Hello! ThingRed and ThingBlue would like to welcome you to A Dream of Morals. We have some rules and important information you'll want to look at down below, but first we'll tell you what this is all about.
In ADOM (don't you just love that acronym?) you will create a single character. There are some specifications for these characters, which you can look at more closely above the fill-in profile we've provided. In a nutshell, though: your character is a bad kid--druggie, alcoholic, gangster, runaway, or something similar, and they're not planning on changing that anytime soon, for any number of reasons. Then they go to sleep, and they meet two short, freakish little people who take them on a journey through a dangerous, mystical land. Maybe along the way they'll find some friends and some morals--maybe.
Still interested? You've read this far? Awesome.
Plot
The main idea of this SB is realistic character development and relationships. We also want to aim for a fantasy sort of setting, a world that doesn't exist outside of dreams. There should be dragons, elves, griffins, made-up animals, that sort of thing. Our plot is still fairly loose. It's got a beginning point and an end point, so if you ever had a plot suggestion feel free to PM ThingRed or ThingBlue.
Characters
Characters should be some kind of bad kid. There are no specific roles to fill here, so have them do whatever terrible things your heart desires. You may only have a single character and should not change POVs without good reason. It doesn't matter if you write in first or third person. Characters should never be Mary Sues/Gary Stues. ThingBlue despises those with a passion. So make your character flawed, but be sure to give them strengths and unique traits too. Try to be a little creative. Anything in parenthesis below you can take out when you post you form, but be sure to do what it says.
