Welcome one and all to our untitled improv RP! In this RP we will accept characters of all kinds. Feudal samurai warlord? ACCEPTED! Futuristic sci-fi super-soldier? ACCEPTED! Just a normal guy running a shoe store? ACCEPTED! You can literally be any kind of character you want. The story will be whatever the players make it. No fixed plot to follow, and no expansive lore to read about before jumping in. Just our colorful characters being their awesome selves and interacting however we want them to.

The Setting
The RP will take place in a village that has any amenities all characters would need to function. All resources and locations needed would be readily available. That means the village may end up being a bit of a hodge-podge, but we sacrifice cohesion for FREEDOM! Freedom's good, right?

Now, because nothing spices up a party like a good villain, we will have players take turns playing temporary "arc villain" characters. This will serve as the bit of conflict we may need to mix things up. What do the villains want to do? Unleash a hoard of demons? Overthrow the world government? Sabotage the baker's yeast so the bread won't rise? It's all up to the players.

Now, just so we can keep this under control, there will be a couple of basic rules.

1.) No godmoding.

2.) Be respectful.

3.) No OOC drama

So here's a CS for ya:

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Appearance:

Items: (Include any weapons, tools, equipment, etc. that your character carries)

Abilities: (Include any powers, notable skills, or specialized knowledge that your character has)

Background: (A brief summary of your character’s past)

Other: (Anything else that we should know about your character)

Just as long as you're not playing a character as strong as superman, you should be accepted. I think that's it. Feel free to post any questions, comments, or suggestions. HAVE FUN!

What's the cap on characters?

I was thinking of having a regular one for the longer haul and another one to inspire some drama early on.

I think having two characters to start would be ok.

so is there any general consensus on how the characters end up in this village? Weakened walls between reality, doorways, whatever? Or just make up what we want, within reason?

Wow this is a lot of freedom, and I love the idea of everyone taking turns on being a villain. I'm about to hit the hay, and hopefully I'll have someone ready in the morning :)

Your character can be there for whatever reason you want.

The world is a conglomeration of all possible settings. In this case, your character would likely take the "neutral" form, with the possibility to change as she wishes.

By that you mean they jump from universe to universe, and not literally from RP to RP, right? I'm not a huge fan of overly meta, "this is all actually fictional in-story" characters in RPs, honestly. ^^; Kind of ruins the immersion and suspension of disbelief, y'know? ^^;

Well it's weird the character doesn't break the fourth wall, but they do. It's as if there changing storybooks seemleslly what just seems to them like jumping dimensions

Kind of don't like the implications there either.

If it's at all jumping from actual RP to RP it kind of hurts everything else, honestly.

I personally don't mind the jumping from RP to RP, but I am concerned with what exactly you mean.

Do you mean literal RPs on this site or parodies of the kind of RPs that'd be on this site?

I don't think it would be an issue as long as the character refers to them as "other worlds," or "alternate universes." And as long as she's not just constantly jumping around all willy-nilly.

I don't think you get the point.

It isn't like doctor who.

It is more like a very long journey and then eventually chaining it to the space time being that keeps fucking with her, and she leaves.

I'll just change though since so many people seem upset with the concept.
