Are you ready to play the game of life~?
We all hold the essence of god within us, as, indeed, we ARE god, at least when our soul and reincarnations are concerned. You are one such young soul, with just enough Divine Essence to your name to start a sole human life in a world quite similar to our own. Be careful out there, for you will get only one chance to gather enough DE for another worthy and lengthy life. Manage to bungle it up, and it's an animal life for you once more, devoid of meaning beside the survival of your species.
Of course, you will forget you are the master of your fate each time you reincarnate, but it's one of the rules of the Game of Life, and as such is part of the ~fun~, is it ? Each of your incarnations will have a hidden goal, that you will have chosen but promptly forgotten when you stepped into your new body at it's birth. Not only that, but you will have to choose a Karma for this life, that will change your temperament and goals according to it's existence. Bad Karma will mean you will have a life full of conflict but also opportunities, a Neutral Karma will mean you will walk a narrow road indeed, and a Good Karma means an easy but unfulfilling life.
Each life will be put in chapters called : Infanthood, Childhood, Adolescence, Young Adulthood, Adulthood, Middle Ages and finally Elderhood and will span many worlds and timelines. Seven chances to change your fates you will have, and the best of it you will have to make it, for nothing is worse than the nothingness that awaits your young soul if you do not make something of your life. This will be the time of action, adventure and exploration of your world, for salvation can be hidden anywhere. To help you you will be drawn to some things and repulsed by others, paving the way to your still forgotten life goal.
That goal will be unknown to you player as well, but you will have first a first hint by a choice between category of Purposes and secondly by dreams you will have before each Age of your life. Fulfilling your Purpose will not be your only goal, however, yes, your primary one, but not the only one, for each action according to your Karma and Temperament will gain you some Divine Essence to your name, in which you will be able to change your fate at your current body's death, that it may be as simple as changing gender to as complicated as a new race or world.
Cooperation will be vital both in and between lives, for Essence can be pooled together to change worlds, create new races or powers and even link fates together, making for more challenging but rewarding outcomes.
To recap, for your first life you will be able to choose:
Your Gender (Male or Female)
Your Karma (Bad, Neutral or Good)
Your Temperament (Must be in line with Karma)
Your Purpose Category (Relationship, Career, Scholastic or Spiritual.)
Later on, your Race, Gender and Inherent Abilities will be able to be 'purchased' with DE, and the following will be able to be decided between the existing players:
Timeline
Culture
Genre
Soulmates
Finally, the whole thing will be Quest based for all of our convenience, with Quests being unlocked by either discovering them through an event, a thought or a dream.
Do you have what it takes to play god?
