So it's over and I'm going to start putting up stuff for the reboot soon.

You can backtag incomplete logs if you want but, please don't make any new posts.

Let me know if you'd like to be informed when the reboot is ready to go.

Old profile - Before the reboot

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

Pieces of Worlds Loosely based on the Dreamcast game 'Time Stalkers' A nameless world in another dimension where time portals collide. Made up of fragments of varied worlds. A strange book has brought you here. No one seems to know anything except a strange cloaked man and he tends to provide more questions than answers. Some have settled in and make no attempts to find a way home. Others are not content to such an existence. Will an answer be found before whatever is holding this world together fails? There is no choice but to find out.

FAQ

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

♣ Wait, what?

Characters are brought to a replica of Princess Peach's castle. Not an exact replica though. There are more rooms suitable for bedrooms, a kitchen, some bathrooms and a library. And of course all the paintings are different.

Mr. Cloak found his first attempt to create a world out of the pieces of others to be a failure. But he's not giving up. Now he's experimenting with copies of places instead.... He just finds the whole thing rather boring without people there to mess with.

He's going to return everyone home alive eventually. He's just not going to tell anyone that. More fun that way.

The paintings hold temporary versions of the replica pieces. It is all very similar to how the paintings work in Super Mario 64. Characters go in, complete a task and get a reward. Or get unceremoniously ejected from the painting if they fail or die. Rewards may include the keys to the upper floors(very rarely and needs mod approval), money or luxury items. Some paintings contain shops to spend the money(which is automatically converted to the currency present in the world represented by the painting) and to sell unwanted items. (Attempting to sell the silver cutlery from the kitchen will result in the shopkeeper saying they don't buy stolen goods.)

♣ Paintings?

The paintings are portals to small pocket dimension areas containing replicas of the places characters were when the were brought here and some random places.

The portal paintings will ripple if brushed up against or the wall shook.

♣ Plot?

There is a simple plot that there is no hurry to resolve. The castle grounds will expand occasionally.

Most of the plot will be player driven. This means not much will happen unless you make it happen.

Have character react to the setting, attempt to take over, explore the castle or paintings, etc.

♣ Events?

There will occasionally be random events. Silly, serious, dangerous, etc.

And some for random holidays.

♣ What kind of characters can we play?

Characters from most official canons and original characters. Please no crack muses or characters from shows aimed at very young children.

Original characters may not have previous connections to canon characters.
Original characters from Earth or an Earth like world (AKA someplace that has the technology for whatever game/movie/show that they come from) may be familiar with some of the canon characters stories though they will be unable to speak of it. There may be a way for your character to get around this. It can be different for character but, it will be something traumatizing and you must have mod approval.Note- Please limit the series your character is familiar with to Two.

Multiples? Alternate universe?

Yes to both. Up to three versions of a character will be allowed. However, one person will not be allowed to play more than one version of a character.

♣ How does time pass in game?

Seasons will be announced on occasion but, otherwise time is kind of ambiguous here.

The only reasons a date will need to be specified is for holiday events and character's birthdays if their player wants them to have a celebration/surprise. Just make sure it is at least the appropriate season and don't try to celebrate a late season event just after season change has been announced.

♣ What kinds of places are in the paintings?

Part of a city or town, forest, plains, mountains. Pretty much anything but, not too big an area. Could be as big as a few miles but, most will be smaller.

If there are monsters there in canon there will be monsters in the painting replica. If there aren't there usually won't be in the painting unless there is an event of some kind to change it.

♣ Monsters
Show up in paintings of places that normally have them or during monster events.

Monsters will occasionally drop random things along with the money or items they normally would.

♣ Communication?
There are some computers in the library that are connected to a Livejournal like site. If your character has a portable computer or cell phone they can use them. It's also possible to buy one in a shop.

They may use those to post to piecesofworlds

For face-to-face interactions or any adventures, solo or as a group, post in the log community pieces_logs. This is not required. You can simply have your character post about these adventures in the main community if you want.

For out of character stuff such as hiatus announcements or random stuff you'd like to share there is pieces_ooc

♣Supplies?

Despite being a castle only basic foodstuffs are found in the kitchen. Sweets and luxury food items will have to be bought.

Changes of clothes will also have to be bought if your character wasn't already carrying them.

There are shops in some of the paintings for this.

The castle

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

The screen shots are just for a basic idea. The doors don't lead to the same things as in the game. Some rooms with one painting in the game will have multiple paintings in Pieces.

I kinda fail at making maps so there won't be one specific to the RP unless someone else volunteers to make it. There is this one I found of the first floor that can be used for a basic idea of that area.

Basic outside view. There is a thick fog obscuring most of what is beyond the castle grounds.

Inside the entrance.

The door on the far left now leads to a sitting room. There is a large couch, several arm chairs, some end tables, a coffee table and an entertainment center. The television only seems to pick up nature documentaries, game shows, generic retellings of fairy tales, soap operas and music videos. There is a video game system that has only puzzle games, fighting games and racing games with no discernible story or characterization. There is a computer in one corner that can be used to look up meanings of words, recipes, music and connect to the network. There is a large painting on one wall.(will contain a replica of part of a character's world)
