AboutAbout this Journal:
This Community is a MEMBERS ONLY RPG or Role Playing Game. All characters for all 'verses are welcome as long as you follow our rules for setting up your identity and everything is in order.
The basic working premise of the RPG is that a global disaster has caused the complete destruction of the planet Earth; one of the infinite number which all exist in the same time and place only in alternate dimensions.
The destruction rips apart the boundaries between alternate realities allowing them to 'bleed' into what has become the Reality Nexus; the damaged point where people, places, and things have been trapped in a metaphysical realm where the natural laws are radically different.
Once in the Nexus, a character (place or thing) becomes trapped and held outside of the time and space of their original home dimension and forced to forge new lives in the only remaining city in the plane of chaos. Christened The Clockworks by the new inhabitants, it is the eye of the chaos storm consuming all of the alternate realities.
It is only safe in the city. The outer boundaries of the city are a dangerous labyrinth of constantly changing realities and chaos called the Asylum; where things can change in the blink of an eye. You can cross the boundary at night and emerge in daylight, step across on Wednesday and then back across only to find it's now Friday... or the Wednesday BEFORE you left. Some individuals have learned to safely live in, traverse through, or even control the very structure of reality in Asylum by act of will alone. Travel through Asylum without the aid of such an individual or an experienced guide is perilous so some enterprising individuals make a tidy profit by using that to their advantage.

How do I *Join* the Community?
You may chose to 'play' any character(s) from any show, book, 'verse, or created by yourself by filling out the Entry form you'll find within the community after you've joined. You may have more than one character, but only one may be active at a time within the RPG. For instance you may request to 'be' Doctor Daniel Jackson and General Jack O'Neill if you wish but you could only play one at time in the RPG, so it would be more fun to be one or the either and find a 'Jack' or 'Daniel' to play with to keep things interesting.
To that end those with multiple characters usually choose only one per 'verse but we're not going to make it a rule or anything.
Priority for a 'character' is given according to the order in which a player has 'signed' up for them. The first person to sign up as Daniel Jackson for instance has the priority for that character and may chose to portray them in the game. If another person is using the same character they must switch to another.
Each player has priority for only ONE character, the first one that you sign up for (And that hasn't been claimed by anyone else as their primary character.) and no other. So the first person to sign up as Daniel Jackson will have that as their primary but if they also choose to play Jack O'Neill, that character will NOT be a primary. That would go to the first Player to sign up for Jack FIRST.
To keep things from getting confusing only one character may be in the City at a given time with the same name. Only one Daniel Jackson, Spike, Buffy, Dean Winchester, ect. If you wish to run a sim with a specific character approach them and ask, or if you or a friend would like to BE a specific character that is taken, ask if they wouldn't mind changing to someone else. Most players will be accomidating if a Daniel wants to play with a Jack for instance and will step aside and let someone else play the character and will change to another; or choose to merely chat as themselves which is also allowed.
You enter the 'game' merely by assuming your chosen identity so we recommend that you actually enter using your CHAT name rather than 'in character' to make sure that the character you want to use isn't being used already. (Though you may claim the right to use your primary character if it is already in play and that person would need to change to another. In the case of single players we'd suggest the second person switch to a character to compliment the new arrival so you have someone to RP with.)
You may at any time elect to merely chat without RP'ing in which case you can simply change to whatever chat name you're choosing to make yours.
*******************************************************************
Some CHAT names that are already claimed and may be used only by their owner:
(We recommend that you use a Chat name that isn't used by a RP'able character to avoid confusion.)
JINX
SNAFU
MYST
AZTEC
*******************************************************************
We make it a point to meet and get to know every RP'er and chatter in the game/chat
and the staff will be the final arbitrators for any name disputes that come up.
*******************************************************************
RP Characters that currently have primary status:
(These are the characters that are spoken for to date as primaries.)
Whistler
*Angelus*
Lt Colonel Cameron Mitchell
Ravali Simran
Jacob Chenault
Kali Rajan
Erick Logan
Aaron Logan
Phaedra
Sara Pezzini/Witchblade
*Denotes a character that has more than one playable form: A prime example is Angelus; as Angel and even Liam could be playable characters in the RP and one or more may be present at a given time. (It is up to the RP'er to explain HOW that happened and they were split up of course.)
*******************************************************************
Some city terms you may find useful:
Tracer: An individual who have 'feel' the fluctuating boundaries between The Clockworks and Asylum, and safely shuttle goods, services, and people around the distortions.
Zone-Tracker: An individual who is resistant to the chaos and madness of the Asylum and often makes a living as a mercenary retrieving goods and people trapped inside the distortion zone.
Duke/Duchess: Individuals who can manipulate the fabric of reality within Asylum and creating patches of stable 'city-states'.
Hound: A member of The Clockworks Guard. Enpowered by The Lady, to keep the peace in the city and gifted with certain abilities to carry out their responsibilities.
The Pack: The Peace-keeping force within The Clockworks.
Lobo: An ex-Pack member that has turned renegade and makes a living as a hired gun for various private concerns within The Clockworks or Asylum.
The Lady: A Quasi-Elemental shapechanger that supports and maintains the fabric of the Nexus that protects The Clockworks and those that dwell within. All that live or exist within the Nexus are bound by the Laws of The Lady and subject to her will.
Baron/Baroness: Individuals chosen and trained by The Lady and serve as Her chief assistants and companions and are charged with maintaining The Clockworks and Asylum as architects of the Nexus. The city grows, changes, and moves to their wills. They are the executive branch of The Pack, administering to the needs of the City inhabitants.
Sage: A long-term resident or either The Clockworks or Asylum, who knows just about everything there is to know about the city and its secrets. Generally there is only one Sage per section or 'quarter' of the city. They are the information brokers of The Clockworks and can tell you what you want or need to know... for the right price.
Feral: An individual 'infected' by the fluctuating reality of the Asylum and who can no longer live outside the distortion zone without going homicidally insane. The Packs routinely have to force small incursion groups of Ferals out of The Clockworks and back into the Asylum.
The Dark Lord: Not much is known about the individual known by this honorific; and it is a matter of some speculation as to whether or not there is such a person. The few Ferals that have been questioned prior to going mad claim that there is, and that he rules the Asylum with absolute authority over all Ferals.
*******************************************************************
Original characters are welcome but we'd suggest fleshing out your character's bio
before entering the RP. Original characters must be approved by the staff prior to 'arrival' in The Clockworks. This is mainly to avoid anyone trying to create a character so powerful they are omnipotent and try to rule the game.
*******************************************************************
Some suggestions for shows, books, ect to draw characters from:
Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, Bones, Threshold, Numbers, Supernatural, Smallville, Invasion, Surface, Lost, CSIx3, Heroes, Dresden Files, comic series like X-men or Witchblade, Anita Blake series, Characters drawn from Whitewolf, Vampire: the Masquerade, ect.
