Stranded Thots
Magic has existed in this world as another form of energy since the dawn of time. In spite of a nail, time has progressed with and without it, with magic either making lives better for humans, or worse. Magical energy, collectively known as mana, has powered magic of all kinds all throughout the world, whether it would be through alchemy, sorcery, conjuration, superpowers, curses, wizardry and witchcraft. With its ability to transfer into different forms of energy and matter, it was only a matter of time before they became somewhat of a staple in some societies. While mana is an energy found in all things, living and non-living, it exists in different forms and comes in different ways. While all men and women were born with mana within, only few can attune it from birth and become sorcerers, mages or superhumans. Some mana comes in the form of 'curses', where mana can forever mutate a being in a variety of ways (such as that of vampires, werewolves and faeries). While anyone can become a wizard or witch, it takes years of practice and study to attune oneself to use the mana within, and the mana without. As a result, while magic is a part of everyday life, only very few are directly affected by it, and only few can control it. As such, most magic users are among the elite in goverment, business, and in militaries. This world, with all of the modern amenities that we have here in the land of the present, is what some know as Mana Earth.
However, while most of Earth are what people consider 'low magic', there are many places on the planet where a very high concentration of magical energy condensate. They create these zones called Nexus Points, where entire areas of land, sea or air are affected by the high concentration of mana, and end up creating strange and rather unique landmasses, as well as that of unique creatures as well. In many Nexus Points, entire civilizations once existed, or still do. These places have been fabled to house untold amounts of treasures, with valuable gems, artifacts and even mana power sources. However, many dare not go to such places, and many world governments officially forbid travel to Nexus Points, as often times these places are home to dangerous conditions, creatures and even civilizations that make it difficult for even the most advanced military tech to remain inside for a sustained period of time. Even then, with such high concentrations of mana, it has a chance of mutating a person over time, for better or for worse. As such, only small groups of insertion teams for just about any faction ever dare enter such places in search for riches, and while many make it out alive, there are many others who wouldn't make it out at all. While Nexus Points are safely photographed by that of satellites and high-flying aircraft, they still remain a rather mysterious entity for those in the ground, with pictures and video from surviving adventurers telling the tale of such places. Many theorize that the high concentration of mana are what led to the strange conditions in these places, while many argue that the high concentration of mana creates dimensional portals and rifts that allow alien lifeforms from other dimensions to enter. While both have been proven, there's not enough data yet to reach a solid conclusion.
While many tales exist of adventures into the great unknown, this one tells a tale with a rather unordinary group of adventurers who set out to reach the Albright Island Nexus Point, one located in the Atlantic Ocean, close to Europe and Africa. This group, led by none other by a man who goes by the moniker of Mr. Smith, has heard a variety of legends and tales from past explorers of the Bitterbane, a powerful sword with the ability to murder (or feed) targets with the power of sweets. Using money that totally wasn't embezzled from any CIA black funds, Mr. Smith and his new and old comrades set off to sail in the Milky Way, a landing vessel with several vehicles, and plenty of cargo space, as well as full living furnishings within. With Albright Island in mind, satellite data and Google Maps reveals a large mystical island home to many nearly impossible biomes and a variety of structures, turning one large boring island into a huge island of adventure! But will Mr. Smith and his comrades find the Bitterbane and vanquish those nasty veggies and hipster food for good? Or will this RP die before the characters set foot on the island?

We all know what we're here for, some good ol' fashioned adventure! Unfortunately, this RP is a closed RP only reserved for a few of my friends. However, I will open the RP to new players just in case if we ever fall short of a few. While this RP is listed as "Free RP", there are some standards here in regards to how we do things. Just in case if there are any new players, most of us are of the high-casual variety, so at least do something of substance here. But for the OG playas, you guys know what to do. ;)
There are only a few rules in regards to this RP.
0. What I say goes but I'm totally open to any and all suggestions. We did build this together after all.
1. Please be nice. <3 (Though this one should be a cakewalk to follow)
2. Communicate as much as possible, so we won't trip over each other. ^_^
3. Uhm... never talk about Stranded Thots? IDK.
4. For any noobs here, standard rules apply. No drama, be nice, play nice, no godmodding, come to me for questions, etc.
5. These rules will be updated with "official" rules if by off chance people do come over so... uh... yeah. Have fun! <3
Here is the Character Sheet format. While the post format is fluid here, the CS template will remain relatively the same so it would be much easier to review. I borrowed this from a 2 yo RP I used to GM (rest in peace Powerbound: Leftovers from the Metahuman Cold War Fridge), so hopefully it will find some use here as well. The ???'s are for the color hex code, and can easily be replaced in Notepad through the Replace function. :)
I think I covered everything. If I didn't, feel free to let me know!
These are just the notes I keep around for the universe, as well as other things such as the biomes, areas explored, and RP notes. It helps me keep track of who's done what, where what is at, and what things do and what the rules are. Because lord knows I can't keep anything in my head, or rely on Discord to keep all of my notes together! Hopefully you guys will find this useful somewhat. I made this as a Zeroth Post so people can easily refer to it, and so it can be edited by the others as well.
This RP is an open forum! Feel free to suggest anything to me, either through here in the OOC, through the Discord server, and through the PMs! Thank you, and have fun!
