OOC Introduction and Plotting Meme!

[kingdom_mods]

Hello all, and welcome to Kingdoms! If you're interested in playing here, you've made it to the right place. Note that while this is up, we will still be working on getting the last few info pages, NPC accounts, and odds and ends finished; the game itself will be open in the next week or two. We will make an official plurk announcement when we have a surefire date. However, we want you all to have plenty of time to consider who you'd like to play as well as time to meet with those whom you'll be playing off of. If you're interested in seeing all the game information that's available right now, you're more than welcome to check out our directory!


This particular meme has two main functions. The first is pretty self explanatory: it's a chance to introduce yourselves and the character(s) you've decided on/are considering playing! The second half is to inform you guys of the introduction plot, as it's a little different from what will normally happen whenever someone joins or brings in a new character. Players will have ample time to plot out the generals and specifics of what they'd like their characters to do and who they'd like their characters to meet!

So, what exactly is this introduction plot? Simply, it's a way for everyone's characters --regardless of kingdom affiliation-- to have a chance to meet and make connections.

How's this possible? Well, we hate to break it to you, but magic isn't always sparkles and pumpkin juice. It's a finicky art, and in this case, the spell's words are muddled and scrambled by the wear and tear on the ancient, faded scrolls. The wizards in each kingdom --unbeknownst to one another or to themselves-- have successfully summoned your characters to the world of Kingdoms. Specifically what they don't realize is that everyone in the first wave of The Summoned has been deposited at the exact spot where the four states' boarders meet.

The Summoned will have a bit of time to kill until the wizards can figure out why the characters weren't brought directly to their own kingdoms. This will give The Summoned time to meet, converse, mingle, try to find answers, perhaps even attempt to return to their own realities or contact their people back home (both of which are, sadly, impossible). At the exact moment an hour has passed, the wizards will find what they misread/misinterpreted and right the part of the spell they cast wrong; at that moment, all of The Summoned will vanish in a flash of light and reawaken in the town squares of their respective kingdoms.

After their official introduction and induction to their new homes (which will differ from kingdom to kingdom), The Summoned belonging to the same kingdom will have a second chance to meet, converse, and bond (or, you know... start scheming a break out).

Specifics and other details will provided in the actual intro event post.

Now that you know what you're in for, why don't you say hello? And remember, don't be shy! There are sure to be some names and characters you don't recognize, but don't be afraid to say hello and ask about characters you're canon blind to. You never know; they might end up being some of your favorite cross-canon CR!

To get things started, here's a handy dandy text box with suggested topics to cover in your intros/plottings! Feel free to copy and paste!
