And in an instant it was all gone.

The fabric of reality buckled like a book case collapsing in on itself. Dimensions, entire planes of existence never meant to intertwine were crushed on top of one another until they began to crumble. Planets were pulled apart as the very laws that held them together, that allowed them to exist at all, ceased to function.

When "The Event" stopped all that remained were broken remnants. Pieces of the underwater city of Rapture, fragments of the alien invaded Reach, the Arklay Mountains near Raccoon city, and the bits and pieces of countless other worlds all drifting through the ethereal void of nonexistence. They were like islands with the people, places, and things on them perfectly preserved.

Unable to move, unable to think, unable to perceive what had happened or what would become of them.

All of existence could have ended there, but something began to happen.

Bit by bit the fragments began to bunch together. Entire chunks of once whole planets packed together with lands, locales, and buildings of various worlds piling on. Mass and particles were drawn together, forming a star and eventually a moon.

Light shined, gravity pulled, and time began to move forward as a new set of rules was formed from the remaining shreds of other realities.

As the sun rose over the new, patchwork world for the first time the people, creatures, and entities that had been carried along with the fragments awoke to found themselves displaced.

Citizens, soldiers, survivors, test subject, knights, were presented with a twisted world filled with wonder they had never dreamed off...and horrors they never could have imagined.

Undying monstrosities of pestilence, vicious cold hearted mercenaries, alien zealots, blood thirsty robots, and deformed genetic drug abusers were just a fraction of what they found themselves contending against.

So people ran, wandering and desperately trying to survive. In the new world there was no law, no established rule, no one to keep them safe but themselves. Yet they continued to move, over rolling hills, across vast stretches of water, and through landscapes they dared not put to word. They searched hoping to find a safe place, a sanctuary.

What they found was a place called 2Fort.



Mistaking it for some kind of town people began to settle down and tried to make it into somewhere they could live.

This is where our story begins.



You get all that?

Long story short, this is a role play that revolves around the mass crossover of various video games into a single world. It focuses on an original plot of survival, struggle, and adaption to the bizarre patchwork world they're all stuck living on.

The roleplay will put emphasis on randomized loot and building up the 'town' of 2Fort.

Starting off the 'town' will have very little to offer and will be vulnerable to attack from countless horrific enemies. The town of 2Fort will grow and prosper, or wither and die at the actions of you and your characters.

Player characters that can't simply find food, ammo, armor, weapons, and items whenever it's convenient for them. Instead a large loot table made up of things from the countless video games involved will be used to determine what you find.

Now you're probably asking what series are involved in the roleplay.

Here's a list of games I chose as a base to start from. However more games can be added at player request. If you wanted to play a character from Metroid, or Final Fantasy, or simply felt having elements of a game in the RP would add to things then that game could be added. The Items, enemies, and various elements/locals from that game would be incorporated into the lists/tables I have.

So if at first glance this roleplay doesn't interest you, keep in mind that you can suggest virtually any game series you enjoy.

However there are some rules regarding what games can and cannot be allowed into the roleplay:

#1: The video game can't be spun off of an existing piece of media. So nothing tied to anime, comic books, novels, or film. If I didn't have this rule it'd be total chaos even if it would give me an excuse to ruse RWBY Grimm Eclipse.

#2: The game needs to be reasonable for the setting of the role play as a whole. A game where characters can casually blow up planets would not work here for example.

#3: The game needs to be suggested for the right reasons. I don't want people trying to powerplay or metagame. If you want to stroke your ego and game the system to be the strongest, then don't bother joining this rolplay. This is meant to be about the adventure and the narrative we craft, the excitement of adventure and the struggles of making do with what we can scrounge up.

And that's pretty much it. Here is the list of games the roleplay starts off made up of:

Note: I'm allowing Original Characters from established game universes to be apped alongside canon characters, but please don't abuse my leniency here.

Current Population: 20 People
Current Resources: [Fresh Water], [Fish], [Weak Electrical Power]
Population Mood: "Feeling Safe!"
EVENTS: None at this time.



Two nearly identical buildings, one blue another red, stand separated by a pond and connected by a battered roofed bridge running over it. Made of wood, corrugated sheet metal, and the occasional length of chicken wire they give off an agricultural feel. The hay, empty grain silos, and barn style doors seem to suggest this is fact.

However the lingerings stink of gunpowder betrays the true nature of the opposing forts.

Beneath the surfaces of both forts are clean and sleek facilities with offices, meeting rooms, rows of computer banks, and mission control rooms that once accurately displayed the state of the world from which it was from.

A road and an old railroad track runs up to the boundaries of 2Fort, though where they lead now is unclear…

should we do character reservations? I haven't decided what I'm doing quite yet but i thought it might be a good thing to do. also by the way, the waiting room pic doesn't load as the link is to the wiki page hosting the image and not the image itself.

@DracoLunarisDamn it, I swore I fixed the waiting room pic. Thanks for letting me know.

Also yeah you can do character reservations if there is a particular canon character you'd like to claim. Just let me know here in chat. First come first serve, but let's all be reasonable.

@Infamous Empath There are a couple of reasons. The main one is that a good role play needs focus and limitations breed creativity. If I allowed people to bring in whatever they wanted from anime, movies, est, then things would turn into a complete mess pretty fast. By narrowing the scope it keeps everything easily defined and understandable. Plus since I know a lot of video games it makes compiling the loot, enemy, and location lists that much easier for me.

This is still open right cause I got a few ideas to run by you:

1. Could we possibly add Monster Hunter to the list of games? Giant dinosaur monsters roaming the land would be super ultra fun.
2. I was also hoping that we could possibly add Starcraft to the list of worlds? Not really as much for its content but I would hella enjoy being able to play a rendition of Sarah Kerrigan to give some otherworldiness to the cast. If we're going to allow some of the rather powerful stuff from Skyrim with the possibility of Argonians I wouldn't see it being much of an issue.

@FrozenEcstasyOf course it's still opened it I only just made it :D

Also to answer your questions:

#1: Absolutely! It's funny you mention adding Monster Hunter since I'm playing through Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate right now and was thinking of adding it anyway. The monsters would make for some great and challenging encounters, as well as more 'natural' threats to the town itself. To say nothing of the neat armors, weapons, items, and the adorable Felynes!

#2: Star Craft could work as and addition. I'm a bit skittish on Sarah Kerrigan though since I can't quite recall her full capabilities. As long as you don't intend her to be commanding an army of Zerg then I think it should be fine though. She would add some exotic flavor to the current potential cast.

Her full, complete potential at the end of her run in Starcraft is that of an alien demi-deity xD However, I do not intend to play her that way in the slightest. I'm more interested in having a Primal Queen of Blades with severely diminished Psiionic powers due to the new world's convoluted "rules." She'd then see this new world as a way to start a new life. She'd give her now lesser powers to be used as a tool to fortify 2Fort and help it acquiesce resources. In the meantime, should they be found throughout the world, she would domesticate any zerg species as sort of guard dogs and use them to hunt beasts for food and rescources.

Edit: ALso when I say severely diminished powers I really mean severely.

@FrozenEcstasyThat honestly sounds really kick ass! I'm glad you're interested in playing Kerrigan because of her character and the interesting possibilities, rather then the chance to play as some uber-demigod. It's great to have such good players interested in my roleplay. I'll work on adding Star Craft to the lists. You can work on Kerrigan whenever you feel like it.

@Crosswire I PM'd you Kerrigan's rough-draft CS to avoid cluttering the OOC, lemme know what changes you may want.

To be clear, I want her powers to be reduced to the point that a Siren from Borderlands would out-power her psiionically at first, leaving mostly her alien physiology to be her defining basis for her abilities. I figured she'd personally progress by slightly different rules than other player characters as well, focusing more on the betterment of their community than collecting stuff for herself.

I just looked it over and it's awesome. You can post it in the character section whenever you feel ready!

Reducing Kerrigan's powers and making her progress differently from other characters is a really neat approach Frozen. It makes her stand out and gives her a ton of room for personal progression. I don't want to totally leave you out of the fun of the random elements of this roleplay though. So as Kerrigan evolves she could potentially pick up new Psi Abilities based off the ones from other games (Mindfray, Mind Control, est, est) or other fun stuff. How does that sound?

Oh and System Shock 2, Red Dead Redemption, and Max Payne have been added to the game list on player request. Monster Hunter, Star Craft, and Bastion are currently next to be added into things.

@DracoLunaris Figure there's a case to be made for a game based on a game to be a grey area.

Furthermore that should disqualify Starcraft for being such a blatant 40K ripoff.

Except Starcraft is actually more complex than "Everything is death, despair, and debauchery" ... Plus 40k is just a genrebend ripoff of DnD if you want to play that game.

*ahem* Sorry I get defensive over my zerg babies.
