Spaceferring he/him Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Can we just stop a sec, look at the amount of pages in this thread, and say nice? 3
18th Shard he/him Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Who would be in the Alleycity that Xanas could run into and essentially get a timeline rundown since he vanished? Also, when we are talking about the city, what do you normally imagine? I want to capture Xanas's absolute shock that it isn't a bunch of huts anymore.

He's currently there in a street, looking real bad. A teen, although at the moment his skin is partially covered by scales like a snake would have, and his eyes have changed according to snake as well. He's a tad crazy but he grew up in the city and get you a full rundown. And here is a description: https://alleyverse.fandom.com/wiki/Alleyvillage After the seven day war, the nuking of the city left a huge crater and destroyed a huge part, but around the building of the canton of combat is an area that is visibly older than the rest, as it was protected.

I’ve moved over here because usually we just use that thread for character submission. If you plan on joining a guild, walking into that guild’s thread might be a good idea; if you want to start interacting with someone right away, there are a couple people having a conversation in the Alleycity Thread. There are also a few threads like Mac’s Boarding House and The Bleeding Spike where I believe you can just walk right in.

When they let me know that they have completed their current objective I'll send them their next instructions, or we can deliver them personally," He grinned at the thought "Though you mentioned other department heads? I wasn't aware we had any to be honest. I thought they were kind of" He waved his hands in the air, as if to indicate that the departments had disappeared into the Void. The Trouble with saying things like, the other departments were gone, was that nothing is ever really gone. In the vast infinities of the alleys, you could technically find every single possible combination of atoms, much like the Library of Babel. People long thought dead sometimes wandered out of those alleys, but it didn't happen enough to rely on it. It just happened enough to make any statements about things existence annoyingly imprecise. Just read this old post from Mac. Almost foreshadows what Xanas did. I wish I could claim there was some correlation here, but Mac is just good at guessing. Edited February 19, 2020 by 18th Shard

The Alleys must have decided that since Mac left they needed another Department head to materialize out of the Void and fill the space on the roster.

+Ark1002 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 I believe it was voted on for 6 months to 2 years. Was it actually decided which somewhere that I missed? @AonEne

SingingMosaic Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Hi. I'm new to the site, was looking through roleplay stuff and stumbled on this. I looked over the guides and part of the character thread so I could figure out generally how the creation process went and what I was looking at. It was there that I read someone directing another new person to here, so hopefully I'm in the right spot. Started looking at other threads, to get an idea of how stories generally happened, I hope no one minds that. I'm not sure what your policy is on people reading just to read. I got sucked in quickly, my roommate's had to ask me everything twice for like two days now. So I was wondering, a couple things. I saw the character creation guide most recently posted to the character creation thread, and saw a later mention of it that said it was meant to be updated. Would it still be fine to use that to build with or has it been updated? My second question: What time period is it in all the worlds that cross this one, or does it matter? Could you come from either Mistborn era, for example or is there a such thing as "current time"? My third question: Is there anything that happens that acts similar to a highstorm? I ask because one of the character ideas bouncing around in my head is a Singer (ah, is? was? Questions!) and knowing if they're stuck in one form will heavily influence how I build their backstory and play them, if I go with that one. A bit of backstory on me and my RP experience. I've been doing it for almost ten years, but almost entirely on MUDs/MOOs etc. so there were game mechanics, shorter emotes, quicker response times, very strict rules about the IC/OOC divide and what kind of information you could have that your character was allowed to know, so I'm used to partitioning off information, creating a set of knowledge the character has as well as their personality and history. I've never done a more storylike RP before, but I feel like they'd be a good fit for me. I was always incredibly slow at writing emotes because I was writing little bits of book. 3
I think I am here. he/him Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 39 minutes ago, SingingMosaic said: Hi Hi! It’s perfectly fine reading just to read, so don’t worry about that. About the character sheets, as of now they’re fine to use for character-building, it hasn’t been updated yet to my knowledge. There is a ‘current time’ in the Alleyverse, which is roughly Era 2 Mistborn and Roshar in the middle of fighting Odium. For the other planets, the settings are assumed to be how they’re depicted in the books (regardless of how much time has passed chronologically) simply because we don’t have any other version of those worlds to go off on. However, it’s very open, so if you want to have a character from Mistborn Era 1, for example, it’s totally within possibility that the character could’ve fallen into an inter-dimensional alley and ended up in the modern-day Alleyverse. To your third question: yes! We have the AlleyStorm, which in addition to doing everything a highstorm does (minus crazy destruction, you can be outside in the middle of it), also enhances all Investiture, kind of like a nicroburst that lasts for a couple minutes. It rolls around whenever is convenient () and can be used to change forms for Singers. Glad to have you in this RP, Mosiac .
Voidus Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Welcome to the Alleyverse! Just to add on to the response about time, though ITIAH pretty much covered it, there is a current 'max' time that someone could be from which is whenever the most recent book has been published (conveniently) but a character can be from any previous point in Shardworld history. We've got plenty of both era 1 and era 2 Mistborn characters, etc. Basically the 'current time' is what time it would be if you went from the AV back to a Shardworld but due to time being wibbly wobbly and timey wimey, you can be from any time period. Now I'll stop because it's possible I've already made this more confusing instead of simpler. Looking forward to seeing you around the RP, let us know if you have any questions. @I think I am here., myself ( @Voidus ) and @Sorana are the mods for the RP so feel free to message or tag us if you need anything, but we have an amazing community who will all help out too.
SingingMosaic Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Clicked on something in into the Dark as I was reading it, I accidentally hit space on something the screenreader doesn't read a proper label for. Hopefully it was harmless and it was upvote. Not sure if the system has anything like downvote. Hopefully not. Anyway if any oddness happens my bad, point any people going huh what at this. If not and it was an upvote, then good, I know where that is now, and also good, I like most of what I've been reading everywhere. Edit: Thanks guys, thanks. I will never be able to sarcastically ask, "Want a cookie?" the same way again. lol Edited March 4, 2020 by SingingMosaic Added something, fixed something, avoiding double posting.
