Introduction
These are the Realms. Entire universes, dimensions, worlds as different as can be. Their rules are different, their cultures, ways and languages all separate and unique. Though travel between them is possible, it requires an extreme amount of magical power, an amount that could take apart even the strongest magicians if used improperly. As such, it is rare for the average inhabitant of these Realms to even know of the existence of other realms, let alone go to another.
With the exception of the Lost Realm.
Welcome to the junkyard of the Realms. Across any distance, any dimensional border, no matter what, that which is lost and may never be recovered winds up here. It floats in and around the Vortex at the centre of the Realm, patrolled and examined by those that inhabit this Realm. For yes, this Realm has inhabitants too. After all, people go missing too. And many are never found.
These people, and any descendants they may have had, have built themselves a decent enough living, using the debris and mismatched magic and technology around them to build houses, businesses, everything a thriving people could need, on a man-made planet. In this inter-dimensional melting pot, people who have vanished from their own worlds, with no easy way to return, have tried to move on with their lives, some with more success than others. The "natives" of the Lost Realm are the descendants of those who came here long ago. All who live in the Lost Realm, obviously, are completely aware of the other Realms.
However, there has been a sea-change recently.
The patrollers and scavengers of the Lost Realm are used to finding things floating out in the abyss, as is their job to find. However, what they have been finding recently are whole sections of other Realms. Whole towns, forests, deserts and plains have been found floating in near pristine condition in the Lost Realm, complete with people. Thus far, the only plan has been to guide in the floating islands, the "Shards", nearer to the Lost Realm's planet, and building bridges between, so that travel to these new sections does not require special equipment. But even as they do this, no explanation arises for why these Shards have appeared in the Lost Realm.
What is happening in the other Realms to cause this?
How does one lose a city?
Or is something sending the Shards to the Lost Realm?
We are those within the Lost Realm. We may be native scavengers, lost royalty of another Realm, we may have even came in with a Shard. We are in the midst of this with no answers, no easy way of communicating to another Realm to ask our questions. The worry is in the back of everyone's minds, of what is happening to the Realms beyond ours, and what this might mean for us and those we care about.
- No flaming, godmoding, controlling another person's character without their permission etc.
- This is a fairly literate roleplay. I'd prefer posts to be mostly in prose than script style, and at least one or two paragraphs long.
- Also, I'm assuming a basic knowledge of Roleplaying in general, but feel free to ask me to elaborate if I'm not transparent enough.
- The first part of the password is Junkyard.
- In this setting, sci fi technology and fantasy magic co exist, though usually a Realm will favour one or the other.
- Basically, if you're not a native of the Lost Realm, go easy on the magitech. It's allowed, but don't go overboard.
- Your character is allowed to be WIP for a week, after which if they are not complete I will reject them.
- I will PM you if there's a fixable problem with your character. Until it is fixed, your character is counted as a WIP, and follows the same restrictions.
- The second part of the password is Moon.
- Please don't vanish! I know life often gets in the way of Roleplaying, but I also know that with just a little perseverance and patience, Roleplays can easily survive MONTHS of no posting, so please don't just drop out as soon as posting drops off for a couple of days.
- However, not posting for months ISN'T exactly ideal. I'd prefer it not come to that. If you can't post for a while, I'd like either a warning or an explanation after the fact.

The Lost Realm
Hullo! Welcome to the OOC of the Lost Realm RP! Feel free to use it to discuss the goings on in the roleplay, plan out things you want to happen ahead of time, and what you might decide for your characters!
I'm gonna come right out and admit it, I don't have much of a plan for what is actually going to happen in this roleplay, so I'm relying pretty heavily on the help of everyone who will take part to come up with interesting stuff to happen, and where the story might go.
