Introduction:

Brink of Tomorrow, will be an innovative text-based role play in which the players will begin as a completely ordinary human character who live on the current day planet Earth. Events and circumstances will unfold that lead to certain rumors surfacing and players will be pulled out of their every day lives and thrust into world that was seemingly hidden beneath everyday society. Very little will be revealed at the opening of the scenes as no body truly knows what is going on behind the curtains, players will slowly discover through their character a world hidden beneath and away from the masses of the world. Elements of many genres, such as sci-fi and fantasy, will play their part in this adventure.

Rules:
1. This game will be conducted in a similar manner to tabletop role playing games, meaning that players play ONLY their character and the environment feedback is provided by the Dungeon Master/Storyteller etc. Power playing will not be tolerated.

2. Do not act out of character or use knowledge from outside of the game while playing your character. Doing so will lead to very bad things happening to your player, first with a warning and increasing in severity.

3. This game may have mature themes, so if you are young or sensitive to dark themes this may not be the game for you.

4. There will be some form of alignment based system that your actions and interactions with other players and even NPCs will affect in the long term how certain events play out and how certain aspects may develop along the way. Players won't know specifically the details but certain hints/clues will be posted as best as possible without giving away too much information.

5. Players must treat each other respectfully, even if their characters don't get along. Abuse of any player or of the organizer will be met with immediate dismissal from the game.

6. Have fun, play nice, and ask [Project Elysium] or any other player if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions.

In joining, you acknowledge and agree to follow these rules.

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: It looks good. I'd like to carry over my same character from the original.

2012-02-04 [Project Elysium]: I have no problem with that I do know I will reference some of mira's character build pages as a template to use here and will annotate credit for her.

2012-02-04 [AccountUnavaili able]: Looking good, I'm in if I can have my old character ^^

2012-02-04 [ZeoOfFire]: Well, my character got little more development than "Hello, I am Howell, I do Howell things" so I'd like to carry him on/start him again.

2012-02-04 [Evolution X]: I like my guy, since he's me.

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: I believe [Asdroth] also wants to keep the same character. He's helping a friend move this weekend, but I'll get him on this page when he's got some time.

2012-02-04 [Project Elysium]: I'm working on getting the character page up and running at the moment, might tweak it a little. But this should be up and running soonish. If anyone wants to help out let me know and msg me and we can figure out what we still need.

2012-02-04 [AccountUnavaili able]: I have a few mins to spare, if you wanted I could have a go at sprucing the page up a little?

2012-02-04 [AccountUnavaili able]: Sorry, couldn't help myself, hope it's ok...

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: Ooh, I like the banner :)

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: Do I have approval on the divider?

2012-02-04 [AccountUnavaili able]: Thank you :) and yes, I like it alot :D Although it's not my place to judge, this is Khalath's thing.

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: Khalath, that is basically what I would do to the wikis if you give me the go ahead. Just to break it up a bit and make it easier on the eye.
Let me know what you think.

2012-02-05 [Project Elysium]: Definitely works :) I like it, i'm working on the info for the character page so you can spruce that up in a bit.

2012-02-05 [Project Elysium]: Rough drafts up for character creation let me know if anything needs to be tweaked and if you know of a better character attribute model, thought of going a little bit different with a Strength, Constitution, Dexterity/Agility, Intelligence, Charisma, Perception/Wisdom, Luck model let me know what everyone thinks on whether it should be the proposed system or not.

2012-02-05 [~Valkyrie~]: I'm glad you like it. I'll give the other pages a quick going over for you then.
Luck is always a good one to have. My game group here discovered the Chaosian system (used with Call of Cthulhu)and we all swore we'd never play another game without some sort of improvised luck roll. :p

2012-02-05 [Project Elysium]: That's the idea would probably bump the total to 40 for attributes and add a luck stat, you wouldn't see anything all the time but those Oh crud moments and that lucky roll would be there for those clinchers.

2012-02-05 [~Valkyrie~]: yeah

2012-02-05 [Evolution X]: I will start editing my guy later, starting up essays today

2012-02-05 [Project Elysium]: That's fine, still tweaking the character page need every ones input. Do we keep the attribute as is? Or do we add another 'Luck' and bump the total stat points up to about 42?

2nd question is the skill subsection ya or nay? And if it does go in I might put it in as Specialization, sort of an area of study you really focused in on beyond any normal studies anybody would pick up through schooling. Thoughts? I.e. Martial arts of any form, a foreign language you speak fluently, computer skill programing/hacking, etc etc

2012-02-05 [~Valkyrie~]: I like the idea of a luck attribute, and I like the skills/specializations.

2012-02-05 [ZeoOfFire]: I like the attributes, and skills and shtuff

2012-02-05 [Project Elysium]: Which variation Zero of the attributes?

Need some input if we are putting skills in how you'd like that to be shown/seen. Do you want a few general skills that yoru good at? Or a particular subset that would be your Primary talent is. I.e. Computer Programming - would fall with repair, maitence, general electric theory, programming languages/coding, if you wanted it'd go into the security end like hacking and defending against etc.

2012-02-05 [Evolution X]: I like the idea of a luck skill.

2012-02-05 [Project Elysium]: Seeing how most like the idea of a luck based skill, how does everyone feel about a 42 point build then that should give you enough to distribute? Or would 40 points be better?

2012-02-05 [Evolution X]: 40 might make people a bit more honest and careful.

2012-02-06 [Project Elysium]: that's what I was thinking, need to update character page and get the rest of the information on there so we can get this rolling.

2012-02-06 [~Valkyrie~]: Ok...and I need to get Jeremy over here...

2012-02-06 [Evolution X]: I think I'll do it tomorrow. maybe. Lots of work. essays essays.

2012-02-06 [Project Elysium]: that's fine I'm thinking if we can get most of the details laid out during the week and get some semblance of starting areas etc nailed out in rough drafts we can use next weekend to fine tune all the details.

2012-02-06 [Asdroth]: I like what I see

2012-02-06 [ZeoOfFire]: Tonight or Tomorrow for my profile.

2012-02-06 [Project Elysium]: Its 40 point build with the final stat being luck plan accordingly

2012-02-07 [~Valkyrie~]: I have edited my bio for Angel “Ann” Klein. I believe she is ready.

2012-02-07 [Asdroth]: i guess i should post Tosh...

2012-02-07 [~Valkyrie~]: You should edit him slightly first, but yes. :)
Alignment and a luck stat has been added to the bio format and it's now a 40 point build. Just in case you didn't see that, because it's not on the character page yet.

2012-02-07 [Asdroth]: that is a bit of a change.

2012-02-07 [Project Elysium]: Updated character creation page, still debating skills and how to easily implement them. Might for the time being leave them out, and have it develop as we RP.

2012-02-07 [~Valkyrie~]: I think the way Mira had it was alright, just write down a few things your character is good at.

2012-02-07 [Asdroth]: So that a character at the age of 28 would be assumed to have never learned and honed there own personal skills. That makes verru little scents. Just pointing it out.

2012-02-07 [AccountUnavaili able]: I think it's good to make a note of them, use them to define our characters, however making your character advanced in all of their skills (regardless of their occupation or time spent on them) should be kept to a minimum, just because they're no fun to rp or rp with.

2012-02-07 [AccountUnavaili able]: Also what needs doing? I have some free time tomorrow so I can knock up any pages that need doing, wanna get this thing up and running asap.

2012-02-07 [~Valkyrie~]: o.O "I can knock up any pages that need doing" ...I've spent too much time around Matt and Jeremy... :p

2012-02-07 [AccountUnavaili able]: ... I'm confused? :P

2012-02-07 [~Valkyrie~]: Nevermind.
I can't believe they got the innocent home-school child seeing innuendo where no one else does.

2012-02-07 [Project Elysium]: I think just character updates, skills, then the starting pages and that should be it. Less there is something else I am missing??

2012-02-08 [ZeoOfFire]: Howell Duggan I literally only changed my picture, but yeah, will update stuff. I really need to.

2012-02-08 [Evolution X]: So... skills stuff?
Also: Thomas Burd

2012-02-08 [Project Elysium]: Probably go with the way Mira had it set up on Worlds Between

2012-02-08 [Asdroth]: sweet. looks like there is a good following.

2012-02-08 [Evolution X]: Ha. I'm the only one not with average luck so far. ^_^

2012-02-08 [Project Elysium]: Oh btw a word of warning, barring extenuating circumstances (ie school finals, or vacation) there is a 48hr or so limit before we move on without you, or I post for you if it is critical.

2012-02-08 [Evolution X]: I try to post regularly. Might have to kick zeo's ass to do it more

2012-02-08 [Asdroth]: I will let you know in advance if I am going to miss that hit time. As sad as this may sound. I am stationed in Fort Riley. if you dont know I am in KS. I live off of my ET Posts.

2012-02-08 [Project Elysium]: The 48 isn't set in stone but more of a warning that we may move on if a player cannot make it.

2012-02-08 [Asdroth]: it works. so when is kick off?

2012-02-08 [Project Elysium]: Barring any unforeseen complications hopefully this weekend.

2012-02-08 [Asdroth]: sweet!

2012-02-08 [Project Elysium]: By the by in lieu of that let's take a head count. Who all is in?

2012-02-08 [~Valkyrie~]: I am

2012-02-08 [Asdroth]: Kill!

2012-02-08 [Evolution X]: Me.

2012-02-08 [~Valkyrie~]: *shakes my head and laughs at Asdroth* That is what 4 months with Cav Drill Sergeants will do to you. :p

2012-02-08 [AccountUnavaili able]: Me :D Let's do this! *Jumps and fist pumps, freezing in midair*

2012-02-08 [~Valkyrie~]: *laughs* You missed Angel "Ann" Klein and Gabriel Tosh

2012-02-08 [AccountUnavaili able]: Sorry, I had no idea's what anybody's characters were apart from my own and the ones that were posted in the comments that said they were ready :P was hoping people would follow and put their characters up when they were ready :)

2012-02-08 [~Valkyrie~]: Ohhh, I thought Khalath had put them up, I didn't want to step on any toes by putting them up myself, I'll do that now though.
And they were in the comment boxes, they're just up higher than it shows now.

2012-02-08 [AccountUnavaili able]: Ah ok, apologies, I didn't see them, also I didn't wanna bother anyone either, but I want stuff moving on :P

2012-02-08 [~Valkyrie~]: Yeah, I feel the same way.
By the way, Khalath suggested that I put together the intro scenes. You guys want Sean, Thomas, and Howell to start together again, correct?

2012-02-08 [Project Elysium]: I would like to know who might be near who first off I have my own quasi planned out, and can help with any others.

2012-02-08 [~Valkyrie~]: Those three are all friends living in Whales, unless the've changed something. My character is in Pennsylvania, and Asdroth's is in Kansas. Let me know what you want me to do.

2012-02-09 [ZeoOfFire]: Wales* the place, not Whales the giant sea mammal, but yes :P

2012-02-09 [~Valkyrie~]: ...sorry

2012-02-09 [ZeoOfFire]: ...angel's page be empty, and mine is now up to date

2012-02-09 [Project Elysium]: hmmm Angel once your character is up MSG me about your opening scene. The guys in Wales I have a idea for and will post it up, need to know if you are all gonna start out like you did in Mira's or if you are gonna not be in the same place?

Asdroth I'm tweaking at the moment and will msg him to fine tune some details in the coming days.

2012-02-09 [~Valkyrie~]: I don't know what I keep doing wrong when I type the link, I fixed it. Yeah, I'll be in the same place, unless you have a better idea

2012-02-09 [Asdroth]: What on my sheet needs tweaking, Khalath?

2012-02-09 [Evolution X]: Might as well start in the same place. I mean, we do hang out rather a lot at my place.

2012-02-09 [Project Elysium]: Alright I'm working on your guys intro Evo, should be ready by the weekend, just fine tuning the details.

Asdroth your character still needs a alignment but that's a minor detail. Only other thing is figuring if your on deployment or home at whatever base the Cav is stationed at.

2012-02-09 [~Valkyrie~]: That unit is in Ft Riley Kansas, it's his current duty station. Deployment is an in-game option though... I'll get Asdroth to get his rear-end back online once he's off work. :p

2012-02-10 [Asdroth]: He is on deployment it the horn of Africa. He is with 4-4 cav. Pail Riders, and Regulators.

2012-02-10 [Project Elysium]: Hope all are ready will begin opening scenes tomorrow sometime. Or Saturday at the latest.

2012-02-10 [Asdroth]: YAY!

2012-02-10 [Project Elysium]: Oh one other thing setting is going to be early summer figure late may early june timeframe

2012-02-11 [Project Elysium]: Rough drafts for Gabriel and those in Wales is up.

2012-02-11 [~Valkyrie~]: W-wah-what about Ann? :'(
:p

2012-02-11 [Project Elysium]: HAven't gotten there yet and not sure where to start you out. The others where sort of easy, I'm sorta stuck for you. :(

2012-02-11 [~Valkyrie~]: Well, she's got school and work.

2012-02-11 [Project Elysium]: hmmm give me a day or so and I'll whip something up. What do you think of the the other two?

2012-02-11 [~Valkyrie~]: They look interesting. :)

2012-02-11 [Project Elysium]: :D Just wait till you see where they evolve too. I think they'll have you laughing

2012-02-11 [~Valkyrie~]: Cool. :)

2012-02-11 [Project Elysium]: gonna try and get yours' up tomorrow Angel as well as get my character up and running

2012-02-11 [Asdroth]: shweet!

2012-02-11 [~Valkyrie~]: Cool. :)

2012-02-11 [Project Elysium]: Have a rough outline right now for it and going to be putting it to paper, what is your Major for this character?

2012-02-11 [~Valkyrie~]: History, focusing on Ancient Egyptian Mythology.

2012-02-11 [Project Elysium]: Your intro is up! Gonna be a kind of filler for a little bit as I figure out how to tie you in to the rest.

2012-02-12 [~Valkyrie~]: Alrighty. :)

2012-02-12 [Asdroth]: why is my intro on pause??

2012-02-12 [Project Elysium]: What do you mean Asdroth?

2012-02-12 [Asdroth]: I posted but nothing happened after. lol. I am just being annoying

2012-02-12 [Project Elysium]: :P I just updated working on getting you all smooth rolling if its alittle boring in the beginning it's just trying to set up some story and how to integrate characters together.

2012-02-12 [Asdroth]: I understand I was just trying to be funny.

2012-02-12 [Project Elysium]: I know man and it was humorous just took me a second to catch it between the lines. ;) BTW Asdroth, I need some info on missions and what not you'd run with the 4-4 so I can better play out your scene. Msg me with some details if you could.

2012-02-12 [Project Elysium]: One other thing can you do like the guys are doing in the Euro intro and bold your names so it's easier to see who's talking and where?

2012-02-12 [Asdroth]: too easy buddy! I am on it now!

2012-02-12 [Project Elysium]: Figured it was easy man :D

2012-02-21 [Project Elysium]: Updates may be a little slow this week, work picked up so I might not have much free time. I'm going to try and update each post sometime in the next day or so and also get the story moving on.

2012-02-21 [~Valkyrie~]: Sounds good. Hope all goes well.

2012-04-06 [Project Elysium]: Updates to all pages tomorrow/Saturday at the latest be ready to kick it back in gear. As soon as I sleep off my jet lag I'm hitting the ground running.

2012-04-06 [~Valkyrie~]: Yay! :)

2012-06-11 [Project Elysium]: Sorry about the disapperance, comp died for a bit had to work some magic. But i'm back and ready to roll, I've got the ideas written down how to start tying things together so updates should be more common place.

2012-06-11 [ZeoOfFire]: woop woop!

2013-02-01 [Project Elysium]: Just a show of hands who all is still around and wanting to keep this going?

2013-02-07 [ZeoOfFire]: I'm not on as often as I'd like to be, but I'm still up for this!

2013-02-07 [~Valkyrie~]: I'm still interested, and I think Asdroth is too.

2013-02-15 [Project Elysium]: Mmmk, give me day or two and I'll look over the pages, see what's up dated. Zeo, any chance you can see if your other two friends are still around?

2013-02-15 [~Valkyrie~]: They're around, I'm in a couple other roleplays with the lot of them

2013-02-16 [Project Elysium]: Mmmk, just getting the post cleaned up I wanna add and what have you hope to have this up and running again.

2013-02-17 [ZeoOfFire]: Well, Evolution X is around, but Valera might be gone, I'm unsure

2013-02-17 [Evolution X]: Valera hasn't been on in ages...

2013-02-17 [ZeoOfFire]: Indeeeeed...You still up for it though?
As for Val's character, we could ret-con him out by ignoring his existence, or we could kill him off, but that could lead to a fuck-ton of drama we don't want

2013-02-17 [Evolution X]: Sure

2013-02-18 [Project Elysium]: Well you guys were at a part that he can be quasi-written out and easily bought back if he does show up. Probably with this information have each of you split off into a separate page for a little bit for ease of transition.

2013-02-19 [ZeoOfFire]: sounds like a plan

2013-03-27 [Project Elysium]: Hey to those guys and gals still watching this, I've realized after alot of introspection that I couldn't really pull this off the way I wanted to, and still keep a character going. Maybe it was branching off into too many things and not quickly tying them together. Or perhaps it's real life that caught up to me. But currently as it stands as is, it's done. However, I've been dabbling for a D&D campaign with some friends and I have weaved a pretty nice tale/start up story. So, was thinking if anyone IS interested I can throw that up here on these pages. However, if not I'm probably just going to wipe these pages/or use them for storyboarding of the D&D campaign i'm working on.
