The Greatest Treasure Storybook
The Greatest Treasure (GT) is the third book in a trilogy.
In Four Treasures, a group of heroes battled to avenge their loved ones. In the final battle, a massive magical cataclysm occurred, destroying the magical net known as "The Weave."
In Journey into the North, a group of heroes embark on a quest to locate something known as the Wizards Tome: a book that details the first construction of The Weave. They hope to use it to re-establish the old magic. While the group manages to secure the Tome, they are later betrayed by one of their members, who leaves with the Tome. The group is then ambushed by soldiers and a number of the JIN group is taken away.
After a year has passed and nothing has been heard from the JIN group, another group is sent out to once again to acquire the Wizards Tome and finally restore magic.
The Rules
The rules are simple:
No team-killing!
People take it very personally when you kill their character. Doing so ruins a writing relationship, which is what we're all trying to build. So, play nice.
No God Characters
Please, do not make your character a god. Let's keep our characters within believable bounds.
Fantasy Setting
The default setting is in a Medieval Europe setting. As the characters travel, the setting may change. If you want to be a Japanese Shogun, you might end up waiting a long while for us to come by.
Magical Creatures
Light Creatures are more appropriate for this story, since most of the traveling would be done during the day time. If your character type is dangerous to the group, then it's probably a bad idea.
Magic
It existed and was used widely before the cataclysm, but very few people now understand it. Spells that decimate armies are unimaginable. Complex magic is never seen. Magical creatures will know magic appropriate to their characters, but anything outside instinct would be a long shot. So a unicorn would know all about healing, but nil about starting a fire with magic.
On Writing Style
This is an RPG, so players may write in any style they please. First person, third person omniscient, your choice.
On God-Moding.
God Moding is vague. Here is the rules for it.
1. Other authors may control another authors character. We're all equally authors on this story, so the characters that are here are also communal.
2. Authors can not write for any characters than their own. I can't make a post for any characters other than my own.
3. Authors can not undo the actions of their characters unless the post in question was against the character profile. If no complaint is made by the author of the character within a reasonable amount of time, then we'll keep going.
4. This isn't a turn RPG, it is a real time RPG. That means that you aren't obligated to stop and wait for the author to reply to your character. This way, we don't wait three days for a response.
Inactive Characters
If a character hasn't been posted for in a long time (a month) then it will go into the NPC pile. Another writer may choose to write for that character until the original author returns. If the original author returns, the character once again returns to his or her possession.
