Worlds Between


Introduction:

Welcome to World's Between, an innovative text-based role play in which the players will begin as a completely ordinary human character who lives on the current day planet earth. Suddenly, they will be pulled out of their every day lives and thrust into wonderful and horrible worlds as they discover the power that is growing inside of them. Very little will be revealed at this point because the players will discover these new worlds through their character. 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.

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. 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.

5. Proper English will be used in every post. Typos and some grammatical errors are forgivable but please write full sentences, capitalize properly, and use appropriate detail.

6. Have fun, play nice, and ask [Mira Ravenheart] if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions.

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

2011-06-17 [Evolution X]: *thumb up* Interested!

2011-06-18 [Talos Cyrion]: definately interested!

2011-06-18 [Mira Ravenheart]: Yay! Can't wait to get this started!

2011-06-18 [~Valkyrie~]: Just let me know if there's anything you want help setting up.

2011-06-18 [Mira Ravenheart]: Thanks! Am I missing anything?

2011-06-18 [Evolution X]: I might be attractive extra interest in this page, just so you know >_>

2011-06-18 [Eyden13]: looks cool, but can you add a bit more information about what is going on.

2011-06-18 [Mira Ravenheart]: Hm, what do you want to know?

2011-06-18 [Mira Ravenheart]: I could tell you everything about all of the worlds, down to the political structure and languages, but I feel that would be ruining the surprise.

2011-06-18 [Eyden13]: lol, I don't need all that, just a bit more of the plot line. Like what is the conflict, why are they traveling, and a bit about were they are going to start off.

2011-06-18 [Mira Ravenheart]: I don't really believe in railroading roleplays. It's boring and predictable. I will give the players a world, and present a number of conflicts, and the players may choose their own side and approach to the game. But essentially, your characters will be going about their every day lives and begin to accumulate magical abilities. They will be pulled into a world of intrigue and inter-dimensional travel.

2011-06-18 [~Valkyrie~]: Then could you give us some general information about the world? Just some things characters would be likely to know, conflicts that might be pertinent to plot or characters' lives, things like that.

2011-06-18 [Evolution X]: I think the point is that we start with normal people... sometimes yourself... and you LEAVE the normal world and go into a strange/frightening one... so if we had all that information we still couldn't use it without seeming obvious.

2011-06-18 [~Valkyrie~]: Ah, good point. I'd missed that. *continues pondering character concept*

2011-06-19 [Eyden13]: oh, Thank makes sense! I now see what your trying to do. I'm off character making! give me a couple days and if I don;t have a character remind me please!

2011-06-19 [Evolution X]: I've been helping my friends with a little character defining... the main problem so far is "how far am I on this slidey frame of points". Like... what does "wisdom" really mean? How clumsy do I have to be before I'm a 2 in dexterity? Where does the ability to carry TVs for extended periods fall on this scale of strength?

2011-06-19 [Mira Ravenheart]: Thanks [Evolution X], that is exactly the point :). With regards to the Wisdom etc, don't worry about that too much. They are just there to get you thinking about your character's strength and weaknesses so that you end up with a balanced character. Otherwise, these numbers will not be used. I will add more detail in the character form in the next few days to try to clarify. ^^

2011-06-19 [Mira Ravenheart]: And yay [Eyden13]! I look forward to seeing your character ^_^

2011-06-19 [Kahless]: i'll see what i can do.

2011-06-19 [Mira Ravenheart]: Woo!

2011-06-19 [ZeoOfFire]: Veeeery interested. Making a character, i.e. Writing about myself, now.
Oh, and, seeing as I'm a close friend of [Evolution X] in real life, would this therefore be reflected in the RP?

2011-06-19 [Eyden13]: not if you don't want it to

2011-06-19 [ZeoOfFire]: Probably would be easier to RP with him, but I don't mind.
Anyway, need to finish the character! :P

2011-06-20 [~Valkyrie~]: Yay! Zeo! :p

2011-06-20 [Mira Ravenheart]: Sure, you guys can definitely be friends in RP too :) (if you want to)

2011-06-20 [ZeoOfFire]: I find it amusing that I live within a few miles of the three currently listed charcters.

2011-06-20 [Evolution X]: Even less than miles... yeah, so far three young boys from wales have taken over this RP

2011-06-20 [Mira Ravenheart]: Haha, that'll work out well though ^_^. It'll be fun.

2011-06-20 [Mira Ravenheart]: I updated the intro blurb. Is that more clear now?

2011-06-20 [Mira Ravenheart]: I also updated the rules, just so you know :)

2011-06-20 [~Valkyrie~]: Aww, I kinda wish I lived closer to some people around here. *sigh* Can't figure out what kind of character to play...anyone have an idea for a type of person they'd like to see in the game? Maybe someone can come up with a new idea that would be a challenge to play?

2011-06-20 [Evolution X]: You could play yourself... >_>

2011-06-20 [~Valkyrie~]: I'm already doing that with Lou in the X-Men rp, I was kinda wanting to find a new idea, but I'm having trouble...
It occurred me to play a European, but I realize that I know little to nothing about Europe, and in a game where I'm playing with Europeans...yeah *laughs*

2011-06-21 [Evolution X]: Its still fun to play yourself... but you could make whomever you want!

2011-06-21 [~Valkyrie~]: *nods* Still thinking...

2011-06-21 [Talos Cyrion]: Hmm [Mira Ravenheart] can we have more than one character?

2011-06-21 [Asdroth]: Cool.

2011-06-22 [Mira Ravenheart]: Why don't we nail down one first, [Talos Cyrion], then we can talk about what other character you would like to play :)

2011-06-22 [ZeoOfFire]: Lotsa archers.

2011-06-22 [Evolution X]: ..... "don't worry! I'll run up and attack them with this big hammer I have. You lot... stand back here and try not to hit me."

2011-06-22 [Project Elysium]: Hmm starting up a new on are you? I'd definitely be interested cept I'm going to be on Vacation from the 2nd of July till about the 9th :P

2011-06-22 [Mira Ravenheart]: We can probably work around it :) I am also going on vacation in July unfortunately (or fortunately lol, it should be fun).

2011-06-22 [Project Elysium]: Yeah I have most of the character done just need to fill in a brief history and that should be it.

2011-06-24 [AccountUnavaili able]: Well I can give up on my archery, will have to think up another skill though...

2011-06-24 [Evolution X]: Super sexy good looks?

2011-06-27 [Evolution X]: ........ *stares at page*

2011-06-27 [Mira Ravenheart]: *stares at [Evolution X]*

2011-06-27 [AccountUnavaili able]: *Spins in chair going "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah."*

2011-06-27 [Evolution X]: *stares at Mira... prods Val's chair with a foot*

2011-06-28 [Project Elysium]: *throws volley after volley of water balloons at everyone then hides behind the tree line*

2011-06-28 [Evolution X]: *goes to boil a kettle of water* I know how to win water fights.

2011-06-29 [Evolution X]: ............ T^T

2011-07-03 [ZeoOfFire]: Woop, it's starting tomorrow! EXCITED! d(^.^)b

2011-07-03 [ZeoOfFire]: Donald's page is password protected. :(
Wanted to take a peek. :P

2011-07-03 [Mira Ravenheart]: Yes, I believe the player did not want other people seeing his character's stats just yet. I am sure you will meet his character soon enough in game though ^_^.

2011-07-03 [Evolution X]: *waves flag* Woo

2011-07-03 [Grimm2535]: Wanted to clean up my draft version a bit. Will un-password it shortly

2011-07-03 [Project Elysium]: Hehe should be a interesting read

2011-07-03 [Grimm2535]: Should be readable now.

2011-07-04 [Evolution X]: *bonks head on table* Gah

2011-07-04 [Mira Ravenheart]: Sorry. o.< We still have 3, possibly 4, people working on characters.

2011-07-04 [Evolution X]: ....... *bonks head on table again. harder*

2011-07-04 [Mira Ravenheart]: Sorry. o.< We still have 3, possibly 4, people working on characters.

2011-07-04 [Evolution X]: ............. *bonks head on table again. shaking table*

2011-07-04 [~Valkyrie~]: o.O

2011-07-04 [Evolution X]: I am a woodpecker <_> *bonk*

2011-07-04 [Project Elysium]: Hmm will be quite interesting to see how this takes off

2011-07-04 [~Valkyrie~]: I agree.

2011-07-04 [AccountUnavaili able]: I concur.

2011-07-04 [Evolution X]: snap.

2011-07-04 [ZeoOfFire]: ditto.

2011-07-04 [~Valkyrie~]: *waits impatiently* :p

2011-07-05 [AccountUnavaili able]: *Crawls into the foetal position and sucks thumb*

2011-07-05 [ZeoOfFire]: *foams at the mouth*

2011-07-06 [Evolution X]: *bonks head on floor* I'm a woodpecker! *bonks head again* cept with dirt!

2011-07-06 [~Valkyrie~]: ...A dirtpecker?

2011-07-06 [Evolution X]:

YES

2011-07-06 [~Valkyrie~]: *laughs*

2011-07-06 [Project Elysium]: Hmmm so you are the one responsible for all the holes in my grass in my yard..... *glares*

2011-07-06 [Evolution X]:

YES

2011-07-09 [Project Elysium]: *drums hand on a table looking out* Interesting motley crew we have gathering here.

2011-07-09 [Evolution X]: ........ *smacks head on floor again* Who's taking this long?

2011-07-09 [Project Elysium]: Well Mira said she'd be on Vacation too at some point this month possibly it's that?

2011-07-11 [Evolution X]: ......

*FLIP OUT*

2011-07-11 [Mira Ravenheart]: Yeah, I am waiting for a few players to finish up characters, but I may just start without them if they take much longer. Although [Grimm2535] and I will be away for a week starting on Thursday, so perhaps we should set a start time for when we get back.

2011-07-11 [Mira Ravenheart]: Calm down [Evolution X]:P

2011-07-11 [Evolution X]: Ok, if it's a week starting on thursday then I can wait that long... but seeeeeriously. I was going to enjoy this. And now it's just... waiting.

2011-07-11 [Mira Ravenheart]: I'm sorry it's taking so long to get characters from people. I gave you the option to start earlier, and you said no. If you don't want to play anymore, that's your choice.

2011-07-11 [Evolution X]: i want to play, but I have no idea what we would have RPed earlier. Other than just hanging out with people I hang out with anyway. I'm more wondering what's taking these people so long.

2011-07-12 [~Valkyrie~]: Could be simple as writer's block or not having much time to sit down and think of a good concept.

2011-07-22 [Project Elysium]: Is very curious to see how this all pulls together in the end.

2011-07-22 [Evolution X]: *is squirming on spot* Come oooooon...

2011-07-22 [ZeoOfFire]: Might I suggest that, if not ready by, say, Monday, that Evo, Val and I, and anyone else who's getting impatient, just start?
While yes, understandably, Evo Val and I are essentially going to be RPing hanging out, while probably actually hanging out, we'd probably be doing so even if we started later.
Any objections?

2011-07-22 [AccountUnavaili able]: I concur, however it may be less rping and more minuting.

2011-07-22 [ZeoOfFire]: Yeah, pretty much. Minuting, with more character introduction! :D

2011-07-22 [AccountUnavaili able]: And maybe something a little more interesting than playing yugioh...

2011-07-22 [Evolution X]: ............................. disgruntled celtic guardian.

2011-07-22 [ZeoOfFire]: I'm so disgruntled. Wait, no, there's no way we're starting that kind of spam again. >.>

2011-07-22 [~Valkyrie~]: What about me?! And here is where my fear of playing a character from a culture I don't know with players from that culture kicks me in the butt. :p

2011-07-22 [Evolution X]: don't be surprised if half of the posts are actually like this...

2011-07-22 [ZeoOfFire]: His Angel, like I said, anyone start, it's just a case of me, Evo and Val actually live down the road from each other, so yeah, hanging out, while RPing hanging out. Hanging out inception.

2011-07-23 [~Valkyrie~]: *laughs* Yeah, I know

2011-07-23 [Project Elysium]: Hmmm....

2011-07-24 [AccountUnavaili able]: So, are we testing Zeo's idea?

2011-07-24 [Evolution X]: unless this starts really really soon, sure

2011-07-25 [Mira Ravenheart]: Starting today, I promise :)

2011-07-25 [~Valkyrie~]: Yaay! :p

2011-07-25 [ZeoOfFire]: WOOOOOOOOP!

2011-07-25 [Asdroth]: My world is turned upside down... and I love it!

2011-07-28 [Evolution X]: ..... howell, sean and Tom have written so much complete and utter inane crap... we should really slow ourselves down.

2011-07-28 [ZeoOfFire]: Pshaw! We have much more inane crap we can spew!

2011-07-28 [~Valkyrie~]: *laughs* I'm sure you can, but Asdroth, Khalath, Talos, and I are all playing with people who live in different time zones. We can't spam the edit page button like you guys can. :p

2011-07-28 [Evolution X]: Hmmm.. Mira hasn't been on in over a day.

2011-07-28 [~Valkyrie~]: I noticed. *shrugs* Just because we have no lives outside of ET, doesn't me that she doesn't. :p

2011-07-29 [Talos Cyrion]: hey speak for yourself....though i think spending an entire afternoon painting a single model isn't much better....grant it i'm quite proud of it, but still

2011-07-29 [~Valkyrie~]: *smiles* Didn't necessarily intend to include you in that one. Ah, speaking of which...The 'Ard Boys tournament is coming up soon, I need to finish painting Jeremy's Space Marines so he can play. I finally figured out how to do colour washes. It makes me happy. :)

2011-07-29 [Asdroth]: Dang straight! My Chapter is sexy now! ;P

2011-07-29 [~Valkyrie~]: *laughs* Glad you're happy. :)

2011-07-29 [Evolution X]: Two days now... *chews lip* I just get nervous about these things. People disappearing without any warning.

2011-07-29 [Talos Cyrion]: Ya got one down here on saturday...can't decide if i want to be a cheese head an bring my grey knights that everyone hates, or my blood angles and watch everyone's look of horror as the dreadnaughts cut a blood swatch through their poor models....hmmm

2011-07-29 [~Valkyrie~]: I think Jem is trying to get away from running his Grey Knights, people panic and focus fire too much. Just about all they're good for now is a distraction.

2011-07-29 [Talos Cyrion]: they are amazing against orks...something about watching 45 models vanish before combat even begins is just...spectacular, that an the look of horror on peoples faces is priceless. I only run them in apocalypse games only cause that's when i can wreak havoc on reserves and run rings around hordes. Blood Angels are better suited for smaller games cause people can't keep up with them unless they are Dark Eldar (which i hate...then again i despise eldar in general) but that's what Death Company are for

2011-07-29 [Evolution X]: And we get the girl! Go team Venture! I mean... nerds.... woo.

2011-07-29 [Mira Ravenheart]: I thought that might get a good reaction :P

2011-07-29 [ZeoOfFire]: Hells yeah!

2011-08-11 [ZeoOfFire]: Hmm...Two Marcus people, this may be confusing. Particularly for the marcus intro page, unless it's Marcus meeting Marcus...CONFUSION

2011-08-11 [Mira Ravenheart]: Yeah I know >.< I pointed that out too. But they both wanted to be Marcus. We will work something out. When they are in the same page, we will have to add a last initial or something.

2011-08-12 [Zero X]: I actually am Marcus though =D

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: I shall call one Marcus and one "Dippy". You shall have to fight to the death to decide which is which!

2011-08-12 [Talos Cyrion]: Dippy?....lol, if it becomes to much of an issue i'm sure either Zero or myself can get creative with a name change

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: FIGHT TO THE DEATH!

2011-08-12 [Talos Cyrion]: what is it with you an to the death? What's next? Pizza to the death? (an American dad quote and yes i went there!)

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: Pizza to the death is an amazing concept which I shall gladly partake in.

2011-08-12 [Zero X]: You can either call me Hollywood or Uchiha =)either works.

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: Mwhahahaha, the name shall be swift and merciless.

2011-08-12 [Project Elysium]: *rings a bell while pulling a cart* Bring out your dead!

2011-08-12 [Talos Cyrion]: To the Death!!!!!

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: Deeeeeeath

2011-08-12 [~Valkyrie~]: o.O ...*laughs*

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: Yeah... i'm... nutso

2011-08-12 [~Valkyrie~]: Hey, that's a good quality. :p

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: Heh... not always

2011-08-12 [~Valkyrie~]: Usually.

2011-08-12 [Talos Cyrion]: @Evolution, you'd probably find my turning a Shot gun into a pyro blaster amusing....sooner or later i'll have a pic up of said contraption....provided i'm not to badly burned haha

2011-08-12 [Evolution X]: I usually enjoy quite a few things to do with fire and shotguns

2011-08-12 [Talos Cyrion]: i saw it on youtube, and my friend convinced me we should make them. They're (fittingly) call Dragons' Breath rounds. Basically you soak large ball bearings in sulfur, cram as many as you can into a shot shell, and watch whatever it is you shot at go up in a ball of flame...hmmm, probably shouldn't use them when i got bird hunting. Don't get me wrong watching dinner roast itself sounds great just not sure how well fish&game would take to it

2011-09-22 [Evolution X]: Oh dear... anyone know how to contact Mira?

2011-09-22 [Zero X]: She's busy with class and work and everything.

2011-09-22 [Evolution X]: ah..

2011-09-24 [Mira Ravenheart]: Yeah really sorry guys. Back in school. It's trying to eat my soul D:<. I'll post everywhere today though!.... after I nap.

2011-09-24 [Evolution X]: It's ok ^_^ Soul sucking school syndrome is a terrible one.

2011-09-24 [Mira Ravenheart]: There we go, all caught up.

2011-09-24 [~Valkyrie~]: Yay! :p

2011-09-24 [AccountUnavaili able]: Woo! Can me and Howell be next...

2012-02-03 [Asdroth]: holy shit basic is over! can I come back to playing Tosh?

2012-02-03 [~Valkyrie~]: Mira kinda shut this down...at least for the time being. I think she said she got too busy to run it. :(

2012-02-03 [Evolution X]: I really liked this...

2012-02-03 [Asdroth]: So did I before I had to leave for training.

2012-02-03 [ZeoOfFire]: ...same.

2012-02-03 [~Valkyrie~]: Me too :/

2012-02-03 [Evolution X]: She hasn't been on for 97 days though... seems to have completely given up on ET

2012-02-03 [~Valkyrie~]: :( ...Would anyone like to step up and take over running this? I doubt she'd mind, since she said she wouldn't be able to anymore.

2012-02-03 [ZeoOfFire]: I'd like to, as the idea seems fun to play with, and the prospect of having mini stories, as well as power development entices me, but I know I'm not the most reliable recently.

2012-02-03 [AccountUnavaili able]: Si, let's breathe life back into the ol' girl!

2012-02-03 [Project Elysium]: I'd be interested, however my advice is that you start this over all new. New page, and new everything, I know Mira wouldn't take very well to the fact we hijacked her project. I know she had a specific line that she wanted this to evolve too.

2012-02-03 [~Valkyrie~]: I think Khalath has a point.
Zeo, if you're worried, maybe you should have Evo or someone who you know IRL run it together with you. My ex and I ran an rp together and it worked really well because we could talk about it in person and we were both on the same page. It makes things run much smoother when one person can't be online for a while.

2012-02-04 [Project Elysium]: I wouldn't mind pitching in to get something up and running again, this was alot of fun for where it was.

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: I don't know that I could help run it right now, but I'd be more than happy to help get the wikis and such set up.

2012-02-04 [ZeoOfFire]: I'll help as best I can. I'm getting better at this whole "being online" thing. I think.

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: :) Let us how how you would like us to help.

2012-02-04 [ZeoOfFire]: Well...someone should nominate themselves to be leader.
I would, but as I say, I can suck. But if no-one else wants to, I'll do it.

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: If no one else speaks up, I'd say go for it.

2012-02-04 [Project Elysium]: I think we should figure out background etc and all that before electing who to 'DM'/narrate. I can set up some rough drafts tonight/tomorrow and then we can hash out the details?

2012-02-04 [Evolution X]: I could help...

2012-02-04 [Project Elysium]: Need a name to start this, any suggestions?

2012-02-04 [ZeoOfFire]: I dunno, I can occasionally pull names out out the ether, but they aren't great.

"Endless Lands"?
Or is that too close?

2012-02-04 [Project Elysium]: I think little to close.

How about 'Endless Travels' or 'Brink of Tomorrow' or 'Divine Prospects' or is that too.... religious??

2012-02-04 [~Valkyrie~]: I don't have any objections to religion, but I don't really see that fitting so well. I kinda like the "Brink of Tomorrow" idea.

2012-02-04 [Project Elysium]: Brink of Tomorrow is up and started, let me know any feedback and or changes you'd like to amend before doing so.

2014-07-10 [Mira Ravenheart]: Sorry for dropping the ball on this you guys. Life gets so busy :(. I'd really like to get back into it when I'm done my Masters in a few months. Anyone still here?

2014-07-10 [~Valkyrie~]: Yeah!
If you really think you will be able to get it back going, I would love to help. My husband is also looking for another game since he has a lot more free time than he expected during this deployment.

2014-07-10 [Evolution X]: I was actually thinking of this... but my two friends have left the site, sorry. Zeo and Val aren't on any more.

2014-07-10 [Project Elysium]: We can always just restart it and make things work again no? I'm sure Mira has all her notes ;)

2014-07-11 [~Valkyrie~]: Aww, I didn't realize they'd left ET all together. Well, hopefully we can get a couple new players, I will send the link to my husband and he should see it tomorrow. Worst comes to worst, it's just a small game.
