Writer's Odyssey: Journey Through The Multiverse; REBOOT!

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 before I hurt y-
A3: Writer's Odyssey: Journey Through the Multiverse 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 without Hitler.

Q4: When and where is this set?
A4: It starts in 2027 Edena University, Pacium Union. From there it'll just go... well, wherever the story takes us!

Q5: What powers can I get?
A5: Any? Just not storyboarding. That's mine. I'll be rolling for when you attack, so-

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. I really... don't know where the Hell we're going. Just don't be Hitler. You'll die.

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

Q11: WAIT! YOU ALREADY STARTED! WHAT THE HELL!
A11: I forgot to mention that I was starting. Instead of being stuck part of it the whole way through, I am working with a different take. Now, a character can enter and exit the story with relative ease, and even return. The longer they stay in the story though, the stronger they'll be and the larger their roles will become. However, if you find that you are being swamped with other things, you can always step out of the story for a time, and then come back when more time is freed.

Note: The opening post is the only time I will not roll entirely. After that, only special events will not have any rolling involved.

Q12: I have a question not on here.
A12: 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.

At this point, I'm inviting people to jump in. Perhaps YOU could be our strange tapping noise. Are you a sinister villain hiding out and trying to find a way to destroy everything? Or maybe you're a chosen one, hidden away and by fate met up with two people who could propel you to heroic greatness.

...Or maybe you're in between. I dunno. You tell me. At this point I'll start rolling and see where this all ends up. If no one decides to jump at the chance to be the tapping noise, I'll roll to see if it's friend or foe.

[ *  *  *  *  * ]
Name: Christopher Alexander (real name: Christopher Regal)
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: Posted Image

Class: The Detective
Class Skill: Trap Disarm: Ability to sense and disarm traps before they are set off by himself or anyone else
Unique Skill:Gadgetry: Expert use of gadgets and mechanical objects and weapons to do his bidding
Stats: Attention to Detail, Anti-Stupidity, Mistrustful
Weakness: Distraction: One can distract the Detective with cheap verbal shots, such as mentioning his parents or his homeland.

Personality: Brooding and calm; Christopher is very reserved and doesn't really like to be around of a lot of people. But he is also calm and collected under pressure, especially if he is in combat or in a debate.
Bio: Christopher Alexander was born as Christopher Regal to former President of the United States of Angiris William Regal and his wife Charissa. His parents divorced when he was young, and he rarely saw his famous father, even after he became President of the United States. Christopher's life was turned upside down when his mother was gunned down in the streets of Caldeum, which caused young Christopher to be sent to live with his father in Tristram. After President Regal left office, Christopher left as a young man to study the world and its many mysteries. He took an alternative name to hide his true identity from the world public, as the son of a former Angirisian President would probably attract too much attention. He became an adept detective and has solved dozens of cases across the world in a consulting role, but usually he solved the case long before the local authorities ever got one lead.
Allegiance: Lawful Neutral, but can go Chaotic if need be.
Other Notes: TBA
