An old man in a heavy-looking gothic robe speaks with a Shhean Connerey-ish accsshent.. "Yeashhh.. The Dragonshtorm bleweth acrosssh the land.."
.
A flashback opens with fog obscuring the sides of your vision, a streak of light illuminating the center and expanding outwards... [AAaaaaahhh ~ aaaaah!] The latin chorus erupts in the background, announcing that something epic is about to take place... [dum.. Dum.. DUM!] The drums build up as you see people in incredibly bulky and impractical armors, decorated like rainbow christmas trees, fight. [uhh-- ah! *grunt*] Sounds of steel clashing and strangely homoerotic grunts permeate the atmosphere.. Scantily clad women in chainmail bikini pose around a bit.. [Aaaahhh ~ Uhm!]
.
"And ssho it hath come to passh.." Your vision zooms back to the elder man.. "I am the lasssht one!" ~
.
After shhpeaking about some seven ancient dragon crystal scrolls, the man turns to you, waves his staff.. "It is up to YOU to desshide the fate of the kingdom!" *TRUMPETS* The main theme plays, backed up by the latin chorus from before. The camera rotates around a bit, showcasing a few castles, some ninjas fighting and explosions.

A dragon flies in, spewing fire everywhere:

.
~ Efflorescence ▼ Macradenous ▼ Adelphogamy ▼ Imbrication ▼ Surreptitious ▼ Tautomerism ▼ Abstemious ~
.
Complicated English words flash across the screen, convincing you beyond the shadow of a doubt that this flick really has artistic meritc and is totally medieval, gothic, dark, gritty and fantastic. The letters are also gilded and still ablaze from the dragon's breath ... Finally, a slightly angry chainmail bikini clad model adorns your sight. You are positively reassured this will be a wondrous experience.

( ̄(エ) ̄) >>> This is awesome bear. He thinks this RP is awesome.
Hmm This seem s Fairly Awesome. What's The Premise Of This RP?
.
.
Heeeey! ^_^ First of all, welcome to my humble RP. I'll be your GM for the time being ~ ! A-and i'll cater to your every wis.. *glare* ... [i know what you're thinking you PERV (¬、¬) ~ and and let's have fun together!
.
Glad you asked about the premise. It's a MMORP [Massively Multiplayer Online RolePlay!]. Now. To clarify a few central points -> this does not mean the RP will contain several Jiggawatts of players (THINK McFLY THINK!), each adventuring on his own like a giant megasandbox. Not quite. It simply means the progression, "gameplay" and various tropes and story elements will resemble that of a MMO. Players will interact with each other and with NPCs just as they would in any other freeform RP. The only notable difference is that the GM will lead you down a series of "questlines" that will determine the final outcome of the plot, and the fate of your characters! Also, you will progress through leveeels (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜 ~ Dont worry about it too much though. We wont be rolling any dice or use complicated number crunching. GM got it all in here! *taps self on head*
.
Oh and just one more thing - there will be a central party of 3-5 people. The MMO element comes in play with the fact that anyone - especially people who aren't in the main party but kinda caught glimpse of the RP and kinda wanna cooperate but not really commit - can, at any time, take on the role of any NPC that is currently in play (ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL). If a certain applicant does this fairly often and performs well, he/she may receive a pRRRROMOTION and become a member of the main cast. There are a few exceptions and quid pro quos here as sometimes, my excellence (the GM, yours truly) will have a plan set up ahead in which case certain NPCs will be locked and unplayable. That or you will have to follow the script *nods* ~

Wow This idea R eally Is Awesome. Got Any Rules / Tips?

━━ ☆ The stars are an important mechanic of this game! All will be explained in due timeeee ☆ ━━

× GM posts will either be "storymode" or will refer to a specific player, which will be marked appropriately. Players are to proceed according to the _:"push" that gm posts provide. Your creative freedom will, however, remain unscathed! I will even take your ideas and such into consideration and
__ communicate with each and every one via the player-specific posts. Hmph. But d-dont get any weird ideas! It's only b-because i want this rp to take
_: off the ground. I-it's not because i'd like you or anything, you.. y-you DUMMIES! (¬、¬)
.
× Powerplay and godmode are generally forbidden, though the bar against NPCs is lowered considerably.
.
× Try to be original with your characters. Dont blatantly export or make uninspired Mary - Sues. That makes GM a sad GM ~ (个_个)
.
× Try to work together ~ ! When you have a dialogue between two characters or the course of action is clearly set, you can make a
_ collaborative post (meaning you and your partner work out the entire dialogue via PM/IM and the post the whole thingie).
.
× Remember that you have a purpose and mission in this RP. And no im afraid it isn't 42 (sowwy ^_^). It is actually to produce as many paperclips a
_ i mean u- umm.. to survive and make it to the end! Meaning your actions should in some meaningful way, be aligned with that given objective! That is not to say
_.they overrule other directives (such as staying in character, having fun, you know. The usual).
.
× ♫ Anyone can diiii ~ e! ♪
.
And yes, sweetie, that includes you and your precious character, too. Your first post expressing your interest must contain the word "strudel". I'm afraid mommy wont always be there to bail you out of a... clear cut suicide. If you try to stop that chaisaw with your bare hands or repeatedly bash the button on the gloomy doomsday device, well then errrr well we call it death by natural selection for a reason, you know! ( ̄^ ̄) A-and dont think you'll get away by writing yourself right back into the story, mister! ~ People DIE when they are killed!
.
× OOC fighting, troll attempts, flame/flamebait are dealth with INSTANT DEATH AND EXPULSION from the RP. RULE ZERO MOTHERFUCKERS? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME? IF GM GONNA HAVE TO STRANGLE A BITCH, GM GONNA DO IT WITH UNWAVERING DETERMINATION! ~
.
× Have fuuu ~ un! (*⌒∇⌒*)ノ

Gee Wiz! How Do I Sign Up For This Totally Awesome RP?
.
Oh shush. Just sign this dusty, black insignia - embellished archaic piece of parchment with your blood (nevermind the small print.. move riiiiight along *glint* ) And we'll be r... ~ Hey! Are you daydreaming again -_-? Hmph. Well just post in this thread and express your interest. And also your favourite drink. You will have to meet a few.. provisional requirements. Nothing special, just some basics... umm let's see now...
.
¤ Casual / Advanced.
¤ Post about once per day or so (Yeah seems tough but any less and this RP would literally take forever to unfold)
¤ Long term involvement is a must! I don't want just some crummy one night stand! ^^ I've hosted RPs in the past that went on for nearly a YEAR! Yaay!
