    Deep in the strand of time and space, a maelstrom rages. One of many colors, forms, and auras. Everything that has existed in the knowledge of the overall dimensional body as we know it, though nobody actually knows about it.

    This point in the time continuum is where all creation meet. And it is about to break apart, forcing all creations to be scattered, their forms bastardized by the sheer force of such an incoming wave. The maelstrom has seen this. It has forseen it. And now it knows what it must do.

    Worlds and multiverses, formed by many imaginative minds. Every time one extends his thoughts beyond the norm, thousands of these worlds are made. However, many of them die as the ideas wane and wander in one's mind, finally dissipating into nothingness, the forgotten, the ignored.

    These worlds, though nonexistant in memory, exists in the maelstrom. Their instability has, in turn, made the maelstrom unstable. To upkeep its own stability, the maelstrom had to make those 'incompletes' true by distilling similar, complete worlds into them to lessen, but not nullify the strain. Thus it is made. However, now the strain of incomplete worlds are too great.

    The maelstrom has frantically lashed out, in the attempt of gathering beings to dispel the curse of these incompletes. The strands of fate are out and about, and like a spider web, they will catch those who are unaware..

    ---------------

    This is a world-travelling sort of RP, though the characters need not to haev the ability. And the time era is infinitely extended... one can have a caveman while another can have a futuristic general. However, balance will always be kept, if not by common sense then by the 'wizard who did it'. :d

    Though worlds of both my design and worlds that we already know from games and shows and books and such will be used, know that I prefer game and original worlds... I haven't watched enough comprehensive anime to go there... yet. ;P

    ----------------

    Well, the signup is typical if anything. Basically..

    Simple enough, no? You can create your own world for a purpose, as well as a time era, but you would have to describe it. After all, I can't pull stuff from places I do not know off that would please everyone.

    Name: Alexis the Knife
    Age: 21
    Race: A mongrel breed, a cross of human with something else
    Description: He wears heavy clothes, usually of dull or dark colours. His eyes are a fierce gold colour flecked with black. His hair is black, and falls straight in clumps to just under his ears. He has some scars dispersed around his body, the most notable of which is a cluster of 7 intersecting lines on his shoulder, which looks deliberate. He's rugged, and it would seem that he has a tendency to stare.
    Biography: Alexis was a foundling, which is why nobody is especially sure of his heritage. He was raised in a rural encampment that consisted mostly of warrior-folk and their wives. He often got into fights that he could not win as a child, always wanting to prove himself.
    Later on in life, he took to wandering, as most do, and lived alone wherever he went. He could sometimes be found in cities, stocking up on supplies or having an argument.
    Time Era: Steampunk
    Homeworld: The Rankan Empire (As created by Robert Asprin for 'Thieves' World' and 'Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn'. More details as requested.)
    Equipment/Quirks/Etc.: As his name suggests, Alexis carries a weighted blade about 1'3" long. He wears a thin metal breastplate beneath his clothes and always looks as if he's sizing people up, spoiling for a fight.
    His gaze is always insolant, and he doesn't take orders well. He prefers to take control in any given situation rather than leaving decisions up to others. He's disagreeable, but has a cutting sense of humour at times.
    Occasionally, he'll take a shine to someone, and would be willing to defend them to the death. He's a good person to have as a friend. He's a bit of a skeptic, but in dire situations, he has the grit to survive. 'Never say die unless you're talking about your opponent' is one of his favourite phrases. He's pretty sharp, but he has very little social skills, and tends to take things the wrong way sometimes.

    On 3, when you put 3] Neither, it means that they are even, more or less. Assuming that that's what you want, you may now make your scenario. Since I don't have my stat-gen file (other computer has gone whack), the stats will have to wait a while, sorry. <_<
