I'm trying this out as an experiment. I will start this out, but I will not be the one in control of the finish. You will. Or, that is, one of the six will. Everyone will have an equal control of the plot. When one player has control of where the story is going and they reach/finish a climax, then they will pass control on to another person.

This means there will be six arcs to the story. When in control, you do not have to make a plot point overly drawn-out, just give an interesting twist. Having control, however, does not mean you can kill someone unless they want to be killed for some reason.

This requires a little strategy beforehand. If you are the last to lead the RP, you need to figure out how to wrap things up. If you are third, you need to leave good clues that can be built upon later.

The setting is vaguely Victorian, with a few dashes of science fantasy thrown in. I don't want anyone suddenly having the ability to cast spells, or an iPod, or anything like that. It's just a slighty more advanced version of the 1800s, with anachronisms and a lot more freethinking. If you want something for your character, but are not sure, just PM me or post it here..

This might sound complicated, but as I said, it is an experiment. And it does not have to be the most briliant piece of literature ever, just something to RP.

Also, I highly suggest you be openminded to play this. I'm looking for characters who are somewhat different from the norm. If you want to make a character who is the product of incest, or abused, or a prostitute, feel free. Just don't go overboard and be all three. And this isn't to say you have to do that. I'm just leaving the options open for anyone who wants them.

So, if you have anything to ask, suggest, or discuss, post it here.
