DIP
“Those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them.” –Winston Churchill, paraphrasing Jorge Santayana
The acronym stands for Die in Place…
...may God have mercy on the soul given the DIP Mission.
I have an idea for a Role Play I will put right here and see who is interested.
Your character is a warrior reincarnated over time. Each chapter covers a different life or period. A round of posts introducing our characters, a second round setting up the battle we are about to engage in, and then we post for several rounds until our characters die. The next chapter has time skips of several hundred years-ish. We always begin and end as adult warriors. We don’t need a background story or even a character name to begin. We can tally the names we call ourselves as the roleplay evolves—adding them to our character sheets as we go. Our characters do not remember their past lives just like you don’t remember yours if the theory of reincarnation is true. Due to the consistency of our personalities, we do not learn from our past lives and are doomed to repeat certain elements in our successive lives.
We will begin the roleplay in Ancient Greece as Spartan Warriors at Thermopylae sent to stop the Persian Army in the 5th century BC. If you are familiar with that engagement, you must be aware, that everyone perishes.
The next chapter can be decided by me, or you if you would like to contribute to the timeline. Please do. I would prefer to progress through time in chronological order from the 5th century BC forward without jumping back in time. This may require a brain dump session in an OOC capacity to throw out ideas of where to land next. I am considering sometime in the Roman Empire, but it could be in Asia or some other area of the world—whatever works.
