Open Gates is set in a hostile, alternate dimension. A scientific experiment set in our world, in the future, set out to open doorways to other universes, to allow people to travel between worlds. Despite the excellent work the Reeves Centre put out, there was a fault with some equipment which caused a force to throw some humans into another world with no forseeable way back. Both scientists and guards from the centre, as well as regular people from around the area became trapped there. Slowly, they headed out to explore.

Something crunched underfoot, some sort of carcass - a boneyard full of the skeletons of small animals of some sort. Some humans headed on, others stayed back; either way, they all met monsters in the end - it turned out the fault caused them to be torn from their worlds as well. Some fought with the humans, others decided to stay with them for safety at least.

Although the world seemed empty and bleak, they soon discovered the dominant species of this planet... and their strong xenophobic tendancies. Alone and lost, it seems as if the only way to survive will be for the monsters and humans to work together.

Things I would like to see:
- Original monsters
- New takes on older monsters
- Believable characters!

If you want to use your own type of monster, just PM me the details, so we can both figure how to put them into the game :)

If you need any help.

Please PM me a writing sample as well! It doesn't matter if it's from another RP or with a different character.

Please follow forum rules.

Don't be upset if you are given constructive critique when you submit your character - normally this should only be minor, to make things fit better with the world, but I'm also willing to work out bigger issues if you are.

Please don't take the actions of someone's character as the actions of the player. For example, don't assume that someone doesn't like you personally just because their character dislikes yours. It'd be great if everyone chatted and got to know each other a bit to prevent any hard feelings from situations such as this.

RPing should be done in third person, past tense. For example,
'Dave waved happily to see his friend return, and jogged over to meet her.
"How are you, Mary? It's pretty cold out, isn't it?" he asked as he handed her a cup of warm tea.'
NOT
'Dave: *waves, goes over to Mary* How are you? It's pretty cold out, isn't it? *hands cup of tea*'

Regular RP rules reply - no godmoding or powerplaying. An example might be if two characters fell out and one went to hit the other, the correct way would be:
'Dave tensed and - fist clenched - threw a punch at Bob, hoping to knock some sense into the man (and breaking his nose would be no bad thing either).'
NOT
'Dave tensed and - fist clenched - punched Bob hard in the face. He heard a terrible crack as his fist connected with the man's nose, and blood began to gush out.'
The second doesn't give the other player's character a chance to avoid the attack or to block. Obviously you can't always avoid things, especially if your character isn't skilled in combat.

Please don't assume things. An example might be if you were kept as an experiment and you assume your character is given nasty food to eat, when in fact the person playing the characters keeping your character prisoner would rather feed them good food to keep them healthy and better for experiments. If unsure, it's probably easier to send a note asking, or waiting until the issue is brought up.

You don't have to write loads and loads, but it'd be nice if the writing was decent by way of spelling, grammar and syntax. If you have a problem with spelling or language, just say, and there should be no problems regarding that.

If you want to leave the roleplay, please write your character out somehow, and tell us why you are leaving. Hopefully something can be worked out, if it is an issue with another player, for example.

PM me if you have any questions!
