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?
Spoiler
Well, 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.
I still consider myself a feminist despite having a biological attraction to certain parts of female anatomy and the desire to now and again see plate metal curvaceously wrapping around their sensual forms in a cradle of cold, sumptuous, steel.

Probably. Though if anyone asks, they fell down the stairs.

In all seriousness, they might help out. Probably should aim to talk to the male dwarf first though. He doesn't have a crossbow.
Hey, I never said they'll be happy to help out, just that they'd fit this plot well.
Speaking of the plot... *pokes monsterslayers to Inside* One person just won't do.

Shush, Kazia.

Combat? Monster-hunting?
Where is this quest?

that sense of time that sense of space
and my heart the darkness did embrace.

Oh yeah that! I think I might have Adir sign up for that.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC VI: Do You Think You Can Handle It?
Hey all in case someone has noticed I have posted in several days, and I think it is time to make it official. I'm going to take a Hiatus from posting. I don't know how long it is going to be. I think I am going to work on making my own Host a Murder Mystery.
So until I get back here is what is happening with my 3 most active characters.
Angie has disappeared from HALO. All her stuff, the few possessions she had, are still in her room. Someone might spot her in the Slums every now and then, but if they try to investigate she disappears.
Snake Lady that joined AMEN is off trying to gather as much info about GLoG and all of it's members as possible. Trying to figure out something about who killed the snake man several months back.
Phoebe a little annoyed at the fact that the quest she was on wasn't adventurous enough she wandered off into the desert.
Re: [NEXUS] OoC VI: Do You Think You Can Handle It?
Well-wishes, Bish. See you around.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC VI: Do You Think You Can Handle It?
*twitches at improper Spanish*
Bye Bish.
*poofs out of thread*
Also, why am I blond, white and wielding a green sword?
And War is like, totally not my calling.

Re: [NEXUS] OoC VI: Do You Think You Can Handle It?
I'm feeling like the dialogue is too heavy for each panel.
If you take your time with the comic (specifically drawing, but writing as well) the result will be more rewarding. Eventually, you will be able to do much more in much less time.
Re: [NEXUS] OoC VI: Do You Think You Can Handle It?
Alright. Next time, I'll take longer on it. Also, it says continued tomorrow on each because I wrote the strips a few days ago, and planned on doing them the day after the other, then I decided to put both on the site at the same time.
To the others: Ah no. I guess that goes to randomly looking at the people who posted in the various threads, and naming them like that.
