This is a thread where, as the title implies, our avatars (from our galleries) are posting in an in-universe forum thread. You can drop in any time with pretty much any character you want, whether from existing works or your own OCs. Though most of it is done through forum posts, some "in-person" interactions between characters is also fine.
Even if this is a more casual RP, there are still some rules and general RP etiquette to keep in mind for everyone to have a good time and feel comfortable:
- NO GODMODDING. Godmodding is when you decide what happens to another player's character, and is generally frowned upon. In particular, avoid injuring and especially killing someone else's character; fighting is ok but let the other player decide if the hit connects. If your plot idea requires something to happen to a different player's character, you'll want to privately discuss this with them and if they're ok with that. This includes in-universe moderation.
- Be nice and respect other players' boundaries. Your character being mean or a jerk is one thing, but if someone gets uncomfortable about your behavior towards their characters, knock it off. Also do not force others into your story arcs; in general it would be a good idea to ask the other person first if they are interested, and plan it together if they are.
- If you have anything to say, ask about, ect. that is not part of the RP, you can put it under a spoiler tag [[spoiler: like this]]
- While almost any character is welcome, please avoid playing any real-life person who's mainly associated with controversies, drama and problematic behavior. We don't need that here.
- Have fun!
Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Yeah, timelines are funny. There's one in which this disabled guy I torture is a murderer. Stole his gun once, but it's absolutely AWESOME to see him shoot people.
"There's no tomorrow here. No hope." // a,,,Try to visualise someone creating a fireball out of thin air, or demonstrating control over an icy mist, for example. That would be magical. It's something in the essence of the world and air around me that allows such feats to be done.
It is I, the narrator, categorising addict and writer of books you haven't read.that so. there's a substance in your world — dispersed in the atmosphere it seems — which can be transmuted into energy or other matter by people with the know-how.
sounds kinda like engineering with less steps. i think i get it better now
Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.I live in a world where some people are born with both incredible genius and mental instability. Mad Scientists, for lack of a better word.
They're also the aristocracy.
Yeah, you can imagine that's not a stable political system. Europe has only had a 20-year break from the constant chaotic war this century. There is currently a massive epidemic of mind-control parasite bugs created by some maniac.
Also, I'm one of these unstable mad-scientist aristocrats.
But it's not all bad! Usually we just create things that are weird but harmless, and in rare cases, we even make something helpful! Example: I worked on a cure to those parasite bugs I mentioned.

gotta admit, sometimes wish i was the one calling the shots — but then i remember Svarog didn't program me to order people around.
my Europe is currently on the stages of recovering after World War III (the "nuked again by humans" bit i mentioned before). at least, that's how it was before i got trapped in this server. they're probably gearing back for war while i wasn't looking
by the way is there a mad scientist who builds giant robots
Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.![]()

Well, I know for a fact that the terrorists have a tank. They might have some mad scientists there, and I'm not unconvinced they're not hiding a killer robot.

What's the difference between the third universe and the second? I mean, the existence of a third does kinda imply the existence of a second.

It is I, the narrator, categorising addict and writer of books you haven't read.
you can start with a global event or describing the general technology level. to me, that's decent way to get a feel of someone else's world.

was responding to the mad scientist guy (Tarvek?), but it's interesting to know you guys have a tank.
to be clear, when we're talking tanks, we mean an armored combat vehicle with tracks and huge gun, right?

sounds great but i can't even get out of this server, never mind travel between universes.
