The room was a large, wide area with ceilings that could have reached twenty feet in height. Like most other things in the room, the space was painted mostly white. A white projection screen dropped down from the ceiling. White chairs seated the multitude of people that sat to watch the presentation. A white suited man worked the white projector, playing from a white control room. The crisp, clean feeling was everywhere- as well as the seamless merging of all the shapes and objects amidst the white. The murmurs of the crowd settled down, as the lights dimmed, and the projector screen painted a logo in the center of the screen.

Seconds later, a droning voice could be heard from the white speakers that dotted the ceiling.

"Hello, prospective employee! And welcome, to the Amber Library. We've reviewed your job application here, and we think you have what it takes to work alongside us in our journey for knowledge. I'm sure you already know what we do here at the Amber Library, which is to learn, observe, and record. You will take part in this era, holding the torch that will shed light on our once-murky history."

The logo was cut abruptly from the screen, replaced by a noticably older film. Several men clad in lab coats were talking animatedly, standing in front of a large and bulky frame. One man nodded, turning over and pressing several buttons on a dash board. The film cut to black.

"One century years ago, researchers finally met the requirements needed to take a trip back in time. The attempt was almost disastrous, and nearly closed down the program- but the head researcher, the man who would become the Head Librarian continued the project. With ten years, he has created this: An entire city of knowledge, concrete knowledge fresh from the past itself. And now, you are going to be part of it. You are going to make history."

"So welcome, Sir or Madame. Welcome to the Amber Library."

The screen flickered to life, filling the darkness with a white backround that illuminated the dark room. Uninhabited, the light revealed a crisp, clean living space. It had a bed, a desk, a shelf. It had books, lamps, trash. What didn't change, was the overall whiteness. The sterile feeling of living in a hospital. Unbidden, black words formed in the center of the computer screen that scoured the dark room with artificial light.

YOU HAVE ONE NEW MESSAGE

Without so much as a pause, the letters flickered out. The screen flashed once, before becoming corrupt- static replacing the blank white backround. Black, white, and all the shades in between blinked chaotically, as the screen slowly came into focus of a black square. A red dot in the upper right hand corner, with the letters "R", "E", and "C" following it.

BUFFERING. PLEASE WAIT.

A stream of white numbers are pounded out in rapid succession. And the video begins to play. The black square focused slightly, revealing a heavily shadowed figure. He spoke into the camera with a slight stutter, tight tension, and with a voice that had been artificially morphed.

"We... We have this unimaginable power. The power t-to go back. Go back and right the wrongs we have made. They won't do it. These people, the p-people who claim nonsense that they're only looking out for us, think they can fool us. They're wrong. With this, all we c-can do is good! We can change history. Starting now. Just because THEY are too afraid to change, doesn't mean WE aren't. Humanity.. Humanity doesn't progress if we're scared like goddamn rabbits. We must take the initiative. The first step.

We must change the wor-"

CONNECTION INTERRUPTED.

The man froze, his posture nervous as the screen began to fill with the chaotic buzz of static once more. And then, wiped clean with a wash of white, illuminating a crisp, clean living space.

In the distant future, Time Travel becomes a reality- but not without certain implications. What happens in the base will influence the future. Shake it hard enough, and you'll have a different outcome. Therefore, the responsibility is placed onto one organization, on a distant island in a remote area of the world.

The Amber Library.

Utilizing this amazing technology, the Library uses it to bring knowledge to the people- by going back in time and confirming what happened, and what didn't. Withholding nothing, they release everything they discover to the people, bringing a sense of security to history.

However, some believe they are being too passive. With the power to travel back in time, comes a significant amount of danger. Those who would use it for personal, deluded, or simply deranged reasons. This era of new knowledge will not be without a little danger. And it doesn't matter what role you play in the scheme of things.

• This Roleplay will have lots of information, since it pertains to the concept of Time Travel. This is not very-rookie friendly.
  
• This is just an interest check. The Roleplay is still in development. If you would like, I will contact you when the Roleplay is finished- just leave a note.
  
• Though I do have a story set in mind, this will be character driven- It's up to you to see where the plot goes from the very start.
  
• Above all else, Feel free to leave ideas, comments, criticism!

This sounds like something that I would enjoying being part of. I'd love to be contacted when the roleplay is finished, if that's all right. :)

Of course, I'll certainly contact you once the RP is finished and ready to go!

Eh, too much white. Why not call it the Emerald Library and everything is black?

Heh, just joking.

Gotta love that intro, can't wait to see the full thing.

That said, you can put me on the list of people to contact.

Side Note: I get kind of an Inception vibe, like the plot will be incredibly deep.

Yeah, you knew this already, but keep me updated on your progress. I'm far too cowardly to run a plot with time-travel involved, but I'd love to be in one! (^_^)

Awesome, I'll contact you guys when the RP is done.

Could you pm me too please - this looks intriguing.

This sounds very interesting... please contact me when it is complete as well ^^

Cool! I'll let you guys know when it's finished :)

Slap me and call me a dirty little-! Oops...wrong place. Either way. Count me in.

I'm in, too, Shiva :D

Gotcha, you guys will be PM'd when the RP is finished!

Hey guys. Just popping it to let you all know this idea ain't dead. Still working hard on it.

How about a little vote? I've created two little signatures for the RP, but I'm only going to be using one. Which do you guys like more? Vote above in the poll area!



Thanks to Smitty and Flyguy for help in the image searches!

I personally felt that the one on the left seems more fitting of the name and the roleplay itself. It has that slight feeling of mystery with a nuance of complexity if that made any sense. It's early in the morning.

I prefer the lady with the monocle! And I'd love to be contacted when this RP is ready :) Great work so far -- I'm totally blown away!

Sure thing Lilaiy, I'm glad you're interested.

Ahh, Ray Bradbury. Mildred ;_; I liked Fahrenheit, did you know they made a video game on it? Not quite as good as the book but it's interesting at best. I do see what you mean when you mention the backround of the Soldier Signature, which is quite interesting seeing as I didn't have that in mind when I made it.

Once again guys, sorry for the long wait- but hopefully I'll have a Character Sheet soon for you guys to preview and maybe get a head start on your characters!
