(Thanks for deciding to click this interest check. This was a roleplay I thought of a while ago and have been itching to do. Any sort of feedback or commentary is greatly appreciated!)
Some say time is just a man-made creation, that there really is no such thing as "time." Yet, if some say it's no big deal, then why does the world stop when time stops? One minute ago, the world was full of life. People talking, machines whirring, plants growing. The next, everything stops. The sun doesn't move. The clouds freeze. Oceans stop mid-wave. Everything stops like the pause button on a remote control was pushed.
Yet, if time froze, why are you still moving? You are still breathing, able to walk on your own, even manipulate the movements of those around you. If you're unfrozen then surely there must be others, others you can band with to figure out what caused the world to freeze and what you can do to return life to normal.
It's your mission to find other survivors of the Freeze and find some way to live all while trying to figure out who, or what, has stopped time. While you try to live in these conditions, you must remember that everything is now manual. Machines will only work with a crank. Water can only be pumped by hand. Modern plumbing? Well, not so modern anymore. Anything that runs on electricity is "off" unless you can find a way to manually run it.
Time stopped on May 11, 2078 at 1:41 pm. By this year and time technology had made huge leaps and bounds. There is a cure for nearly every type of cancer or at least treatments that would lead to remission. Space travel is a common, everyday adventure. The world has waned itself off fossil fuels and has turned to natural resources; wind, sun, water. There have even been some rumors of time travel. Scientists have become powerful, and if one piece of information is in the wrong hands then the world could end. Or stop.
For the sake of finding all those who weren't frozen, while still being able to be at a resource, scientific and knowledge center, the roleplay will take place in New York City (three separate pictures) and the surrounding areas, like Long Island. The current weather is partly cloudy with no signs of rain. The weather was warming up a bit for the upcoming summer but isn't unbearable to stand in.
The world is essentially your oyster because no one can tell you "no."
There isn't much to this form because I'd prefer to expand everything in the roleplay.

The Plan
It's your mission to find other survivors of the Freeze and find some way to live all while trying to figure out who, or what, has stopped time. While you try to live in these conditions, you must remember that everything is now manual. Machines will only work with a crank. Water can only be pumped by hand. Modern plumbing? Well, not so modern anymore. Anything that runs on electricity is "off" unless you can find a way to manually run it.

General Rules
- Of course, all Guild rules apply.
- As the GM, please respect what I have to say. I don't see too many problems that could possibly arise but, still, I'm only saying this just in case.
- Romance is perfectly fine, but just remember to follow Guild rules. Nothing too explicit and such.
- Godmodding against those frozen in time? Totally accepted and probably quite funny. Godmodding against other plays? Totally not accepted or funny.
- I'm looking for high-casual writers. Please have good grammar and post at least one paragraph (referring back to high school for this, but that equals five-six good sentences) if you must. Just make sure that, with each post, you're able to move along the roleplay and not just add some fluff. If you need to wait a post or two to find a place to jump in and respond, that's cool.
- If you will be gone for more than three days, please tell me! I know that I'm gonna be gone for a week in June, so just please keep me updated. I don't need a signed parent excuse or something.
- Last but not least, be nice, respect each other and have fun.
Rules of the Land
Since we're messing with logic and physics I figured maybe some guidelines should be set.- If it runs on electricity, it doesn't work. The only way to run these items is to find some manual crank. (ex: we like to think refrigerators run on their own and stay cold 24/7, but with the Freeze, the refrigerator may say it's on, but it really isn't.)
- Time is so powerful that the weather has stopped as well. No more pretty sunsets or thunderstorms.
- Living creatures - people, animals, plants, ect. - that are frozen are still alive, but they've stopped aging. Since only our characters will be alive, growing food shouldn't be too much of a problem.
- Since plants are frozen, that teeeeechnically means that oxygen and carbon dioxide aren't being cycled in the atmosphere but we'll just ignore that little hiccup.
- NPCs are totally cool.
- If there's any confusion feel free to ask me!

Don't start sending one just yet! I'd like to see how many people are interested first.There isn't much to this form because I'd prefer to expand everything in the roleplay.
