Gettin' Jiggy

[Lillith Ackerman]

G'day all,

Well, I have left my charrie fairly open so she can mesh in with other characters. From what I can understand with the main plot, the focus is on the Gates and them being connected to other worlds. There are only two races (as stated) and a possible third. (I can only guess these will be the villains of the board and the main reason why the Gates are protected.)

So, there are a few things to work with there already. How would your character react to going through a portal and going to a different world?

How about personal relationships and possible conflict between characters? Lets try and give each other some direction when it comes to interaction, yeah? (Not wanting to plan each movement! Just trying to jig some peeps into action.)

I think I love you.

And great idea!! You are dead on on every point you made, too.

Sounds like a good idea, I don't know my two characters enough yet to know how they would react to new worlds =P.

I'm rather curious as to exactly where this Rp is going, obviously Jumpers in each world will be found, but then what, will every member who joins be able to 'jump', or with they help or hinder them and gatekeepers. Prehaps I'm getting a bit a head of my self and should go with the flow, but if you do have a plan I am curious to know what it is...and if you don't maybe we can help you brainstorm.

There's no reason to not tell you guys where it's going, so I'll type it all out right here.

This RP is based on a book I'm trying to write, so I obviously have plans for it, but they are quite flexible and very alterable. I have no issues editing the storyline if it proves too complex for the board, or if you guys have a much better, cooler idea. I may even change the book's storyline!

Basically what we have is eight Worlds, two of which have died. We have three races, humans, Gatekeepers, and Lothosi. The Gatekeepers are trying to keep the Worlds from ripping apart, the Lothosi are accelerating the process.

The Lothosi can be imprisoned by magical means, and enslaved. This is extremely hard to do, because they are immensely powerful, but it has been managed before. However, if an imprisoned Lothosi escapes it can cause the death of the World it is on. This is what happened to both Maldoc and Xerxes.

Berkeley is going to be the pivotal World in the storyline, since I have it mapped out and thought out the most. On Berkeley, there are three imprisoned Lothosi. This is unheard of, and even Xerxes and Maldoc each only had one. Since one Lothosi is enough to kill a World, three would devastate one. This is bad, because Reality is currently depending on Berkelely to hold it up. If Berkeley dies, Reality will collapse on itself and take all the other Worlds with it.

So basically, so far as I've planned out, it's going to be a battle for Berkeley's future. The Lothosi will try to free the imprisoned three, the Gatekeepers will try to stop them, and both of those races will try to all Jumpers onto their side to help them.

If you have any suggestions, comments, or critiques go ahead, I'd love them!

[Heidrun]

So new members can join the quest to save Berkeley? Sounds good, but what about the people in other worlds? Maybe if it's not too lame they could slowly form a society in each world, not nessisarly just consisting of jumpers, but ordinary folk as well, who work to protect their world.

[Daedel]

That's a good idea too! I need plots like that to encourage people to become just regular people instead of Jumpers. I put a new segment into the application form, to see if they want to side with the Gatekeepers or the Lothosi, so that might help a little.
