"It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart." Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between bad and good but between bad and worse. There is no "good" in the world, we just imagine it. The only thing that can be "good" is the thing that never did evil; which doesn't exist far to our knowledge. "No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death." That explains it all. Evil happens to all of us. We can't evade it. We can't stop it. We just can distract it for a while. That is when we all pretend that we are fighting for the, so called, Greater good. The thing I saw will explain all why I look at the world like this. Are you ready to see the world through my eyes, the eyes of a "Survivor"? I still pray this all is just a dream, and I can continue "dreaming" another dream. |

The story: In the land of video games, everything was fine, no wars, nothing. Only peaceful button pressing. There were the Atari, Nintendo and Sega. No one expected it. No one thought about it... Until Sega Genesis came along. It was superior to the Classical Nintendo emulation system, and so broke the rules of no overpowering before the time comes. That triggered the most famous of all video game console wars, the Bit wars. The Bit Wars: (The 4th gen console wars) That devastating war had taken a lot of lives of game consoles. Nintendo tried to compete, but only failed, because the Sega Genesis was too strong. Nintendo began weakening. Nintendo eventually invented the Super nintendo: The most successful console of all time. Eventually, Sega Genesis would weaken. Sega tried to keep it alive with various attachments, like the 32x and Sega CD. It was a major failure, and so Sega Genesis bit the dust. Nintendo would go out of this war as the more successful company. (The 5th gen console wars) As time was passing, Nintendo was planning on making a CD based add-on to the Super Nintendo, but that project was cancelled because of the arriving of the newer consoles. Sony didn't like the decision of Nintendo, and so made their own console for the 5th gen console wars. From it came out the famous Playstation, the first CD based system that actually was good. In the competition came in Nintendo's N64, and Sega's Saturn. Eventually, Sega would bite the dust first, and N64 because of the fact that it was only a cartridge based console, wasn't as successful as the Playstation. So, The 5th gen console wars won Sony. (the 6th gen console wars) When the 6th gen console wars came along, all hell broke lose for Sega. Sega didn't enter this one, and the Sega video game console production died off. Only Sony and Nintendo remained, everyone thought. From the ashes of Sega came Microsoft, and tried to enter the competition with Nintendo and Sony. And so, they made the first xbox, a giant videogame console, which was successful. For Sony and Nintendo came along the Playstation 2 and Gamecube, both very successful as well. But well again, the 6th gen console wars won Sony. (the 7th gen console wars) This war was the point when everything went down. The words pixel, polygon and similar disappeared. All the consoles in the 7th gen of consoles are called "next gen consoles", which basically means that Polygons are not visible anymore, and pixels probably too. Now this is where the real fight begins, not between the consoles, but between the video game characters. The Old video game characters uprise against the new ones. And basically, that's where the roleplaying begins... There begin the Video game WARS! Video-game Wars: The video game Wars start the same second the "new" games for the Next gen consoles come along. The better graphics, the cooler sound effects, the impossibly-easier control, the more-optional gameplay, everything. The games forgot about the thing that made them popular in the first place... The challenge. Now the older video game character (Basically everything before the 6th gen consoles) uprise against the newer characters. This war is still in progress. |

Rules: 1. No custom systems! This RP uses the systems that'll be explained in a second. 2. Video game characters can't be characters made by the player! No "I'll go with my WoW warrior draenei." That character won't be approved. 3. No immature stuff. This is supposed to be a realistic showing of video-game characters interrogating one-with-another. No "I alonez gan to da Nintenda kontinant and PWNd da houl Balmond klan!" whatsoever. 4. If someone plans to do something huge, ask me first, because we want to keep this RP not being overhauled by wars. Events like that shouldn't be that often. 5. No fighting if not challenged the other player and he says Yes. If there's a war going on, this rule mustn't be used. |

Systems: Ok, this is the fact why this game should be interesting. It will use a couple of systems (used a couple of systems): Off character / in character system: This one's not that rare, actually all of the RPs should have it. This is basically when you're something saying, and when your character's something saying. When you're talking, type in OOC, when you're in character, type in IC. This way, we can know when you're suggesting something, like "this place could be an epic place for a war". Sprite system: well, since sprites are really popular among people, and are eyecandy, I've added the sprite systems (First used by -peper-). So basically it's what your character is doing right now, and how he looks like when doing it (If you didn't understand this, view the official rp-ing thread, and see how's it used.) |
