Hey, there. I am Fi. Lately, I've been trying to put an idea or two together. Mirrorside is what I've settled on; a game of character-exploration and development focused on the idea of entrapment (entombment) in a world populated by the strange and surreal. While the intro doesn't explain a great deal, I have a few things that I'm looking for in this 'experience'. As well as a few pre-determined concepts.
So, in no particular order and without outright categorization, here they are.
• Mirrorside (as it is currently called, though this will likely have a different In-Character moniker) is accessed by the preparation and execution of a 'ritual' in front of a mirror. The ritual, as it stands, will involve the burning of a piece of paper that has the Querent's wishes/desires written on it. While most who perform the ritual come away unscathed, there are some who find themselves...well, you get the idea.
• Horror is certainly something I haven't written a lot of. I hope to get a bit better at it, through this particular story. Mind you, however, that isn't the sole focus.
• Puppets (Guides) appear to those who arrive in Mirrorside, often with instructions for the Querent. Why they appear is usually varied, though they often take a form that the Querent will understand and readily identify. Their intentions and personalities vary greatly, as well.
• The 'worlds' or 'rooms' of Mirrorside often find their roots in reality, in one way or another; despite their warped proportions and contents. This is also true of the rumored 'No-One'. 'No-One' is, as whispers go, the reflection of a Querent...though nebulous uncertainty surrounds even the more 'solid' bits of information one can find.
• I expect people to write around three paragraphs a post. More is always welcome, but I understand that some people are busy or may encounter a difficult spot to make an 'adequate' response.
• We'll be staging our beginning in Rook City. An urban sprawl that houses somewhere somewhere around one-million people. Since the ritual is something of a pre-requisite, I figure we can work on setting up a group endeavor having to do with a school-year initiation practice having to do with a Rook City landmark. (Mirror of Egress is the current name I've got for it. A sort of 'abstract art piece' that has been around long enough to attract its own sort of urban legends.)
That's all I want to put out there, at the moment. Thank you for taking the time to read over my idea. I hope that I can look forward to communicating and writing alongside you.
As the usual practice goes, I will be taking questions as they come. Feel free to present whatever it is you'd like to say through here, or PM.
From here on are minor additions from the original post
We have a Discord.
I intend to make this RP work; though I really need 3-4 people. Aside from those already involved.
If you would like to speak with me, or have questions...use this thread, the other thread, or the Discord. PM is a viable method, as well.
Thank you for your time.
