A Dreamer's Last Hope *OOC and Recruiting*
 
Intro

Dreams, they’re such a fleeting thing. There one moment gone the next. It is said that people will dream 4 to 6 times every night, but where do those dreams go every night when we’re done with them? A group of people are about to find out when their dreams just did not want to leave them behind.

Story

A group of people, complete strangers experienced what would happen if their dreams decided that they were not ready for them to leave. How is this? You may ask, well keep quiet and I shall tell you.

Our story takes place in many different places, but one place all at the same time. You, my friend, are the star of this show but you don’t even know what happened to you yet. Hush, hush, I know. Hold your horses; I’m getting to that part.

Days and nights go by, just like they’re supposed to. You dream, you have nightmares, but they always end once your eyes open to greet the morning. Not today though. Last night, your dreams were reaching out for you. They were not ready to let you go just yet. You went with them to the place where all dreams go when they fade away to be just a memory.

Aislinn is what this realm is known as and it is both as beautiful as dreams, but with the ugliness of the nightmares all wrapped up into one big package. Aislinn has recently been attacked by the nightmares. They are holding a revolt and the dreams need help. That is why they have brought you here.

You have been one of the few summoned forth to save this land and bring harmony back to the plains once again. How are you going to do this? Well, that’s up to you. You want to get out and go home? You may find those who can help you here, but remember they need help too. Or, let me ask you this. Are you going to want to leave?

Before you answer any of those questions, however, you may want to watch your back. More than that really. Watch your back, the shadows, and trust no one. The nightmares have caught wind of your arrival and they are too, seeking out your aid for this battle. You are a part of a great legacy. One that will change the tide of this evenly fought war. Both sides seek your help so whom shall you pick? Or will you have a choice? Because in dream land, remember, not all as it appears to be.

Ok, I’m breaking these rules into 3 sections. First, ‘So You Want to Join’, this is where you go if you are interested in joining the roleplay. It will breakdown what you need to do to get accepted and what we will and will not accept. Second will be, ‘What Is Expected of Me’, this is where you will find what we are looking for when it comes to our roleplayers. The final section is, ‘What Will get Me Booted?’ This one is self explanatory, confused? Read it and you’ll understand.


So You Want to Join
Here you will find what you need to do to join. Those rules will only appear here, but you may wish to check out the other sections if you wish to stick around. Anyway, on with the rules!

~Stick to the skeleton~
Do not change any part of it, it just gets confusing to move if you do.

~Only two people to pick~
Pm, yes, I said pm, your profiles to myself or Amber Absolution. If you are
denied by one of us, we will tell the other so we know.

~It’s not impossible~
If you are missing something in your profile we will let you know. We won’t
out right reject you for a little mistake.

~Be detailed~
Please make your profile detailed and entertaining to read. Do not send us a
7000 character bio that is way too much. Just give us a brief yet detailed bio
and personality. This will help us to determine your literacy.

~Attention to detail~
This little rule here is just for me to tell you to title your pm’s ‘Lookie I
Readeded Da Rules!’

~There will be no 'almighty' characters~
You cannot create all powerful characters. They cannot know every little thing
about every character and why what is happening is happening in crazy detail.




What is Expected of Me?
This is where you are going to find everything that you need to know about what we are looking for from you. This may help you decided if you wish to join or not.

~Literacy~
We are looking for at least one paragraph minimum. We want detail so others
can post off of it with their own details. We don't want just dialogue, we want
actions and of course detail!

~Activity~
Please post at least every other day. If you are gone for a week we will pm
you. If you are going to be gone let us know and if you get lost we can help
you.

~Respect~
Respect not only myself and Amber Absolution but everyone else in this
roleplay, including characters!

~You are not god!~
Amber and myself are 'god' in this roleplay. What we say goes, do not argue
with us. If you feel we may have treated you unfairly get a hold of one or the
other and we will try to figure it out.

~Maturity~
This is a PG-13 roleplay. There will be no explicite scenes. There will be no
sex. If it cannot be avoided do a time jump around it, there are many ways
to not include detail on the subject.

~More may be added~
If one of us feels that something has been left out we will add another rule.
It will be red in color so you know it is new.

~Follow ALL rules~
This should go without warning, but rules set by myself or Menewsha are to be
followed and respected.

~Be believable~
With your characters that is. If you are a peasant fighting a ninja or
assassian, you do not stand a chance. You may be able to defend a little but
you will not win the fight.

~Know the characters~
This goes with the above rule. If you have any questions let me know.

~Stay updated~
Check news/updates, I do use it. I will often post in the IC or OOC thread that
I have added something. Check her often just in case.

~Mistakes~
If you see any mistakes with these beginning posts let me know so I may fix
them please and thank you.




What Will Get Me Booted?
Here is where you will find what you have to do to get yourself kicked out of and black listed for this roleplay.

~3 strikes and you're out~
This is most important. You only get three warnings tops when it comes to
being kicked out. Amber and myself have the right to jump strikes depending
on the severity of the turmoil

~Failure to abide by rules~
If you break any of our rules you will get a warning or more. These will mostly
be sent by pm, but if the situation is too severe you will be warned in the
thread via OOC

~Failure to cooperate~
If you fail to recognize your rule breaking and do not apologize or correct said
mistake you will get a strike.

~Disrespect~
I will not put up with disrespect in the least. Do not questiong how you upset
someone, do not make it worse, apologize.

~Failure to control your character~
If your character begins to show 'god' symptoms where they know everything,
you will be warned.

Dreamers

Code:

[IMGLEFT](pic of character, anime may work best but any is ok)[/IMGLEFT]
[B]To whom it may concern,
Attached with this letter is a picture of my child[/B] (name).  (He/She) [B]is[/B] (age) [B]years old.  They have not yet woken up from their sleep a few nights ago and I fear the worst. 
I am writing this in hope that someone out there may be able to help me.[/B]  (name) [B] is my pride and joy though I may not show it all the time.  They are[/B] (personality).
[B]I have given[/B] (him/her) [B]the best I could in life.[/B] (History).
[B]They have been complaining about dreams though.  Odd dreams at that.  Ones that involve[/B] (some of their dreams, it will help the story and possible dream characters and yourself.  You may also include an different appearance or powers that they have in these dreams, they will follow over to their abilities in 'dream land'). [B]I did not know what to do about it though.

Please help my child, I am begging you.

Sincerely,[/B]

(username)

*Note* Characters can be any age, the whole 'child' thing was just easier to write at the time

Dreams/Nightmares

Code:

[IMGRIGHT](pic, doesn't matter what kind though anime may be easier[/IMGRIGHT]
[JUSTIFY][B]Yes, I am a dream and you better not forget that.  My name?  You wish you know my name.  I go by many names.  Names like[/B] (username)[B], but you may call me[/B] (name)[B].
Now while dreams do not technically have an age, I guess you could say I am[/B] (age appears to be).

[B]Now you wish to know of my life, my [I]imaginary[/I] life?  Goodness you are certainly full of questions, but very well.  I shall tell you.[/B]  (History, look to the dreamers if you need any help, make it known if you are a dream or nightmare too please, also this is where your powers go.  Don't go too crazy).

[B]And now I suppose you wish to know of what you can expect from me?  Fine.  But this is the last bit of information you are getting out of me.[/B]  (Personality)[/JUSTIFY]

Alrighty, this bad boy is
Officially Open!

Come on in and chat, if you have any questions feel free to ask ^^

halfbreedfox 03-28-2010 01:46 PM

Yay! This is exciting.

So who will be the first to post back at the RP thread?

And what on Earth are you saving up for?! lol.

ISOS Duke 03-28-2010 01:54 PM

I just don't want anything right now XP

And I want to get at least 1 or 2 dream people before we start, or I guess if we don't get them the dreamers could walk around lost and confused or something XP

halfbreedfox 03-29-2010 07:23 PM

I'm working on a Dream character right now, since we don't seem to be having much luck. lol. Hopefully one will get others to come. :3

ISOS Duke 03-29-2010 07:31 PM

Alrighty cool thanks ^^

halfbreedfox 03-29-2010 08:41 PM

So how is everybody doing? :3

ISOS Duke 03-29-2010 08:45 PM

I am doing pretty well myself, you?

halfbreedfox 03-29-2010 08:54 PM

Just trying to blow off steam. College is murder.
You must be very busy.

ISOS Duke 03-29-2010 08:58 PM

Oh geez, yeah college ^^;;
o.O Why must I be busy?

halfbreedfox 03-29-2010 09:03 PM

Running an RP, yada yada. You do other RPs as well. I've seen them on the forums. lol. :3

ISOS Duke 03-29-2010 09:04 PM

Psh, running one isn't hard and this one isn't really getting any people to join...
As for the others, that gets busy when everyone is online XP

halfbreedfox 03-29-2010 09:06 PM

I was thinking of starting my own RP, but I've been intimidated to begin one.

ISOS Duke 03-29-2010 09:20 PM

Really how come?
I can help you out if you like ^^

halfbreedfox 03-29-2010 09:23 PM

I'm just more personally interested in the fantasy genre. Had some thoughts of my own, and thought it would be nice to start running some of my own RPs. But I have a bad habit of leaving things unfinished.
Not to say your RP is uninteresting! Just wondering if I could keep up with more than one RP.

ISOS Duke 03-29-2010 09:41 PM

No, no I understand! And I know how starting your first RP goes, I was nervous as heck that it would fail ^^;;
Well if you need any help with anything when you choose to start one you can always ask me ^^

halfbreedfox 03-29-2010 09:42 PM

Thank you very much for the offer. It is a comfort.

Dare we wait for another dream character to appear to start the RP?

ISOS Duke 03-29-2010 09:47 PM

Hey no problem ^^

I would like to, but I am still pondering the idea...

CrownofEblan 04-08-2010 02:33 AM

Just wanted to say that I'll be on a trip starting Thursday afternoon and I won't be arriving back until late Saturday eveneing. Even if I do manage to get on and post, the system I will be using has a serverly restricted character allowance, so it's probable that I won't attempt. Sorry for any inconvienence!

ISOS Duke 04-08-2010 02:41 AM

Enjoy your trip and thanks for letting us know ^^

Daeman35 04-08-2010 02:48 AM

Sorry sam... I cant think of anything to write for the rp... I feel like ive stalled to many people.

ISOS Duke 04-08-2010 02:51 AM

Haha that's ok XP You can wait till more people post if you want ^^
