    Hello and Welcome to the OoC thread of Member Quest

    The plot is simple.

    You are gods. You create you destroy, you shape all the world with a mere thought. A million cosmoses are born and crushed in instance from you whimsey. Right now you are bored. You wish nothing but to be entertained, but with omnipotence comes the curse of boredom. To alleviate this you shall limit your powers and create something special, you don't mearly wish to watch others anymore but to partake in the adventures and trials and tribulations you inflict upon your heros. To do this you create an Avatar, a being you sill split from yourself, it is you yet not. You shall drop this splinter into a world controlled by neutral forces to compete and interact with others like you.

    You shall abide by the simple rules of this game:

    Once you create your Avatar you can not use your godly powers to remake it. The goal is to entertain yourself, what fun is there if you simply will all obstacles away.

    You shall abide by the rulings of the Game Managers, they shall moderate this game and decide what shall happen in the plot.

    Players can do as they please so long as it is within their own power to do so. Some abilities may require a random factor such as DICE to allow for fair play, but feel free to help or murder each other as you wish~


    Here is the land that you shall inhabit for your stay.

    The world is chaotic, unstable, in truth it is not something that could have ever developed naturally.

    Because it didn't. While the people of this land have memories they do not truely have a past. For this land was created in an instant simply for this game. In this land there are 5 great powers.

    Atlantis; it is an island nation, isolated and free of many of the mythical beasts and magical powers naturally. The land itself is harsh to magic, both in law and in the very air which cast powerful resistance to it. It is ruled by great technologies, far beyond what can usually be seen in most base versions of Earth.

    Makai/The Netherworld/Hell/The Chrimson Lands: It goes by many names, in truth it is not a singular entity but a large collection of constantly warring fiefdoms. Here Magic rules, might makes right. Heros and villians of ancient times roam freely. The air is rich in Mana, so much so that spells can seem to be even stronger when cast in it's borders.

    Alterra: A catch all name for a group of nations from modern day earth that have been transplanted here roughly a century ago. It was rough for them to adjust and many of the original nations fell or were assimilated. As a matter of pragmatism they take both the powers of the mystical and those of technology they had and the ideas of other nations into themselves to gain enough power to survive. Most are allied but some do not see eye to eye.

    The Skism: They rule the underground, a colection of Dwarf gnome and elf nations, they vary greatly in many things.

    Laputa the flying Nation: An Ancient nation of many smaller islands that float upon the clouds, abandoned by their old founders and later recolonized. It is home to many great magics, artifacts and devastating weapons and tech far beyond any other nation. Many there are still trying to unlock it's mysteries and the other nations fight over rights to settle and conquer it.

    There are also many nameless unaffiliated nations in between, small towns, villages, and secret powers. Anything and everything is possible in this land of many lands. The Land of Aluvarna.






    But first before we can begin this one needs a few volunteers to help manage this game.

    Mark me interested. I won't co-GM it, too much to do already, but I think I will play.

    3 quests plus other games online -_-

    I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

    I too am interested, as a player. One quest is enough to gm for me. And yes, some rules for character creation would be useful.

    The rules are not much different than those of it's base, An Avatar is You. Rather than simply being their avatars though the default is you, the creators, have simply split a piece off yourself and inserted it into Aluvarna. This piece can your avatar, you, your online persona with or without your memories, yourself in the avatar's body, or anything in between. The goal of the thread is, do have fun! And write interesting stories for everyone to enjoy. There is no limit to the amount of people allowed in. Anyone is welcome. There is no long entry examination, simply post here, get a bit of approval, pick your location, and jump in!

    Generally though you should be have all a basic synopsis of your character beforehand with all their powers and most of their history. If you have something you wish to keep hidden from the other players but don't want it too seem cheap if you pull it off later just pm one of the GMs here with it uppon either creation or when you get the power. Any power you wish you can apply to your character upon it's inception, though for competitive reasons please use some form of discretion.

    This world is blank so far feel free to fill in some background while you create your pawns in this game of gods.

    And finally a warning. The GMs while supposedly neutral may not all see eye to eye, they are all equal in power with no restraint against each other. This is simply another level of play, feel free to ally or rebel against certain ones, but beware both their wrath and favor...

    Here are some examples of characters

    Demon Lord Lomasi The Lord of Terror:
    A secretive entity who has claimed the thrown to Makai largest providence 6 centuries past. Unlike the past Demon Lords who were either content to simply live in luxury or led a path of war Lomasi has earned the title Lord of Terror for the horrible genocides done within his own kingdom. No simply a single clan nor even dissenters but everyone within it's borders. No one knows the reason for this, and knowledge about him is scarce since so few survive. What is known is that He is capable of seemingly being able to painfully rip the souls out of bodies to feed to his demonic tome. The once ripe with life lands are now a barren desert completely void of any life.



    Larker Hawkins: Male
    Species: Human
    Class: Gadgeteer [Stitchpunk/steampunk]
    A mad inventor from the Schism who simply creates mechanical life as he pleases. Once a lonely toymaker he sought to make himself a family and succeeded. He controls a virtual army of dolls though most have hardly any combat effectiveness. Is something strikes his fancy than he does it regardless of the situation. He has been credited with the Replicator uprising in which he made a small spider like toy programed to replicate itself infinitely. When questioned he answered 'It seemed like a good idea at the time.'


    DORTHY: A female doll found wondering the main island of Laputa. Has no memory of who she was and only recalls ever searching through the ruins though for what she was never certain of. As a Robot of Laputa she has great strength, speed, coordination, and is capable of synching up to some of it's lost tech though it is limited.


    Squirrelly: a modern day girl brought into this strange world an accident in an Atlantian lab, simply chooses to go by the name Squirrelly. Has no known powers herself but is a martial artist Mr. Welch would be proud of and has been given an Exosuit by an Atlantian doctor which augments physical abilities, projects inertial dampeners, creates a subspace pocket, various scanners, and translates for her. Tends to hang around the Ninja Himura.

    Himura is a Ninja from Alterra. Not much is really know about him or her, because Himura is a ninja. What can be expected though is that Himura has 'leet Ninja skills' as Squirrelly puts it.
