"The battle... Must continue, you see. Fighting and blood... That is the way of things. What, then, was I to do, when nothing remained to challenge me? The answer became clear, in time. Find new foes. And if none are left to be found... Make them. Please try not to die too easily, I hate being bored in the between times."
That was what you heard, before finding yourself upon a vast, red plain, extending farther than the eye can see...
The Premise
A being so powerful that even the likes of Superman, creator gods, or other traditionally 'overpowered' characters would be the underdog, even working together, has gathered... Or possibly made... Whatever characters you submit (and get accepted) for the sole purpose of continuing to fight... Or so it says, at least. There's probably characters that would be, in fact, too strong, but rest assured that the powerscale here is quite extreme. Part of the inspiration for the idea was people talking about difficulty finding RPs to submit extremely powerful characters to, and part of it was the thought of how interesting it would be to see such characters finding themselves outmatched.
The goal is simply to defeat the being... Or, more pessimistically, to not die.
The Character Sheet
I should be able to understand the character from the character sheet on it's own merits. If there is critical information missing, even if it's present in the form of wiki links or the like, that's not good enough.
With that out of the way, the character sheet itself follows.
Name: What is the character called?
Physical Description: I need an accurate idea of what they look like, be it a (spoilered) picture, a solid description, or both.
Mental Description: I don't really need to know how they think or their personality, but I want this filled out to be sure the player has thought it through. I mean, if you are submitting, like, a SI, I don't need to know anything more than that. The main point is I don't want a character not intended to be a SI being essentially written as one.
Abilities: Whether it's skills, magic, gear, superpowers, or what, any abilities of note should be described in detail. I need to know what the character can and can't do, and any characteristics like super speed or strength besides. And not just what they do, but to a reasonable degree how they do it; this is a context that necessarily distinguishes to some degree between 'can make fire by magic' and 'can make fire by psychic powers'.
Setting of Origin: I don't know every setting out there, and original characters are also fine. I'll want to know where they come from, preferably with eg wiki links if it's not original.
History: The character's life so far.
The RP Otherwise
If you think I am overlooking or underrating an ability of the character, point it out, but ultimately it's my call, and this is a situation where even conceptual powers and the like may find themselves foiled.
I will be accepting probably no more than five to eight submissions at one time. Any further quality submissions will go on a waiting list. I will be attempting to keep a fairly brisk pace, if you don't post in the IC for more than three or so days without giving me a heads up, expect to get skipped.
Speaking of the waiting list... Well, I won't be in the least surprised if player turnover winds up being high. It'll partly depend on how things go and how many submissions we get and so on.
There is no specific roleplaying system in use here, this is a narrative type game in that regard.
Otherwise, anything else I have to say I hope is common sense. Don't be a jerk to other players, don't godmode, follow the site rules, etc and ad nauseum.
