Aside from the human world, you can create your own.

Would all of you still be interested given this premise? The option of coming from different worlds has been open.

Dusk has settled and another day was about to come to an end. Looking back at what you had accomplished today, you realized that it wasn't much. Whatever problems you were facing are far from disappearing anytime soon. Frustrating, I can imagine. Sometimes, you just wish everything would just end. If you probably had a different life, you wouldn't be forced to deal with such dilemmas. What if I told you that this was actually possible?

Imagine a universe in which all the stars of the sky are another world and that every world was a interconnected into one massive dungeon. Interesting, right?

I present to you, the Dungeon of Samarkand, a City-Type dimension. It is also, to its own knowledge, the only dimension that actively seeks to make extensive contact with other dimensions. It is, in fact, an intrusive dimension, if not a pirate dimension.

Its denizens are hunters of riches and soldiers of fortune, merchants that want to make it big in foreign and exotic markets, adventurers and fearless ethnographers, collectors of the weird and people who simply want to make a name for themselves.

Central, therefore, to Samarkand, is its Dimension Door Hub, an access point to other dimensions. It is located at the core of Samarkand and pretty much everything in Samarkand revolves around it.

Merchants and administrator do their best to make most out of the riches that come and go out of those gates. There are four doors and most worlds have four doors as well. Samarkand is a bit special in that its door are very close together and form a sort of square, around which a quarter is often built beyond.

Once alignment is achieved with another world, you can jump to and fro to another place and time. Such a phenomenon has a time limit on it. Very often we see adventurers stranded in strange places because the gates have fallen out of sync.

Under extraordinary circumstance, some of them even make it back, if the dimensions sync with one another again within a lifespan. It is usually considered a death sentence – or exile, depending on the world they find themselves.

Of course, you can always stay home. Samarkand is a very nice place in itself. But I doubt that you'd simply live such a life. Now, let me ask you, have you ever looked at the stars and wondered what the world beyond looked like? If so, heed my call, accept my offer, and embrace this novel life that some could only dream of.

@Dead Cruiser I can deal with that; doesn't really bother what I'm planning to go with.

Shonen Punk!

A little update on the RP. I'm considering shifting gears into something different in terms of setting.

I'll probably revert Shonen Punk! into a guild of adventurers. You will be said adventurers and will be coming from the human world or some other one (up for discussion). You'll usually be tasked to travel to different realms; the requests will vary from hunting, killing, body guarding, treasure hunting, and maybe even subjugation if need be. Everything will stay the same except for the plot. It would still be an open-world/sandbox-type RP though.

I can type something up if most would like to see this idea actually become a thing.

Shonen Punk!

@Hippocamp Now that I think about it, I think it would be a good idea if you're all allowed to change your character's appearance; that would be optional though, so people can stay human if they want.

As for level of seriousness, I'm not sure how to answer that question. I mean, I want to keep this casual, but if I had to put emphasis on something, it would be presentation. That would include proper coding and to a certain extent, grammar. I mean, english isn't my first language, so I'm not in a position to judge. I just want things to look clean. Does that make sense? For me, as a GM, I'd want to present to those participating in my RP something not only intersting, but also visually appealing and organized. I just hope that I get the same things in return. Aside from that, I don't mind if you post just a paragraph or two; just remember that I'll make use of whatever is in your post or whatever that's not in it.

Alas, I despise the friendship trump card. Unless you outsmart or overpower them, friendship will burn in the face of space technology.

Shonen Punk!

@Rin Can't really tell what that's going to look like, but it sure sounds unique.

Shonen Punk!

@RoflsMazoy PM away my internet acquaintance, PM away!

I'm kind of keen on everyone starting as a human, but let's see what happens. You might convince me to think otherwise.

Shonen Punk!

@KOgaming This is a difficult one. I'd like to say an original setting akin to multiverse since there will be various inspirations coming from different sources.

As for the power-ups, they'll both be gained and given. Power-ups can occurs as instant or gradual as needed; it really depends on what your character does.

An example would be Character A. Character A enjoys punching and that is his move of choice. He loves it so much that even when it doesn't make sense, he'd still turn to his fists. Him receiving some sort of blessing from a martial-art based diety wouldn't be that surprising.

@Masaki Haruna As tempting as that sounds, I'm currently watching my figure. We men have to be cautious too, you know.

Shonen Punk!

@KOgaming Ah, an interesting inquiry, friend.

In the past, my take with this RP was that of a gradual progression in the exploration of the unknown realm you shall be transported to paralleled with character build-up of similar pace. I've realized that was just too slow. And also, Shonen Punk was supposedly a guild that all would be a part off.

I might stray from that train of though, or stick with it, we'll never now. The only thing that I can ascertain is that I've decided to forego the slow stuff and head straight to the meat of the matter. Mostly events and milestones for your characters will be focused on instead of just the mundane.

Did I do good with that answer? Good enough to get a cookie?

Shonen Punk!

@Dusksong@CharmingDevil@Masaki Haruna@Masaki Haruna@RoflsMazoy@GreenGoat@Hippocamp@Rin are the names of those chosen by fate. Or at least those who showed interest in being chosen by fate. I'm not that picky, so I'll take what I can get.

You've taken the bait, time to reel you in with some Q & A.

The Questions
I present myself, unto all of you, go forth and bombard me with your questions. What information do you seek? Tell me what I need to tell you!

There are things that should be kept secret, but I shall divulge what I can. The premise I've shown you is that of normal, albeit beautiful and handsome, individuals such as yourselves, being brought to a (shonen-esque) world unknown.

Special Mentions - @RoflsMazoy
My apologies, friend. As much as I want to answer your question, I believe I cannot until I actually see/read what you're planning.
