1) You are basically playing YOURSELF

2) Choose 3 Abilities loosely based around your online persona and astrological data that can be revealed to others

3) You will also have 3 Secret Abilities that you should be thinking about. You can spring these at any time, even making them up to nullify another's intentions but once you Reveal them, they become permanent.

4) Every serious player is a Game Master and We Create the World Together. This requires diplomatic co-creativity that holds the quality of the story and the lessons shared ultimately above the welfare of any single character. Challenge!

5) All are Welcome to join, but those who choose to simply be small disruptive characters will be dealt with accordingly. Your sacrifice to the enhanced plot of the story is appreciated and please reincarnate and try again as another character immediately!

6) This thread is for game play only. Please do come and watch, but if you wish to comment you have to join in!!! Even as a disposable character just for fun.

7) I know I'm NOT THE BOSS OF YOU and this is a public forum and blah blah blah yadda yadda, but let's try to make this work for fun!!! Everyone get creative! I would love all serious players to add rules and I will give the final ok on them just to keep the rules from going crazy and changing every minute.

8)If you haven't figured it out yet, this will mostly be a story written together, so don't join in unless you HAVE READ THE ENTIRE STORY unless you are just choosing to create a single random event. For example, you can't join in as a character that is the brother of another character and play as if you have always been there when you have no idea what happened previously.

9) The only thing you have to reveal immediately is your basic appearance and your surroundings. Let's follow a simple/basic/familiar plot line that can become more with time. For example, we introduce ourselves and the city/peasant-town/world we are beginning in and create our own story and then we begin to find ways to interweave our very different or similar realities. You can be from a farm out the dark ages or from another planet, anything goes.

As she grew into womanhood, she seemed to find joy in the dery dark place she lived in. She always seemed Strange, not like the rest. She was a quite woman, most of the time. It was important to be quite, lest they hear you talking to yourself. Besides, she didn’t really need to talk, everyone she really need to communicate with could touch her mind. They called her crazy, ***** , devil, witch, they just could not understand her, she could barely understand herself.

She grew weary of her life or drudgery and servitude. She longed to find the others, to find her way in the world. She needed a plan.......

He lived high up on the mountain, in the dark creepy castle. But unlike what many believed - he was a friendly vampire, with blood lust only to keep him alive....errr..... undead.

Seeing a guy carrying an acoustic guitar coming from far away, the undead was feeling happy, but little was he prepared for what was in store.

Meanwhile, far away deep in the forest, the dragons were preparing to launch an attack on the serene city, at the strike of midnight hour. They had entered into an unholy alliance with the purple chameleons to stage this dastardly act.

So she sat under a shady tree, hugging her knees, reflecting on her life. "What a charmed life I'd led up until recently", she thought, and reminisced about her happy childhood with much fondness. She'd been born in a land that had much history, where mystical secrets were hidden in mundane surroundings. They had not lived there long though; her family had moved every few years. They had been a source of joy for her for many years, a safe haven, and with them, she'd led a sheltered life, not knowing pain or suffering until recent times. The shadows cast by some creature flying overhead brought her back to earth with a start, and all the pain of the past couple years came flooding back to her in that instant. With it also came the realization that she'd never really truly known the extent of her powers until she'd had a need to use them...

She blinked away a tear from her eye, and rose, determined not to let the past haunt her in this new land that held much promise. I won't let the past hold me back any longer, but shall forge ahead into this brave new world, she decided, and prepared to walk out of the shadows, into the open...

“Have you ever seen a ghost?”

He asked with a lilt to his voice that let me know he wanted me to think he was joking.

“No,” I paused, “you have,” I said, with only enough questioning in my voice to continue the charade.

“Well,” he said, still with a perceptible laugh to his voice, “have you ever been out to the Bridge?”

I had learned long ago to distinguish the young boy tone of fun and games and fantasy from the serious, almost boiling with fear and hesitancy at being “discovered” or “heard” tone I was hearing now.

“What happened?”

There were so many stories, some at the Bridge, and some at the Cemetery, some home alone in the dark. There were just SO many stories.

“I did an incantation. It was out of a book. I had been reading up on it for a while. I thought it would work, but I didn’t Know what would really happen.”

“Did you see something?” I asked calmly. I could sense his extreme fear now.

“I can’t say!”
“I was told not to say…” he was visibly distressed now, almost wringing his hands and he sprang up from the couch. “I’ve got to go,” he said.

As much as she wanted to say and feel the sunshine, she was pulled back into the dreay reality.

The natives crowded and fawned. Suddenly, a blast rang out, and the body of a young boy flew back, skidded across the sand, and came to a stop, arms and legs oddly akimbo; dead. The crowd dispersed at once, and the stranger made his way up the beach unaccosted.

A stone around his neck glowed bright green;
there was a vampire nearby.

He knew only that his constitution was supernatural.
By all accounts, he was immortal and impervious to blows.
Furthermore, his accuracy with a firearm was not only unmatched,
it was impeccable; he never missed.
Lastly, he could read and manipulate the hearts and minds of all sentient beings.

((How many powers is that?))
