[Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
Due to general agreement between people on both sides of the line, TOWN and ACRO have been merged. Thus, all threads which previously would have fallen in once category or another, should now be tagged [NEXUS].
LONG LIVE THE NEXUS!
So, what is Nexus?
SpoilerWell, the Nexus itself is like a rift, a single, brilliant point where all the universes in this strange thing we call 'reality' meet. Traveling to, from, and between any world or cosmology is theoretically possible here, and the Nexus itself seems to encourage this happening, often sucking beings and locations out of other universes at random, and dumping them on the world that lies at its center. It was not always like this, however. Once there were two worlds at the Nexus' heart, separate and distinct, though somewhat similar in ways. Similar enough that they slowly and eventually merged, so that only one remained. Here in this world the Nexus' influence reigns supreme, and as such the world has defied almost all attempts at classification. Here, knights of old may engage with Jedi knights. Gleaming spaceships land in Dark Age hamlets. Cowboys and samurai quest together to find holy sandwich boxes. And in the heavens above, Xi Wangmu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster meet every Woden's Day to play bowls with Pelor (it gets pretty epic). Here the possibilities are endless, and the universe without rules (except the Forum Rules, and the general FFRP rules, and the Individual Thread Rules, and oh whatever). Welcome to Nexus. Fun is had here.
Major Locales
Spoiler
For an endless world that defies all logic and classification, Nexus can be pretty darn consistent at times. As such, several locations have survived the test of time, remaining (somewhat) constant amidst the chaos of the rest of the world.
Town - At the heart of the Nexus lies the city-state of Town. Self-governed by an elected council, Town can most accurately be described as a city's planner's worst nightmare. A sump of urban madness, here spires of glass and steel can be seen next to Ancient Babylonian slum. Where Hellenistic Temples co-exist with Gothic Cathedrals and the odd Oriental Pagoda. Where crumbling, zombie infested crypts lie untouched in the middle of verdant parkland. It's craaaaaazy. It's Town.
Inside - A sister city to Town, the City of Inside is less chaotic than its close relative. Inside mostly resembles a modern city, with high-rise buildings and apartments, alleyways and roads, though the odd Demonic Monument can still be seen rising up above the surrounding suburb, teeming with dark cultists. Inside is the current seat of the Acronymian Empire, which controls much of the surrounding area.
Outside - If you ain't Inside (or in Town), you're OUTSIDE! Simple as that. Outside is a meta-thread for all those wildernessy type areas that don't merit their own threads, be it wood or lake or tiny shack.
ACRONYMS - Home to adventurers, these complexes provide headquarters and occasionally living space for like-minded Player Characters. Invariably equipped with cheesy names, these structures provide a place for their various members to fight crime, cause chaos, or have kinky lesbian sex. Current Acronyms include:
- AMEN - Association for the Malicious, Evil and Nefarious. Evil aligned organization, exists to be EVIL! And sometimes Ebil.
- HALO - Heroic, Anti-evil and Lawbreaking Organization. Non-Evil aligned organization, exists to smite wrong-doers.
- GLoG - Good League of Good. Good aligned organization, exists to redeem evil-doers.
- NO - Neutralist Oganization. Neutral aligned organization, exists to arbitrate between other organizations, and occasionally do their dirty work.
- WATCHTOWER - You Know What? Screw It. Non-aligned aligned organization. Exists to destroy threats to Nexus, whatever form they may take.
The Taverns
What kind of vaguely DnDesque adventurer would you be if you didn't visit one of these places at least once? The various Taverns, Grills, Hotels, Cantinas and Restaurant provide meeting places for the Player Characters, areas for quest givers to stand mysteriously in, and also places for people to eat and spend the money they seem to have infinite amounts of. Though there are a vast number of such places in Nexus, some with their own thread and some without, throughout history three major hubs have existed, without which Nexus as we know it wouldn't exist. The Dancing Fox Inn, which is located in Town. Taverna Generica, which is located near Inside. And Trog's Tavern, which is located, maddeningly enough, in Town and Inside at the same time.

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
What she said. The stories are as long and as convoluted as... page 2 of the ACRO digest.
Gist equals: Reinholdt Prime lived, died, lived.
RM was created by RP to get at the Brightheart in GLoG pre-Astir super-evil corruption.
RC was created by Magtok based on RP post-Astir super-evil corruption to get at the knowledge and skills Reinholdt had when dealing with Calublufiok, the nasty lich who started the apocalypse era. RC is the most common Reinholdt today.
Mister Buttons was an alternate universe Reinholdt created for WW games and is probably the most sane of all Reinholdts.
Orson Reinholdt Loveless is... I dunno. Orson mind-locked in disguise or something?

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
A-yup. Mostly NASCAR. Formula One is on at unearthly hours in the morning usually, and we don't get the channel most IndyCar races are on.

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts

So which ones do Jack and Moff have?

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
Jack currently has:
-The Liar's Note
-Peace's Sword
-The Tower's Pocket-watch
And maybe one or two others halfway across the multiverse that don't grant any immediate abilities.
Yet still, the ones that give powers might actually be the least useful. The Objects contain vast, world-building power...
Power that many people are trying to tap.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
Moff Four has Object 327. I looked through quite a few of them before deciding, ruling out bringing into the Nexus the ones that are particularly scary. Like the Delete Key, that can make anything or anyone cease to exist.
End the end what decided me was the idea of Moff as an arsonist. Seemed so natural that I knew that's the one he would go for first.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
Is the Liar's Note this one?
Reinholdt doesn't have time to read all 500+ in such a short time.
Oh if only he wasn't a Treasure Hunter. And his player wasn't semi-obsessed with cursed objects.
Reinholdt Prime seems more likely to be seeker than Reinholdt Clone though. If he'd ever come up out of hiding that is.
Yes. Moff and arsonist just seem like they'd be synonymous.

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
...Now I want to make an evil character just to make it a Holder of an Object. Thanks.
Where are the Objects from anyways?

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
Hehe... If only he hadn't introduced himself as a treasure hunter, all this could have been avoided.

Re: [Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts
BR! You're meant to mention Candlejack at the start of the sentence so
Also yous guys should totally take a look at the SCP-Foundation as well for more cursed objects and evil stuff. And I'm not just saying that because that site is my own personal nightmare fuel (even more so than the Slender Man) and I never wish to visit it ever again, so I'm forcing it on you as well.Last edited by Ashen Lilies; 2010-09-05 at 06:01 PM.
