This RP is based off a story I wrote a long time ago about a boy who escaped his bleak reality by finding asylum inside his dreams. I think the concept would scale well to having multiple characters, especially since the planned sequel to that story would have done just that.

So all of the players would be kids, teens at the oldest, who all go to the same school or to schools in the same close area. The characters would be completely normal kids during the day, going to school, dealing with family, hanging out with friends, all that jazz. The real fun, and the core of the story, is when they fall asleep. You would be playing as a child who experiences lucid dreaming, which means they are aware that they are dreaming. Beyond that, each is capable of controlling their dreams, essentially becoming an omnipotent god until they wake. Yes, you heard it right: Omnipotent. Anything you want, anything at all, you can create inside their dreamspace. Whip yourself up some futuristic starships or throw together your very own non-Euclidean Lovecraftian world; be a wizard like Hairy Pothead or swim in cold fire or blow bubbles into stars; emulate reality or shred the rule book and scatter the pieces.

The very beginning will most likely feature very little character interaction beyond seeing each other in school or if your characters are friends, allowing time to establish who your character is and what it is they do inside their dreams. What really marks the beginning of the story is the first contact: when one player enters into another's dreamspace.

Would they assume it just another part of the dream? Would they recognize a stranger tearing through their world? For that matter, would their dream appearance even match their waking one? Would they tell anyone else in the waking world about their dreams? And what would happen to the mind if two omnipotent gods battled it out inside one's head? All this and more in the next anticlimactic episode of Dragon Ball Z!

I'd leave everything after opening that Pandora's box up to you. Whether you end up killing each other to protect your clashing realities, or if you end up banding together to become the keepers of a whole knew reality is up to you. Every once in a while there may be an unforeseeable event thrown in to rattle the cages, but not often.

If you'd be interested in an RP were you change from an impotent child to an omnipotent god and back again with a turn of the moon, let me know. I'm very willing to take in any and all feedback and suggestions to make an RP that is fun for everyone.

Yay, a pineapple! I mean, yay a people! You are a person, right Luna? You can lie on the internet, so how can I know if you're really a person? I think you might be a bot.

Oh hey Marshal, I remember you from the old guild. You have hereby passed the first checkpoint: the 'I am a person' check. Congratulations!

Okay then, if you insist.

I'm hoping for at least one other person, but there's no minimum number of people for this. I'll hopefully get around to posting the OOC later today, so that might attract some more people... or bots.

I feel very intrigued by this and hereby express my interest!
Lucid dreaming in an on itself is a rather mysterious and thrilling topic in my opinion, as I have read more than one book about it yet completely and utterly fail to achieve it myself. I can see how this would lead to interesting rp, plus I am starving for some, any at all really.
I also am a real person, not a bot at all.
Beep, boop.

If you only needed three people, consider me a backup. I am fairly busy at the moment, but I can join in if someone drops out.

Welcome and will do. I didn't manage to get the OOC finished and ready to be posted today as I had planned, so that will be delayed.

In the meantime, here's the CS if anyone wants to get started:

Name: No aliases please, this isn't a conspiracy murder RP.
Age: Keep it young, below 16 at least, preferably younger.
Gender: This one should be pretty easy.
Appearance: Pic or description, I don't really care what, so long as it gets the point across I'm fine with it.
Personality: Make it as basic and nondescriptive as possible. The personality should be formed organically in the IC, I just don't want two characters being exactly the same.
History: Brief. They are just your average kids, remember. No ridiculous dramatic episodes please.
Thoughts: This part is mandatory. Toss out some ideas or thoughts that you think might be fun to try in this kind of open environment. An RP is meant to be fun, so I like incorporating as much input as possible from those involved. Be as serious or ridiculous as you want here, I won't bite.
Dreams: And this one is completely optional. What does your character like to do in their dreams? Do they have continuing dreams, or is it always different? Why are they creating the dreams that they are? Feel free to ignore this if you'd rather save it for the IC, just think about it for later.

(Sorry for any typos. I'm posting this from my phone, which I hate doing.)

Edit: Thanks Luna, but I was just a little busy today. Nothing a Friday afternoon can't clear up.

I'm new to the forums and haven't rp'd for a while, but if you're still accepting players I'd love to join. This sounds like the perfect world to get my imagination back in shape :)

Can I join please? This sounds like an interesting roleplay. Is it similar to Inception?

I haven't accepted or denied anyone at this point, so feel free to throw together a character. I might judge characters as I get them, or I might wait until a few are posted and then judge them. I'll still be accepting characters until I decide that I'm not.

It's a very complicated decision process I have developed and patented.

Edit: Inception? Not really... Actually, the only similarity I can see is that both have something to do with dreams.
