Welcome to the world of Six-Edged Sword!
This roleplay is going to be worldbuilding heavy. A group of six writers will come together to create six distinct nations that traverse the world and the incoming doom that awaits it. Each writer will claim a nation and create its lore, its motives, its settings and places, and build its world. After all six nations have been developed to the writers' satisfaction, the story begins!
Each writer will helm several characters in their nation to push the narrative. How many characters is up to each writer! The story revolves around a few core concepts:
- Something bad is approaching, discovered recently.
- It revolves around a vital energy source that all nations use
- A Summit is called to force the nations to face this dillemia.
How each nation faces the core concepts will vary uniquely, and the story need not be written in a chronological order. To keep the story grounded, the timeline will center around the Summit. So, each post will have either:
X Days before the Summit
- Code
[center][bebas]X Days before the Summit[/bebas][/center]
or
X Days after the Summit
- Code
[center][bebas]X Days after the Summit[/bebas][/center]

So! How does this begin?
First, I'm going to create a series of questions that will be the beginning of the worldbuilding. These questions will act as a sort of Character Template that I ask everyone who is interested to answer. This will decide what nations and writers join (if there's more interest than slots)
After the six nations have been established, the worldbuilding begins. Every other week we will have a write-in/pad party where the six writers come together and worldbuild together. I will also post more foundational-creating questions every so often. All writers are free to ask questions (as I'm sure there will be many!) to better understand the initial concept. The world is to be created together; I have only established a brief foundation to understand the type of story.
Think of these questions as a foundation for your Nation. Really, these questions should only have each a few paragraphs of an answer at most. This is to just gauge what kind of nation you are thinking of creating in this roleplay. Like a Character Profile, this shows the character you want to create and roleplay in the story.
