The opening post is now up. Before we get involved in any sort of GM led story, I'll let everyone have a chance to have their characters interact. In addition, it'll allow you to start building relationships with the other writers.

After everyone has had the opportunity to get a few posts in we'll get started with the official first chapter. What that will entail is me releasing some articles from The London Times newspaper. Each article will in essence be a questline that your character will follow and in certain instances will be right up their alley. For example I might write an article about a crack down on racing which would be an obvious shout out to our resident racer Suji. Multiple people can RP in certain articles or if you want to RP an article yourself, that's totally cool too.

These RP articles will pretty much be free form and i'll allow you the creativity to create the general direction you want to go in. If you get too far out there I will reign it in a bit but for the most part, this is where you guys can take control of the story. It's more to do with the fact that if for example everyone wanted to do a user chapter on their own, i'd need to be replying to you all separately which would be way too time consuming. So once the articles are out, please let me know which interests you and i'll PM you a bit of background, what other people are interested in the article and some general plot points that i'd like you to consider.



What we will need to do is look at working out who knows each other outside of the Universe and in what capacity. For example Sik may know Suji as her user and obviously he'll know her in the Universe, but he may not know they are the same person. Basically there isn't as much of a taboo around knowing a persons real identity within the Universe as there was with RPO. However to help work out who knows who will benefit us all when it comes to the interactions in the real world.

In the realm of Albion very few wander it's lands as regular as the Four Gods. While in the real world they are normal as anyone else, in the Universe they have the control of creation and destruction at their finger tips. As the four original developers of the game they have power over everyone and everything within the game thanks to some handy inbuilt code specifically for their characters. The Four Gods as they have become known in the virtual world are benevolent beyond all else with only the most toxic players suffering their wrath. With the ability to wipe avatars at the click of their fingers Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere only utilise their almost infinite power when the time calls for it.

On the particular day in question, the four stood atop the mountainous region of Siluria looking out over what lay before them. Lush valleys and rolling hills split by fast flowing rivers illuminated up by rays of artificial sunshine are a vast contrast to the real worlds bleakness. In a voice that can only be described as divine, Guinevere spoke.

"I think it's time we open the competition." Her voice was as much an order as it was a suggestion. Like the other Gods her true identity in the real world was unknown. Only the four of them knew exactly who the others were but from the users lucky, or unlucky, enough to come across the Gods it was apparent Guinevere held alot of power amongst them.

Next to speak was Lancelot, his tone alot more jovial and laid back. "I can't help but agree with her. We have planned this for a while and let's be realistic, it's about time we give someone the opportunity at a better life." While the other three Gods avoided getting involved with the Universe in any major capacity, Lancelot would often don standard avatar skins and take part in the many activities the virtual world has to offer. His choosing to do this is often a sensitive issue with the others due to them wanting to ensure they keep entirely neutral.

Standing tall above the rest in a Godly suit of armour was Arthur. His voice boomed with power, seemingly causing the floor beneath their feet to shake. "I still worry about the Corporations. Their armies are numerous and given our agreement of no interference, those who truly need this could miss out." Even with his powerful voice the concern from Arthur was clear in his words.

Then came the withered old voice of Merlin. Wearing a ragged cloak and sporting a long, white beard he was as old in the real world as his avatar in the Universe appeared. "Arthur I know your concerns as we all do. However my friend, you know me and you know the faith I put into what we have created. In the real world the Corporations rule but here...the users are the true rulers..." For a brief moment Merlin paused, looking up into the sky above. "...the competition begins now."

The others nodded in agreement and each of the four pulled an item into existence in front of them: Guinevere a shield; Lancelot a spear; Arthur a sword and Merlin an old wooden staff looking nothing more than a branch. Then in unison the group spoke, their voices and images cast out across the entirety of the Universe. Even in the real world the message was shared, such was the reach of the Universe in the very fabric of society.

To you all who have for years supported us since the creation of the Universe, we now give back to you through the chance to improve your life for the better. We are invoking what we call The Challenge of the Gods. In our hands we hold four items, each will be scattered throughout the entirety of the Universe. Clues are everywhere, you just need to open your eyes to see they are there. Each item grants ten people access to enter the final challenge and the winners of the final challenge will be granted residency in their local Paradise. No matter who you are, your occupation, age, gender or religion, you will earn yourself a better life.
So now...let The Challenge of the Gods begin!


With the final word spoken the four of them slammed their items together and with an echoing blast that reverberated throughout the enitre Universe, the items were scattered. For the immediate moment after the announcement, many people stopped still to take in what happened. Silence was soon followed by hurried whispers before giving way to widespread excitement. People began to log out of the Universe to run into the streets and for the weeks that followed, it was all anyone spoke about.





Two months later and nobody has found an item yet although there are rumours that one of the corporations are getting close. For The Legion of Lions they have had as much luck as everyone else. While some of the key members of the guild have been trying their best to hunt the items, they have made the same progress as the rest of the users. As such the guild has for the most part, continued on with it's regular activities. Right now they are counting their credits after a successful clan battle against the Fists of Omega.


You find yourself in the Legion's war room counting your credits after the successful fight. Some of the lower ranked members of the guild unfortunately suffered a wipe but the more senior members, of which you are one, successfully got through the skirmish unscathed. You have some down time and have an opportunity to mingle with your fellow guild mates.

@CosmicComet sorry buddy, I knew I was missing someone You're accepted also
@DocRock just those edits will suffice buddy
Chapter List

If i've tagged you below, because you have been very patient, you're all accepted (Artifex and DocRock i've got a couple of notes below for you). I've started working on todays little reveal for you all.

Artifex, the cooldowns are more just descriptions of the in game stuff. In reality, anything over 3 to 4 hours is acceptable. Each 'chapter' based in the Universe will cover that period of time so it'll basically be a case of one use per Universe chapter if that makes sense.

Doc sorry I didn't get back to you, totally lost track of everything. Even so, if you have any questions or anything then please ask.
