<<BEGIN AGAIN>>
<<The Story of the Forgotten>>

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." - James 1-2:4

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>Blankness. Confusion. The sound of the trees caressing the branches of eachother in the wind, and the smell of the pure green of grass, combined with infusions of the salt of the sea. A patch of dried grass bristles against your back, and it wants you to get up. Only then do you see your skin, your hands, your legs, and begin to remind yourself that you are part of an advanced ecosystem. Homo sapien. Human. That is what you are, and that is all you can remember.

Your wooded surroundings barely matter to you. You can see other homo sapiens awakening, and beginning to realise their own existence too. Grass. Dirt. Bark. Leaves. Words begin to flood into your head, familiar words spoken in the tongue of English. How can you come to terms with the objects around you, yet at the same time not know who you are, or where you are? The white cotton shirt; the white cotton trousers, both are worn as if to mock and add to your already huge pile of confusion. A leather bag by your feet, stained with the earth - the earth that seemed somewhat... untrue to the grains of crushed minerals you were used to. What was it about this world that made it look the same, yet it didn't feel the same? And... how could you remember fragments of your old world?

You question your own mind what to do next. But you are your own mind. You know it is your choice what to do: this isn't some dream. Like a dream, but like a nightmare at the same time.

Perhaps the others around you might know more.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

What This Is

Begin Again is going to be as the title suggests. You're going to go on a journey with a character who knows nothing about themselves, and is clueless to most skills other than how to speak English, and how to identify objects. This game will be all about progression, and choosing your own path. Many choices will be laid in front of your character for you to decide how they react, and the development of your character will be from nothing to a complex and developed character.

And the world? Well, I'll leave that for you to go and explore. But this isn't an ordinary world. You will discover and learn many things; some of which you never thought would be possible. Some of you may try and unlock the secrets of magic to bend elements to your will, whilst others may pursue strong materials to build and create weapons with. Like I said: this RP is going to be all about choice and development.

Survival is the key aspect of this game. You will need to craft in this new world to survive. Food, water, and warmer clothes is a must - use your own creativity (to a realistic extent) to create things such as traps, shelters, whatever will make your survival more comfortable to you. You may find treasures that can aid your progression, or discover secrets beneath the Earth that will make you rocket through the tiers of survival.

Whilst this RP is going to appear simple and without much detail at first, it's going to evolve into more. A lot more. I don't want to give away too much detail, it'll be much more fun for you all to discover the world I've created as we go along.

To summarise, expect a survival RP with magic aspects, which centres around exploration and character development. Do you need to be an amazing RP'er to play this? No. I'm not necessarily looking for beautiful paragraphs that will bring a tear to my eye, I'm simply here for you all to enjoy yourselves.

Rules. Read Them.

01 - Thou shall not slay others of their kind without valid reasoning. (Don't be a jerk and kill everyone)
02 - Thou shall not try to create things from thin air. Those that do are merely hallucinating. (Don't Godmode)
03 - Thou shall not have a resemblance to a phallic object. (Don't be a dick.)
04 - Thou shall abide the words of the Lord that has bestowed this world upon them. (Respect the GM. Don't worship me though)
05 - Thou shall not allow the temptation of the devil - lust - to overthrow them. (Sex is allowed for having children only. Don't write about it like a porno.)
06 - Thou shall try to be clear-headed, and be perfectly understandable in their ways. (Tell me what you want to do in your posts. Bold helps.)
07 - Thou shall write the word: 'Pancakes' in purple writing at the bottom of their character sheet to prove to me they listen. (Write Pancakes at the bottom of your CS.)

Questions You Might Be Wondering

B-But Jakers, aren't you going to tell us the mechanics?
No. Not because I can't be bothered, but to leave it as a surprise. Not hyping up the best mechanics in the world here or anything, I just want to see you adapt to your situations adequately.

B-But Jakers, what if a scary wolf attacks me? Will I need to know some kind of combat mechanic?
Combat will be very self-explanatory, and you will learn spells and skills as you go along. It will all make sense in the IC, young one, fear not.

B-But Jakers, how am I meant to post? Am I meant to know anything about the world around me?
Basically, you don't know about yourself yet, but you'll still be able to talk and think like a normal person today would. You aren't cavemen/cavewomen, so don't worry about that! You're all just extremely confused, and wearing really unstylish t-shirts.

B-But Jakers, what if I can't think of what to post/I'm unable to post for some reason? Will you kill me?
Of course not! Just make sure you announce hiatuses here on the OOC, so I don't have to wait for you.

B-But Jakers, what if I went for a little while and now there's tons of posts?!

Fear not! Using my power as a GM, I will do everything I can do get you back on track. Whilst AFK from updates, I will not be harsh and say you got eaten by a wolf. I know timezones are a thing.

B-But Jakers, how often are you going to update this you sexy beast?
Once a day? Twice a day? Something around those lines. Updates will be dependant on what everyone's doing. If I'm just responding to basic dialogues with one of my NPC's, then it won't take long. Try to get a lot done in a non-combat post to make up for this slow update speed.

B-But Jakers, I didn't want to call you a sexy beast in that previous question, why did you make me say that?
This is a clear sign that I've ran out of questions that might be asked. If you have any more, don't be shy to ask to your heart's content in the OOC.

Character Sheets

A simple character sheet. Don't fill in things that I've already filled out, obviously. Remember to click [select] to copy the character sheet, then paste it to easily fill it out!

When choosing statistic strengths/weaknesses, here's a list of the ones you can pick:

Strength - Will allow harder hitting, the ability to carry more items, etc.
Endurance - Will allow to go through rough conditions, and keep going strong whilst hungry/thirsty/etc.
Dexterity - Will allow for more complex and precise tasks. Such as firing a bow, setting a trap, etc. Very useful for crafty types.
Agility - Will allow for faster running, increasing manoeuvrability, and improved abilities to move through rough terrain.
Intelligence - Will allow for improved understanding of the world, and the ability to learn new skills faster.
Spirit - Will allow for easier understanding of spells in the late game, and improved interactions with mystical creatures.

This spot will be reserved for a list of our humans in a quest to find who they are. Both the humans controlled by me - JCC's (Jakers controlled characters) - and the humans controlled by you - PCC's (Player controlled characters.)

Reserving spots from this point, asking questions or generally talking is perfectly fine. Go ahead!

Reserved without a doubt, because I love Jakers in a sexual way and would never not participate in any of his RPs.

Waffle pancakes.

FTFY.

I don't know what the fuck this is, but Pancakes had something to do with it.

I had free pancakes yesterday, pretty tasty.

And yeah, totally in.

Jakers · « **Reply #10 on:** March 04, 2015, 05:26:46 pm »

Great! Character sheets are up; I'm aware there isn't a lot of choice yet, but feel free to make your character look cool as you like, so long as it's human. Remember, you're all wearing white cotton shirts and white cotton pants, so don't go telling me you have a cool cowboy hat or awesome leather trenchcoat or something.

I recommend you edit your posts to add the character sheet in, so it's easier and doesn't clog up the OOC. Remember not to change what I've put for the name, karma, blah blah etc. If you're wondering how you're going to be a character without a name, then don't worry! Perhaps your nice friends in this strange new world will have lovely nicknames for you that you can use.
