Introduction

"A picture is worth a thousand words, but a thousand words can create a better picture." - CP

The Setting:

Imagination. It's the only word that accurately describes that place. I've been there only a few times now, but I know that's what it is. There is no other proper way to describe it. Everything is there. At first, it was wonderful. I felt so light, so strong, and everything around me was so full of life and love. I couldn't help myself, I had to go back. Besides, what was the harm right?

It wasn't the same as the first time. I waited until it was ten to midnight to get out of my car. I walked up to the same spot as before and I waited. I waited for that shine, that brilliant violet that streamed across the air like heavy smoke. And it came. I remembered being scared the first time I saw it for some reason, but it didn't click. At least it didn't click like the feeling to go back in did. Every cell and pore in my body pulled me towards it. It was like diving into the air and becoming cleansed.

It seemed like deja vu for awhile, just stumbling around in this otherside. To be honest, it's almost like you've never left the corner. It's just so much more than that. The feeling, the energy, the life. And all those creatures, those people in there. They live there! I don't know how, I get pulled back here into this side at noon every morning. It's only a twelve hour ride. I digress though, the horrors outway the pleasures indefinitely. It was somewhere around the corner of Bellemont and Cirique. It stood there at first, just staring at me. I couldn't really make out what it looked like until it smiled. That smile. I thought I was going to die.

I ran. It chased. Once it knew I feared it, it struck. A claw buried it's tips into my left forearm and dragged all the way the knuckles. Then I stared it in the eyes for a moment before pulling away with everything I had and running. It's eyes were blue.

I didn't ever actually get away. It chased me all the way until noon. I ran from it for three hours with my arm bleeding out and hanging free. When it struck noon, light shined brighter and I could smell the air again. My arm had stopped bleeding, in fact the marks that were left, these marks. This changed me.

More entryways are appearing recently. I don't have to drive so far to get in, but how long will it be before someone else finds out. What if I'm not the first?


At midnight around the world have been purple curtains appearing in unconnected locations, and spreading outward from them. On the otherside of these curtains, a world completely influenced by the minds of the people in the real world. There are wonders, and there are dangers. There are others.

The Otherside:

The Otherside is the exact same setting as the real world, only in the imagination. The Otherside is truly spiritual creation of the minds of the world. It contains everything that has been thought up. Whether that is good, bad, disgusting, or downright strange is up to you. Your character will be traversing the Otherside and discovering what it truly is and what is in it is completely up to your imagination. However, there will be encounters with dangers. With new places and strange characteristics there comes idealism for power, as well as peace. This brings the minds of the devious and the distraught into the realm of the Imagination, seeking power from it.

Abilities in the Otherside

While you are your true self, in the Otherside you have been blessed with the enhanced ability of your imagination. Use it. (However, you'll have to learn to use it really so don't forget to rp that part :D ) There will be those who believe they can take that back with them to reality, and there will be those who just want to bring back something from there to study.


Motivations:

Curiousity: You have just stumbled on the Otherside and explore it's mysteries as an adventure. Basically, you are neutral to fighting others, but that doesn't mean you can't take sides during battles, just that you are not restricted to one in particular.
Power: You seek the power that the Otherside gives you. After your first encounter, you have become occupied with only seeking the power of this dreamworld. This is basically the predator alliance. Those with power, hunt.
Peace: You seek to study the Otherside in hopes of bringing back some of it's properties to change the world, but have been stopped and encumbered by those whose minds are preoccupied with the Power the world offers. Those who wish for peace so fervently find themselves fighting for it with those who seek to control and prey on others.


As you can see, the factions are a little strange. This is because you will not be held back alliances, you will be pushed forward by your motivation. Though, your characters specific motivation should be well formed and thought out, the basis should be one of those three. This is important because as we develop our characters for a short while, I will PM designated rpers with event instructions. I hope you can assume what kinds of events those will be.
