Planeswalkers. Though their power and influence have decreased greatly in recent years, they continue to be among the most dominant forces in the Multiverse. The knowledge and abilities of these mages are enough to alter the fates of entire Planes, be it for good or ill. And where Planeswalkers gather, the fate of the Multiverse is decided. As time flows, more threats to the stability of the Multiverse and all of those that live in it appear and strengthen. The all-consuming Eldrazi, the corruption of Phyrexia, and the Tyrant of Worlds, Nicol Bolas. All of these are threats too great for a single Planeswalker to face. That said, the potential for Planeswalkers to join forces and overcome them still exists. Enter the Infinite Consortium. Originally an organization dedicated to interplanar trade and goods procurement, founded by Bolas himself. In these troubling times, it has been repurposed into a coalition of Planeswalkers dedicated to protecting and preserving the Multiverse from forces that would do it harm. This is where you come in: as a relatively new Planeswalker, you have been invited to join the Infinite Consortium, and save the Multiverse as you know it. --- Okay, so, Planeswalker adventures, who's up for them? Pretty simple stuff, we all roll up OC Planeswalkers, and then go on Multiversal adventures. As far as characters go, I'm feeling a core of four parts to the character creation process: Home plane, race, class and colors. Pretty simple stuff, honestly. Pick your plane (for example, Alara), a race found on that Plane (ex: Sphinx), the class you'd like to give that character (think of the creature types in the game, so for this instance, Artificer), and then up to three colors that you want them to work in (ex: Blue, Black, White). I'm going to be really open with character concepts, as long as they reasonably adhere to known canon (for example, no undead Planeswalkers), or whatever you conceive on your own isn't totally nonsensical (White/Red Demon Shaman from an all-water Plane). I would also ask to refrain from Planeswalkers closely aligned to the "big three" villains that I mentioned in the IC blurb for story reasons. I'm considering asking for five or so "signature spells" in the form of actual cards from the game that would serve to give an idea of your character's magic style. Thoughts, questions, ideas, etc?

This looks interesting. Is it actually based off of something? You say OC Planeswalker

This is an RP derived from the trading card game Magic the Gathering, which has a long history as a game and deep lore associated with it. I'm welcome to anyone joining the RP, but some concepts (such as pre-established settings and characters, and gameplay elements: colors and spells) may be difficult to understand without any preliminary knowledge of the game.

im in Green White Black is my deck style GOTTA GROW THEM CREEPS AND STOP ALL RESISTANCE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA in other new's i am hyped for this

I've got a Red White Green character in mind.

Cool stuff, guys. Feel free to shoot any details or other ideas my way. Also, how do you feel about the "signature spells" I was talking about?

I love the idea, it's something I've meant to implement. Will we have a mana system or some other way of controlling when we can do spells of varying power? Also, here's the basic premise of the character: Human from Ravnica. Grew up in a Gruul clan, but converted later in life to Boros(picking up his third color). He's wild, but with a sense of justice and an instinct to protect. He is distanced from the Gruul by his willingness to protect the weak, but also from the Boros by his distaste for strict discipline. I have not yet decided how his spark ignites.

I think i might just make a black undead kinda guy :P Grixis for the win!

I'll basically leave mana at player discretion, or maybe do a D&D 4E sort of thing, where you have unlimited cast spells, once per encounter spells, and once per day spells. Character sounds good. Perhaps his spark ignited as part of a revenge attack by the Gruul, or something along those lines?

As long as you're aware that the undead cannot actually be Planeswalkers. The conditions for being born with and keeping a spark require one to have been born, be alive, have a soul, and be sapient.

That i do know, but being a Necromancer is pretty fun.

Roger that, necromancy is A-OK. Just as long as you know you have to work in a group, so be ridiculously evil probably won't turn out especially well.

Hi, yes, I'm interested, Abzan colors for the win and all, also, um, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Garruk in the M15 release undead and that's how he picked up black? Yeah, besides that, I'm all for this and excited.

I'm thinking someone who is not necessarily evil just someone who fights fire with fire.

Nah, Garuuk was just cursed.

As Gisk said, Garruk was cursed by the Chain Veil, which was slowly turning him into a demon. This is the same thing that happened to Ob Nixilis. However, with the events of DotP 2k15, he's had a hedron shoved in his chest, which has halted the advance of the curse. Now he's just an asshole. Anyway, similar colors are fine, as long as your characters are different enough. Please try to keep color philosophy in mind when deciding your character's race, background and personality.

I was thinking along the lines of Convoke and Creature Spawn.
