A rift of worlds (Sort of The Matrix meets 2012 meets Internet culture with inter-dimensional rifts)

[ManiacMaestro]

So, when I'm bored and I haven't been on RPG for a while, I come up with crazy stuff.

The year is 2016, everything is pretty much the same as in our reality, well, that is until rifts start popping up around the world. Strange and frightening creatures,memes,and things thought only to be fiction until that moment come pouring out from these portals. People speculate them to be tears in the fabrics of time and space, others believe it to be the work of the Illuminati/God/Satan/Lovecraftian monsters/ some other group or being beyond most peoples comprehension. Some have ventured into the portals, but even fewer make it back. some of those that do escape are so frightened, they do not wish to enter it again...

Ask me if you have further questions.

So where do PCs come in?

[ManiacMaestro]

Sorry for not responding earlier, but PCs and other devices come in more or less a way to look into the internet (of course...) although theremay be people attempting do a matrix style (plugging yourself into the PC) way of getting through to the other side. Also, if there is a character with knowledge of programming, they might be able to even play god with the other world and manipulate it. (Not necessarily with good intentions mind you, and with debatable ethics of course.)
