Well hello there. Sorry this page is a bit blank but I'm going to be putting together an RP here. It might take about a week or two to finish so Ill be updating this as I go. The reason why I'm not just working on it in a .docx is because eventually Id like some feed back possibly before I finish. Cheers and here's to hoping people like it!

Onto the Mythological, Philosophical, and Scientificological (yes I made that word up) Underpinnings of this Role Play!
Now, you don't have to read all of this if you don't want to. Though, if you're adventurous and fervid, then by all means, it's there for you to read! However, if you're as lazy as I am, skip to the section that reads 'I was lazy and did read any of that'.
The Second Big Bang
Looking back, I think it all started around the year 2020. The world looked quite similar to yours (yes, reader, yours). Science had advanced to the point where we could blow up the world a thousand times and save it a thousand times. Now don't get me wrong, we did have the technology to save the world a thousand times, we just didn't care to make those technologies... but I digress. Flying cars still weren't a thing but we did get hover boards, which were pretty cool. War was getting less and less commonplace, though, we feared if a war did break out, it would be the last. But most importantly, nearly everyone had ceased believing in anything that science couldn't prove. Ghosts, magic, even love and God, were all cast aside for things like chemistry and physics. Subjectivity was becoming a dirty word and imagination was for children only.
And so, by the year 2050, novels were no longer science fiction but just science. Any kind of abstract art was replaced with photo realism. The world cinema became synonymous with documentary film. Interestingly enough, most people were okay with this. Anything else, to them, was a waste of time. Why waste time on fiction, something that wasn't real, when you could be learning about something that actually happened while receiving the same amount of entertainment? Hell, neuropsychology was on the verge of understanding the brain to such fine detail as to be able to control every action we made. Love? That was but the release and reuptake of specific chemicals in the brain. Our lives became norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and more.
Though, there were a small few who fought against this. They ironically took the name of 'Drones', to show what we would become if we kept down the path we were taking. They were an underground group that originally only hoarded subjective material before it was destroyed (not that anyone was particularly destroying them. They simply didn't care to keep them around and thus carelessly discarded them, which, in turn, damaged them or lost them entirely). The Holy Bible, The Starry Night, The Picture of Dorian Gray. But soon, they began adopting 'subjective' ideas. They began believing in an afterlife, ghosts, god, magic, and love. Many believed that the Drones took up these beliefs just to spite the rest of the world. Regardless, after they began this trend, they quickly became a farce. It was one thing to attempt to preserve artifacts that were important to history; it was another to believe in ghosts and magic! Ridiculous.
And now, from where you sit, you're probably thinking the Drones are the good guys, the underdogs that were fighting for the things you still know and love, against the ridicule of the majority. Well, black and white quickly became gray when the Drones finally found the truth. The drones had somehow found that some of those things actually existed, particularly magic. It's still unknown if the Drones had a goal in mind or if they were just going through every magic spell they could find. Finding spells were rare enough, and none of them ever worked, so they acted out every one they could get their hands on, in hopes of finding one that was true. Well, they couldn't have found a more unfortunate incantation. You see, it was a summoning spell. By reiterating a specific text, one could summon a being from another world. How did it work? Not that many knew, but I, the omniscient narrator, can fill you in. In essence, it bent time and space. It bent time and space so much that it could collide with another universe. Once there, the target need only take a step and, [b]pop[/p] it was in the universe of the caster. However, the spell canceled out the gravitational effects that should accompany such a wild bending of time and space.
Now, magic, being the finicky thing that it is, needs to be done in very specific ways. Ways that the Drones knew nothing of. And so, the spell was not cast properly, but cast it was. For one, the bend in time and space had no kind of limit. It bent until it reached another universe, and kept bending. It bent through layers upon layers of universes. Hundreds, thousands, millions. Even worse, the spell’s effect to cancel gravity, yeah, that didn't happen at all.
And so, instead of pulling a creature to their universe, the Drones, along with millions of other beings (as the spell only allowed the travel of living organisms) from millions of other universes, were pulled into the vortex that they created. Finally, when they reached the bottom of this monster that they had created, they were cast into an unknown world.
