Libraria, Roleplay Thread.

So! Finally made this, and decided to make a custom fantasy world to play in.

Libraria is kind of like...a hub of all the stories, comics and fairy tales. Which the characters and worlds come to life in different sections of Libraria.
You will be able to create a character with his/her's own backstory. Then group up with other Librarians for the journey ahead.
As each story is created in the real world, gates in Libraria are created, connecting the fictional world to the hub. All of the stories in the gates have been completed, and won't be affected by other story characters if entered.

Now, you may be asking, what does Libraria LOOK like?
Libraria itself is a city, a huge one. With many different eras of construction that really shouldn't be together. From futuristic skyscrapers and flying cars to midieval homes and castles. Each part of the city is created when a new gate is open, as each story is categorized. The higher level the story is depends on how much space it creates in the city for it.

Major stories(Commonly known books)(A whole district for the story)
Average stories, Most common(Comic Books and any normal book)(A large building/patch of land.
Minor stories(small fairy tales and short stories)(Only a gate in an area matching up with their era of time.)

Now that I got all the basics down, let's get to characters.

The character you create must be an Original Character starring in it's own story, the story could only be a minor to average story but please be detailed on it.
You must detail about your character's...
Name, Sex, Personality, Physical Appearance, backstory and if it is an average or minor story.

Everything else you add to your character is optional, however any powers or skills given to your character CANNOT be overpowered, and I will judge whether or not it's okay to have any abilities or skills. You are allowed to have powers or special skills, but they will be questioned.
As far as stories go, your character's story will be a relatively new one and your character will enter Libraria from his/her's story gate with no prior knowledge of the world.
Here is a template if you need it.

Now, how the roleplay will work is in a TURN ORDER, each person posting in a specific order to ensure everyone can go. You are allowed to go do your own thing with other players, but when you see this color, make sure to pay attention, as this is important.
I myself will be the GM, making sure everything runs smoothly and any big roleplays or NPC characters are done by me. There is a story line throughout this rp that you will be able to help create.

So, who wants to come to Libraria?

I'm always down for a good RP, but how do you plan to reconcile the conflicting elements of different stories? I think a unique, original world or singular story world would work better.

Most of the "stories" will be fictional and not actually real stories. Letting me control it.
I have to think about it more in morning honestly

I want my alignment to be quixotic neutral.

I'll finish working on my character tomorrow

I dunno which character

Can I roleplay as George Costanza

interesting, but I need some kind of limitation for characters.


I wouldn't want to say, make a time traveling janitor, when everyone else is rping as ultramarines.

Oh, but the craziest characters are the most fun.

I was more pointing toward my character would be interesting in that rp, but horrifically underpowered to the point it makes no sense being there.

Are you implying a time-travelling janitor is weaker than a space marine?

What are the requirements for a backstory?

Okay! I'm awake, time to figure this out.

I thought the title said Liberia.

I'm kind of disappointed now

Damnit DAS

oh and I updated the OP with new info.

Updated OP, everything should be good now. However if everyone still has questions don't hesitate to ask.

So is there any vegitation in Libraria, or is just a complete concrete jungle?

Gee
I have to pull up the really old character sheet.

Something something mecha Hitler destroys city in a nanosecond

So is there any vegitation in Libraria, or is just a complete concrete jungle?

The city grows as more gates to stories open, each major story will affect the environment it is in.

So if one major story takes up an entire area of the city, it will reflect the story's enviremient(Example: Futuristic space ships and skyscraps of Halo in one area and maybe Kings Landing style castle of Game of Thrones in another area)

Gee
I have to pull up the really old character sheet.

You really don't need a character sheet for it, just post a good amount of details for me to look over and all approved characters will go in the OP.

What sort of things do you come up with

You're allowed any type of character as long as it isn't rediculously overpowered.

I should add to the OP that you'll be from a new story and have just joined Libraria. So you won't have any prior knowledge of Libraria.
