(Insert Yogscast epic voice) You awake on a beach, unsure of why or how you got here. You remember little if anything at all other then your name. You open your eyes and sit up to find yourself looking out at a vast ocean. You certainly were no sailor, and even if you were, could you have gotten so lost as to arrive here?

The sun is low, getting ready to drop below the horizon. To your left is more sand, as to your right, but behind you is the world, with all its trees and delicious pigs. Its terror, its joy, its caves, and its treasures. You're going to need some shelter if you want to survive long enough to explore.

But soon you will learn you are not alone...


Not to break the forth wall, but this is the RP premise in a nutshell: There are dungeons, caves, epic mountains, waterfalls, lava, diamond mines, villages, and scary monsters. When all is dark, creatures will approach. You can be sure of this. You need shelter, food, and equipment. Who will teach you how to build, craft, mine, and explore successfully? You definitely can't survive off simple spelunking, can you?
Meet Aleskei Fletcher: An experienced survivalist. Show potential and he will make sure you not only survive, but strive. Prove to not be worth his time? Don't expect help next time a creeper approaches.
Of course Aleskei isn't the only person in this world other then yourself. There are few other people in the same predicimate: You don't know how you got here nor know what you are doing. There are also the people native to this land who's friendship will be necessary if you wish to learn all you can.

Character Skeleton:
1. Name
2. Age-Age has no mechanic in Minecraftia. As much as your character may complain about back pain or be unable to talk for a long period of time, they are liable to be just as good at fighting/jumping/swimming as someone else. Just be careful about your beard and fire.
3: Height (everyone is the same exact height)
3: Special skill/craft-Everyone has there own talents; some people are good at swimming, others are good at math. In Minecraftia, people tend to focus on other things: Architecture, swordplay, Bow craft, crafting... Et cetera. Whatever you specialize in, you are one of the best at doing it. (When the players eventually learn how to make swords, for example, one person would wind up making a very nice, stylized sword kept razor sharp that rarely broke, likely studded and embedded with rare stones or jewels. A torchbearer might make an extra-bright torch that can be hefted as a club)
4: Personality-What are your hopes/dreams/likes/dislikes/wants/fears
5: History-Can go in depth, though your character won't remember everything right away.


This is not Minecraft
Minecraft physics pretty much apply: Gravel and sand are effected by gravity whilst barely anything else is. Tools break and are easily made. Think of this as playing Minecraft, except your character is a real person without the physical limitations of needing to eat or sleep. (Of course to pass the time quickly/heal, these are still necessary)

Of course, there are other changes: More items/monsters. Dwarves exist, Ghasts are sometimes found outside of the Nether, and there are items like daggers or dynamite sticks.

The plot will be a lot of sandboxing with random run around and mining that encourages character development through roleplay. The "story" will eventually become evident, a wild adventure in which people will battle of evils of the Nether, quest for diamond, confront Herobrine, and maybe save the world...

Anyone who hasn't played minecraft is still welcome to join. I'll try to explain any nerd-jokes that revolve around Minecraft.

Oh, and of course there will be a Dwarf digging a hole ;)

(Aleskei Fletcher will be up as a character soon)
