Hello Roleplayers,

Welcome to "I.F. There Was Magic"! This is the first role-play in what will hopefully become an entire persistent universe on this site. All the stories we tell here, the characters, and even the artwork, will be original works. Our stories will only be limited by our imaginations.

Thanks for tuning in!

Infinity Fiction is an actual legal entity in real life (an LLC to be exact), founded by myself. The dream is that, one day, role-play-writers like ourselves will be able to make a living off doing what we love. I've been a part of the "Role Player Guild" since near the beginning of its inception many years ago, under different usernames, and I feel it's only appropriate to start this venture here, where it all began.

All Infinity Fiction RPs will function a little differently than normal RPs. Many things will stay the same, but a few things will change and be added. First, you will still make your character sheets here in the "Characters" tab, and the OOC section will still be a general board for questions and conversations between current and prospective role-players. But instead of players posting in the IC section directly, only 'moderators' can post there. Otherwise, we will use Google Docs. Finally, we will also be using Discord. Google Docs and Discord will be covered further down.

• An RP within the Infinity Fiction universe is known as a Storyline. It is best to think of this as a show or a series of books. In this case, this first RP "I.F. Magic Were Real" is our first Storyline. If this role-play does earn a spot as a Persistent World in the "Role-Player-Guild" then this roleplay "I.F. Magic Were Real" would become one of many. Story Arcs and scenes make up one story line.

  ---

• Each Story Arc will get its own Google Doc. Here, one Upper Level Moderator will oversee the progression of multiple scenes within their Google Document. The moderator can then choose to personally run each scene or appoint other moderators to help with the scenes. Multiple Story Arcs can be explored at the same time and posted into the main Storyline, one scene at a time. But multiple scenes can't be done at once.

  ---

• Scenes are simply bite sized chunks of a Story Arc. When a scene is completed, an Upper Level Moderator will post that scene into the IC section here.

The best part about using Google Docs and Discord is that we can have a live experience. But if people are not online at the same time, it doesn't work as well. To fix this, moderators will need to dedicate certain times to being online and available, and these times should be the same every week. This way, everyone knows the best time to be online.

Role-players may still post to an active Google Doc outside of "Power Hours", but if you are not online during a power hour, your character will considered 'inactive' during this time. See more about 'inactive' characters in the Characters tab.

While we're getting started, I will act as the only moderator. I will be online every night from 10pm to midnight (EST) every night besides Friday and Saturday. I'll also be online at other times too, but those are my promised hours.

Simply post a character sheet to the characters tab and it will be placed under "Pending Characters". When it is approved, it will be placed under "Approved Characters". Once your character is approved, you will be given the link to the Google Doc, where we will be writing together

I am now actively looking for roleplayers.

Alright, taking the plunge here, but how active will this be and how active is this currently? And what people are playing which characters, assuming any have been made?

Well, things are just getting started. I just made this RP the other day and put my first recruitment post out last night. But I expect there to be a good turn out, for sure.

An RP can only be as active as it's moderator(s). I plan on being very active with this one. Online multiple times a day to answer questions and ready to write for at least two hours a night, five nights a week.

What kind of character would you like to make?

I was considering going with an angel, unless that doesn't follow the story arc, in which case I'll make something else.

Also your discord link expired.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll set the next one to not expire.

An Angel works, but you would need to come up with a reason their power has been diluted or restricted. This is because all characters begin with similar stats, and angels are a powerful race. Maybe you can work it into their backstory. On that note, I'm going to adjust the stats a little, in case you've already looked at it.

This is the new Discord link. It is set to expire after being used 10 times, not based off time.

I'll make a new one when this one expires. Everyone, try to use it only once. I don't know if it goes by number of times clicked or by different IP addresses.

Alright. With that in mind I'm thinking of something like exile with a little bit of Saiyan physiology thrown in. Like angels send their exiles to Pratta after stripping them of their wings, which weakens them greatly, similar to how a Saiyan becomes weaker after losing their tail.

Moved.

@ZAVAZggg
Your character is approved.

I'd actually like to give this one more day, for possible new role-players to join. For this thinking about joining, you may post here in this OOC, but for a faster response, discord is faster...

I'll still answer questions and approve characters, but I won't be starting the actual role-play writing until Tuesday. Mondays and Wednesdays are my days "off" per se

Just so we're clear, is this going to be turned into some kind of book or story when it's all done? Are we writing a collaborative novel?

Either way, I'm interested. I did something like this in the past with one of my RL friends, but it didn't really go anywhere, so. Could be interesting to experiment again.

Took a while to read. No glasses atm. I think I maybe interested. However, I'm not sure how free I'll be. I will try hopping onto Discord when I wake up.

Sounds interesting! I am a little rusty so I think I might stay with a simple, minor character. Maybe just a low-class human, or a Gnome who lives under the radar of humans.

Are you still searching for players?

Sorry, I've had a long and eventful weekend. I am still looking for characters. Submit a character sheet to me via PM or in the OOC section.

Sorry. I had to go to California to get a car. I will be able to get online in the morning. I hope you are all staying safe.

I'm glad you didn't get locked down in California while you were there. Seriously though, I'm doing well.

Good to hear from you. Looking forward to your character sheet being posted in the Character's tab soon. I just realized it isn't in there yet.
