  1. -Plot- Long ago, a war took place between a total of 42 universes, with hundreds of pocket universes clinging to the sides (Dimensions such as the nether, the end, etc) The constant war between dimensions would not stop, so an alliance between 11 universes was made, and the alliance sealed the universes away from each other to maintain peace. For billions of years this worked, but now something has going wrong. Not only are the universes being united again, a single entity is causing them to collide, though it is unknown what it is, only that it is extremely powerful. The one universe at the center, which is much larger than the rest, will be the only one to survive the collision. The rest will be destroyed. So war for survival has started, a survival of the fittest to see who can claim the one surviving world as their own, or to be more specific, The Overworld that exists within the universe known as Minecraft. The natives of the lands won't be able to fight against trillions of of other inhabitants, so they can not defend. Their only hope is to prevent the collision, and veil the universes from each other once more. If they cannot accomplish that, then all will be destroyed. Therefore, the inhabitants of Minecraft have one mission- Save the multiverse, or all shall be destroyed. There is something else though, a number that rings out amongst all the universes... The number 42... -Basic Info- Shadow and Reflection are of course sworn enemies, where as the Minecraftians and the Humans will occasionally team up against the others. Universes: There are many universes. The ones collided at the moment are the Mirror World, The Shade, Minecraft, Earth, Celestia and Dominus. Each follows different laws of physics with different inhabitants. Roleplay: You start out as either Human, Shadow, Reflection, Mage, or Minecraftian. Over the roleplay more universes will show up as they start to collide. Then you can make characters that match those universes. Humans: If you don't know this one, you shouldn't be here. Minecraftian: You know... Mage: They look human and their world is almost exactly like Earth, but less technological advanced due to them being able to use magic. They live similarly to Native Americans, in mud huts and hunting for food, but they use magic to make these tasks easier. Shadow: A universe made up of darkness, literally, absence of light, and nothing else. They can be 3D(The look humanoid) and 2D(They look like a shadow), and also shape-shift. They can only show up in another universe in dark or shaded areas. They are VERY hard to spot, but look like pitch black silhouettes. If you can lure one into the light, they become weak, but this is not an easy task. Reflection: Can cross universes through reflections, only work in light and can do hypnotic effects on humans, minecraftians, and rarely mages. Gravity has no effect on them. Celesti: Their name means 'Heavenly', to how they see themselves. They are winged humanoids, who are extremely tall. When their world collided, four pieces of their world's capital poked through. One part lies in the shadow world, stuck in darkness. Another part lies in Minecraftia, hovering in mid air. Another part lies on earth, nestled into the side of a mountain. The last piece is in the mages' world, it came through and destroyed a village, the village and it are now in ruins. -Rules- Follow these 13 rules and you'll be fine. 1. No Godmodding 2. No spam 3. Mods > You 4. No magical flying bugattis, Kris 5. You can only have up to three characters 6. You may not switch sides. 7. No powergaming. 8.

He usually wears his hood up. He has white tennish shoes. Universe: Minecraftia Species: Minecraftian Abilities: He has HydroKinesis, allowing him to control water with his mind(To an extent, and it isn't magic) Bio: He can't remember much before seven years old.

His mother was quite crazy, always obsessing over kinesis and pathic abilities. She encouraged him to do so aswell. So from the time he could speak he was home schooled and more of his time was developed to staring at a Psi Wheel instead of education. After loosing his mother he hopped onto a train, to search for her. The train began to move and four years later he sits around a small canal, two miles from a farm and six miles from town. He doesn't need a correct home because of his adapted abilities, and only really needs to be near water as shelter.

Grey jeans, black shoes. Black emo hair covering his right eye. Universe: Minecraftian Species: Enderman Abilities: (Remember rule #1 When he lets go of his ender crystal, he transforms into his ender form. Bio: (Optional) He was almost there. A Minecraftian named Deminu was on the search for a stronghold. He had ventured to the Nether and killed all the Blazes he could find, and mercilessly slaughtered more Endermen than you could count. And it had all come down to this. As he wondered what awaited him after defeating the Ender Dragon, the Eye of Ender he had been tirelessly throwing dropped to the ground. He ran over to the spot it dropped and threw it again. It dropped immediately. This was it, he was sure of it. He pulled out his trusty iron shovel, enchanted with unbreaking V, and began to dig. After a few minutes of digging, he found himself inside of a massive stronghold. He began walking down the damp hallway, placing torches as he went. At the end of the hall, he found the portal room. He carefully opened the creaking wooden door, Silverfish scurrying past him, to find a floating End Portal frame. He then began to place an Eye of Ender in each block of the frame. When the last eye had been placed, the portal materialized inside the frame. He nervously walked up the stone steps, and let himself fall. Then it was quiet. For a moment, it was almost blissful, his entire body cradled in the space between the two dimensions. The void. It was dark, and he could sense a certain coldness, a lack of life. It scared him, even though he knew no life should exist here. Then, just as suddenly as it was there, it was gone. He looked up and saw a dark sky full of stars. It was, in a way, beautiful. Then he remembered why he was there. To defeat the Ender Dragon. He looked around for the obsidian pillars that fed it health. There's one,he thought to himself as he started walking towards a pillar. Once he was at the foot of the pillar, he looked in his bag for some blocks. After finding several stacks of cobblestone, he began to build a stairway wrapping around the pillar. Once at the top he drew his pick and bashed the Ender Crystal that lay in front of him, causing it to explode. He was knocked back onto his cobblestone stairway and ran down to find more crystals. Once he had gotten them all, he went in search of the dragon. He though he saw a black spot pass through the sky, but passed it off as a figment of his imagination. Then, all of a sudden, there was a roar in the distance. Thats when he saw it. Its huge purple eyes were furious that someone was here to invade its homeland. Deminu pulled out his bow and waited for the dragon to fly over him before shooting it twice in the belly. It roared, then lunged towards Deminu who luckily managed to jump out of the way. He then took the opportunity to unload a few more arrows. After a few minutes of shooting the dragon, it was now at half health. Soon it was almost dead. He quickly climbed up one of the cobblestone stairways up the tallest pillar. As the dragon flew over him, he thrust his sword upward. For a moment, he wasn't sure if he had hit anything, but then he heard a roar of pain as the dragon fell onto the pillar that he was on. The stairs broke of from the impact, and he was left trapped at the top with the dragon. He carefully and slowly walked towards it, but suddenly it awoke, and lunged at Deminu. He tried to back away, but before he could, the dragon bit him on the arm. Pain surged through his body. And then, the dragon was gone. He was relieved by this fact, but all of a sudden, the pain came back, worse than before. He screamed in pain as his eyes glowed purple. His wound began to skin over, becoming cold and black. It spread throughout his body, and suddenly the pain was gone. He looked down at himself and saw some sort of Enderman instead. He touched his face and felt cold, black, smooth skin. This isn't happening, he thought to himself, It can't be. Then he looked down at the ground at his Enderman brothers.Brothers? What is wrong with me? Then he had a thought. He concentrated on the ground and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he was standing on the spot that he was staring at. What if I used this against my enemies? An evil grin spread across his face at the though. But no! I can't! Yes, I should... No! He screamed, and was surprised to hear the sound of an Enderman. But as he did, he saw something floating in the air above him. It looked like a small Ender Crystal, like the ones on the top of the obsidian pillars. He reached up to grab it, and when he did he was surrounded in white light. When it dissipated, he was himself again. He looked at his hands, and touched his face to find that part of it was still Ender. He moved his hair to cover it, hoping nobody would notice it. He then pocketed the crystal, and began to walk towards the exit portal. Skills: Quite good with a sword. Inventory: Ender Crystal, Ender Sword, bow and a quiver full of arrows Main Weapon: Ender Sword Other: He is the son of Herobrine

Two days later, a strange aura emits from the crash sight, and a hole is opened in the force field.

One teenager was caught attempting to escape through the hole. he was immediately captured and brought before Makuta, the War-Bot, ruler of the city.

  6. Okay, new idea for a roleplay. It's called The Ruins of Minecraft, and here's the storyline: Note: I do not know if anyone else has had this same idea. A devastating accident has swept over the world of Minecraft, leaving it a husk of its former glory. Many people perished, but a few strong people survive. Foraging weapons and supplies from decimated cities, the survivors have a challenge ahead of them. The monsters, strengthened by the accident, now rule over Minecraft. Their goal: to clear the entire game of survivors. Many have died trying to escape the monsters. The survivors who were cunning enough to escape the monsters and strong enough to avoid being poisoned by the accident, are living by themselves, always training for a battle, always keeping watch. They initially fight against each other for control of the major cities, but they must soon team up to go to war against a rising menace. This new bad guy tests the survivors' skills to the limit, and although they try and try to defeat him, there is no hope. Or is there...? (Sorry about all the big words. That's what dictionaries are for, eh?) So, here are the rules: 1. No swearing/inappropriate material. 2. No OP (No invincibility, no instant mob death, etc) 3. Stay on topic, please 4. Do not change the setting; ask the narrator (me) and I will. 5. Don't change the storyline too much 6. Have fun! (Lol) Here is the form: (Bold is required) Name: (Nickname too, if you have one) Age: Weapon: Good/Evil (Don't be afraid to be the bad guy!): Personality: Skills: How long have you been surviving (max is 2 years): Background info: Secrets (You can put this in a PM; no one likes a spoiler): Okay, here is my character: Name: (Nickname too, if you have one): Adelia (Ade, for short) Age: 14 MC years Weapon: Prefers a bow Good/Evil (Don't be afraid to be the bad guy!): Good Personality: Intelligent, cunning, swift, nice Skills: Mining and fighting How long have you been surviving (max is 2 years): A year and a half Background info: Likes to taunt the bad guy and always hides a sword up her sleeve Secrets (You can put this in a PM; no one likes a spoiler): You'll find out... hehe If this RP gets good enough, I will make it into an animation and with your permission, I will use your skin in it!

  20. Basiclly its the end of the world and its afterevents...yeah...ROLEPLAYS! Plusle: *dodging a burning car*AAAHHHHHH!
  21. So, a lot of arguments are usually about roleplay in the chat. So, to eliminate this, I have found some rules of roleplay that are pretty well put together: List of Rules: To follow is the list of common role-play rules that every role-player should understand and follow. Do Not God-mode: Godmodding is when a character features god-like abilities, such as invincibility or mind control, or other unrealistic powers that don't fit with lore. It's also considered godmodding to refuse death in fights or ignore role-players in scenarios in which said role-players are attempting to attack you. Nobody's good at everything; try and keep yourself in check. Non-Example: "I can kill you with a single touch." *She reaches to touch his skin, and if she succeeds, his flesh will fall off of his bones.* Do Not Metagame: Metagaming is when a player applies OOC-retrieved information to their IC character, such as participating in a war that you only saw was stated to be happening on a clan's thread on the forums, or hearing whispering because you saw the text, and knowing a character's name because you saw their username. This is the most commonly broken rule of role-play and most infuriating for many. Non-Example: ((after being sent a PM from Chad)) *Jeremy the necromancer teleports into the scene immediately and rushes to the corpse of his buddy Chad, just moments after the arrow pierced his heart.* Do Not Mix IC and OOC: Related to metagaming, it is considered taboo to "mix ic and ooc." That is, players are generally encouraged not to associate information and events that occurred between active, playing characters and events that occur between the role-players themselves. Most often, when players associate OOC information with their IC behavior, whether it be how they percieve another character or actually acting on information they wouldn't otherwise have, it's called metagaming. However, it's also considered poor form to take IC information and apply it OOC. That is, if character A insults character B, and player B takes character A's insult as a personal attack from player A rather than exclusively an IC attack on character B, that is mixing IC and OOC. Any instance of holding against a player what his/her character said or did violates this rule (not to be confused with holding against the player any rule violations he made while controlling his character). Another instance which is less inflammatory but still technically a violation of this rule is if character A says something, character B doesn't understand or takes it the wrong way, and player A deigns to explain himself OOC to player B. This is especially the case when player B already understood but was intentionally allowing his character to mis-react for the sake of adding interest to the game or being true to character B's nature. This cramps the flow of role-play and can sometimes be insulting to a player, since it suggests that player B's character is a Mary Sue who player B can't separate himself from. Do Not Auto (Autohit, Autowalk, etc): Autohitting is when a player performs an action without giving the affected players a chance to respond. For example, running up to somebody and saying *Stabs in the heart* then running off would be autohitting. Auto also applies to non-combative actions to which another player might have a reaction. Saying, *The black knight slips past the guards and into the castle,* while white knights are guarding the entrance to the white knight's castle would be autowalking on the premise that, in all likelihood, those knights would stop you before you got past them. This can easily be fixed with a simple rewording. Add "tries to" or "attempts to" to clarify that your character intends to perform said action, but his success depends on the responses of those around him. More advanced role-players will go into detail with their actions and emphasize their attempts. This is a frequently broken rule by newer role-players. Non-Example: *Melissa throws a lit match onto the bed of her unfaithful lover and his mistress, then watches spitefully as his hair quickly catches fire and the two begin to burn.* Do Not Lorebreak: Lorebreaking is when a character breaks lore, which is anything that likely affects a character or scenario. The basis for these commonalities is origin, culture, and known historical events. For example, a vampyre that is unaffected when crossing the holy salve barrier is a lorebreak because vampyres are weakened outside of Morytania where the sun shines. Lorebending, a similar term, is when existing lore is lightly modified (Hence the term lorebending), but not significantly or in a way that detracts from the role-playing experience. Often this has to do with ideas that are neither supported nor contradicted by existing lore; for example, one never comes across a goblin who excells with traditional magic in-game, but it is never explicitly stated that this can't ever be done - only that you rarely come across it. Non-Example: *Broaven the Rellekan sailor is an established water mage and heads into the settlement to meet up with his other shipmates and use his magic to help them on their next trip.* Do Not Powerplay: Powerplaying occurs when a player operates someone else's character without the other player's consent. The most blatant example of this would be a player writing, "Your character falls off the cliff when he walks up to it." As you can see, you take active control of what the other character does. Not only is this not fair to the other player, but it's also discouraged because often players will misconstrue the behaviors and personalities of characters they didn't design. Powerplaying goes into more subtle situations, however. Saying, "Sally charges Jack so fast that he wouldn't be able to react enough to avoid it," can also be considered a violation of this rule since Sally's player has controlled Jack's abilities, possibly in a way that doesn't accurately represent his character. The appropriate way to word Sally's attack would be, "Sally charges Jack so fast that it's unlikely he could totally dodge it without equally inhuman speed." This leaves it up to Jack's player whether or not Jack is actually capable of avoiding Sally. Non-Example: *Rex walks up to Jewel and moves to plant a kiss on her. Rex's rich, masculine musk overcomes Jewel so powerfully that she has no control over herself and kisses back.* Avoid Mary-Sues: A Mary-Sue is a specific kind of character that is usually considered literarily reprehensible and otherwise unpleasant for others to play alongside. A Mary-Sue is any character (of any gender, age, race, or species) who fits one or more of these descriptions: A character who’s too perfect, lacking realistic or logical flaws, or whose flaws do not affect them in real ways. A character who’s exactly like their creator, except idealized or made “better”. (E.g. more attractive, smarter, given skills, abilities & powers the creator wishes they could have.) Essentially, the creator is inserting themselves into the story, but without the flaws, quirks & limits that make them interesting and real. Users are often discouraged from creating characters who would be described as, "He's based off me," especially since that comes with the extra risk of violating the avoid mixing ic and ooc rule. A character who’s far too powerful, especially whose abilities exceed that which is possible for his/her race in the setting of the story. Particularly if said character has abilities that do not exist within the boundaries of the story’s world. Often these characters are technically legitimate, but are very, "Look at how unique and cool I am!" A character who’s cliched, having qualities or characteristics that are overused by people trying to have a powerful/perfect/cool character. This includes but is not limited to the traits listed as Popular Role-Play Trends. And that's pretty much it. Pretty GREAT rules if you ask me. Will eliminate most conflicts. All in favor say I?
