Inspired by the Work of Der Blau Wolfe

Every story, its characters, its plot, and its settings all come from the imagination of the writer. Most stories that aren't from the first person follow a certain set of guidelines. These guidelines ensure the story flows well and makes sense. The four major points of these guidelines are:

1. The writer places a wall between them self and the story, thus ensuring their involvement in the story is minimal.
2. Within most stories, there is a fourth wall that usually divides the characters from the reader.
3. With every story there is always some semblance of sense and explanation as to why certain things happen in the story.
4. Within most stories, the writer will make sure there are as few plot holes as possible.

These guidelines aren't used just for stories though. They're used for many Roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons and *cough* Nationstates *uncough*. They are a guide to help us become better writers.

...Now take all four of those guidelines and rip them up because this RP will not be following those conventional norms. In fact, it could approach the essence of what people would call "godmodding." Some people would argue there is no way in Hell that would work. Well, I don't give a damn. This is going to work because I say it will!

And now, your FAQ!

Quote:
 
Q1. Did... did you just rip my precious guidelines!? Did the author at the top do that too!?
A1: I did rip them. He didn't though. He just trampled on them, lit them on fire, and buried them at the bottom of the Ocean. Look how well that went... I'd say pretty damn good.

Q2: But the godmodding! It's against my morals
A2: Screw the morals, I got a Level Up in Badass.

Q3: ...Explain you crazy son of a bit-
A3: The Odyssey of Lunancy will be breaking the mold often used for Roleplaying games involving dice. Instead of having all stats make sense, there's an open form that will let you design your own stats. For example, you could be as lame as you want with normal stats like "One-Handed Weaponry" or go as crazy as "Anti-Hitlerness". Yeah. I made Anti-Hitlerness a phrase and a stat despite this being set in an alternate timeline and centuries before Hitler's supposed rise.

Q4: When and where is this set?
A4: Pay attention damn it! It's set in Europa which conveniently looks a lot like Europe in our world. This is an RP set near the end of this alternate history's "Middle Ages" with a declining usage of swords in favor of gunpowder. However, others opt for the more amazing talent of magic where you can burn/freeze/explode people with supernatural ability.

Q5: What if I want to use a tank!? Or a bazooka!? Or a giant dild-
A5: OKAY OKAY WE GOT IT! That's allowed. That will become your weapon though, and it may not always work... as in, if you get a low roll, it'll probably backfire.

Q6: Wait wait wait. You're rolling for us!?
A6: Hell yeah I am! What, you think you can go around succeeding at everything!? There's rules for crying out loud!

Q7: What are the rules?
A7: See below this FAQ.

Q8: Where's the application?
A8: See below the rules.

Q9: What kinda classes are there?
A9: Whatever you want. If it was around in the Middle Ages, go for it. You can be a harlot for all I care. That means you have at least one skill related to harlots. You can't be a King/Queen though, because that's not cool man... and don't try "but it's a Sultan!" I'll throw a tank in your face.

Q10: Are there level ups?
A10: Maybe. I'll probably do that arbitrarily of course, because randomness is fun.

Q11: I have a question not on here.
A11: Ask me. Duh.


Rules
 

1. Don't talk about the Odyssey.
2. DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE ODYSSEY.
3. I'm the Writer. I have a unique ability that can't be copied. You will hate me. I don't care.
4. This is supposed to be humorous. OOC fighting over stupid IC matters that can be done ICly will result in me beating you with a giant tank. Yes. I will use a tank as a club. Deal with it.
5. I will try to roll as much as possible. If I feel that I can not sufficiently handle this obligation as well as I could, I may upgrade someone to a Class "Writer", which means they can have the same special skill I have.
6. These rules are subject to change without notice, though I probably will tell you because I'm not an asshole.
