You are Immortal. For all intents and purposes, you once lived a normal life - you were born, aged, grew old, and died. But then you were reborn. All the memories and powers you gained from your previous life are intact. If you die of old age, you will be reborn as an infant, but if you die any other way, you can control where, when, and in what stage of life you reappear in. The downside to this is that you'll reappear in nothing but your birthday suit and will have to reacquire the things you dropped, but that comes with the territory.
Much of your life will be spent in the territory of Aetherion, a group of independent States loosely bound together by shared ethnicity. As an Immortal, you may be either a Dictator, the Hand of the Dictator (your right-hand partner), or play some other role of your choosing. You may not be a mortal in this RP. Every Immortal Dictator must be accompanied by an Immortal Hand, and if there are any Dictators without a partner, someone will have to change roles.
The only way you will ever permanently die is if you are slain with the fabled Infinity Blade (yes, a direct ripoff from the namesake series), a magical weapon that transcends time to wound anything that would cheat death. Don't think you'll survive a wound from that weapon if you're like Deadpool with super-regeneration powers - all wounds from this weapon are irreparable. I will decide who gets it, if anyone. If I choose to play as an Immortal in this RP, I am excluded from giving it to myself.
Technology in this world is a mixture of sci-fi and high fantasy. Magical swords & shields, bows & arrows, and spellcasting occur right alongside cannons, steampunk devices, and handguns. Immortal Dictators are in a unique position to profoundly influence the world around them, and players who take that role get to be GM of their respective State. There must be at least 2 Dictators for this story to work, but 3 are ideal, balancing political complexity with RP manageablility.
All of the States begin the story unattached with each other. Once the RP begins, you may sort out your allies and enemies at your leisure, provided this is arranged in-story. Players of Immortal Hand characters may start the RP unattached to their respective Dictators on condition that their attachment commences within the first few pages of the game.
The goal of this RP is to create a deathmatch within a believable context, but I don't mind if it turns into a Nation RP of some kind. You're the boss - you get to decide how this pans out.
