet found a couple rocks. As he started shifting his wieght onto the rocks, he looked back into the tunnel. He wondered if he should wait on the other two... Andy and Abby.

Ricardo should have been concentrating more. The rocks beneath his feet gave way. He found himself sliding down the hill on his back. It would almost have been an exciting experience if the occasional jagged rock didn't rip up his back side. Compared to the hall of fire though, it wasn't that bad.

Now at the bottom, Ricardo sat as still as he could till the pain went away, which was surprisingly fast. Standing up, he looked up the side of the slope and yelled out, "Yeah, very VERY carefully!" On the bright side, he knocked most of the rocks loose on the way down. If anyone slid down the same way he did, it probably wouldn't be as bad.

@Classpet - I love your latest post!

@Invader Len - Sounds good!

Keep it up everyone. :)

Strange World

How is it going guys and gals?

@Invader Len
But how is he going to respond to loud music? There will be plenty of that in this next location.

Alright everyone! I've posted some plot moving content! Make sure you check out the new content in the original OOC post under "The Plot" > "The Begining" > "Chapter 2"

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks guys and gals!

Strange World

Once everyone was through, they started to make introductions. Ricardo understood the reasoning for introductions, but he was perplexed by everyone's ability to chat so leisurely, or write so leisurely in the case of the boy named Andy. Pushing this thought aside, he waited for everyone to say their name before saying his own, "And I'm Ricardo." He tried to smile as he introduced himself, but his smile seemed to be broken, and his words came out very quietly.

Indifferently, he decided to turn his attention to the door ahead. It was obviously the way out of this nightmare, but 'would it lead to anything better?', he wondered. Taking a deep sigh, he walked straight to the door and opened it. He took one step through but kept his hand out to hold the door open.

Looking back at the others, only one thought came to his mind, and it immediately escaped his lips, "Here we go." Again, his voice was soft, soft and emotionless. As soon as the first person would reach the door, he planned on letting go and moving forward. He wasn't going to be a doorman and let everyone else go before him. He didn't think that classic chivalry would apply, considering what might lie ahead.

Quest Completion!

The Casino Trials (END)

Congratulations! At the end of "The Casino Trials" quest, you should have found the last doorway. By exiting this doorway you will officially have completed the quest. Every post following will resume being worth one experience point. Enjoy this new area at your own risk!

Description:

Through the doorway lies a long dark tunnel that descends further downward into the mountain. After many twists and turns, you will start to see light coming from the end of the tunnel. Standing at the edge of the tunnel, your character will be perched high above a vast clearing with an expansive city below. One is able to walk straight down this side of the cave, but be careful; the slope is steep.

(Read the new section of the original OOC post entitled, "Chapter 2", for more information on the wild cave city below.)
