You are now a teenager. It is your 15th birthday, and, like all those years before it, you feel as though there is something missing from your life. What you don't know is today is the day that you finally... matter. Today is the day of Reckoning and by some cosmic miracle, you have been chosen to play a game. This is not just any game, mind you. This game is the game of destruction, creation, time, space, frogs, universes, chess people, survival, villainy, and heroism. This is the story of 8 heroes as they struggle to complete their quest, only to realize in the end it was all for naught. Right now though, you are still a child, but soon, you will begin to grow up and before you grow up, you have to answer one question:
Who are you?
Author's Notes
Hello, and Welcome to Alpha, a mystery roleplay inspired by Andrew Hussie's comic Homestuck focused around 8 children as they play a game Alpha. As they play Alpha, more and more will be revealed about themselves, the nature of the game, what they are supposed to be doing, and the villain who seeks to exploit them. Just because I'm nice, I'll tell you a little about the game so you know what you're getting into:
The game is a hyper-real simulation game, meaning that the game is not a game at all, but rather a mechanism of reality. The goal of Alpha is to create a new universe, but there are numerous intricacies involved with the process of creating it.
The format for the roleplay will largely be similar to tabletop roleplaying games; I will be your sort of dungeon master, while you all shall be our heroes. You can pretty much do whatever your heart desires action-wise, and while combat is in the game, it will not be stressed unless a boss battle takes place. It is mostly up to you what will happen to your character, but I will occasionally guide you to a certain artifact, action, or thought if they stray too far from the plot.
I feel like I should tell you that this roleplay is episodic. I definitely will be doing a second episode if this one actually makes it to the end, and it's technically possible to keep going with a third being... probable, but characters will not carry over between episodes. Your character's story is done as the episode comes to a close and while we may have cameo's from the older characters, they will not be player-playable.
I think that's all the information that I can give you now. I'll answer any questions that I can below.
