1988. The vastness of virtual space... a light in the distance. A world born out of pixelated dust.
Its creator called it Elysium. Even in the downturn of the Cold War, tensions between the United States and her enemies were still at a high, and the Creator wanted a place to call a safe haven for a select few members of humanity - and his own family. Cobbled together out of various components collected over the previous four years, the Supercomputer that drove this world was hidden deep underground in an abandoned building. Elysium would have everything they would ever need to keep their small group alive.
The Creator disappeared in 1990. Their war never came, but Elysium lived on.
30 years later. Carnahan University now sits none too far from the site of the Supercomputer. Already an esteemed educational institution in the short time since its founding, Carnahan has attracted thousands even from the so called 'Ivy League' and other prestigious schools such as MIT. A group of students find the Supercomputer, reactivating it from a low power state... and unleashing the horrors that had formed within the broken paradise. A malevolent program by the name of Endiku began terrorizing the University, and yet... his reign wasn't total. A second program appeared to combat its attacks, though Arynnia's existence - and the state of Elysium after 32 years - posed even more questions than answers. Both sides could reach out into the real world, and both soon began pulling together their forces. With the Supercomputer now unable to be shut back down, the battle at the Gates of Elysium begins, leaving only one question:
Whose side are you on?
Rules
I) No godmodding, spamming, flaming, etc. etc. etc.
II) See above.
III) I am OP. My decision is final, thank you.
IIIa) Respect my Co-OPs, Zarkenis Ultima and Sovreignry, as well. They have just about as much power as I do, and they helped develop this universe.
IV) Be active. Inactivity kills RPs.
V) Be detailed. I'd like to see at least one decent paragraph in every post, preferably at least two.
VI) No perfect characters. Everyone has their flaws and their weaknesses.
VII) Have fun.
