Infinitus
They say that you can hold a world in the palm of your hands. Such a phrase had no literal meaning to me, until I held one in my hands. A world of people that seemingly never notice or see the stars at night. I see the stars of course. I am on an actual planet and not one made of some type of material I have never heard of or seen. Maybe it is something yet to discover. So many questions, so much to tell from this little sphere. I'll just describe the thing, so you can actually picture it. Infinitus is a sphere of course, except it is pure white and it always seems to attract your attention, always seeking your attention until your gaze is directed upon it. It has no flaws on the surface, but I cannot say the same for the inside right now. I haven't been in it. Yet. The world of New Albion, by which I really mean the tiny sliver of a world called Albion. It is only a little section of a coast that is rough at one point with cliffs and jagged rocks on the end. One little section has a rounded curve, almost like a circle jetting out towards the endless ocean. I always enjoyed that one place, yet it holds so much more in our history. Several people have been murdered by the sword, by words, and by themselves by falling onto the rocks below. I stand upon it right now; in fact, it is quite windy as I hold Infinitus in the palm of my right hand. There is a person whom "maintains" the prison, but I know something else does. It always moves in my hands and always wants to fall to the ground for some reason. Our world outside Infinitus was never safe. One ruling family is all we have left and some noble families that exclude new technologies from our inventors. Perhaps if the only city would actually begin to use that technology, we would have more than one ruling family and more than just one city. There are numerous threats against the ruling family by some rebels called "The Golden Eagles" whom apparently watch everyone.
Enough talk, I shall adventure into this cube of wonders and excitement. I will finally see the enjoyment of what I seek.
Lies, all of them lies! I thought to see a paradise full of lush life and a prospering society. All I got was a stolen carriage and a mechanical spider for a pet. (By pet I mean that it almost ate me.) I made my house upon a tower full of books; Books about people and a new book about myself that seemingly fills itself with infomation. So interesting, yet I see my assumption about this place being alive was correct. It watches every place except here. People walk around, half machine with machinery visible and sometimes not. Sometimes they are even part animal. Bodies disapear within hours of a death. I do not want to know where they goes or how they go to use. Some say the souls of the people are carried off into the world itself. People are not prospering here. They are suffering. They make the world outside look better and far much more than this. People live in cells and form gangs in the massive prison complex in one of the areas that never change like mine. Other parts always change like the books inside my tower. Paths are always changing until you are lost. People want to get out of this place, but they don't know how because the first people who tried are already dead. Did I mention it has been years since I first entered? Silly me, I seem to forget that my age is increasing along with the real world. Its just that the knowledge of technologies here fascinates me. It is far greater than the ones outside. Everything used is rusted and broken down. There are no cities in this world, only towns. There is no organized government except the gangs themselves which I am quite afraid of. Towns are yet able to defend themselves. Maybe the prison does something to protect sometimes.
I am the only man to venture from the outside and to the inside. I am Melliance, one person in two far different worlds.
Rules: Limited romance. (Quite obvious which I am exluding.)
No more than 3 characters per person.
Melliance shall be one of my characters for later, if things go well. You cannot have him.
Have at least 3 sentences per post.
Typical no godmodding and such.
Not because it isn't in the rules blah blah blah. Do I really have to go over some obvious facts of roleplaying besides the most top ones?
Character sheet:
Name:
A.ge:
What world are you in?:
Appearance:
Personality:
Bio:
Items:
Rank (Gang member, Golden Eagle, Royalty, etc):
Other:
Credits: Without the needed help of noellez2rad in the many errors I made while writing. Which I most likely did right now. She also helped with the ideas forming together and offering great insight and questions to be answered in which I most likely would of excluded.
Other: Infinitus can have multiple meanings in latin and all of them relate to why it is called it:unlimited, infinite, without bounds, boundless, limitless. |

Name:Melliance Stargazer.
A.ge:47
What world are you in?:Infinitus
Appearance:He wears a shimmering green robe around himself that splits just below his knees into a triangle. The design is quite elegant and done from someone professional and obviously not any one known from Infinitus as he did not come from it. He has a strange glove upon his hand which performs 'powers' to some people which essentially all just simple magic tricks like a card trick. He has hazel eyes and grey hair that stands up in all the directions making him look just like a local of Infinitus. He has a slim build and is seen to be never made for combat. It can also go into larger detail while some roleplaying begins. This is just basics on what he would look like.
Personality:Diplomatic, witty, humorous at times.
Bio:As you seen above, that was essentially his bio in a sense of being the one describing the plot. He began as one of the inventors of his long line of family history. As he began to progress and become more prominent, he made a theory upon which that he can visit Infinitus and come back. Except, he never did come back because he never solved how to come back to the actual world outside. He became the owner of a lonely tower surrounded by bleak mountains and a ship that ran upon the fog of the mountains in which is why nobody actually found it except him. The ship is not quite large as it can be considered a little canoe for people. He is able to see infomation upon characters using the books that the prison writes. It does not write about outside characters because it would be quite ridiculous to have the prison know the outside. As more goes along more will be revealed about his character and why he never found his way out.
Items:His glove made from the same robe he carries, except held together by skin of a rather dead person whom body disappeared soon after getting the little parts of skin.
Rank (Gang member, Golden Eagle, Royalty, etc): Consider him an inventor.
Other: He was the one talking about Infinitus and the plot. |

Crap. Missed the bio. Stoopid iPad.
Bio: Grew up in middle class, always had enough, but didn't have much extra. He had his parents, and his sisters. They didn't have an overly large amount of belongings, but they didn't have a small amount. He had enough to get by, and that was fine with him. He loved his family, and he will. Sometimes he feels the need to just stare at a photo of his sister and himself from childhood for near hours before he can put it down. |

Name: Laverna Quirke
A.ge: 25
What world are you in?: Infinitus
Appearance: She has long fiery red hair with a fringe, which tends to be put in an untidy ponytail. Her eyes are dark green in color and are often framed by thick rimmed glasses. Her complexion is rather pale, due to the amount of time she spends indoors. She wears a brown leather corset and on top of that a dull, solid green military-styled jacket. Her skirt is a deep red and stops above her knee, with a bustle at the back. A worn brown top hat rests upon her head and combat boots are her shoes of preference. Her left arm is replaced with a robotic substitute.
Personality: Eccentric, intelligent, talkative and adventurous
Bio: Laverna was born and raised in Infinitus and often dreams of what it's like outside. She makes her living as a builder of automatons, and is constantly working on new robots to help the town prosper in its current dilapidated state. She used to sell her automatons to gangs for a little extra money, but she stopped that practice when gangs started to become more powerful. When she refused to sell, one of the groups decided that it was unacceptable and "taught her a lesson" by hurting her left arm, which is why it is now replaced with her own robotic prosthetic.
Items: Laverna always has a number of engineering sundries at her disposal. Besides that, some goggles that she wears while she works.
Rank: Technically a former gang member, now an engineer.
Other: N/A |

| (Why would you need a tl;dr if you would have most of the details inside the story divided up into essentially two sections. The outside world which is the first section and then the inside of Infintius is the second, but if you need a particular section and just not all of the entire text of writing. Just tell be unless you want the entire summarized thing.) |

TL;DR: There's a place called New Albion which isn't safe and is run by a ruling family and a number of smaller noble families. They keep people from using new technology which limits any progression in their society (perhaps so they can maintain a strong hold on everyone). There's a group of rebels who threaten the royals and apparently watch everyone.
There's a small sphere that exists in New Albion, and the sphere contains a world of its own called Infinitus. (Comparable to Horton Hears a Who so you can get a better image.) Infinitus is a steam punk-y dystopia ruled by gangs.
Basically the people outside of Infinitus want in and the people inside of Infinitus want out because neither of them really know what the other world contains.
I hope that wasn't too confusing, I'm not the best with summaries. x_x |
