Background
Welcome to the world(s) of Controlled Chaos, a very special game. The setting is simple, yet complex. Yes. That is the setting, “yes.” All of them. Every single one of all of everything. How is this possible? In the same way that a horse can be a sleeping cheese curd, or the same way that lightning rains from the desert aqueducts like an office building. Making sense yet? No? Good. Sit back and let me spin you a tale lost to all time, remembered by none but recognized by all, except for the few that don’t, but screw those guys, they’re jerks.
Eons ago, in a time before any can remember, older than the oldest living (and non-living!) thing, there existed a mad god. Not mad as in angry, though he can be quite emotional. No, mad as in insane, though he’d take exception to that remark. He’s less in-sane and more slightly eschew to the left of sane, but I digress. I speak of the one and only God of Chaos, Crocus. Why is he named after a flower? Only he knows for sure, and he’s not really that sure. That being said, his power is immeasurable. Mortals, immortals, other god-like beings, other full fledged gods, none of them come close to his power (except for one, but she’s not around right now). Well in the time of primordial-ness, before What Is Now, Crocus did whatever he liked on a whim for his enjoyment, but nothing was more enjoyable than messing around with others. Oh how much fun! The boundaries between worlds, space, universes, multiverses threatened to shatter before his playful, childlike glee. That is, until he went away. Why? Well, the “other one” got to him, put him in his place. But that was a long long time ago. And now… He’s free once again.
Crocus will begin his fun once more, starting with you. Who are you? Whoever you are, that’s who. Whoever you want to be. A Jedi knight. A Spartan soldier. A pony. A dragon. Demon. Robot. Magical girl. Super hero. Lazy nerd. Great wizard. Police officer. George Washington. Any and all of these could be you, but only you know for sure. Well… You and Crocus. For some reason, he’s begun his new vacation from the bonds of imprisonment by handpicking you and a few others to mess around with. Reality will warp to his whim, rules will exist in thought only, change will be the only constant. Will you enjoy Crocus’ games as much as the God of Chaos himself? Or will you be driven mad by the insanity of his ever-changing desires and games? Only time can tell. And cheese. But cheese not telling.
Rules
- Standard no god-modding, power playing, general being a jerk, blah blah blah/
- Respect the GM, who is Crocus. This RP is all about freedom, so I’m going to listen to the wants and desires of all players, but in the end my word is the law.
- As Crocus, I reserve the right to change details all the time, which includes your power levels and abilities (for example, if some player takes a dragon but the next adventure takes you, oh, say, in a spaceship fight, they may get downsized or turned into a humanoid form or some such).
- Feel free to draw inspiration from any existing canons, franchises, and source material, but I do not want actual canon characters. So no Son Goku, no Batman, no Master Chief, etc., but characters based on them or from the same worlds are perfectly acceptable. The exception is real-life historical figures (like the aforementioned George Washington), but only if they’re not being played super seriously close to historical depictions of their personalities. I don’t want too much seriousness in this game.
- Post your character sheets in the OOC section first to be judged, then place them in the character section once approved. Standard fare.
- Please try to post at least once a week. If this isn’t possible, or if anything comes up, communication is key. Hallelujah!
- No spamming, no double posting. The edit button exists for a reason.
- Player limit of 5. Maybe a little more if I see something I’m especially interested in.
- Post this image into the bottom of your CS so I know you read the rules.
