Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

Go To

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!

    Original post 

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.

I suppose this is a “forum”? I’ve heard about them from the Pulsar.

Pretty sure it is. In fact I’m definitely sure it’s a forum unless we got moved to a different thread.

Who is this new text that has shown up?

   Oh, them? They’re just the Challenger. I gave a human some of my power a while back and that was the result. Mind you, it was one from an alternate universe. Spacetime here let me do that for “reasons I’m not allowed to explain”.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naomi_icon_62642189_2.png Nuclear fusion? Whoa... Now that's an old term I haven't heard in a while.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bridget_icon_575490809_9.png Indeed. That was what powered our ancestor's ships across space. I heard rumors that back on Earth, just as the Grand Expedition mission was about to begin, nuclear fusion was on its way to becoming the dominant power source. Sigh... If only I can see their progress now, since it has been thousands of years since then.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naomi_icon_62642189_2.png Heh... If only they could see our mana-powered tech. I bet their eyes would be popping out of their heads in disbelief right now. Also, mana cores are powerful GPUs. They can even allow our smartphones to display projections of people for real-time calls, similar to how they work in Doll terminals.

Huh... So that's how a pre-mana core digital game looks. I underestimated the processing power on display. Interesting.

Well, now is as good of a time to reintroduce myself as any. Cameron-Paine Spade, Jumper for The Nexus Archives. But please, call me Cam. If you haven’t heard of my organization, I don’t blame you. It’s not exactly a secret, but your average citizen of the multiverse wouldn’t have seen us. We’re one of a group of multiverse spanning organizations, dedicated to cataloguing as much data as possible about the multiverse. We have an unfathomable amount of data, but given the nature of the multiverse, we won’t ever be “finished”. As for me, my job is to do the initial steps to getting a new universe catalogued. That includes going there, ascertaining if it’s dangerous, and, if not, spending some time there, logging every detail. It’s just a cursory investigation, but it’s definitely helpful.

[up] Well, welcome. My name’s Phosphophyllite, or Phos.

We’re technically living Gems, so my universe is quite a weird one.

You apparently have lots of data of many universes. So have you cataloged my universe? If so, what do you think about it?

OOC: Look here if you need any info about Phos’s universe. Note that due to some things that happened here in this forum, there may be deviations from canon here…

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/narnia_icon_76472949.png Ufufufu. Welcome to Florentia, Mr. Cam. You're free to do as you wish. Just don't break anything, ok?

By the way, Icarus, in case you're interested, here are Florentia's planetary statistics to help with easier landings, just in case you're unsure how to approach it. Well, these are what humans came up with, because if I were to present them in our common tongue, it would be too archaic for even you to understand, so I hope this will suffice.

  • Names: Ars Goetia d / Aria 3 / Florentia (official)
  • Diameter: 12,684 km
  • Mass: 0.98883
  • Density: 5.54 g/cm3
  • Surface Gravity: 1.0002 g
  • Semimajor Axis: 1.0032 AU / 150,076,584 km
  • Orbital Period: 365.14965 days
  • Rotation Period: 24 hours, 6 minutes, 50 seconds
  • Axial Tilt: 21.48 degrees
  • Average Surface Temperature: 16 degrees Celsius
  • Atmospheric Pressure: 1.03 atm / 1.05 bar
  • Moons: 1 (Formerly 2, if the rings are any indication.)
  • Earth Similarity Index: 0.99 (A near-perfect match! Incredible!)

[1] I believe I vaguely remember you? Anyways, glad to have you on board - my name's Icarus, and the organization which I work for, Exotic Ventures, has a similar secondary goal to your primary goal.
We visit universes for one or two years at a time, and we try our best to teach its inhabitants how to lead a sustainable economy, access a good life quality and do scientific research, among other things. Besides that, we catalogue universes - but probably on a much shallower level than your organization. We currently have entries for 13,313 different universes, about 60% of which is simply denoted as "inaccessible" due to our troubles with accessing said universes. What does the Nexus Archives database look like, and is it public?

[2] Fyi, I think KitKat already knows a decent bit about what happened here. He's not new here

[3] I don't have any immediate plans to land on Florentia, but thanks for the data! I'll have that saved somewhere.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

[up]x8 The full Archive is only available to us and our sister organizations. However, a version that is heavily redacted and slightly out of date (because of the time it takes to do the redactions) is available. I’d have to check the exact number, but the full list, including those universes that are inaccessible or too dangerous, is likely in the millions. We’ve been around for a long time. Not me specifically, of course, but TNA as a whole.

Welcome, Herr Spade, I don't believe we've met before. Let me introduce myself: I am Prince Tarvek Sturmvoraus, the (exiled) Prince of Sturmhalten. My companion here is Gilgamesh Wulfenbach.

You can call me "Gil," by the way.

It seems you've been here before, yes? Did you leave last year or something?

It's very refreshing for a new user here to bother introducing themselves first.
So, it sounds like you catalogue universes? I wonder if you know anything about where we are from; though if you did, I wouldn't know what you called our world.

[up]x6 Well, I’m not going to be the one doing it. That will probably be the Archivists’ jobs. Putting differently formatted data into our standard notation and code is their entire job. But thank you. I’ll DM you the link to the data. It’s sorted by alphabetical sections. If the Archivists are competent, it should be pretty easy to navigate.

[up]x5 Nice to meet you. Let’s see… assuming you’re relatively well-known within your civilization, someone should have logged the names.

Ah, I’ve got something. Does the word “Spark” mean anything special to you?

Things to note about the database: it’s HUGE. Imagine an organization that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, with millions (and that number is only growing) of personnel, most of them immortal, constantly logging and relogging universes. Another thing to note is that, if one looks closely, most (but not all!) of the list is below approximately a 6 on the established compatibility scale (although this database has a different scale.) One universe, sitting in the N sections, has its own folder, that being Nexus, the headquarters and hub.

Also I am picking which universes TNA has and hasn’t catalogued arbitrarily.
